Tales of the Supremes 43 CALMING A HEAR

Kalipsi scratched his head. The thing he wanted to say was now known to Tala, so there's no need to repeat it.

He looked at Tala smilingly like a fool and said, "That is something to do with Teacher Salina, but I think you knew it now."

Tala continued her tea time.

"Tala, what do you intend to do with them?" Kalipsi asked seriously. The two was way stronger than him. He couldn't help to be worried.

"You don't need to worry. They're not enemies," Tala sipped a little of her tea. Her threat earlier was just to temper Kalipsi's perseverance against an enemy stronger than him with someone to worry about and Kalipsi didn't let her down.

He didn't become greedy as to ask help knowing his predicament.

"Are you sure?" Kalipsi couldn't help to ask. Teacher Salina was gravely serious in injecting harm against him to made Tala talk, so how could Tala say those words.

"They are a special force from the Luzviminda Realm. They are here to investigate something related to the altars we have seen," Tala didn't hide a single detail.

Kalipsi might be just sixteen years old, but he became more mature beyond his age. He can properly scale the things to do and not to do.

He became calmer when he was held by those stronger than him knowing his life on the line.

'Luzviminda Realm!?' Kalipsi gulped. He didn't anticipate that those assailants were from the Luzviminda Realm for real.

Kalipsi inhaled deeply.

"How did they know it? If I find out who spout out that news, I'll gonna cut his tongue!" Kalipsi knitted his brows. They all swear not to tell what happened inside the cave before they left as Tala instructed, so how did they know?

Tala who was sipping her tea, spout it out as she choked herself.

"Are you okay?" Kalipsi asked.

"I'm okay. The thing is..." Tala rubbed her ears before she continued her words, "I accidentally told them."

Kalipsi froze. He meant everything he said earlier, but how could he do it to Tala? He was staring at Tala with a blank expression.

"Ahem!" Kalipsi cleared his throat. "I'm just kidding earlier." He forcefully made a smile.

Kalipsi was baffled as to how Tala accidentally let words out about the altars and how did he knew the identity of those two, but he didn't voice it out.

"Why did they leave suddenly?" Kalipsi was positive that Tala didn't give them any clue about their questions, so why?

"They already found out what happened to the two caves we get rid of."

Tala spent a great amount of time to travel to the location of a single cave, but Salina has already found it all in just a day. She could roughly guess the number of people with Salina.

"That fast?" Kalipsi became more interested to know the identity of those people.

…

Inside a private room, Salina asked again the blue-clad man who was wearing a mask.

"Your subordinate did not dare to lie." The man answered as he was kneeling like a knight.

"If two of the altars were already destroyed, how could he do it that even all of you couldn't?" Salina asked.

"We don't know young miss," the man responded. They tried to use brute force to destroy the altars, but it was just for naught.

They were searching for the location of the altars in this past two years. They have turned upside down the capital even the palace but to no avail. They were planning on leaving after the selection and report that they have discovered none, but Tala suddenly showed up with the news that shook them all.

The enemy was planning a large scale sacrificial lamb than they thought.

"They didn't even plan of sparing those frail human," Salina's rage came to a new height.

Salina materialized 10 thumb-size bottles. She summoned every subordinate under her and hand over each one.

"Pour this water to the center of the altar," she instructed.

"Your subordinate understood," her men simultaneously blended into the darkness.

"Second, I'll accompany you." She brought 10 men exactly, the 11th member was her but as two of the altar were already destroyed, she decided to accompany Second than just waiting.

"Then I will lead the young miss to the destination," Second bowed.

"Let's go." Salina seemed like in a hurry.

Under the darkness of the night, two figures strode in unimaginable speed. They arrived at the mouth of a cave. A handmade one!

Just like the cave, Tala's group have taken in, it was also guarded by three black-clad men. The two figures killed them without a fight.

The two figures continued their way ahead.

Arriving at the innermost of the cave, a stone table was standing still. It was decorated with unknown symbols and writings.

The old man raised his brows and sent his energy on one corner. A groan immediately sounded.

"What are doing there? Where are your manners? You have visitors, you should greet them, right?" Second mockingly said. He approached the corner where a groan sounded.

A black cloak man was kneeling on the floor while spouted a mouthful of blood.

"Young miss, what should I do with this one." The old man asked his companion.

"Second, bring him over here." Salina said nonchalantly.

Second drag the man on his hair.

"Who ordered you?" Salina asked nonchalantly as she examined the altar, carefully touching it.

The black cloak man didn't open his mouth.

Second gripped his hair harder and said, "When my young miss asks you a question, you should answer it."

The man just looked at him with murder intent not intending to talk.

Examining the altar carefully, Salina can roughly guess the age of it. If her guess was right, the altar was built a thousand years ago. Her face showed a sign of resentfulness thinking those innocent people who have been sacrificed in order to build it.

Building and sustaining the altars required the life force of a hundred humans.

Reigning her energy, Salina tried to destroy it with her strength but to no avail.

'How did he do it? Does he have this magical water in his possession too?' A lot of questions flooded her mind.

The black cloak man laughed hysterically. "You don't have the power to do that."

"Who said I'll destroy it?" Salina raised her brows.

"Then, this man will? Huh! His strength is just so-so." The black cloak man said mockingly.

Second just tighten his grip to the man's hair.

The man gritted his teeth from the pain.

Salina just wanted to try how strong her energy, but it was insufficient at all.

Salina materialized a bottle. The same bottle she gave to her subordinates earlier. Pouring the water onto the surface of the altar, the light formed a web crack that became bigger and longer until it engulf the altar.

In just half a minute, the altar crumbled into dust.

The man's mouth twitched uncontrollably. "You dare to destroy it. You're gonna die," the man shouted in desperation. He tried to free himself from Second's grip but to no avail.

Salina approached the man. Using her foot to raise the chin of the man kneeling from the grip of Second, she asked, "You?"

The man just shrugged his shoulder without letting a sound came out from his mouth.

Salina raised her hand and powerful energy coated it. It became purer and powerful as she closed her finger to form a fist. Instead of stopping, she compressed her energy along at her fist to condensed the most powerful fist offense she has on her sleeve.

The old man could only sigh.

Using one of her most powerful offense to a defenseless one shows how enrage their young miss was that she couldn't even take the creature to live more than a second anymore.

She sent the punch directly to the man's head without a slight hesitation.

The black cloak man's neck broke without realizing his death.

"This creature isn't simple. If it's just so-so, I should have been able to take his head away from his body in that attack." Salina rubbed her knuckle.

"You're right young miss. Even my attack didn't amount much, Second agreed. His attack should be able to cripple the man, but he just spouted a mouthful of blood.

"Let's go." Salina flipped her robe before she turned her back.

The two visited the cave Tala's group have founded. Salina confirmed what her subordinate had reported.

There's no even lingering dark energy!

She noticed the white flower in the midst. Her fiery heart calmed a little and Second felt the change on her.
