Chapter 428: Runemaster

"I should check out what's happening" After traveling for an hour, he

eventually decided to send spyders throughout the train.

"Open the door," Michael said to Nightmare who was watching the outside

with his nose pressed against the window. Nightmare ew towards the

doorknob and opened the door by twisting the knop using both of his hands.

Michael sent several spyders through the door. Nightmare kept watching the

spyders crawling out the door and activating their camouage to blend in with

the environment,

The corridor was pretty much empty except for a few youngsters who put their

heads out the door to look at the corridor as though they were expecting

someone.

Michael was watching everything with his eyes closed. The feeds were running

in his mind. Although it was stressful to watch them in his mind, he was not in

the situation to set up mirrors or contact Azazel.

Speaking of Azazel, Michael tried to establish a connection with his demon

butler but he was unable to connect with him. It didn't come as a surprise to

Michael as his earpieces lacked the power to enable him to communicate

between realms.

The spyders he sent towards the front of the train returned nothing. However,

the ones that went on the other side showed him something interesting. It was

a sight of several youngsters who were tall, lean, and mean-looking ganging up

on a youngster. The guy who was getting the beating curled in the shape of a

question mark to cover his chest, gut, and face.

The elves wore robes so ne and silky. They looked like they were weaved using

golden threads. They neatly combed their golden hair and wore a silver circlet

with a red ruby in the center.

Their pointy ears and awless smooth skin were a dead giveaway of their

identity as elves to Michael. He could not identify the youngster's race as he

was covering his face. Michael moved around the spyders to get a better angle,

"Filthy half-blood"

"Thank Eladriel we could only give you a beating"

"Let's just cut his ears"

"I feel disgusting just by kicking this lthy half-blood"

The elven youngsters were shouting while beating the one who they called

half-blood. Michael began to realize what was happening and his suspicion was

conrmed when he saw the ears of the youngster who was getting beaten up.

Those ears were not as pointy as the ears of the elves, still they were not the

ears of humans.

"Half elf," Michael thought. He heard Claire's grandfather Christopher talk

about the proud nature of elves. Because Claire's mother, who was an elf eloped

with a human, the house of Elacan sent a mage to capture Elasha, Claire's

mother, and put a powerful cure on Christopher and Claire's father.

Claire was a half-elf too but she seemed completely human, unlike the

youngster. Although Claire was an exceptional beauty, it was still far too for

someone to say she has elven blood running in her body.

"I am tired"

"Yeah I need some blood wine"

"And I need to change my shoes because of this lth"

The youngsters began to kick the half-elf harder and harder but soon, they left

him alone. Michael saw the half-elf lying on the ground still. He almost

thought the half-elf lost consciousness because of the beating the elves gave

him.

The half-elf surprised him by standing up. Now that the half-elf was on his

feet, Michael could see his face. The half-elf had a pair of blue eyes, golden

shoulder-length hair, warm ivory skin tone as well as a pair of arched eyebrows

on his long face.

Unlike the elves, the half-elf was wearing a cream colored jacket, black pants

that had several stitches and worn-out brown boots. The half-elf bent

backward holding his waist,

"Oh my back" the half elf grimaced,

He then wiped o the blood coming out from his nostrils and surprisingly, he

grinned ear to ear. The reason for his happiness was revealed to Michael when

the half elf opened his st. Michael saw several silver rings,

"Great harvest. I hope these assholes have something valuable inside"

The half-elf mumbled under his breath. Still, Michael was able to hear him. The

half-elf gawked back and forth before rushing towards the back of the train.

"Interesting"

Michael moved the spyders behind the half elf to follow him. The half elf passed

every compartment until the last one. Yet, he never opened the last

compartment. He walked past the compartments and stepped into the last

couch which was one open compartment. Several suitcases were lying around

and some of them were opened. Clothes and books were lying around

chaotically. The half-elf jumped onto a stack of suitcases,

The half-elf looked around, closed his eyes, and placed one space ring on his

right palm. Michael was staring at the half elf curiously.

The half elf remained with his eyes closed for a couple of minutes. When the

half elf opened his eyes, his index nger was glowing. He touched the space

ring with his index nger as the space ring began to tremble. The half elf moved

his nger, drawing some kind of symbol on his palm.

Boom!

The trembling space ring all of a sudden exploded. Yet, there were few items

materialized on the oor just after the space ring exploded. Michael saw a

couple of jade daggers, scrolls, and a few gold coins.

The half elf frowned,

"Damn it" he cursed, waving his hand. A beam of light shot out from the half

elf's palm and engulfed the items. The very next second, the light beam

disappeared along with the items on the oor.

The half elf continued to break the space rings one by one. Each time he broke a

space ring, he ended up stealing the leftover items.

"A runemaster"

Michael realized the specialization of the half-elf while watching him break

open the space rings one by one. Obviously, the half elf was destroying the

space rings along with most of the items inside. Still, it was a great feat that

many believed that space rings are unbreakable.

"If he was called by Mazeroth, he must be a gifted one," Michael thought.

For a long time, he was looking for a runemaster to serve him. It seemed like he

had nally found a suitable candidate to recruit. The problem was however how

he should approach the half elf. He could either meet the half-elf as Ghost or

Lucifer but getting into his Lucifer persona in the Akilan realm was a risk.

Therefore, he decided to approach him as Ghost. Fortunately, the girl he met

told him that in the Akilan realm, Mazeroth in particular, everyone would be

called using their student numbers rather than real names. If he played his

cards correctly, he could hide his identity and recruit him into the order.

Several minutes later, the half elf broke all the space rings in his hand. He

jumped down to the oor with a grin,

"It's time to nd another group of racist assholes to steal from" the half elf

made his way towards the student compartments once again.

The half elf walked out of the compartment having no idea of being followed.

Inside compartment 33, Edith and Victoria were staring at an orb oating in the

middle of them.

"Why does your father want you to hide your identity?" Edith asked. The orb

was powered with Cosmin c energy. Hence, they were able to communicate with

Victoria's father in Thusia using the orb.

"I don't know but dad must have his reasons"

In her life, Victoria had never questioned her father's decisions. For her, he was

the greatest ruler born to unite the entire world under the name of Thusia. She

believed it was her destiny to rule the united world as the Empress of Thusia.

"Atleast I dont have to wear any masks to hide my face" Edith rolled her eyes.

She did not seem very happy about Victoria hiding her face as well as her

identity as the princess of Thusia.

"So be glad," Victoria said, icking her wrist. A porcelain mask appeared on her

face. She slowly placed the mask on her face. Victoria kept the mask on her face

and gradually, the mask merged with her face, changing her facial feathers and

the color of her hair. In mere moments, Victoria's face transformed completely.

She looked nothing like the Victoria Edith knew and saw a few seconds ago.

"This is going to be weird," Edith said. She couldn't help reaching out to feel

Victoria's face. Her face was still soft and very human-like.

"Now can you keep your mouth shut Edi?"

Edith knocked Victoria on the head playfully,

"I'm not a secret spiller. You can hide your face but you cannot hide who you

are. Eventually, you yourself will reveal your identity, and Ill have to save your

butt as usual" Edith said, pung her chest out,

"Tell me the one time you saved me" asked Victoria.

Edith stuck her tongue out since not even once she saved Victoria from trouble.

On the contrary, it was always Victoria who saved Edith from trouble. She was

friends with Victoria as far as she could remember. Simply, they were family to

each other. They did not keep secrets from each other except for Victoria's

involvement in acquiring the Cosmic Stream. However, that was because

Victoria's father made Victoria promise not to tell anyone until they obtained

the Cosmic Stream. Edith would have stopped Victoria and persuaded her to

nd another way instead of betraying someone using love. For Edith, love was

the most precious thing in the world.

Because Victoria was her best friend, subconsciously Edith ignored the fact

Victoria faked being in love with Abras and betrayed him for the Cosmic Stream.

Thusians did get the Cosmic Stream and they were using the Stream to become

the strongest. However, they failed to realize that the power came at a cost.
