Babylion tilted his body and pulled his hands behind his back. He smiled meaningfully while looking at Dominic in a condescending manner. “Lion.” Said Babylion. “I would like it better if people call me that. If you want to know what creature I am, I don’t think you have to question it after seeing my purple eyes. I am the creatures who reside in Hell for years and centuries. I am someone who everyone feared.” “Demon,” uttered Dominic with his teeth gritted tightly. “You are the one who had corrupted Rose and forced her to make a contract with you.” “Force?” Babylion laughed aloud, throwing his head to the back and bringing his hands to the stomach as if to stifle down his laughter. “YOU are the reason why she had to form a contract with me, Dominic. You are the one that caused her to run to me, silly. You can’t just blame me for something I didn’t do even if I am a demon.”Dominic frowned after hearing his words, “You really are a demon.”“And you are not so far from me, aren’t you
Meanwhile inside the black mansion was Isaac who had made his way to meet the Master. He knew the only last method for him to bring the crown and rest them on the Master’s head was by attacking the black mansion. Looking back to the antique interior of the mansion, Isaac couldn’t help but to remember the first time when he had came to the place, brought by the Master who had just saved him after his rough childhood and his family’s abuse. He recalled how the Master helped him to dress in a warmer clothing and he remembered well how the Master waited for him to eat, showing his concern when he was in pain and being there to listen to him as he wept for what his parents had done to him. All this time, Isaac had only wanted to repay the Master’s kindness, swearing that he would make him to be the King of Essex as he should have before those royals humans who wanted to take him off from his status. He didn’t expect that the Master would be so against of killing humans, even refusing t

Shawn continued to pour his magic to the crystal ball. When he closed his eyes he could see the vision of the fight that had occurred between the Master and Isaac. Isaac was vicious when he fight and being someone who stayed beside Isaac as he killed people, Shawn could tell what was his next move and how deadly each of his movements are. Isaac aimed directly for the Master’s neck, with the idea of subduing him. Shawn couldn’t understand how Isaac would put the crown on Master’s head if they were at each other’s throat right now. But the Master wasn’t bad on his own either. Even though he had the appearance of someone who would spend most of his time reading books, the Master’s movement was agile and quick. He managed to avoid all the harmful attacks that Isaac directed, moving in such a fluid movement that he didn’t appear to be fighting against Isaac. Shawn could instantly feel the big difference of power between Isaac and the Master. It couldn’t help but made him wonder if the M
Isaac’s grin grew wider as the Master have found out what he did. He took a step forward and spread his arms across across his body. He said with a wide smile, “Indeed, I did what you told me to do. Everyone said that one person can make one contract with only a single demon. When I asked you in the past if I could do more, what did you tell me?” “It is impossible,” whispered the Master, “Isaac! I could forgive you for anything else but two demons?” “What’s wrong? No one has suffered with it,” uttered Isaac. “Well although soon they will. Those people on the surface, I will make sure they are frightened of us. I will show them how powerful they are by cutting their numbers in halves. Essex will then become a kingdom dominated by the sorcerers!”“You gave your soul to your first demon,” The Master said with a frown, “Then what had you given for the second demon?” Isaac was deadly silent and watch the Master who had asked him question. “What about letting me touch your hands and then
Isaac seemed to love seeing how the Master was losing his coolness. He chuckled widely and in craze, “I think you believed that no soul left in this world would know anything, anything about your evil doings. But no, there is indeed someone who knows about it.” The Master didn’t want to remember about it. What kind of evil deed he had done in order to protect his family, what kind of actions he had coldly choice because he wanted to protect the other sorcerers. “I know the truth behind the curse that had doomed upon your family master. I know that it wasn’t to make sure that you wouldn’t step out of this city but it is for your blood not to multiply. It’s a terrible curse isn’t it? Causing for families to kill each other until the single one who survive win.”The Master didn’t pay heed on what Isaac had spoken, only attacking viciously to shut his mouth before Isaac could bring forth further truth about him and the reason why he had been so insistent to make sure that he wouldn’t st
“Gallahan,” said a woman in front of the silver haired man who couldn’t help but stare at his hands in horror as it was drenched with blood. “It’s alright,” whispered the woman as she pulled his hand that was holding a dagger toward her own heart. “It’s alright,” she repeated. Through his eyes that were closed, Shawn realized what he was seeing between the fight that occurred as Isaac tried to instigate the Master’s anger from him.He recalled in one of their conversations when Isaac was feeling a little chatty after a few drinks with him. It was a story of a “miserable strong hero” that stuck to Shawn’s head until now. The story started with a man who was cursed by his blood. The curse state that any one who bear the blood of the renown sorcerer, the leader of those sorcerers, will always have to kill their own blood relative until only a single one of them survive. What will happen if they didn’t kill their own relative?All of them will die. It was a simple yet grim curse where
Dominic snapped his eyes opened. Through the dark lake, his golden eyes glowered in the deep water. He tried to look around, in haste to find Rose who had been sucked in with him. He wondered where she as he couldn’t find her for the first five seconds as he submerged inside the water. He only realized after a while how Rose was behind him. Quickly without caring for anything, his arms reached out to grab her hips, pulling her in. Rose’s green eyes turned wide as she found him closer to her. Quickly, she tried to let go of his hands, removing him from her but Dominic’s hands was tighter around her, holding her in. He hugged her. Despite being hit by her hands and her trying to move away from him, Dominic only tightened his hand and tried to swim to the surface. Rose who couldn’t breathe in as water filled her lungs began to cough and suffocate. She lifted her face only to see how his eyebrows had knitted tightly together and his hands that grabbed her whole head from the back, lift
The guests had filled the entrance of the castle faster than how a fire would spread. Colors filled the white walls as not a single place inside was missed from being decorated. Some of the guests gladly greeted Dominic and his wife, Rose. They had acknowledge her soon and even called Dominic “duke”. As soon after the incident, Dominic ruled out is father’s death and take over the duchy, being the new ruler of his fief. “Congratulation on your marriage, I apologize for being late with my words of happiness, Duke Dominic,” said one of the guest, Mr. Hanggs. “It’s nice to see you too, madam Rose.”“Pleasure to meet you,” Rose greeted the man’s words back. “How is the land now to you, Mr. Hanggs?” Dominic asked the wise man who seemed to be quiet. “It does feel different now. I gradually found people who could suddenly fill empty barrel with water as miracle instead of fearing them. I’m also glad to see how wise our King is as he had rooted off all the corrupted royals. Now Essex fee
The ground shook and the impact of the explosion launched both Dominic and Rose backward. When Rose couldn’t hold him tighter anymore, she almost slipped from his back and fell. Seeing that, Dominic changed to his human form, capturing her body even though he was on air and shielded her in a tight hug as they roll down across the cold floor with a harsh thud. Both Shawn and Gallahan was thrown backward. They tried to nail their feet on the floor to no avail as the extreme explosion would had destroyed the entire land if not because of the shield that Gallahan had perfected for years from his life. The entire world turn black for a moment and by the time it turn brighter again, Shawn saw Gallahan who had sprawled across the floor and Balbazor who had been reduced into a scorched human corpse. Even after that however, Balbazor didn’t stop moving. He crawled with his body like a snake, disregarding how his fingers had been turned into ash. No one could ever see his features anymore, o
Gallahan faced off Balbazor alone. It was a crazy feat to not even die after receiving the harmful attack that was made to eradicate humans and Gallahan’s performance so far have shocked everyone including Balbazor himself. “You are agile,” commented Balbazor. “But if this tentacles weren’t around me, I would have destroyed you in seconds by now.” “Making excuses now? When you killed my family with your curse, you were extremely silent. I’ll put that mouth of yours to rest too,” Gallahan quirked a smirked, urging anger and fuming Balbazor. The ancient demon opened his mouth again but this time, Gallahan had a smarter option. Rather than shielding himself, he rushed forward. Balbazor smiled, thinking how foolish this human is for coming on to him face to face but he was startled as he saw Gallahan had dodged his previous explosion attack. This time, Gallahan murmured a spell and a sharp blue light appeared from his hand which went straight directly to Balbazor’s thick neck. The an
“Brother, are we not related?” Young Shawn’s voice echoed against his ears. Dominic looked down at the child that had overheard the conversation of the adult. Gently he wrapped his fingers around his brother’s little ones and gave him a gentle smile, “Does it matter? Nothing will change even if we aren’t related, you will always be my brother.”Back to the present, Dominic found himself yelling at Shawn’s name as Balbazor had thrown a powerful magic at them. Rose’s eyes snapped open, showing the glistening green eyes of her had changed into purple. At the same time she uttered her spell, the wall broke. Dominic took no chance. He jumped from the staircase, landing down his two feet as a wolf and ran after Shawn. Surprisingly, Gallahan had stood in front of Shawn, shielding them both from the explosion. “I told you to stay away child!” Gallahan yelled to Rose who had rebuilt the wall.“I can help you ease the miasma,” she said, convincing the man only to see him frowning in disagre
When Dominic and Rose arrived at the foot of the door, they found that the glow of purple light had stopped and was quickly greeted by the roar of a monster. “It’s Balbazor, the ancient demon,” Rose explained, jumping down from his body. Dominic shook off his fur and turned into his human form, standing right beside her fully clothed. Although there are other pressing matter she couldn’t help and pointed out, “You can be clothed now?” “Hm?” Dominic looked down on himself, “Right I got taught by the other werewolves how to do that the last time we met.” Rose smiled, thinking how surely the relationship between him and his father had evolved into something closer where they could teach and talk to each other eye to eye. Seeing the progress, she felt moved. “Well what is with this Balbazor?” Dominic pushed the door open for her, they both entering the mansion only to feel the ground beneath them shaking. “He is the ancient demon who had formed contract with the first sorceress. She
Gallahan wasn’t daunted by the fact that Balbazor was more than fifth fold of him, looking even bigger and monstrous. Shawn could feel that demon had no pity or hesitation on him, willingly killing anyone who stood on his way. For a moment Shawn questioned how he could ever kill this monstrous being in front of him, finding it abhorrent that his entire instinct yelled that killing it would be close to impossible. Even coming near the monster he could feel the brimming heat that would burn his skin. “Shawn,” Gallahan called his attention to make sure the younger man wouldn’t feel daunted and eaten alive by his own fear. Shawn then watched Gallahan who in comparison seemed to be eagerly waiting for this chance to come his hand. It was something he had been waiting for a long time… finally he could avenge the death of his family who all ended due this demon’s twisted curse! “I want to kill you, you won’t even believe how much I have been looking forward to this day. My heart is beati
Dominic’s silver eyes also noticed the swirl of purple glow from the black mansion and turned his head again to the view before him. “What did you and the Master talked about?” Inquired Dominic while they run through the forest. “I told him that I will do something about the demon inside Isaac if he could help me end my curse but then he surprised me by saying that he doesn’t need help.” Rose responded. “I trust him.” “I do think he is someone who wouldn’t hurt his fellow sorcerer, you weren’t wrong in trusting him,” Dominic encouraged her. “But that sound too good to be true. He always ask people for payment if he help them.” “He did ask for something, he said to continue fooling my demon, Babylion,” uttered Rose. “I asked him why and he told me so he could use Babylion to kill that ancient demon in response.”“So this entire charade is because of him.” Dominic narrowed his eyes. They can’t seem to trust the Master completely, that man would do anything if it means to fulfil his
Shawn’s eyebrows furrowed as he saw a bright purple glow appearing from the room where the master and Isaac had fought in. As the master’s hand had been touched, Isaac had fulfilled his promise to erase the curse that plagued the Master. This should have call for a celebration regardless of the Master’s wish of never leaving the cave. But by fulfilling Isaac’s promise, the demon in him finally demanded for his reward and that reward was… for him to manifest into the world inside his body!When something suddenly clicked in his mind, Shawn bubbled out of anger.“Damn it! Damn it!” Shawn yelled, finally realizing the big mistake that he made by trusting that damn sorcerer king! He rushed out of the room, questioning everything that the sorcerer had done. He first of told him to imbue his magic on the crystal ball as if doing that would help. He said that by calming Isaac, he could convince him to drive out the demon inside. He also claimed that he wouldn’t kill Isaac thus why he had
Rose could feel the dark magic that entered her skin, crawling in such a disgusting way that she wanted to hurl but she couldn’t. There was something that was stopping her from moving and she couldn’t understand it as it felt slightly different when compared to the demonic magic that he uses on her. “Rose, make my life more colorful, won’t you?” Whispered Babylion. “Now go and betray your beloved. I want to see his face twisting in pain. From your memories, he seemed to the most fun to mess with.” Rose wanted to say no, she wanted to yell and disagree with Babylion’s words but she couldn’t move. She then had the sudden idea to play by what Babylion wanted and nodded her head slowly, agreeing that she would betray Dominic while her eyes turning unfocused, looking exactly similar as to someone who had just been bewitched.“Good, now play with me.” Back to the present, Rose run through her thins hands between her hair and pushed the golden locks to the back of her head, she sighed hea
