Leon stood in front of the long sword stabbed in the ground . The exclusive butler standing next to him as he instructed him to place his hand on the sword :
"Young Master Leon , please place your hand on the Sword Of Stars"
Leon placed his hand on it without any hesitation . The sword started to glow as soon as he placed his hand on it . The glow started from the base of the sword and continued upward . As the golden glow was rising , a unique kind of aura eminated from Leon .
Crackling----
Dark clouds gather unnaturally fast in the sky, swirling above him like a vortex. The air becomes thick with static, every breath sharp and electric . Suddenly there's a deafening crackling as a lightning bolt strikes dangerously close. Sparks fly, setting dry grass ablaze. The temperature shifts rapidly — hot and cold waves hitting the surroundings — as if the atmosphere can't decide how to stabilize.
A single massive lightning bolt shoots from the sky, striking him — but instead of harm, the energy flows into him, and he screams as power surges through every nerve, igniting his awakening. The power released was much more devastating than it was for Luke .
The golden glow in the sword was still rising . It crossed the position where it stopped for Luke . It reached the hilt of the sword and still continued to rise as the whole sword including the blade and the hilt glowed in a bright golden colour . The golden holographic screen displayed once again as it showed the ability name and rating .
'T1-level lightning ability : Sun-devouring Divine Thunder'
The whole hall was in an uproar . Even the people in the balcony were surprised for a little while .
'Am I seeing this right ?'
'Y..Yes , it's definitely it . A T1-level ability'
'The Skyfall family has a T1-level ability user ?'
'I can't believe it'
The reason for this uproar is simple . T2-level abilities are the peak superpowers in the Universe . The people with T2-level abilities reach the realm of Universe God but there is another realm beyond it . That is the realm of T1-level abilities . They possess more potential than T2-level ability users and the most important part is that these abilities are unique .
Every elemental ability in the Universe only has a single T1-level ability and once received they will be the sole inheritor of the ability and no one will be able to possess the same ability until the previous user dies . 'Sun-Devouring Divine Thunder' is the T1-level lightning ability and the only ability of this level for lightning element .
There won't be another person with Sun-devouring Divine Thunder until Leon dies .
The discussions were going on as Leon was staring in the air in front of him . The reason being a holographic screen has appeared before him in the air . It displayed some writing in the universal language which is the common language of the universe . Leon naturally understood the things written on it .
[Sealed Eternal Heart detected]
[Dark Black System is activating]
[System is activated]
[You can access the system's full authority]
[System has scanned your body]
[Detected 'Sky God' bloodline inside you]
[Awakening your original bloodline]
'Sky god bloodline ?'
'The superior bloodline ? What is this ?'
'Does the original bloodline means the special bloodline ?'
Leon was in thought when he felt something in his body . Suddenly , his heart started to beat faster inside him . Each beat was growing faster and faster as it could be heard from outside as well . In the next moment , a heart wrenching scream eminated from Leon's body .
The whole hall which was still bustling suddenly became silent . The scream which came from Leon was enough to stop the distinct chatters . Leon fell on the ground as he clenched his chest tightly as if unable to bear the pain . Alice was the first to get up as she rushed to Leon's side .
She crouched next to him and held him in her hands . She noticed Leon's face . His eyes were like glass marbles without a sign of life but his heart was still beating . The heart beat was so loud that even those who weren't close to him could hear his heart beat . Catherine also rushed as she held Leon's hand steadily .
Everyone in the hall had a face of worry and anxiousness . Leon is the eldest in the next generation apart from his sister and the other thing is that he just awakened the T1-level ability . If he dies , then it would be a huge loss for the Skyfall family which they cannot bear .
Alice who held Leon was asking continously :
"Leon , are you okay ?"
"What happened to you ?"
Her face was full of worry . Catherine was like she would cry any minute now . The people sitting in the balcony also jumped as they floated in the air and came down slowly . The first to reach near Leon was Cliff himself . He just looked at Leon's face for a few seconds and understood the thing which has happened to him but he was also secretly shocked as well . He instantly sent a mental message to someone .
In the next moment , the space cracked as a deep void was formed in the space . The surrounding space broke like fragile glass and a very stunningly beautiful lady came out from it . She was 70% the same as Catherine and Alice while 60% same as Leon and Liam . She was the wife of the family head and also the mother of the four children . She had blonde hair which fell on her forehead as well . Her eyes were striking amethyst colour and it looked like they were as deep as the space itself . She walked with steady steps and stood beside her husband .
The other people of the hall bowed their heads as well and greeted her :
"Greetings to the Lady of Skyfall family !!"
She nodded her head slightly as the others stood up . She looked towards Cliff and asked in a elegant and sweet voice .
"Cliff , do you know what happened ?" asked Evelyn Reinhart (Lady of the Skyfall family [Universe Venerable Peak])
"I do "
"Tell me "
"Later . First , isolate the space around him"
"Alright" replied Evelyn with a sigh in her heart .
She looked towards Leon and the two girls as she said :
"Alice and Catherine . Move away from him"
"B..But..Mother" Catherine's voice sounded first .
"I will take care of him . Move for now"
They listened to her instruction as they moved . Evelyn raised her hand as the space isolated around Leon .
….
These things were happening outside but Leon who was unconciousness couldn't sense these . He could only sense the changes inside his body . The feeling felt like his whole being was being strengthened . His muscles , tissues , bones , meridians , brain and even his cells around his body was being destroyed and reformed . His blood also started to purify . The red blood inside him seperated from some black particles and liquids as the blood became more fresh . The blood which was normal was now having a slight golden glow .
On the outside , his skin became more smoother and white . His hair which was originally golden in colour started to change into a silvery white colour . His height started to increase as his body became more defined and strong . The black substances were being released from his body through the pores on his skin as it evaporated the instant it came out .
Suddenly , there was a large amount of silver coloured [Aether] which eminated from his body and directly broke the spatial isolation he was contained within . The hall was covered in dust and wind waves . Some lightning sparks eminating as well . When the dust settled , Leon was standing on the podium .
His body grew from 1.95 m to 1.97 m and his hair turned silver . His skin was fairer . His face was much more stunning from before . The air becomes thick with static, every breath sharp and electric. Small arcs of lightning dance across his skin, leaving faint glowing lines that vanish after a second . He opened his eyes . The amethyst hue eminated from his eyes gave him an ethereal feeling .
Another wave of [Aether] was released from Leon's body as the shockwave crossing them could be felt by them . The strength wasn't much but it was enough to slightly knock down some weak Starlight Rank people .
"Leon , are you alright ?" asked Alice with a worried expression .
"Yes" Leon nodded slightly . His actions relieved a great weight from her chest as she released her breath .
"Leon , how do you feel ?" a deep and cold voice sounded as Leon looked over . He saw that Cliff was standing there with hands behind his back .
"I feel stronger . It seems I have already broken through to the Second Order" Leon just said those words but it was fell like a heavy stone on the surroundings people . They also have awakened their talent at the same age as Leon but they only were able to reach Second Order after a year of diligent cultivation . But this kid had already reached that level .
Cliff slightly nodded as if this was within his expectation . Evelyn who was watching all this could not wait any longer as she asked him :
"Cliff , do you know what is going on ?"
"I do know" Cliff said lightly .
"What is it ?"
"He awakened the special bloodline"
This was another surprise for the people around , even Alice couldn't help but be surprise . She who also possess the special bloodline naturally knew more than the people around . First , this bloodline doesn't awaken as soon as you awaken your talent but it awakens when your body has already suited with the awakened superpower . Second , she also experienced a rise in her cultivation base but it was only from lower First Order to upper First Order . It was completely different from Leon .
"So , does the increase in this much cultivation normal ?" asked Evelyn with a curious look .
"No , it's not . Awakening your bloodline right after your superpower is in itself an impossible thing" replied Cliff .
"Then …." Evelyn continued but was interrupted by Cliff .
"But , there is one person who did the same thing Leon did . Although not at a level which Leon achieved"
"Who ?"
"I'll tell you later . Just remember , the person was not simple either" said Cliff as the corners of his mouth raised slightly .
He then looked towards Leon with his indifferent eyes as his cold voice sounded once again .
"Leon , I won't provide you with any special care just because you are special"
"The rewards for awakening your bloodline will be the same as alloted"
"I understand" replied Leon with the same indifferent look .
"But , I need you to do something" said Cliff .
Leon looked up at him with curious eyes . Cliff slightly nodded as he continued .
"You will be given 3 years time . Reach Fourth Order within that time and enter the Celestia Nexus Academy "
