Jake quickly ran to Caroline, and he picked her up. He put her head on his shoulder and held her hand. Caroline’s eyes were closed, and she was bruised all over. He quickly cast a healing spell, and he sighed in relief when the bruises on his sister’s body vanished.He tried to wake her up by calling her name, and to his relief, Caroline opened her eyes and smiled at him.“Big brother, I did it!” the young lady exclaimed as she sat up and looked at everyone with a big smile. “I did it, everyone! ”“Yes, you did it! "Lyca approached her and gave her a hug.“That was amazing, my student?"Archris then sat beside her and patted her back lightly.“It was because my teacher is good,” Caroline returned the compliment.Everybody was already celebrating when Mikhael went closer to the frozen body of Voragor. He knocked on it, and he fell to the ground butt first when he heard the dragon grunt and saw its eyes move.He screamed at the top of his lungs, and that got everyone’s attention. Jake ru
Sebastian sighed while sitting on a couch, and he had his arms crossed in front of his chest. He was glaring at Jake and Caroline while waiting for an explanation of what happened. According to him, the two were unconscious for three weeks, and doctors couldn’t tell what happened to them.Jake explained everything to him in the simplest way possible. Though he himself couldn’t understand what happened, and why was it only his and Caroline’s bodies left in the world they were in now when they went to Eldramoria.Sebastian then explained to them what happened during the time they were unconscious. The city suddenly became peaceful, though curfew times at night were still up. After that, he stood up and took some folders from his table and put them in front of Jake. Those were financial and sales reports, and it showed that they lost millions in just three weeks that Jake was away.“The lab and the warehouse were all empty,” Sebastian said with a serious face. “I mean, we have stocks, bu
Jake asked Archris to bring Mikhael to him. Then he went to their company’s laboratory and warehouse to cast magic on the ointment and supplements there. It was just easy work, and it didn’t take an hour for him to finish everything there.After that, he received a message from Archris. It was the address where he could meet Mikhael, a phone number was included there, but he wanted to see what kind of person Mikhael was, so he decided to pay him a visit.Together with Jonas, Gary, and the rest of his bodyguards, he stormed an old building, which Archris mentioned in the address and details he sent. The neighborhood where the building was imposing had a dark aura. Houses and shops needed repairs. People were quiet, but they glared at them like they were some kind of food.“Mr. Chairman, I think this place is dangerous for you,” Jonas said while looking around. His right hand was inside his coat, holding a pistol, and ready to fire at any moment.“I agree, Mr. Chairman,” Gary said while
Jake requested Mikhael to tell him everything he could remember about the day he was transmigrated to Eldramoria. However, since for Mikhael, it happened a long time ago, he could barely remember what really happened that day.However, he was sure that the woman in the picture and the woman he saw that day were the same.But since Jake couldn’t get more information, he just asked Mikhael to follow that woman and find more information about her.After that, Jake left the place with his bodyguards.He was on his way back to the office when he received a call from Ms. Hanson. He found it weird because it was already time for Ms. Hanson to go home when he remembered that he had asked her to go to a restaurant.He answered the phone. “Hello, Ms. Hanson? Are you there already? "He asked.“Yes, Mr. Chairman. We have a table already. However, I don’t know who the client is, so I can’t welcome him if he comes,” the secretary replied.“Just wait for me there. I’ll be there in a moment.”“I unde
“Wait! "Ms. Hanson shouted and stood up. She grabbed Jake’s hand and pulled him near her. “I’m sorry. I think there was some understanding here. I apologize," she said while her head was bowing to the woman.“No worries. These bodyguards are just sometimes overacting,” the beautiful lady said. Then after that, she gently asked her bodyguards to relax and lower their guns. “Also, I was the one who disturbed your date. Ah, right! We have a very special wine in the house. Let me serve a bottle of that.”“You own this hotel? "Jake suddenly asked. The woman faced him with a very beautiful smile that made him pause for a while.“Yes, she owns this wonderful hotel now,” a tall middle-aged man suddenly butted in. He was wearing a deep blue suit and black trousers. And his gray hair was neatly brushed up. “She is my new wife. And I bought her this hotel as a gift. By the way, I am Don Theodore Montero.”Jake looked at the man. He had heard that name before. Don Theodore was a multi-billionair
Instead of stopping Jake and Marcus, the drunk customers shouted and cheered. Two of them stood up, closed the door, and guarded it.Jake felt the danger he was in. But this was nothing compared to the monsters and enemies he had faced before. Also, he thought that this would be the right time for him to give Marcus a good lesson.Marcus was his longtime friend, and as far as he could remember, they had known each other since middle school. Marcus used to help him against the bullies. He didn’t fight, though; he just helped him hide.Then their friendship continued until they became full adults. However, Marcus became a bit of a delinquent due to his not-so-child-friendly family background. He engaged himself in some illegal activities and jobs. However, he still didn’t leave Jake.“Are you sure you want to do this here? "Jake asked as he tilted his head to see the bartender. “Will the owner allow this? ”“Well, the owner is in front of you,” the bartender replied with a smile while p
The sun was shining brightly in the clear blue sky. And Jake was feeling sleepy while signing some documents and financial statements. He hasn’t eaten lunch as well, as he wanted to finish everything right away so he could have some free time in the evening.He wanted to have time to have a talk with Eldratrome once more and know more about the prophecy that he couldn’t remember until now.The sales of the company started to go up again, as did the value of their stocks in the market. Many investors began to inquire, and he realized that he couldn’t be gone anymore. The company won’t survive without him.Also, the news and issues about magic users had gradually slowed down. However, there were still times that he was the topic of shows tackling major incidents where magic users were involved.But still, it was all good, as life in the city had come back to normal.He just finished signing a document when the telephone on his table rang. He quickly picked it up and answered.“Mr. Chair
“Are you serious? You’re going to reopen that underground fighting club?"Sebastian shouted with his eyes bulging. “And to make it worse, you’re going to allow magic users to fight? Are you out of your mind? ”Jake scoffed and continued with his paperwork. He was already expecting Sebastian to react like that, especially since the man used to fight and operate that before.“My goal is not to earn money from that. I have to get close to Mr. Montero to know more about his secret,” Jake said, still focused on his work and not looking at Sebastian.The man sighed, then he slammed his fist on Jake's table, causing the things there to bounce. “What? Don’t tell me you’re interested in men now! Besides, that man is pretty old! ”Jake exhaled and looked at Sebastian. “There are things that you won’t understand even if I explain. Just believe in me. Also, if you want, you can also participate there.”“Are you serious? Am I crazy enough to fight magic wielders like you, huh? ” “You are strong, S
Karlow quickly dashed to Damascus and he carried him on his back. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to match that form of Valaree, and that retreating would be the best option for them to save their lives. He wanted to fight but he didn’t want to waste the second life he had now. So, he couldn’t be reckless. But he hadn’t gone far away yet, when Valaree jumped in front of him.“Don’t look at his eyes!” Damascus said faintly. Karlow quickly looked away from Valaree and he started to run to the other side. “You can try looking at his chest. Just avoid looking at his face, or else you’ll be tempted to look at those eyes.” Damascus said again.“Damn it! How can I fight like that?” Karlow exclaimed.“Just put me down,” Damascus said. “I will just slow you down. I am done for. So, just go and fight without thinking about me.”Karlow snickered. “As if a noble knight like me can do that to a comrade who saved my life.”“Ah! Damn it! Let me go!” Damascus shouted.Karlow was about to answer b
Damascus immediately ran towards Jake and hugged his friend tightly. Then he sat on the ground while catching his breath. “You could’ve killed me with that woman,” he said while looking at the ground. “You even saved me from death.”“So the healing spell that I cast down there healed you?” Jake asked. “But you were dead. You were dead even before we got there.”“That’s what I knew as well. But I guess, you have awakened something that wasn’t awakened even by the strongest mages in history. Or maybe even the Aetherlock,” Damascus replied.Jake looked at his friend. He did not say anything, but he thought about what Damascus said. He knew he didn’t have the magic to bring dead people to life. He didn’t even try using the reanimation magic even before. So, there must be a possibility that what Damascus said was true. “Anyway, we don’t have much time to think about it right now,” Damascus suddenly said while slowly standing up.Jake nodded and his brows knitted when he saw the bodies of
“Damascus?!” Thalara shouted after coughing up blood. “How come you’re still alive?! Damn you!”Damascus snickered while looking up at her. “Have you forgotten? I was once called ‘The Immortal Damascus.’ And once you have an Archmagus Maximus friend, you’re unlikely to die easily. Right, Jake?”“You son of a gun, I thought you hit the bucket already,” Jake said with a faint smile on his face. Tharala cast a spell and the sword that was pierced in her slowly moved and was pulled out. The sword fell but Damascus caught it. She then cast a healing spell but Jake dispelled it, causing her wound to bleed more.“Does it hurt?” Jake asked as he slowly floated around Thalara. “How does it feel to be stabbed in the back by someone you know?”Thalara did not respond. She just gritted her teeth while pressing the wound to at least lessen the bleeding. “You think that’s painful?” he asked again. “But that was nothing compared to the pain that you caused me.”Thalara then smiled and looked at Ja
The Vipers and the Wolves started to attack. They used all the magic powers they had to suppress the evil gods and Tharanos. Archris quickly ran towards Jake and he pulled him away from the chaos. “Bring him inside Caroline’s barrier,” Lyca said. “We’ll fight with our comrades here. We have to be in the front line. You know our mages wouldn’t last long and that there will be bloodbath in just a matter of minutes. So, move fast. Okay?”Archris nodded his head. Then without a word, he teleported together with Jake near the evacuation area. Caroline then touched the barrier and let them in. “Oh, no,” Caroline exclaimed. Alica beside her was crying and the people started to crowd around them trying to see what happened to Jake.“Come on, Caroline. Don’t cry,” Jake said. He was trying to hide the pain, but his face couldn’t. Then his body started trembling. “Caroline, we don’t have much time,” Archris said. “Heal Professor as fast as you can. We have to go back to the battlefield.”“B-
Thalara’s intelligence was hard to match. She was the queen, the leader of the forest priestesses, and once, hailed the greatest forest priestess ever lived. She had led the elite faction, and protected them from extinction even before Jake arrived in Eldramoria. She had won many battles already, and was a feared tactician during the war of Eldramora against Tharanos.And Jake just forgot that. And that mistake put him in a terrible situation.He was still dizzy from the punch he took from Tharanos. He could feel his body, but couldn’t move. He wanted to crawl away, as he knew what was coming next. And heard an unsheathing sword. And he yelped when he felt something was stabbed in his back. It was so painful but he couldn’t even scream. “Jake!” “Aetherlock… I am sorry…”“No! You aren’t dying yet!”The ring on his finger illuminated a bright light, causing blindness to those around him. It was so bright that even the people in the evacuation area had to cover their eyes.Jake felt a
Jake looked at the five evil gods behind Tharanos. He remembered all of them, and the struggles he had against them flashed in his memories. He might have defeated Voragor and Dudgara, but he knew that fighting the remaining five together, and Tharanos would be a suicide. From the left of Tharanos, he saw the evil god of Pride. A woman in a red leather suit that was not zipped properly on the chest part because of the chest's massive size. Her name was Samarah. Next is the evil god of envy, a man in deep blue armor. He had blue eyes and long hair. He was called Ingo. Beside him is a man without a shirt, the evil god of lust. He was just wearing pants and leather boots. And his physic was so nice like he was a perfectly carved sculpture. He also had a blindfold. He was known as ValareeThen almost beside Tharanos, is a bald man with a red beard. He was wearing armor made of gold and a cape laced with shining gemstones. He is the evil god of greed, Mammonar. And the last one, was a sma
Tharanos put for marks around the evacuation area. Then he cast a spell. A black translucent barrier appeared and covered the evacuation area. The normal people didn’t see it, but Caroline did. And she suddenly felt fear when she saw it covered the place.She looked at her brother. Jake was still on the ground bound by binding magic. She tried to call him, but his eyes were closed and not responding.The evacuation center went into panic when they saw what happened. They still couldn’t fully understand what was happening, but they knew that they were in grave danger. They started shouting at the police and military, asking for assurance that they would be safe. Others were asking when the rescue would be coming, and some were forcing themselves out of the place.It was chaos, and the officers and authorities were having a hard time controlling the crowd. And in the middle of that, some fights broke out. A woman and a middle-aged man then approached Caroline. The woman pushed her fro
Tharanos slowly descended from above, his eyes locked at Jake and Thalara followed him with a proud face. The tyrant god-like creature that once terrorized Eldramoria softly landed on the ground, and even the people inside the barrier felt the strong and dreadful presence from that man and they started squirm and ran behind the officers and Caroline. But Jake did not waver. He just stood in the spot where he appeared while looking at the man who was just casually walking towards him. The dark aura emanating out of Tharanos did not affect him.He then looked around and he could not help but sigh when he saw the city was lit by the fire created by the evil gods walking towards where they were. The buildings and houses were destroyed. The whole city was already in ruins. “You look worried,” Tharanos said. His steps were accompanied by black lightning and smoke. “Are you worried about the city?”Tharanos raised his hands and the buildings behind him all fell down. Jake looked at the dir
Jake sat beside Damascus’ not moving body. His head and shoulders were down, and he kept on sighing. There were no tears coming out, but the fury in his heart kept on growing. And it was greater than the sadness that he was feeling at the moment. He touched Damascus’ shoulder, hoping that he would still feel a bit of life from his former friend. But there was nothing. The body in front of him was lifeless. He stood up and without saying anything or looking at Lyca, he headed to the stairs leading down. His face was dark, and his eyes were glaring. There was also small lighting surrounding his body and fists. And the most notable of all was that the Aetherlock was shining brightly.Lyca and the two knights could feel Jake’s fury, and that stopped them from saying anything. They just followed the Archmage until they reached the final floor of that dungeon. It was a long pathway and on the sides were also cages filled with ominous creatures in Eldramoria. However, the floor contained
