Magic Shop System - Chapter 207 - Dream Or Reality

“So you really are from Acton Town,” Kadyn said with a wide smile as he looked at Morwag. “I passed from Acton when I was traveling to Ceston Capital.”

The group was sitting on a dining table. Morwag’s wounds had been completely healed. Not even a mark could be seen on his body. Elora’s healing was beyond this world. Fast and effective. Furthermore, Morwag had already become an employee of the shop. He didn’t hesitate to accept the offer when he realized that Kallus was also a part of Heaven’s Door. Kullus had already been his idol after all.

“Really?” Morwag eyed Kadyn with an excited expression and then sighed, “I wonder how my grandfather is doing?”

“You know what, I have met your grandfather,” Kadyn said.

“What?” This time Morwag became agitated. His parents had already passed away from this world. His grandfather was the one who brought him up. He was the only family. His sentiments and feelings were deep for him. However, he could not give a better life to him even after all his grandfather did for him. His only regret.

“Yeah,” Kadyn nodded. “He seemed immensely proud of his grandchild called Morwag.” Kadyn saw a pleasantly surprised expression of Morwag and continued, “At first when I heard your name I thought that it sounds familiar, only now did I realize where I heard it.”

“I—I would like to visit Acton Town,” Morwag said.

The next day Morwag went to meet his grandfather.

Kadyn continued to make preparations of his departure from Ceston Empire. He had decided to leave Barret in the capital. After that he sent Slyff and Nefia to Ivrora Continent. The duo had already reached the peak rank 3 mage. Furthermore, no one could hurt them until they left the shop, and even then if they encountered some problem they could always send for others for help.

Kadyn wanted to establish branches on Arura and Blalor. Arura was ruled by Elves while Blalor was the continent of Dwarves. However, Kadyn didn’t have too many Platinum rank employees. Though Rayna, Zelie and others had also become platinum rank. Kadyn didn’t want to send them. After all, he didn’t know what kind of dangers they would encounter there. He didn’t want to lose them just for some profits.

Nevertheless, it was just a matter of time before his influence reached the other continent. But the thing was that he didn’t have much time. The powerful enemies was about to escape his prison, and it would have pretty soon. He had just a year or two. Not more.

Anyway Kadyn decided to settle with just three branches for the time being. He had also sent many people to those branches. Like Hayla’s brothers, and the leaders of the three great families(which were initially four great families).

—

It was already midnight. Kadyn sat in the hall alone. He had already sent over 1/4th of his most trusted and most powerful people to other branches. He knew he needed to do this, but he felt a kind of hollow in his heart. Not that he always spent his time with them, but just the thought of them far away trying to establish themselves frightened him.

He wondered if they would be able to accomplish for what they had gone to other places. He wondered if they would be able to face this frightening world all alone, but then again, if he could do that, others could also, maybe they would do even better than him. After all, all of them were better than him, in many ways.

Slowly his eyes started to feel heavy, and he dozed off…

When he opened his eyes, he was standing at the center of a battle. Blood flew like a shower, puddling on the ground. People rushed all around, screaming and shouting. He was shocked by the scale of this massacre. He never saw so much bloodshed. It was flowing like a fountain, thousands of corpses could be seen littered on the ground.

The sounds of metal hitting metal reverberated. Smoke filled the surrounding area. He walked with frightened eyes, but stumbled and fell down. He turned around and found a head, eyes wide opened, frightened, lips dried, hair entangled with blood.

Suddenly he felt a chill creeping behind his back and tilted his head on the right side. Smash! A fire spell brushed past his shoulder, if he was even a breath later, he would have lost his head. He turned around and found a creature standing in front of him. Black wings were spreading behind its back, eyes crimson red and two fangs were protruding from the corner of its mouth. ‘A vampire?’ he thought.

However, that thought shocked him even more, because as much as he knew vampires could not use any element except Dark. So how this vampire was using a fire element.

“Oh, you dodged it,” the vampire snickered. “It’s good. Otherwise, it would be too boring.”

Kadyn didn’t know what was happening, but he stood up firmly. The vampire revealed a wicked grin as the fire started to burn on his arms. Kadyn didn’t back down and dashed towards the adversary. He looked at his right hand and realized that his hand had become normal once again. The claw had vanished. He was shocked. Then, he hurriedly checked his Magic Rune and realized that he had only a single element. Space.

Though he was confused and bewildered, he had no time for leisure and used teleportation, avoiding the attack. Then he turned around and waved his hand, a large spatial blade formed and sliced at the vampire. The vampire froze, and then a red line appeared on his body from head to the crotch, blood leaked and then he was divided into two symmetrical parts, falling into two opposite directions.

Kadyn looked at the body for some time, confused about what to do next. However, at this moment, a shadow appeared, looming in the sky. Kadyn felt cold as it covered the sun. It was hard to see its figure clearly, and then it lunged at him; but at this moment, Kadyn opened his eyes. He was in the hall once again, covered in sweat, shivering.. He fell down the sofa, but he cared little about it and tried to take deep and long breaths.
