"Find me, Selena!"
Asher's roar echoed through the entire castle.
His voice was harsh, carrying a weight so heavy that the very air seemed to tremble. The advisors and guards flinched, their hearts pounding as they rushed frantically to search every corner of the estate.
Asher's chest heaved, his hands clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his skin, drawing blood.
Then—
CRACK!
His fist smashed into the wall, sending deep fractures spreading like a spiderweb across the marble surface.
The entire corridor shook from the force.
Then, the heavy footsteps of a solider rushed in, the captain of the guards, approached.
"We've found her."
Asher froze.
Darian,talon and the rest rushed to the solider to know where she was.
The solider hesitated, his face unusually pale.
"You need to see this."
Asher stormed forward, his boots crushing the stone beneath him as he marched through the corridors. Every advisor, every knight, stepped aside at the sight of his rage-filled eyes.
Finally, he entered the room where she was found.
His breath caught in his throat.
Selena's lifeless body lay sprawled across the ground.
Her head—
was placed carefully on top of a cupboard with another male head.
For a long moment, Asher just stared.
A numbness crept into his veins.
Then—
"That… that's also Valvador's son's body…" an advisor gasped.
Asher didn't care.
He took slow steps toward Selena's body, his hand shaking as he reached for her.
What did I do wrong ,why do I deserve this!?
Why...meee...
Then, deep within him—
Asher's demon spoke.
---
ASHER….....ASHER...…"
The voice was a dark sinister, curling around his thoughts like a laughing hyena.
"WHAT WILL YOU DO NOW....?"
"YOUR CLONE BRINGS YOU CHAOS.."
SO LET US SHOW HIM THE REAL
DEFINITION; OF
!!!ABSOLUTE __DISTRUCTION !!!!?"
Asher's breathing deepened.
His fists trembled.
Then, he threw his head back—
And SCREAMED.
"LYSAAAAAR!"
A shockwave exploded from his body.
The ground split apart beneath him, walls cracked, and the air itself vaporized from the sheer heat of his aura.
Asher's eyes turned blood-red.
Lightning crackled around him.
---
"We have trouble!"
A guard rushed into the hall, panting.
Lord Oreos turned to him, his face grim. "What is it?"
"Valvador's army is here!"
Oreo's expression darkened. "How? How did they get past our defenses?"
The guard swallowed hard.
"A man led them in. He—he put the entire guard force to sleep and walked away."
Silence.
Oreo's heart pounded.
"If they find Valvador's son's body here, they'll have our heads."
Oreo turned to Asher. "We need to leave—now. There's a secret tunnel beneath the mansion we can escape form there.
But Asher wasn't scared; he didn't careof any army.
Instead, he was already walking toward the army outside.
His rage burned too deep.
---
Asher stood at the entrance of the estate.
Before him, hundreds of soldiers stood, their weapons drawn, their eyes burning with vengeance.
They raised their swords and magic staffs, ready to attack.
But Asher simply glared at them.
"YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS TO RUN!"
And then—
He began to count.
"10…"
His voice was ldemonic
it shook the very ground beneath them as he talked.
Some soldiers flinched.
"9…"
The wind howled, swirling around him.
"8…"
Crimson light surged around his body.
"7…"
The earth cracked beneath his feet.
"6…"
One soldier took a step back.
"5…"
"Don't be cowards!" a general barked. "March forward! Avenge my son!"
But even he sounded uncertain.
"3…"
Lightning crackled in the sky.
"2…"
The air itself hummed with violent energy.
"1."
---
Then—
BOOM!
A massive shockwave exploded from Asher's chin as he wiped the ground.
The ground split open, swallowing dozens of soldiers alive.
Screams filled the air as magicians tried to counter—but Asher was faster.
His chains lashed out.
They glowed green, slicing through mages like paper.
Explode the bodies upon impact.
Soldiers screamed in agony, trying to retreat—but there was no escape.
Green light of the chain illuminated the battlefield, flashing so fast no one could see it but green light, electric lightning and fir explosion
The massacre was merciless the soilders where not out numbers but we're out matched ;Never was their any chance of their victory and all they could see was a god of death ready to claim their feeble life.
Finally, the few survivors ran for their lives, vanishing into the distance.
---
Asher breathed heavily, tempted to kill the rest.
"My lord. The cart is ready."
Elias voice was calm, but his eyes held fear.
Asher didn't even look at him.
"I don't need a cart."
And then—
He jumped.
The force shattered the ground, launching him high into the sky.
And that moments, he was gone.
---
He landed inside his territory, heading straight for the basement where the cloning device layed.
A group of men were tampering and trying to steal itwith the cloning device.
Asher's chains lashed out, ripping their limbs apart.
"WHERE IS LYSAR?" Asher said.
The men screamed in confusion.
"We... We don't know any—AAAGHHH!"
Asher's fist crushed a man's skull against the floor.
Then, one of them—barely alive—whimpered.
"I don't know who he is!" " I don't even know what I...how I got here "he cried. "A man just… gave me a letter… and told me to hand it to the first person I saw!"
Asher snatched the letter.
---
The letter read:
< My dear elder clone;
Is amusing how you easily fell into my little tricks.
You think you protected the real cloning device.?
The one in your territory is fake.I put it there to distract you.
I know you will never give it to me, so I had to go through all this trouble
If you are really angry,I left you a present at your mansion.
I hope you like your new maid..>
Asher's heart pounded.
"WHAT HAS HE DONE…"
He ran.
---
When he reached the entrance, he saw them—
Elisa,Garek, Talon, Lyra and Darian.
All of them staring at someone in shock.
And then, his gaze fell on the person
Selena.
She stood there.
Smiling.
But—
Asher's stomach twisted.
That wasn't her.Her eyes lacked life.
Her aura was wrong.
It was just a clone.
Lysar's voice echoed in his mind—
"I hope you like your new maid."
