Gareth's entire body was filled with sweat from head to toe... the process of separating the healing properties from mana had been one herculean task... from separating, to infusing and then diffusing, eventually evaporating... meaning, he had turned his entire body into a flaming furnance burning his clothes to ashes. Now, Rime was sitting in front of a guy who didn't have shame, showing his birthday suit in front of another guy... "I was just teaching you, I even directed you on how you can separate it and you went ahead to burn yourself. I am starting to question whether this is on purpose."Gareth scoffed, "we are men, why are you complaining? It is not like you are a pretty girl.... shit, I forgot to say, Nandine reached out me, she wanted to know how you are doing."Rime frowned, "so you had your phone on you all these while and you let us go through hell?"Gareth smiled, "my phone is private if you ask me... so even the slightest ding will get me all worked up sooo, yeah.""Sh

Bruce was standing just outside the hotel when Rime bolted out... but he did not even get to say what he wanted before Bruce commanded. "Get Rumiel, Timothy and Gareth."Rime locked the screen to Gareth's phone and asked, "is something wrong?"Bruce sighed... "Fiona sent a blue print, i knew what they had been up to but did not stop them since it was for a good course, only hoping that they don't die... but Curt, nah the kid is about to be cut open on Elias' orders and if the four of you don't get there in time, you might never see the kid again."Rime frowned, "he is clearly trying to lure us Bruce, he wouldn't really try to kill him."Bruce turned to Rime and said, "every moment you spend trying to argue with me will only bring Curt closer to death."Rime turned immediately and disappeared into the hotel. A few moments later, the four of them stood before Bruce with grim expressions on their faces... "Go back to Nida... and take the path that you had used when trying to escape from

The moment Rumiel took the form of that blade, the entire world became his... Elias stared at that singular blade and his expression changed drastically. This guy is dangerous...He realised, and then decided to use his aspect. The world that had apperantly been Rumiel's was suddenly snatched from him in an instant... connecting with the universe was one thing, but being pulled out of that state was very, very dangerous.Rumiel did not slow down after losing one ally. Then he immediately duplicated himself, just like Bruce had taught him to, almost like a bad dream, one blade became an endless blade... and when he reached Elias who had positioned to slap him to death, Rumiel extricated himself from the sword, appearing just behind him and making balls of pressure that transformed into spears and struck right behind Elias.Elias who was concentrated on the blades suddenly felt a chill behind him.While Elias was being overwhelmed and preoccupied, Rime smiled, transporting Gareth and

Rime turned to Donovan and said, "can you stay back with Orion and protect each other...?"Donovan shook his head, "I want to be there when Kaylee and Pryce will be released. Staying back with him will be torture, remember his weird sense of humor?"Rime laughed.... "Yep, anyone who stays with him will always be teased for reasons only known to him. My only piece of advice to you is to endure it. Elias Vorn will become a sage... we might not even get to do anything yet and have to face him in a fight... but we know that becoming a sage will require much from him so, he might not be available for the time being allowing us to infiltrate the base. You will also have to help Orion on that particular task i have assigned to him so with both of you, it will be more efficient. Do you understand now?"Donovan sighed..."There's likely a chance that I might die there... or Orion, so it will be better this way."Rime smiled, "thanks for understanding..."Meanwhile, Rumiel stood before the two

Shifeng and his team had already captured who they wanted, about to go threaten the others only to feel the unstoppable power of a mage push through the entirety of cape town so they escaped before they would undoubtedly be trapped in that inescapable jaws of time. Lexy however who had gone far could only hide somewhere safe until the time stop domain was lifted.Rime, Rumiel, everyone... they watched in shock as several men burst into cape town, destroying the barrier that protected the city with equal ease, the energy shield or barrier must have weakened after the ambient mana had been sucked almost dry from the city and finally, the man of the hour arrived, staring at the frozen kids with dark glee dancing in his iris. "So I already have you where I want you to be, huh?" He smiled, causing waves of energy to move in the atmosphere, reinstating his presence and dominance in cape town. Rime immediately tried to reach out to Bruce, but the noise in his mind was like a static radiow
