Merlin examined all the ten bodies of the people who tried to launch an attack on him and saw something interesting. "They all have an oni marking on their necks."
'Why are onis working together with dragons,' he thought to himself. Onis and dragons never really worked together unless it the situation was very dire. Onis and dragons hated each other's existence to the point they once had wars that almost destroyed the entire world. To put it simply, they were both racist to each other.
"I guess I will find out later." Merlin let out a long sigh. "But before that, I will have to dispose these bodies," he mumbled to himself as he created eleven orbs of light and sent them flying towards the corpses, the orbs exploded and incinerated the bodies.
Merlin walked out of the dark alley and saw an ambulance driving towards the nearest. 'I guess Keith lost his fight,' he thought to himself as he used his ability [Shadow Manipulation] and turned his body into a shadow and followed the ambulance.
After 30 minutes:
The ambulance had finally reached the hospital and Merlin emerged from the shadow and instantly recognized that this was the hospital Keith's mother works at. He entered the hospital and instantly started looking for Keith's mother.
He finally found her office and busted the door open and said, "Kayla, Keith needs your help!!!"
"What happened?" she asked as she stood up from her chair.
"I diagnosed Keith's body and his entire body has been frozen. You'll need to defrost him right now before he dies," Merlin informed her.
Kayla grabbed her doctor's coat and dashed out of her office with incredible speed. She reached Keith's hospital room in less than five seconds and immediately got to work. She enveloped her hand in a blue flame and placed her hand on his chest.
The heat of the flame spread throughout Keith's entire body and melted all the icy particles in his blood. His body had now been defrosted, the hole in his chest closed up and his heart started beating again.
Kayla let out a sigh of relief and went out of the hospital and looked at Merlin who was leaning against the wall.
"I guess Keith will be okay, right?" Merlin said.
"Don't worry about him, he'll be just fine," she said.
Merlin stopped leaning against the wall and said, "Kayla, there is something I've got to tell you."
"What is it?" she asked.
"Noah was murdered by a dragon monarch," he answered.
Kayla's face darkened and she asked, her voice filled with anger, "Where can I find this son of a bitch?" Kayla was completely furious, her killing intent burst out like a wildfire.
Merlin noticed the air had gone denser because of killing intent. "I already killed the man." Kayla's bloodlust had completely disappeared after hearing Merlin's words.
"I wish I could chat a little bit more but I have an investigation I have to carry out and I guess you have some work to do," Merlin spoke as he went the nearest window, opened it and got ready to jump.
"Mind if I ask what you are investigating?" she asked.
"To find the people who sent that motherfucker and execute them in the most gruesome way possible and before I go, tell Keith to come and join me in this investigation," he told her. He launched himself from the window and started soaring in the sky. He landed on the ground in a nearby dark alley and decided to learn a new ability.
He channeled some of the Se from his body and covered his body in a red like glow.
[You have learnt a new ability!!]
[Invisibility-D Rank]
[Description: This ability allows the user to be invisible as long as the user has enough Se]
[Se Cost: 50 Se per 1 hour]
Merlin dashed around the city until he found the crime scene with Noah's dead body. There were a lot of cops taking pictures of the crime scene.
Merlin examined the body and felt that something was off. He knelt down closer to the body and touched and it still felt like a corpse but he still felt something was off. He heightened his senses with Se and found out something. 'This is an illusion,' he thought to himself
