37: Mission at the Lord's Mansion VII

"Oh...that Scared Fire leaf, I know about it..But I thought it got destroyed after you were sealed off. How then...and why do you think it's here?" Neon had invited from Ares.

Ares had shrugged " Well I happened to know that the only son of Lord Kan had id extremely sick at the moment that he's been unconscious for months. And the reason for it is because he had accidentally gotten in possession of the scared fire leaf which is inside him. So basically what I need to do is find a way to take it and it's mine" Ares smiled.

Neon had it's eyes on Ares again, Impressed and surprised at the same time "Woah. How exactly did you know all these stuff? Were you making your inquiry inside the mountain where they sealed you off?"

Ares smiled again as he shrugged" What if I told you I was some kind of prophet? Would you buy it?"

Of course Ares Knew most things in this novel. It was his writing after all. So he knew it. He had known about this part of the plot because he had Added it himself. He had made this only son of Lord Kan to go astray in the woods at night and somehow acquired the Scared Fire Leaf.

This Sacred fire leaf had left him unconscious and half dead. Ares had originally planned to make Lord kan's son an instrument for the Demon Patriarch's return.

But now that he was already awakened, there was no need for him. So he basically was gonna take away the sacred fire leaf from him.

"Prophet my foot" Neon rolled it's eyes " You're just hiding something from me"

Ares smiled as his word "By the way, did you send off that human girl?" She inquired.

"Oh, I told you to leave already that she's probably not going to meet us again.. But she insisted that she's going to wait for us. Poor thing"

"I guess I didn't scare her off enough earlier. But whatever, I don't think we're gonna meet again anyways " Ares concluded.

"So you said you're gonna get the scared fire leaf, but we're locked up in here. And based on what I eavesdropped on, You're gonna be killed tomorrow. How do you plan on doing so?"

Ares smiled" By getting Lord Kan himself to set me free"

Neon stared at Ares, confused "Set you free himself? Come-on, he doesn't even know who you are or whatever. Based on what you said, He's Obviously too worried sick about his dear son to bother about anyone else now."

"And that's what I want. His endless worry about his son..I don't need him to know me, all I want is him to know that I can save his son" Ares smiled" That way I'll be out of here "

Neon slowly nodded his head " Oh, that makes sense.. But how are you gonna achieve that?"

"With Magic of course" Ares stated.

"Magic? With which magic? Do you have enough to accomplish what you want?" Neon questioned.

"I might not have my powers back, But at least with the little I have, I can achieve what I want. So you just have to sit back and watch. don't blab at me"

Ares demanded of him as he sat down properly.

He sat down in a Buddha like position and the slowly brought both hands together. Ares had his eyes closed now as he began medication.

Neon watched in silence, because at the moment there were no single sound at all. Not until after a few seconds, Ares had gotten into himself.

Then started off with some mild howling sounds of the wind. The wind had began clustering around the prison room while making some unpleasant Sounds of chattering and murmurings.

Then slowly it increased and what Neon saw was black dust now hovering around Ares.

These dusts had slowly escalated and slowly began creeping out of the prison room. slowly and slowly, They had began escalating even outside the prison room and now at the Kan Mansion.

Ares was Still lost in meditation with his hands doing the magical rhythm balancing. He moved his fingers rhythmically as he controlled the flow of Demonic energy around himself.

These demonic energy had now spread outside in the mansion, but out of the eyes of the mortals.

To them, It was just a normal nights when the soldiers and guards stood around, guarding the places with their spears and sword. Dome also patrolled around, looking out for suspicious activities that night.

But all these suddenly become an abnormal night when suddenly a dark energy had blasted two patrolling guards down to the floor.

These soldiers didn't get up but had died automatically.

"Hey! Wake up! what's Wrong?!" The other's around had gathered while some others turned and set out their swords and spears in alarm

The next second, another wave of demonic energy had sparked past them and all of them automatically fell to the floor, dead.

Their faces drained of all possible energies which made them look old and thin.
