The man .. turned to look at Theo with disdain and hate ..
"You dare ... commit such a foul act on the village's lands ... outsider ... ??" he asked in fury as the air surrounding them became thick and suffocating ..
"I wouldn't dare to do something bad if something has never been done to me before ... so it's not my fault ... " Theo said ... clearly annoyed ...
amidst the suffocating energy ... he moved nimbly ... acting as if like the pressure added into the area had no effect on him ...
"How dare you .. speak to Elder Brother like that .. you dare you incompetent outs ...-" the woman boldly said as she walked towards Theo in a fitting rage ..
the latter brushed the hostile intent off ... and glared at her ..
"You should consider this an honour of me and my captain offering you such help ... it would've been much easier for us to just let you fend off the horde by yourselves .... " he said .. in distaste ...
he then walked out away from their sights .. and went on to the path leading to the mansion which shocked the three Frost kind ...
the man and the woman got enraged .. but the man stood motionlessly whilst the woman left Laura and the captain in the dust as she dashed at Theo with her aura exploding in ever direction .. scaring the other villagers who had strength that was considered average ..
"I would've shook off the fact that you disrespected Elder Brother .. but now you even dare approach the leader's abode ... " her voice was a woman singing in an eerie silence as she brought out her hands to attack Theo ...
but before she could even inflict the slightest scratch on his body and clothes ... a booming voice only heard by her resounded in her head ..
"Let him in Disciple .. " she stopped in her tracks .. and clenched her hands into fists as she continued approaching Theo but in a rather slow pace ..
"But .. Leader ... he's shown so much disrespect toward our village .. and Elder Brother .. not to mention that he doesn't even put you in his sights .. clearly you're not thinking of letting him go unpunished ..!!" she said in rage .. and gritted her teeth in anger ...
"Disciple .. I do not need your opinion nor your approval .. halt and listen to my orders .." the manly voice said .. and shook her off from her footing and made her fall on her bum ...
"I ..." she tried to speak ... but then .. a terrifying pressure .. was then applied on her body and caused her to feel fear ..
"Stand down .."
she then let down all of her killing intent and watched as Theo ignorantly approached the mansion ...
... after a few steps ... he then stopped close enough near the giant door .. that blocked him from going inside ...
the man called Elder Brother .. walked side by side with Laura and captain Rose ... and approached the woman on the ground ...
"Why does he not bow ...??" the man asked ... with visible .. annoyance in his tone ..
"He does not fancy kowtowing .. I don't know why .. but he never bows .. " captain Rose chimmed in for him ..
the man glanced at the captain .. "That is not an enough reason to disrespect the leader in such a way ... this is a bad example ... out people .. respect the leader .. and if they see him doing things like this .. what do you think will happen ...??? would they feel that the current leader is deserving of such a leader position and title ... either he bows or he leaves this village ... " the man said ... and snorted as he walked towards the door ...
the woman on the ground then smiled and watched as the man approached her greatest pest nemesis ..
but before the man could reach him ... the door opened .. and shocked him to the core ..
his face no longer remained cold and calmly composed .. he was beet red from anger ...
"Leader !!!!.. how could you let let such an incompetent outsider .. violate the rules and do as he pleases inside the village ..!!!! he doesn't deserve the privilege to act freely like in the village like he is of high authority ... punish him ..!!! or I will punish him instead ...!!" the man madly shouted ... and started moving towards Theo ...
a dark black icy aura .. then appeared on from his body .. like his body was oozing the black substance ...
his eyes gleamed with a light blue glow .. his hair and robes floating .. and gushing upwards like a waterfall flowing uphill violently ..
the woman on the ground trembled in fear and excitement .. whilst Laura and captain Rose trembled because Theo was in danger ..
"Do you dare .. inflict pain on the one who contains the emblem of the Black Blizzard ..?" the man ... (the leader) .. then walked out of the mansion for the first time ..
with a playful smile on his face ...
the man suddenly stopped in his tracks .. in shock .. his mouth agape ...
he then. glanced at Theo's back .. and found out that the pressure he applied to all the surroundings wasn't affecting him .. rather .. the pressure was being absorbed and turned into pure energy ...
the woman on the ground had the same expression as well .. Laura and the others inside the mansion weren't exceptions as they looked at Theo with shock ..
but in their heads .. they were denying and refusing to believe what the leader told them rather than being shocked ..
"What is he ..!!! some type of a noble you were supposed to keep safe ..??!! I didn't know that an old man such as yourself would succumb to such dumb and idiotic reasonings ... " the man laughed out loud whilst the man kept his smile .. never wavering ...
"If you refuse to believe me .. than check him .." the leader said ...
the man was still laughing and paid no attention to what the leader said ..
after a few laughs .. he turned to look at the leader .. "I always thought that I was wrong when I thought that Master was wrong to give you this privileged title .. but now .. I regret thinking about it ... clearly you're not fit to become a leader ... you even dared to use such an important name to defend this outsider .. " the man said with an evil smile ...
"Check him .." the leader said again with a smile on his face ... which made the man further enraged ..
but without no choice ... he checked Theo via his superior senses ...
the moment .. his senses detected Theo's energy fluctuations ... he went silent .. and continued to look more into him ...
the only things he was able to see so far .. were the elements Theo had picked up in his past missions on this earth ...
namely the earth element .. the blue lightning element .. the win element in a green see through color ..
aside from the three elements ... he couldn't see any more than that .. and kept on looking inside his body ..
the man could see .. many of Theo's veins covered in some golden light .. that he didn't have a clue to what it was or what its purpose was ...
and aside from his veins ... Theo's blood cells .. were covered in the golden substance as well ... creating some kind of a golden star constellation ..
his brain ... every important organ inside his body had the golden cocoon ...
then finally after searching for a while .. he stopped at a certain part of Theo's body .. close to the chest ...
a tiny dot in black ..hovered next to the ribcage .. like a dot of impurity ...
but after looking closely ... he could finally see that it was a black snow flake ...
his senses deactivated and started shaking his head in disbelief ... as he looked at the leader with shock ..
"How can that be .. he is just an outsider .. I refuse to believe that he bears the mark of the Black Blizzard .. maybe it fell on him on accident ... why did it choose him instead of me .. or you .. or anyone in the village ... why him .. an outsider .. !!" the man continued mumbling as he searched for answers at the leader ..
the leader smiled .. while the Disciples ... and Laura gasped with shock ..
"But that cannot be possible .. the Black Guardian .. was fighting him .. to end his life not pass over its will over to him .. how's that possible ..!!" Laura .. looked over to the leader and wanted answers ..
"Are you sure it was trying to kill him .. ??" the leader inquired with a mysterious expression on his face ... causing Laura's face and the other's faces to pale ..
"Does anyone of you here know what happens inside a Will Domain ..?? No? .. than I guess .. I shouldn't explain things you cannot comprehend ... " the leader said one last time ... and chased out the other Disciples out of his mansion ... and invited Theo .. and him alone .. inside the mansion and sealed the mansion just in case anyone tried to eavesdrop ..
"You're a very peculiar .. one aren't you ..??" the leader said as he sat down on his mat facing Theo ...
"I apologise for my disrespect .. but I like to get straight to the point .. so I'm here to strike a deal with you ... it's like a fair trade .. you won't be losing anything .. rather .. you will be getting what you own ... "
Theo said .. standing on his feet ..
"Go on .."
"If we somehow create you an indestructible defence ... will you be willing to corporate ..." Theo looked at him .. with his eyes squinted ..
"Indeed .. as long as my village is safe from harm ... I will be willing to corporate .... " the leader said .. with a misleading smile .. that would make people trust him at first glance ..
"What I'm willing to put on the table isn't costly .. I want to keep the Blood Mammoth ... of course .. I will be trading with a much better 'something' ... " the leader .. met his eyes and chortled lightly ..
"This 'something' .. can't be the Black Blizzard emblem .. can it ..??" Theo looked at the leader .. and looked confused ..
instead of being ecstatic and very willing to trade ... the man's mind was in the open .. allowing Theo to see through him .. in a second ..
with just a glance .. Theo noticed that the man had no intentions with receiving the Black Blizzard emblem ...
rather .. he was against the idea .. it was like .. he didn't even need it ..
"Do not take me wrong ... I know what you're thinking ... it's not that I don't want it ... the emblem does not have any use to us .. we cannot use it for our own good .. besides .. even if you wanted to take it out of your body .. it would prove to be impossible ... it has already chosen to be bound to you .. forcefully removing it will cause you permanet damages to your body ... and fret not .. young man .. as long as you hold the end of the deal I will give you the Blood Mammoth .." the leader said ...
Theo then closely looked inside of him .. and saw that the black dot .. was forming .. black blood clots ... but rather than being harmful .. it was enhancing his genes and power in ice elements ..
and more to that .. his golden cells .. kept multiplying into billions if not septillions ...
and as if like the two energies were helping each other ... the black snow flake .. exploded with a black substance that took over a half of his cells ... it even took over half of his brain ..
although these were his powers .. he felt as if like he was being taken advantage of ...
