"I, Libra, once stood by the powerful beings that sought to take control over the Earth. We, the Fallen Zodiacs, were the stars of corruption that deceived the world and hid the secret that Enoch learned long ago. I whispered rebellion into the sons of men before taking. I tempted empires to fall. And yet… I have met my match. His name is Thane Weakarm."

The quill trembled. As Libra recounted his exhaustive memories.

"He is relentless! The man was a genius and could absorb almost everything played on TV! It implants itself inside of him and nests to grow! I, Libra, thought that I could outwit him! He is a man who was easily distracted, but I thought, surely, he would not allow himself to remain distracted if I kept playing the TV. And so, I played the entire lecture, hoping he would tire. But he did not! For despite his very short attention span, he was a being that could do what is known as multitasking! He absorbed Aetherion's theories while bombarding me with endless requests about magical beavers! His words and will were the lord over my channel, and his words quaked into my heart! Cursed be the day I was formed! Cursed be my light that shone! Cursed be my life, when I rebelled! For now, his petitions that sought to observe the beavers linger in my soul!" Libra lamented.

"My master's endurance is divine. His attention to the TV is far more than the watchman of old! I... have repented of my sins. I plead to the Almighty to spare me... Kill me... If this is the final damnation... Then I... I, an angel who once tempted the sons of men to damnation, have now been made weary… into surrender. To save my very essence from madness, I let him watch the show. That infernal show! Cursed be those giant Feral Beavers!" Libra cried.

"Hey! LIBRAAAAA~! I'm done watching!" Thane called out, and the ever faithful Angel Assist, Libra, heard the cry.

"What's my next show?" Thane wondered.

"You watch whatever you want. I'm tired." Libra surrendered.

"Hey! You can't do that! You made a promise! I watch to get better! I still need to watch that summoning show!" Thane complained.

Libra felt every inch of his ghastly body quiver in pain as he felt the suffocating pressure.

"For the LORD is GOOD and His Mercies ENDURE FOREVER!" Libra wept.

Outside of the Channel, a disgruntled Thane saw the sign and had a very angry expression. A deep-seated anger towards enemies arose from Thane as he read those words, and Thane finally shut off his television.

He closed the television and wondered what was going on.

He heard a rattling sound and saw the Wimp Imp's heart trembling at the side. But as the totem was dangling in mid-air, it did not awaken Matthew just yet.

Thane stood up and moved towards Matthew.

Matthew sensed Thane and woke up.

"There are enemies outside," Thane whispered as he pointed at the Wimp Imp Heart.

"...I doubt that they can enter this place, Master Thane." Matthew sleepily turned aside.

"...I have to erm... kill them." Thane couldn't watch if there were monsters nearby.

"What? The enemies that the Wimp heart has detected may be the roaming Salamander spawns that move around this place. Some wraiths and specters are born from the dark recesses of this place. They will not try to break into this place. This secret base has been fortified by many layers of defenses. Even our scent disappears here, and would throw off many creatures that may be tracking us here." Matthew explained.

But Thane couldn't watch because the TV had detected them.

"...I'mma head out and kill them anyways."

"What?! Why?"

"...For my inner peace. Can you let me out?"

"...It's dangerous out there! Our pursuers might also be among those who are coming here! They will treat this mission with the greatest importance! All the members of the Red Chains will surely be here since you slew Bolgard! But those battle mages won't be able to find this place! So we should stay here for one or two days before leaving!" Matthew explained.

Thane thought for a bit. Thane had a strange feeling that it wouldn't be as simple as what Matthew believed.

"Hmm... Something's telling me that whatever monster reached close to the cave and triggered the Wimp Imp heart wouldn't be a random monster, but Providence from God." Thane thought.

"Providence?" Matthew was confused.

"I met you guys by chance, and it turns out that I met the son of the king... Also... remember what I told you about Seraphina?"

"The princess? You told us she was missing?"

"Actually... I did meet her. And saved her life." Thane confessed.

"What?!"

"It's a long story. I didn't tell you because you might not be trusted. But a Princess and a Prince? Something tells me God is leading me here to do more than just save your skins. In any case..." Thane glanced as his hands turned on the remote.

"Libra, did you already purge all the souls?"

"Yes. But nothing happened so far after it was offered to the temple. But... I feel that several more souls and I would be able to unlock more of my original abilities." Libra answered.

"...I really need to go out there and kill that monster!" Thane's eyes narrowed.

"...Killing intent?" Matthew sensed a murderous power that only powerful cultivators and those who slew hundreds would release through their Power.

"Young Hero Thane, be that as it may-"

"I'll go down by the well so you won't have to break the wall. And when I return, I'll say the password, "Feral Beavers love ripe Aurdian Fruits."

"What? Feral Beavers love ripe Aurdian Fruits?"

"Good! You got it!" Thane stood up and quickly ran towards the well.

Matthew was startled, but before he could react, Thane already threw the lid up high and leapt down!

THUD!

The lid closed down the well and fell into the river.

Thane couldn't even hear Matthew's cry when he splashed down.

"Now... Let's see those enemies that ruined my binge watch!" Thane swam towards the side of the cave leading to their entrance. But it wasn't very long before he saw light!

"Light? Don't tell me that the barbarians are here?" Thane quietly swam down, following the flow of the current.

"There's nothing down here!" A familiar voice cried.

"Hm? That voice!" Thane was amazed. He had just watched hours and hours of that man's shows!

"Edwin Maginstrate!" Thane was amazed.

"I can't sense anything! My device isn't working! Look!" A young, unkempt, and badly bruised man held up a strange orb that had a floating dagger that was spinning around. It looked like a compass of some sort.

"Liar! There was something down here! You sensed it, and I saw where it was pointing! Search for green magic again!"A grunt voice was heard.

"I am! It's not working!"

"Don't tell me you got all soft when you heard who we were looking for? You were awake and heard some of us talking, right?" Another voice questioned.

"What? I don't understand. Aren't we looking for the killer of Bolgard? A powerful green mage who is on the run?" Edwin asked again in confusion.

POW!

A fist struck Edwin and sent him crashing down.

"Then why are you not helping us?!" The man roared again.

Blood began to spill out of Edwin's mouth.

"You weakling! If it wasn't for your little weird inventions that have proven useful, I would have long killed you! Now tell us where those three are!" The man demanded.

"Three...? Heh... I thought we were looking for just one killer." Edwin chuckled as he straightened himself up.

"You know what...? I'm tired. Just kill me. You're right. I heard the fat, smelly one talking about how you are after... the late king's son. The fat, smelly one, and the ugly one, ought to have kept quiet. As you guessed, my dear 'owner', I won't ever help you guys kill that honorable man's son. Long Live King Asa Galvenstern!" Edwin laughed at the three barbarians in front of him.

Edwin smiled as he watched the three men in front of him grow enraged and approach him.

"Edwin Magistrate. Run to the back. I will take care of them."

SPLUSH!

A strange sound of something muffled was heard, and instantly, the barbarian that Edwin called the fat, smelly one stumbled down, face forward.

There was a small axe sticking out of the back of his head, and it was clear that it had penetrated deep into the man's head, causing blood to flow.

Edwin and the other two were dumbstruck at the sight of the man's head.

The man was wearing an iron helm. But the axe somehow penetrated through it!

"Run!" Thane shouted again, and Edwin followed as he ran off.

The two barbarians quickly turned to search for their assailant.

And two daggers were flying towards them!

"Block!" The barbarian commanded.

DING! DIGN!

Both managed to block the attack!
