A silence followed Oscar's question, and Lucas turned back to see that the boy had disappeared. He sighed heavily 'another illusion?' he asked himself.
He shrugged his shoulders and felt a cold hand run along his neck, "what are you doing here?" Luu asked.
"I was exploring the labyrinth," Lucas replied.
"So I see you found the fountain of mana," the man smirked, feeling proud of Lucas's little achievement.
Lucas was surprised to see Luu, so he quickly shook his head, "how long have you been following me?"
"Since the beginning," the old man replied.
"How...how did you manage to sneak up on me?" Lucas asked.
"Magic," he chuckled evilly, "now it's time for you to drown in mana's energy."
The air around Lucas shimmered with dark purple light. Then he felt an intense pain spread throughout his entire body. It was like he was being torn apart, leaving nothing but pieces of flesh behind, "what is this feeling?" Lucas clenched his jaw.
