"Grahmin clan? Why is that b*tch working with those guys?" City lord asked.

"From what I have learned, she had betrayed the sacred council of the fennec fox. That is why she is working with the Grahmin clan." Lord Xander said.

​​

"Wouldn't that make things difficult for you? I mean Aurora clan and the Grahmin clan have always been friends for as long as I can remember. But now…" City lord said.

"Well, it doesn't matter now. The council member of the clan had made their decisions. Even if we have to betray the Grahmin clan, we snatch the key from any clan of the great desert." Lord Xander said.

"Woah… Aurora clans mean business…." City lord said.

"That is right."

"If you need any help from me then feel free to ask. I would surely help you." City lord said.

"We would always remember your's and your family's contribution." Lord Xander said.

"By the way, I had to ask… this key that you are referring to… What kind of key is that? You know if it is a normal lock key then any pickpocket can open it. If you guys are desperately trying to acquire the key then that would mean that this key is something different…" City lord asked.

"Keen observation. You see from what we have heard, the key of the temple has four parts. And when you join all the parts you remake the key. One of the parts of the key is with that b*tch Gracie. While I have heard that one part is with the sacred council of those mutts. While the where abouts of the other two parts are still missing." Lord Xander said.

"Do you have any idea where they might be?" City Lord asked.

"No… that is why we from the Aurora Clan is will be announcing a very big reward for the last two pieces." Lord Xander said.

"I see." City lord said.

"Now, my old friend the time has come to take my leave. With your nephew, I must leave straight away. I need to go to a lot of places." Lord Xander said while he stood up.

"It was a pleasure meeting you after all this time. Please do come again to this humble guy's home." City lord said and then the city lord started escorting Lord Xander out of the office.

Arvin had been in the form of a fly and listened to their whole conversation. As he saw them leaving, he also went out with them. Arvin then left them and went off to find the teenager that was with these guys. Today the lady luck has been extremely grateful to Arvin as he was able to hear their conversation as well he had also found another disguise that he could take on. With this disguise he would be able to blend in as well he would be able to practice his skills without any restraints.

After searching for few minutes, Arvin finally found the guy in question. He was in a room with a bunch of suitcases. Arvin presumed that these suitcases must be his luggage. Arvin saw that the cost was clear and no one was around. So he transformed back into a human form and killed the guy without any mercy.

Arvin then took his form. He was about to undress the poor guy and take his clothes. But it was then…

BOOOOOM

One of the walls of the room exploded and the Xander guy came rushing into the room. Everything happened so fast that Arvin didn't have the time to transform back to his fly form. That is why as Xander came in, he saw the body of the teenager. And then he saw a naked duplicate of the boy standing just right beside the boy….

"WHO ARE YOU?" Lord Xander bellowed in anger.

"Oh FUCK." Arvin said.

Then without saying any other word, Lord Xander weaved a magic circle and fired a lighting attack at Arvin. That attack was very fast but yet still Arvin was able to dodge the attack by jumping sideways…

"It seems like I will have to get he answeres from your corpse." Lord Xander said.

Then Xander weaved another circle and fired it again at Arvin. This time Arvin was not able to dodge quickly and the attack hit his right shoulder. That attack craked Arvin's shoulder thus making it completely useless for now.

Seeing that he had been decapitated, Arvin started running. There was a window adjacent to his current position so he jumped out of the window.

…

That Xander guy had already seen the disguise of Arvin. One of his secrets was out. And Arvin didn't want to reveal more details about his transformation skill. That is why he started running instead of transforming back in the form of a fly.

But Arvin knew that the chances of beating this guy with a broken arm were very low. So Arvin cooked a simple plan in his mind.

As he landed, he quickly hid behind the bush. That with the help of illusion casting he made a naked figure of the boy and started controlling it. Then Arvin started making that illusion running in the opposite direction.

Xander when saw that he had jumped down from the window, also started following his tail. When he looked at the window he saw that the naked guy was running towards the outer portion of the mansion. He then also jumped down from the window and started chasing after the guy.

While the Arvin who hidden behind nearby bushes came out and started running towards the opposite direction. Arvin maintained his illusion for some time before he lost control over it. To Xander, it looked like that the naked man that he was chasing just ran into a wall.

Xander stopped when he saw the naked man phase through a wall. But then he started walking towards the wall and started touching the wall. He thought that this wall was an illusion. But feeling the sturdy wall Xander became confused about what happened here. He then started looking around to see whether there was anyone else present there at the moment.

On the other hand, Arvin changed his face and cast illusionary clothes on himself. He dressed in the uniform of the guards of the mansion. He then started walking towards the exit…

{How is your arm?} Loki asked

'It hurts like hell. But it is fine.' Arvin said.

{It is my fault. I should have warned you about life brands beforehand.} Loki said.

'What are those?' Arvin asked

{It is a type of magic that helps the caster know about the life of its victim… Think of it as a device that lets someone know whether you are alive or not.} Loki said.

'So that boy had a life brand on him? That is why that monster knew that he died?' Arvin asked.

{Probably. This is the only explanation that I could think of.} Loki said.

'Great… Now a person knows about my abilities. This is just great.' Arvin said while gritting his teeth.

{Don't worry about it. People were bound to find out about it sooner or later. For now, just think about what to do next.} Loki said.

'First I have to get out of here. And find a place where I could fix this arm.' Arvin said.

{Why don't you fix it while walking?} Loki asked.

'I can do that?' Arvin asked.

{Yes. With your fluid body, it would be very easy for you to mend the broken bone. But it is just that the spell that hit your body would have done some amount of damage. So that amount of mana that you will need to mend and heal your bones will be a very large amount. So think wisely before doing so.} Loki said.

'Ok so how do I mend my bone?' Arvin asked.

{Send the mana in your body towards the affected part. Then the healing process would start automatically.} Loki said.

'Oh…' Arvin said.

Arvin then started sending his mana towards the affected part. Slowly slowly he started feeling that the bone was healing itself. But he could also feel that in healing the bone he was using up a tremendous amount of his mana. But he didn't care about it. Arvin took 10 mins to heal his arm.

After that, he should transform back into an eagle and fly off. He went back to the same inn that where he had to spend the night before. He changed his face and clothes and then he checked in that place again.

Arvin then slept all day. He had caused a commotion today in this city. So he knew that in just a few minutes the whole city would be in turmoil. So he needed rest before he could handle any more stress.

But still, today was a good day. After all, he found a lot of information about the red jewel that he has. And he also found a man that could lead him to the other parts of the keys.
