On a dark narrow road, pieces of car parts laid around the ground as a black Escalade ESV was crushed into a tree becoming a hump of metal.
A man got down from a large truck and stared at the mangled car emotionlessly. He had tracked Luke for a while but couldn't get the opportunity to carry out his plans.
Though he knew that Beatrice was now irrelevant to the Royal family and had to abandon the mission since it had become completed useless, he still could not forgive Luke for disrespecting him.
He had even wanted to kidnap him and remove his skin piece by piece and layer by layer but decided to change his mind because he wanted to do it quick but painful, so he came up with this beautiful idea.
If Beatrice was in the car tonight he wouldn't have still cared, and would've still been the same outcome.
He removed a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up with a very strange looking lighter which looked very strange but gave of a frightening aura, whiles admiring the beauty of his handiwork.
He looked down at the mangled piece of metal in the bush and wondered why he couldn't see any gas leaking from the car.
The car looked completely unrecognizable now but it still gave him a bad feeling since the car had not exploded yet, he felt he needed to add a bit more touches.
He went back to his truck, took out a gallon of petrol and poured it on the already damaged car and his truck as well, he wanted to burn all evidence.
After he was done he stood back and decide to continue admiring his new finishing touches with the petrol whiles smoking.
"Perfection" he said creepily whiles puffing out smoke from his nostrils.
Anyone who came to meet this scene would have shit themselves, as a huge black truck stood in the middle of the road, whiles pieces of car parts were littered on the ground with a black mangled piece of metal looking like a car, pressed closed to a split tree with a man in black cloak standing in the middle of it all with a gallon besides him which reeked of petrol whiles smoking.
The accident indeed looked gruesome.
A black sedan car sped out of nowhere and arrived at the location of the accident, a blonde beauty got out of it only to see the wreckage of a black escalade pressed against a tree and a truck with an unidentified man in the middle of it all.
Victoria could feel her heart beating when she saw the scene, though he didn't like Luke that much, she didn't hate him and besides she had promise to always protect him but now.... sigh.
What was she supposed to tell her new sister she had just recently made, ' that she couldn't do the one thing she was supposed to do, What excuse would she give John and the guardian team.
As she thought of it, anger began to boil within her heart and her shocked expression gradually became emotionless, but her aura completely changed and became silent and creepy, blood lust filled the area as if it had turned into a graveyard.
Anybody within that range could actually feel death whispering to them.
"Looks like I don't have to find a ride, how convenient" said James calmly whiles still smoking without turning his head to even look at the new person on the scene.
But when he felt the aura, he turned to look at Victoria with his dead like eyes and nonchalant expression not even moved by this.
A look of superise appeared on Victoria face but it became that of anger, she clearly remember this man all too well.
"But wait, does it mean Luke knew his identity all along that was why he behaved so rude towards him the other time.
Does this mean I misunderstood him" she thought to herself.
The more she thought about the more angrier she became, she had despised Luke for his actions all along but turns out he was right all along.
"Ohh so it's you, the kind girl from before? thanks to your kindness the other day, I won't kill you, but would only take out your tongue and cut your hands off.
I'll be merciful enough and spare your life though, I hope you don't take it too personal" he said in his usual voice without any emotions.
You could tell, he's been doing this for a long time.
"Who sent you?" Victoria asked coldly.
James dead looking eyes became serious when he heard Victoria.
It was not because of the question, but the dark phantom silhouette forming behind her.
The dark phantom was holding a scythe in his right hand and an axe in his left.
"My oh my, so you are the Whisperer of death from the Mystics Of death" James said with a sneer. Victoria wasn't surprised that she was recognized, she wanted to carve this man up.
The phantom completely formed and entered Victoria's body, making dark patterns appear all over her body and with a speed of light jumped using a single finger like a dagger towards James who stood there calmly.
James raised his lighter towards the approaching Victoria as if giving a toast, and lit it up. The small flickering fire on the lighter immediately transformed into a sword phantom almost instantaneously and rushed towards Victoria.
Victoria was completely frozen by shock and before she could do anything the sword phantom passed through her body and forcefully removed the phantom she had absorbed which was incomprehensible for her because she knew it was impossible.
Before she could register what was going on she felt a punch in her stomach causing her severe pains, which sent her flying 30 meters away from James landing hardly on her back.
Though it might have been slow, this all happened within a second.
Victoria got up from the ground and vomitted blood, she had sustain internal injuries.
"How?" she asked whiles gasping for air.
"Tch, you are too young to understand the mysterys of this universe, young woman.
All you are good in, is summon that phantom and you think you are all that hmmm, the mystics of death have indeed become trash, you don't even have any understanding to what you just formed and you dare to face me with such a pitiful understanding.
Pathetic" he said in a voice full of mockery. Victoria who had just barely managed to stand up fell back on her knees again as she couldn't bare the pain.
She knew she would probably follow Luke today "To think that I will have to follow him to death" she chuckled to herself whiles spitting blood again.
"I wanted to show you mercy, but now I've decided to kill you because you are trash" James said every word slowly.
"In your next life learn to s....." but before he could say anything else , a very calm sigh resonated through out the area coming from the wreckage of Luke's car.
A shocking scene appeared as the piece of car parts which were littered on the ground all started flying towards Luke's car wreckage.
The main body which looked like a mangled piece of metal started stretching and repairing itself like a folded piece of paper unfolding itself.
"And what would you know about the mysterys of the universe" a calm voice rang through the area.
