Kazaris: "You must obey me."
Karil: "If I don't obey you, will you kill me?"
Kazaris: "No, maybe I'll imprison you. Either way, whether you like it or not, you belong to me."
With Mallory's help, Kazaris was able to regain his power. Now, after ten years, he could rebuild his empire and take revenge on Lyotan.
Karil: "I accept, but I have a request. I want to be the leader."
Kazaris: "Very well. It seems I can count on you."
Karil: "So, will you let me proceed in my own way?"
Kazaris: "Your own way? Sounds interesting." He chuckled under his breath.
Karil flew over the city. People stared at him in amazement.
A person: "A wizard with red eyes is floating in the air!"
Another person said fearfully: "What is he going to do?!"
People were all staring at Karil in horror. Karil took off the ring on his finger and said: "My name is Athiris, I came from the darkness to build a new kingdom based on justice."
A person: "Justice?"
A man shouted: "Don't think we are fooled. You are like Kazaris and want to enslave people, but we won't let that tragedy happen again!"
People raised their fists and started shouting, united to fight against Athiris.
Karil said loudly: "I am not Kazaris, I am Athiris. I don't enslave people, I fight criminals!"
With Karil's words, absolute silence fell. People stared at Karil in amazement. Karil saw a man attacking a woman, and suddenly attacked the man with magic. The man was shocked and fell to the ground. The man on the ground pointed at Karil in horror and stammered: "He is a demon, he wants to destroy us all!"
People looked at Karil with hatred. Suddenly, a woman came forward and said: "This man wanted to use the chaos to kidnap me!"
The man said in fear: "She is lying, this woman is in league with the demon!"
Karil came down and approached the two. The townspeople were whispering.
Karil looked at the woman and said: "You shouldn't let him hurt you like this."
Karil took the woman's hand and rolled up her sleeve. There were scratches on her arm.
Woman: "This man always beats me, I wanted to escape in this situation, but he attacked me with a knife."
When the man saw that Karil was distracted, he got up to run away. Suddenly, Karil attacked him with magic and said: "Do you think I will let you escape?!"
People were all impressed by Karil and started supporting him.
A man: "Who said Athiris is a demon? He should be the real king!"
Another person: "Atheris, unlike Kazaris, is a kind-hearted person!"
People surrounded Karil. Karil felt uncomfortable and smiled: "Come on, I'm not that good!"
Karil used magic and disappeared to get away from the crowd.
A man said in amazement: "Where did he go?"
Kazaris was watching Karil from the tall tower of the city. Kazaris smirked and said: "Karil, you did your job much better than me."
Kazaris decided to turn the old abandoned castle into his palace. Kazaris was looking at the castle to get more familiar with it.
Kazaris: "This castle is so big that I'll get lost in it!"
Karil, leaning against the wall, said: "Your terrible sense of direction is a big weakness."
Kazaris, with pride: "I was watching you. You did a good job."
Karil: "Of course, instead of threatening others with fear, I used charisma to turn them into our allies."
Kazaris: "Whether they are my slaves or not, they must obey me."
Karil: "You are too harsh. In critical situations, no one will support you. That's why Lyotan was able to destroy your entire army."
Kazaris thought for a moment and said: "You are right. You always teach me useful things."
Karil: "Yes, well, you are the only friend I have."
Kazaris frowned at Karil and said: "I admit you are much better than me, but what's with this Athiris name you've given yourself?"
Karil smiled and, placing his hand on his chest, said: "Athiris is the monster within me."
Kazaris: "The monster within you?"
Karil: "Yes, the one who has enslaved my soul."
Kazaris smirked and said: "Interesting, I'd like to know more about this Athiris."
Karil was sitting on the windowsill, while Kazaris was sitting behind the desk.
Karil, with boredom: "Are you sure Lyotan will come here?"
Kazaris smiled proudly and said: "Of course, now that you're allied with me, he has more motivation to come here and try to stop us."
Karil smiled and said: "I've set a special trap for Lyotan. He definitely won't expect it and will fall right into it."
Kazaris laughed and said: "You always surprise me. When did you learn all these different spells?"
Karil smiled and said: "You underestimated me? I'm much more talented than you think."
Lyotan opened the door and entered Kazaris's palace, a large hall in front of him.
Lyotan shouted: "Kazaris, I know you're here, show yourself!"
Kazaris stood at the top of the stairs with a smirk and said: "If you want me, come forward."
Lyotan angrily said: "Kazaris, this time I will really kill you!"
Lyotan rushed towards Kazaris, but suddenly he was trapped by golden circles. Lyotan was shocked and shouted: "What?!"
Kazaris came down the stairs and approached Lyotan.
Kazaris smirked and said: "How does it feel to be caught in your own trap?"
Karil approached Lyotan from the right corner and said: "Just as I planned."
Lyotan looked at Karil in surprise and said: "Karil, why are you helping Kazaris?"
Karil grabbed Lyotan's arm and said: "Have you forgotten what they did to Tanita ten years ago?"
Lyotan's face contorted and said: "So you are helping Kazaris for revenge."
Karil stepped away from Lyotan and said: "I'm sorry, but this is what I chose and I won't back down."
Kazaris laughed and said: "Lyotan, now it's time to take my revenge on you."
