Chapter 18 - Roots of doom

The spear town in the jegonee city were different type of titans, it was quiet. Not what kiich-ten was be expecting.

Kiich-ten didn't know exactly where or how to find Elmael, one of the legendary constructors of the palace and the city. Kiich-ten would already be think he should be a very old man, the people in the town knew who he was, the prince of jegonee city of curse.

Kiich-ten never expected the people to be rude in his presence. It seems they don't support the royalty. It was like he wasn't there, people will just look at him and act like he is not important, if they were planning to kill the royal family and kiich-ten happens to be the first, he wouldn't survive if all of them turns into their titans to attack him.

Kiich-ten boldly approached a fellow to ask where he could find Elmael. The person who happens to have been discussing with some of his mate looked at kiich-ten with disgust.

"You are looking for someone who is ready to kill you, Elmael is the head of this town. He lives in the highest building in the arc section, you should bow even though you are a royal.

The royal family will pay for what you did to us, we are just waiting till the right time comes for us." Said the man in front of kiich-ten.

Kiich-ten knew nothing about what he was saying. Something wasn't right, there was definitely a reason the he said that and if should involve the royal family. Kiich-ten was just on his mission to know about the dark instinct, kiich-ten went to where was describe for him, kiich-ten reached the place, indeed the highest building in the arc section of the spear town.

Kiich-ten was a bit nervous when he came close to the building, he went in and walked around the corridor for a while, Elmael was just walking along too when he met kiich-ten, kiich-ten didn't know he was there because he approached him from behind. Elmael could already identify his through his dress, he was one of the royals probably king leo's son.

Elmael was wondering what he doing here, he thought the royal didn't have anything to do with the spear town again.

"you are not supposed to be here, the royals are not welcome here. I think you should know that by know, kiich-ten turned to see the old man who was just behind him. Kiich-ten was about to bow then Elmael stopped him.

"I am older than that now, they might have told you to bow when you come to me.

What brings you here titan, you must be brave to meet me, what it is that you want? Elmael asked. "thank you, first what is it between the spear town and the royals, I didn't hear there was a conflict between the us and this town." said kiich-ten

"you wouldn't even know if your father had conflict with the entire nation, that's because you all stay behind the walls of the palace.

Your father executed eighteen families in the spear town which held emblems of the magus titans, the king said that the emblems where not ordinary, he said the emblems where infused with magic which was used to spy the land.

By we believe that they were innocent, King Leo didn't console the loses, he wiped out the families both parents and children." Said Elmael.

"I am really sorry for them, I think I wasn't born by the time it happened." Said kiich-ten. "It is too late to be sorry that was decades ago. So what brings you here exactly?" Said Elmael. "Yes, you were one of the constructors of the palace, I want to know which part of the it is called the root.

It has to do with the dark instinct a guess." Said kiich-ten. "How did you get to know about this, who told you?" said Elmael.

"It has to do with my mother, she was discussing with someone who could control the dark instinct, he said he wanted to wake the tree and the roots could be all over the palace. She is planning in doing something." Said kiich-ten.

"It was a secret between the constructors and the dark acres, it has never been told to anyone. It was the plan of the dark acres to take over the jegonee city long ago.

The dark acres where a very powerful clan from the jegonee city. Their titans were very huge and strong but at that time the dark acres was still rising.

If their emergence and growth was successful they would have been the strongest titans in the titan lands. Nobody knew where their source of the dark instinct they possessed came from but if it keeps growing, they won't be stopped again.

But the magus titan eliminated them all leaving none, so if you are saying you saw one, it means that they are here to awaken the dark tree and the dark acres will rise again."said Elmael.

So what can we do to stop it?" Said kiich-ten. "You most find the center of the root before they find what they call the red blood, it requires a very powerful instinct to shut it down, but it won't be easy.

You will not be able to do it alone you must hit straight at the heart of the tree which is in its root. You should get a very powerful team to do so and you must be prepared to fight." Said Elmael.

I haven't perfected on my instinct yet, how do me and vegian stop this. It seems like it is going to a huge fight." Said kiich-ten.

"wait for your fortune" said Elmael.

"I remember the sacred trees of great fortunes, it showed me a tree, that should be what it might have been telling me. I think I need to go to the main tree" said Kiich-ten.

"you should know that those sacred tree show both bad and good fortunes." Said Elmael.

Vegian was in still on the influence of the dark instinct, she didn't know what she was doing till she finally got back to her sanities, she saw herself like she was reading a book a book in her chamber, she was confused of what was happening, it took her time to realize she just walking up for an influence.

She got up quickly she had to continue from where she stopped. She thought a lot had happened while she was under the influence, she left the chamber and began to run around the palace, the maids and servants were wondering what was wrong with her.

She was looking for the strange man using dark instinct, she got to part of the palace which was opened to the outside, she fix her eyes into the large expanse of land hoping she would find him.

Some distance into the enchanted forest, vegian could see someone in the enchanted forest. Vegian ran to her chambers and collected her two chain spike whips that she stores her instinct for battle.

She ran to the enchanted forest to meet the man there. Lurock, the last descendant of the dark acres priest went into the enchanted forest to awaken the extended roots of the tree.

The glowing trees would be corrupted by the dark instinct and would make the pervaded instinct of the dark acres to awaken the roots.

When Lurock began to control the dark instinct the tree began to fall apart as they were being corrupted, vegian ran into him distracting him from what he was doing.

Lurock pulsed immediately and looked at vegian in anger. "Why would you not stop following my tail, you can't stop this, it has already began, it is the resurrection of the dark acres once again. If you do not want to get killed stay out of the way." Said Lurock to Vegian angrily, he hates it when he is been halted during an occurrence like this.

"You should stay out, the dark acres was meant to die and it is already dead, it can't be resurrected. It is dead." Said vegian which some sense of boldness even though she was frightened, she had no idea what she was getting herself into or what he was capable of.

"Curse the mouth you used to mention that" lurock said as he unleashed the dark instinct which surrounded his body, it was like a black dust.

Vegian stood there and brought out her weapon filled with the jegonee instinct powers. Lurock was the first to attack, he swiftly moved his hands releasing an attack, the dark instinct shot out of his hands with a long sharp force which tore into the forest. Vegian managed to dodge it as she moved sideways. She got up and cut the spike whip in the air towards the direction of Lurock, the whip brought out invisible multiple sharp force which dug the ground as it moved towards him.

He used the instinct and blocked the attack and suddenly shot his instinct towards vegian. Vegian wasn't expecting that so she quickly block it with her whip as she moved it fast through the air.

The force of the shot was too much for her, it push her several distance backwards and her whips left her hands. She didn't have anything to fight with but she had one final weapon, lurock was shooting his dark instinct towards her while she was running to dodge it.

Lurock settle down to find her location as he could see through the dust, vegian saw where he was and suddenly she sucked air into her mouth and after a while she released an enormous echo sound which destroyed everything at her front.

She thought she gave lurock a huge shot. Suddenly lurock appeared at her side, locked her mouth and gave her a hard hit on her head, she fainted falling to the ground unconsciously, and she was surely not expecting that.

"You would stay out of this when I am done with you" said Lurock.

Vegian woke after sometime after, all she could see was large tree roots like vines it was very dark accept from the few blue glowing light that came from the roots and a huge blue big glowing ball far ahead from her, she was tied to one of the tree roots.

It was like the tree roots were endless. It should cover the whole of the jegonee city. "kiich-ten, where are you?" vegian said.
