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
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
About half an hour before the appearance of the skeleton soldiers.“Did we really defeat Kranous?” Butler asked while they were walking fast down a spiral of concrete stairs. “I won’t say defeat; that one was a hell of a monster,” Falco replied. “But I am pretty sure that we hurt him so badly. Look aroundus;, hisdomain hasn vanished already.”“But the questions are, where are we heading, and is that young man on your back still alive?” Hansel asked while keeping his eyes behind them, making sure that nobody was following them. “He just lost consciousness,” Falco replied right away. “He used so much magic power that it was almost drained.”“Well, that’s good,” Hansel answered back.“But what bothers me now is that the strong aura of a thousand mages from the bottom of this place just vanished, that was…” Butler commented. “That was impossible,” Falco interrupted. “Also, I felt two to three more strong presences down there, but then they also vanished in an instant. And not only did
Archris tried to free himself from the giant serpent that was coiling around him. But he couldn’t do anything. He tried to cast a spell, but nothing happened. And that was the time he realized that the snake was more of a sealing magic that prevented his magic aura from coming out.He looked around again. He knew that what he was seeing was just a mere illusion and that he needed to get out of there as fast as he could.“My illusions aren’t just illusions. They are made of your experiences and fears, and they make sure that the victim gets the best of it! ”He moved his head from left to right. His breathing was fast as he looked for the source of the voice he heard, but he didn’t see anything. Nobody was there.“Mortals can be easily swayed by their emotions and memories, and that leads them to their death. And my illusions control emotions. Now, I hope you enjoy the show!”“Damn you! Stop hiding! Show yourself and fight me!”“I am working on it with the knights as well, so I don’t h
Jake gathered the seven noble knights, Lyca, Caroline, Archris, and Eleazar, inside the mansion. The walls were destroyed, but still, that would be the best place for them to have a meeting. Lyca then asked Amarha and Archana to send a telepathy message to everyone saying that they could relax for a while, but they couldn’t leave their posts.While they were on their way to the mansion, their attention was caught by two military helicopters flying over the place. Jake used his enhanced vision to see who was in the chopper, and he saw armed snipers and a machine gun. He did not know what they were planning, but he could sense that they were not completely allies.As soon as they took shelter in the ruined mansion, Jake asked Lyca and Caroline about what happened. The two ladies answered right away, telling him about the skeleton soldiers who suddenly appeared and attacked them and how the three noble knights helped them fight those monsters.They also informed Jake about Mabelle and t
“Why are you here? Why didn’t you go to the evacuation area?" Jake asked Sebastian as he poured some whiskey into a glass. He then put the bottle of liquor on the center table, where Caroline put glasses for everyone there.Sebastian sighed as he looked at Jake. “I thought it'd be best to stay here. I mean, I have to protect this place. At least.” He said that, then he took one of the glasses and poured himself some whiskey.“But the situation is now beyond dangerous, Sebastian. Even if you stay here and guard this building, you won’t survive the power of the enemies,” Jake responded.“Even so,” his stepbrother said. “I can’t just leave this place. This is the only thing I have, Jake, and you know that.”Jake didn’t respond to that. He understood Sebastian very well. They actually shared the same sentiment about the company. But for him, life is more important than anything else. He knew it as someone who had died twice already.“Hey, what are you guys drinking? Some alcohol?" Falco a
