“What is that thing?” “It’s an evil magical box,” Lisa replied. “This magic box has the power to spread its magic to thousands of people.” “That’s more than just a large crowd—it’s like an entire army,” Harry said. “Exactly. So, when our mentor discovered Yolanda’s scheme, she informed our elders. After a discussion, we decided to enlist Maria. On the very day Yolanda intended to elevate her dark magic to its highest level, Maria appeared and destroyed the grimoires containing Yolanda’s spells. The two of them immediately engaged in battle.” “Who won?” I asked Ethan. “No one. It wasn’t impossible for Maria, who practiced traditional magic, to defeat Yolanda, who wielded dark magic, but it was certainly challenging. Unfortunately, someone with a dark heart can be quite underhanded. Yolanda took advantage of our mentor’s feelings for her, capturing her and using her as leverage to threaten Maria, seizing the opportunity to ambush her. Unable to stand idly by, others joined Maria to
As expected, we really chose the wrong place. Yet another person who overheard our conversation from outside decided to join us—Kim.As soon as Neil saw Kim, he felt guilty and immediately apologized for revealing Kim's secret without permission. Surprisingly, Kim wasn't angry at all. Instead, he was grateful to Neil, thanking him for letting him know about Maria's whereabouts."It's okay, Neil. Thank you. This way, I can also find out about Maria," Kim said, patting Neil on the shoulder, a hint of relief in his eyes. Not only that, he urged everyone to set off immediately, insisting that we reach Maria's house today.Since everyone agreed, we decided to head to the powerful magician's house together. Those of us who had been there before knew that reaching Maria's house wasn't easy, except for the last time when I was injured and Maria had removed the protective barrier. For safety reasons, I and the two magicians were split into three separate cars.Ethan led Peter and Kim since the
"From the way you’re talking, it seems like Roy is really important to Yolanda," Maria remarked."Maria, why do you think Yolanda needs Roy so much? Is there some kind of dark magic that can bind them together?" Ethan asked."The only things I can think of are the two spells she’s been secretly practicing: mind control and magic absorption," Maria replied."But Ethan and Lisa mentioned that those dark spell books have already been destroyed. Yolanda won’t have the chance to master those dark arts, plus, the magic box is with us. What other power could she have?" Harry questioned."What about other magic boxes?" she continued."There are magic boxes?" I echoed in surprise, looking at Maria."Other magic boxes?" Lisa was equally puzzled."As far as I know, there are three magic boxes in total: one for the magicians, which can only be opened by a magician; one for the werewolves, which can only be opened by a werewolf together with a magician; and one for the vampires, which can only be
"If Yolanda's goal is indeed to open the magic box and release the spirit, it implies that the spirit would assist her in some way, perhaps by spreading magical abilities," Harry said, frowning.Ethan nodded in agreement. "Exactly."Harry continued, "But if the vampire’s magic box is really in Yolanda's possession, what exactly does she intend to do with it?"Lisa interjected, "If she has the support of other vampires, it all makes sense.""But in that case, she wouldn't need Roy. Roy is a werewolf," Harry said, shaking his head in confusion.Peter suddenly spoke up, "Could she be after the werewolf’s magic box?"I couldn't help but chime in, "Even I didn't know the werewolf’s magic box was with me. How could she possibly know?"Harry sighed, "That still doesn't add up."Maria smiled slightly; her expression enigmatic. "Perhaps only Yolanda herself knows the answer to that."At Maria’s house, I felt a bit fortunate. Being more familiar with Maria, she assigned Neil and me to the same
The black wolf stood tall and formidable, exuding an aura of power and wisdom. Its deep, penetrating eyes seemed to peer into my very soul, carrying an ineffable strength and intelligence. I was stunned, almost rendered speechless by its ability to talk. The wolf's gaze locked onto mine, cutting through the virtual facade and reaching the core of my being. In that moment, I felt a powerful sense of awe and wonder, my heart racing. Unable to contain my curiosity, I asked, “How did you know I was one of your kind?”The black wolf's response was imbued with mystery and an extraordinary wisdom. Its gaze was gentle yet profound, and its deep voice carried a sense of comfort and understanding. "I sensed your presence," it said. "Even in this virtual world, the noble aura of the wolf clan that you emanate cannot be hidden." Its words left me both astonished and bewildered, adding to my confusion."Isn't this a virtual world?" I asked cautiously.The black wolf replied slowly, “Although this
The comment sent us into fits of laughter, the absurdity of the comparison too delightful to resist. Peter, in mock indignation, seized Neil and began tickling him mercilessly. Neil's laughter quickly became uncontrollable, and he begged for mercy as we watched with amused smiles. The laughter and playful banter provided a welcome escape from our real-world troubles, allowing us to savor a rare moment of lightheartedness and joy.In addition to these wonders, we discovered many more intriguing places and magical creatures. Inside a mysterious cave, we found glowing gemstones that, if sold, would surely fetch a handsome price; unknown to Neil, the three CEO behind him eyed them with visible covetousness. In an enchanted forest, we encountered a talking ancient tree, which, without warning, shot out vines to envelop us in a rather comical embrace. By a dreamlike waterfall, we saw a rainbow bridge, a sight so enchanting it defied reality. Every discovery filled us with awe and excitement
Maybe I had held back too long, waiting for this moment with Neil Black for what felt like an eternity. I hadn't anticipated just how strong my desire for him would be. As soon as I caught my breath, I wanted more. "One more time, okay? Please?"I pressed Neil against me, our sweat-slicked bodies melded together, the heat between us reigniting. My arousal was still buried deep inside him. Neil's breath quickened, his eyes glazed over, and soon enough, he was lost to my relentless hunger once again.I turned him over, gripping his waist as I made sure his head rested safely on the pillow. His hands clutched the sheets, legs spread apart. That familiar, intimate invasion resumed.The intensity of it all made Neil's body shudder, his hips lifting to meet my movements, his skin flushing from a gentle pink to a vivid red. His exhausted, weak moans filled the room, making him all the more enticing.I traced my tongue over his skin, nuzzling and licking, leaving a trail of heat in my wake. I
We left Maria’s house and headed towards the designated meeting place set by Roy. Tension hung heavy in the air, each step we took felt like treading on thin ice. Inside the car, silence reigned, broken only by the sound of the wheels rolling through the night. Neil sat beside me, his palm sweaty, his hand gripping mine tightly, unwilling to let go. I leaned in and whispered, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.” Neil gave a faint smile, “I trust you.”The road ahead seemed endless, shrouded in darkness and uncertainty. As we drove, the weight of the situation pressed down on us, but the bond we shared provided a glimmer of hope. Each of us was lost in our own thoughts, preparing mentally for what lay ahead.Harry, seated in the front, occasionally glanced back, his eyes filled with a mix of concern and determination. Peter and Ethan were deep in conversation, strategizing quietly, ensuring we were ready for any eventuality. Lisa, sitting beside Harry, held the Soul Lock Ring, her fingers
