The Growth of a Titan

Chapter 22:- I Won’t Look For Him, He’ll Come Right To Me

Adalhard who was knocked away from the blast cried out when he saw the aura around Sol.

However his eyes suddenly widen in horror as another projection appeared in the sky above Sol. This time Adalhard didn't feel fear, what he instead felt was an obligation to bow down to this projection and worship it.

This feeling was even more intense than Lord Ga-On's own, and this terrified him.

As for Lord Ga-On, upon seeing this projection his figure trembled and he immediately knelt on one kneel while yelling.

"This humble servant of Goddess Keres has done something irredeemable! I ask for thy's mercy!!"

As Lord Ga-On yelled this, his voice was filled with terror.

Adalhard had his mind go blank when he saw this scene unfold. His Lord Ga-On, who he and his Church worshiped wholeheartedly, was kneeling to this boy and asking for forgiveness?

Adalhard turned to look at Sol shimmering in an abundance of Holy Power and a sense of dread overcame him.

Just who was he trying to kill? What kind of origin did this boy have?

As Adalhard was still in shocked by this development, Sol's raised his hand and grasped towards Lord Ga-On.

"O-Oh Descendant of Hemera, the Goddess of Light! I ask for thy's forgiveness!!"

Lord Ga-On again cried out tragically when he saw Sol's actions.

But seeing that Sol had no intention of sparing him, Lord Ga-On's consciousness tried to leave the projection Adalhard summoned.

But with Sol's grasp, he seemed to have absolute authority over Lord Ga-On's Holy Power energy, as if the power he wielded was a level above Lord Ga-On's own.

As a result, the projection that was created by faith energy became a prison for Lord Ga-On's consciousness.

"NO!!"

Lord Ga-On released a bloodcurdling screaming fit as a sun appeared on the projection's forehead and seeped inside to be branded on his consciousness.

"How-How dare thou mark me with thou's Holy Crest?! I am a servant of Goddess Keres, even if thou art a Descendant of Hemera, this is going too far!!"

Lord Ga-On was enraged by Sol's actions, but he wasn't allowed to finish his vexed rant as Sol waved his hand at the projection. The projection then dissipated into golden specs which slowly scattered in the air.

After that, Sol's shimmering golden pupils landed on Adalhard.

Adalhard's body trembled uncontrollably and he didn't hesitate to slam his forehead on the ground and cry out.

"This servant of Lord Ga-On wishes to ask Descendant of-!!"

Adalhard wanted to copy what Lord Ga-On said and begged for mercy, but his words were cut short as he heard a loud thud.

Adalhard looked up and saw that Sol had fallen onto the ground unconscious.

Seeing this, Adalhard blinked.

He soon then stood up with a hesitant look on his face.

After waiting for a few seconds to see if Sol would move, Adalhard suddenly turned around and bolted.

The thought of killing Sol crossed his mind, but the scene he witnessed before, his Lord Ga-On bowing to Sol was just too shocking. It was something he would never forget.

However, a few seconds into his fleeing Adalhard suddenly paused.

"If I run and that bastard survives, wouldn't he come after me after what I did to his village?"

The fear of what would happen to him in the future triumph over Adalhard's fear of Sol now.

With murderous intent in his eyes, Adalhard turned around and flew back to the battlefield.

As he reached he immediately flew over to Sol's unconscious body and formed a small black spear from the arm he created from Holy Energy.

"As long as I kill him, then I won't have to live in fear for the rest of my life."

After steeling his conviction, Adalhard flew toward Sol and stabbed out with the black spear.

However, with a loud dang his spear was deflected by a tree root, and he was knocked back.

Little Zeel limply ran over to stand in front of Sol's body. Its gaze was fierce as it looked at Adalhard in the air.

Seeing this Ibbian Beast Adalhard cursed.

"Damn beast! Die!!"

Adalhard was enraged. He felt like if he didn't kill Sol right now he might never get an opportunity like this again in the future.

Adalhard spat out a mouth full of blood onto the small spear in his hand, causing a few more wrinkles to appear on his face. But the small spear became larger in his hand before he rushed toward Sol.

With a violent swing, the roots Little Zeel created to block him were instantly destroyed.

Little Zeel seeing this began to hurriedly cry out.

"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!"

The look in Little Zeel's eyes was one of panic as it continued to make those hurried sounds, all while Adalhard drew closer.

Suddenly, a sigh was heard echoing out in the surroundings.

"My child, I will help only this once."

As the voice said this, Little Zeel made several more sounds before jumping onto Sol's body.

Afterwards, Little Zeel began releasing a green glow that encapsulated his and Sol's unconscious body.

Just as Adalhard reached the ground and stabbed out with his spear, both Little Zeel and Sol's bodies disappeared with a green flash.

When Adalhard saw his spear stabbing into the ground, missing them, he couldn't help but raise his head to the sky and roared out in frustration.

But after releasing this roar, Adalhard suddenly coughed out a mouth full of blood before his vision began to swim making him stagger a bit.

After regaining his footing, Adalhard started breathing heavily as he felt a timer had begun counting down to when he was going to be killed.

"No, I'll find him and kill him!"

Adalhard said, but even he knew to find Sol in this large Mountain Range was impossible. But what other options did he have?

As long as Sol lived, his life would be in danger. No, not even his own life, his Seven Great Churches could be in danger!

Adalhard's eyes narrowed and he was about to fly into the air so he could go back to the village to gather people to hunt down Sol. However, his body suddenly froze.

His head then swerved to look at something several meters away. After walking over to that area Adalhard widened his eyes in surprise.

The thing he was looking at was the emaciated corpse of Amon.

After his initial surprise, Adalhard was then hit with a thought.

A wicked smile soon appeared on his face as he said.

"I won't look for him, he'll come right to me."

After saying this, Adalhard grabbed Amon and flew into the air; staggering a bit due to the added weight.

….

…

..

Somewhere on the outskirts of the Ibbian Mountain Range near the Eastern Continent, Sol's unconscious body could be seen.

He was shirtless and several white bandages were wrapped around his torso and shoulders.

Sol's eyes twitched several times like he would wake up, but eventually, they would stop.

This had happened many times before, but today seemed to be different.

Sol's eyes began twitching again, this time more than usual.

A groan then escaped Sol's lips. He had woken up but immediately as he did his senses were suddenly hit by the pain his body was in.

Sol tried to open his eyes wanting to see what was going on, but as his blurry vision cleared, he suddenly saw the face of an old man standing over him really closely.

"Damn brat! Are you finally awake? If you're awake then hurry and get up to greet your Master!"
