Jake could not stop thinking about what he learned about his mother last night. He was amazed by how powerful his mother was, but that also put worries in his mind. Especially that the Aetherlock confirmed what he had in mind—that he could also be evil anytime. It was early in the morning, and the sun had not gone up when he teleported to his office. He looked outside, and he saw protesters who were still there despite the chilling weather. He started checking his email, and it was full of messages from the board of directors, worried about what was going to happen to the company. They were already angry and asked Jake to meet them tonight before they made their own decisions.Those emails made Jake sighed as he slumped himself in his chair. Then he took his phone and checked the messages there, and what he saw there made him exhale more deeply. He received several messages from Archris, telling him that the Vipers and the Wolves were now having a hard time going out to the public,

The people were shocked when they received the order from the mayor that they had to evacuate. Many speculations were brought up on social media sites, and because of that, what was happening there immediately reached the mainstream media. However, the military force that the mayor had authorized prohibited the media from taking videos. They confiscated the cameras and even destroyed some of those who didn’t want to follow. The 10-kilometer radius was too long, and it would reach the neighboring cities. But the mayor didn’t ask Jake anymore; he called the other mayors and told them the situation. It reached the defense minister, and they immediately helped in evacuating the people. Jake just finished changing his clothes from his formal attire to jeans and a black hoodie. He was still in his office, looking at the situation in the city. He could see the movements of the people and the police, and he was just waiting for Archris’ call. Also, he was trying to track the magic energy

Lyca quickly jumped into the ruined mansion, where Eleazar lost consciousness. She commanded the Vipers to remain in their positions and not let anybody escape from the underground. Then she quickly took Eleazar to where Caroline was. “You did great. You’re really cool, Eleazar,” Caroline said, then kneeled and started healing the man. Eleazar opened his eyes a little and looked at her. "Stop; you’re making me blush. I actually didn’t expect myself to use those snakes without dying. Thanks to you.”Caroline smiled back, and she continued to heal the man. “Amarha, Archana, what’s happening down there?” Lyca asked the twins, whose eyes were closed, watching what Jake and the others were doing.“They are in a very huge room. It’s dark in there, but thanks to Archris, they could search around," Amarha said. “A huge room? What exactly is in there?” Lyca asked.Archana shook her head. “I am not really sure. To be honest, we can only see them, but their surroundings are blurred. It’s lik

Bruce was looking at his hands as he moved his fingers. He couldn’t believe that he could feel and control his hands again. He stomped on the floor, and he gasped when he felt his legs. Ruphan approached him and patted him on the shoulder. “We’re back. He brought us back to life, and he freed us from the spell.” Her eyes were watery as she looked at the dragon knight. Bruce shook his head. Then he ran towards where Karlow was lying. The five other knights circled around them, looking concerned and with puffy eyes. The dragon knight’s armor disappeared as he put Karlow on his arms. “Sir Karlow. Wake up, please.” But the man didn’t respond. “It’s over,” Kram, the boar knight, said. “He used that life-draining magic on the five of us. He was ready to die for us.”“No.” The fox knight fell on his knees. “This is unacceptable. The one who did this should pay!”Bruce was about to talk when he felt a very little life energy from Karlow. He also felt a weak pulse coming from him. “Wait g

Ruphan created a huge barrier in front of them, and the skeletons stopped moving. They were just grunting as their eyes kept on blaring brightly.“The serpent knight of Eldramoria,” Lyca said as she slowly reverted back to her human form. “But how? You’re dead.”Ruphan turned around and faced them. “It’s a long story, Wolf. What you should focus on now is your safety. I mean, this binding spell won’t last long, and these monsters will devour us any moment later.”Lyca exhaled and looked around. She jumped up on a boulder and looked for her men. And a sign of relief was seen on her face when she saw that the mages were safe.“Don’t worry. Two of my comrades came to help them, too. They are stronger than me, so for sure, everyone’s safe. But, like I said, we can’t just sit back. Also, we need you to help us heal our lion knight.”“You mean, Sir Karlow?"Lyca exclaimed as she jumped down from the boulder.“Yes. Do you know him, Wolf? ”“My name is Lyca. Stop calling me a wolf.”“My apolog
