Legendary Architect of Apocalypse-Chapter 193: Switch

"Hmm?" Elten had been keeping an eye on his nephew, but when that storm appeared, he wasn't able to see his nephew anymore.

Even with his godlike abilities, he wasn't able to see through the storm which looked like it was made purely from the essence of this world.

"Now that I think about it, that little spirit was born on earth and caught by Dreke, right? Is she going through a completion on her own? What an interesting little fable."

"How can it be possible?" Helen's reaction was much more incredulous. "Once the creation of a fable is interrupted, they are left as an incomplete fable. Even if they are brought to the same place again, nothing can happen. So how can it be now?"

"Just because we haven't seen it happen before, doesn't mean it's impossible. Maybe it needs talent, as well as the right opportunity?" Elten mumbled, standing up from his throat.

He disappeared, and materialised before the merger storm. He tried to walk inside the storm to see the complete process, trying to walk through the privacy curtain.

"Hmm?" To his surprise, he was sent back flying the moment he touched the storm. He couldn't simply pass through the storm without first destroying it.

He believed that he could destroy this storm if he really wanted to, but that would interrupt the completion of the fable once more.

In the end, he gave up the thought. After all, it was still a fable that belonged to his little brother. It wasn't a good thing to interrupt the process, especially if it was such a unique process.

He returned back to the sky, and sat on his throne next to Helen. "I look forward to the kind of growth this little spirit will have, if it can even push me back."

He didn't know that he wasn't pushed back by the completion of Lycorice, but by the Merger Storm. And Elias would've wanted it to be that way.

Merger Completion Time:

23:59:01

..............

"Almost an entire day for the merger? It's a lot shorter than I thought it was going to be."

Elias was somewhat pleased by the merger duration, although not quite satisfied since he wanted a longer duration.

Still, twenty four hours was enough time for a distraction. It was enough for him to put his first priority into motion.

With the merger storm lasting for an entire day, he didn't have to worry about Lycorice's safety. He had at least twenty four hours to put his plans into motion, and that's exactly what he did.

The merger storm stopped others from entering or leaving. But for him, it was no different than a thin veil that he could pass through any time he wanted.

Still, he didn't leave this place directly.

He placed his fist on the layer of ice beneath his feet. A deep blue fire started burning under his fist, and melted the snow just enough to create an opening for him.

He took off his clothes, and changed into the clothes of the Creator Class Students that he had killed. He jumped into the river, a thin layer of fire surrounding his body.

The river kept melting as he swam through it, going farther from the merger storm.

It was only after getting a hundred miles away from the merger storm, he swam up. He melted the surface of the ice again. His hand came out of the water, and the layer of flames was gone.

He grabbed the ice, and pulled his body up. His clothes were drenched in cold water, but he still didn't feel cold. After the merger with the Ice Phoenix Flames, his tolerance for low temperatures was much higher now.

Just to be safe, he erased his presence as much as he could, using the Domain of Shadow and traveled even farther from this place.

He traveled back to the small town where he had killed the students of the Creator Class. After killing the first few of them, he only knocked out the rest of them, and made sure that he was seen by the two Professors.

Amongst those he left alive, there was one very particular person that had caught his attention, someone who was absolutely perfect for what he wanted to do.

His Analysis Screen, and the information that he gathered through Astralious in the Academy further helped him narrow down the target from the Creator Class.

It was a young boy, who was only two years older than him. He had a weak ability, and came from an ordinary mortal family.

The reason he was even able to attend the Academy was because his family had once helped a previous graduate of the Academy.

It made the graduate help him, but that was the extent of it and their connection was cut with the favor being repaid.

His other target was a boy who was an orphan, and had no one to care about him. But something about him had made Elias suspicious, so he gave up on taking the identity of that person.

He was also somewhat surprised to find out that it was that same person who was kidnapped by the Pirates. But that had nothing to do with him anymore.

He soon reached the small abandoned building where he had stocked all those from the creator class that he had beaten up.

He made it seem as if he did that only to insult the boys, but it was just the perfect place for him to stay out of everyone's sight.

Now that everyone's attention was on the merger storm, and the city was already left empty, it couldn't be any better for him.

He entered the small house, and walked past the bodies of unconscious boys and girls that were still not saved by the Academy since the test was yet to be over.

All of them had their Summoned Beasts being killed by him, which further removed anything that could give away the identity of one of them being fake.

Still, not wanting to get any more burden, Elias went straight to the little boy that he had targeted.

He grabbed the boy by his collar, and dragged him inside the shadow realm.
