292 Is this that obvious ?
When Caleb would have finished crafting the weapons for Ian, he would just have to use his Stage 2 to fill Talismans with the lightning particles at high speed, after all their team was growing in number and lightning particles were essential to craft stun weapons.
The combination of water, wind and lightning particles was the best in his opinion, not only could they paralyse their opponent with the lightning and water particles but they could also attack with ice picks thanks to the water and wind particles.
He would also have to help Ashton to absorb enough light and darkness particles so that he could use both elements. He didn’t know if the light particles were as effective against Titans as they were against demons, but in any case the darkness particles inflicted severe wounds no matter what race they were from, so it was therefore essential that all the mages in their team could use both of those elements.
When Mykael joined them after finishing training their friends, Willow was still asleep on Axel’s lap and they both stopped their training immediately.
And while Kevin was cooking Mykael ended up asking him curiously : “What’s bothering you, you seem to be deep in thought.”
Kevin then replied to him when he saw that the father and son were both looking at him with concern : “I was thinking about what Derek said. He said that we will need two champions in addition to Ian for this duel and that we would have to win both of these fights as well to win the duel… Do you think the Warrior Spirits that Lilith trained will be one of them?”
Mykael answered him honestly : “I don’t know. Yesterday Colin poisoned Lilith’s meridians directly with the particles of light you left in the stake you used to pierce her skull. And he also used the particles of water and lightning in it to slow down her regeneration as much as possible.
So I don’t know who’s giving the orders in her absence because she’s probably going to stay unconscious for a few more days, and I have no idea if the man she’s been bragging about will be one of the champions we’ll have to face during the duel.”
He then added : “If it’s not him, there’s a good chance that it will be other Titans.”
Kevin nodded and said to him : “You’re right, there’s no point in thinking about it too much right now… Derek said we could be his champions so everything should be fine, and once the demons territory is returned to the inhabitant of this world, we’ll just have to deal with the King of the humans torritory and Cassandra’s men.”
He then asked him curiously : “Will you be able to recognize them, those who work for Lilith and Cassandra?”
Mykael frowned uncertainly and said to him : “I would be able to identify all the men, women, demons, and other creatures that Lilith and Cassandra have marked, but only those that they have marked, if there were more I would have no way to recognize them.”
Kevin nodded and he then said to him : “It’s still better than nothing… Tell me, you told us that Colin was trained as a Warrior Spirit, that means his fighting skills are exceptional, right?”
Fuck, thought Mykael immediately, maybe he shouldn’t have praised Colin so much, no matter what his son-in-law was going to tell him he was sure he wouldn’t like it.
But curiosity got the better of him and he asked hesitantly enough to draw Kevin and Axel’s attention to him : “Why… What exactly do you want him to do?”
Kevin suddenly hesitated too, Mykael seemed very protective of Colin, but if he was as impressive as he told them, he shouldn’t have a problem with what he was about to propose him, so he finally said : “I wanted us to take advantage of the fact that many demons will be gathered in the same place to discreetly get rid of those marked by Lilith and the Titans who could possibly be there, thanks to my system it will be child’s play to unmask them.”
Mykael sighed with relief and he said to him : “We don’t need Colin for that, I will take care of all those who have been marked by Lilith myself and you will only have to contact me by the communication stone to tell me where the Titans are, I will send them all to a special dimension that serves as a prison and where they will all be interrogated by the God of War or his men.”
Axel then asked him, even though they were talking about serious matter, he couldn’t help but be curious : “You don’t have to answer but is there anything going on between you and Colin?”
Mykael chuckled nerviously and he asked them : “Is it that obvious ?”
Axel then said to him : “Well, your reaction just now was very indicative of your feelings for him, but otherwise I wouldn’t have guessed it. After all, you also put your arm around Lucas’ shoulders and said that you considered him like your brother so I didn’t suspect it before… Do you want it to be a secret?”
Mykael laughed heartily and he told him : “No, I don’t want it to be a secret, but Colin and I just got together, and neither Lucas nor my men know about it yet.”
Kevin then asked him : “Can you tell us more about yourself, about your life, it’s not only Axel who would like to know you better, I also want to know more about you, you seem like a good person, and despite your status as a God you respect everyone and you don’t look down on anyone… To tell you the truth, I’m really impressed and I have the feeling that you haven’t always been a God, am I wrong?”
Mykael was relieved that Kevin chose to change the topic of conservation so he said to him : “You’re right, once Lucas and I were just humans and ordinary humans… But before I tell you my story, maybe we should talk about her first, tell me, did she fall asleep right after she finished eating?”
Axel and Kevin nodded and he said to them : ” That’s good, that means she has eaten enough, she shouldn’t wake up for another 12 hours and when she does she will still be very hungry, phoenixes have to eat a lot to strengthen their bodies.
If she is not well fed, she will get sick and feel weak. She also won’t be able to use her powers without exhausting herself, and Willow is the first phoenix I’ve met that has evolved into a divine creature, so you have to be very careful with her.
