Book 4 - Schemer of the Scalding Sands: Chapter 35; New Reign Cut Short

The screen turns on as the next chapter title plays "Chapter 35; New Reign Cut Short".

It shows the Scarabia dorm lounge, although it is all foggy the air, and pretty much everything is red or has a red-tint to it.

Overblot Jamil demands "Bring on the food! Bring on the drinks! Today we celebrate the disposal of the old, useless king, and the crowning of a far more deserving successor!" to the still hypnotized Scarabia students.

After he is served he leans back and relaxes while saying "Ahhh, I'm on top of the world. I've got all the magic I could ever want at my fingertips."

A hypnotized Scarabia student A then says in a dead tone "I couldn't agree more, Master." An also hypnotized student B, also in a flat tone, says "You are the most fit to be king of Scarabia, Jamil." All of the Scarabia students then say in unison "Long live Master Jamil!" still stuck in a dead flat tone due to the hypnosis.

Overblot Jamil laughs before closing his eyes and commanding them "Thaaat's it. Go on, keep singing my praises."

It is then shown that the others have arrived back as Azul compliments him "I never realized what a gallant figure you cut…" Overblot Jamil makes an "Oho?" noise before giving a motion to keep going.

Grim is the next up as he praises "You oughta LIVE on a throne." Overblot Jamil then asks "And?"

Jade compliments him next "Your intelligence is beyond compare…" Overblot Jamil tells them "Go on."

Floyd praises "There's royalty, and then there's YOU…" Kalim then compliments, his most likely being genuine still, "You look so strong and powerful!" Yuu then gives a mini cheer "Jamil, Jamil, he's our man!"

Overblot Jamil slowly opens his eyes as he laughs lightly and says "Heh, you flatter me…" Only for his eyes to widen as he sees who it was and shouts "Wait! It's YOU?! I sent you to the ends of this dimension! How did you get back so fast?!"

Kalim says "I filled a dry river with water and we swam back!" Floyd then frowns as he complains "Not that it was cakewalk, I'll tell ya! I'm pretty worn out!" Overblot Jamil shouts "WHAT?!"

But quickly understands as he clicks his tongue before saying "Now I see. You used Kalim's signature spell." He then scoffs at that and says "So your little trick had a use after all. And here I'd written it off as a worthless spell only good for watering plants or filling a pool."

Azul is then the one that scoffs as he says "You clearly don't appreciate Kalim's power for what it is, then."

Kalim then closes his eyes as he tells overblot Jamil "Jamil… Now I see what you've thought of me all this time. There can be no question now." He then opens his eyes as he shouts at him "You're a coward and a traitor!"

But overblot Jamil just tells him in return "Fool. That's what you get for trusting me blindly."

Kalim then shouts at him "Face me in combat! I'll win back the housewarden seat you've stolen from me!"

Jamil looks angered as he sarcastically asks "You accuse ME of stealing?!" He then scoffs and says "How dare you." He then shouts at Kalim "YOU'RE the one who stole everything from ME!"

Lightning then strikes and as he fires up his power again the orange lightning surrounds him.

He then yells at all of them "Now you shall witness my true power!" before insanely laughing some more.

It then cuts to after the battle as overblot Jamil is just defeated his last words were "I was finally going to be number one… I was finally going…to be free…" before the blot left him and he passed out.

The screen then fades to black as "To be continued" plays before fully turning off.
