Slade drove towards the shabby building. He pulled over right in front of the building. There was an unusual atmosphere that greeted him. It wasn't of hostility, but he wasn't entirely comfortable with it. When he walked into the building, he saw a couple of elderly women surrounding the man on the bed. They all made a circle around the man. The man on the bed was sitting. He seemed to be having a conversation with the women. The faces of the women were solemn and moody. Whatever the man was telling them must be something either scary or sad. Slade remained at the door, staring directly at the old man, Ihara. Some of the words of the men started flowing in his direction. "The head of the axe then flew away. Right in that same moment, the beast was charging. It was coming with full speed, but there I stood, helpless, as I watched death racing in my direction. There was no way I could have escaped the beast. Its speed was beyond what I have ever experienced. When I realised the weig

Slade jumped on his feet when he heard this. He couldn't believe his ears. He didn't care that he was supposed to act cool as an immortal mage who had seen it all. He allowed the shock wave to hit every corner of his brain. "The Sceptre?" Slade asked, his eyes almost popping out of his face. "Do you know him?" Ihara was equally surprised by the way Slade had reacted after hearing the name. "You look very surprised."Slade had to hold back the shock wave for a moment. He couldn't compromise the most important thing he had been searching for all along. Finally, he had gotten a solid lead that could potentially take him to the Spectre, he couldn't be patient anymore. Although, he knew that patience was the best bet for this situation. "Where is he?" Slade hit the nail on its head.Ihara, who still not understanding how serious the situation had become, was staring at Slade as though Slade had something unusual on his face. "I can't tell you precisely where he is." Ihara confessed.

The light that came on made Slade aware of where he was. Opposed to how this place seemed earlier, it was actually a well furnished modern living room of a fully detached duplex. Not only was the building beautiful, but its interior was just perfect.Slade began to wonder how so much darkness had been registered earlier that he found himself here. It didn't take him too much time to come to an obvious conclusion. It was just mainly because the man must have shielded the entire space in deep darkness to his own advantage. "You?" The old man's shocked voice snapped Slade out of the thoughts. Slade's gaze was restored on the man's face. There was a big wave of shock flowing from one corner of the man's face to the other. "But I just killed you." The man argued. "That's right." Slade nodded, walking towards the man, "You just killed me. But that was my clone." "A clone?" The old man's jaws dropped when he heard this. It's been several years since he heard that word. It didn't always

The creatures started walking towards her. As they walked towards her, she moved to the back. The closer they walked, the cautious Ivana was. When Ivana had thought about having an opponent, she had thought of having someone worthy. But she didn't think that a nuclear bomb could be presented at a gun's fight. Bagyls were types of Satyrs. Satyrs were creatures that were half human and half goat. They mostly have the bodies of humans. From their head to the waist is the body of a man, while down the waist to the legs were that of a goat. Ivana had thought naturally that these creatures were mere Satyrs. But coming to discover that they were more than this took her by surprise. In her life, she had fought a lot of creatures and had defeated them, Satyrs included. But Bagyls? She had never even seen them let alone fight them! This was why she was being very cautious around these creatures. She didn't know what these creatures were capable of. If she knew she would have been preparing

Araguta stood at the front of the blazing fire. The body of Slade was burning at his feet. His eyes were keen on the body as though he was expecting anything unusual to happen out of the blue. He didn't have to set the clone on fire because the clone had dissolved not long after he had attacked the main body. Also, not long after he attacked the main body, he had dragged the body out of his house to the garden at the back. There, he had taken a cup of fuel and bathed the corpse in it. After which he lit blue flames from his fingertip and threw it at the body. Although the body had taken a long time to burn into ashes, proving that the man that he had just killed was not just a mere human! If it was a mere human, he would have felt bad. In fact, when he started out burning the corpse of Slade, if the flame burned a part of the body, then the body would renew its flesh and look even more beautiful and clear. Araguta had been scared witless by this. Even though he wss blind in both
