CHAPTER FIFTY-ONEThe moment Aleric tried to take a step toward the exit of the house, another piece of wood fell from the roof, and even though it was smaller than the previous one, the sparks of fire that scattered all over the place from it burnt Aleric on his arm, causing him to grunt while he took two steps backward.He stared at the exit for a while, and when he looked up and saw that another piece of wood was getting ready to fall from the roof, he quickly dashed out of the house, ignoring the fire that burnt his clothes until he was far away from the house, and dropped the General on the ground before he lay on the floor and rolled from one corner to the other in an attempt to take off the fire that almost burnt him.Instantly, General Morbius let out a heavy cough while he lay on the floor, and after a short while, he managed to push himself up with a loud gasp, panting while he continued coughing, attempting to get a grip on himself.He managed to keep his eyes open, looki

CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE Aleric took one last look at the couple who were still wary of him while they continued staring at each other. They refused to say even a word even though they had several thoughts running through their minds while they struggled with the nervousness that engulfed them.“Thank you for the water!” Aleric said with a smile on his face, and then he waved at them before he turned slowly and walked out of the house. He looked at the door the General had kicked open, and then he sighed heavily.“Your body has returned to a normal temperature, but do well to ensure that you stay away from any form of heat, or you may not be able to survive the next breakdown,” Arithea warned while Aleric was forced to stop instantly in front of the house, looking down with a look of despair cemented all over his face.“I guess I might as well be preparing myself for the worst thing that could happen, Arithea. I just have a lot of things to take care of, and there is no way I can aband

CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVEEven though he was silent and patient at the same time, General Morbius anticipated what he planned to do to the mercenary who had caused him so much pain. He continued waiting patiently until he was very close to him, and when he peeped from the back of ye pillar to ascertain that he was close to him, he made his move at once, grabbed the brawny man from the back, and while he held onto his neck tightly with his left hand, he plunged his sword into his side, pushing deeper and deeper until there was almost nothing left.“Look at me! Look at me!” General Morbius turned the mercenary who grunted and whimpered in so much pain while blood freely gushed out from both his side and his mouth.“Do you remember me? Do you remember this face, huh? Look at me!” General Titis lifted the face of the mercenary who was shocked as soon as he recognized him from their previous encounter before they set the small house ablaze.“I want to see the look on your face when you die! You s

CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVENAleric looked at the ninjas with a glare on his face, and as soon as the General walked up to him, he turned to look at him without saying a word.“There is no way I am letting you have all the fun, Aleric Sworne.”“Well, do you think you are up for it?” Aleric said with a whisper, looking at the General who nodded in response even though the look on his face showed that he was in so much pain.“I hope you don’t give him a chance to kill you. Kill him before he does.”“Gladly, Aleric.” General Morbius nodded in response, and then he started moving toward the ninja in front of him while Aleric took the other one.Before another blink it an eyelid, the ninjas had already started moving toward them with so much speed. It seemed like they were not the only ones eager to engage in combat as the ninjas bent in a combat posture, holding onto their katana swords before they made the first move.“This is going to take a while,” Aleric said based on what he saw in front

CHAPTER FIFTY-NINEAleric struggled with the guilt that crept into his mind while he watched the General who effortlessly dragged the ninja to a corner of the space, sweeping the floor with her body after giving her two heavy punches on the face which Aleric was certain was going to give her so many bruises and swell.“Whoever is friends with Lord Thorne is an enemy of the throne! And enemies of the throne deserve to die! All of you!” General Morbius said with so much anger laced in his voice, and while he was still dragging the ninja who let go of her swords while she grunted in pain, Aleric heard the sound of heavy footsteps stomping toward them which made him then at once.“General Morbius!” Lord Thorne said with so much disappointment as soon as he saw the General whom he was told had burnt to ashes. He turned to look at the five men standing close to him with so much anger while they took several steps backward, afraid of what their fate could be.“Shoot him down at once! Do i
