Chapter 25 - Sealed

"Of course, you can't just go back to your house, you can't even use magic to fix it, '' Ethyl said while she was walking next to him on their way from Richard's house.

" What you said earlier…"Isiah stopped talking because he was hesitant to have a conversation with Ethyl.

" I said a lot of things ".

" About the system, my brother, you sounded …like a rebel".

"Well you are not qualified to know anything, Isiah Duncan….not when you are this weak, and pathetic ".

Isiah rolled his eyes and then looked away from her, she knew exactly how to get him angry every time she opened her mouth.

He sighed as he felt tiresome in his body.Everything looked very different, for the first time he became alone and he didn't have a single clue on how to handle his life from now on.

The only thing he knew was that he would definitely learn magic and become the strongest person in this world .

Ethyl said while she noticed him staring at the trees on his side:" being weak in a world like this is crazy! I can't imagine being only human…that's frustrating if you ask me".

"It's not like I don't have any divine energy, I am banned from using magic because …you know…my parents, the institution, the higher regions, they all want me to stay away from it…it is not like I have a choice ".

" Stop whining!".

Isiah hurried in his steps just to get past Ethyl but she followed him immediately and said: " I probably have a little time on my hands in this pathetic region, and I am going to do some charity… Maybe after all I want you to cause some damage to the system!".

Isiah stopped walking then faced her, and replied:" The level of magic you are using is way more advanced than I thought, you are not only using all fifth elements, you can also use mental magic ".

"I am not that advanced, I can't read minds, nor control it even when I try to speak to some people as I did it to you, I can't seem to succeed in it, people have some sort of protection over their minds even the lowest mages here are unable to communicate with like that, therefore it just another useless ability ".

" Does that mean that my mind has no protection !".

"yup ! and the more I see your weaknesses the more I ask myself how did you survive all these years".

" I remember one day my dad took me to the palace when I was probably six, that day something in me changed, I don't know what it is or how they did it but the day I went to that place I became different".

" You mean, you became useless ?"Ethyl said sarcastically.

" I think they sealed something within me, the thing responsible for magic…I stole my friends' references, I attended some classes, I saw people how they processed magic and tried to copy it but I couldn't succeed…after a while, I just stopped trying that ".

Ethyl laughed a lot after he finished talking, for an introvert like him an action like that just rocked his entire world .

"Isiah, can I tell you something!...screw this I am not taking permission from you …well…they basically executed you by performing a sealing spell, I am familiar with that spell..the thing is I am not sure whether I should tell you how to break or not..see, when you give a coward person the ultimate power he craved for it for years, he will go crazy".

Isiah continued walking because he knew that Ethyl was only messing with him the entire time, the moment he reached his burned house he stood there trying to hide his frustration from her.

He felt her hand touching his hard shoulder so he turned around surprised by her action, she said while putting a devilish smile on her face: " Well this is going to hurt like hell and I am going to enjoy it to the fullest".

Isiah's face was puzzled, he raised his thin black eyebrows to show his surprise while yellow energy started to flow from his big body.

The energy of every creature in the old globe differs from one person to another and it is related mostly to his level.

It felt like his soul was going to be sucked from his body, the pain kept increasing one minute after another. She must have done something to him because he wasn't moving or yelling in pain, he was just standing there like a statue while she was draining his body from its divine energy .

"Tsk ..tsk ..this body is just useless…you are useless Isiah Duncan".

The energy she obtained from his body was now in front of her hovering around uncontained? until she raised her hand from his shoulder and pushed him to fall to the ground.

Then, Ethyl started to manipulate that energy in the air with her two hands while keeping all her focus on it to shape it into a yellow circle full of runes that he didn't recognize.

Isiah was still not moving while his eyes kept looking at her standing there processing the energy to perform her spell.

"The area here is drained of energy because I used it last night when I killed that hellhound, that's why I am using your useless energy…"

Ethyl projected his energy after processing it with her magic and aimed for the house.

The house that looked abandoned and unlivable, started to look more like its previous state.

After a minute Isiah sat on the ground and looked at her and said:" Is this a time spell?".

" A time spell! of course not …it's not something that I can perform nor anyone in the old globe, I am just giving the place your low quality of divine energy to heal it …it will take a long time for it and for the garden to blossom but it will happen eventually, the house needs a lot of cleaning inside, all I did is painting it from the outside and the inside…but you will have to deal with the mess inside of it "

"Do you think I care about the stupid garden? or the burned house ?"

"For someone this weak you are very shameless", Ethyl smirked.

"How to remove the seal ? "Isiah insisted.

" Live your farmer life like you were supposed to, you are not going to learn magic even if the sealing spell is disabled"

" I know…"

"And one more thing…I don't think that you will ascend at all, but if that happened miraculously..then you'll find me at Elysium where I will be …Destroying this corrupted system".
