Chapter [321] Obelisk(3)

"Was it her?"

Asked Oliver, as he noticed Arken's silence when he entered the cave. He was busy treating Alex and Lucas. Alan had already recovered and was meditating in the corner, using his [Breath of the Supreme Frost dragon] carefully. Thanks to him, the temperature of the cave was quite cool. Alexander and Lucas were still in bad condition, Only Olivia and Alan were ok.

"..."

Arken's silence confirmed it. Oliver was right. He had met Morgana Cadevrere. The leader of Obelisk, and Harrison's Rival.

"..."

Oliver also became silent. Olivia noticed the silence of the two and could bear it no longer.

"May I ask who that person is?"

Morgana was not well known to the general public, only the bigshots knew her. Oliver had a complex expression on her face when his granddaughter asked that question, Arken meanwhile cleaned his berserker blade in silence.

"She was a former student of s.h.i.+eld once, Of Harrison's generation."

Oliver began to explain. A mix of emotions came back up.

"She was once my disciple, along with Harrison, She was also his rival."

"The rival of the rank 1?"

Olivia asked, curious. Alan also listened closely from his corner.

"Yes, They were two sides of a coin. Both Morgana and Harrison were the best of the best. Harrison took more of an interest in robotics, But Morgana took an interest in biological enhancements and creatures. At first, she kept it to monsters so it was okay but"

"She messed with humans?"

Interrupted Alan from the corner. Oliver had a sorrowful look on his face.

"Yes, She messed with humans. She mixed Human and Monster body parts together."

"But that should have been okay though? Some Awakened still exist which use dead corpses and tra-"

"They were alive."

Oliver interrupted Olivia. Alan and Olivia raised their brows.

"It was an addictionNo, an Obsession."

"She was obsessed with creating more and more chimeras, no matter what it took. She even used Students of s.h.i.+eldand that was the last straw for me. I expelled her after that, making sure to destroy every chimera and Save all I could. Harrison also tried to convince herBut she didnt listen."

Explained Oliver. Arken remains focused on cleaning his Swordeven though it was already spotless.

"I kept an eye on her afterward, ready to take drastic measures if she went overboard but"

"She colluded with demons and escaped to this darned continent."

Arken interrupted.

"Yes"

Oliver agreed. He regretted his mistake of not paying too much attention badly. If he had, maybe Humanity would have had a better chance against the Demons. The Obelisk would not have gotten so powerful.

"Her Unique skill is dangerous. If any of you meet her, Run. She has a scar on her face and blood-red hair and eyes."

Arken warned.

"A Unique skill?"

Alan asked this time. Curious. He had heard about what a unique skill wasand thought he had remembered something about it but maybe he was wrong? His memory was hazy these days

"An Extremely powerful skill given to only one person. It aligns with their attributes and characteristics and grants immense power. However, it is difficult to acquire one. The Conditions are unknown and almost impossible in most cases."

Alan's interest was peaked at Oliver's explanation. Olivia as well.

"Her Unique skill is Biokenisis. The power to control biology."

"Isn'tthat too broken?" Alan questioned.

"It is, which is why Run At Sight."

Alan and Olivia took mental notes.

"She joined hands with demons and was responsible for Arken's defeat by the Demons. She messed with that unique state of his he calls enlightenment. If I recall correctly, it was orchestrated by an Archduke. And duke and marquis ranked demons ambushed Arken, he would have defeated them normally but Morgana used her Biokenesis to mess with him."

"She had a child with that Archduke."

Oliver was flabbergasted when he heard Arken.

"...what?"

He questioned, still stunned.

"She had a child with him, Named Lilith. She should be about your age OliviaShe's a striking resemblance to Morgana when she was young. And there was a weird aura of death around her."

"Why did they approach you?"

Questioned Oliver, He was not going to ask previously but now the situation had become dire.

"About this."

Arken threw the vial containing the bloodline to Oliver, Who caught it and inspected it.

[Item: Bottle containing the Bloodline of the Mist hunting Bladewolf

Rank: SS+

DESCRIPTION: A bottle containing the Bloodline of the SSS rank beast Mist Hunting Bladewolf. Upon accepting the bloodline, it will integrate itself into the user. It will grant the user the abilities of the Mist Blade Wolf.]

"Hmmm" Oliver inspected it carefully.

"Excuse me, but Master Arken, If she came with just her child then why did you not end her there? If she only attacked you when she was with other demons before and ambushed youIt should have been easy for you to kill her and her child."

"The Child's eyes looked empty."

Arken put his large sword on his shoulder.

"She had never received any love from that father of hers, If I killed her mother, who at least cared for her somehow in front of her eyesI would not be able to bear it."

He answered Olivia.

"ButShe's a worldwide criminal! Her child is born from an Archdukeand her mother-"

"If the sins of the parent pa.s.sed onto their children, no one is free from sin."

He interrupted her. Alan and Oliver remained quiet. Alan returned to meditating.

"I just didnt feel good about doing that."

He was a man of morals and kindness. But there also seemed to be a deep story behind it. A story Arken didnt share.

"You guy's go sleep, I'll take the watch."

He offered, and adamantly sat down in front of the cave, not taking any feedback.

To Alan, His back lookedsad.
