DESTINY GIRL

137. The Failure of Old Hermit

Rey breathed her. Rey is confused whether to continue the fight or delay to find out about the crown that time. Looks like Kendrick once said about his crown first, but he forgot.

" Hey, miss... ? What are you thinking about ? " ask the old hermit.

" Old man, I think there are many things related to the Girl of Destiny. It could be a ring, necklace or hair ornament. Not just a bracelet or a crown" Rey said.

" It's up to you not to believe "

" If you can get it, you can't wear it, can you ? " snake Rey.

" I can at least try to drip my own blood to prove it "

Rey smiled a little. He pulled his sleeve. Looks like a glowing bluish-white jade bracelet. The old hermit looked at that thing. He recognized it as the bracelet of Queen Cronos. Rey let go and threw it at the hermit.

" try to.... "

The hermit caught him. He grinned happily stroking the bracelet. He bit his fingertips to the point of dripping blood on Cronos' bracelet. But the blood did not seep, only seeping and dripping onto the ground. The hermit was astonished. He tried again and the result remained the same.

" Why not get absorbed ? " sanyanya.

" Maybe you should wear it" Rey said.

The old hermit hesitated to wear it on his left hand. Looks funny actually. The bracelet was glowing brighter. The old hermit was happy. He put his hand up.

The old hermit looked up at the sky and cast a spell while touching Cronos' bracelet. The moon is still full even though it is late at night. Five counts passed and nothing happened. The old hermit looked at him. Rey just shrugged her shoulders.

The old hermit repeated the spell and touched Cronos' bracelet. Rey smiled silently. The Cronos bracelet was glowing brightly and getting brighter. Even changing color.

But the old hermit furrowed his brows. The wrist around the bracelet felt hot and stinging. He moves his hand. It still feels hot and like biting. He began to notice the bracelet, it seemed to shrink ?

The hermit glared. He made sure by trying to pull out the bracelet. It turned out to be true, the bracelet shrunk and could not be removed. He started to panic. The bracelet was getting hotter and stinging. The color is reddish orange.

Rey kept watching the hermit and the bracelet. He quietly absorbed the strength of the hermit through his bracelet. The bracelet was colored like a burning fire.

" Ssssshhh. He tried to take it off even though his hands started to blister. He ran to a big rock and hit the bracelet there.

" Ting.... Ting.... Ting. "it's useless. The bracelet was apparently not made from ordinary jade. But there was a spark of the souls of the Cronos ancestors.

" How old man, you said you could traverse space and time. What are you doing... ? " ask Rey.

" Aaaah. Toloong..... Help me get this bracelet off. "he's finally asking Rey for help.

Rey sighed and approached. It was almost touching but not so.

" It's so hot.... What happened ? Could your spell be wrong ? " ask Rey pretending to be horrified.

" Aaah.. I do not know... ssshhh.

" What spell did you say ? " ask Rey deliberately stalling. Cronos' bracelet still absorbed the ascetic's power.

" Mantra... time passer... uuuuhhh.

" Try saying upside down from behind" Rey said. Actually Rey does not know it is proven or not, after all, he is not the one who bears the risk. (He.he... )

The old hermit faltered reversing his spell. Rey quietly stopped her actions on the bracelet.

It appeared that the bracelet immediately turned bluish-white and came out on its own from the hands of the old hermit. Rey reached out her hand to let the bracelet slip into her wrist.

The hermit fell limp. His left wrist was blistered a bit. Rey grimaced at his condition.

" Why don't your hands experience like me ? " he wanted to know.

" I treat it as an ordinary bracelet that serves as a light when it's dark "Rey replied smiling innocently (pretending ).

The hermit looked at Rey and the bracelet with a feeling of disappointment and annoyance.

" I'm sorry, I have to go. See you again " said Rey before she disappeared. It enters into the space of its dimension. This time he was forced to release the old hermit temporarily. Rey wanted to know what the old hermit would do after this. For now the old hermit will not be able to recover perfectly until tomorrow afternoon. This Soul Bracelet from Cronos absorbed quite a lot of the ascetic's power.

("Xenia, how are you all doing ? " ) asked Rey.

(" Don't worry, Princess. We can handle it ") Xenia replied.

(" All right, I'll drive these girls home" Rey said.

Rey appeared above his soul lake. He floated towards the girls who were sitting under the apple tree.

" Are you guys okay ? " ask Rey.

The girls immediately got up.

" Yes, we're fine. You who ? " ask one of the girls.

" You're holding hands, I'm gonna get you out of here" Rey said, not answering the girl's question. They held each other and Rey touched the right shoulder of the girl.

Their eyes had already appeared on the field. There were shouts and calls from their families.

" Remember, don't be tempted again by stupid things that mean hoaxes" Rey said before they returned. One by one say goodbye to him.

" Thank you, miss ? "

" Hmmm.... "

Rey soon disappears and appears where her friends are fighting. He sat on the ground chair observing one by one. Only Xibo is a little lacking...

He took out his silver fan and threw it on Xibo. Xibo caught him and immediately kicked his opponent. They bounced back and attacked with poison smoke. Xibo scorched him then shot out and let out a huge fire from his mouth.

" Blaaazzz......... "

" Aaaaaah.

The other witch wanted to escape, but Xibo chased after her and hit her on the back with Rey's fan.

" Aarrgha..... "

Xibo hit everywhere and burned it down. When he finished, he went to Rey.

" Daughter, thank you for lending the fan "Xibo held out Rey's fan.

" Didn't Xenia give you a weapon ? " ask Rey. Xibo smiled shaken.

" What kind of weapon do you want ? " ask Rey.

Xibo thought as he tapped his own chin.

" May I ask for a sword that can be covered in fire ? " ask Xibo.

" Aaah. You are the same as Xenia, fire element. Give me a little of your fire "Rey put her left hand up

Xibo opened his mouth letting out a hint of fire. Rey took out a lump of sword material (iron, steel, silver) from the storage ring with her right hand.

Then recite the mantra while cupping the two materials in a closed palm. After the count of three, his open hand revealed a necklace with a sword-like pendant but its edges were like the shape of a flame tongue.

" When you fight, just touch this locket. You can channel fire to him. You can also use it without fire like an ordinary sword. Remember, don't abuse "Rey's message.

" Thank you "Xibo laughed happily.
