I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot Chapter 987: 16.33 First Red Star - New Instructor

Chapter 987: 16.33 First Red Star - New Instructor

In the Templar Temple, Pope's Chamber...

Cardinal Lemuel and Cardinal Darius escorted their barely alive Pope back to the Templar Temple after being expelled from the Genus Academy. Yet, the immediate Resurrection was useless since Kenan Light was not dead at all. They can only employ the Temple's highest healing pool to cure their Pope, but even with the aid of rare and valuable resources like the Healing Pool, the Pope's treatment is continuing and incredibly sluggish.

"Who the heck is that instructor!? How can he be that... Unparalleled!? He treated us like children! Are we that weak in his eyes!?" Cardinal Darius said.

"What can we do? Even His Holiness ended up almost dead in such a situation. Don't be foolish and think of beginning a war against that individual. We can't move foolishly right now that the Pope is out of commission." Cardinal Lemuel said.

"I know... I just... I simply can't believe it," Cardinal Darius remarked. "How can such a monster exist? He feels more powerful than the Pope and is even stronger than the Progenitor of Blood!"

"Plus, his true ident.i.ty is unknown, and we are the first to break the laws in that Neutral Zone. Seeking vengeance at this point is just seeking death. We will wait for His Holiness to recover. Tell the others not to be more reckless," Cardinal Lemuel said while ordering one of the Archbishops who was also present in the Chamber.

"Let's tighten up the security in this area, at least until the Pope wakes up," Cardinal Darius said.

On the other hand, due to instructions to increase the number of personnel patrolling the Pope's chamber, other portions of the Templar Temple lost a few guards, particularly the deep subterranean dungeons under the Temple where traitors and captives were imprisoned.

A man with long black hair with gold highlights and a naked chest was imprisoned in the lowest Water Dungeon. His features were more developed and polished than Esther Dawn's, indicating that they are related by blood just by their comparable look. He appeared to be in his early forties. What surprised me was how much he sort of resembles the current Pope.

Half of his body was currently submerged in the holy water pond, and he appeared forlorn, his eyes closed as if asleep, when suddenly his almond-shaped eyes opened, displaying purple irises with gold rims. His cave was a water prison, as well as the pool underneath him, filled with light components. Obviously, the environment was taking it away from him, his strength, and the light element inside his body. Luciel Dawn, the previous Cardinal, was the guy in question. Amber and Esther Dawn's father.

After Instructor Skoll had driven out the Pope that night, things had been calm at Genus Academy. Accidents throughout the region had decreased, and each faction had recently been exceptionally tranquil. Luther D'Arcy's teaching term was over in less than a month. Those who had been suspended had returned to cla.s.s, and those who had been hurt had also been cured.

The Cla.s.sroom of the Elite Cla.s.s...

There has been a lot of news flowing throughout Genus Academy. Most of it had Instructor Skoll as the main topic, but it is just a warning to everyone in the Academy's region. While waiting for their instructor, Asher Light unexpectedly confronted Conri Lycaon, especially after learning that he had become Amber Dawn's friend.

"Conri Lycaon, keep away from Amber Dawn," Asher Light advised.

"In what capacity are you asking me? An acquaintance? A friend? You are neither her family nor her lover. You had no right to ask me to stay away. Especially since she bears the same insignia as mine. It's the unchanged rule in our tribe. The bearer of Imprint Crest which is shared with the werewolf king cannot be harmed by our race. I can kill you multiple times however I want but... Me, hurting her is impossible." Conri Lycaon said.

When his fury subsided, Asher Light discovered something else: "Do you not love her?" he asked.

"I am not like you. The one I care about always exists in the past, never in the present. I will protect her and that's all," Conri Lycaon remarked, without explaining what his term meant.

After abruptly stopping their talk, he opted to disregard Asher Light.

The Holy Son no longer asked for a conflict and sat down, gazing at Conri Lycaon as if he couldn't comprehend what he was saying. Yet, he was familiar with a large number of possession instances. It is a condition in which one soul takes over the recently deceased body of another. But, according to the Bible, those who committed such acts were usually devils. Yet that was all he received after processing the secret meaning of Conri Lycaon's remarks.

Athan Vladimir, a man who had remained peaceful after his clan had been almost totally uprooted, was silently studying the two heirs of the two major factions away from the Blood Race in the corner of the room. The Blood Race has yet to find the appropriate successor to take his place. There is just no one who can take his place. The Progenitor only recognizes one pureblood, Duke Luther D'Arcy, but he hasn't formed kin since becoming a vampire. In their race, he is the only individual with the surname D'Arcy.

The next in line would be the n.o.bles but even the n.o.bles were split into rankings. The Earl Cla.s.s is headed by Thana Daybreak and Elena Martel. The Viscount Cla.s.s Alaric Blade and Selena Orpheus. Though the former was out for a spying mission while the latter was also a way to gather information. There are also the Baron Cla.s.s Vampire Lords Lethia Keiran, Raul Ceridwen, and Lilith Zane. But obviously, they don't have a purer bloodline than the rest.

Since the duke had no heirs. Thana Dawn and Elena Martel would be the next in line. The former was bereaved and lived alone. She doesn't even have any servants on her side and lives alone in her clan mansion. Elena Martel, on the other hand, had a plethora of spouses and children. Yet none of them were good enough to catch the attention of the Duke, let alone the Progenitor. They were used to exploiting their position of authority. 'Fear the strong and crush the weak,' was their slogan. Even after losing his status as heir, Athan Vladimir's power had simply lost the capacity to suppress lineage. In short, he could no longer inhibit the n.o.bles with a blood aura.

Athan Vladimir felt more liberated having abandoned his role as an heir. His grandpa and father, who were all under monitoring, ultimately ceased troubling the younger family once his great-grandfather died. Even the other n.o.bility were oppressed by the duke and were unable to attack Athan Vladimir. Everyone in the Blood Race now saw him as a waste who had lost his reign.

Athan Vladimir appears carefree in comparison to Asher Light and Conri Lycaon since he has no duty on his shoulders. While under their care, he may enjoy the calm moments at Genus Academy. He may take his time deciding what he wants to accomplish in the future. His gaze was drawn to the two heirs of the other groups, and he smirked as he fiddled with his phone.

The cla.s.s bell began to ring, and as predicted, Teacher Skoll returned, but this time he was followed by someone other than Luther D'Arcy. Instead, it was a fresh face, albeit a youthful one. As they noticed the young priest coming behind their instructor, only Asher Light and Esther Dawn immediately stood up. Skoll ignored the students' emotions and proceeded to the platform.

"Good Afternoon, Students. It's been a long time since we met. A month had pa.s.sed so your Instructor Luther would have to take a break. A new instructor would oversee you for the next month," Instructor Skoll remarked, turning his attention to the young Priest behind him.

"The rest is in your hands. I shall now withdraw."

Fenrir Skoll left after delegating authority to the students of the young priest who volunteered to teach the Elite Cla.s.s. This individual must have made up his mind when Fenrir Skoll deposed the inc.u.mbent Pope and publicly expressed his contempt for him. He's certainly come with a purpose. That is, to train the new successor he had selected to succeed the avaricious Pope Kenan Light.

"h.e.l.lo, Everyone! My name is Keylan, and I am the priest of the only chapel within the Genus Academy. I am a light priest who is not affiliated with any faction other than the Academy, and I am here to teach everyone about elemental power and how to use it. I'm sure each faction knows what Elements are. This old man... Cough! This teacher will help you further increase your control, accuracy, and strength for the entire month."

Athan Vladimir and Conri Lycaon's thinking, 'A Holy Priest from Genus Academy!? Is he, like the rest of our instructors, a monster as well?'

"Before we begin with practical training in the field, we will start with the foundations of body and spirit. Okay, let's start the lesson." Keylan Light explained. "As you all know, there is what we call affinity, and it changes not only between races but also between individuals."

"The Human Race had great compatibility with the main elements: fire, water, wind, and earth. They are all capable of wielding any of these elements, but to call them experts on it, there are only a few who exist; there are also people who are capable of using light and dark elements; almost everyone from the Templar Temple is capable of using light elements."

"First, they must do so in order to join the faction, and second, they must do so in order to represent their place. Humans are the most compatible of all elements, but they are only capable of mastering one or two elements in their lives. However, the human bloodline is the easiest to mix with other races, which increases their integration with special elements like dark, ice, and thunder."

Several students in the cla.s.s felt uneasy when the scenario of the human species falling in love with another race was highlighted. The majority of such existences were deemed forbidden and were not acknowledged by any of the three factions, making them heretics.

"Let's talk about the Fenrir Tribe. Since the origins of the Werewolves were a beast, they had more compatibility with nature. Wolves are well known for their speed and strength. So the elements they are best at are wind and earth. These two elements are most suitable for the Werewolf race. But in some strange cases where the Fenrir Tribe's blood is mixed with human blood. These people were called a mixed breed."

When the mixed breed was mentioned, several werewolf students scoffed. They aren't very concerned with mixing blood, but as the relations.h.i.+p between the three races has deteriorated, mingling blood has become the worst possible outcome. Because such a partners.h.i.+p has both advantages and disadvantages.

The other students of different races all a.s.sumed Keylan Light would be biased against his own race. At the Templar Temple, priests were the most welcome, and most humans dream of entering it. The students a.s.sumed that Instructor Keylan would be like the other human priests who despised the other races. But they were wrong, he treated each student the same and not even a hint of disdain can be seen in his eyes. Moreover, he mentioned mixing bloodlines for all races and the scenarios including the disadvantages and advantages of such mixed blood.
