chapter 46: Skills unlocked?

James and Don was searching the area carefully as they both could realize that the voice was becoming much louder compared to when they had have entered the portal it's like they were placed their ears near a big boombox

Don Predicted this already after reaching the main zone that voice might become loud but even he didn't know that it would be this much louder, he was searching for a source of the voice but he also aware of another guys presence beside him, he deliberately peeking time to time at James

he thought in his mind, in this place there was a huge chance of this voice affecting James mind but he amused to see this voice failed until now to gain control over James

" hey, I found something-"

Don turned his face in that direction, both of them headed for that direction cautiously.

when the reached, James was stunned after seeing the Open field in the middle of the forest and an Altar placed in the center of the Open space but the most terrifying thing was he could see is Various dead bodies lying beside the altar, He unconsciously stepped ahead towards them

Don followed behind him silently as he could see the Red Stone placed in the skeleton hand on the altar, That skeleton hand was strangely grabbing that stone-like he was not protecting that stone or something but instead, he was holding that stone gently towards the Sky as that stone radiating red glow

James kneels beside the dead bodies. he remembered the few faces, they were his clan members lying on the ground like someone sucked their life force from their bodies

Tears roll down from his eyes. he started blaming himself for their demises "I am sorry we were supposed to protect you ...but "

Don observed his reaction curiously.it like this was his second nature to observe people's reactions. happiness, sadness, fears, Or even excitement ...

Since he got a chance to see humans in their living bodies attached with emotions and desires. He was always wondered in the underworld why humans wanted to live on the planet, Their life was short but still, they wanted to make better of it.

Don lost in his thoughts entirely as he forgets that the voice was stopped coming out of the stone and dead silence falls over the forest. James heard Strange voice in his head

" If you were more powerful then you might be able to save them and everyone around you ... "

James didn't get a chance to react as he constantly heard that voice all over directions

" Other descendants are a lot stronger than you And you Mere D ... how pathetic of you "

" But you can gain unimaginable powers ... you have potential to surpass your father "

" All you have to do is submit yourself to me..."

James clenched his fist and proceeded to punch the surface " No ... get the fuck out of my head ..."

" Ahaha.... you have forgotten your vow to become stronger ... and you call yourself a man "

" Come on ... what do you think, Are there any other options to become stronger ...no ... I am the only one who possesses the power to make you stronger... "

" or You will lose everything...your clan ...your father...millions of peoples will die ...but you can save .....them "

James realized that its impossible for him to prevent from being controlled, His heart was throbbing violently " Don ....Run"

His body was heated up. he stood on the ground, His vision became red his eyes were flickered with flame, He made a big fireball in his hand " ....i ....no...kill"

He turns back at Don as if he will burn down everything in his path but unfortunately Don was delivered a Heavy blow To his belly

"..."

Don engaged his fist after seeing James was losing his mind but he didn't stop there. James recovered a little after intense pain and a small smile appeared on their face but even after that hit as he glances at Don like he did a favor to him

" Thank-"

But another punch made him stop his talking

punch after punch this cycle kept repeating until James lost his consciousness

" What a mess ... I told you ..." Don Drag James towards the altar and after placing him beside the altar he turns his focus on the stone ...

" You are tougher than you look, my friend-"

" impossible .. what are you ... I couldn't able to read your mind ..."

Don ignored him as he more focused on the task at his hand
