After a sudden pressure dropped on Keiran. He felt his fist slowed down and it was having trouble moving forward. Realization dawned on him as his thoughts processed at a full speed.
'So he has powers related to gravity.... Finally I can prepare for countering it. No wonder Aiden has space abilities. The power of space is indirectly related to the gravitation itself. He is only using two times the gravity, yet I am slowed to this extent. I wonder what's the extent of his powers .'
He gazed at the figure of his 'father', his eyes turned cold while thinking.
'But you won't be able to protect him with only that much gravity.'
In an instant his white Ether flared focusing on his arms, The muscles on his arms contracted as his veins bulge making the arm look ripped.
His attack gained its lost momentum and even exceeded the previous speed level.
Under the astonished eyes of Arion and the rest Keiran fist connected with Adam's head and his head exploded like a balloon bursting.
Bits of his flesh flew and spread across the room, dying the floor red with his blood.
As the blood rained down on the floor, one of the eyes of their teacher rolled towards Luna and as if by the work of fate, the other one rolled toward Erla.
[ System Notification.
First Human Kill: Task Completed
Unlocking Perks ]
[ Host has gained full access and new functions and features are now available.]
System's notifications rang in the boy's head which was also heard by his twin sister.
Ignoring the notifications for now he gazed at the rest of the people present in the room looking at him in shock.
His eyes scanned through them with coldness, which increased when it landed on the green haired woman.
Luna looked at the eye in front of her with disgust and crushed it under her feet while Erla kept looking at her son.
There was not a single sense of happiness and accomplishment when she gazed into her son's cold eyes.
She felt hollow inside. She could not comprehend what was going on but she knew she felt one thing, a feeling she felt only once before, the feeling that she lost something precious to her once again.
Arion's eyes turned wide in astonishment.
Keiran's power with and without ether was not something a normal person can achieve. The fact that he went past twice the gravity with that ease was already shocking for a new awakener.
Arion's shock turned into anger as he increased the Pressure on Keiran by twofold, making him rooted to the ground.
" I told you to stop, yet you ignored my warnings and Killed him."
Ignoring his father's words the boy looked towards Luna who was looking at Arion with coldness, seeing her not under any graviton field, he sighed in relief.
Turning back to look in the rage filled eyes, he could sense there was a calculative approach hidden in them.
" He said he came here to rape Luna so i killed what else is there."
Hearing those words made the six heads of the noble families Look at the dead man with a weird look.who is that dumb to attack the royal family while they are in the castles.
" We will talk about this in detail tomorrow and you will be receiving punishment accordingly. Now, tell me what you were doing here? what happened to the light that just fell?"
Arion asked the main question he wanted to ask, he never cared about the life of a low level person even though they were from a noble family they couldn't compare to the royal family.
"We just came here to spend some time and suddenly gained our Ether powers. There was no light."
Keiran hearing those words asked in a genuine puzzled tone. He did not hide anything and spoke while hiding some minor details.
" Are you saying that no light came inside the hall? or were you just too busy to even see a light?" This time Duke smith asked the question without any politeness.
" Don't know, don't care." Keiran replied back in a similar tone he was spoken to.
"We will talk about this tomorrow and we need to end the banquet now. Guards" as he spoke two guards appeared from who knows where and kneeled on one knee in front of their king.
He swiftly ignored the topic about them being awakened as he wanted to hear about their powers first and then decide whether to tell others about them or not.
" Take away his body and I want every detail about what happened here, by tomorrow." His cold and commanding voice made them nod as they complied with his demands.
He took away the pressure he had released on the boy making him sigh in relief.
Luna moved closer to him and gave him her body as a support to lean on. Accepting the gesture, Keiran put his arms around her shoulder to lean on while she held on his waist,
The head of the smith family narrowed his eyes as he gazed at them with a contemplating look. He turned to look at Arion and the queens as he spoke
"I will take my leave, your majesty, I hope you can think about the matters I have proposed to you before." He turned to look at the twins and continued " congratulation on your awakening your highness Keiran and your highness Luna."
Arion nodded showing his agreement as the duke took his leave, the rest also followed his lead but not before casting another glance at the twins.
After only the royal family was left there alone, Arion turned back to the twins with a serious look on his face and started speaking in an equally serious voice.
"Both of you have awakened?" Keiran, hearing those words, looked at him. As was standing on sheer will power and Luna' support. Seeing the boy's state ached Seraphina's heart as she also decided to help the boy.
" Yes, we did awaken the Ether powers." hearing Luna's words made Arion's expression loosen a little. " So what are your powers?"
" We can now…."
