Chapter 414
Isaac stood in the center of the elevator. He put his black tablet into his pocket. He took out his silver pistol and checked the glowing white energy cell. Isaac looked down at Rick. "Doctor," Isaac said quietly over the humming sound of the moving elevator. Rick opened one tired brown eye. "Yes, Isaac?""I read her file," Isaac said. Rick stopped panting. He went very still. "Whose file?""Luna Elara," Isaac whispered. "Patient 7734. The Guild pronounced her dead ten years ago. Her heart was completely crystallized."The silence in the elevator was heavy. Rick stared at Isaac. Rick did not look angry. He just looked incredibly sad. Rick slowly pulled his knees to his chest. He rested his arms on his knees. "The official doctors gave up," Rick said softly. His voice was full of old, painful memories. "They cut her arm off. They saw the stone in her veins. They threw her into the junk piles to burn."Rick looked down at his own bare, scarred hands. "I found her in the ash," Ri
Chapter 413
The text on the screen was stamped with a bright red, official Guild warning. `[STATUS: DECEASED.]``[TIME OF DEATH: 10 YEARS AGO.]``[CAUSE OF DEATH: COMPLETE HEART FAILURE DUE TO TERMINAL CRYSTAL ROT.]``[MEDICAL EXAMINER SIGNATURES: DR. VANCE, DR. KRELL, DR. STERLING.]`Isaac stared at the glowing red word. [DECEASED.] "No," Isaac whispered to the quiet screen. "That is impossible."He read the file again. He checked the signatures. Three official, high-level Guild doctors had signed her death certificate ten years ago. They had checked her pulse. They had checked her brain waves. Luna Elara died on an operating table ten years ago. Her heart had turned to stone and stopped beating. But Isaac had just seen her yesterday. He had seen her running through the subway station. He had seen her holding a heavy iron wrench, ready to fight his assassins. He had seen her cry. He had seen her laugh. She was alive. Isaac slowly lifted his head from the tablet. He looked over his shoul
Chapter 412
The massive beasts snarled. Their purple eyes burned with toxic hunger. Green acid dripped from their iron teeth. "Intruders!" the lead cultist screamed. He pointed his rusted sword at Rick and Isaac. "The green demon is here! Kill them! Protect the Mother Seed!"Rick did not flinch. He stood his ground. He held his staff with both hands. He did not summon a massive wall of green fire. He needed to save his magic for the final strike. He would have to fight them using pure physical skill and tiny, perfectly timed bursts of Earth Qi. "Work fast, Isaac," Rick whispered. "I am working," Isaac replied calmly, typing a hundred words a minute. The cultists charged. They ran across the black stone, screaming like madmen. Rick stepped forward to meet them. The first cultist swung his rusted sword directly at Rick’s neck. Rick ducked smoothly. He spun his staff, smashing the heavy wood into the cultist’s knees. CRACK! The man fell to the ground. Rick tapped the back of the man's neck
Chapter 411
The fire burned bright orange and hot red. The giant, black iron gates of the Iron Citadel were completely destroyed. They were blown into a thousand jagged pieces. Thick, dark smoke poured into the freezing night sky. In the center of the burning wreckage sat the Silver Hawk. The sleek, white flying ship was ruined. The wings were crushed. The glass window of the cockpit was shattered. Flames licked at the sides of the metal hull. Rick ran through the gray ash. His boots hit the ground hard. His green shirt was covered in sweat and dirt. His brown eyes were wide with worry. He held his wooden staff tightly. The green light at the tip of the staff pushed the dark smoke away. "Isaac!" Rick shouted over the roaring fire. "Isaac, are you alive?!"Rick ran up to the burning ship. He reached out to pull the broken metal door open. Before Rick could touch it, the metal door kicked open from the inside. A figure stepped out of the smoke. It was Auditor Isaac. Isaac did not look perfe
Chapter 410
Isaac did not panic. He did not scream. He looked at the melting glass window. The acid was eating through. In a few seconds, the poison would hit his face. Isaac took a deep breath. He let go of the steering wheel. He reached into his shoulder holster. He pulled out his sleek, silver pistol. The gun hummed with white magic. He stood up from the pilot's chair. He pointed the gun directly at the melting glass window. "I prefer an open view," Isaac said smoothly. He pulled the trigger. BLAST!The white magic shot from the gun. It hit the window and the giant Rust Bat clinging to the outside. The glass and the monster were instantly deleted. They vanished into white dust. A massive, freezing, howling wind rushed into the cockpit. The noise was deafening. The cold air ripped at Isaac’s white suit and his dark gray cloak. Isaac stood firmly, holding onto the metal console. He looked out through the giant hole in the front of his falling ship. He could see the ground rushing up to m
Chapter 409
Isaac stared at the video. The date on the video file said it was recorded forty years ago. Isaac looked closely at the man's face in the video. It was Rick. He looked exactly the same. He did not look one day younger. He did not look one day older. His brown eyes were just as warm, just as tired, and just as kind. "It is true," Isaac whispered in awe. "He is an ancient."The Guild had written notes next to the video. “The anomaly calls himself a doctor,” the notes said. “He does not age. His magic does not fade. We believe he is the last survivor of the First Age of Magic. He is a living fossil. We cannot catch him. He is too fast. He cares too much about the bugs in the dirt.”Isaac watched the video replay. He watched Rick heal a crying woman. He watched Rick smile. Isaac finally understood the true core struggle of the Ghost Doctor. Rick had watched the world fall apart for decades. He had watched generations of people grow old and die. He had seen the Guild rise to power.
