Current Form of Champion Path On Display: Domain/Projection

Note: It has been written that this Domain must not be confused with a Hero’s Domain, which is something that all Heroes possess. This Domain is a projection of one’s path into the world, which is a Form of attack as opposed to attacking in different Forms.]

While the message sounded in Daneel’s mind, the King of Lanthanor tried to close his jaw which was still hanging open after seeing such a breathtaking display of power.

However, he quickly realized that something was wrong.

By all assumptions, someone who had a hole that was large enough for a fully grown man to fit through in their stomach should be dead.

However, the ’Madness Domain’ was still active, crackling with energy and threatening to decimate anyone who entered.

After spitting out blood, the Mad Doctor’s eyes had also closed, and he appeared dead.

Then why was his domain still active?

Ashahell seemed to have noticed this too after turning around. As an expression of extreme vexation appeared on his face, he prepared to go back in disregarding any injuries he might sustain, but suddenly, Daneel saw a sight he would never forget.

The sun blackened out, as if someone had stretched their hand over it, and everything became still.

"Young King, a Hero approaches, and he is a powerful one. We must leave here, at least. Although my spell will hide you, a true Hero might be able to sense something if you are so close. Quickly start moving east. I’ll still be able to transmit what happens, so don’t worry."

Hearing this, Daneel got an expression of slight panic on his face before he slowly started to move away.

Still very dazed from the display of power, he was keeping a close eye on Ashahell, so when the man turned toward his direction, Daneel froze as sweat suddenly appeared all over his body, completely drenching him and making his heart beat out of his chest.

"Drakos, you said he can’t detect me, right?"

"He can’t! This man is no ordinary Champion. Still, Young King, disregard his gaze. You must leave. NOW!"

Since Daneel had taken that portion of the Ancient Dragon’s consciousness into his body, this was the first time that he was seeing him actually serious.

As he screamed the last word, the majestic roar of a dragon seemed to be echoing in his mind, making him enter a state of high alertness that allowed him to cast off the panic that had arisen due to the possibility that the man, no, insanely powerful monster that was just a few hundred meters away from him might know of his presence.

Heeding Drakos’s words, Daneel briskly walked away, taking care not to disturb a single twig on the forest floor.

Finally, when he got the get-go from Drakos, he teleported a short distance away before taking in huge gulps of air.

Daneel had been holding his breath this entire time, hoping that nothing would happen.

He had thought that he was some hotshot who could defend himself because he had reached the Peak Warrior level, but he realized just how much of an ant he was after witnessing that display of power.

Although Ashahell had used it against him, too, before, this was nothing like that.

No, Daneel could tell that it wasn’t some simple spell that could be avoided using some kind of means. It was something so much more, and even though Daneel couldn’t tell exactly what it was, he knew that he stood no chance.

So, right now, he threw away all remaining thoughts he had about probably facing Ashahell.

Using someone else to remove this threat was best.

Calming down, Daneel realized that it had already been 10 seconds since that moment when the sun had blackened, so he quickly asked Drakos to use that spell to let him eavesdrop again.

As he blinked, the image around him changed, and it as if he was back at the same spot he had been 10 seconds ago.

The Mad Doctor was still floating in the air looking like a corpse, and his Madness Domain was still active.

However, Ashahell seemed to have cleaned up. The wounds he had sustained were no longer visible, and he also seemed to have had a change of clothes.

Everything else looked the same, and Ashahell seemed to be waiting for something.

3 seconds later, a figure appeared between him and the Mad Doctor.

At the same moment, Ashahell turned around and kneeled to the figure.

This was an old man who was wearing maroon robes. He had a short white beard which seemed to be immaculately trimmed, and his white hair fell to beneath his shoulders.

His robes were old school, reminding Daneel of the Kings he had seen in a few textbooks on Earth. There was a scarf of sorts which was around his neck, with his left hand raised to chest level on which the long end of the scarf was draped on.

All in all, he looked to Daneel like one who had just walked out of a court a few centuries ago.

He had an ancient look to him, as if he had existed for a very long time, and this was exacerbated by his eyes, which spoke of such wisdom that couldn’t even be fathomed by mortals.

However, now, those eyes were filled with disappointment.

"Ashahell. Why am I not surprised?"

His voice was deep, and when Daneel heard it, even though he wasn’t at the location, he felt as if it had some kind of hypnotic tone to it, almost as if it were designed to make anyone who heard it obey and go along.

"He broke the laws, so I was just meting out the punishment. I received-"

"A report from one of your contacts. I know. But he was wrong. The Mad Doctor wasn’t the one who gave the Echer seeds before, and he certainly isn’t using them now."

"What? How? He is trustworthy! I was just-"

"He received information from someone else, and because of a few coincidental reasons, the report was sent forward to you by a mistake by one of his staff."

"A mistake?! But I didn’t know! I just wanted to-"

It seemed that interrupting someone was the favorite pastime of this aged man, as he continued doing it without giving any hint of stopping it.

"Mete out justice. Child, the age of a single hair follicle of mine is longer than what you’ve spent on this continent. You knew that you would not be blamed too much if you did things in this way, as everyone already knows about how...sentimental you are about the continent. I’ve traced everything that’s happened, even though you went to great lengths to hide the traces. You destroyed the Mad Doctor’s backups, so there is no concrete proof about anything, and especially about those incidents that you covered up. Your aim was to get away with killing him, after making sure that there was no proof against you to further increase our suspicion that you’ve struck a deal with the Church. You think you’ve succeeded, right?"

With everything exposed, Daneel could see Ashahell hold his breath.

Clearly, this Hero, whoever he was, had been able to find out everything in minutes.

Daneel thanked the stars that he had a Hero-level Mind Control spell that couldn’t be detected by this man, because if that were not the case, even more stuff would have been revealed by now which would definitely have led to his capture and eventual death.

Daneel had been the one to make that ’mistake’ happen coincidentally by Ashahell’s informant using Mind Control, in the same way that he had set everything else up to make this fight happen.

After giving a pause, the Hero continued.

"Wrong! I knew that you might try something like this, so I set up special formations to detect trinkets like these. That’s how I was able to come so fast. The Mad Doctor will live, and although he will be in a coma for a considerable amount of time, he will still be able to serve this continent when the time comes. You, though. You thought you were so smart. But for once, the Mad Doctor was smarter than you. You deleted his backup, sure. But you couldn’t find this."

As the Hero unveiled a data cube from beneath his robe, Ashahell’s eyes widened oh so slightly, displaying his shock for the world to see.

Impossible! That guy had made another backup?!

Seeing this, despite the tension of the situation, Daneel couldn’t help but snicker.

It was he who had made that backup and placed it in such a way that the Hero would be able to find it.

After all, if he had started scheming anyway, why not see it through to the end?

Of course, the Mad Doctor would be the one taking the credit, but the end result was what was most important.

Especially after that incredible power display, Daneel really, really wanted Ashahell to be put away.

Thankfully, for once, it seemed that his schemes were going to pay off in the way he had expected them to.

"It’s over, Ashahell. I’ve seen what coverups you’ve done. The only reason you’re still alive is that some on the council have stated that you might be being framed. Only because of that possibility, you will be locked in the best prison we have, until such a time when your guilt or innocence can be proven. Don’t bother wasting your breath. The decision has been made. Let’s go."

With the last sentence, Ashahell was forcefully dragged away in an instant by that Hero, who vanished too, letting the sun shine again.

As for the Mad Doctor, he had been taken away too, but in a much gentler manner.

As the Madness Domain finally disappeared, Daneel heaved a huge, huge sigh of relief.

Well, the Mad Doctor wasn’t dead, but he had practically gotten everything else he had asked for. Ashahell was going to rot behind bars, so he would no longer have to worry about that pertinent threat at least for the time being.

However, right now, as the Mad Doctor would be in a coma anyway, it was time for some good ol’ looting.

Regaining his enthusiasm, Daneel chuckled and made his way back to the Sect before discreetly entering the Mad Doctor’s house again.

If the kind woman who had raised him in the orphanage back on Earth got to know that he had become someone who delighted so much in looting, she would definitely have been quite disappointed.

The guy was in a coma, so he wouldn’t miss them. Even if he did, Daneel could handle that later, as Drakos had just told him that with that amount of injuries, it would definitely be at least 6 months to a year before he got revived.

First, Daneel packed away the piles and piles of Ker Gems and the Ker Root, before getting to the really good stuff.

To the back of the vault was a mottled diary, which seemed to have been written by a madman.

Oh, right- that madman was the Mad Doctor.

As he quickly touched it, Daneel got a notification from the system which made his face light up with a smile.
