The Last Blood Mage Battle Against the Ancient Serpent
Atheria pressed herself against the bookrack, her heart pounding loudly in her chest. She waited for the shadow to draw nearer, her muscles tense, ready to react. Finally, as the shadow moved close enough, she made her move.With a swift and determined motion, Atheria lunged out from her cover, brandishing her short sword, and shouted, "Who's there?"But to her astonishment, as she swung her blade through the shadow, she felt nothing but air. There was no resistance, no figure to confront.Perplexed and a bit shaken, she glanced around the dimly lit library, her eyes darting in every direction. There was no one there. It was as if the shadow had simply dissipated into thin air.At that very moment, high above, the snake Bloodhound had been hunting slowly descended from a bookshelf. Its forked tongue flickered as it sensed the surroundings, adding an eerie presence to the already unsettling atmosphere.“Neela…” A whisper hung in the air, and Atheria remained unflinching. Atheria's eyes
The Last Blood Mage Uncovering the mystery Part One
Atheria rolled her eyes, a sardonic smirk forming on her lips as she commented, "You and your blood-drinking habits, Bloodhound. You really do enjoy the dramatics, don't you?"Bloodhound licked his lips, his expression cold as he retorted, "It's a necessary means to an end."Atheria chuckled, shaking her head at his seriousness. "Alright, enough with the theatrics. We've got work to do."She looked around the now chaotic library, her gaze settling on the various bookshelves. "We need to find the book Mathias mentioned."Bloodhound, however, had a different agenda in mind. "And what about the crown? Don't we need to locate it and destroy it to free Mayana's vengeful spirit?"Atheria hesitated for a moment before replying, "Normally, splitting up to cover more ground would be a good idea. But in this house of horrors, I'd rather stick together. Who knows what other supernatural surprises this place has in store for us."Bloodhound's eyes glinted with determination as he responded, "I ha
The Last Blood Mage Uncovering the Mystery Part Two
Bloodhound, fueled by his relentless determination, chased after the elusive shadows in search of Roland's spirit."Where did that damn knight go?" he roared, his voice echoing through the desolate castle.His pursuit led him to an open battleground just outside the castle's imposing walls. Relentless rain poured from the sky, drenching the ground below. The battleground was strewn with a collection of dummies and rusted swords and armor, a haunting reminder of battles long past."A training ground for the knights, I assume," Bloodhound mused to himself as he surveyed the scene. To his astonishment, the rain-soaked training ground held more secrets than he could have imagined. Ghostly figures, composed of shimmering, ephemeral dust, moved with precision and grace as they practiced their combat skills on the dummies.As Bloodhound approached, he overheard the spectral soldiers engaged in a conversation about their former lord."Did I ever tell you about the time the Duke single-handedl
The Last Blood Mage Truth Behind Mayana's Mother
But suddenly, just as Xander was about to dash out of the room and confront the vengeful spirit, Bloodhound's keen senses detected a glistening arrow shooting out of nowhere. The arrow struck the vengeful spirit, causing it to emit a furious, agonized roar."ARGGHH!" Xander heard the spirit's enraged cry as it dissolved into nothingness, leaving the room clear.Bloodhound was initially surprised, his frustration evident at having his target snatched away. However, his anger was quickly overshadowed by curiosity when Atheria teleported into the room to meet him. She held a peculiar silver bow, and the arrow she had shot glistened ominously."I had her!" Bloodhound growled, his frustration causing his temper to flare as he confronted Atheria. His fangs were bared, and his predatory instincts were fully on display.Atheria, though, refused to back down even as Bloodhound advanced on her. "Don't be a fool," she retorted. "You have no idea who she is or what she's capable of."Despite Bloo
The Last Blood Mage Beginning of the Conclusion
“Three months have passed since Rosaline and I agreed to work together to rid Mayana of the evil entity that clings to her. I can barely find time to write in my diary. These three months feel wasted as I sense we've made no progress in saving Mayana and Roland. I've had to keep a watchful eye on Roland, and I fear that Mayana and he suspect me of becoming a tyrant. If only I could reveal the truth to them,” Atheria read from the duke's journal.“Finally, there's a glimmer of hope on the horizon – a rogue mage well-versed in dealing with malevolent spirits. It took a significant favor to locate this mage, and when I told Rosaline about our discovery, she was just as elated as I am. Tomorrow, we shall meet this mage,” Atheria continued, flipping to the next page with great curiosity.“Fate appears to be playing a cruel game with us. The mage we were meant to meet met an unfortunate end – bitten by a snake. Rosaline made every effort to extract the venom from his body, but she failed. I
The Last Blood Mage Identity of the Evil Spirit
Atheria and Bloodhound reached the imposing wooden doors of the throne hall on the fifth floor. Standing before these doors, Atheria commented, "This must be it, the throne hall."Bloodhound nodded and growled with an air of grim determination, "Let's end this."He pushed the massive doors open with a strength that seemed to surge through him, causing his muscles to bulge and his stature to grow by a few inches. The doors groaned in protest before finally yielding.Finally, with a shuddering creak, the door swung open, and an unsettling rush of bats suddenly poured forth from the room, making Atheria curse loudly, "Damn bats! Get away from me!" She waved her arms to fend them off as they swirled around, their tiny, frenzied forms adding to the eerie ambiance of the castle.The throne hall appeared like a place lost in time, forgotten for thousands of years. Mighty stone pillars lined each side of the hall, their surfaces etched with intricate patterns, though age had eroded much of t
The Last Blood Mage Evil Plan Revealed
Atheria's voice trembled as she stuttered, "Ro-Rosaline? How... how is it possible?"But before any answers could be given, Rosaline, or whatever malevolent force now controlled her form, silenced Atheria with a resounding slap across the face. Atheria reeled from the blow, her cheek burning with pain.Bloodhound, not spared from Rosaline's wrath, received a powerful slap as well. The force of the blow sent him crashing into one of the massive pillars that lined the throne hall. Atheria and Bloodhound, now both dazed and disoriented, found themselves suspended by an invisible force that bound them tightly to the very pillars they collided with.Growling in frustration, they strained against the unseen restraints, their muscles bulging with effort as they struggled to break free. Their eyes, filled with determination and defiance, locked onto Rosaline's malevolent form as they sought a way to escape her clutches."It was me all along! There was never any evil spirit!" Rosaline's voice
The Last Blood Mage The Crown
Atheria stood frozen in awe as she gazed upon the spectral form of Duke Dregan. He appeared as he must have in life, with dark hair and donned in a regal crimson red attire. In one hand, he held a small axe, a symbol of his authority and determination.Duke Dregan's presence seemed to fill the hall with an aura of authority. His eyes, fierce and resolute, locked onto Roland's spirit, who had backed away under the weight of the Duke's spirit.In a voice that resonated with both command and compassion, Duke Dregan declared, "You and Rosaline will not harm these two," his gaze shifting between Atheria and Bloodhound.Rosaline's vengeful spirit manifested once more, this time wielding the very axe Duke Dregan had thrown earlier. Her spectral form was twisted with rage as she let out a bone-chilling roar. "How dare you show your face again in my castle!" she hissed, her anger making her presence even more sinister.Duke Dregan's gaze remained steady, unyielding. He declared with unwavering

Into The Forest
Three grueling days after their harrowing encounter with the yetis, the trio finally saw their destination looming on the horizon: the dark forest. The sight of it was enough to dampen the spirits of even the most stalwart adventurer. Towering trees, so dense and tall that they seemed to swallow the light, stood as silent sentinels guarding secrets untold. A mist clung to the forest floor, giving the entire landscape an ethereal, yet ominous, quality."Ah, the dark forest. Just the sort of place you'd expect to find in a cheerful tale of adventure and heroism," Xander quipped, his voice dripping with sarcasm as they approached. "I bet it's filled with sunshine, rainbows, and friendly woodland creatures just dying to invite us over for tea."Atheria rolled her eyes, a smirk playing on her lips. "Oh, definitely. I hear the dark, soul-sucking void at its heart is particularly inviting this time of year. We should definitely RSVP."Erik, who had been quiet, his gaze fixed on the forest's

The Journey Toward The Forest
As the trio braced themselves for the yetis' counterattack, the creatures proved their cunning once more. Rather than engaging directly in their weakened state, the yetis used the storm to their advantage, disappearing into the swirling snow to regroup and launch a more strategic assault."We can't let them regroup!" Atheria shouted, her voice barely audible over the howling wind. She continued to fire arrows into the storm, hoping to disrupt the yetis' movements.Xander, breathing heavily from the exertion and the effects of Erik's spell beginning to wane, scanned the edges of their makeshift battleground for any sign of the yetis. "These bastards are smarter than they look. We need to stick together, watch each other's backs."Erik, his energy drained, nodded in agreement, trying to muster what little magic he had left for another protective barrier. "They're using the storm as cover. We need to be ready for anything."Suddenly, from the depths of the blizzard, a large ice boulder,

The Trio vs The Yetis II
As Xander engaged the yeti in a fierce melee, his determination and vampiric strength driving him forward, the battle took a sudden turn. From the shadows of the storm, more yetis emerged, joining the fray with a coordinated assault. These new adversaries didn't engage directly in the close combat but instead launched a barrage of ice boulders and sharp icicles from a distance, adding a new layer of danger to the already chaotic battle."Damn it, there's more of them!" Xander cursed, narrowly dodging a large icicle that whistled past his ear, his focus split between the towering yeti before him and the incoming projectiles. "Erik, Atheria, we've got company!"Atheria, her eyes wide at the sight of additional yetis, quickly shifted her focus to the new threats. "Xander, keep on the big one! We'll handle the others!" She loosed arrow after arrow with precision, each one aimed at the shadows from which the ice attacks originated.Erik, recognizing the need for a defensive strategy, began

The Trio vs The Yetis I
Forced back into the merciless embrace of the storm, the trio navigated the blizzard's fury with renewed caution. The failure of Erik's plan had not dampened their spirits, but it had certainly underscored the power and cunning of their yeti adversaries. The yetis, sensing their momentary advantage, intensified their barrage, the size and frequency of the ice boulders growing as if to crush any hope the trio had of escaping unscathed."This is insane!" Xander shouted, barely dodging another massive ice boulder that crashed into the snow beside them, sending a shower of icy fragments into the air. "They're not just throwing ice anymore; they're aiming to kill!"Atheria, her eyes scanning the swirling chaos for any sign of their attackers, nodded grimly. "Yetis are known for their strength, but this...this is something else. It's like they're toying with us, testing our defenses."Erik, his energy reserves slowly recovering, added, "And they're using the storm as cover, striking from th

Cunning Yetis
As the trio prepared themselves inside the cave, the onslaught of ice balls intensified, each one larger and thrown with more force than the last. The situation quickly escalated from a mere annoyance to a dire threat. Xander, dodging another icy projectile, couldn't contain his frustration. "Bloody hell! These yetis have one hell of an arm. What's their plan, turn us into an ice sculpture exhibition?"Erik, his gaze fixed on the cave entrance, where the ice balls seemed to be targeting with alarming accuracy, had a grim realization. "They're not just attacking us. They're trying to seal us in. If they manage to block the entrance with enough ice, we'll be trapped here."Atheria, understanding the gravity of their predicament, quickly assessed their options. "We can't let that happen. We need to make a move before we're completely buried. It's clear they want us either trapped or dead."The notion of being trapped by a deliberate strategy employed by the yetis only added to Xander's g

Another mythical creature
Huddled in the cave as the storm unleashed its fury outside, the trio tried to make the best of their situation, sharing stories and attempting to keep their spirits high despite the ominous atmosphere. The howling of the wind and the relentless barrage of snow against the cave entrance created a cacophony that drowned out all other sounds. It was during a brief lull in the storm's roar that Xander, his senses always on alert, tensed up, his head tilting slightly as if trying to catch a sound far off in the distance."Did you guys hear that?" he asked, his voice cutting through the relative quiet of the cave.Atheria and Erik paused, listening intently. "Hear what? Just the storm, isn't it?" Atheria replied, a hint of concern creeping into her voice."No, there was something else...a roar. Not like any animal I've heard before," Xander insisted, his eyes narrowing as he tried to peer out into the swirling snow.Erik stood up, moving closer to the cave entrance, his magical senses exte

Living like a dragon
Several hours had passed since their conversation about Erik joining them on their journey, the landscape gradually shifting as they approached a vast, frozen lake. The air grew colder, the chill biting through their cloaks. Erik, scanning the area with a practiced eye, suggested they make camp. "This looks like a good spot," Erik announced, gesturing towards a clearing near the frozen lake. "We should rest here for the night. The lake will provide us with fresh water, and we can use the open space to our advantage should we need to defend ourselves." Xander and Atheria nodded in agreement, dismounting their horses and beginning to set up camp. Erik, taking a few steps away from the setup, concentrated for a moment before extending his hands. With a few whispered words, a spell ignited from his fingertips, creating a campfire that crackled to life, its warmth a welcome respite from the encroaching cold. "Show-off," Xander teased, but his tone was light, appreciative of the warmth Er

Erik's Future Plans
As the trio reached the outskirts of the monastery, preparing to venture towards the source of the corruption, Erik, with his usual blend of humor and practicality, suggested a recon mission."Maybe we three should scout ahead before we bring the whole monk brigade," Erik joked, casting a sideways glance at Xander and Atheria. "No offense to our robed friends, but I'm not sure they're cut out for dragon corpse duty. Plus, it's not exactly a field trip."Laylan, who had joined them to provide final instructions, nodded in agreement. "Erik has a point. It's wise to assess the situation first. And Erik, you're familiar with the forest, aren't you?"Erik shrugged, a half-smile on his face. "Familiar enough to know it's not exactly a stroll through the park even on a good day. But yeah, I know the way."Laylan's expression grew serious, his eyes reflecting the gravity of their task. "Be cautious. The corruption from the dragon's corpse may have... unintended side effects. The forest could

Root cause of the corruption
Meanwhile, in the silence of his quarters, Xander sat bolt upright in his bed, a sheen of sweat covering his brow, his breathing heavy and erratic. The darkness of the monk's quarters seemed to press in on him, the echoes of his dream still vivid in his mind. It was then that Erik and Atheria, having noticed the light under his door, walked into the room, concern etched on their faces."Erik, Atheria," Xander gasped, trying to regain his composure. "I... I had a dream. It was so vivid, so real."Atheria moved closer, her brow furrowed in worry. "You're sweating buckets. What did you dream about?"Leaning against the doorframe, Erik added, "Yeah, mate, you look like you've just run a marathon. Must have been some dream."Xander wiped his forehead, the images from his dream still swirling in his head. "It was more like a nightmare. I saw a giant golden statue, towering over a crowd of people. There was... there was so much tension, fear. The statue was about to fall, and everyone was pa
