Rise of the Malactric Heir



Ifrit looked at Adora as she was looking down, then approached her and she glanced at him and he patted her on her shoulder and she smiled at him.

Ifrit had begun worrying about all of them and what might happen if they continue to fight someone who was powerful to face them head on but he knew it was better than giving up and wanted to continue fighting alongside them.

"Adora, if things goes... Are you really going to be okay?" he asked and she glanced at him.

"Yeah, I am not new to such feelings Ifrit, I need to make a call," she responded.

"You need to be careful now, Adora, don't forget, your father's wish is for you to take the throne next, you are his one and only heir, it's your responsibility," Ifrit said and she looked at him.

"The throne huh? I will fulfill my responsibilities, if something happens to him, don't worry so much Ifrit, it's not good, I will be fine," she replied, then patted him on his shoulder before walking away and gnashing her teeth and Alix's eyes narrowed as Ifrit's brows furrowed.

'I am having a bad feeling about this,' Ifrit thought before exhaling deeply.

"Relax Ifrit, I am here," Alix said and Ifrit flinched before looking at Alix who smiled at him.

'I almost forget, he is also here, I wonder what's with him? There is something definitely wrong with his story, but it doesn't matter, I have a feeling, he has a greater role to play in all of this,' Ifrit thought.

"You are right, thanks Alix," Ifrit replied and Alix nodded then looked up at the sky when he felt a tightening in his chest, his eyes widened as they began glowing and he clutched his chest tightly and Ifrit looked at him.

Alix began taking in deep breaths and Ifrit's eyes narrowed as he looked at him and then approached Alix.

"Hey, are you okay?" Ifrit asked and Alix gnashed his teeth before looking at Ifrit.

"Yeah, I am fine, thanks," he responded.

"You don't look fine, are you sure?" Ifrit asked and Alix smiled at him.

"Yeah, don't worry, I am fine," he responded.

"All right, if you say so, I will take your word for it even though, I don't feel like I should," Ifrit said and Alix chuckled as the pain began increasing and he clutched his chest even tighter.

At the same time, Adora returned to the deck and when Ifrit turned to the others, Alix's eyes glowed red for a split second and Adora saw.

Her eyes narrowed and she approached Alix then placed her hand against his chest, he glanced at her and she sighed.

"I want to talk to you for a minute, please come," Adora said before grabbing onto her arm and taking him with her.

'Why the hell is it acting up faster? This is not supposed to move so fast, damn it, seems like I have no other choice,' Adora thought as she took Alix to his room then locked the door and his eyes switched to red and purple.

Adora turned to Alix and her eyes shook when she saw the look in his eyes and his body began glowing slightly red.

At that moment, Adora felt the pressure coming off of his body and she swallowed before approaching him and grabbing onto his shirt.

"One minute, I have to open another way, do me a favor, don't let your energy go further than this room, Alix," she said.

He took his shirt off, then nodded and she took a deep breath, her eyes began glowing as well as her body and a magic circle appeared under his body.

Adora pressed her hand against Alix's heart and the clawed armor appeared on his arm. Adora closed her eyes as her energy surrounded his body and she began seeing the locks on his heart and his body energy began surrounding hers and she gnashed her teeth.

'The pull on the gates will take energy, I have to take another off because it's showing that it's ready to be opened, no, it's because Alix wants to know more, his will is overpowering the locks on the gates, it will take a lot of my energy to open it but, only I can do it,' she thought.

Alix looked at Adora and saw the energy around her body was changing and he began feeling a grip on his heart and a different amount of energy flowing within his body.

'What the hell is this?' Alix wondered as the lock on the gate that Adora gripped began pulling apart due to her, forcing it. Alix felt a bit of pain but it was nothing he couldn't handle.

"I am sorry, just another minute," she said and he looked at her then placed his hand on her waist.

"It's fine, I can handle more than this, do what you need to," he replied and she smiled a little, then focused on the gate and how to carefully open it so that it won't hurt Alix and it would disappear, allowing him access to more of his abilities.

"It's going to fully open and disappear any minute now, Alix, make sure you have control of the energy, don't let it leave this room, no matter what, I cannot give you or the others the answers just yet," she said.

"I get what you are saying don't worry," he replied and she nodded, then kept on breaking through the gate.

'Now for the final touch, soon enough, I will have to open the rest of it, it's only a few more and we are done, he will see what he truly is, come on now, it's time for you to open, your master is quite stubborn, his will has gotten, stronger, soon the hunger might awaken,' she thought as her body began glowing brighter as well as his body.

Alix did as told and kept the energy from flowing out of the room and the gate snapped open, the energy around his body got stronger, pushing her back and he grabbed onto her arm as his eyes glowed brighter.

He felt the energy within his body, then released her arm and she looked at him. Alix looked at Adora and his eyes narrowed.

'Adora, she is really strong, that I know from the energy she was giving off, but how strong is she and now how strong am I? I can't wait to find out,' Alix thought with a smirk on his face.
