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
The Last Blood Mage End of the thousand year feud
With Bloodhound defeated and Duke Dregan locked in a fierce battle against Roland, there was nothing to prevent the malevolent spirit of Rosaline from seizing control of Atheria's body."Such young flesh... all mine..." Rosaline's voice oozed with chilling malevolence as her spectral form transformed into a wisp of smoky darkness, darting straight into Atheria's vulnerable form.Atheria growled, her senses assaulted by a vile taste and a nauseating stench. But her body was unresponsive; she felt as if she were caged within her own flesh, another, far more sinister presence now in control."HAHAHAHA," echoed Rosaline's eerie laughter, her possession of Atheria's body complete this time. The first instance had been only a partial takeover, but now Rosaline had full dominion."I am complete!" Rosaline's triumphant roar reverberated through the castle, chilling the very stones.Atheria's once vibrant blue eyes turned into ghostly, vacant orbs, their light extinguished."Get out of my body
The Last Blood Mage Final Goodbye
Duke Dregan, still occupying Xander's body, looked at Atheria with a sense of warmth and wisdom in his eyes. He gently replied to her query, "I have been waiting for you both for a very long time. You see, Rosaline never anticipated that not just one, but two blood mages would come to aid me in ending her malevolent existence."Atheria was puzzled. "But how did you know we would come?"Dregan's smile was soft, almost nostalgic. "It was a hundred years after my death when a mage, a wise and powerful one, found his way to this castle. He spoke to me without Rosaline sensing it, thanks to a potent ritual he performed. This mage told me about Rosaline's ultimate demise being at the hands of two blood mages."A sense of awe and wonder filled Atheria. "So, it was a prophecy of sorts?"Dregan nodded. "Indeed, a prophecy foretelling the arrival of two blood mages who would bring about the end of Rosaline's malevolence. You two are the ones I've been waiting for."Bloodhound, who had been quie
The Last Blood Mage The Black roots Part One
"Let's go. I can't wait to leave this place," Atheria remarked as she moved away from the throne hall. With the vengeful spirits vanquished, Xander regained control of his body, and Bloodhound's personality receded.Together, they ventured toward the library. This time, the castle was devoid of spirits or disturbances. Upon reaching the library, Xander let out a sigh, taking in the chaotic scene."How on earth are we going to find that blasted book in this mess?" Atheria sighed in exasperation. The bookshelves were in disarray, books scattered haphazardly around the room, and the serpent's lifeless body still lay on the floor where they had slain it.Disregarding the thirty-foot-long snake, Xander and Atheria descended the stairs to begin their search for the book."You take one side, and I'll take the other," Xander suggested, and Atheria nodded in agreement. With that, they embarked on their quest to find the elusive book.For the next hour, Atheria and Xander scoured the library in
The Last Blood Mage The Black roots Part Two
As Xander and Atheria reached the Diamond City docks, the morning sun cast a warm, golden glow across the city, illuminating its vibrant streets and the shimmering waters of the harbor. The city was a bustling tapestry of colors and sounds, coming to life with the dawn.Xander couldn't help but admire the breathtaking sunrise. He turned his gaze to Atheria, a soft smile on his face. "It's truly beautiful," he remarked, the warmth of the moment seeping into his words.Atheria nodded in agreement, her eyes reflecting the serene beauty of the morning. "Yes, it is," she replied, sharing in the quiet appreciation of the city.Turning away from the tranquil sight of the sunrise, Xander and Atheria made their way into the heart of the bustling Diamond City. The city was coming to life; early birds chirped from the trees, and people emerged from their homes.Xander glanced at Atheria as they walked, a sense of anticipation in his voice. "I hope Mathias is already awake,"Atheria let out a sma
The Last Blood Mage Xander’s Rage
"So let me get this straight. Consuming black roots will make a mage powerless for days, depending on the potency. But if they consume too much or too often, they would die. How does this affect the world like you said? It just looks like extra steps to kill a mage," Xander growled.He had thought consuming black roots would rid him of his blood mage powers. However, he had learned that if he consumed too much black root or did so too frequently to suppress his powers, he could die from mana poisoning. Although Xander knew he wouldn't die unless his head was severed or his body burned completely, he doubted he would survive mana poisoning."You're not seeing the full picture," Mathias said."With this knowledge, alchemists will spend their lives brewing potions and weaponizing black roots. Imagine a poison made with black roots that could immediately strip a mage of their powers. It could change the tide of a war. Think about the spells or runes created using the essence of black root
The Last Blood Mage Cost of Freedom Part One
Gardan's vision began to blur as Xander drained his blood from his neck. Desperate, Gardan struggled to free himself, his hands transforming into talons that tore through Xander's robes, leaving deep cuts on his back. Blood oozed from the wounds."Let... me... go..." Gardan mustered all his strength and unleashed a powerful punch that momentarily pushed Xander away. Gardan felt the sharp sting in his neck, the pain making it difficult to stand."What the hell are you, freak?!" Gardan roared, his vision growing hazy.Xander, with bloody fangs and chin, cracked his neck and flicked his wrist. The blood sword materialized in his hands."Now you die!" Xander shouted, charging at Gardan with inhuman speed. He was on the brink of beheading Gardan when golden chains suddenly materialized, coiling around Xander's hands."Stand down!" Another voice echoed through the room. Several armored soldiers, led by a golden-haired man, stormed into the room.Xander was stunned by the sudden appearance o

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
