Jake woke up in a very black and dark place. It had no beginning and no end. There was nothing there except darkness. He sat up and squinted his eyes, trying to think where he was. “You’re finally awake, huh?” A familiar voice spoke behind him. He quickly turned around, and there he saw a tall man with short, frizzy black hair, pale skin, and a huge burn scar on the left side of his face. The man was wearing a black suit and shirt.Jake quickly stood up and jumped back away from the man. “Who are you?”The man burst out laughing. “I didn’t know you were a scared cat, Jake. Don’t worry, I can hurt you here in your dream.”“Who are you?!”“Relax,” the man said while smiling at him. “I am Dragon, and it’s nice to meet you.”“What?”He stepped back again, then cast a spell, but nothing happened. “I told you, we’re in your dream,” the man replied. “Both of us cannot use magic here.”Jake paused and tried to remember what happened last time. And he recalled that he collapsed after getting
Jake ordered Archris to keep an eye on the incident, allegedly involving the Wolves. He also asked his former student to roam around the city and look for any marks of the Dragons. Archris also told him that Anthony and his men had also escaped from prison and were already missing. That made Jake scratch his head, and he just asked Archris to assign at least two people to look for Anthony and his men.“They are probably with the Dragons now,” Jake said. “Anthony is knowledgeable about science and pharmacology. He also has a big influence in the black market. He will be a good asset for them, if ever.”“Okay. I’ll do my best to find them, Professor,” Archris replied.“One more thing: please lend me at least four of your men. Those who can use binding magic and can build barriers,” Jake said. “I need them to protect the mansion.”“Sure thing, I’ll send them right away.”Jake approached Archris, and he messed up the young man's hair. “Don’t be too hasty, kid. The next time you explode,
Jake sat on his bed and thought of what was going on. A lot of things were happening; different villains were appearing before him, and they suddenly wanted to destroy the city and the world. And now, a powerful wizard who betrayed Eldramoria suddenly appeared in his world. He grimaced as he recalled his fight with that man. It was one of his bloodiest and most gruesome fights in that world, and it was a painful memory for him because that man used to be a friend of his.He then teleported to his office and started to work. They received a lot of orders from their city hall, other cities, and the national government. He even had a meeting scheduled with the health minister and the mayors of the affected cities. “Do we still have stocks?” he asked Sebastian. But Sebastian didn’t answer. He just stared at Jake with an open mouth.“Hey, I am asking you,” he followed up.“What are you? Three days ago, I was already celebrating because I thought you were going to die, and now you are he
Five days passed, and still nothing bad happened. There were no updates or news about the Dragons, and the city government started to restore their destroyed buildings and facilities. A facial composite of Dragon and the Lion Knight were scattered around the city, aired on televisions, and posted on all social media sites. They were all considered to be wanted, as well as the other criminals who escaped from prisons. And there was a hefty amount of money on their heads. The city held a memorial ceremony for the victims of the officers and rescuers who were killed during that incident, which they called The Terror Night. It was not only for the fallen heroes of the city but also for everyone who died during that terrible incident. The lockdown was still going on, and sadness and despair can still be seen on the people’s faces, but they just continued their lives. Stores and shops opened again. However, schools remained suspended. And stores were just allowed to open until 6 p.m. From
Orion burst out laughing. He then moved his burning right hand closer to Carmilla's head. The fire began to burn Carmilla's hair, and he closed his eyes as he sniffed the smoke.Carmilla tried to move, but she couldn’t even flinch.“The smell of burning hair is really addictive,” the man said while smiling. “But do you know what’s more addictive? The smell of burning bodies and the scream of the one on fire."Carmilla’s tears started to fall as she still tried to move her body.“Stop it! I am the one who brought her here. Just punish me and let her go,” Aaron butted in.Orion turned his gaze towards him. “What? You think I’m stupid? I’ll let her go, and then she will tell Archris about this. Then Archris will tell Jake Drummond about this. No, you won’t go anywhere.”Aaron sighed and glared at the man. He knew that there was only one way for them to escape, and that was for Zark to dispel the binding magic used on them. But he couldn’t see Zark upstairs.Then Orion started to make hi
It was already midnight, and Jake was already in bed. But his eyes were still wide open, and many things were rushing through his mind. He was feeling tired, but his mind was telling him that he didn’t have any right to fall asleep. He sat up and leaned his back against the headboard of the bed. And he started thinking about what was going on. He could still feel the dense, evil magic in the air, but he couldn’t really pinpoint where it was coming from. He took the brief case where he put the Eldratome, and he took the book. He tried to open it, but he couldn’t. “Eldratome, please talk to me. I need answers!” he pleaded as he was trying to open the book. “Why are the people of Eldramoria gradually showing up here?”“It’s because of the Eldramorian prophecy.”Jake’s eyes widened. “Finally, you answered!”“It’s because you woke me up! I was already sleeping, you scum!”His eyebrows knitted because of the book’s attitude, but he controlled his temper and asked another question. “You
Jake and Archris teleported to the cemetery. They saw where the battle happened, but they didn’t see the body of Orion there. Though there were droplets of blood going inside one of the mausoleums.Jake looked at Archris, who simply nodded his head. Then they dashed inside the mausoleum, where they noticed the set of stairs Aaron and Carmilla had mentioned. He took the lead, and they tiptoed until they reached the bottom of the stairs. The door was closed, so he forced it open with a strong front kick. However, it was dark there, and they couldn’t see anything. He signaled Archris to back him up. He touched his right temple to enhance his senses, but he couldn’t feel anything there. There was nothing in there—not even a single life force. Archris started to roam around, and he grinned widely when he saw the electrical breakers. He quickly switched it on. The generators started to buzz, then the lights came on. And their jaws dropped when they saw what was in the room. It was simil
Karlow swung the broadsword like it was nothing. He jumped fast and high, leaving dust behind him, and in a flash, he slammed the huge sword into where Jake and Archris were. It created a huge and powerful impact and left a crater on the ground. Luckily, Jake and Archris were able to jump away from there in time, because if not, they must have already turned into hamburgers. The man with the lion tattoo, however, did not stop. He dashed over to Jake's location. He swung the sword again, but it was too fast, and Jake cast the mystic barrier a split second before the sword could strike him. “You’re too weak to be an archmagus maximus,” Karlow said while still pushing his sword to break the mystic barrier. “What the hell happened to you?” “Shut up! Just focus on me and die!” Jake screamed. Archris, on the other hand, sneaked behind Karlow and was about to stab the man with a magic rapier when Karlow spun together with his broadsword. That was to target his neck; fortunately, he wa
