Chapter 14 - Awaking Lord

A Doctor checked Joseph's eyes with a small light, working calmly.

"He is fine, no injury in his body. This often happens to students due to studying late at night. After his parents came, he could go home," the doctor tells them.

Joseph lies on the hospital bed. Several anxious students and Miss Lara are gathered around him. They are all clearly worried.

"Okay, students, please go now and give him some quiet time to rest," Lara instructs them gently.

Arthur enters the room, his movements tight with tension.

"Joseph, are you truly okay?" Arthur asks him, his voice serious.

"I'm fine now, but I genuinely don't know what happened to me," Joseph replies, sitting up.

"I will call your sister and brother," Arthur tells him.

"Oh! Doctor, do you know him?" Miss Lara asks Arthur, surprised by his familiarity.

"Yes, his elder brother is a good friend of mine," Arthur replies.

"Can you inform them about Joseph's condition?" Miss Lara requests, relieved.

"I already informed them. They will be here soon," Arthur confirms.

"D-don't tell them anything of this," he insists. 

"Okay, okay, okay, take rest," Arthur says.

Arthur and Miss Lara go out of the room. After some time, nurse Freya enters the room.

"Oh, Joseph, how are you? I heard that you became unconscious in the school library." Freya asks Joseph.

"I am fine, but is Anni safe now?" Joseph questions.

"Yes, all because of your brother and sister, they are so like you," Freya replies.

A sense of relief came to his mind. "Oh..., thank god"

"Hey, Joseph, does your brother ever talk about me?" Freya asks Joseph.

"Never, but sister sometimes says your name to annoy brother Johan," Joseph tells her.

Freya starts laughing loudly. "I guess they are still the same, especially Johan," Freya says with laughter.

Suddenly, Jennifer rushes into the room. Seeing him safe and well brings immediate peace to her mind, but her tears do not stop. She hugs him tightly and starts crying loudly.

Johan also comes there, his expression instantly concerned.

"What happened to you?" Johan asks him, rushing to his side.

"I don't know what happened to me at that time. I was at the library, and then I was suddenly here. I felt like I would never see you again. " Joseph replies emotionally.

"Can we take him home?" Johan asks Freya.

"Yes," Freya replies with a gentle smile.

After a long time, they arrive outside the hospital campus. The street is full of people at that time.

"What happened to you? Couldn't you sleep last night?" Johan asks Joseph, looking closely at him.

"No, But…" Joseph replies, hesitating.

Johan finds suspicion in his face. "Are you hiding something from us?"

"N-no, what do I hide from you?" Joseph looks back, trying to appear innocent.

Suddenly, a mana ball appears in front of Joseph. Before he alerts them, the surrounding transforms into a medieval royal castle. A suspicious man appears in front of him.

Joseph is shocks, he is looking at his surroundings, the dimension looks unknown and known at the same time.

"My lord, I found the boy who attacked you. Tell us what we will do with him," one of the men demands. 

Joseph looks at him. The man possessed a boy.

The boy was seriously injured. His body looks injured, with scars in everywherer over his body. His body hovers in mid-air. His limbs are attached with many threads like a puppet doll. Blood comes from his mouth.

Joseph finds that the injured boy is Theo.

"Hey,leave him. He just misunderstood me as the lord." Joseph looked at him in surprise.

"I am not the lord. I am Joseph Bennet," Joseph loudly says.

"Oooh, he can't be."

The man takes a huge breath, and mana absorbs into his body. Dark tentacles sprout from him. One tentacle attacks Joseph with blinding speed.

Suddenly, Jennifer comes with rage and blocks that with her dagger.

Shing!

"Tilespar!" Johan teleports himself and Jennifer simultaneously. Johan uses his dark form spell on the tentacle. The tentacle starts to dissolve instantly.

Jennifer reappears behind the aggressive man. She throws one of her daggers at him. The dagger creates no effect on him, but it creates a critical distraction. Johan uses his teleportation again and takes Theo away.

Johan takes him far from the attack range. Joseph rushes toward them, deeply worried.

"Is he okay?" Joseph asks him.

"Not so," Johan replies, grimly. "Jennifer, this boy is already dead. We have to act fast."

Jennifer attacks more aggressively, using her momentum to press the advantage against the man. 

Johan looks back and sees Joseph is gone.

Joseph rushes towards the man, his eyes burning with an intense, golden light. A sword materialises in his hand—it is made of pure light, and the blade shines like a fragment of the sun. A huge amount of overwhelming aura, thick and radiant, bursts from his body, crackling with energy. Joseph screams as he jumps forward, moving with impossible speed, and slashes the light-sword down. The blade cuts the man in half, silencing the threat instantly.

Johan uses his teleportation power once more and snatches Joseph, pulling him back from the carnage.

Jennifer is now kneeling beside Theo, urgently attempting to heal him. "Rizas, cure him," Jennifer casts her healing spell on Theo. Black roots, infused with soft, green light, spread across his scars, visibly healing his injuries. Theo slowly opens his eyes.

"We take him to the hospital, and you go home," Johan says to him. The dimension dissolves. Johan teleports Joseph home, and they teleport to the hospital.

Joseph finds himself in his room. He feels like he woke up from a dream. But he remembers everything that just happened.

He sees his reality, his powers. Joseph feels a new awakening inside himself. He has finally discovered a method to safeguard the world, to quell the existing chaos, and to alleviate the centuries-long suffering endured by humanity.

On the half-dissolved dimension, an unknown person comes into the place. She finds some crystals in the place. She takes them in her hand. Then she raises her hands and says, "Our Lord is awakened"
