[Name: Vanis Gans / Race: Kizar (Humanoid) / Level 6342 / Age: 4,232,423,993 Years / Affitinites: High-Wind: 73%, Med-Dark: 15%, Med-Water: 98%, Low-Holy: 56%, Low-Fire: 15%, Low-Earth: 3% ]

'Ha who is this,' I wonder, when I scanned the world he didn't appear. He must have come here not too long ago, considering his ability he shouldn't be able to hide from me.

He was using a wind spell to cut through the World Tree, it wasn't very powerful, but it was working with time.

The person had a couple strange items with him, a blue staff and a cloak. The staff looked to be made to boost magical power, but for the rest, I didn't know.

"So what are you doing here Mr. Gans?" I say while staying hidden, hoping to be safer.

"Who's there?" He quickly stopped what he was doing and sends a mana pulse throughout the cave.

Mana locator, well he isn't going to be able to detect me like that. I pull Harman and me into the shadows and let the scan progress over me.

After a while, the World Tree regenerated back to its peak state and then tried to escape, but there seemed to be a barrier restraining it.

'So he trapped the World Tree and was trying to kill it off, but why?' One usually didn't blindly kill off world trees as it destroys the world along with it unless there was a reason.

"Vanis I will give you two options," I say very intimidatingly. "First you die trying to fight against me or second, you tell me the reason for this attack and I'll let you leave."

The man was aged more than me, but his level was below by a massive margin even if there was a fight, it wouldn't harm me. The only thing I could imagine that he could do it call for help and even then unless you have good standing you usually couldn't summon someone of my power.

"Who is there? You may be able to hide, but don't think that you'd be able to scare me without showing yourself," the man spoke.

"So showing myself would scare you then?" I come out of his shadow, keeping Harman inside of the shadow I grab Vanis by his neck.

"Scared?"

"Wind Burst," a punch of air was thrown out at me. I stood still and powered up my mana shield and let the air press against me.

The surprising thing for him is that his spell did absolutely nothing for me.

I pushed towards him yet again and let a condensed golden water pellet shoot at him. As it was about to hit his forehead, his cape flew up and blocked the water.

"System what is that cape?" I originally thought it was another mana booster, but it seems to be a protection item and a pretty good one as well to work against my spell. Protection items were a rarity in the universe and there is only a couple of places I know of that is guaranteed to have one at all times.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

[The cape is called 'Rushing Cape,' a level 4632 magic item. The Item works by using a large amount of mana to protect its user.]

'Judging by how the cape is losing its color meaning most likely destroyed it. Maybe I can find more on him thanks to the cape.'

"I'll give you one more chance, choose."

"Fine," even if he didn't know who Dracula was, he was certainly frightened and with the cape taking all of his mana away from one hit, he understands that Dracula isn't someone he can take on. Looking for anything that might get him out of here he quickly stops and gives up.

He gets down on one knee and putting the staff on the ground, then moves away and stops.

"I'm giving my weapon to you, I hope you may forgive me in any trouble I may have given," he says.

Looking at the old man, which in appearance didn't look quite old. He grabbed two things from his pouch and gave them to me, a clock and a key. After scanning both I found that the clock is to hold the world trees new seed and the key is to open and release the seed.

"What were you going to do with the world?" Taking both from him and stuffing them into my inventory.

"I was originally going to become a god and try to shape my own world, but then I saw that slave worlds were becoming increasingly more profitable." Staring up at the ceiling he sighs.

'I personally don’t mind slaves, but it's fun to find people yourself, after all, you don't want a slave that is completely stupid. So him just making a slave world is completely stupid to me, if there is no talent then there is no reason.’

I walk to the man and place my hand on top of his shoulder.

“Well then, Hell flame.” The same void black flame came out and invaded his body turning him into ash then into nothingness. The effects were so great then it caused the staff and everything around to be completely destroyed including the spellbinding all of us in here.

After looking around I saw that the World Tree was pulling itself away from us in a frightening manner.

“Dark Bind,” I wave my hand and a complexed diagram was formed and enlarged itself around everything.

“World Tree, this is not a nice way to thank your savior. If not for me who would have stopped this man from killing you? I think you have to compromise me a little, I even am so nice and tell you something that would be of equal value, your fruit, two of them.” I pull out a cooling box and place it in front of the World Tree.

‘Thank you for your help, as I only have these two I hope you use them wisely.’ A soft voice entered my brain and said. It opens its bark and shows three things inside, a crystal and two fruits. The fruit looked inscribed in ancient words and the crystal look dazzling. The fruit was placed into the cooling box I provided, easy fitting both.

“Why of course,” I unseal the area, bring the box back into my inventory and pull Harman from the shadows.

“Time to leave,” I say to Harman, he nodded and follows behind me.

Making our way out of the cave it collapses on itself, the sounds of the air compressing it way out of the rocks hurt the ears and the light of the outside encompass both of us.

“Good news Harman, we got the last thing to fix you up.” His eyes shift towards me immediately. "Really, that's great! When do we start with the treatment to fix my body?"

"Don't worry we will start soon, but first let's get somewhere where nothing can disturb me." Many people will most likely come over here to find out what the noises were, the Dark Bind doesn't block sound.

"Yes, thank you, Dracula."

We walk away from the area and head to my territory, to make a private area to not be bothered. When working with world-changing items it is a very important thing to be able to focus on one thing at a time.

POV - Hydra King Tithir Absolute

'What is this?' I look around and no one is here and the cave is buried.

'What happened, am I too late? No, the world tree should be fine, the world itself is. Where are the guardians of the World Tree as there are no bodies or blood to indicate a battle?' Filled with questions he makes his way through the dirt and rocks to find the World Tree to answer his problems,

Find a hole, which was previously dug out by the tree he makes his way down and stumbles into an opening.

'I see you've found me again, Tithir,' a gentle voice sounds.

"Yes, it is good to see that you are fine and thank you for speaking with me."

'I have been rescued by a mysterious person, he was being followed by your son, do you know him?' The tree askes hoping to create some connection to the expert.

"Huh, which son?"

'Your first born, Harman. He looked strange as his physical form was in crystal form and his spirit form was out in the open, but he was here, I sensed him.'

Creating a misunderstanding that shook the Kings head.
