Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 354 "There Can Never Be True Peace."



Adora was aware that the way she was feeling was unlike anything she had ever felt before, but the problems they were facing prevented her from even speaking about it because she knew that everything was on the line and there was still a lot to be told.

Later that day just after nightfall, they were still trying to figure out what the enemies next move might be, Adora and the girls brought dinner and placed it on the table when Alix noticed that his map appeared in his pocket and he sighed before looking at the food and Adora who smiled at him then he scoffed.

"I think I will eat, thanks for the meal," Alix said as he took his food.

"You are welcome," they replied as they sat down and took their food as well as the others.

While eating Alix felt his heart tightening and he clutched his chest and gnashed his teeth, realizing that it was the block that was causing it to happen.

'Why is this happening? Do I have to open another gate?' Alix wondered and Adora glanced at him and her eyes narrowed when she noticed he was holding onto his chest while eating.

"Hey, are you okay?" she asked and he glanced at her.

"Yeah, I am fine, eat," he responded with a smile, then she sighed and continued eating her food, feeling as though something was wrong but didn't realize what it was.

"We still have much too do and don't know how much time we have, do you think we'll make it through this one, Adora?" Misran asked, and she immediately stopped eating then looked at him. He smiled before lowering his head and looking at the map on the table before them, the one from which they tried to figure out their next move.

"Do you want me to be honest?" she asked.

"Yes, I do, that's way better than anything else," he responded and she sighed.

"Chances of survival are limited on both ends, perhaps, but one cannot be certain about any of this for a variety of reasons, so the answer to your question is an I am not sure Misran, what we do need to do now is what we have done all along, fight, survive, and protect, don't you think that's our best option?" Alix inquired, and Misran chuckled.

"Yeah, that's the only way we'll know if we have a chance of defeating their leader, which I think we might have," he replied.

"Whoever the hell he is, I despise people like that, the ones who live in the shadows most of the time; they are a pain to track down and require far more than just time," Yan added.

"You are right, they are a pain in the butt, especially if they are powerful, they believe they can rule the world out of nowhere, simply pathetic," Kyris said.

"If you could just get rid of them all," both Kyris and Alix said at the same time and they looked at each other as everyone looked at them then they burst out laughing and Adora chuckled.

"Everyone wants to get rid of those kind but.." Serina said.

"But no matter what, they will always be out there, there will always be people who do things for their own selfish needs or revenge or something else, who knows what, one thing is for sure, there will never be true peace within this world, not now or ever, that's not possible as yet not sure if it will ever be, there will always be ones with different opinions and so on," Alix replied and Ifrit nodded.

"You are right Alix, the world can never truly be at peace like that," Ifrit added and Alix sighed.

"Jealous sometimes is one of the main reason, with mankind, there will never be true peace no matter what happens, you are all right about that," Adora said and they smiled before nodding.

A few minutes later, after they finished eating their dinner, Adora drank a glass of juice then got up and stretched off.

"I am going to freshen up," Adora said as she was about to talk up the stair to get to the other half of the ship where the rooms were and at the same time Kyris began getting the same death scent that he was getting before and he wiped his nose before looking at Adora and he sighed.

"Why am I getting that again?" he mumbled and Alix glanced at him.

"Getting what again?" Alix asked.

"The very same scent that I was getting before, the one of death," he responded and Alix's eyes narrowed.

"That's weird, why are you getting it again?" he asked and Kyris shrugged, since he didn't know why he was getting it while Adora went to her room to freshen up because she was tired and was not ready to sleep due to a lot of things being on her mind.

"Well, we have taken precautions so it should be fine, maybe we have just been at this for too long, you guys should get some rest," Alix said and Kyris yawned before stretching off since they were indeed tired after a long day of thinking and planning out things.

"I think I will turn in as well, it's late, how about you, Nina?" Yan asked as he looked at Nina, who glanced at him before smiling and he held onto her hand with a smirk on his face and Nina chuckled.

"Sure, I will come with you as well," she responded and Alix chuckled.

"Guess we should all turn in, we can get back to all of this tomorrow," Ifrit said as he got up.

"You are right," Alix replied when his map shimmered and he looked at it as Adora came down the stair and the death scent Kyrsi was getting got even stronger and his eyes widened as he looked around.

"I think the reaper is here," he said and Adora's eyes widened as everyone felt the presence of darkness coming from Adora's direction and before she could move. A reaper suddenly materialized behind Adora, grabbing her and everyone flung up from their seats.
