Poison Eve
Chapters-97

Altarus…

Altarus was the most mysterious old town in the eastern region of Neraida, the hiding place of most of the Spiritual Masters of the magic stream. A fortress city built by giants and destroyed by the gods in the early days of civilization, tens of thousands of years ago. Now it's just ruins that look like archaeological finds.

For some magicians with certain talents, it was a kind of metropolis with skyscrapers and all its sophistication, where all the needs of science and magic were fulfilled practically.

The wizard's dream town!

However it was different from the City of Light that all Spiritual Masters could access from various streams and could live forever after reaching a certain level, The city of Altarus can only be accessed by magicians with time travel capabilities or special tools. And it's temporary. A kind of dimensional space with limited time.

It was there that now the Demon Kefas was hiding to recover his spiritual power which had been reduced by ten levels after one of his spiritual chakras was absorbed by Migi Vox.

Good fucking crack! it's in the heart.

He knew it would not be easy to restore ten levels of spiritual power outside the City of Light, especially in the City of Altarus.

The City of Altarus is sort of the negative side of the City of Light, where the source of spiritual power is not working as it should. Like the City of Light was a freezing room, the City of Altarus was a expansion room. Everything went fast in the City of Altarus. In the City of Light time was running slowly like an eternity.

Although all the magic needs could be accessed in a practical way in Altarus City, spiritual energy sources were rare.

Initially Kefas intends to recover his spiritual power in the City of Light, but on his way there, he gains a vision that Bedros, his twin brother, will attempt to kill him soon. And he still doesn't know why.

After successfully scooping a handful of earth from the City of Light, Kefas rushed to the City of Altarus to avoid his twin brother until he made it past level sixty.

The Land of Light City was needed for his cultivation because in Altarus City there was little source of spiritual energy.

But when she started her meditation, Evelyn's face would not disappear from her mind.

"You're actually…"

Evelyn's words rang in her ear, disturbing her concentration. Guilt is trapping him.

Nah! thought. I can't kill him!

"Kill him, Kefas!"

Bedros' voice echoed in his mind.

Kefas gripped both temples with one hand. Clenched his eyes tightly.

The voice came from his vision. The supernatural vision that some Spiritual Masters possessed was a flow of magic like her. Seeing the future is one of his talents.

Evelyn's desperate face flashed in her vision.

"Kill him, Kefas!" repeat the Bedros sound. "Did you forget how to kill? Let me show you!"

Seconds later…

SLASHY!

Bedros swung his wand at Evelyn's neck and at once the girl's head drooped and rolled.

"GODAAAAKKK!" Cephas heard his own howl. Then he saw himself falling down and fell on the side of Evelyn's body.

"I told you to hunt this little p e l c u r to kill!" bedros' face flashed while pointing his index finger at him. "And you're tempted to feel pity? What kind of crybaby possessed you? You love him, Kefas!" the accusation.

"No!" shouts Kefas. No way! lament in the heart. I can't love the enemy!

"Enemy?" he heard his own voice in his head. So clear yet sounding soft. "Whose enemy? What's he ever done to us?"

"Don't forget, Kefas! He is Katz!" Berdros.

"What has a Katz ever done to us?" he heard himself refute Bedros.

"Have you forgotten our ultimate goal?" bedros' face was in shock.

"Our goal?" refute his own voice. "Or is it his purpose?"

Another face flashed in his vision. A middle-aged man dressed in glamour was a high-ranking official.

"Please!" the other man lunged towards Kefas and everything went dark.

He rubbed his face violently, and clenched his eyes together.

Evelyn's face flashed once more.

"You're actually…"

Kefas opened his eyes, then bowed and gulped. His eyelids are shaking.

The words of Bedros in his vision returned.

"You love him, Kefas!"

A gentle yet slashing feeling slipped in between his heart. Warm, at once painful. What kind of fucking feeling is this? he thought impatiently. More annoyed at himself than at Bedros' accusations.

He sat down with both shoulders hanging limply on his side. He looked down at the ground-lined stone floor he had brought from the City of Light.

I don't know which is more terrible, he thought. Loving enemies or hunted brothers themselves. But I have to be much stronger from now on, her determination inward.

Bedros…

Neiro Sachs…

Nazareth Vox's…

"Hmmm.." Kefas frowned. The doll. It seems to be undeniable!

I have to go beyond the level of Apollo…

Although you do not have to sit on the throne.

But to get past the Apollo level it would take decades if he stayed here.

He doesn't want to age like Bedros.

"You're actually pretty good-looking."

Evelyn's words were ringing in her ears.

What exactly was he trying to say if he hadn't fainted? he wondered in his heart.

Then he imagined himself aging in an instant like Bedros.

The city of Altarus is a dimension of space with limited time.

This is where her twin sister ages in a matter of seconds. Only a few seconds late when breaking through the portal, Bedros had to give up twenty years of age.

That was why he chose the City of Altarus as a hiding place. He knew Bedros would never come back to this place again.

Bedros deeply hated the City of Altarus after the incident.

I gotta get out of here! thought. He scooped up the land of the City of Light he had sprinkled around him, then grasped it with a glaring gaze. Where is the same place as the City of Light that Bedros cannot reach?

Kefas forced himself to think fast.

Then an idea flashed through his mind.

"The echo!" his his hiss resembled the whisper of the wind. A slanted smile fell on the corner of his lips.

Erebos is a sacred forest inhabited only by a race of vampires. There was never light like the Forest of Darkness in the Empire's Fairy Monster Hunt Forest. But much more wild. It is located on the Neraida border.

It was from that place that he obtained all of his bracelet-like spiritual chakras.

The source of spiritual energy there was uncontrollable. So too with the potential for a vicious attack. The vampire fairies there are no weaklings. Especially friendly!

Cephas strengthened his heart to hurry. It moved out of place and shot out the portal with its spiritual chakra shaped like a bracelet. His spiritual chakra was also a kind of dimensional space as well as a magical portal that could carry himself anywhere in an instant. Better known as the teleportation chakra.

...Cephas Damon...
