Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 146 Manipulator

"If you are going to come at me, come with everything you have got, I will kill you," Adora said as the guy's body vanished and her eyes began to glow purple as she looked around her.

"He can use shadows to his advantage, he is dangerous," Alix said, and as the shadow appeared behind Adora and was about to attack her, she grabbed onto it and yanked him out.

"Your attacks are weak against me; people like you have no chance against me," she said, and he vanished, only to reappear beside Vellon.

"What kind of abilities does she have?" the man inquired as he drew his sword.

"Take out the princess," the guy ordered and Vellon sighed.

"I have a feeling we might regret doing that," Vellon said.

"It doesn't matter, I would like to see how many of us she can take out at once," he replied as Adora looked at Zavis and Alix, knowing they were trying to get to him and she had no intention of letting them.

"Take Zavis back to the castle," Adora instructed.

"She only says things like that when there is a real threat that might even be bad for her," Yan said.

"We are not going anywhere Adora," Kyris said as his eyes glowed blue and she scoffed.

"You guys are very stubborn, and I believe you should listen to her," Vellon said.

"Shut up, scum," Nina said and Vellon scoffed.

"Ah, she's a succubus," the other guy said, his gaze fixed on Nina, whose eyes began to glow red.

"I will rip your eyes out if you don't take them off of her," Yan said as he stood before Nina and Alix smirked as he sensed the guy's darkness behind him and pushed Zavis out of the way before stabbing the shadow with his sword and the guy grinned.

"He will be great for our master, I suspected something was wrong with you, sensing me faster than the others, what kind of connection do you two have, your highness?" the guy asked and Adora clenched her fists then Alix sighed noticing they were up to something.

'Thye feel threatened by the princess, I wonder how powerful she might truly be, even Vellon doesn't know, this is not a real fight, she is keeping us for the real fight and I bet she won't show even half of her powers here, she will do enough to get rid of them for tonight,' Alix thought.

"What are you guys up to? You are not serious about fighting," Alix said.

"Are you okay with defending yourself, Zavis?" Adora inquired.

"He can't, even if he wanted to, Vellon is more than enough to take all of your friends, and we will get our hands on your precious cousin," the guy said, irritably.

"Having that much faith in you means you have grown more powerful, I am not going to stop you Vellon, if you get out of hand I'll kill you, believe me, it won't be an easy death either," she said as the guys in the hoods flew up in the air forming a circle.

"What are they up to?" Eliza asked, drawing her swords, and a barrier appeared in front of Kyris and the others, leaving Adora, Alix, and Zavis in the open.

"You are a problem, your highness, we just have to keep you out of our way so we can get to them, your student here will be easily taken care of," the guy said as a blue light released from the guy's in the air bodies and a formation formed under her feet.

"I see," Adora said as she tried to move but couldn't.

'I don't want Alix using his powers here and now, they will suspect something, damn it,' Adora thought while looking back at Alix as Kyris's staff appeared in his hand.

"Why is she staring at me like that? I can beat him, but her eyes are screaming at me not to move "Alix mumbled, then sighed, and Zavis closed his eyes as his body began to glow.

"Kyris, please don't get involved," Adora said as he tapped the bottom of his staff on the ground, and Adora smirked as cracks appeared in the formation beneath her feet.

"I will come with you if you don't hurt her," Zavis said, and Adora's body began to glow bright blue as the guy rushed toward Zavis but Adora broke free from the formation, and just as he was about to grab the boy, she slashed him across the arm with her sword, and he kicked her into a building as a red light smoke like substance started releasing from his wound.

"What is that sword? You bitch, I will kill you," he shouted and a barrier formed around Alix and Zavis as Adora got back up.

"I'd like to see you try," she said as he rushed toward her with dark whips forming from his arms, and her eyes widened as Vellon clenched his fists and turned away as one of the whips slashed Adora's hand by the side, and Alix sighed, wanting to help but clearly understanding that Adora didn't want any of them to get involved just yet.

"I get it now, you manipulate darkness to your will," Adora explained as she stood in one place and the darkness formed a net above her, but as it fell, she vanished and reappeared behind the guy, and one of his whips grabbed her feet, pinning her down, and a few others attached themselves to his sword causing it to turn black.

"He is strong, that is a dangerous ability he has there," Kyris said as the whip began to burn Adora's leg and Alix clenched his fists, but Adora smiled as a few whips formed dark snakes and attached themselves to the rest of her body.

"Damn, shouldn't you guys help her?" the queen asked and Zavis's eyes trembled.

"That will hold you, and I know it's causing serious pain; you must be used to pain to not react in a truly horrifying way," the guy said as he walked away from Adora, and Vellon averted his gaze.
