Chapter 8 - 8 Illusionist and The General’s Son

{ Irvin's POV}

Irvin woke up and finds himself in a dark room with writing on the floor and walls with blood. He couldn't use his Space magic, as if he was tied with magic cancellation rope. He struggles to escape, when the door opens and a man enters. "Welcome my boy to my Escape Room" the man's voice echoed across the room. "You're probably wondering what you're doing in this place. Well, I am here to enlighten you of your past, your duty and your true form" the man said seriously with a hint of jokes. The man touched Irvin's forhead and started using his magic on him, making him see a general and his wife giving birth to a child.

The boy grew up not meeting his father as he was fulfilling his duty in the battlefield. The mother had lunar magic while his father was powerless. Although their parents' disagreed to the marriage, they lived with it and became happy and contented with their life with the boy. As their son grew, his father started teaching him the ways in the battlefield. The boy was determined since he wanted to be like his father. The boy was taught to kill without hesitation, deceive those who see him and to hide his true form from anybody. The boy was scared of the monster within him as well since he had used it before. His mother was scared for her own son's sake that she moved to another country without telling her husband and erased his memories with Lunar Blessing.

As Irvin's memories come back, his face was filled with fear, anger and despair. He feels that he can live his life now with no false truths. His anger starts to spread in his body and the ropes tying him tore apart, the magic cancelling his dispersed. The man was shocked that he fell on the floor, scared of what might happen if Irvin used his true form. Irvin scowled at the man as his true form starts to unleash. Irvin's size grew as tall as the Magus Tree, giving magic to the world. His arms split into six and started detaching itself from the body. His face turned into a jackal's head, having two canes on his chest. His lower half started to combine into a cloud.
