Erik's gaze wavered, unable to meet Amber's fiery eyes.
The weight of guilt made it impossible for him to face her.
His eyes darted around the room, avoiding her intense stare.
His hesitant posture and uneasy eyes revealed the burden of his actions. Upstodatee from
But then he sighed. "I don't know what Noah did exactly tell you. He knows why I did everything, but I bet he kept out part of the reason."
To that, the others looked at him. It was clear what Noah said wasn't the whole truth, maybe because of guilt, or maybe for other reasons, but Noah made it clear he wasn't saying everything.
Since the Blackguards were searching for the biological supercomputer, and considering he already showed a lot of powers to his enemies, to Erik, it no longer made sense to hide the truth to even his friends.
That was especially true since they were now involved in the war against them.
"Two years ago, after another day of bullying, I got a visit. My father came back. But I already told you that."
The others nodded. That was not something new, as he shared that with them back at the Red Palace.
"What I never told you. What I told no one is that he brought something with him."
The group leaned forward. It was clear what Erik was going to say was important.
Intrigued, they stared at Erik. Everyone's posture changed, showing their keen interest in his words.
While they were aware of Erik's possession of multiple brain crystal powers, what they didn't know was that he had got them by stealing from other creatures.
"When you say creatures," Gwen said, "You aren't only referring to thaids, right?"
"Indeed."
A heavy silence descended. When Floyd saw Erik's power back when he took the guild's test to increase his rank, the same test that made him famous in Etrium.
He thought his powers were awfully similar to some he had already seen. Of course, he said that to the others.
"Did you kill Nathaniel?" Gwen asked.
"I did." Erik didn't sugarcoat his words. "But that was self-defense. While I was escaping from the Blirdoth attack on New Alexandria, this douchebag and his hired thugs came after me. He wanted to kill me. What was I supposed to do, let him?" Erik sounded really mad this time.
"I wasn't imply—"
"And what were you implying, Gwen?"
Erik was forced to interrupt his friend. Gwen had always been slightly guarded against him.
"Erik," Mickey chimed in. "If what you're saying is true, that means his father attacked us because of you. People died because of that. Anderson was one of them. He was your friend."
Without a doubt, that was a truthful statement. Erik was fully conscious of that fact. He should not be held liable for the deeds of that insane person.
"Maybe I caused it, but I'm not to blame for what he did. Also, I was there with you all to rescue the hostages, remember? I knew it was my fault, and I did what I could to save everyone. You already know that."
However, the others were getting agitated, especially Aaron. "Yes, that is true, but by then, you should have had many powers. Why didn't you use them to save him? Why you didn't save everyone?"
Silence returned. That was a natural question. If Erik had many powers, why didn't he use one to save Anderson? Many of the deceased were their highschool peers, some of whom they trained and laughed with. They were not insignificant.
