Chapter 262: The Treasure in One’s Palm (3)
There were no surprises. Three days later, Lapicel came back with the answer. "I figured it out!"To confirm, Varos, Serati, and Leven immediately followed her to the secret training hall.
—Not that we need to. It’s obviously real.
Varos's certainty made Serati raise an eyebrow.
—You’re not even considering the possibility that she might be wrong?
—Of course not.
Well, she had made a mistake in the past. That was how Karnak had caught her. If she hadn’t made a mistake, she wouldn’t have ended up with that terrible fate.
—But as a warrior, I trust her absolutely. I was her enemy. I’d know best.
Once inside the hall, Lapicel took a deep breath. With all eyes on her, she calmly drew up her aura. It was the chaos aura Karnak had bestowed upon her, still not yet fully her own. Blue aura surged like fire, wrapping the gray-haired girl in flame.
"Right here, like this..." She muttered as she swept her sword through the air.
The movement looked more like a ritual from a shamanic rite than swordsmanship. A gust of wind stirred, and simultaneously, something within her shifted. What was once separate became one. What had not been her now became her.
Serati and Leven had to struggle not to let their shock show. Just as the setting sun claimed the sky, Lapicel’s sea-blue aura slowly turned into a magnificent shade of purple.
