CHAPTER 5 – A TEST OF WILL PART 2
Auto revive has been activated. That was all Jamie could hear as his life was snuffed out. Jamie saw a bright light at the end of a tunnel. His spirit drifted towards the light before some unknown force pulled him away. Soon Jamie found himself speeding back towards his own body. He got a good look at it. The site made him nauseous. Before he had time to even think about what would happen. He entered his body as everything went dark for a split second.
The following second was followed by a sonic boom. Jamie opened his eyes to see that all the enemies around him had been knocked off their feet. Jamie looked to see Brad had flown into the taller figure with such speed. That both had embedded themselves in a near bye granite rock. Ouch. Is all Jamie could think of the result. The other two robbed figures had been knocked out from the blast. The bad news was their summons were now running amuck uncontrolled.
Lily and the others were doing their best to subdue the summons but were having no avail. The beasts just fed on the surrounding mana. That was the risk of demonic summons. If the caster lost control or fell unconscious. The beasts would suck up all the surrounding mana in the area.
Jamie quickly summoned Philip. The pheonicorn quickly formed. Jamie spoke to Phillip who quickly burst into flames from being spooked. Jamie just sighed as Phillip reformed. “I need your help to eradicate these things.” He told Phillip. Phillip nodded as Jamie told him to cast “Spontaneous Combustion.” The closest demonic summons immediately caught fire. Jamie watched in horror and awe at the ensuing chaos. The flames jumped to other demonic spawns. Lashing out like an uncontrolled inferno. The flames were quick to spread as they only targeted the summons. Soon every demonic summon was ablaze running like crazy. The effect didn’t kill all of them, but I did enough bleed damage for the other followers of Iris to finish off the remaining summons. The fight was over within ten minutes after it started.
With the fight over Jamie watched as the Black Void Cult members were detained. The two unconscious summoners were bound and detained with mana cancelling handcuffs. They were both given a potion as well. Brad was also detained but was being treated for his injuries. He also received the potion as he tried to not drink it with no avail. It was forced down his throat. The tallest of the bunch had died when he was blasted into the rock. His soul was gone before the healers could try to revive him. He watched as they were hauled away somewhere.

Lily quickly ran over to Jamie. She had a worried look on her face. “I thought you were dead. How did you come back to life?” She asked as she quivering in her voice. Jamie told her of Phillip’s unique ability as he tried to calm her. Jamie had gotten another look at a figure that had followed behind Lily.
“Is everything alright here?” Lily turned around, while Jamie just stared at the man.
“Oh, Morack, I didn’t now you were here.” Replied Lily as she looked at him. She then turned her head to Jamie. “Jamie this is Morack. He oversees security around here.”
“You must be Jamie.” Said Morack as he approached Jaime to give him a firm but light handshake.
“I am sorry that this all had happened. I am having the survivors interrogated right now.”
Morack towered over both at around 6 and half feet in height. He his brute frame made him intimidate to others for sure. The man was holding a war hammer on his back. His smile made Jamie feel uncomfortable with all the points in them. His skin had a snot green color too it.
Morack must have realized he was making Jamie nervous by his glare. “If I am making you uncomfortable. I am sorry.” He replied before stepping back. “Sometimes I accidentally give off my vibes from being an orc.” He shrugged.
“Well, I must be off to figure out what the hell happened here and try to cover this all up from any wind of The Black Void Cult from finding out.” Sighed Morack as he walked away.
Morack had given Lily to stay with Jamie. He would gather other security to help guard Jamie. He was told after what had occurred, he was going to need a little more protection.
A few hours had passed when the fighting had occurred. Jamie was back in the building he was assigned to. Mages who were skilled with repair work were called in to fix the damage. Jamie was impressed with how fast they were able to fix everything. Jamie wanted to go exploring but was forced to sit where he was. Lily was given fierce instructions not to let him leave under any circumstances.
