The villain's side of the novel-Chapter 4: The necklace guardian, Morcal
In an unknown sea
In a large wooden ship
After Morcal heard his name, he had to wake up from his sleep which lasted more than five thousand years. As soon as he woke up, he found in front of him another descendant of the family line that he had to serve for tens of thousands of years, but as soon as he saw this man Morcal knew that this person is much more dangerous than his ancestors. Why?
That is because Morcal is a nine-rank spirit with hundreds of Thousands of years of experience in dealing with spirits and souls, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not see or feel Fray's soul and the chance to exist a soul strong enough that Morcal himself can't see it is nearly null.
In addition to that according to the Spirits Gate, Fray contracted with two spirits which is something very remarkable itself, but in addition to that, Morcal being the necklace guardian could only make one of these two spirits Obey his orders, As for the other, he couldn't even wake him up. As for ordering him, Morcal is sure that he will not be able to achieve that even if he uses all his power. Afterall Spirits can control spirits that are weaker than them easily, and since Morcal is a nine-rank spirit, he can control all the spirits that pass through the Spirit Gate, and we should know that the number of nine-rank spirits does not exceed a hundred and Morcal is one of the strongest of those spirits this experience made Morcal come up to a conclusion that makes him shiver.
(Could it be a nine rank, no that is impossible, even if it was a nine rank with the power that the necklace gives me, I can control it easily, ... wait could it be a primitive spirit) Morcal thought, with his eyes wide open suffering a feeling he hadn't felt for a long time *horror*
With these thoughts in his mind, Morcal suddenly asked "Boy, do you have a special soul?"
After hearing Morcal's question Fray put the book he was reading on the desk and answered Morcal with a serious voice. "Yes, I have a golden soul,"
"Alright, I understand, this makes sense. No wonder I couldn't see through it." Morcal said
"You don't seem too surprised, I thought a Legendary-ranked soul was very rare," said Fray surprised by Morcal's emotionless reply
"Yes, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer than you'd expect. I've lived for more than a million years and I have seen only two spirits of a legendary rank other than yours, but I expected that after seeing your contracting spirits." Said Morcal slowly
Knock Knock Knock
Suddenly, Fray heard a knock on the door
"Come in," Fray said
"Hello, sir," said Montaser, after entering the room."We're out of the dungeon, we'll be at the port soon."
(Interesting!! ) Morcal thought with an interested look in his eyes. As Morcal was able to know that Montaser has a contracting soul. For that Montaser must have known about the loyalty contract, but he did not ask his master any disturbing questions that prove his loyalty and professionalism, and in addition to that, Morcal knew that Montaser had noticed his presence and this was something not everyone is capable of.
Usually, the owner of the necklace is the only one who can see Morcal, spirits can also see him, but they will not dare to mention his existence without his permission, even to the humans who contract with them.
"I want two Pegasus horses to be ready in the port and as soon as we arrive, you and I will go on a mission before returning home." Fray
*****
After a few hours, the ship finally reached a port. The port was full of small and medium-sized fishing boats and many people, such as fishermen and fish sellers, and a lot of action and activity, which gave the port a vibrant atmosphere.
(Although the history of humans in this world is longer than the history of humans in the world of Yassine, they are more advanced than us, is this because of the presence of magic in our world, or is there a more profound reason?) Fray thought with a serious expression while looking at the simple boots in the port.
As soon as Fray gets off the ship he found Montaser standing at the exit of the port with two horses with huge wings on their back.
"Sir, these are the Pegasus horses you requested, "Montaser said
"Thank you, Montaser, Then let's go, our destination is Turtle Mountain," said Fray, after riding the winged Horse.
*****
In a very dark place where the average person would not be able to see even their hands, a group of children stood in order, looking in the same direction. In front of them was a huge platform on which a group of men are standing side to side.
suddenly one of the men stepped forward and said "Today there will be another test in the maze, there are badges hidden in the maze to complete the test you must find and protect the badges from competitors until the end of the test. You should know that the maze contains only ten symbols," the man said in a cold voice, "and as usual there are no rules and failure means death."
*******
Nearby two winged horses descended in the middle of a forest under the foot of the mountain called Turtle Mountain.
"Is it time for you to tell me why we are here, sir?" Montaser said after getting off the pegasus.
"Do you remember the magical weapon that was stolen from the family three months ago?" said Fray as he looked towards the mountains.
"Do you mean the Ice River Sword?" Asked Montaser with surprised expressions. Because the ice River sword is a rare-ranked weapon, one of the most powerful weapons owned by the parada family but it was stolen three months ago, under mysterious circumstances.
"Yes, the group responsible for this theft is the assassin's organization nicknamed the serpents, and their headquarters is hidden in this forest," Fray said, "but I do not know its exact location, so I will rely on you for this."
"Alright sir," said Montaser, then closed his eyes and released his spiritual feeling.
Suddenly Montaser opened his eyes and said pointing in a certain direction."I feel a suffused death aura coming from this direction."
" Then let's go " Fray
