Chapter 55 – Retribution

*splash*

As Fatty’s blood slowly dripped onto the stage, a surge of pain suddenly shot through Calron!

Calron had never felt such a bond with anyone else in his life. Watching his brother bleed before his eyes, awakened a primordial rage inside of him!

Him and Fatty were kindred souls. They had shared the same torment of not having a place where they belonged, and although Fatty constantly goofed around and annoyed Calron, deep within the depths of his heart, Calron liked having Fatty pester him.

Fatty was the only one that Calron had ever felt such closeness with, and he had not realized until this moment just how much effect that boy’s presence had in his life!

Seeing his brother’s current mangled body and the broken arm with pale white bone showing, Calron felt an intense hatred and wrath welling up within his body!

He slowly observed all the countless cuts and wounds spread across Fatty’s body.

The blood continued to drip on the stage, as Fatty desperately tried to break free of Chax’s hold.

Just as Calron was about to rush to the stage, Fatty suddenly stopped moving.

Time stopped.

Calron started to breathe heavily, as his heart violently thumped against his chest.

A colossal amount of blood surged through his veins, as an intense killing intent emanated from Calron.

A guttural growl sounded out from his throat, as he felt the concrete beneath him starting to crack apart.

A fiery heat circulated inside his body, as Calron’s skin suddenly took on a complete crimson color!

He no longer looked like a human while exuding that savage aura which was akin to that of a wild beast, as his skin shimmered with a blood-colored glow!

The crimson mist orbited around Calron, as the domain of the Blood Arts was activated for the first time ever!

Completely unaware of the changes happening to his body, Calron growled through his clenched teeth.

“TI…..TAN’S……FURY!”

………………………………

High above the Arena, and on top of a cliff, an old man stood with an enraged expression on his face!

*CRACK*

A huge boulder next to him disintegrated into dust, as his fist stuck the large rock!

A vicious aura suddenly radiated from his body, as his long white hair wildly fluttered in the wind.

“THESE BASTARDS!”

Elias furiously bellowed, as his opaque grey eyes burst with an unnatural light!

Seeing his own disciple beaten on the stage, Elias felt an uncontainable fury welling up inside him. This scene was very similar to when his nephew was slaughtered back then, and Elias did not have the heart to watch another discipleof his being killed in front of him.

However, just as he was about to leap towards the stage, the source pool inside the Blood Legacy started to tremble vigorously!

“No…No… NO! This can’t be happening! CALRON!”

…………………………….

Deep within Calron’s consciousness, a series of images started to flash across his vision.

A crimson giant with bulging arms stood alone on a deserted plain, as countless corpses surrounded him. It was not clear whether or not the giant actually had crimson skin, or if it was just the blood of the corpses.

Calron could only see the back of the giant and no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to gaze at the giant’s face!

Patterns of symbols were wholly etched across the giant’s skin and they faintly glowed with a pale light.

The symbols were surprisingly identical to the one Calron had on his palm!

“Boy, do not regret this… ”

A hoarse whisper sounded out from the giant, as in the next moment, all the images shattered within Calron’s mind.

Suddenly, an intense surge of source energy rushed into him as he felt his muscles and bones being completely imbued with a crimson glow!

A profound strength seemed to enter Calron, as he sensed his body grow stronger and stronger by the moment. Even the experts at the peak of the Spiritual stage would hardly be a challenge for the current Calron!

Every fiber of his being was emanating the source energy of the Blood Legacy.

However, after a single second, Calron felt a sudden jolt of pain shoot through his body!

His blood was starting to be consumed by the legacy!

“ARRRGGGHHH!”

A gut-wrenching scream erupted from Calron’s mouth, and suddenly, a faint illusion of a massive crimson giant coalesced behind him!

It stood around twenty feet tall, with plates of armor covering its chest, wrists and ankles. Besides a loincloth covering its private parts, the giant had no other clothing on it.

The giant suddenly raised its head and mightily roared towards the heavens!

The nearby crowd all stared in shock as they saw the changes in the boy, and their hearts trembled with fright when the illusion of a crimson giant appeared behind Calron.

None of them knew what that creature was, but they could feel the intense pressure it exuded!
