Chapter 112 — The Sword of Chaos
William passed through the portal feeling only slight discomforts; the sensation was similar to his arrival in this place from the magical world, but on a smaller scale. Due to being transported so many times, his body had already grown accustomed to this type of travel.
Upon entering, he was surprised by the radical change: from a forest overlooking a desolate mine to a majestic hall. The walls were made entirely of marble, and its columns had reliefs that told various stories—wars, conflicts, and even the figure of a moon being torn apart with a great army beneath it. The next mural reflected the combat between these two great armies. These images resembled the story from the book he had read beneath the mansion.
Anubis followed him a second later, carrying the three unconscious humans suspended in the air like broken dolls.
As soon as they crossed, five figures approached from the ends of the hall: tall, imposing women with fierce gazes and athletic bodies. They were a combination of humans and jackals, reminiscent of warrior priestesses from a temple due to their ceremonial tunic-like attire. They had elongated ears, golden eyes, visible fangs, and thick tails that swayed tensely behind them.
"From today, he is your master. You will refer to him as The Supreme. His words are above mine, and any act of disobedience..."
He didn’t finish the sentence, but his gaze was lethal, showing a firm decision that would brook no appeal.
The women immediately knelt without saying a word. Anubis handed them the three unconscious humans, and the jackal women were surprised to see their master carefully carrying three human slaves.
"Take care of them; ensure they lack nothing," he ordered.
Then, he guided William toward a side stone door adorned with multicolored gems. With a wave of his hand, he opened it, and both entered a gigantic study. The study had a desk custom-made for the giant jackal, who stood over two and a half meters tall. Huge bookshelves laden with scrolls and stacks of books, in addition to ancient maps hung on the walls, suggested that Anubis had been searching for something, as the maps had many scratches with comments about his findings.
