Chapter 206 - Feeling Weak And Powerless
Chapter 206 – Feeling Weak And Powerless
Ian told them that Kevin had just confronted Lilith the Goddess and creator of all demons, and he explained to them why she had tried to kill them, he also confessed that Kevin wasn't her target but that it was him.
While he was telling them everything, he was helping Liam to collect the crystals of the Elemantaries and there were a lot of them, the fact that they weren't sharing their booty with an entire sect made this treasure really priceless.
But he knew those crystals weren't what his man was interested in so once he was done telling everything that had happened, and that all the crystals were picked up, he knelt on the ground and put his two hands flat on it leaving its earth element looking for ores in the rocks that surrounded them.
Liam who after hearing that this Goddess, who had created Ian by the way, wanted to eliminate him because she could no longer use him, felt for the first time in a long time weak and powerless to protect his mate.
When he saw Ian getting up a smile to the lips he crossed the few meters that separated them and he took him in his arms, regretting all their misunderstanding that had kept them away from each other for so long.
Ian hugged him too and said : "Don't worry my little wolf, it's up to me to protect you now, and we're not alone to face this, don't forget who Axel's father is and this phoenix who will soon join us will also be very powerful."
Ian rested his forehead against his and he said again : "It will be okay, you'll see."
Liam then kissed him passionately and when he stopped their kiss he asked him still an inch from his lips : "Love, did you find anything interesting inside all that rock ?"
Ian chuckled and gave him a kiss before saying : "There's a lot of Nerudium in a lot of different places."
Liam reluctantly stepped aside but his excitement was visible to anyone, and Ian then moved towards the wall in front of them and still using the knowledge of the Drakonits, he used his earth element to move the rock in front of and around the ore.
The extraction went relatively quickly and Ian seemed to be doing it effortlessly which amazed everyone.
Alan and Erik joined Liam and they were watching Ian extract the ore as if it was something he was used to do.
Axel also joined them with Kevin in his arms, and he couldn't help but feel jealous when he remembered how hard he had worked to extract the Nerudium he had found in the second dungeon he had looted with Kevin, it had taken him almost 2 hours while Ian did it in only a few minutes.
The Nerudium Ian had extracted from the rock wall was a bright blue and he handed a piece to Axel to see what Kevin's system would tell them.
Axel was also curious so he took the piece of Nerudium and did exactly the same as with the crystals.
[ ITEM ]
Nerudium high grade 170g : ore used to craft artifacts, filled to its maximum capacity with water particles, value 85 000 gold coins ( 500 000 gold coins per kg ), do you want to sell it, Yes / No ?
Erik then said stunned : "I didn't know that weapons crafted with Nerudium were so expensive, I would never be able to buy one.
Axel smirked and said : "Me neither, I didn't buy this one, I only got it because I stole it from the boss of the purple dungeon and Liam agreed to let me have it.
Alan said suddenly puzzled : "How could my cousin give me such a weapon then ? Even if my aunt helped him, it must be worth a fortune."
Liam coughed to hide his embarrassment, it was his father who had given it to him and asked his cousin to find an excuse for him to accept it.
When Alan last year had not only won the mage competition at the annual capital's tournament but also the duo fights competition with Axel, his father had been so proud of him that with the agreement of Alan's brothers he had decided to give him the sword artifact that was the heritage of their family.
If Alan knew that not only was his sword probably worth a fortune but that it was also the heritage of all the fighters in his family, he would be amazed.
To change the topic quickly he asked Ian who had guessed why he was so embarrassed : "Love, you said you found more in several places, let's see if we can find some with fire particles in it."
Ian nodded and as he continued to extract the Nerudium from the walls, Kevin began to move in Axel's arms.
Axel immediately tried to reach him through their telepathic link and Kevin opened his eyes and said out loud : "It's okay, the backlash from using my Warrior Spirit skill wasn't that strong this time because I can control it now.
Please remember me to thank Ashton for his miracle remedy once again."
Kevin snuggled in his arms to find a confortable position because he was still feeling sleepy, he rested his head in the crook of his neck and said : "Without you and this remedy I would never have gotten rid of this necklace, thank you honey."
Axel agreed completely with Kevin, Ashton's remedy had probably saved them all today because without it, Kevin might not have woken up to fight against this goddess.
He then said to him : "We still have 2 small magical crystals of legendary grade, let's give him one, I think it would be better if he was in a pavilion and could meditate with it.
Alan has already provided him with weapons that are powerful enough for him at the moment so this is the best way to thank him, don't you think so ?"
Kevin kissed his neck and said : "That's a great idea, let's do that then … What happened after I passed out ?"
Axel told him : "Everything is fine, all the Elemantaries are dead and we are collecting all the Nerudium that is in the rock."
Liam then said : "Actually Ian is doing it and we are watching him, if you need to rest you can, we are safe now."
Kevin who was still feeling sleepy said to Axel directly through their telepathic link, 'Sorry honey, I'm still too sleepy, wake me up when we get to the next dungeon.'
He heard the soft sound of Axel's laughter echoing in his head and then he asked him, 'Babe, how am I supposed to wake you up.'
