Lyca and Archris both cast their attack spells, while Jake focused on the defensive side. He knew very well what Archris was capable of, and Lyca’s strength was not new to him, but their defensive sides were their weakness.Kranous charged towards them at very high speed. A loud, thunderous sound was even heard when he took his first step. The armored man appeared in front of Jake and was about to throw a punch, but he was dragged again by Lyca and was bound by Archris binding spell.But instead of getting weary, Kranous just smiled at them. He turned into a black smoke and appeared behind Jake, casting black lightning balls on his hands.“It’s a pity that you think you can defeat me with that cheap sealing magic,” Kranous said, smirking and making the lightning balls in his hands bigger. “Now, have a taste of this! black lightning barrage!” The black lightning balls floated in the air, they combined and released strong and bright lightning, which hit everywhere.“That’s some strong
Jake asked Archris to undo the golden chains. Archris did what he was told, and Anthony Smith’s body collapsed on the floor. He was panting and grunting, and he was in great pain. His lips were chapped and faded, and his skin was really dry.“I don’t feel anything special in him, Professor. Kranous really escaped us,” Archris said while panting. Then he fell on his buttocks and started to take deep breaths.Jake sighed deeply and went to his knees. He then cast a spell to heal Anthony, though he didn’t fully heal him. He just healed him enough for him not to die. Then he cast another spell to put him to sleep.Lyca returned to her normal form and walked towards them.“That was epic,” she said before shaking her head. “And epic failure.”“I am sorry. I was not strong enough for that magic,” Archris responded with his eyes on the ground.“He is strong. That’s all. Even with Damascus and Thalara before, it wasn’t an easy task to put that monster down,” Jake said. “We haven’t even seen hi
The next day, the news about Mr. Montero’s death spread like wildfire. Also, the damage that the mansion took went viral. As people speculated on a lot of theories on how that happened, the employees who worked there suddenly forgot what really happened there that day.And that left a lot of questions for the police to answer.Jake just went back to his normal daily routine. He attended meetings, signed papers, and checked the laboratory for any problems. Lyca and Archris were out to look for Kranous. He also asked Mikhael to assign someone to take a closer look at Julia Montero’s movements.He was about to get something for Ms. Hanson when someone knocked on his door. Then it opened, and Sebastian casually went inside. In his hand was a folder. He threw it on Jake’s table and sat on a chair in front of it.“Carla Vallero Drummond. That’s your mother’s name, right?"Sebastian said while checking the tips of his fingernails.Jake sighed and went back to his seat. He then looked at the p
“Whatever happens, just keep your cool, Jake. Don’t do anything foolish," the Aetherlock said to Jake as they were on their way to the police station.The police car he was in was escorted by military trucks, and two black cars were where his bodyguards were. And when they arrived at the police station, they were greeted by more reporters and people.“What the hell is this?"Jake whispered to himself while looking outside from the police car. “This is so embarrassing.”“Don’t you practice secrecy in your department?"Jake asked Cervantes. “Can’t you arrest someone without telling the media and the people?”The officer looked at him with sad eyes. “I am sorry, sir. Actually, we don’t know how this reached the media that fast.”Jake sighed and shook his head. He suddenly remembered what Kranous said before escaping—for him to make sure to get out of the coming mess. And he thought that Kranous was talking about what was happening right now.As their cars stopped, Jake’s bodyguards went do
Sebastian, Jonas, Gary, and a lawyer came to the police station. There were still a lot of reporters and soldiers outside, and when Sebastian came out of the car, he was thronged by the reporters. Luckily, the police and the military moved right away and were able to make a way for the CEO of the biggest pharmaceutical company in the country.“Where is he?"He asked Police Captain Cruz, glaring at the officer.“He is at the back. The investigation is still ongoing. We can’t release him right away,” the police captain replied.Sebastian exhaled forcefully and walked past the officer. He proceeded to the back of the building, where temporary prison cells were placed. And there, he saw Jake in one of the cells, sitting on the floor with closed eyes.“And you have the audacity to sleep at times like this, huh?"Sebastian said before kicking the bars that made a loud clunking noise.Jake slowly opened his eyes, looked in the direction of the noise, and there he saw Sebastian, frowning at him
“Now, give me that damn ring. Or everyone here will die,” Thalara said before raising his right hand in the air.Jake snickered and tilted his head while looking at the beautiful enchantress in front of him. “Do you really think that I care about the lives of these people, huh?”The woman smirked. “Acting tough, huh? I know you, Jake. I know that you fight for the people; for others, you give your life.”Jake scoffed before laughing out loud. “Do you think you’re the only one who has secrets? Yeah, I used to fight for others, but there is one thing unique about us earth people, and that is that we change, we adjust, and we evolve. And since I acquired the knowledge I need in Eldramoria, I realized that I should stop fighting for other selfish creatures.”He walked slowly, approaching his ex-wife.“Now, I fight for myself. I will fight for the life that I have now. After I eliminate all of you, I’ll live my life the fullest, unlike you, who became a slave of anger and desire for power.
Damascus was a top Eldramorian knight. He was known for his great combat skills and very strong swordsmanship, even at a very young age. He had led a lot of wars and won all of them. He was a superb war general with all the necessary skills. And he was once compared to the seven noble knights of the kingdom.He was also known for his brute strength and strong weapon magic, and people, especially women, loved him so much. He was celebrated, but not until Jake came into their world.Jake was welcomed by a family of ordinary mages, and right away, they discovered that Jake posed great potential. He was able to read magical books easily and perform even complicated spells in a short period of time. And the moment he entered the magic academy, he quickly learned a lot of strong magic spells. And he was compared to Damascus.The news about Jake reached Damascus, and he didn’t like the idea of being compared to an ordinary mage. So, he headed to the academy, and in the middle of the class, h
“This kind of pain makes you scream?"Jake asked while holding Damascus’ right middle finger. “You’re one of the best knights of Eldramoria, so why scream like a little girl?"Damascus, panting, glared at Jake with furious eyes. But the golden Python binding magic was getting tighter every time he tried to break free. He was not good with other spells such as elemental magic and dispel magic, so he couldn’t cast anything to help himself.Jake shook Damascus’ right middle finger. “Now, tell me. What’s your real reason for betraying me? Was it because of Thalara? What?”But Damascus just snickered while looking at him. “You’re really pathetic, Jake. I can’t believe you’re stronger than me. Why do you keep on asking the reasons for my betrayal? Does that stomp on your ego?”“No. So, I can decide whether I am going to kill you or not.”“You can read minds; why don’t you just read mine?"Damascus replied with a grin.“Because I want to hear it from your mouth. I want to hear the words that w
