章 30: Chapter 30- Chaos(Edited)
Currently, I was walking, carrying Elda and Nora behind Olivia, who was leading the way. On the way, several people questioned us, but Olivia dealt with it perfectly.
Walking for a few minutes, we reached a huge door without any guards or protection, which made me confused. Seeing my puzzled look, Olivia responded coldly.
"There are no guards because there is no need for it. The room can only be opened by someone with the Emperor's token or a special bloodline like mine."
After saying that, she made a small wound on her hand and placed it on the door, which trembled a bit at first and then opened.
Once the door opened, all I could see inside was just darkness, plain darkness. After opening the door, Olivia turned to me.
"After entering the door, you would be transported inside."
"After entering the door, I don't care about what happens to you, but no harm should come to Nora and Elda."
Saying so, she released her mana for intimidation. I scoffed at her and turned to enter without any fear. While entering, I gave the now-dressed Olivia one more spank.
"Smack..."
"Ah~~~❤"
Her flustered expression was truly quite the sight. Before she exploded, I entered the room. Once I entered it, I felt as if I was falling through a void. I felt something scanning through my body, seeing through my secrets.
After a while, I was brought into a white room. Entering it, I could see both Elda and Nora on the floor. I rushed up to check them.
"Um, what's happening?"
"Ha, big brother, where am I?"
Coming close, I saw that both Elda and Nora had woken up, but their bodies were stiff, and their minds were in chaos. Checking them and seeing they were right, I let out a sigh.
"It's nothing, you girls don't need to worry."
But then suddenly a voice was heard.
"Wrong, young man, they do need to worry."
Suddenly, the space fluctuated, and a figure was created in front of us. The person who appeared was a blonde-haired, green-eyed handsome middle-aged man.
When he appeared, I felt as if the world was pressing into me, and found it quite difficult to breathe. Seeing the person in front of me, I was surprised. After all, I had seen him in some portraits of the palace.
Luke Ezraeil, the founder of the Ezraeil Empire, was a legendary man, to say the least. Seeing the person appear, both Elda and Nora were surprised. After all, they could identify the person.
"Austin, what's going on?"
"Big brother, what's happening?"
Both Nora and Elda questioned at the same time before I could answer. Someone else did.
"You both are here due to awakening your bloodline and are in danger."
Luke's words brought silence to both the girls as they turned quiet. They were smart people themselves, so they could figure some things on their own.
"Normally when groups enter, according to the program, each of you would be separated and given an individual task."
"But seeing two descendant girls of my bloodline and a freakishly talented boy, for once, I stepped in to intervene."
Saying that, he looked toward me.
"Boy, do you know how surprised I was when I found out you were origin level 3 at just the age of 11?"
"What!"
Both Nora and Elda reacted at the same time. According to them, their brother should just be origin level 1. After all, I never told them about my teacher or my true strength.
"Even back in my time, your talent was rare."
"That's why I want to ask you, boy, do you want to undergo the trial for all three of you?"
"Trial? Austin, what's going on here?"
This time Nora inquired, and her expression while asking didn't look good. Sighing, I went closer to both of them and explained the situation.
I could see both Nora and Elda go pale when they heard about their situation. Elda slowly started crying while Nora was still acting tough.
I pulled Elda into my embrace, who started crying both in fear and sadness. I sat there patting her back to give her some comfort.
"Austin, I won't let you do this."
Nora was the first to break the silence. She wore a serious expression completely conveying her conviction. But too bad her conviction meant nothing to me right now.
I looked directly into her eyes as if trying to scare her, but she just looked straight back at me, not even flinching.
This went on for a while before I smiled.
"Big sister, do you remember what I said to you 3 years ago in our first chess match?"
My question got her off guard. Instead of clarifying, I stood up and slowly kept the now pacified Elda down. Then I walked toward the ancestor, Luke.
"Ancestor, I want to take the test for both of them."
"Austin!" "Big brother!"
Neglecting my shouting sisters, I looked toward the ancestor.
"Are you sure? I certainly don't want to see such talent wasted."
"I am sure. Plus, can you do me a favor?"
"What is it?"
"If I fail and die, could you send my sisters away? Since I am taking the test, I should be the only one affected by its failure."
There was silence for a bit before Luke responded.
"I can do that, but during the period of the test, you must protect both of them. And if they die under your protection, then it's on you."
After saying that, his body started to turn illusionary and disappeared.
"You have 5 minutes to get ready."
After that, he completely disappeared. I turned toward my sisters, one looking at me with worry and the other with sadness.
"Nora, I said that I would take care of you, be there for you, hence that's what I am gonna do."
While Austin was inside, bullshitting his sisters, outside the historic world, things were less than peaceful.
