When Shiya reached that town, everything were in a big mess, the whole land was literally 'dead' with all the plants withered, the land dried up and animal's corpse can be seen all over the place and Hoshe had been tied up to a pole surrounded by hay, it seems like the people in the town planned to burn him alive. Shiya stared at his son with sad and reprimanding eyes, he wondered what had this young man done to cause such a disaster, but as soon as he sensed that familiar yet different trace of magic, he realised that his beloved son had did an unforgivable mistake.
Hoshe was trying to replicate a forbidden technique that was once done by the ancient god that his father once served for. It's a technique that will completely changed the body structure of a subject, thus forcibly giving new life to someone who was destined to die. Since this technique is seriously meddling with the nature, a smallest mistake could break the balance of nature and thus affect the life force around the area involved.
Still unaware of the seriousness of this matter, Hoshe reassured his father that he will be able find a solution to fix this situation and will not maim his father's good will. Shiya sighed without saying anything, he turned away from that insolent son of him before putting him to sleep while giving his final will to his younger son through telepathy...

"Shortly after I received that will from my late father, my brain suddenly filled with parts of his memories fragments, and by that time, I know that he had gone... forever. No one had the big heart to tell me about it, but I somehow know it. Hoshe starts hiding away from me after that, which might seem like he is unsatisfied that I get to inherit everything from my late father, but in fact, it's not. I realise that he is somewhat related to my father's death, whether directly or indirectly, he is one of the reasons leading to my father's death." said Ben, a bit emotionless despite the fact he is talking about some really sorrowful things.
"You mean he died after fixing the trouble caused by Dr. Hoshe? Or did anything else happened?" Junior asked again, he realised that it's a bit inappropriate, but his curiosity had gotten over it. "Well, none of them willing to tell me in detail but I do know that Chris almost kill Hoshe." said Ben while taking off his glasses and covering himself in blanket, preparing to go to sleep, ending this conversation by force.
At the same time, Jason's room.
"When I regained my consciousness, the town people told me that Lord Shiya is dying, I was in shock and rushed towards the place the people told me where Lord Shiya was. But before I could see him, I was stopped by Sky and Chris, they told me that Lord Shiya doesn't want to see my face anymore, I even get beaten up by Chris so badly that he almost kill me... I should had noticed that his health had been deteriorating and was at the worst condition that time. It's my arrogance and insolent that killed him, I don't even deserve to be his pupil, not to say his adopted son. I don't even have the courage to face Ben, he must be hating me so much..." said Hoshe, rather sorrow. Jason patted Hoshe's shoulder without saying anything...

Time interval dimension. Sal and Athena are staring at a deformed area filled with zigzagging vortex, behind them is a group of three people that been tied up with shadow chain.
"This should be the last one. After we fixed this, let's meet up with Terence in Null Dimension's Seoul." said Sal. "Mmm... And we still need to report what we found in the Afterworld, I don't think that Baka Xenoo could report everything in detail." said Athena. Sal nodded.

Seoul, 1pm. Dark Prince had met up with Chris and is currently having some discussions.
"I believe we can focus on repairing the dimensional link here as soon as Sal and Athena fixed the damage at their side." said Chris. "Yes, indeed. But do you have any idea on how we should fix that huge crack in the sky?" Dark Prince asked. "Well... Actually I do figured out something, might be a bit risky but worth of trying." said Chris, rather serious. "I am willing to help out for anything that you might need from me." said Dark Prince. Chris did not say anything but frowned...

Kapis Dimension. Secret base. 4 am.
Seito is awakened by some noises, as he opened his eyes, he saw his cousin Itsuki sitting on his own bed staring at a piece of octagonal star shaped gem with a rather confused look.
"Itsu, what's that? I saw Sky gave it to you yesterday, but I haven't got the chance to ask you about it." said Seito. "Sky said it's a precious gem given by the prophet in that underground space, and he felt that it might be useful for me. But in fact even he doesn't know what is this." said Itsuki. "Ah... That person is really hard to predict and understand... So, had you figured out what is this yet? Just asking." said Seito. "Well, not really, but I somewhat felt a weird familiarity from it as I stared into it and it seems like reacting to my magic as well." said Itsuki as he continues to stared at that gem.
