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,
“Didn’t you know that you won’t be able to use the power of this ring if you’re not chosen to?"Jake asked while looking straight at Thalara. “I know, but once the current owner of it dies, it has no choice but to look for another user,” the woman replied. “But how can you be so sure that the ring will let you have its powers?"“I am not sure. But at least I could try. And even without the power of Aetherlock, I’ll be able to finish my plan. Because at this moment, Tharanos is about to be unsealed.”Jake frowned as he leaned closer to the apparition. “What did you just say?”Thalara smirked before she glided away from Jake. “Tharanos is coming, Jake. And it doesn’t matter now if they have discovered that I was the one behind that old Montero’s murder. Once they arrest me, the doom of this world will begin.”The woman’s apparition started to gradually disappear. Jake cast a spell to stop her from leaving, but nothing worked. “You need a massive amount of magic energy to unseal that m
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
The blue goblins, widely known as blue soldiers, were a group of ferocious goblins serving under Tharanos. They were not tall; they were like more than half of a normal human, but they had big and strong calves, which helped them to move faster than anyone or anything. And they could also create this scary little child sound when they laugh. During Tharanos’ reign in Eldramoria, these blue soldiers played a big role in wreaking havoc, especially in cities and towns. And Jake used to hate them, as they always gave him headaches on the battle field. “Just go,” Eleazar said while looking at the monsters in front of them. “These were sent to slow you down. So just go and find a way to the bottom of this place.”“But these are not your ordinary goblins, Eleazar. They are more like assassins, and they don’t just kill you; they love to torture their prey until they die in their hands,” Jake replied with gritting teeth. “But we are not ordinary as well,” Eleazar replied with confidence. “W
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
Karlow jumped away when he noticed the six knights were on their feet already. Their eyes were pitch black, with a red aura coming out of their bodies. He looked at them. He could sense strong magic energy from them, but there was no life force. He then realized that what Jake and Archris told him was right. The six knights grunted, and they all cast a spell at the same time. Same hand weavings and spells. Karlow was familiar with that spell, so he jumped twice away from his position and positioned the swords in front of him. “Sir Karlow." The one on the left side talked. The one with long blonde hair and light blue armor. He was the eagle knight, Falco. “It’s nice to see you again.” Then the armor became brighter, and a bright blue helmet appeared to protect his head.“But unfortunately, this is a bad reunion,” the one with brown, short, curly hair said. He had tanned skin and was wearing orange and shiny armor. He was the fox knight, Hansel. Then his fists became covered with sco
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
The evacuation of the people was a success, though there were some who were hard to talk about what was happening and the reason why they had to evacuate.The police force and some military forces did a great job of securing everyone in the evacuation center. Lyca even sent some of the Vipers and Wolves over the evacuation area to oversee and make sure that nobody would get hurt.However, as the fight in the mansion was getting deeper, the attention of the media, reporters, and even vloggers from different places was caught by the huge evacuation. And in just a short period of time, they were able to get to the city and the evacuation area.The Vipers and the police tried to drive them away from the evacuation area, but they didn’t listen, and some even risked being imprisoned just to get the information they wanted.Meanwhile, Lyca and the rest of the mages were still in their positions, still looking out for what and who was going out of the mansion. She was about to get down to giv
