With a snap of Zuxe's finger,the bolt dashed forward with the speed of light,cutting through the darkness with devastating precision,faster than any reaction could follow.
Those creatures standing in a straight line were pierced through in an instant,without slowing it pierced through hundreds more.
In a blink the line of creature was gone,vaporized-no movements of impact just an overwhelming flash.
Without losing it momentum it continued its trajectory,till it was not visible to him.
He stood there for a moment without saying anything,then turned towards Elysia.
"Could you tell me what time it is?" his face turned pale with every passing second.
Elysia titled her head in confusion,before speaking.
"Its already past 12 A.M...why do you ask?"
"Oh~yo,you are right...huhu...it must be past 12 A.M....huhuhu" Zuxe walked towards her, unreasonably laughing in between.
"Hey~why are you laughing,its creeping me out" Shaking his body by his shoulders,she inquired.
"Huhu...don't you know that...huhuhu...I am not allowed to move out my room without permission* Zuxe told her,his eyes felt like a empty void,and his tone felt robotic.
"No I don't...but what that has to do with you?"
"Y-you don't know that bitch...Mira is her name...by now she should have already figured out that I am not in my room" His voice trembled in fear,as he continued to speak.
"L-lift your dimension f-fast" He urged,as he took on a running stance.
"Don't hurry,calm down...take me with you" Elysia reassured him,after lifting her dimension,pulling them back to reality.
Zuxe had completely forgotten that he came outside his room,stealing eyes from his maid,Mira.
He thought that he would come back as soon as possible if he didn't found Cyrus anywhere.
No.
He was planning to come fast even if he met his younger brother Cyrus.
He never thought that he would meet the Arcane guardian in any situation.
Here he was,spending hours of time with her without realzing his priorities.
But he was not idiot,as soon as he realized,the plan was already formulated in his mind.
Although its chances to succeed were probably high,it would raise suspicion.
But suspicion was least of his worries.
Setting the thoughts aside,he proceeded to bring his plan into motion,doing some emotional acting to make her come with him.
Elysia using one of her Soul esssence technique opened a spiral shaped rift in front of them,although he wasn't able to pay attention to the name or incantation of the technique.
Bring back memories.
They both entered the rift.
Zuxe thought that it was teleportation technique,but he wasn't sure as he hadn't seen that in the game.
It was infact a teleportation technique,but not exactly teleportation.
Better to say displacement.
Because as they entered the rift,they didn't directly arrived at Zuxe's room.
Instead,they exited it in a moment,just like passing through a metal detector or body scanner,and remained still where they were.
"Elysia...wasn't that a teleportation technique?but I think it didn't work!" Zuxe exclaimed,confusion visible on his face.
She let out a girl before responding.
"Hehehe~you knows a lot about Soul essence techniques.Well...thid technique work in two phases,or you can say it has two techniques constituted as one.
In phase one this technique will work to point out the coordinates of the place i am thinking about as long as it is clear,but since I hadn't seen your room,I didn't thought of anything"
Zuxe nodded in amusement as she continued.
"I assumed that you were probably thinking about your room given how worried you were,allowing the technique to point out the coordinates of the place you were thinking about.
Then it would find out any object within ten-metre radius equal to our masses,also having some Soul essence"
Before she could speaker more,a dense obsidian colour cloud enveloped them,removing any traces of their presence until now,leaving a giant boulder in their Wakes.

"After scanning of that object is completed,we would be displaced by its coordinates" Elysia competed her words,looking towards Zuxe to confirm the location.
Zuxe nodded,bolting towards his room from his courtyard like a child.
Elysia followed suit,trying to remember when was the last time anyone was given that room.
They both entered the room,Elysia sat on the bed,while Zuxe kneeled down to hide his cloak under the bed.
"Do you really think you can hide it there?"
Elysia inquired,her gaze never leaving the art of hiding being executed in front of her.
"No I am not trying to hide it,it's just better than nothing", He replied,trying to push the cloak at the corners of the bed.
"Hey~Your room seems quite simple, where do you keep your weapons,potions and everything else?"
Elysia addressed,motioning him to sit beside her after he was done with his work.
"Yes...because I don't have any of them...I never got any from the clan" He remarked,sitting beside her,while staring at his room like a complete stranger.
"Why don't you ask them to provide you?" Elysia inquired, completelt annoyed by the clan's behaviour.
"I don't like to ask them for anything ,if they don't want to give...and even if I ask there is a chance that they would reject"
For a moment the room fell silent,Elysia was the one to take the initiative to break it.
"Where is she?" Elysia inquired,as she somehow summoned a water bottle in her hand,passing it to Zuxe.
Without saying a word,he took the bottle from her hands,twisting its cap gulped down the water.
.
Gulp.Gulp.Gulp.
.
"By now she should have detected my presence,must be coming here running as fast as possible"
Zuxe commented,looking towards the door of his room's entrance

Thud.thud.Thud.
