"What makes you think that I'll accept your offer when you couldn't accept mine?" The Archmage said as he raised his palm. The ground shook, and from the depths, boulders shot out of the ground and headed toward him.Kaien made a low hum and watched the boulders come at him at full speed."Prepare to be crushed!" The Archmage ignited the boulders ablaze and increased their movement speed. Just as they were set to hit Kaien, they came to an abrupt stop right before him.All around him, the boulders came to a sharp stop."What?""You're not the only one with tricks." Kaien smirked. "Now leave the Archmage's body, or you are the one who will get crushed."The Archmage refused and made different gestures. He cast many spells, all directed at Kaien, but then all the spells stopped right at the same spot the boulders had stopped."What's the meaning of this?""I suggest you stop. I don't want to hurt you.""There must be something else about you. How are you able to stop my attacks?!"Kaien

The Prince and the Archmage arrived at the lower level of the castle. The Mage still hesitated to take one more step forward. "Prince, I feel that we shouldn't go in alone." Fear eminent in his voice, going back into the lower level of the castle felt like a nightmare now But the Prince wasn't going to back down eitherway, he was far more determined to make sure no one else gets possessed like Sir Marcus "Taking anyone else aside from you and me is a risk," the Prince said. "I strongly believe we can contain whatever threats we may encounter.""I know you keep to your word, my Prince, but judging from what happened—" The Archmage swallowed. "I fear I may lose control once again.""You won't. Just be ready." The Prince's last words were final. He moved into the lower level of the castle."I heard the Prince just returned from the clinic," Li San told Kaien as she came into his room. "He and the Mage went toward an entrance I don't know where it leads, but they seemed to be in a hurr

Down the half demolished landscape of the capital city of the Ashmoon kingdom, smokes traveled fast into the vacuum of space but beneath the dark gloomy skies. Kaien stood triumphantly upon the face of a possessed individual. "What do you want to know?" The spirit threw the question before Kaien could obliterate it. "What's your master's name?" If the spirit were trapped in that human body, you would have seen him frown. "You said you know my master, and now you're asking me for his name?!" Kaien sighed. "The reason why I'm asking is none of your concern. Your job is to tell me who your master is, and I won't destroy you." The spirit stopped struggling for a moment. It tried to assess the situation it was in. It was already very clear that Kaien was far too strong to deal with, and there was no chance of escape from this binding technique. "Vex'tharion. That's my master's name." "Now that wasn't so hard, was it?" Kaien's attention was drawn by Li San, who was chargin

Beneath the castle ground, where the air meant harm to anyone who tried to breathe it, Marcus remained within Vex'tharion's grasp, waiting for him to finally decide on his decision. "Fine then. If it is me you want, it is me you get. Do not involve the siblings into this." Marcus's breathing came in ragged waves after that. "So overprotective..." Vex'tharion chuckled. "Now watch me transform you into the most powerful mage of this century. So long as you remain loyal to me, I will ensure that no one will be able to stand up to you." A wave of dark and red energy enveloped the Mage like a cocoon. "It will be like attaining Godhood. No one would ever be able to stop you again." The ball grew brighter by the minute. "With just a wave of your hands, people perish. Words can be changed. You'd be able to do things that you couldn't do before, even at your peak moments." The ball lasted for minutes, crackling with red sparks around it. "Everyone will fear you." Marcus shot forth from th
