The Last Blood Mage The Singing Lady Island Part Two
Eventually, the decrepit boat reached the desolate shores of the Singing Lady Island. As Xander and Atheria prepared to disembark, Xander turned to the old man."Will you wait for us here? We might need a ride back," Xander inquired, although he had a sense of what the answer would be.The old man let out a gruff laugh, his eyes filled with a strange mixture of pity and fear. "Nah, lad, I won't be waiting here. You see, you won't be returning."Xander, though filled with trepidation, summoned a semblance of courage. "I've survived worse."The old man's response was cryptic and ominous. "Not like this," he muttered, and with a forceful push of the paddle, he steered the boat away from the cursed island, leaving Xander and Atheria to face the unknown on their own."Unleash me now, idiot. Don't come to me crying later on," Bloodhound's growl reverberated within Xander's mind."Shut up, you moron. There's no one left on this island for you to murder and drink blood," Xander responded, irr
The Last Blood Mage Knight in shiny armor
As Xander and Atheria ascended the staircase, he continued to tell her about the eerie singing he thought he had heard."Atheria, I'm serious. I heard it. Maybe this castle's tales aren't all myths," Xander said with a nervous chuckle.Atheria, however, rolled her eyes and teased, "Xander, you're not seriously telling me you're so scared that you've started hearing songs in the air now."Xander retorted, "Even an army can be unnerved by a ghost, you know."Before Atheria could respond, she took a step forward and felt a slight depression on the floor. Her eyes widened as Xander heard a subtle click, and the hair on his neck stood on end. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a cannon fired towards Atheria. It hurtled through the air with deadly speed.But just as it seemed all was lost, a man in gleaming silver armor leaped out from the shadows. With a swift, precise strike, he cut the cannonball in half, and then landed on the floor with a heavy thud, sending echoes through the ancient castle.I
The Last Blood Mage Thirty Feet Long Cobra
Xander and Atheria trailed behind the knight, their steps echoing through the eerie castle corridors as they heard more and more disturbances in the distance."You should ask for more backup," Atheria suggested."No can do. The nobles will cause a big scene about it, and the religious leaders will do anything to stop someone from stepping onto this island," the knight sighed.Meanwhile, Xander carefully peered into each room along their path, as though he were searching for something specific. As they emerged from the corridor, they entered a spacious hallway that seemed frozen in time. The walls were adorned with faded tapestries depicting long-forgotten battles, and the flickering torchlight cast eerie shadows across the cracked marble floor."Are those blood stains?" Atheria observed the dark, ominous marks on the ground."Must be the blood of the bandits I fought here," replied the Knight, his eyes scanning their eerie surroundings.Atheria knelt down to investigate the bloodstain
The Last Blood Mage Unexpected Twist
Atheria, not one to be easily scared, found herself jumping in shock and fear at the sight of the snakeskin. She dashed behind Xander and instinctively clutched his hand tightly."What... what is that thing?" Atheria asked, still struggling to believe her eyes.Xander slowly walked forward and crouched before the snakeskin. "Whatever shed this skin, it did so recently. It's not even a month old," he said in a grave tone."How could that be? Okay, let's think about this rationally," Atheria took a deep breath, attempting to calm her frayed nerves. "This must be another snake. There's no way a cobra given to Mayana by the Duke a thousand years ago could still be alive," she reasoned."I bet this is just another one of the bandits' tricks," Atheria concluded."Yeah, let's attribute everything that's happening to the bandits' doing," Xander snickered."That's it!" Atheria had had enough of Xander's strange behavior. She threw her hands up in frustration and fear, then paced forward. "What
The Last Blood Mage Vengeful Spirits
"When did you come out?" Atheria inquired as she followed in the wake of Bloodhound."The moment Xander saw there was no blood spewing from the bandit Roland hit," Bloodhound growled.Atheria was taken aback that Xander had willingly relinquished control of his body to Bloodhound."Aren't you relieved I'm here, sweetheart?" Bloodhound asked in a mocking tone."I am," Atheria replied with heavy sarcasm."You don't sound relieved, though," Bloodhound observed as he led Atheria toward the library."Excuse my lack of enthusiasm for a bloodthirsty devil," Atheria snickered, but Bloodhound responded with a devilish laugh."Shhh," Atheria hushed him, attempting to make Bloodhound lower his voice, but it was in vain."Xander, if you can hear me, listen up. You're a fool. What were you thinking when you handed control of your body to Bloodhound?" Atheria scolded Xander, whose body was currently possessed by the menacing entity."He acted smart, sweetheart. He knew he can't do anything against
The Last Blood Mage Atheria Travels Back In Time
As Atheria teetered on the brink of unconsciousness, Bloodhound suddenly threw her aside with a powerful force. She landed a few meters away, clutching her neck, and immediately sensed a growing threat in the air.Weakly, she murmured, "What... is... that?"A shiver ran down her spine as she watched something coiling around Bloodhound's form. From the shadows emerged a sinister hissing sound that sent chills down her spine."Such an ugly creature," Bloodhound sneered, unperturbed by the looming danger. Atheria's eyes widened as she witnessed Bloodhound being ensnared by a colossal tail and lifted into the air. Illuminated by the torchlight, she could now clearly see the enormous serpent with glistening black scales, easily thirty-five feet long.Her shock quickly turned to determination as she remembered Xander's words."I wonder how your blood will taste," Bloodhound growled, meeting the serpent's gaze with unwavering resolve. Tension hung in the air as the two formidable beings enga
The Last Blood Mage Atheria vs Bloodhound
As they clashed, the Duke's movements were almost mesmerizing. He moved with an uncanny grace, his armor making barely a sound as he elegantly evaded Roland's powerful swings. The Duke's skill with his dual axes was undeniable.Atheria could hardly believe her eyes as the Duke sidestepped, ducked, and weaved effortlessly around the knight's attacks.In a fit of frustration, Roland screamed, "Stand and fight like a man!"But the Duke only chuckled darkly, his dual axes a deadly blur as he countered Roland's blows. With each clash of their weapons, it became increasingly clear that Duke Dregan was a formidable opponent, much to Roland's dismay.With astonishing speed and agility, Duke Dregan evaded Roland's attacks and countered with ruthless precision. He drove his dual axes forward, stabbing Roland repeatedly. Each strike was like a lightning bolt, and Roland was pushed back, struggling to defend himself.Finally, with a powerful kick, Duke Dregan sent Roland sprawling to the ground.
The Last Blood Mage Duke Dregan's Diary
Atheria nodded in agreement with Xander's assessment. "The sooner we find the book, the sooner we can leave this godforsaken place," she said, her urgency clear in her voice.Xander sighed, knowing what he had to do. "I have to give control back to him," he muttered. Without further delay, he allowed Bloodhound to take over.Bloodhound, now in control of Xander's body, cracked his neck audibly. His crimson eyes scanned their surroundings, his senses alert."Hold me tight," Bloodhound growled, his tone brooking no argument. Atheria gripped Bloodhound's hands tightly as he prepared to leap.With a powerful jump, they soared upward, with Bloodhound's supernatural strength propelling them higher by grabbing the walls. After a few heart-pounding seconds, they landed back in the corridor above.Atheria looked around, her gaze falling upon countless bookshelves stretching as far as the eye could see. The library was massive, with ladders strategically placed to access books on the higher she

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
