Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 352 Harder Than Most

Alix wondered why Adora was staring at him and he approached her and she looked at him as a smirk appeared on his face then he leaned in closer and her cheeks flushed as she pulled back at little and he scoffed.

"Wh- What are you doing?" she asked.

"I should be the one asking you that," he responded as she lowered her head and he sighed before patting her on the shoulder.

"Go to sleep, we have a lot to do tomorrow," he said and she scoffed.

"I don't want to sleep, good night," she replied as she walked away.

"She is a confusing being, saying she doesn't want to sleep, then saying good night and leaving, ugh..." Alix muttered before going to his room and locking the door, after which he lay back on his bed and looked up at the ceiling, thinking about what he saw in the guy's memories and wondering how that would help them in their fight.

A lot of things crossed Alix's mind that night but he knew that he was not going to get any answer like that and decided to wait while honing his skills.

Alix got out of bed and went to freshen up and when he was finished, he got back into bed and a little while after he fell asleep.

When Alix awoke the next morning, he stretched and sighed before getting out of bed and going about his normal morning routine.

When he finished, he left his room and went to the living room where he saw some of the others arriving at the same time and they smiled at him.

"Good morning guys," he said.

"Good morning, Alix," they replied as they sat down and Ifrit stretched off before yawning and they looked at each other.

"Are you still sleepy, Ifrit?" Alix asked and Ifrit glanced at him.

"Yes, I really am today, Alix," he responded and Alix smiled.

"Then go and relax if you need to or have a cup of hot coffee, whichever one works for you," Alix said and Ifrit smiled before exhaling deeply.

"I will have the cup of coffee, I have no intention of going to sleep now," he replied with a gentle smile and Kyllan patted him on the shoulder.

"Uh... Where is Adora? Is she not up yet?" Yan asked and Nina glanced at him.

"She is probably asleep, too tired to get up," Nina responded.

"Well, could be, we've been on the move for a while now, but we still have a lot more things to figure out if we're going to catch up with these guys, we've got to give it our all, got it, guys?" Alix asked, while Aerav and the others smiled at him.

"Don't worry, Alix, we haven't improved our abilities to not give it our all, we will try as hard as we can to help in any way we can, and how is your training going?" Alix sighed after Aerav asked.

"Well, for one I am gaining more control, I have never had this much and since I found a few new things that I can do, I am currently in the process of mastering them, how are things going with you guys?" he asked.

"Glad you know yours is doing well and we are also glad you asked, yes there are times when we struggle but we are getting there," Ayden responded.

"You don't have to overdo, you guys will master your abilities soon enough," Alix said as Adora approached them and they looked at her.

"Good morning," she said after sitting down.

"Good morning," they replied.

"Did you get enough sleep?" Alix inquired, and Adora smiled as she looked at him.

"I think I did and did not, both," she replied, and he sighed as she exhaled deeply before bracing her head against the couch and looking at Alix with a smile on her face and his eyes narrowed.

"What is it?" she inquired.

"You're acting strange," he replied and she chuckled.

"No, I am not, I am still a bit tired, also, I need to ask about the line yet, we have so much to do," she said and Ifrit sighed.

"Adora, whoever their leader is, he knows most things about our lives, he also knows the past, it's possible that he is from the time of the war," Ifrit replied.

"That's possible; he could have been living in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to reveal his plans, or he could be someone new who is connected to the past in a way we don't know about as yet," Alix said.

"Both of you are correct; it could be either one, but what we need right now is the correct answer, which I doubt we will find anytime soon without proper clues," Adora replied.

"After all, the truth can be hidden in more than one way, and you won't know which one is real unless you have some sort of proof, valid proof, am I right?" Alix asked, and Adora nodded.

"Yes, you are more than right, Alix, this was never easy and it's not going to get easier overnight, and if it does, know that it's a trap," Adora responded, and they smiled at her.

"Yeah, we get it, this is going to be harder than most of the missions you or the others have ever been on, and that's understandable given that this is the one that not only threatens our lives but everyone else's, also it's getting really late and now I am hungry," Alix said, and Adora smiled at him before sighing, feeling her body in a little pain.

After a while, they brought out food and divided it among themselves before beginning to eat their breakfast in order to begin pin pointing the enemy's main base or anything concerning their plans.

While eating, Alix recalled what the enemies minions told them about what they know and he began thinking about the lines and how what they said about merging the crystal and that's when he got an idea as to what to do that could help them get an idea as to what they were talking about.
