1535 Words
As usual, Lavi is taking care of things in the castle before Nick called Lavi.
"Son. Someone call you. So, Quickly get ready and meet them."
Lavi is training on the Training Ground with the Knights. He was beating them to pulp. And when Nick arrives. Everyone kneeled. But then, When Nick turn around. The person was there.
"Lavi. It's me."
Eve show up. Her left hand was revealed to the public. A really famous mark is on her left hand. Everyone sees that mark and immediately look excited.
"Eve. What's happening?"
Lavi go to Eve. Eve immediately snap her finger. Lavi now know it's something pretty serious. He doesn't know how serious it is. But he know that it's pretty serious because, Snapping one's Finger is a way that the 10 Harbingers communicate with each other in the public without the public panicking.
Lavi know that and turn around to the Corps.
"Alright. I'm going to talk with my Comrades for a moment. You lot rest and then train again."
Lavi said. Everyone nodded. Nick already gone at this point. Lavi and Eve go to Lavi house. Lavi see Roze shoes on the house and they get inside the Living Room. Everyone waved at Lavi and Eve.
Everyone sat down. The atmosphere is quiet. Only Gwen and Bianca is the one serious hearing about this. The others was quite interested in the conversation. But they didn't really want to get into the trouble that will happen. Not that they didn't want to. They just feel like they didn't belong in the talk.
"So Lavi, Gwen and Bianca. There's a report from my Tribe. That another Blood Moon will rises tomorrow."
Everyone was shocked by that fact. Even Althea was shocked.
"I'm sorry Eve. Another one? Blood Moon only appear once every two years. And as a Goddess. That's how I make it work."
Eve immediately look at her with apologetic look.
"I'm sorry Goddess Althea... But my Tribe just tell me that they're going to force the Blood Moon to rise. I try to stop them but, the head of the tribe immediately banished me from my Tribe... So it's my Former Tribe."
Eve said. Lavi get serious.
"Forced? They're doing some ritual?"
"Exactly. They're doing something forbidden called The Blood Ritual. Similar to that we faced in the Cult of Demon Lord. They will try to sacrifice a lot of blood to the moon so that the Moon will become Blood Moon."
Althea look pretty serious. Someone is trying to break her world balance. And Althea wasn't going to let it happen.
"Well then. If they try to summon the Blood Moon and succeeded... Lavi. Soul Break them. Trying to break the world system... They deserve to die."
Althea said. Lavi nodded.
"Got it Althea. You're fine with this right?"
Lavi asked Eve calmly. Both Eve and Roze nodded.
"Alright. Althea... Should I remove my Limiter?"
Lavi asked. Althea shrug his shoulder.
"Once... I will give you the permission for this once."
"Got it."
Lavi smiled. His Limitless power will be released.
"So, What's the plan here?"
Lavi asked. Instead of Bianca answering. It's Althea. She's so pissed off that's happening.
"Lavi. s***h the Blood Moon away. Remember. Blood Moon and Normal Moon is different. If you destroy the Blood Moon, The Normal Moon will not be destroyed. And since this is a Blood Moon Ritual. It's different from the one I make every 2 years. So, I give you permission to slice it in half."
Althea said. That's some pretty big command that she want Lavi to do. And Lavi smiled. Everyone shuddered just from his Aura. He was happy.
"I got you Althea. I will do that."
Lavi look at Eve.
"Eve... I'm sorry that I have to kill your entire Tribe."
"I mean... Why do I have to care? They're not my Family anymore. As you know, We're Althea Descendant. If someone try to fight her, They're our enemy. And we don't care if it's family or not."
Eve said with flame in her eyes. Lavi nodded.
"Right. Well then. Eve and Roze, You both can talk with the girls and hang out. I still need to train the knight."
Lavi said. Eve and Roze nodded. Lavi left and Eve immediately said.
"He's a proper Prince huh..."
Everyone nodded and said.
"Yup!"
In agreement to Eve Statement. Lavi go back to the Training ground and see that everyone is still training. So Lavi come in and beat the s**t out of everyone again. But this time, The beating seems different. There's no Hesitation from Lavi attack. And that make it's harder and yet more effective because everyone can feel the bloodlust inside Lavi attack.
'I hate dealing with stupid stuff like this. It's just a waste of power and time. But I need to keep something like that away from the world.'
Lavi thought. He end the Training Session at 5 PM. At that point, Eve and Roze have gone back to their Inn. Lavi come to the Living room. In the Living room door, There's only Althea. Lavi go inside the Living room and lock the door.
Althea expression is really serious. Lavi sat down beside Althea. Lavi pat Althea head.
"It's fine. It's not your fault that the system was broken. Okay?"
Lavi said suddenly. Althea look at Lavi and muttered.
"How did you know what I was thinking?"
"Althea... I'm your Husband. All of you guys feeling, pain and emotion can be transmitted into me. I just know that you're feeling incredibly disappointed and mad. But that's why I'm here for right? To become your Judgement."
Lavi said with a smile. Althea smiled softly toward Lavi.
"Lavi... Thank you... Your word is what I needed right now."
Althea said. Lavi kiss her gently and said.
"Of course. I'm here for you okay? Tell me what your worries."
Althea blushed badly from Lavi. She look at Lavi sweetly and said.
"Nothing. I don't have my worries anymore. Your action speak louder Lavi. It blow away my worries..."
Althea lean on Lavi right shoulder. Lavi smiled and pat her back.
"Anyway, I want to ask about this too. We could just kill the Tribe right now and don't have to deal with the Blood Moon right?"
Althea nodded.
"We could do that. But we need to give them the feeling of surprise. With you destroying the Blood Moon. They will think that the Ritual Failed and nothing will be known after that."
Lavi nodded. He thought.
'Well, That's true... We couldn't kill someone younger and innocence in the Moon Lunatic Tribe... It's too savage even for me... I don't like that.'
Althea chuckled like she's reading Lavi mind. She said.
"And that's exactly why we're Husband and Wife Lavi. All your worries also transmitted into me."
"Right... You play my own card against me..."
Lavi chuckled. Althea chuckled. The bell was ring. Lavi unlock the door and Zora come in with sweets.
"This is the special cake that Lord Althea want."
Lavi look at the giant White Cake. There's a lot of brown specks on it. Althea look at Zora and said.
"Thank you Zora."
Zora bowed and go back out. Lavi lock it again. Lavi sat down beside Althea. Without slicing any cake, She just put her spoon to the cake and eat it that way.
"Althea... What is this?"
"It's Cinnamon Vanilla Cake. You want to try it Lavi?"
Lavi nodded. It sound delicious. Althea take a spoonful of the cake and feed Lavi. Lavi take a bite and immediately, He was loving it. For Lavi, It hits the right spot. So it's really yummy.
And after finishing the whole cake with only the two of them. Lavi was satisfied and so do Althea. She's not that full yet but she get full when seeing Lavi munching face.
Lavi started to get sleepy on the couch. And that's where Althea face turn into a beast. Fortunately, Bianca ring the bell and Althea turn back normal.
Althea open the door and Bianca see Lavi is sleeping with an empty plate covered with a bit of frosting.
"Ah! Althea is monopolizing Lavi?!"
Bianca was shocked. Althea suddenly grab her inside gently and Lock the door again.
"Come one. Let's not scream on the hallway. Let's go near the dad of the baby."
Althea said jokingly. Bianca nodded. 30 Minutes passed. Both Althea and Bianca actually fell asleep from the comfy.
The Next day. Lavi go with Althea to the Arena. Nazuna and Riri have yet to arrive because they're still sleeping. Lavi sat down on the middle of the Arena. With Silver Annihilation in front of him. Althea is putting some sort of spell to Lavi.
"Okay Lavi. The word to release your Limiter is... Juxtaposition."
Althea said. Lavi was confused.
"What is that even mean? Justkjasdjkgnas"
Lavi flopped his word and mumble it. Althea chuckled.
"I'm just joking. Your word is Byakko."
"Got it... What's Byakko Mean?"
"White Tiger."
Lavi nodded. He doesn't know why his power is called Byakko but, He just go along with it. Lavi take a deep breath in and let it out.
"Byakko."
