The way to become the Great Sorcerer

Chapter 25: Chased Away

“Why did you come back now, Felix?” A shiver was felt down Loki’s spine. The old woman’s eyes were filled with blood lust. Loki backed away when she approached him. “My son died because of you.” Her voice was filled with a sinister tone. And, then it hit Loki. He scanned the old woman with one last look. Her features finally made Loki realize who she was. “Grandma?”  He said, still confused. “Took you long enough, son.” She said with a smile. Though It wasn’t a gentle one. 

Loki regained his composure.  “So, what about it?” He said. His voice was carefree. He was confident. His stature was proud as if he didn’t sense fear a while ago. The old woman’s eyes widened. The words that he uttered made her blood boil. She stared at him in disbelief. Her thoughts filled with memories of his late son. His smiles, his warmth, all of those things were the ones she missed the most. 

She can’t believe that the boy in front of him didn’t even care. She then glared at him, all she could see was red. She wanted to kill him. Wanting to make him feel what she felt right at this moment. She dashed to him. She raised both of her arms, ready to choke the life out of her grandson. Loki slightly widened his eyes. ‘This old hag's gone mad!’ He thought while he avoided her. However, the old woman wasn’t fazed. She chased him down, still raising her arms like a mad man. Loki had enough of her actions. He releases his power.

A gust of wind suddenly appeared that made her stop in her tracks.  She closed her eyes when dust was carried out by the wind. After regaining her sight he looked at her grandson once again. But his appearance made her scream in horror. A large horn was sitting on top of his head proudly. His eyes glowed with a vibrant purple. Her hands were as sharp as any knife She noticed his irises weren't the same as a human’s. He took in his grandson’s appearance. 

“Don’t touch me, you filthy hag.”

His words made her flinch. Her eyes tremble as she watches his grandson walking towards her. She fell on her butt when he finally arrived in front of her. Loki raised his brow, amused by his grandma’s behavior. She crouched down to her level. Bringing his sharp nail to her wrinkled neck. She froze on her spot. She felt the sharp nail on her neck. She was scared for her life. She did not expect to experience this turn of events. 

“ Or I will rip your throat,” Loki said. His expression was full of stern indicating that he was serious. A tear fell onto his grandma's eyes but Loki did not care. 

“You are a monster.” She said in a whisper. She stared at Loki’s eyes, filled with fear. Loki was slightly surprised by what she said. He did not like the term monster at all. The word was not making Loki amused. She hated it the moment she said it. He stood up, turning his back to her. He was no longer interested in the current situation. Having called a monster spoiled his day.  He walked away deciding to leave the wretched place.

“ You are a monster! A devil! ” He heard her grandmother shout at him but he ignored it. He sighed when he heard her usual sources that she always threw at him. But what she said next made him snap his head.

 “ Your mother was a fool to give birth to you.” Loki watched her standing up. His eyes widened, disbelief was written on his face. ‘What did she just say?’ He thought. He did not know but he felt mad when she uttered those words. She was insulting her mother. Loki glared at her. His magic aura surrounds the entire cemetery. He approached her again, this time he decided not to back out. 

“Felix?”

He stopped when he thought he heard his mother’s voice. He contracts his aura and changed into his human form. His grandma stood there while staring at him. ‘No fun…’ He thought, leaving for the second time. His grandma did not say anything, letting him walk away. He was thankful for that. 

Her grandmother watch his back as he walked away. Grabbing her cane from the ground. She tried to not make any sound. She quickly turned away after stealing one glance at Loki. She look in front of her, determined to get out but what greet her made her scare the s**t out of her.  There were two girls conjoined together, smiling at her. She was crept up to their expression. Having the two twins just staring at her, she tried to pass by them without looking into their eyes. 

Successfully passing by her. She did not notice something flying above her. When she unconsciously looked behind her, she saw boulders approaching her from the sky. Realizing her situation she screams trying to run away. However, her efforts were wasted as the boulder hit her. Squishing her body, blood splashed everywhere. 

Loki heard her screech. It did not bother him rather he was annoyed. He finds the current situation annoying as he realizes that he was being followed.  He took sight of two figures running to him. As they run, their appearance becomes visible to Loki. One was wearing a neat suit and eyeglasses on his head and the other one was a female.  Alexander and Ava slow down their steps when they’ve almost arrived at Loki.

Panting hard, they bend their bodies leaning on their knees as they catch their breath. Suddenly, Naki fell down from above perfectly landing beside the other two. Loki raised his brows, confused about why we’re all here. 

“W hat’s the meaning of this?” He said his voice as deep as an ocean. Naki flinched because of his tone. “The twins made us do it,” Ava answered his question crossing her arms. Loki felt the presence of the said twins on his back. “Didn’t I say not to follow me?” Loki turned around with a glare on the smiling twins. They didn’t reply that made Loki huffed. 

“ We found them .” The twins said in unison avoiding Loki’s question. “What?” He raised his brows. He had a slight idea of what they meant, however, he still wants to have a confirmation. “The demon.” They answered. Loki slightly smirked at their answer. ‘ Finally some good s**t,’ He thought. “ Then, Let’s go. We don’t want that rat to keep waiting.” He turned his back to his companions, walking away. He transforms into his demon form. His horns shine because of the sunlight. 

A strong gust of winds blew through Larcade’s face as he closed his eyes when he rolled down his window. The sunlight greeted him, a warm feeling on his face. He put up his palms to his face covering the light. The Maine coon touched Larcade’s thighs with its paw took his attention. The feline was curious about the outside world. With a chuckle, Larcade wraps both of his arms to the cat securing him. The cat look into the window his fur moving as the breeze hit him. Damian looked at his side, his attention darted to Larcade.

 Neveah’s painful screech made him flinch, he snapped his head to Neveah who was wholeheartedly singing along to the music that she chose. Lucas was also bothered by her just decided to just shut his mouth. After the 3-minute sing-along, Neveah applauded her own performance. “You sure do like yourself,” Damian commented in which Neveah turn her head just to glare at the said man. 

“Well, of course! The first thing you do with love is to use it on yourself. Love yourself more, that’s what matters!” She said with a wink. Damian’s face emits a slight scowl, feeling disgusted. 

“To the point of being a narcissist?” Lucas asked while keeping his eyes on the road. 

“What?” It was Lucas who turned to receive Nveahs’s glare. He chose to shut his mouth by pursing his lips. 

“ How’ bout we should listen to the radio?” Larcade suggested feeling the two men’s discomfort in Neveah's voice. “Eh?” Neveah checked her phone, squirming on her sit to find a comfortable position

. “Yeah, I think we should do that.” She agreed when she saw the battery on her phone was low. 

Unplugging her device, she leaned into the radio to find one stable channel. Flipping through the radio she finally found a stable channel. The radio buzzed into the car while all of them minding their own business.

 “Casino Royale has newly launched and people can’t stop visiting the place.” The radio was blasted in full volume when they started their news. 

“ Casino Royale’s owner Scarlet Yale stated that this version of the casino is much better than the former casino that was demolished three months ago. Casino Royale is located in Medea Ci-”

“Oh~ That famous casino?” Neveah said making the radio inaudible to understand because of her natural loud voice.  

“ I heard it with our classmates before.” She said, “I want to go there someday.” She shared. 

“Why? Only high-class people can go there.” Lucas suddenly commented.

“And do you even know how to gamble? And, do you even have any money to gamble?” Comment after comment, Neveah glared at Lucas silently, wondering when he would shut his mouth. Damian and Larcade stared at the two in front of them.

 “Why are you being such an a-hole, hm?” Neveah asked after Lucas. He only shrugged, making Neveah more annoyed. Giving up to start a fight with Lucas, she crossed her arms, sitting there silently. 

“Bitch.” She muttered under her breath. Lucas's eyes twitch hearing what she said.

Larcade sat there silently not wanting to understand the friendship of the two. He panned his head to the window again. The gust of wind made him feel relaxed. For a second, he forgot about the dangerous journey they are going on. With a sigh, his expression fell. His thoughts were broken when the cat purr, rubbing his body onto his arms. ‘He sure does like to be pet.’ He thought, smiling at the cat. 

Larcade caught something on the side mirror of their car. He stares at it. His eyes widen when he realize what was it.  Damian who was sitting beside him closed his eyes. But suddenly he felt a presence. He jolted, feeling uncomfortable about it. Neveah noticed his actions and wanted to ask but she was cut off by Larcade.

“Lucas!” Larcade screamed, making everyone surprised and alert. Suddenly their car flipped. Damian failed to comprehend the situation. He failed to protect his companion. All of them scream scared when the car landed on the ground upside down. All of them were sitting upside down.

“Are you guys, okay?!” Damian asked feeling nervous. Neveah groaned when she heard Damian's relentless screams. She widened her eyes when she saw blood on the ground and Larcade who was unconscious in front of her. She gasp with terror when she accidentally recalled the accident fifteen years ago. 

“Larcade!” She shrieked. But she was having a hard time getting out of her seat. The seat belt that she wore was keeping her trapped in her seat. 

She forcefully pulled her belt but to no avail it was stuck. She can't help the tears that were dripping down. 

“Neveah calmed down.” Suddenly Damian said behind him.

 “How can I calm down?!” He shouted panic laced in her voice. Damian leaned into him holding her seatbelt. 

“Panicking is not the solution.”He said his face inch closer to Neveah’s. He stared at her eyes. The golden irises of Damian somehow make Neveah calm down. Suddenly the belt was cut off by Damian. 

Damian noticed Lucas who was also unconscious. He cut his belt. Neveah holds onto him preventing him to hit his head on the ground. Damian who also does it with Larcade held onto him. He touched the car with his palm and in a second the car went flying landing on the ground in its natural position. Damian carries Larcade in his arms while Neveah also carried Lucas, his arms wrapped around Neveah’s shoulders.

“Is he okay?” Neveah asked.

 Nervousness was felt in her entire body as she stared at Larcade’s head dripping with blood.

 “He will be and so with that guy,” Damian answered, making Neveah sigh in relief. 

“ But this is still one less thing to worry about.” Damian glared in front of her that making Neveah bewildered. She panned her head and watch she saw made her brows clash.

Five juveniles standing away from them. Smirks pasted on their faces.

 “So this is the infamous escaped Demon?”
