Cassio sat in the settee, watching Wilfred read the report in silence. The other team members were here as well, all of them very quiet.After some minutes, Wilfred cleared his throat and said, "This case has been already solved by you, Cassio. No need to go through it again.""It has been solved by me? How?" Cassio asked, not understanding how the case about Strange Cult had been solved. He felt that even though he had successfully stopped the ritual and killed the three men, there would be other Strange Cult members lurking in the shadows. That was what happened in the movies he watched back on Earth."Yes, it's been solved," Wilfred nodded. "We've done a clean sweep of everything. There are several Heterodox cults which are growing out of the shadows. Although these Heterodox cults are several, the members aren't many. Most of these cults are very new and have few members as low as three. Strange Cult is one of them.""Oh," Cassio finally got the point. Then he asked, "That means I
Somewhere in MythVille CityOut of the puddle of water on the ground, Cassio emerged to the bewilderment of everyone. Traveller couldn't be used to travel over long distances so he had to keep using it to travel over short distances till he reached his destination.Everything was becoming fishy now. First, he was given the Book of Mysteries by Old Thompson. Secondly, he was transmigrated into this world by this Book of Mysteries. Thirdly, ever since his transmigration, this same Book was lost till this moment! He felt that some higher being was using him as a pawn in a chess game. But why? What pleasure would this higher entity derive from toiling with someone as low as him? He suspected Ulf and couldn't help but quiver in fear. This eldritch being who he thought had been resolved was still bent on getting him."I need to escape outta here," Cassio said as he touched Traveller again, ready to activate it. He knew that no amount of explanation would stop the Arcane Guards from arrestin
There was no sun, no birds, no nothing. There was only fog which spread infinitely across the sea, tainting everything in a surreal haze. It was only by the magical spells on the ship that it could sail—the sailors wouldn't have been able to navigate the ship in such a hazy condition where nothing could penetrate.This was the month of September and the ship was still sailing. The sailors said it would three or four weeks before the ship would arrive at Knyghtdom, so everyone knew that the voyage through the Sea of Infinity was almost coming to an end. The ship didn't bump into pirates or other ships as the sea was infinitely vast without an end, being the point where infinite dimensions overlapped.Cassio sat crosslegged in his cabin, deep in meditation. He breathed in and out constantly, replenishing his Magical World. He was trying to rid it of any filth so that he could easily advance to the next Magic Array or Combat Tier since he was also a Knyght.It has been two months since h
On a ship which was also sailing on the sea stood a young man. He had brown curly hair and brown eyes, making his face very handsome. He was donned in a black leather trenchcoat, black leather trousers and black combat boots. A black hilted sword was strapped to his left side, giving him the air of a powerful swordsman.The man's face was expressionless, his brown eyes as cold as ice and unsmiling. He stared at the boundless sea for several moments, his hands behind him as he stood on the deck.Just then, a young lady walked up towards him. She had a purple hair, purple eyebrows and purple eyes. Her lips were full and had a faint touch of purple, making her look extremely charming. Dressed in a purple dress, she had an unnatural attractiveness. She exuded a powerful aura which didn't match her innocent and beautiful looks at all."You've been gazing at the sea for months, Walter," the lady said as she stopped to stand beside him, staring at him."The sea is boundless and Infinite, ove
Walter hesitated, staring at Cassio whose face carried no expression. If Cassio had not just accused him of killing his father and challenged him to a mortal combat, he would have thought Cassio wasn't angry. He didn't want to fight the kid.Cassio who saw Walter's hesitation decided to attack first. No matter what, he had to kill this so-called Destined One who caused the deaths of thousands of people, almost bringing the world to a surceasance. He would kill him once and for all!Frozen Sword of Karma!Cassio leaped towards Walter, illusory snow balls dancing around his sword. He soared through the air like a powerful eagle, his movement defying the laws of physics.At that moment, Walter felt his Magical World freeze instantly, affecting his Magical Body and Will Body. Even the spectators were not left out as they felt their souls and spirits shiver from the cold!Time slowed down as Cassio approached Walter, his right hand clasped around the hilt of his sword tightly. His long hai
7th Block, Way FallsCassio stood in his rented apartment, staring around his new home. He almost frowned, seeing that it could not compare with his former home.This apartment was a very small one with two sofas and a table standing in the center of the room. There was a fireplace in the wall which was already burning with the ember firewood, yellow flames crackling and dancing around the firewoods. At the far end of the apartment was a small sized bed, small enough for him to even stretch while sleeping."What's the point of sleeping if you can't stretch," Cassio scoffed, dissatisfied with the outlook of the apartment. He couldn't help but feel that he had been cheated over the 100$ he paid to the whimsical looking landlord who looked as if he could do virtually anything for money.The walls are even old and the paint faded, Cassio was almost fuming in anger. And to think he wasted 100$ for something as old and shabby looking like this made him to almost vomit blood!Actually, he ha
It was night, the moon appearing in the dark sky, gibbous but radiant. Countless stars dotted the sky, spreading infinitely like draperies. Nocturnal sounds filled the atmosphere, bringing the silent night to life.Swoosh!The wind blew through the surrounding, dank and filled with coldness brought from the sea. Its movement caused trees to sway gently and leaves to rustle like squeezed dollar notes, bringing a certain eerie feeling to the surrounding.A house stood secluded from the other houses in Way Falls, Excalibur City. It was surrounded by tall trees which brought an unusual darkness to the surrounding the house was located in. A feeling of eerieness was dispelled through out this place, as if it was haunted.In the house was a man dressed in a hooded black robe, several red candles surrounding him and forming complex shapes on the ground. These candles burned slowly with an usual colour which was too grotesque to be described. The flames which snaked atop the candles exuded an
That same night, several Combat Police paraded the streets vigilantly, their swords strapped to their sides. Most of them were Tier one while a very few were Tier two. They ignored the whistling of cold wind, the swaying of trees, rustling of leaves and eeriness of the atmosphere and continued with their patrols. They were very confident in themselves as they believed no being would dare to ambush them in the night.Excalibur City was the capital of Knyghtdom and so, it had most of the manpower here. There were so many hidden powerhouses which made it impossible for enemies to breech the city. Although these powerhouses were not always around, when danger came all of them would appear like thieves in the night. Also, the patrolling Combat Police were powerful Knyghts themselves and could combat any threat within the confines of Tier one and two and sometimes inchoate Tier three which was equivalent to Array five—a continental level threat."Those rogue cultivators escaped under the no
