Chapter 15: Chapter 15: A seal



On the boy\'s lap is a scroll containing a very powerful magic circle.

"Seal breaker!"

With his voice, the scroll activated revealing an intricate magic circle. This magic circle began to create a halo that shot up towards the seal on Apollo\'s body.

"Ugh!"

The magic seal, lying unyielding and unbreakable on the boy\'s chest begins to tear apart like threads coming undone. With the power of the scroll, an energy weakly seeps through the weakening barrier of the magic seal. Faint cracks appeared tracing an intricate pattern of decay, as the seal began to yield against the force of the magic circle.

The air vibrates with the beats of each release of magic, signalling the imminent breach of the magical seal.

The boy agonized with each passing second however he didn\'t let it overwhelm him. Despite the pain he remained seated until he felt a bit lighter it seemed like the spell breaker was working. The more exposure the seal is to the seal breaker the weaker it becomes making Apollo slowly proceed to his first plan.

"I\'ll tackle this seal later" he groaned as he thought of this. The feeling of being stabbed was lessening however the sensation of being burned didn\'t disappear but instead, it intensified.

Without Apollo\'s knowledge, his skin already went red while his clothes were soaked with his sweat but no one could ever break his concentration.

[Bloodline awakening 50%]

[70% breakage of the seal]

Apollo almost became bewildered by what he heard, just what on earth happened to him to acquire such a seal.

"I\'ll deal with you later"

He said putting his focus back on his bloodline awakening.

[Bloodline awakening progress 60%]

The scroll in his hand still shines brightly not letting the seal take a moment of rest.

"It\'s so hot"

Apollo could only say as his body turned red and sweat-soaked his clothes.

"I wanna strip"

[That won\'t help you feel better Creator]

"Tsk!" Apollo clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Whoever put this thing on me will suffer a pain a thousand times much worse than what I am feeling right now," he thought while clenching his fist.

He hated the heat the most and currently, he felt like someone was roasting him alive. It was uncomfortable and annoying however if he couldn\'t endure it then he wouldn\'t be able to awaken his bloodline.

[Bloodline awakening progress 70%]

[60% breakage of the seal]

"Just a little bit more"

Each passing second felt like an eternity for the boy however all his patience paid off when he heard a notification.

[Bloodline awakening 100%

Initiating recalibration.....

Detecting any abnormalities...

Scanning.....]

"Nice finally the pains are over"

As soon as Apollo put his mind at ease he unintentionally lost consciousness slowly his head fell to the ground.

"I wonder if the little sun will like this"

"Sir Carlo should we assist him as well we are about to finish our quota after all"

Without the boy\'s knowledge as soon as he loses consciousness the five senior mages return to bring him his dinner however as soon as they arrive Apollo\'s appearance makes them panic.

"Little sun?"

"Apollo!"

Immediately they approach the unconscious boy checking everything part of his body.

"What\'s this?..why does he have this thing!"

One of the senior mages said holding the scroll Apollo used.

"It\'s a spell breaker if I am not mistaken sir Arthur gave it to Apollo before entering the forest the other day"

A sense of foreboding suddenly crept in making him shout at the mage who stands beside him.

"Liam hurry call a mage from the Ocean Tower we need their help!"

Carlo\'s expression made the senior mage named Liam hurriedly leave.

The remaining senior mages notice something glowing inside Apollo\'s robe. This made Carlos worried so he approached Apollo then hurriedly unbuttoned his shirt.

"Sir Carlos isn\'t that!"

Across the boy\'s chest was an ancient magical seal. This seal spreads throughout Apollo\'s body, black ink-like symbols are embedded on the boy\'s skin looking like an unbreakable curse.

Carlo just lifted the boy while taking the flask and test tube Apollo had used. Then he gave it to one of the remaining mages.

"Sam follow Liam and take this with you, see if you can still get anything from it"

"I will sir"

And so Carlo and the remaining senior mages all hurried towards the Ocean Tower.

.....

Inside the Ocean Tower Apollo lay unconscious in one tower\'s recovery room. Surrounding his bed were the tower masters and Carlo.

"What did the boy do Carlo?"

The master of the Ocean Tower asked looking at the boy whose body was being engulfed by a powerful magic seal.

"Apollo tried to complete one of the Segundo Alfonso\'s alchemic formulas," the senior mage said before looking at the unconscious boy.

"Did he succeed?" The master of the Ocean Tower asked again however the Red Sun tower master didn\'t seem to like his question.

"I don\'t think that\'s what you should worry about, look at the boy someone put a magic seal on him"

"And not just any normal magic seal but an ancient one"

The master of the Blue Moon Tower said as she used her magic to scan the boy\'s body.

"It\'s good that Arthur\'s spell breaker manages to damage the seal or else Apollo would be put in much bigger trouble" she added as she studied the seal.

"By the way Ocean Tower master have you recognized what the seal could do?"

"Yes I did" she answered taking out something from her robe however before she could even begin her explanation a mage suddenly barged inside the room.

"Master Apollo\'s statistical report and body scan have arrived" he said holding a brown envelope.

"We should read the results first before I explain the magic seal"

The other tower masters nodded while Carlo quietly took a chair to sit on.

As they read the contents of the report the master of the Blue Moon Tower couldn\'t help but ask.

"It\'s missing" she begins to say as she looks worriedly at Apollo.

"Don\'t tell me this seal was meant to.." her voice trailed off suppressing her fury.

"Yes the seal was meant to seal a person\'s talent, it also includes the sealing Apollo\'s Ki and mana"

"But Apollo was still able to use magic, tower master" Carlo was a bit confused.

"It\'s because his mana reserves were so massive that the seal was only able to seal a big portion of it. That is why he could still utilize his mana even though more than half of it was sealed"

"Does it also include magical hereditary traits?" Carlo added another question which the Ocean Tower mages answered " Yes"

"Now I understand why Apollo can\'t use one of the Lionheart family\'s hereditary traits. It\'s because he can\'t but he just couldn\'t"

They all look at Apollo\'s tired expression as if the boy went on a hellish experience.

However, amidst their worried expression, another senior mage barged in and it was Liam and Sam.

"Apollo! He did it!"

They both excitedly said handing the analysis report of the remaining contents of the flask and test tube.

"Wait he was able to reach such a high success rate"

The red tower master said as his expression turned joyous feeling proud of the boy\'s discovery.

"What a brilliant mind" he could only say handing it over to the two tower master

"It\'s not perfect however it was enough to achieve success" Blue Moon Tower master commented while feeling amazed at Apollo\'s skills

"So Apollo used the formula to awaken his bloodline however he unknowingly woke up a seal inside him"

"At least he was able to get two great discoveries, Segundo Alfonso\'s formula and this seal"

"Red Sun Tower master that isn\'t funny" Carlos couldn\'t help but say seeing his nonchalant words.

"So should we break it now or wait for the boy to wake up" Ocean Tower master asked seeing the seal trying to seal Apollo\'s newly awakened bloodline.

"I suggest we let him wake up first, knowing the boy he won\'t like it if we make the decision" Blue Moon tower master suggested.

"By the way how long do you plan to stand there"

Maya said looking at the corner of the room.

"I am waiting for the young master to wake up"

On one of the corners of the room stands one of Isabella\'s contractual spirits, Ifrit the fire demon spirit.

"For a powerful being, you look like an abandoned child" Ocean Tower master said.

Ifrit didn\'t mind her words instead his gaze remained on the sleeping boy.

Seeing the spirit\'s silence the Ocean Tower master just sighs however their peaceful atmosphere suddenly shifts when an aura of death seeps within the room.

"What\'s that!" Red tower master pulled out his staff ready to engage in combat.

Soon a thick amount of killing intent filled the room making Carlos and the rest of the senior mages pass out.

"Wait I think I know this intent" Despite the intense atmosphere Maya the Ocean Tower master looked at the door and said "Head?
