Tale of a Hedonistic wizard

Chapter 145: The next time, I will come for your head



Jaegar turned to Mia and Jack, his voice filled with determination. "Get these children to safety."

Mia and Jack nodded, leading the frightened children away from the violence that had consumed the facility.  No one stopped them under Jaegar's intense gaze, no one dared to.

In the grand halls of the Primal Atoll, the King took his seat at the head of a long table, flanked by his ministers.  The building was beside the ruined building, a single hall with high-end ceiling pillars supporting either side. It was a single building with no one present in it right now, except for the ones that entered.

Charlize, Jaegar, and Diana stood at the end of the table. Charlize advised Jaegar to remain silent for the moment, recognizing the sensitivity of the situation and the need to carefully navigate the upcoming discussions.

Diana, standing beside Jaegar, was likely offering her support as the events unfolded. The room buzzed with anticipation as everyone awaited the King's decision on how to handle the burgeoning crisis.

As the discussion unfolded, the King attentively listened to the accusations brought against Jaegar. They charged him with murder, but Jaegar was acutely aware that he had only inflicted injuries severe enough to incapacitate his assailants. His initial intent had been to avoid killing them, though now he questioned the wisdom of that choice.

Charlize's identity here as a lawyer helped the situation.

Charlize, acting in her capacity as a lawyer, interjected to defend Jaegar's actions. She argued that he had been forced to act in self-defence, emphasizing that his actions were driven by necessity rather than malice.

"He is a threat to the nation and to the people. How could people come onto the streets with him among them?" Laason said.  He had hidden himself until now, and after seeing the King, he came in with Brighton.

Jaegar was one who spoke, "Then all this time, I have been living among them. There was no harm done to anyone until you came, knocking on my door."

Brighton and Laason added their statements, saying that they should be eliminated.

The debate continued, growing more heated until Jaegar decided to take matters into his own hands.

With a dramatic crash, he shattered the table before him, causing his powers, accompanied by sparks of lightning and swirling chaos, to flare to life around his fingers.

Despite the intense situation, the King remained composed, his gaze fixed on Jaegar. It was a moment of profound tension, with the fate of everyone involved hanging in the balance.

In that room, charged with tension and brimming with ominous energy, a tempestuous display of power unfolded.

The very air crackled with red lightning, while above them, the sky hung heavy with dark, brooding clouds.

The room itself was enveloped in a swirling mixture of purple mist and fiery red lightning, an awe-inspiring spectacle that left those present utterly spellbound.

As the tempestuous display of power intensified, the ground beneath their feet trembled, causing small cracks to form on the floor. The sheer magnitude of the energy being unleashed was both terrifying and captivating, leaving everyone present on the edge of their seats, uncertain of what would happen next.

With an almost eerie calmness, Jaegar levitated in the air, his imposing figure poised before the king. Within the confines of that chamber, the sheer magnitude of his power was unlike anything anyone had ever witnessed. It was as though the elements themselves had bent to his will.

Jaegar slowly raised his hands on either side of him, a gesture that triggered a surge in the intensity of

the red lightning.

RUMBLE!!!

Thunder boomed and rumbled, reverberating through the room as cracks began to snake their way along the walls and ceiling.

Diana and Charlize just watched him, not able to stop him.

Jaegar wanted to kill everyone here, but he didn't want to make things difficult for his aunt, as she liked living here. He decided to show the might of his power, even if it meant revealing the world of magic.

He didn't like the feeling of being threatened and helpless. It was the feeling he hated the most.

The ornate chandelier, previously suspended from the ceiling, swayed precariously before plummeting downward, its crystal pendants glittering menacingly as they descended upon Jaegar.

In a dazzling display of control and might, Jaegar's lightning struck the chandelier, reducing it to ash in an instant. The remnants of the once-elegant fixture merged seamlessly with the swirling purple mist, adding to the otherworldly atmosphere within the room.

It was a power unlike any they had ever encountered, a fusion of abilities that defied imagination.

For the first time since this tumultuous encounter began, even the king himself could not contain his astonishment.

Earl, who had experienced the might of his parents' abilities in the past, now beheld their son weaving those same powers together, creating a destructive force beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

Jaegar's eyes blazed with an icy fire as he fixed his unwavering gaze upon Brighton, every word he spoke cutting through the room like a chilling wind.

With a voice that seemed to crackle with the very lightning that surrounded him, Jaegar issued a chilling warning. His words were charged with an intensity that left no room for doubt.

"I don't care what you do," he began, his gaze locked onto the king, "but from now on, if you ever lay a single hand on those children..."

As he drew nearer to the king, the air around them seemed to vibrate with the sheer power emanating from Jaegar.

He leaned in, his eyes locked onto the king's, and continued, his voice a low, menacing growl that sent shivers down everyone's spines. "I want you to understand the gravity of the situation. If you even think of harming them, your world will crumble beneath your feet."

He took a deliberate strode, his presence overwhelming, and continued, "I will become your darkest nightmare, a relentless storm that knows no end. Your days will be filled with dread and your nights with unspeakable terror. There will be no respite, no escape, for I will haunt your every waking moment until your kingdom lies in ruins."

In that moment, Jaegar's fingers snapped, and the world around them shifted. The entire building crumbled and fell, leaving them suspended in the midst of the chaos. But miraculously, the rubble did not descend upon them. Instead, a protective shroud of purple mist enveloped them, shielding them from the impending destruction.

In the wake of Jaegar's display of power, an eerie stillness settled upon the scene. The king and his entourage, along with Earl, could only watch in awe and trepidation as the young novoyant had asserted his dominance and issued a dire warning that would linger in their minds for a long time to come.

The room remained in a state of eerie silence, dust swirling in the aftermath of Jaegar's display of power, the lingering purple mist, and the faint, crackling lightning that still hinted at the storm that had just passed. No one present could deny the gravity of the situation.

With his warning hanging heavily in the air, Jaegar turned away from the stunned king and his trembling minions, his every step resonating with an air of unwavering determination.

He rejoined Diana and Charlize, his gaze never leaving Brighton, who couldn't shake the shiver that coursed through his spine.

The king, caught in a state of disbelief, watched Jaegar as he spoke to Diana, his mind grappling with the unprecedented challenge to his authority. He had never encountered a threat like this before, especially not from a mere teenager.

Jaegar's words hung in the air, a chilling reminder that he was not to be trifled with. The tension in the room was palpable, and the memory of Jaegar's fierce warning was etched into the minds of all who had witnessed it. They knew that he was not bluffing and that the consequences of defying him would be severe.

As Jaegar declared his readiness for potential bloodshed, it was clear that he had no intention of backing down. The room was left with a haunting sense of foreboding, a lingering sense that the world was about to witness a storm unlike any other, one that would leave a trail of destruction in its wake.

Jaegar, with his aunt Diana in tow, made his way out of the crumbling ruins of the once grand hall.

Charlize remained behind, determined to do what she could to address the situation.

The onlookers, including the king and his entourage, watched Jaegar's departure in silence, their fear obvious.

Before leaving, Jaegar turned back and said, "You can take my warning as a mere joke and try what you like. But be ready for the consequences."

"The next time I come, things won't be the same."
