138 Aftermath

Lucan put his scepter away as Raze descended into the broken arena.

"Well done." He said to Lucan before addressing the crowd. "From this day forth, Lucan Quilldrake shall no longer be known as my sixth Hand, but my fifth and the Plague Baron shall be forever banished from the shadow realm."

The Plague Baron had just revived himself with his soul stone and had a look of pure hatred on his face.

"You will all suffer for this!" He screamed.

"Would you like to do the honors?" Raze asked.

"I will leave it to you." Lucan said. He had expended all his ethereal mana and couldn't open a portal if he wanted to.

Raze waved a hand and the Plague Baron disappeared.

"In two weeks, there will be a selection to decided who will be my sixth Hand. If anyone is interested, please submit your name in Vertshadow, after paying the participation fee of course. That will be all." Raze said.

The crowd was suddenly clamoring with excitement.
