Jake, Archris, and the Vipers were transported to an alley in the nearest city center. And as soon as they landed, they already heard the screams of people and explosions everywhere.“Professor, I don’t think some of my men can still fight,” Archris said.He looked at the Vipers, and he saw them already sitting on the ground while others were badly wounded and bleeding.“Don’t worry. I’ll heal you all,” he said. Then he called the men and asked them to stick together. He then cast a healing spell and healed all of them at once. The men couldn’t believe it, as all of their injuries disappeared and their magic energy had replenished.One of the Vipers cast a spell and summoned a number of crows. He let the crows fly, and after just a moment, the man spoke.“I am Harry, Master Jake. And those crows I summoned are scouting mediums,” the man said as he faced Jake.“That’s great, then. So, what’s the situation now?” Jake asked. “The whole town has been destroyed, and there are many bodies
The Vipers created a barrier around the station the moment they made sure that all the people were evacuated away from there. The police then came and surrounded the place, but all they could do was assist the people from fleeing the place.“We’ll contain this battle in this place. No matter what, don’t let any of these monsters escape, okay?” Jake said as they watched the monsters emerge from the giant hole in the ground.“Is it okay if we kill them?” one of the Vipers asked.Jake nodded his head. “Do whatever you can to stop them. I don’t care how. Just stop them.”“Alright!” The Vipers shouted together.The monsters started attacking them, and they defended themselves. Jake jumped away and called the attention of some of the monsters. He cast an enhancement spell, and he fought them all with his physical strength.Punch after punch, kick after kick. He tried to break the legs and arms of the monsters, but they just regenerated.He looked at the others, and he saw them having the sa
Screams of the Viper men were heard all over the tunnel. Jake and Archris ran to where they heard the screams, and their faces turned sour when they saw their men on the ground bleeding and crawling.Jake immediately ran to help the wounded, as well as Archris. Although all they could do was stop the bleeding of the wounds, bringing back the lost limbs and legs would take a lot of time for Jake to do.“Damn it! Archris! Pull them into one spot. I can’t put a shield on them if they are in different places."Jake said, to which Archris responded with a nod.The young man used enhancement magic to quicken his moves. He put his men in a room, and Jake started to heal their wounds. He was just about to look for two more when he suddenly fell down on the floor. He tried to stand up, but he felt a torturous pain in his achilles’ tendons, and that made him scream.“Archris!” Jake quickly rushed to where Archris was, and he immediately helped the young man when he saw his Achilles’ tendons cut
Jake woke up in his room. He jolted up and looked around, but nobody was there except for a table beside his bed where a glass pitcher of water was placed, together with two crystal glasses. He took a glass of water and drank it.He leaned his back against the bed’s headboard, then thought of what happened last time. He had no idea how long he had been sleeping or what happened to Archris and to the Vipers who were with them.All that he could remember was that a strong magic force tried to control him from within his body.He closed his eyes as he tried his best to relax, and then memories started to flash in his mind.It was the moment when he encountered the strongest of the seven evil gods—Voragor, the evil god of wrath. It was a black dragon with red, flaming stripes and eyes. It was so powerful that it was once feared that it would destroy Eldramoria.He clearly remembered the night he fought the evil god of wrath. He was already bleeding all over, and all of the Eldramorian sol
“Sebastian? How’s everything in the office?” Jake immediately asked when Sebastian answered his call.“Finally! You’re awake! You don’t know what I’ve been through for those two days that you were dead!” Sebastian replied sarcastically and irritably.“Just tell me what happened."“Videos where you were seen fighting and using magic circulated all over the country in just half a night, and now the whole freaking world knows that the Chairman of Drummond Pharmaceuticals is a freak!” Sebatian continued. “And it affected the stock market value in a negative way.”“I am really sorry, but we had no choice at that time,” Jake responded. “But…”“I know… I know… I know…,” Sebastian didn’t allow him to finish. “I have talked to the board and to the shareholders. This is something I can’t cover anymore, but at least I was able to save the reputation of the company.”“What did you do?”“I told the media that you’re a hero.”“What?”“The day after the bus station incident, they called you a freak
Archris and Caroline arrived at the Vipers hideout, and Caroline was flabbergasted by what happened. With a gaping mouth and wide-opening eyes, she slowly walked and looked around the room that Archris had made as the main office of the Vipers.“Woah! This place is kind of creepy but cool,” the young woman commented while looking closely at some displays in the room. “Was this a museum?"“Not really,” Archris replied. “This used to be an office in an amusement park.”“Amusement park?”“Yeah, the amusement park where hundreds of people died two years ago,” the young man answered. Then he went to his fridge and opened it. “Anything you want to drink? Uhm… Ms… “"Anything is available as long as it is not alcohol,” Caroline said with a sweet smile. “Uhm, yeah… Just call me Caroline. No titles, okay?”That smile made Archris face turn red. He also suddenly stopped moving and was stuck, looking at the young lady in front of him.“You’re a bit weird, Archris,” Caroline commented with a smil
Archris slowly let go of Caroline and he fell on his knees, drenched in sweat and panting. He had burns and bruises in different parts of the body. The explosion caused a huge crater at the beach. Luckily, it was a secluded beach and nobody got hurt except for him. He coughed and shook his head when he saw blood when he spat.“Archris, are you okay?” Caroline kneeled to see his condition. He nodded and smiled faintly but he coughed again, and more blood came out of his mouth. “No, you’re not okay,” Caroline said, then she looked around to see if there was a better place he could pull Archris. But she didn’t see any, so she took out her phone. She was about to make a call to Jake, but there was no signal.Caroline started sobbing while helping Archris to sit down comfortably. “Is there magic that you can use to heal yourself?” she asked.“There is, but I am too tired and damaged to cast it,” Archris said before coughing up blood again. “Then what should we do? I don’t know but I fe
Jake had settled everything with the board of directors and shareholders of their company. He was expecting them to be mad at him for the negative effect he caused the company because of the fight he was involved in last time. However, the board and the shareholders took it as a positive marketing strategy for them.And that was thanks to Sebastian.“Thank you for working on things while I was unconscious. I owe you this time, Sebastian,” Jake said to his so-called stepbrother. “You can have a vacation if you want, and I’ll pay for all the expenses.”Sebastian smirked. “Anywhere?”“Yeah. Anywhere, as long as you won’t do anything illegal,” Jake replied with a snicker. Then he stood up and approached a table where a bottle of whiskey was placed. He poured some into a glass and gave it to Sebastian. “You know, I’ve always wanted to take revenge on you because of what you’ve done to me. But I didn’t think that you would be this useful to me.”Sebastian took the glass of whiskey, but he d
