Suddenly, several black knives were thrown towards where Graford was sitting.
Dang!
Whe blocked four of the knives with his staff as other knives flew towards the stream. He then rushed away from the rock he was sitting on and torn the cloth around his staff, leaving his staff with it's original look.
"Phew! Found you" a voice exclaimed.
Beads of sweat rolled down his cheek, he felt chilled as he kept on moving backward.
Suddenly, something rushed towards him like a white flash and hit him in his stomach. He spat out blood and went straight on his knees.
Again, the same thing rushed at him and hit him in his throat. He held his throat as he yelled and spat out more blood. He could barely stand as he kept on crawling towards the stream groaning.
He noticed something oval dropped in front of him.
Boom!
He was blown away and flew towards the bush on the other side. He groaned in pain, unable to crawl again, he laid still and kept on groaning. There were wounds all over his body. He had a crazed expression on him while glancing around. He was severely injured and his waist almost cut open.
"Oh, the great wizard' has been wounded" a voice exclaimed sarcastically.
" what..... do... you want from ...me?" Graford asked shakenly as he kept on groaning. Out of the thin air, the men in green robes appeared. They all had a golden bracelets on their wrists this time, the bracelet just stopped glowing as they appeared.
"Green knights?" Graford became puzzled. Not long, Mila and the men in grey robes appeared. He grinned and looked towards where Graford was lying.
" what does the Ren Foundation what this time" Graford thought. Mila collected a longbow from one of the men in grey robes. He nocked an arrow on the longbow and pulled the bowstring until the phantom of a full moon came forth from the fully drawn bow. Sunlight shone upon the arrow Head, which caused an azure hue to be reflected on its surface. He aimed at Graford and shot the arrow.
Haa!
Graford yelled in pain as the arrow pierced through his heart. He tried to remove the arrow as his blood turned torrent, rushing out of his mouth. He groaned for some minutes and later stopped breathing. One of the men in green robe moved closer to check if he had truly stopped breathing. As he got to where he was lying, he checked and confirmed he was truly dead.
"The corpse, what should happen?" the man asked as he kicked his dead body.
" Let it rot, decay and be dinner for the beasts" replied Mila. They all turned back and disappeared.
"I am...…. Immortal..... I shall...…. Live long" Graford groaned, gasping as he kept on repeating the same words. Suddenly, his body started melting and later turned to a yellow liquid. The yellow liquid started flowing out of the bush and back to the stream, to the big rock he had sat on. The yellow liquid stopped flowing for some minutes, it moved here and there as if it were looking for something. Again, it continued flowing until it got to Graford's grey staff which was lying among big rocks closed to the stream. The yellow liquid flowed towards the head of the staff and stopped, covering the head. Suddenly, the yellow liquid sank into the 'k' inscribed on the staff. The staff then suddenly changed its color from grey to white, and the 'k' on its head then changed to three 'K's. Just as the staff changed, a man in green robe appeared at the stream. He went back to where Graford's body was formerly lying. He muttered some words and tried to look for his corpse. He came back to the stream and looked for his corpse all around the stream. As he moved some steps towards where there were rocks, he saw Graford's staff lying among the rocks. He beamed as he took off his hood and got nearer to the staff. He had a white skin and a blonde hair. He stretched his left hand to reach the staff, he touched it and was about to have a tight grip when an huge octopus suddenly appeared. The octopus was bigger than an Australian elephant. The octopus appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the man in green robe. The man cried out for help as the octopus fed on him. After eating him, the octopus crawled here and there, looking for more prey. After looking for sometime, the octopus crawled away without making any sound. The stench of blood had invited in the octopus.
