Unstoppable Antihero
Chapter 33: The Promise

During the day when the bloodshed occurred in Thanatos Desert, many people were silent to see the fierce fight between Atlas and Draco. The fight between the two Star Children is indeed not to be ignored, because it is very stunning and makes Seth and Nomos aware of the difference in their strength with the two people.

But that fight did not last long. At that moment, Felix moved towards the place where the fight was going on. He watched firsthand, the two Star Children with balanced strength were now lying in the sand unconscious. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately ran over and checked the state of Atlas.

“He's still breathing ...,” murmured Felix. Before lifting Atlas over his shoulder, he saw Menes coming, immediately taking Draco away without saying anything.

Even though Menes appeared to be quite badly injured, Felix simply ignored him, unwilling to chase after his opponent. Now the priority is to bring Atlas to the medical team.

Felix held Atlas on his shoulder, and took the sword that the young man was holding. He walked slowly towards the medical tent while enduring the injuries all over his body. Conditions like this do not make it too difficult, but indeed he felt the discomfort of enduring the pain that spread throughout the body.

...*** ...

The spacious room with a large table and rows of chairs on each side, had been filled with various types of food. The celebration comes a day after Atlas was discharged from the hospital.

On one of the chairs, Atlas sat while eating enough food. In the other seats there are Kaysen, Felix, Agatha, as well as other Vonturnus family—including Felix's parents.

After the meal was over, there was a conversation between Atlas and Moirai of Aither Vonturnus, Damon Vonturnus—ayah Felix. The conversation was only about a thank you from Damon for Atlas for being willing to accompany Felix in the battle in Thanatos Desert, although he did not return home as a winner.

Moments later, Felix suddenly stood up and said while lowering his body to Damon, “Dad, after thinking things through, I was finally convinced by my decision.”

Damon glanced at Felix for a moment, replying, “So so. Well, if that's your decision. But are you really sure you'll be stripped of your post as Keto from the Vonturnus Central Musai?”

“Iya, Father.” Felix then turned his eyes to the young man sitting next to Agatha. “I'm sure that Istvan will be a great Keto and will surpass me.”

“So much,” says Istvan. “I do not fit this position. Why did you suddenly give it to me?”

“Because your sister—Agatha will someday leave the Vonturnus family. So that you will be in charge of this Musai.”

“Haah ..” Istvan seemed dissatisfied with that answer. “You are the one appointed by father for this task, Brother. We're only here to help you, not replace you. You can't just let go of this post.”

“Istvan is right, Felix,” says the man who is slightly younger than Felix's father. He was Felix's uncle Thomas Vonturnus. “I understand your desire to serve the Libra, but also cannot give up your responsibilities.”

“Wait!” Atlas, who had been silent, spoke up. “What does that mean by serving me?”

Thomas, Damon, and the others glanced at Atlas in surprise. Seeing that, Felix then explained, “I've decided to follow you, Atlas. Didn't I ever tell you? This is the promise we made.”

“I never felt I ever agreed to it ..”

“You just forgot.”

“Haah .. do as you like.” Once again Atlas gave up and did not want to prolong the problem. After all, he was not sure that Felix would be able to leave his post as Keto now.

“You agree, right, Istvan?” ask Felix again.

“Not at all,” replied Istvan. This young man was indeed very different from most noble children who wanted to obtain the post. He's not even a little interested in that.

“Ayolah ..., Istvan. I'm sure you'll be able to handle this.”

Since Felix and Istvan have not been able to get a decision, finally their mother—Brisia Vonturnus spoke up, “How about this?”

Instantly all eyes are directed at the same point, namely Brisia. Everyone shut their mouths to wait for the woman to finish her sentence.

“For a while, Felix can go with Mr. Atlas, then Istvan will be a temporary Keto during the trip,” continued Brisia.

“It was still very troublesome,” complained Istvan.

“Take it easy, Istvan,” reply Agatha. “Kakak will help you.”

For all the persuasions, finally the decision was obtained. Although it is still not sincere, Istvan undertakes, “Alright. However, Brother Felix must return soon or I will fuse the Vonturnus Central Musai with the Frike Musai.”

“You really are a high-level slacker, yes, Istvan ...,” Felix said. “But alright, I will visit often and carry out my duties.”

“Don't forget to always bring a hand.”

“Good, well, my little sister.”

The conversation ended after reaching a conclusion. They then began to exit the dining room, heading in different directions.

Atlas, Kaysen, and Felix decide to get out of the mansion. At first Atlas did not know where to go, until Felix finally said, “By the way, King Alexander Caesar called me to the palace. Are you interested in coming with me?”

“King Alexander Caesar?” murmuring Atlas. “I'm a little curious about him, but I don't want him to end up acting to rule me as he wishes.”

“He is very likely to do that,” Kaysen said. “I mean, he is indeed that type. Maybe it was already inborn.”

“And his ambitions also feel ridiculous,” Felix timpal. “Haah ..”

“Either why my expectations were instantly shattered when you said such things about him.” Atlas put on a flat face.

“Indeed it should not be too hopeful,” Felix asserts.

A new journey has now been determined, heading to the Royal Air Palace to meet King Alexander Caesar. This name made Atlas a little curious, he even imagined the face and body of the king like Nero Caesar—, an emperor he killed in his first life.

“Omong-by ..” Atlas suddenly thought of something. “He invited us to the palace not to punish us for failing in that war, right?”

“Ah, I also just thought about it,” said Felix, starting to imagine the worst situation that might happen. “What if he suddenly wants to execute us?”

“No, no, no,” Shall Atlas. “What if he tortures us for life?!”

Seeing his two colleagues thinking silly things, Kaysen said, “That's impossible. At most he'll only ask us a thing or two. Although I myself do not know what he will ask.”

“It seems obvious that he will torture us in prison for life ...” Felix sat down and streaked the ground with his finger.
