Agatha was unconscious so there was no way she could even think of dodging. Alcaz looked ecstatic at the thought of her mother dying. But his dreams were shattered when he felt the temperature of his surroundings increase suddenly. It was hot enough for the dry leaves on the ground to catch fire.
The ice projectile melted and vaporized. Alcaz looked behind himself in horror to see Dhorma literally on fire. The fire wasn't hurting him but everything around him had turned into charred ash.
This was the version of Dhorma Alcaz had seen before which terrified him to this day.
"I was just going to knock you out and part ways... But it looks like you have been possessed. If not for your father I would've killed you earlier. I have shown you enough leniency. " He said with his eyes flashing red.
"Oh really? Do you care that much about father? That's why you killed him? " Alcaz snapped back at him.
Dhorma didn't reply and just closed his eyes. He disappeared from his place panicking Alcaz again. The difference in their power was too. He grabbed Alcaz from behind and burned his whole body until his flesh started melting. Once he deemed the torture was enough he let the kid go as he plopped to the ground.

Just as he was about to leave with his servants some masked man approached him carrying a woman.
"Are you done with your job? " Dhorma asked the men in the mask.
"Yes... Thanks for your help Mr. Advisor. Now we will be taking our leave. " The masked men left after their greetings. Dhorma and his group also left soon afterward.
The forest was left silent. Marks of battles were seen in many places. These battles also bought the attention of real inhabitants of the forest. Scavengers were on the hunt to find some loot for themselves.
A small part of the forest had also caught on fire preventing most of the animals to linger there. But there were still two bodies for them to fight for.
A hyena and a bear were face to face fighting for two bodies. The hyena was as big as the bear and had three eyes. The bear on other hand had no eyes and it had big claws.
The fight started after the bear attacked the hyena with its claws but its opponent didn't move an inch. Its attack was intercepted by another hyena who was waiting in the bushes. Slowly a full pack of hyenas came into light as they all attacked and bit the bears to death. The other hyenas were as big as the previous one but didn't have a third eye which clearly meant it was their leader.
The other hyenas started eating the bear as their leader went to check the bodies they were fighting for. The leader started eating one of the bodies. It ate half and left some for its pack. It moved forward to the next body. It had no limbs but it was still alive.
The hyena started smelling the body and soon after it howled in panic as it tried to run away from the body. But it was too late as it fell to the ground and died.
