However, just as the robed man slowly approached him, the Shaman suddenly got up and grabbed the man’s throat.
"You— "
"You fucking imbecile! You dare put poison on a devil’s dagger!? It seems that you aren’t only stupid! You are incompetent!" the Shaman spat a mouthful of blood, anger visible in his eyes. Now, this man had truly angered him. Sadly, this isn’t the man’s real body. If only he knew where this man is right now! He tightened his hand around the man’s neck without giving the man the opportunity to say another word. That’s right. He is going to kill this body.
Obviously, the fact that this isn’t the man’s real body doesn’t concern him.
Feeling the life disappear from the man’s body, the Shaman scoffed and waited for him to breathe his last before throwing the body next to the woman who fought against him earlier.
Then he spat out another mouthful of blood. freёwebnovel.com
He might be dying but how could a mere poison kill someone like him who had a fragment of a God!?
He immediately used his magick to add more shield to Ava before he sat next to her. Then he let out a sigh.
Ah.... Why does it seem like everything had become more and more complicated!? The longer he knew Ava, the more he realized that her life is very complicated! If only he had met her earlier!
..........................
Ava stared at the robed man as he vomit mouthful upon mouthful of blood. She couldn’t help but wonder if the robed man had actually fought with the Shaman.
"Sir Idwal... is everything alright?"
For the first time since Ava followed the man, she finally saw another one who called out the robed man’s name. This time, it was a woman with fiery red hair and freckles.
"Sir?" the woman approached the robed man who was still vomiting blood not far away from Ava. "Go get Sir Griffin... Sir Idwal needed help." The woman said. After a few minutes, two other people walked into the room. And helped the robed man up. Surprisingly, they are wearing robes too!
What the hell is wrong with these people? Ava couldn’t help but asked herself. Why does it seem like they are hiding their faces?
"What happened?" One of the robed men asked Sir Idwal after he finally stopped coughing up blood.
"I fought with a Shaman."
"And you ended up in this state?" the other asked. "How?"
"It wasn’t just a witch! It was.... Ugh... this body is dying. I need another one!"
"We will do the procedure tonight."
"I want it now."
"Are you certain you want it now that your abilities had been drained because of your latest fight with that Shaman?"
"Tsk... Licia has died."
"What?"
"I thought I could lure the Shaman in by showing him that we have advanced research."
"Why would you want that Shaman? We have witches— an unlimited supply of them. I don’t— "
"That Shaman might be a dream walker."
"A dream walker you say?"
"Yes. He confirmed that he had a celestial fragment inside his body."
"He confirmed... just like that?"
"The dagger affected him."
"The devil’s dagger?"
"Yes." Idwal nodded. "But... it wasn’t enough. I need to kill that man!"
"If he has a celestial fragment then— "
"I know! You think I don’t know that?" Idwal said grumpily. "That man... have the power to walk between dimensions and realm. I want his body. I want him."
"What about your plan? You wanted Matthew Graydon’s body, right?"
"I cannot wait for that Lycan! This body — " Idwal removed the robe that covered his head and revealed a rotting face. "It’s dying!" he said. Despite the fact that this body had a celestial fragment, it wasn’t able to withstand his power and decided to rot from the inside! Of course, this wasn’t the first time that this happened so Idwal was pretty used to it.
However, the Shaman’s magick made his body deteriorate faster! Who would have thought that the poison that usually worked on people like the Shaman was useless? He intentionally made the Shaman lower his guard by sacrificing Licia— one of his trustworthy specimens and in the end, he still failed. How could he be happy with this kind of result!?
"What about the King?" one of the robed men suggested. "Drigo Graydon had a good body too... perhaps...."
"If we can get his body tonight that I would consider using him," Idwal said as pus fell from the large hole on his forehead. He grimaced and muttered something that Ava didn’t understand. "I want you to find that Matthew!"
"I thought that puppet what doing her best?"
"That Queen is taking too slow! I want Matthew’s body! I want it now!"
"I know, we are doing our best to make everything faster."
’What do you mean?"
"Civil war."
’What?"
"We decided to add fuel to the fire. Since you wanted Matthew’s body, why not just take the body of the other Lycans? Despite their weakness in magick, they still have a sturdy body."
"Tsk!"
Ava frowned. She had wondered why these people seemed to want to experiment on the witches and not on the Lycans. She just realized that this might be because Lycans are naturally weak against Magick. Meanwhile, witches have magick but didn’t have sturdy bodies. They wanted someone with both a strong body and magick!
Obviously, this is impossible. So, they have been experimenting, trying their best to get the result that they wanted.
However, it was pretty obvious that they have been failing at that.
Looking at the rotting flesh that was mixed with blood and pus, Ava forced herself not to puke. It was too disgusting! This should be the result of what they were doing now! The body was a product of their failed experiments.
A sigh echoed inside the room.
"Since it’s already like this. Let us prepare for a transference of consciousness tonight. This body won’t last that long. Prepare the strongest one for me. And get more witches up here! I refuse to believe that we are not capable of what they have achieved so far!"
