Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 178 Another Mark

"Be careful," Zavis said as the dragon flew up to her and she grabbed onto its back.

"Thank you, Jade," she said and Alix smiled, feeling a bit at ease as the dragon brought her back down and she patted her on the head.

"You are a great dragon girl," she said when she remembered Vellon and sighed.

"Well, Jade, we are going inside now, good night," Adora said.

"Good night, princess, I hope you sleep well," the dragon replied before leaving, and she returned her gaze to the others as Cameron and Ayden began to yawn and they all went back into the castle.

"Well, guys, I think I am going to call it a night; you should all get some sleep and wake up whenever you want tomorrow," Adora said.

"Sounds good to me," Alix replied to which she smiled

"Me too, I need to sleep right now," Ayden admitted.

"Then it's settled, good night," Adora said.

"Good night," they said, and she went to her room, while the others went to theirs.

After Adora went to her room, she locked the door, took her clothes off, and went to freshen up while Alix sat on his bed and sighed, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"Damn it, I think I pushed it during that match; I wonder what else my powers can do?" He asked as he fell asleep on the bed and began seeing images of a woman, but this time there was also a man whose face he couldn't see.

"W- Who are you guys?" he asked as he flung up from his sleep and sighed.

"I hate this," he said then took his shirt off and went to freshen up, but while doing so a mark appeared on his chest, spreading onto his neck and his eyes widened as he stared at it.

"What the hell is this now? This is complicated," he muttered deciding to finish taking his bath and then take care of the mark.

A little while after Alix finished taking his bath, he changed into a pants and was about to put on a vest, then looked at the mark and gnashed his teeth, wondering what it was but even the scroll didn't know the answer to his body and he knew that.

"She has the answer to these things, I don't want to be a nuisance," Alix said as he placed a vest on, grabbed his phone, then left his room and went to Adora's where he knocked on the door upon arrival.

"Adora," he called, and she opened the door and peeked out, only to see him standing before her.

"Alix," she said.

"May I come in?" he inquired.

"Sure," she replied as she stepped aside and he entered her room, after which she locked the door.

"What brings you here?" she asked as he stared at her in her strap, long, light green nightgown which showed her body curves and her hair was down.

"Not used to seeing my face?" she asked.

"That's not it; I wanted to ask or more like show you something," he replied.

"Hmm, okay sit," she said as he sat on the bed and she sat on the couch while combing her hair.

"There is a new mark," he said.

"Show me," she replied and he took his vest off, then she sighed as she got up and went over to him.

"I see, this one is different, they are going according to your powers, marks of your evolution, they will disappear, they will reappear whenever you use a powerful skill from your powers," she said as her hair blew in his face and he gently held it back.

Sorry, they are long," she said.

"That's fine, they suit you," he said, smiling slightly.

"You know, that could be one of the nicest things you have ever said to me since you joined us," she said as he looked at her then scoffed.

"You might be right about that, I think that might be the nicest thing I have ever said, whatever, so where are we headed to after this?" he asked as his eyes started closing.

"We will get the location soon, but for now, as long as we are here, I would like you all to be cautious because I have a feeling more trouble is on its way, and I am usually right," she replied.

"I know you are, but we are in no position to fight," he admitted.

"You won't have to because Kyris and the others are here, and I am pretty sure I can handle things on my own," she replied.

"How strong are you?" he inquired.

"Strong enough, don't worry, you guys are all strong and capable, but I am confident that if anything really bad happens and you guys are unable to fight, I will be able to protect all of you," she replied as he stared at her and sighed.

"They all admire you, and I don't blame them; I guess it's worth it," he said, and her eyes shined as she stared at him.

"You look a bit sleepy there Alix, maybe it's time you get some sleep, I don't want you collapsing on me now," she replied as he got up and noticed the mark disappearing them smiled.

"It's fine, I will head back to my room now, good night Adora," he said as he was about to leave and nearly fell, but she caught him and sat him down on the bed, then placed him to lay back, lifted his head up, putting her soft pillow for him to sleep on.

"You are welcome to stay," she said.

"Are you sure?" he muttered.

"Yeah, I am, go to sleep Alix, sweet dreams," she said and he smiled, then slept away immediately and she covered him with her blanket then looked outside.

"The night is a bit calm," she said while opening the seal and its shadow appeared beside her and she smiled.

"How did the finals go?" it asked.

"We won," she revealed.
