Ch. 63HELP


Philip and Marcelos’ armies caught up with Dawson, Nelson, Karl, Hemdal, the people, and the soldiers and they have them surrounded. Immediately they were surrounded, Dawson, Karl, Hemdal, Nelson, and the soldiers unsheathed and had their weapons ready and they gathered around the people to protect them. There was no choice at the moment but to fight Marcelos’ armies to make a way out for the people.

Dawson, Karl, Nelson, Hemdal, and the soldiers were about to fight Philip and Marcelos’ armies when they all suddenly saw arrows coming out of nowhere and the arrows were hitting Marcelos’ armies. Seeing what was happening, everyone wondered where the arrows were coming from just then they all saw a creature (much in number) attacking Philip and Marcelos’ armies.

Marcelos opens his eyes and meets himself standing in an unknown sphere. Seeing where he was, Marcelos knew it could be the work of no one if not the work of Esther then he said out loud angrily “show yourself Sa’er”.

Marcelos was expecting to see Esther but was surprised when he heard a voice welcome him which made him turn back toward the direction of the voice to see it was Redrick. Marcelos was surprised to see Redrick because he remembered that he killed Redrick.

Redrick saw that Marcelos was surprised to see him so he said to Marcelos “are you shocked to see me? Yeah, I am not sure you were expecting to see a dead man”.

“Where is Esther? I know she is the one who brought me here. She had made me feel inferior all because of the loss of my dark crystal” said Marcelos to Redrick.

“You were always inferior, Marcelos. Without your armies and powers, you are nothing. I don’t even feel any aura that should get me scared after meeting you face-to-face. You are not as great as they all claim you to be. You are handsome though but not great. Esther is also pretty occupied at the moment so sorry, she can’t be here” said Redrick.

“Does that mean you brought me here?” asked Marcelos.

“Yes, I did” said Redrick.

Marcelos gave a soft smile upon hearing that and said “is that how inferior I have become to be summoned to the spirit world by a lesser human?”.

“Yeah, maybe I was lesser before but not anymore. Well, Esther will always be one step ahead of you and without the powers in the dark crystal, you are nowhere match for her. I was able to bring you here with her powers though and she left her mark on you which will make her do things she wants with you. So she owns you for now” said Redrick.

“Esther is just a kid in this game. So how about you leave Esther and tell me how a dead man is talking to me at the moment?” said Marcelos.

“Maybe because I am not dead” said Redrick.

“That is not possible. You could not have survived the sword judging by the fact that you don’t have any supernatural energy” said Marcelos.

“Maybe you underestimate the powers of Esther. She is a Sa’er after all. And aren’t you curious that the Sa’er stopped existing ever since you had them all killed except the one that helped stop you but then Esther was born during the time you were bound to return to the world. That can only mean she is destined to end you and the world is against you. The world is trying to protect itself from you, from your infected mindset, and your rule. The world……..” said Redrick.

Redrick was cut short of words as Marcelos cut in saying to him “shut up before I have you killed again”.

Redrick moved closer to Marcelos and said to him “and how are you going to do? You are powerless in here and don’t forget, I am already dead. I am gonna let you figure out how come a dead person was able to summon you here using Esther’s powers”.

There was no way Marcelos could find that out without the dark crystal so he said to Redrick “I have a place to be so why don’t you tell me why you summoned me here. I am sure it is not to kill me to get revenge because I can’t be killed”.

“I will have my revenge in due time but now not though” said Redrick, and went to sit down on a chair that suddenly appeared.

Then Marcelos said to Redrick “you can dream on with your revenge. I would kill all of you and Esther before you ever even dream of revenging”.

“That is why I am thinking about keeping you here. I think keeping you here will get Hemdal, the shapeshifters, and the others to escape you and your armies” said Redrick with a smile.

Marcelos was surprised that Redrick knew that and wondered how Redrick was able to know that. Redrick saw the surprise on Marcelos’ face and said to Marcelos “it is funny that as powerful as you are, you still get surprised by things”.

“That is only because I don’t have enough powers to kill you in this moment as you speak. I will get the dark crystal sooner or later then you, Esther, and everyone can try your tricks then” said Marcelos with anger.

“It is good that you are vulnerable at the moment then. At least I get to see how weak and inferior you are without what makes you so great. It shows you are a human after all” said Redrick.

Marcelos was angry to hear those words and said “I would not like you ridicule like that. Return me right now”.

“Or what?……… You can possibly do nothing at the moment than submit. I am not letting you go anywhere. You are still one hell of a fighter even without your magic. Your fighting skills are one of a kind which give your armies courage in battle and your skills are dangerous to our people. I would love to learn those skills from you though but you wouldn’t teach me like you taught Ramsay, and that sucks. You should share what you have with others so you can be recognized. You get what I mean?” said Redrick.

“I know what it is you are doing. Don’t think Zussorader wouldn’t find a way to get me out of here. I would not be imprisoned here again like I was the first time. I will get out of here and kill everyone in that town before I find Esther and the others” said Marcelos angrily.

Then suddenly a chair appeared behind Marcelos and Redrick told him to sit down. Marcelos only sat down on the chair because he was tired of standing then Redrick said to him “it is funny that you have so much faith in that old man. Aren’t you even worried that he would betray you one day? I mean he betrayed his clan to wake you up and sided with evil. If he could do that to his kind so why can’t he do that to you? You should think about this before accepting people under you. You saw what happened with Lilia and Ramsay”.

“You can buy as much time as you want but I will have what is mine and kill you all when I have the chance” said Marcelos.

“Like you have the dragon gene? That is funny of you. It is also heartbroken that you have become so dense for someone as powerful as you. You think I came here to buy time for the people in the town that you have failed to capture after more than a month that you have been attacking them. Come on, it shows they can protect themselves from you and that only means your armies are not so much great” said Redrick.

Then in the blink of an eye, Marcelos was in front of Redrick with his right hand inside of Redrick's chest, holding Redrick's heart and Marcelos pulled out Redrick's heart. Immediately Redrick's heart was pulled out, Redrick fell from the chair to the ground dead then Marcelos heard Redrick say to him from behind “nice work, Marcelos”.

Hearing that, Marcelos turned back to see Redrick next to the chair he stood up from and the dead body of Redrick disappeared same as Redrick's heart in Marcelos’ hand. Redrick sat down on the chair and told Marcelos to also sit down back. Marcelos sat down back then Redrick said to Marcelos “it is funny that you actually thought you could kill me in here. How can you kill a man that is already dead?”.

“I only did that to shut you up. You talk too much. I was also able to know you are using Esther's magic and tricks. I have also come to realize you are not here to buy time because I am sure that you know you can’t keep me here as long as Zussorader is trying to wake me up in the real world” said Marcelos.

“I think you are getting it now. The town already has people to help them escape you and your armies so if I am not here to stall….. Why do you think I am here?” asked Redrick.

“There is no way you can know what is going on in the physical world if you are dead so that can only mean it is all Esther. Esther should be the one here instead of you so that can only mean she sent you here because whatever it is that Esther is doing can’t be left or better still, Esther can’t leave where she is. Though I don’t know how it became possible that you are here since you are dead, I am sure you need Esther's powers to be here. I am also sure you were sent here to get something from me” said Marcelos.

“Now you are getting it” said Redrick.

“Why do I think you are here to get my help?” said Marcelos with a soft smile.

“Not to get your help though. It is more like to make a deal with you, and I am sure you wouldn’t say no to the deal” said Redrick.

Marcelos wondered what deal it was that Esther had sent Redrick to make with him but he was eager to know what deal they had come to make with him since he had in mind what to request in exchange for helping them. Marcelos said with a smile “let's hear it”.

Dawson, Karl, Hemdal, Nelson, the soldiers, and the people were saved by the Varlyns and their Nylins from Philip and Marcelos’ armies. Philip and Marcelos’ armies suffered a great defeat at the hands of the Varlyns and their Nylins and they had to retreat to the camp.

The Varlyns and Nylins were not much in number but their fighting skills gave them no trouble in killing Marcelos’ armies which made them victorious.

Dawson, Hemdal, Nelson, the soldiers, and the people were shocked by the way they saw the Varlyns and the Nylins fight Marcelos’ armies and they wondered what kind of people the Varlyns are and what kind of creature their Nylins are. It was like the Varlyns and Nylins weren’t a stranger to Marcelos’ armies, and they were trained and raised to fight Marcelos’ armies.

At the same time, Karl sat down on the ground watching the battle since she knew who the Varlyns and their Nylins were.

Dawson, Hemdal, Nelson, the soldiers, and the people wondered who the Varlyns and their Nylins were and why they saved them but the Varlyns told them that they were sent by Esther and they were there to escort them to safety.

Dawson, Hemdal, Nelson, the soldiers, and the people didn’t want to believe the Varlyns because they were afraid it might be a trick to get them all killed or captured but Karl told them she knew who they were and they were truly sent by Esther.

Dawson, Karl, Hemdal, Nelson, the soldiers, and the people followed the Varlyns and their Nylins to the safety they were escorting them to.
