Chapter 17: Luxion(4)
A grim silence fell over the room.
"The first one asked the second: who? Arcadius?"
"I'll tell you about him later," the second replied.
At that moment, something strange began to happen around Luxion. A creeping darkness surrounded him, descending like a veil. A faint mist appeared, thickening rapidly. Suddenly, Luxion seemed to "explode" — his metallic frame began crackling with electricity, the air around him humming with tension.
"Arcadius, you say..." Luxion's voice had turned menacing, laced with malice. "If you've mentioned him, it means he'll be part of the future. Master?"
"First of all, call me sir or just Leon. Every time you call me master, it gives me the chills," Leon said, narrowing his eyes.
Luxion stayed silent, prompting Leon to continue:
"Secondly, it's not just that he'll appear. He'll come here personally, and his goal will be singular: to kill everyone in this country and the neighboring ones. These lands once belonged to the so-called 'Old People.'"
"That subject... he's not surprising. Yes, this is typical behavior for him," Luxion remarked calmly, his tone analytical.
