Fear and panic set in Theodore's face. "YOU...YOU...WHO ARE YOU?" asked Theodore in a broken voice.

"I am your beloved son, father. How do I look when all grown up?" asked Bowen with a smile.

“No...no...you...you are lying. How did you...ha haa...right, you just want to put on a show, right? You think I will be scared because of this. You took my son's appearance to confuse me...I won't be fooled," he said, overcoming his fear.

Theodore immediately conjured a battle axe and went straight for Bowen's head. Bowen didn't move. Just before the tip of the axe touched Bowen's head, Bowen vanished, and the axe cut through the air. Bowen appeared some meters away from Theodore to his left. Again, Theodore ran fast aiming at Bowen. But Bowen was faster, vanishing again at the neck of the moment. Theodore became furious...aaaaaaa...he let out a furious cry. Now his axe was enveloped with a bluish glow. He threw the axe towards Bowen. Bowen extended his hand and easily caught the axe by its blade. The blade didn't even leave a scratch on his hands, nor did his glove tear. He made a slight press, broke the axe blade in pieces, and threw it to the ground. Theodore understood that the man in front of him is more powerful than himself, who is almost equal to a D-ranker. Without hesitation, he started to run towards the entrance of the cave.

“Father, don't leave your son," said Bowen, and with a slight movement, appeared before Theodore again. It is now an easy task for Bowen, who has quick dash and 33 points of agility.

“You...how did you get so powerful?" asked Theodore, startled.

"I will tell you that later, but tell me why you kidnapped the children."

"Will you let me go if I tell you the truth?" asked Theodore through gritted teeth.

(sigh...) "Can't be helped. Fine, I can't be so cruel now, can I?"

“Okay, look at this." Theodore showed an olive green covered book, the same book by which he was reading out strange words when he was near the altar.

"What's that?"

"This is a book about the god of wishes. It has every detail about the god. His place of dwelling and also the spells to call upon him."

"This god of wishes you are talking about...tell me in detail about it. How is this related to you kidnapping the children?"

After some silence, Theodore started, "I am not a human. I am from the Aetherian race, descendants of fallen angels. We have a very low bloodline that we are not even allowed to call ourselves the descendants of fallen angels. Many of my ancestors sacrificed their lives to research on increasing the bloodline purity, but to no avail. That's when my father got this book. He completely dedicated his life to study the language of the book. And that's when we came to know about the god of wishes. This god will give us knowledge of whatever we want. My father died in the summoning process. Later, I found the mistakes my father did and summoned him, but I lost all my cultivation..."

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

"So you summoned this god of wishes to get a way to increase your bloodline?"

"YES," Theodore said in an agitated voice. "Definitely. Once we get the way, our whole race will become respected among fallen angels. And I, who discovered the method, will be given all sorts of treasure... I will gain all the cultivation... Everything my ancestors sacrificed..."

"Wait, what does that have to do with the children?

"That god of wishes demands souls in exchange for other knowledge.

So why children instead of adults?"

"I don't know about that...the god only demands souls of younger children."

"So, you are fine with sacrificing your own son for your bloodline?"

Theodore remained silent, not making any eye contact. "TELL ME," ordered Bowen with a voice that sent shivers down the spine.

"This...that is...Umm...this, you are...You are not my son," said Theodore, shocking Bowen.

"Not your son?"

"Yes...even Felina is not your real mother."

"???"

"Well, this...6 years ago, when I decided to kidnap children, I needed a disguise, so I brainwashed Felina, that naive girl, to marry me. I never took her seriously as a wife, but she always wanted a child to complete the family. One day she brought you from somewhere, and when I asked your origin, she...said..." hesitated Theodore.

"Mom said what?"

"She...she said she doesn't remember. At first, I thought she was lying, but when I inquired, I found out that someone has forcefully erased her memories of the day when she brought you."

"Erased? Is it even possible?"

"Well, not for common people...but those in peak...you know...it's so easy for them. It's rare, but yes..."

Before Theodore could finish, "Let this sinner be the source of my divine flame," said Bowen, and a small golden fire immediately hit Theodore.

"Aaaa...gaaa...aaa...you...you...said you would leave me...aaa...a...you...moron...noo...gaaaaaa...aaaaaa..."

"What do I do? It was the only way to get those details from you," said Bowen with a helpless face.

Bowen turned around to see the rogues and Bale trembling pale with fear. He slowly walked towards them, but in their eyes, Bowen seemed to be the grim reaper who had come to take their lives.

"Please leave me, please...please..." They didn't have time to hear their pleadings, for he had only one hour to stay in Reaper mode. He used divine flame on those rogues and Bale, the friend with high intensity, engulfing all of their bodies until their physical body was completely destructed, leaving a completely burnt body. Soon there were five burnt corpses that were left behind.
