CHAPTER FORTY-ONEAleric sighed heavily at the words he heard from Arithea, knowing fully that there was no way he was going to get to Baron with the replicas still around. He knew that they were never going to let him get closer to him even for a short while.“This is going to be tough, I just need to find a way to kill Baron.” Aleric thought to himself while he struggled to ignore the pain that he felt from the injury on his body which had blood still trickling slowly from it.“What is it, Aleric? Have you suddenly lost your valor? Have you suddenly lost the strength to fight? Huh?” Baron tried to taunt Aleric, but even though it didn't work out for him, Aleric couldn’t help but feel a little perplexity from the situation facing him. He was still not sure of how he was supposed to get to Baron without the intervention of the replicas who had already started to move forward to him at the command of Baron who gestured to them with his sword.“It would be better for you to surrender, A

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO“Aleric? Forgive me!” Baron grunted, coughing out blood while he continued holding onto Aleric who had a deadpan expression on his face, looking down at Baron who began to cough out blood while some of it trickled down from his nostrils, dripping on the hard floor, as his life faded away.“Forgiveness is not mine to give, Baron. It is too late to ask for that, maybe it would have been granted if you had listened to me.” Aleric said with a whisper, looking at a Baron who coughed severally, staining his clothes with blood as some of it splattered on the floor while the others flew from his lips the moment he coughed.Baron began to shed tears while vitality left him, but Aleric wasn’t entirely moved as he was certain that Baron wasn’t being remorseful for his actions, but for the fact that he wasn't able to achieve his goals.“All I wanted was to be recognized, Aleric. I wanted to make a difference. No one saw all the efforts I had put in to ensure that Valdris town w

CHAPTER FORTY-THREEClagmor was no longer wary of General Morbius alone, but he was also afraid of Aleric who was not only a stranger but seemed to be more dangerous than the General for him to have been able to kill one of the most powerful S-ranked warriors he had ever known.“You did this?” Clagmor asked with a trembling voice as he continued to crawl backward, panting frantically while he kept his eyes on Aleric who remained where he was, looking at him with a smirk on his face.Clagmor continued crawling backward until he eventually was forced to stop when he collided with General Morbius who stood still with his arms folded.Clagmor gasped when he realized that he was between the Devil and the Red Sea with no hope of solace from anywhere, not even from his mind that should have been able to offer him some relief.“Who are you?” He asked with a whisper, still panting while his breath remained unstable, and his heart continued racing to an unknown destination.“Who are you?”“He

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR He slowly let go of the base of his sword, causing Clagmor to heave a heavy sigh of relief, thinking that being honest was going to exonerate him from the punishment of his crimes.He looked at Aleric who still refused to change even his posture, his position, or even his countenance, and when he realized that Aleric was not going to help with the situation, he returned his gaze to the General who was still smiling at him.Clagmor took in a deep breath which he let out slowly, and after summoning enough courage, he spoke to Morbius with a voice a little bit above a whisper with a nervous expression on his face.“I have told you what you need to hear, General. I have told you what you asked.” Clagmor kept his eyes on the General who nodded in response almost immediately but refused to say what he was expecting to hear, not even a word.“You should let me go, General Morbius. I have told you everything that you need to know, I don’t think there is any need for you t

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVEElder Clagmor continued staring at the two men who were standing close to him, it was impossible to tell if they were going to keep to their words or not, but at that moment, he also knew that he didn’t have any choice at all. It was either that he told them what they wanted to hear, or he could die a very painful death.“Go on, Elder Clagmor. We are waiting for you.” Aleric said with a smile on his face, still staring at the old man who took in a deep breath and exhaled sharply to get rid of some of the tension that he was harboring inside himself.He turned to look at General Morbius who had decided not to say a word until necessary, and when he returned his gaze to Aleric, he sat on the ground to be more comfortable before he began to speak.“There is a man named who has been giving Baron instructions on what to do and when to do them. I think he is responsible for all the dungeon attacks and most of the outbreaks that have been happening in the kingdom and beyon

CHAPTER FORTY-SIXAleric stood still, looking at the General while he held onto the thoughts that crept into his mind. He tried to figure out what was going on, but he couldn’t find the closest clue. He thought of asking the General, but realizing that his mood was not favorable, he decided not to go ahead with it.“How did you find out about this, Elder Clagmor ?” General Morbius asked calmly, getting rid of the silence that had lingered between them for a while.“Lady Vella got really sick several days ago, and there was no one who knew about it except Lord Thorne who informed me about it, pleading with me to find a cure for the strange illness that attacked her. When I came, I discovered that the sickness was almost incurable, but Lord Thorne was willing to do anything just to save her. He didn’t know when he told me that Lady Vella was his daughter.”“Oh…” General Morbius mumbled with a whisper, looking at Elder Clagmor who still didn’t want to maintain eye contact with him.“I s

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVENElder Clagmor knew instantly that he was going to be disappointed, but he still wanted to be certain that there was no solace for him.“General Morbius?” He said with a whisper, still staring at the General who sniggered at him at once, staring at him with an expression that did nothing else but taunt him.“You promised to set me free, General. You promised! You should keep to your words!”“Yes, Elder Clagmor. I intend to keep to my words. I said I was going to make sure you were taken out of this place, and that is what is going to happen.” General Morbius turned toward the direction of the entrance into the small house while the other men in the room followed the direction his eyes went.“Come in!” General Morbius said imperatively, and at once, two soldiers walked into the room, holding onto their swords.“What is going on?” Elder Clagmor panicked when he saw the soldiers, but General Morbius ignored him and waited until the soldiers got really close to him.“Ge

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT“I am General, Morbius, Aleric. I am afraid of no one.” The General bragged, looking confidently at Aleric who chuckled softly.“I am fully aware of that, General. I am also aware of the fact that we cannot belittle the vile nature of Lord Thorne who surely wants to get you out of the way.” Aleric said calmly, looking at the General who chuckled softly.“I am certain that I will be ready by the time he comes, Aleric. You should get going, the paths to your town are unsafe, and I am certain that you are tired from your encounter with the man you just killed.”Aleric sighed softly and after he had given the General one last look, he grabbed the lead rope from the soldier holding onto the horse, and then he effortlessly climbed on top of the horse while still holding onto the rope.“Goodbye, General Morbius. I am looking forward to our next meeting.”“Goodnight, Aleric. My regards to your people, and I am certain that they will be happy to learn that I spared your

CHAPTER FORTY-NINEWith every stomp, the horse made while it galloped along the path back into the capital city, Aleric bounced on its back, hoping to get to the General before things could get out of hand.He looked ahead of him, but the darkness that lingered couldn’t let him see much even with the rays from the moonlight.“Faster, horse! Go faster!” He kicked the horse harder, causing it to neigh while it increased its speed. Aleric held onto it tightly, and without being told, he knew that whatever he was going to face was going to be very deadly. Even his heartbeat became faster just like the gallops of the horse, and his breath seemed to be looking for a means to escape from him.“That way! Go that way!” Aleric dragged the lead rope he was holding in his hands to the left when he noticed that the horse was heading toward the right, leaving the straight path that it ran on. The horse refused to listen to Aleric, struggling with him to go to the right while Aleric dragged it t

CHAPTER FIFTY“What if I explode?” He thought to himself, staring at the flames that initially did not give him any reason to be afraid until he heard the warning from Arithea who sounded very firm and serious.“Arithea? Is there any other way I can get into the house without having to go through the fire?”“There is none, the entire house is blazing with fire, and soon, it will be burnt down to ashes.”“That is why I have to go in there and rescue the General, Arithea! I don’t even know where he is, but I still have to rescue him!” Aleric said with a nervous tone, looking at the house which continued to burn while sparks of fire resounded from several corners of it.“I have to go in there, Arithea! I do not have any choice!”“I could help your body absorb some of the heat from the fire by extracting some of the water in you, but that would make you very thirsty and in need of water. Are you up for it?” Arithea waited patiently for Aleric to make a decision while he stood in front o
