Chapter 110 FIVE MONTHS (8)
Katherine sat beside Max, an unperturbed silence flowed between them as neither of them were in a mood to 'talk'.
When Katherine learned about the 'truth' from Max, she was reasonably shocked but the more she thought about it.....the more she realized how obvious it had been...
There were so many clues....yet Katherine wasn't smart enough to identify any one of them. Even though Katherine should be mad at Adam, she was weirdly not that mad...rather she felt sorry for Adam
'It must have been hard.',
It all made sense to Katherine now, why Adam had an outburst that day....and why he looked particularly unhappy during the beach trip....
Adam was shouldering all that on his own.....why ?
'Was it for us ?', Katherine thought before shaking her head.
From what Katherine's observed so far, Adam isn't the type to sacrifice himself for anything...he always puts himself first....so why didn't he just tell them the truth ?
It was when such questions were burning a hole through her mind that Katherine saw the silhouette of three people in the distance.
" They're here.", Katherine said glancing at Max.
Max was behaving very strangely, his face remained expressionless but Katherine could almost hear him grinding his teeth in anger at the the mere sight of Adam.
' This isn't gonna go well..", Katherine thought apprehensively.
~~~~
" Who the fuck do you think you are.....you fucking brat."
Adam's voice was cold as he glared at Max, black flames erupted around different parts of his body as his anger spiraled out of control, even though the flames were burning profusely his clothes showed no signs of burning up.
Seeing her brother use a strange skill, Lecia's grip on Max loosens as she was surprised and Max used this opportunity to break free from their grasp.
No longer bound, Max stared at the black flames dancing around Adam blankly.
" You fucking liar....", Max muttered out under his breath.
Taking in a deep breath, Max begins to do something strange.
He fished for something in his pocket and took out....what looked like an very expensive ornamental dagger, strange markings and design's were etched into every part of the dagger.
Instead of attacking Adam, who watched him silently....Max cut himself using the dagger forcing his blood out of his body.
The blood that accumulated from his would slowly rose up in the air ominously, Max's skin became more pale as more blood rose up in the air.
All the blood suspended in the air slowly converges together to form a big ball of red blood with a sickeningly sweet smell.
The the ball of blood divides itself again...and again...and again until there were millions of small balls of blood all directly aimed at Adam.
[ Blood Art: Red Needle.]
This was it.
Max's most powerful skill or more appropriate to say a inherited technique.
Red Needle was a basic move of the ancient blood arts, it was his mother's....[The Blood Queen's] legacy....
There was so much more to it, but all that Max could master on his own was the red needle, which involved his blood being sucked out to form hundred's of needles that would pierce his enemy.....in this case, Adam.
Adam looked at the array of red needles blankly.
Max didn't intend to use the skill on him, but something about seeing him so nonchalant ticked Max even further. Making sure to avoid vital points, Max sent all the needles in his direction at a speed that wasn't visible to the naked eye.
" Stop it !", Lecia shouted trying to rush towards the both of them, but Katherine stopped her, fearing that Lecia might get hurt.
Best
Seeing the millions of needles rushing toward Adam, Katherine wanted to do something....anything to stop this madness.
Colliding against something, the needle explode causing dust to cover the space around them, blinding everyone from seeing what had become of Adam.
'Did I get him ?', Max thought anxiously.
There was a small part of him that thought that this was a bit overkill but Max couldn't think straight due to this strange anger he felt.
As the dust cleared, Max narrowed his eyes trying to find where Adam was.
'I should stop.', Max thought his anger calming down hearing his friend's pleas to stop their mindless fight.
' !!!'
Shock is clearly visible on Max's face as the dust clears up making Adam visible once again.....Adam was nowhere to be seen but a huge ball of black flames was seen where he previously stood.
'No it isn't flames...its-'
Just as Max was about to complete his thought, the ball or the 'wings' separate revealing a completely unhurt Adam. Adam had wings made of black flames on either side of him.
Adam had a indifferent expression on his face as he took a step forward,
'Thump'
Then another-
'Thump'
Max's heart beats erratically as a strange emotion surrounds it...it took him a minute to realize that what he was feeling now had a name: fear.
Max involuntarily took a step back even though he didn't want to, that was the result of the intense bloodlust Adam exuded as he walked over, his footsteps ringing across the desolate park.
" You're angry because I didn't tell you the truth ?", Adam askes expressionlessly.
Max strangely felt nervous, yet he still answered back.
" Yes."
Max still had a million questions he wanted answers too.
" You want answers ?", Adam asked as if reading his mind.
Max takes a step forward, his anger resurfacing to bare it's claws.
" I think I'm entitled to some answers.", Max said glaring.
" YOU WANT ANSWERS ?!", Adam asked again raising his voice.
" I WANT THE TRUTH !", Max shouted, a vein bulging on his forehead.
" YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH !"
Before Max could answer back, Adam continues on,
" You sit in your warm little classroom blissfully unaware of the truth which wasn't all that well-hidden.....if you wanted too, you would have found the truth by yourself yet you didn't...because you're a fucking coward."
Max looked at Adam completely stunned as Adam continued on,
" I'm not a fucking coward like you-"
Hitting himself on the chest, Adam continues on,
" Do you know what I've done to reach here...the things I've done.....the things you hypocrites scorn me for.....while you sit in your comfortable little hole of delusion fooling yourself because you know....you know even though I'm unsavory and hideous...I'm the reason you're breathing right now."
'Boom'
Max falls down on the ground after receiving Adam's punch.
" Since you're alive because of me, I have the right to take away your measly little life....don't I ?", Adam said forcing his foot on Max's chest and looking down at him.
For the first time since their 'conversation' began, Max saw a change in Adam's expression....it wasn't his facial expression that had changed, it was his eyes-
...they had a glint of madness.
