Ficool

Chapter 5 - The Priest's Domain and Dream Magic

Everyone boarded the carriages, wearing cloaks that covered their entire bodies so they wouldn't be exposed. However, there was a mastermind within the gang who had predicted all the events; he blew up Leader George's carriage, but George managed to protect himself at the last moment. Everyone realized that danger was close. Julian got out of his carriage to avoid the explosions and continued on foot, walking through the night as rain fell from the sky and lightning flashed. He reached the front door of Alley 23, waiting for the prey to emerge so he could finish them. In the quiet silence, a loud whistling sound came from George, signaling the start of the mission. Julian's heart began to race—not from fear, but because he was about to test his power against a real opponent.

At Alex and Natalia's side, they entered through the back door of the gang's headquarters without delay and began assassinating the soldiers without making a single sound. But what broke the agreed-upon plan was Charles; he entered through the front door right in front of the gang, attacking them with extreme recklessness. He thought they were weak, but suddenly, someone from behind him dealt a deep wound to his left shoulder, which sent him crashing to the ground from the intense pain. George shouted at the top of his lungs: **"Everyone, attack!"**

Julian and William rushed inside quickly. Julian grabbed Charles and took him out to George for treatment, then returned to the headquarters to complete the mission. The gang members thought William was an easy opponent and five of them lunged at him in a single second. But William mocked them, putting his hands behind his back and dodging their strikes as if he were dancing in derision. Suddenly, branches of grass erupted from the ground, piercing their hearts and killing them all, and this was without him even showing his hands. Alex attacked and drew his sword, starting a direct fight, with Natalia assisting him from behind. From the back, William took a blow that wounded his hand... William, staying calm and motionless, said: **"I haven't felt pain in years, and you dared to strike your master!"**

William's eyes began to glow intensely, he adjusted his fighting stance, and brought out a sword made of purple magic; with one strike, he cut another person in half. Before Julian could enter, a giant rock was thrown at him, smashing him against the alley walls. Quickly, he released many daggers and threw them at the person, using his ability: **[Instant Transmission]**—an ability where Julian teleports to the person touched by his daggers in an instant.

Julian teleported to the person quickly, dodged his strikes, wounded him with his daggers, and killed him. From behind, someone with a sword was about to kill Julian, but he dodged at the last moment, struck him with his knee and a dagger to the neck, and killed him. William shouted loudly: **"Gather them to me!"**

Everyone gathered all the gang members and headed toward William. Before the investigators could kill the gang members, William's silence was broken: **"World of the High Priest!"**

Everyone entered a world where there were many sorcerers who seemed to be welcoming someone of great presence, and that person was William, who sat on his throne with his legs crossed above everyone. In the blink of an eye, all the sorcerers attacked the gang members and the investigators as well. Julian attacked and helped in killing them, but suddenly, the gang leader, **Albert**, attacked him and tried to kill him, but only wounded his body. Julian could no longer endure, so in an instant: **"Dream World!"**

The gang leader, named Albert, was transported. Julian summoned a massive arena extending for thousands of kilometers. Julian stepped onto the arena and out of nowhere brought forth two massive and powerful Water Goliaths. Julian's eyes turned to the light blue found in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the two giants rushed toward Albert, striking him with devastating punches that crushed him against the ground. He tried to jump up, but a giant fish emerged from nowhere and dragged Albert to the ground. Before he could realize it, a dagger from Julian cut off his hands. He began to scream in intense pain, but before he could speak, a giant stepped on him with his foot and crushed him into the ground, killing him. The entire world disappeared and Julian lost consciousness from the extreme consumption of so much power.

When he woke up, he saw himself in the library, with William and Alex sitting next to him. When he stood up, both of them smiled and said at the same time: **"You were impressive... in the mission!"**

Julian was happy because, after many years, no one had praised him with such beautiful praise. Julian stood up and tried to walk, but he fell to the ground because he hadn't eaten anything for hours. His personal assistant brought food and fed him. William came and gave Julian a potion, telling him to drink it. He drank it, and it was a potion that returned all his magic as if it had never been drained.

Julian said: **"I will go home now... goodbye!"**

He headed home. When he entered, his sister hugged him, fearing for him because he was very late. **Victoria** asked him, worried: **"Why are you so late?"**

Julian: **"I was on a mission... a surprise! For the first time, I used magic!"**

Victoria was happy for Julian and told him, "I prepared dinner for you, come and eat." Julian: **"I already ate in the office."**

Victoria was angry: **"My food doesn't please you anymore? I'm going to sleep!"**

Before she slept, she grabbed a metal object and struck Julian on the head to make sure his sister wasn't upset, Julian ate her food and helped her with some household chores. They played and laughed together, filled with immense happiness, before sleep finally claimed them.
