The Maserak Temple

332

"Many of the scrolls that I need from House Kurayami frequent the cold planes. If I am to master my Houses magic I have to obtain the scrolls that were stolen from them."

He would raise to his feet as he had his arms to his back, being the more serious type of individual now while looking over his shoulder at his partner.

"The spell from the scroll is known as Shítou kǒngjù. It allows one to freeze their enemy with fear and their bodies feeling like they are encase in a stone statue. This spell would take time for me to even master it much less learn it. They say that House Kurayami back in the days had used this spell in order to put him the strongest villains in Hell in their place. The simple fear of not being able to move and increasing one's anxiety. That in itself is scary."

As they ventured forward, the temple wasn't far off from where they stood and monks were nearby and could easily spot them a mile away. With one poof, a hat had appeared on Kowlin's head and with one simple grab and tossing it like a frisbee, he would vanish from his current spot and landing right on the hand and using it as a gliding mechanism as he rushed straight to the first monk that was in front of him. He would jump off the hat and perform a front flip over the monk as the hat quickly chopping the head off of the monk as its sharp edges were installed with metal blades and not the common fabric that top hats usually have inside of them. He landed right behind the dead monk and catching the hat just in time and placing it back on his head.

He'd look to the two monks that were in front of him and who were far away from the temple.

"You two should have not wandered off the pack."

Lord Mori's gem stones and his current display of the gravity gem stone against these two monks were more than enough to show how strong he was. The fact that he is able to do all these without lifting a finger was truly remarkable. As he looked ahead, he headed straight for the temple but as much as he tried to run and even fly at the thing, it looked like he wasn't reaching any much closer to the temple at all. He had now squinted his eyes as he looked at Lord Mori as he scratched the back of his head.


"Kind of odd how it doesn't appear like we are getting closer to the temple."

About that time, ten monks had appeared from the trees and each of them were ready to fight with their own weapon of choice in their hand.

"It looks like they used an illusionary spell on us to make us believe we were getting closer."

Kowlin had chuckled and shook his head at the clever deceiving on their part. About that time, Kowlin was quick to form his staff in hand and bang it against the ground with the butt of his staff. The ground began to shake violently and roots from nearby trees started to come out of the ground from underneath three of the monks and binding their legs together and dropping them to the ground immediately. As the vines grew more and more, their bodies were encased and slowly suffocating and the more they struggled the tighter it got.

"Seems like we will be here for a while.."

About that time, Kowlin stood beside his Lord and held his staff in his left hand as his right hand rested on Lord Mori's shoulder.

"Shield your eyes my Lord."

The staff began to shine out a bright light, attacking the eyes of the remaining monks in the process. About this time, another spell was casted while their eyes were blinded in the process. Coming from the skies themselves, fireballs came at an alarming rate and began to burn the monks in the process and avoiding them two entirely due to them being away from the monks while this was being done. The white light had faded and the remaining monks now laid on the ground and burning to a crisp.

"All has been taken cared of."

Now he had traveled right in front of the temple and from the looks of it, it was indeed abandoned. He looked over his shoulder as he opened the door to the place.

"They say that this temple in particular has the ice golem guarding Maserak Temple. So be prepared my Lord."

As the doors open, the scroll could be seen as clear as day floating at the center of the temple. But just like in any video game logic, the final boss had appeared just in the nic of time. The ice golem appeared before them and "consumed" the scroll in the process as its big and gigantic body looked down at the two puny ants.

"Looks like it won't be easy huh."

"Allow me, Flamel."

The entire ground started to shake, not from the creature but from the power that Kowlin was generating in to his staff alone. The rock pieces chipping away from the temple, started to raise to the sky like no limit. A dark matter orb started to form with a white outlining and a purple/black interior of energy forming to the size of a baseball. Finally, it grew to the size of a basketball and then volleyball. It eventually became so massive that it rivaled that of the giant golem.

Hurling the massive orb straight towards the golem, started to shake the Heavens and Earth. As it collided with the golem head on. The orb itself started to shine brightly in their direction as Kowlin simply looked to Flamel in order to shield his eyes from the light.

"Wearing shades would be appropriate at this time."

He spawned in a set of shades as Kowlin placed them on and stared into the abyss orb. Finally.... the massive explosion took place. The heavy winds blew against them and the sound of the creature screaming back at them could be heard as clear as day. As the smoke settled, the creature was still alive and immediately sent a barrage of icicles straight at Kowlin, who immediately placed a dark matter barrier in front of the both of them.

"Looks like it won't be that easy."

The pillar had immediately smashed into the golem, which had collided it against its body as it proceeded to now impact the ground behind it. More shaking had occur and now Kowlin had made his way in front of the golem and now standing on its torso as he proceeded to aim his right hand towards the golem's entire body.


"Don't ever dream of resurrecting again..."

With that, he fired an immensely massive amount of dark matter so powerful that it made the entire ground around the creature immediately turning it into an abyss hole in the process as the power was so great that the creature fell into its doom. The smoke raised and Kowlin still hovered over the crater as he floated over to Flamel.

"We won't have to worry about him anymore."

A loud screech had occurred and finally, the golem hand had came out of the ground in an attempt to grab a hold of Kowlin and rocket him straight outside of the temple walls as his back touched the wall and shattered it completely. He now laid outside of the temple and laying in a pile of snow as he was too injured and drained out to move right now...

Full power

0/6 Kp

and using max transformation.

"This troublesome event... all for a scroll...oh well."

Brushing straight from the ground and after the hammer assault that Flamel had delivered. The golem's entire torso started to crack, so much so that its entire body also started to further the cracks even faster than before. Before the golem could realize what was happening, Kowlin had showed up right behind the golem and immediately placing a symbol upon the golem's back and immediately using his entire transformation and his power, in order to erase this golem from existence. The symbol had been placed and its entire body going up in flames in a matter of seconds. As strong as this golem was, these black flames were no joke and the level of power was truly out of this world for the golem.

The golem being not only severely injured by Flamel's attack, but utterly destroyed by the combined effort from Kowlin as well. The golem had turned to turn but ashes and the scroll in which they had came to get, was now laying at the center of the temple not even showing any damage at all due to its material. Kowlin had grabbed it and read the scroll itself. Learning the spell from within and placing it back in his backpack. As it looked like there adventure was over, a King had rushed over who was hiding behind a bush just outside of the temple and having witness the events unfold!

This jolly King with a heavy mustache and beard, came running over to the both of them with his short stocky self and greet Kowlin and then Flamel.

"HEROS I SAY, HEROS! You two have saved my Kingdom from these evil monks! Please please, come with me to my Kingdom. A feast you both shall enjoy to your hearts content! Please please!"
