Chapter 380
Chapter 380
While Ajax might not have felt or even noticed his own Aura he quickly registered the two Auras that sprung up and smothered his own. Lioriel had unleashed her Aura looking to suppress Ajax seeing his use of it as a method of intimidation, her efforts however were in vain as both her Aura and Ajax’s were completely smothered by Aranor’s Aura that was pushing his stoicism and crushing everything else.
“What is the meaning of this?” Lioriel hissed out, offended at how heavy handed Aranor had been. “That was clearly an attack.”
“What?...” Ajax was dumbfounded at what was happening all around him.
“That was undirected Aura.” Aranor said calmly. “It is also the first time I have seen the boy use it, I am guessing he just unlocked it and it reacted to the way he saw his beloved being treated.”
Lioriel took a moment to consider what Aranor had said, that moment was enough for her to process the true extent of what Ajax having an Aura truly meant. “He is not even twenty five years of age, he is barely past level fifty. This is unheard off.” Lioriel muttered to herself so quietly only Aranor and Ajax heard her.
While Lioriel awe wasn’t heard by everyone they were all independently aware of what Ajax possessing an Aura meant. Elara, Arianwyn and Darkclaw all threw Ajax piercing looks as they were trying to pry out his secrets.
“His skill levels can’t be that high if he is not yet twenty five years of age.” Elara whispered to Arianwyn and Aranor. “Just how high are his stats, the previous record for unleashing an aura was just under level eighty but it was done with some very high skills, was he holding back his stats the entire time?”
“He might be making up for skill levels with both quantity and quality.” Arianwyn whispered back. “Sure his skills aren’t absurdly high but he must have a lot of them and there should be quite a few Rare and higher.”
Ajax wasn’t so much concerned with the whispering as he was with inspecting his Status to see what had happened.

Seeing his progress following the brief engagement with the wolf alpha and the fight eagle was satisfying but the addition of Aura to his traits had his focus. Ajax had expected that he would break the record for the earliest Aura unlock but he had still expected to be around level sixty before that happened.
While Ajax was watching his status and the rest of his group was considering the implication of what Ajax unlocking his Aura already meant the elf berating Lexi and the rest of his entourage finally got a hold of themselves after being subjected to Aranor’s full Aura, even as friendly as he had deployed it. Not only that but they had also put together that the first Aura they felt, the one that had destain and slight malice towards them came from one of the humans.
“You dare attack us?!” The elf prepared himself to go on a tirade.
Lioriel cut him off at the knees as she had her entire squad surround Ajax’s entire group, instead of doing so protectively however all of the guards were facing inwards with hands on their weapons. The guards however made no further movement, the two closest to Aranor even had a slight tremor in their hands as the elven champion raised a brow at their actions.
“Is that it?” The elf lost the mocking grin once he saw that nothing else happened.
“They were allowed entrance by the grace of her Majesty.” Lioriel answered him. “They are now under arrest and it will be up to her how to handle this incident.”
This answer annoyed the elf and his entourage to no end as they all knew nothing will come of it, they had looked into the reason for the group’s presence before they came to antagonize them. While attacking a Deepwood citizen would be just cause for having their protections removed and Aura attack from someone who had just unlocked it and towards someone who was openly antagonistic would never hold up.
“Are you certain that is the best course of action?” One of the elves' guards asked as he slowly extended a small sack with a bribe towards Lioriel. “We would be happy resolving things ourselves, no need to bother the queen.”
“Are you stupid?” Lioriel’s blunt attitude was clearly not what anyone had expected but she continued to berate them. “Starfury would turn you into an extremely realistic ice exhibit within seconds.”
“L-Lord Starfury isn’t who we have some to settle with,” the guards voice quivered a little at even the idea of fighting the elven champion. “It's the human.”
“Baron Hearthbound as well as everyone else in our group is under my protection.” Aranor cut the conversation off there. “I would insist on hearing the queen’s decision regarding the incident. Unlesssss…”
The last drawn out word got a lot of surprised looks. Elara, Arianwyn and Lioriel especially looked surprised at what almost everyone interpreted as asking for a bribe.
“Yes of course, you would be compensated for your trouble my lord.” The guard was quick to pounce.
“You misunderstand me.” Aranor answered with a grin. “A duel to settle the incident would be acceptable to me, so long as it takes place between the two parties in question.”
Everyones surprised and for the most part slightly resentful looks at Aranor turned straight towards the previously mouthy elf with schadenfreude. They all knew exactly what would happen in a fight between him and Ajax.
“You would have the young lord fight someone close to level one hundred? “ The guard asked in mock outrage. “He is barely level sixty two and the aggrieved here.”
“Of course I wouldn’t stand for such an unfair fight.” Aranor responded, his social skill pulling their wait as he seemed offended by the implication. “I swear on my name that the human is not only younger but also lower level than the young lord.”
That statement left the entire group of elves stunned, their faces turning from shock to horror as one by one they turned towards Ajax who had now moved on from the event and was ignoring them in favor of trying to cheer Lexi up.
With the situation at an impasse the group of elves retreated and Lioriel now approached the Aranor. “As soon as the prince comes out of the dungeon you will all be taken before the queen to deal with this… encounter.”
“I’m sure that won’t be a problem, though I will have to ask that one of your guards is sent to make arrangements for our accommodations.” Aranor agreed. “Following our audience with the queen we would need a good night’s rest before we move on to the second dungeon.”
Lioriel agreed to the offer with a nod and the rest of her squad flared out a little around them isolating them to ensure another incident doesn’t happen
