Earth,
Japan,
It was isolated place. A place where the real power of Japan breaths.
Home for Japanese Sorcery Society.
It was situated inside a mountain which opens path for the society.
While the mountain itself is located in deep forest and is small in size, the Society inside the mountain itself is wide spread.
Rivers with clean water, fresh aura, various animals and presence of high Dark Energy embraces this place.
The outskirts of the moutain was guarded by Sorcerer Class Cop Branch Specerers.
It was living heaven for Japanese sorcerers.
Cop Branch Sorcerers were talking about monster attack among themselves while a person wearing black hoodie suddenly appears there out of nowhere.
Sorcerers take their guard against this intruder.
[Sorcerer 1]: Who are you intruder?!
[Sorcerer 2]: Are you some tourist?
The intruder removes his hood that was hiding his face and the sorcerers immediately recognise this face.
Blue hairs and such a charming face, it's one of the Big Three from Immortalus Society, Arun.
Sorcerers immediately retrieved their weapons pointing at him and bowed as greeting.
[Sorcerer 1]: How we can help you Sir Arun?
Arun was smiling gently. He seems in good mood.
[Arun]: I just wanted to meet Sir Shang. Sir Krishna wanted to exchange some information regarding the monster attack that happened with Sir Shang.
[Sorcerer 2]: We apologise for our behavior and we will be glad to guide you there.
Arun laughed it off with friendly manner.
[Arun]: No need for that, I already tracked the place so I will be leaving.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
Saying that, Arun disappeared into the moutain.
Sorcerers were left dumbfounded.
[Sorcerer 1]: When did he even track the place?
[Sorcerer 2]: If it's Sir Arun then it's possible. He must have already assessed the whole society and asked us to let him enter. Isn't he generous?
[Sorcerer 1]: Hope so.
An old man who looked in his early 50 was brewing tea.
He had lean and tall body built with white hairs and few scars on his face.
He was the legendary Shang. He isn't Chinese, he is Japanese of course.
[Shang]: How long are you trying to hide?
To his words, a figure jumps inside the room from a portal.
[Arun]: Haha, Mr Shang is as fast as always.
[Shang]: You are flattering me young man. I am but an old man.
[Arun]: Really? Old men in a profession where men die young are geared more you know?
[Shang]: You surely prepare answers in advance I guess.
Arun and Shang both shared a small laugh with them before the atmosphere turned serious.
[Arun]: About the monster attack on you,...I felt bad about it.
[Shang]: Don't worry, they couldn't even watch my movements and died so easily, I was even barely trying
[Arun]: I meani felt bad for those monsters to face you.
[Shang]: Regarding information...
[Arun]: Yes, your warning about mission breach was true. Indeed Pratik and his team were attacked by a monster named Serag on their previous mission. According to the information Krishna gave me, the civilization on that planet was trying to summon an entity perhaps. The Serag should be one of them that attacked Pratik however...
Arun narrowed his eyes.
[Arun]: Krishna said that Serag was not from the same species neither there was any contract made between other specie monster nor was such monster summoning made.
[Shang]: I see, so by that you mean Krishna thinks that there is someone else that is purposefully targetting leaders of each Sorcery Society?
[Arun]: Yes, that should be the case. However sending such monster who can't even perceive movements of sorcerers such as your caliber...this has to be something else. I think they are trying to observe the techniques and fighting styles we use.
Shang dwelled deep in his thoughts.
[Shang]: What do you think we should do? Interrogating the attacking monster in future is futile since they have curse that bursts their tongue if they try to speak about their ruler, right?
[Arun]: That is certainly true. My opinion says that we should try to avoid showing our signature technique while fighting the monsters while arranging a team to reverse track the hierarchy of monsters that attacked us.
[Shang]: Hmm...I understand. I will ask Nayaka and arrange a meeting among all Society Leaders. This is a serious issue. Such an enemy can be a great threat of not handled properly.

Monster Realm,
Kae was walking down on stairs.
This was his very own palace but deep down the palace was a deeper prison isolated from the realm.
This prison was huge and no sun ray ever entered it.
There was only one prisoner in this whole prison. He was kept in the lowest floor .
How many years would have been since his arrest?
100 years? 200 years? 300 years?
No
That prisoner is facing this cruel punishment from past 1500 years. It was Kae himself who was punishing this criminal devouring each scream and enjoying each moment of his despair.
Kae opened the door of the prisoner's cell.
Here it was the prisoner,...a disfigured head of a monster which was bleeding. He was alive thanks to a complex technique of Kae.
Body is not present because it's gone in these years thanks to Kae again for his punishments.
Kae entered the cell smiling as always.
[Kae]: It's punishment time sweetheart, you must be feeling lonely right?
Kae says those words everytime he enters the place to punish the monster.
"Please no... please please... so many years have passed... please forgive me... please grant me death...I can't...this...I can't handle this...I feel guilty for all the sins I have committed... please forgive me."
The monster pleaded with everything he had.
However Kae was still having his calm innocent smile which was looking quite scary in this very moment.
[Kae]: How sad? You must be feeling defeated right? You are confused actually. What you feel is not guilt but regret...you regret leaving me alive. You regret not destroying me completely before I deatroyed you. That's how feelings work right?
Kae was using some terrifying magic on the monster.
" Arghhhhha!!! That hurts!! That hurts!!! I am truly feeling guilty . Please show mercy."
[Kae]: My my, does that mean I am lying Bakiyo? You are quite a nasty spoilt kid aren't you?
Kae said that with smiling face. It was truly terrifying. The monster's name was Bakiyo apparently.
After some time, Kae exited the prison while talking to Bakiyo, Kae's clothes were coloured with Bakiyo's blood.
[Kae]: Don't worry sweetheart, 5 years from now, I will be having a war with sorcerers. On that auspicious day, I will grant you mercy called death.
Saying that Kae closed the gate of the cell and left with his smile never leaving his face.
"Not just you but my sufferings will be lifted too. I will finally meet them...I can't wait for the war. The day when I will end my sufferings."
Saying that to himself Kae returned to his throne and slept on it.
