74 Building Foundations (2/2)

The Founder smirked seeing this, he was very pleased though he may abuse and torture this child like he was nothing he saw so much potential that he even dared say that he would be surpassed.

'And he hasn't even had his first sip' chuckled the Founder.

This was the scene that Zarra happened on and seeing that armor his eyes became deathly serious as he pointed his hand towards the Founder and the Old monster took the hit in shock.

'Maybe I've gotten rusty' thought the Founder looking at the injury before turning to look at the mage.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.

”You have taken someone from us... we want him back” started Gregory rasping as corpse poison drifted from his lips.

”You will die” added Jared

”And we will leave with the boy” finished Zarra flashing before the Founder causing him to chuckle as he sent a casual strike at the mage but his eyes widened when it was caught.

”A little power to you, interesting” smiled the Founder not that it could be seen.

Gregory intended to send his corpses but found he had lost connection with many of them causing him to look only to see Draig dismantling his forces with varying degrees of injuries covering him, the young Feratu's clothing had long since become tattered revealing his body and thus the number of injuries.

'Damn it brat, why would you do that' cursed Gregory as he appeared behind the Founder going for a leg sweep that actuall caused the Old monsters knees to buckle slightly.

”There's one more isn't there” asked the Founder as his other hand flew up and caught Jared's sword by the handle but out of the three Jared was the strongest physically and the Founder found this out as his helmet was split revealing his shocked face to the world.

Draig saw this and began his own plotting, he wanted one thing more than anything else. That was the Devil's blood flowing through the Founder's veins, he wanted him dead and he wanted to be the one to kill him. It was for many petty reasons that he wished the Old monster dead but it had to be by his hand.

Ducking under another swing of the corpses Draig charged in while the Founder was still shocked his helm had been split but that shock soon revealed a crazed smile as Zarra was thrown from his feet and gregory knocked into piece but Jared found his wrists crushed by the Founder.

”Brat you dare turn on your Founder” growled the Old monster as he punted Draig away.

”I must admit you are quite the specimens, you perhaps sit at the pinnacle of this modern era?” asked the Founder as he began thinking of something that could aid in the process of training his little runt.

”Us and the rest of the ten Devils” stated Zarra as he burst forth faster than before truly displaying his might. Jared didn't fall behind his sword left where he had fallen as he swung his massive arms like clubs.

Gregory spat a ball of corpse poison to assist as he pulled himself together.

”Ten Devils? Dont flatter yourself” snorted the Founder as he ducked under Zarra and shoulder checked his gut but the mage only burst into a cloud of Dark dust as a knee impacted the Founders chin but his ascent was stopped by Jared's strike sending him to the ground.

”Not bad indeed, I have a proposition for you then Mortals. Gather these ten Devils as you call them, bring them here and assist me in training my runt” stated the Founder smiling as he saw a dribble of his blackened blood go down his lip.

Zarra began chuckling hearing the Founder offer this proposition causing the Old monster to look at him confused.

”There is no bargaining when one is defeated” laughed the Mage causing the Founder to try and stand but he found himself fixed in place as symbols began to crawl from the ground up his body.

”What the hell is this” roared the Founder unable to believe he had been tricked like this.

”Simple this is where you will remain until the day I die but by then my boy will be able to slay you as you are” laughed Zarra as the Founder seemed to become a dark statue untouchable by the elements incapable of moving.

”Ha ha, guys we did it” laughed Zarra goofily though he seemed to wobble a bit before falling unconscious the sealing of the Founder taking all of his energy.

Gregory summoned more of his corpses to carry Zarra and Draig while he and Jared travelled back to the township on foot.

Inside the statue the Founder struggled with his full might incapable of shattering the spell, his eyes glowed a horrifying red in his anger.

'Damn you mage, you can't stop his path to power. He will come to seek me out of his own will, if not for anything else he will return for my Devil's blood' sneered the Founder as he felt himself growing tired.

'It's only a... matter.....of.....time' were the final thoughts as the spell took full effect and their in the Ancient range the Founder statue sat unknown to the world.
