Philein watched as the city burned to the ground. The cries of helpless humans filled the air. Mixed with the dimmer tune of those that are trying to fight their destiny – their death. There are pirates who are fighting back and holding out against the summoned monsters. There are mercenaries and adventurers doing the same thing as well.But all of these serves to do nothing more than delay the inevitable. They will still die. They will still get killed by the waves of monsters that seemingly has no end. They will still go through the pain and suffering of getting killed but, if they’re lucky, they might get killed quicker. With a stab to the heart or their heads getting torn off. Both of which are better options compared to the other forms of death that are ruthless to say the least.Blood fills the streets and it splatters as it paints the walls as well. The scent lingering in the air is that of human flesh that’s rotting and their insides that have been pulled out. The tremors of t

Philein passed through the portal, returning him to the domain of his master. A place that felt hostile towards him all of a sudden as the weight of his own body seemingly increased. Philein dropped down to his knees and it felt like all his bones and muscles are beginning to get crushed in that instant. His lungs are just the same, with the air within it suddenly feeling“I hope there’s a good explanation why you’re alone Philein.” His master said. This person is seated on a throne right in front of Philein. A poorly lit area that dimly shows the parts of the black armor of his master and the long black hair that this person has as well.“I left the two of them master.” Philein said in reply.He would lie to this person if he could but, unfortunately, that isn’t an option. His master isn’t a person that can be easily deceived. In fact, he doesn’t even think that this person can be deceived at all. One small lie would cost him his life and he does not like that kind of gamble at all.

Merlin knows that the curse won’t go away. If the enemy went through all the trouble to hide their identities, then there’s no way that they’d use a curse spell so weak as to break after a couple of activations. Worst comes to worst, Merlin will be left with two corpses of his former allies but nothing better than this.So then, what is the demon lord’s reason for forcing Lazaro and Kelzio to talk about their master? Simple. It’s torture. He’s merely giving them what they deserve. He’s giving them the pain and the suffering that both of them deserves. That’s why he’s making them go through the consequence of the curse over and over again. That’s also why he’s healing them both over and over again as well. So that they’d be in proper shape to take another beating of the curse.But he didn’t tell this to the two. Until that point, where he has already forced them to activate the curse twenty times over, Lazaro and Kelzio still hold on to the promise that they’d be freed.“You need to tr

“He’s really something else isn’t he.”Philein’s master sat on his high throne, watching the events within the fight of the demon lord against the two demonified humans. The two of them also watched as Merlin made a sight out of his targets. Binding them down and killing them slowly while talking with the master in the shadows. “Master, are you fine?”“Fine? Oh I’m more than just fine Philein. I feel fantastic.” The master’s lips widened into a grin. Philein has never seen his master in such a good mood. If anything it’s more alarming than reassuring. As if there are things that are about to come which shouldn’t yet. “We need to hasten with our plans, we can’t have him ruining anything before I get all the things I need.” The master said, confirming what Philein thought.However, it’s not like he can go against the wishes of his master. It isn’t that easy because his master will always push through with the plans that’s been set. “Yes master.” This is all that Philein said in repl

The Coven.This is the place where the monarchs of the five kingdoms come to meet for their annual summit. A large castle made of anti-magic materials. Preventing any of these monarchs from casting any life-threatening spells while, at the same time, making sure that no outside force will interfere while they hold their meeting.The high white walls cover the entirety of the structure, leaving only the top of the castle to be visible. And even this cannot be attacked for there is a barrier as strong as the one that defended Genesis City wrapped around it. This makes it almost impenetrable.This is also the place where the monarchs can hide in should there be threats to their lives from invasions or wars. That’s why the fortification of the Coven has reached a point where, even dragons have been tamed to defend it. All of which are waiting and slumbering within the walls of the same castle. Securing the monarchs who have begun their meeting.“You’re late.” King Mordred told King Pietro
