Chapter 59 - Awake

Mera left not wanting to disturb them, she tiptoed around the house first visiting Tang who seemed to still be in coma.

After taking painkiller, she wasn't even awake to see what transpired when they arrived in the village.

Mera saw deep gnash on her knee as well as other deep cuts due to them fending off the ambush and began to regret her decision.

Brainwashed or not, they were just kids. They didn't know right from wrong, they were just defending themselves. It was not right of her to imprison them without any proper investigation.

She also heard Jake and others in adjacent rooms, they were yelling but because their mouths were covered only muddled noises came out which were barely coherent.

She knew they were proclaiming innocence, even when confronted by elders and flame emperor, they refused ro believe their leader, Noah was a spy.

Since she wanted to see her father, Mera didn't waste time and quickly healed Tang using her powers but with the severity of her injury, Tang would need couple of days to recover. It was not life threatening because of timely first aid.

Mera admired the foreign materials used to dress up her wounds, she didn't know how Noah got them but looking at them, she knew he was still hiding many secrets.

The procurement of weapons, food and even other bizzare things no one knew how he acquired them and brought them to the village.

They might not have went through his orange bag but such a tiny thing shouldn't be capable of holding all these materials.

She began thinking deeply about it. From his weird body which was extra risilent which was enough to block Cyra and Bijan's attacks to his ability to conjure up things out of thin air, there doesn't seem to be a common link which connects everything.

Everyone knew all sorcerers wielded unique powers through controlling magic around them. These powes varied into countless branches, they could be similar but never identical.

Like Flame emperor fire manipulation, he was proficient enough to use it to create shield but it had a distance limit. She carefully observed that he might use flames but he couldn't create it out of thin air, others might not have guessed it but she knew he must had some instrument that could create sparks which was enough to kickstart his flame magic without it he would be helpless or needed existing fire to show his prowess.

Cyra didn't have elemental magic in turn she could turn her body parts into sharp blades but whether she was still in the process of learning, she could only do it to her limbs.

Through training, she did increased her body strength to perfectly mesh with her powers granting her swiftness which showed how even a seemingly 'weak' ability could become deadly if mastered correctly.

In case of Bijan, it was simple. Ground or earth manipulation. From what she heard, it was also most common elemental magic. But through sheer will, Bijan was able to advance it to the next level, even forming it around his body to create a sturdy armour.

If not for Noah finding out minor weakness nland exploiting it, he might truly lose to him in a headon fight.

But even going through her observations, she could understand which catagory Noah's power belonged to. Not only he had immense physical strength to match Bijan but he also matched Cyra's speed.

If that wasn't enough, he could also heal much faster than other people showing he had a special body capable of enough durability to drag itself from jaws of death.

Just remembering his back full of arrows, she felt chills down her spine. He should never have survived that ordeal but not only he recovered but was good as new within a week!

His other power of conjuring things was even more unbelievable. She had heard rumours about sorcerers that were blessed to hold pocket space which was large enough to store a house. She firmly believed he had this power and was using his stashed weapon which he would bring out when he needed them.

She could only go with this explanation, summoning magic was not a thing in this world so she could never thought of it.

The problem lies with him being holder of two different unique abilities. She had never heard of it as no one could be able to house two different types of magic powers.

But she couldn't ignore it seeing so many evidence in front of her. How was that possible, she didn't know which was why she was hesitating a lot.

She also felt like Noah was genuine when he protected the village from Sablethorn army. If he needed fame or money, he could work for a noble.

With how powerful he was, it was easy to become as famous as flame emperor, he might also push past him because he was still young compared to the old man.

With so much doubt she didn't know what to do, she sat beside her father urgently needed him to make a decision. She knew everyone's fate rested on her shoulders.

With how much her people suffered these past few days, she knew everyone's patience was running thin.

If they were to face such constant existential threat, many people would start to leave this tiny village to find a better life. Who would want to suffer everyday just to barely survive in the middle of the woods?

With a complicated expression, she looked at her father and prayed for him to wake up. Alastair's injuries were serious, to protect his companions, he shielded them from a hail of bullets.

Although round with less penetrating power, a lot of them was enough to bring down Alastair who used to be a famous knight commander.

But what really brought him down was swift and heavy, with a thunderous roar it smashed his iron shield like paper colliding directly to his chest instantly incapacitating him.

It was the same cannon that Noah and his team faced.
