Chapter—10 Digging Up A Grave
“Just, for a little while, let me see her for a little longer” Ishaan was sitting next to Anushka bed, he was adoring her beautiful face while she was lost in her sleep. Looking at her made a smile come to his face, Ishaan was showing a gentle expression, and his eyes were full of peace.
“No, I can’t, firstly, we need to do shopping for you and then we even need to meet with dragon, and then a lot more.”—Gracel completely rejected his request, without showing any mercy on Ishaan, she gave a simple answer ‘No’.
“Ok ok, I’m leaving.”—Ishaan
Ishaan left the seat and moved out of the room along with Gracel, they were both walking through the corridor when Gracel started asking some surprising questions from ishaan.
“How, is that girl related to you, is she your sister or anything?”—Gracel
And the first thing which ishaan did was to look at gracel with the most creepy face he could ever make and his thoughts were like ‘Dude seriously, sister, get a clue her auntie.’ But he couldn’t talk to her like this, if she got even a little bit pissed she could kill him in an instant, so keeping his voice down and faking a smile, he said calmly in a serious tone “No, she is not someone who is related to me by blood.”
“You boys, these day a girl show little affection and you go rolling out your tongue for them.”—Gracel
“I guess, you are single. Aren’t you?”—Ishaan
“Yes, I am, why any problem there?”—Gracel
“Nothing, but it explains a lot.”—Ishaan
“Listen boy, the reason why I’m alone is quite simple, if I can destroy my life on my own, then why I need someone else to do that.”—Gracel
“Quite a motivating that one was.”—Ishaan
“Huh… where the hell this corridor ends.”—Gracel
“Why tired already.”—Ishaan
“You know kid, you are annoying, but that makes both of us quite similar as well.”—Gracel
“Gracel, why do you wear that, whenever you are on a mission, but not in public?”—Ishaan
“To hide my identity, obviously.”—Gracel
“Not, that why aren’t you wearing your mask right now?”—Ishaan
“I don’t need to hide my face in this city, it’s safe in here, at top of that I don’t live here, so no one is going to come here to get me. Ahh… finally it ends.”—Gracel moves at a little faster pace as she sees the end of the corridor, leaving behind ishaan, she moves out in a hurry and do some stretching exercise there.
Ishaan couldn’t understand that why she was in such a hurry to escape out of the corridor, mean it is practically the same building. What could be the difference there be?
Ishaan walked out of the corridor and felt nothing, nothing changed at all, he was feeling the same as he felling while walking the corridor. This made him a little confused ‘Wasn’t I supposed to feel better as well after leaving that corridor.’
“Hey gracel, what’s with this sudden change of pace?”—Ishaan
“Don’t you feel recharged after coming out of there, my magic is being revived completely.”—Gracel
“Your magic revived.”—Ishaan
“Yeah, it did, that entire place was covered with lacramia which absorbs magic power, it is quite costly setup.”—gracel
“But, I don’t feel any different.”—Ishaan
“Guess you won’t, you weren’t born with magic, so you don’t feel any different, but when you are used to it, it would feel a lot different, even Rayleigh and Dragon both feel uncomfortable, though only a fraction of their power is cut down.”—Gracel

“So, such thing also exist.”—Ishaan
“Yes, they do, at top of that they are even used to create weaponry, those weapons are a piece of work themselves and a big pain in the ass.”—Gracel
“You, sure talk vulgarly with a younger male.”—Ishaan
“So, any problem there?”—Gracel
“No.”—Ishaan
“No, then grab my hand.”—Gracel move her right hand forward, for ishaan to grab.
“Why?”—Ishaan
“Just do it, you need to know a little about limits of magic.”—Gracel
Ishaan, slowly and reluctantly moves his hand and finally grab on to her hand, as he touched her hand he felt some power transferring into him, a violent steam of magic passed through his body for a flash, and everything turned blank for a moment, when he got a hold of himself, he found himself in an entirely different location with Gracel, while he was still holding her hand, he saw that the place where both of them were standing was entirely different, it was not a big building made up of concrete but a beautiful grassland, filled with life in it.
Ishaan was looking at the scene like a dumb person with his mouth wide open, he couldn’t believe on his eyes, that he got teleported to a place as beautiful as this. The cold breeze sings a melody for him, the greenery blesses his eyes, and the wildlife here was welcoming here.
“Guess you got pretty much surprised?”—Gracel
“Where the hell we are? No more importantly how we got here?”—Ishaan
“I teleported us here. This is my specialty. I can not only move at unimaginable speed but also can teleport.”—Gracel
As the word teleportation came in between the lines, Ishaan face started glowing with a smile, which forced gracel to ask him the reason for his smile.
“What’s with the devil smile?”—Gracel
“Nothing, just thinking, how strong I will become after grasping this power.”—Ishaan
“Then, good luck with that, because it is one of the hardest form of magic.”—Gracel
“Well, I thought we were going for shopping”—Ishaan
When Ishaan mentioned that they need to go to shopping, Gracel eyes popped out, her face clearly showed that she had forgotten about shopping and the reason she was with Ishaan.
“Oh, crap I totally forgot about that, and we need to meet with dragon at 6PM sharp.” Gracel dashed towards Ishaan in a hurry, she grabbed his hand and took to him for shopping.
A woman taking a man for shopping, is no different from a man accompanying a woman on her shopping, Ishaan was dragged in whole district along with Gracel till the 5PM in evening, while gracel did all the shopping and stuff, Ishaan simply saw her from a distance and in the meantime he picked up a thing or two for himself, he came to know that the country here use Dollars as their currency, which is equivalent to USD itself, the symbol and cost of goods is also the same as in his world, as well the brands.
Due to gold trade across dimension these standards were taken. The famous brands from his world were all present here, Puma, Nike, LG, Samsung all were brought to this world.
Ishaan and Gracel were sitting on a café after finishing their shopping, they were enjoying their cup of Latte when ishaan raised a question.
“Hey, Gracel I want to ask you a question.”—Ishaan
“Go ahead.”—Gracel
“Who is this dragon you keep on talking about.”—Ishaan
“So, you don’t know about him?”—Gracel
“Not at all.”—Ishaan
“He is the strongest warrior mage, his full name is Silverous K Dragon.”—Gracel
Advertisement
“Strongest, then tell me about God Nox.”—Ishaan
“SO, you have heard his name as well. Fine he is the most powerful human mage who received the title of a War God.”—Gracel
“Now tell me, how can two people be strongest?”—Ishaan
“Yes there are not two strongest, one is most powerful and one is strongest, there is a slight difference between them, by power it means both magical and political powers, God Nox possess the strongest magic as well have a great political influence being a god, but Silverous who has slightly less magical powers is a great warrior and master of many fighting techniques, in this world only one who can challenge God nox and Silverous are they themselves.”—Gracel
“So, he is really that strong?”—Ishaan
“Yes, he is, he is commander of our revolutionary army and being the commander he needs to be far stronger than anyone else.”—Ishaan
Ishaan was stunned for a moment, a memory flashed for an instant, in which he remembered Rayleigh fighting against Drazen,
he remembered how strong those two were, their power was exceptional, the way they both fought was unimaginable, their power, their speed, their techniques and now she is telling that there is a man whose power goes even beyond them, not only that they both are not even a match for him, in what dimension does a man like him actually exist. Silverous K Dragon, the name which is Ishaan could never forget.
“I think, I don’t even know about your organization, can you tell me something about it?”—Gracel
“Just keep this thing in mind, according to laws of many countries we are the biggest criminal organization there is, rest is none of your business, you will only train with me for some time then, you will leave and start a new life.”—Gracel
“I didn’t knew about that.”—Ishaan
“Yes, because I didn’t told you, now get moving we need to go and meet up with dragon as well.”—Gracel
‘I don’t even know where I’m going anymore, I’m simply walking on any road which comes ahead of me without thinking even for a bit, all I know is that the people I’m with right now, will lead me somewhere, somewhere safe and good.’ Ishaan thought as he was waiting along with gracel.
There was still sometime in 6PM, the time when Silverous K Dragon, the strongest human will show his sight, ishaan was dying to see him, with his own eyes, that man who reached far beyond Ishaan’s imagination, while waiting in his own office room, a modern day room, with glass windows panel, maple wood floor, and proper lighting.
The door of the room slowly opened, the sound which the door made, forced ishaan to look towards it, he saw a woman entering the room, at first sight she looked simple, quiet and sober, her snow like skin was plane white, and she flipped her red hair when they covered her deep blue eyes.
This woman was one of the most adorable person, whom Ishaan have ever seen in his life.
She entered the room and wished gracel “It’s been really long since your last visit here gracel, how are you doing?” Her voice was like a melody sung by heavens, her voice was the sweetest voice Ishaan ever heard.
“I’m fine Clare, tell me about you?”—Gracel
“I’m doing fine myself.”—The beautiful woman named Clare replied in a humble and polite way.
“Clare meet him, he is the boy from the Inferia, and his magic power is incredible considering his magic age being just a month and Ishaan she is Clare Silverous Dragon, she is wife of Silverous K Dragon.”—Gracel
‘So she is that man’s wife, she is beautiful no doubt about that, man I’m jealous.’ Ishaan thought in his mind.
“It’s nice to meet you.”—Clare to Ishaan
“Same here.”—Ishaan
“Are you waiting for that my stupid husband to arrive?”—Clare
“Sure, we are waiting for your stupid husband.”—Gracel replied while giggling
‘Wait a minute she is saying his husband is stupid, even after being that hell of strong, what kind of man is he.’ Ishaan thought started to change while he was listening to chit chat between these women.
“The traitor to Euphoria, that’s the name which they call your husband, right?”—Gracel
The endless conversation between the Gracel and Clare was continuing when gracel uttered a phrase which attracted the Ishaan attention, both of them were talking about their old times, when gracel called Silverous “Traitor to Euphoria”, this doesn’t make any sense to ishaan, so he asked Clare about that.
“Why is he called ‘Traitor of Euphoria.’?”—Ishaan
“The reason is quite simple, because he is the man who ones served the gods and now is against them.”—Clare
“Clare don’t give too many details on that.”—Gracel
“What do you mean by gods, there is only one god right God Nox.”—Ishaan
“No, there are several, god is a title which is inherited as a dynastic succession, sons of gods are gods, so there are thousands of god, while god nox is an exception, he earned that title with his deeds and power, he is a war god or often referred as Current God.”—Clare
“So, again why the traitor?”—Ishaan
“Silverous is commander of revolutionary army, we fight against unjust rule of supreme power which are making life of people miserable day by day and the one who are the cruelest are the gods themselves, they have been living under light of good deeds of their ancestors and spreading their shadows, they are served by humans and they feed on human lives.”—Clare
“Clare stop it.”—Gracel
“Oh, sorry I told him nearly everything.”—Clare
“He is good at playing mental games, but Clare if I remember correct you are a great tactician yourself, so don’t act innocent.”—Gracel
“Sorry, I just thought that he should know about us before joining us. The thing which you will never do.”—Clare
“Yo, everyone how are you?” when both of the woman were having a small fight among them a man entered the room, without anyone realizing it, he moved across the room and sat on the chair for the boss.
“Silverous, when did you came?”—Gracel
“Simple, when you both were busy fighting, I simply moved through here.”—Silverous K Dragon is here.
The commander of revolutionary army, the man known as the strongest human, and his personality goes just as his image, he looks really fierce but calm at the same time, tall, muscular and has a great personality, the smile which he keeps on his face is quite intriguing, it can make enemies shit in their pants just by looking at this man dazzling brown eyes, which have never feared nor will fear anyone in his entire life.
Black hair, which covers his forehead are long and silky, just with a small breeze of wind and the hair start dancing all over, but the most genuine thing about this man is aura around him, the aura surrounding this man was something which no one else could emit.
Ishaan was faintly smiling while looking this man sitting like a boss on his chair, with his eyes having a glow in them.
“Dragon, he is the boy from Inferia, I was talking about, the other day.”—Gracel while referring to Ishaan.
“So, he is the one, I can feel it, the power the boy has, it’s not a sharp blade but is the finest quality of material. Boy tell me your name?”—Silverous K Dragon
“My name is Ishaan Purohit.”—Ishaan
“So, Ishaan, let me tell you I’m also an overlord, you know what it means right?”—Silverous
“Yes. I know, but I don’t care there was an overlord who tried to kill me and my entire family, but it was due to some other overlords that they are safe now.”—Ishaan
“Ok, but revolutionary army, is one of the biggest criminal association, we slay gods, don’t you see it as a taboo, and doesn’t it make you feel uncomfortable.”—Silverous
“The real god is immortal, he cannot be killed, and the one who could be slayed are just some cheap people try to intimate the almighty and abuse his power, they just need to die.”—Ishaan
Upon listening to Ishaan’s interesting reply Silverous started laughing like crazy, he never expected the answers which Ishaan gave to him, whenever he asked people these questions they just left the conversation, standing clueless without uttering a single from their mouth, but Ishaan was different.
“You are interesting boy, you know I like you, but do you really trust me? This is the question whose answer I want to hear the most. Do you trust me on your life?”—Silverous
“Can’t say, I just met you, but if you fulfill one of my request then, I could say for sure.”—Ishaan
“What request?”—Silverous
“It’s more like a debt to be repaid, than a request.”—Ishaan
Choose wisely what you say, it can affect your whole life, is an old saying and it can be seen how true it can be, could be easily told after the condition in which Ishaan has reached, it is already past mid-night and ishaan is standing in a graveyard all alone with a shovel in his hand.
Though people die to come to come here, but doesn’t make this place sound any better, walking through a graveyard in mid-night all alone, searching for a grave could be one of the most stupidest task ever could be.
Ishaan asked Silverous and all other to stay outside and wait for his call, while he is done with his work.
Ishaan stood in front of a grave and joined both his hand as he prayed to his gods, because the thing he was going to do now is a great sine. He picked shovel and started digging the grave which was lying in front of him, he knew it was wrong, this was a great sin but still he needed to do it, to repay his debt.
This task he wasn’t performing on his own accord but was doing because the blaze emperor asked him to do so, that man who rules over the flames asked him to go to the city of Vantis in country Scorpio and dig out a coffin, coffin of a man deep buried into the ground.
So he did it, to repay the debt, to repay the debt of saving his family from the dying, for releasing his family from the thick layer of ice, he did it.
He dug the grave and took out the coffin within it, and all the sins he bared in the time he requested for, Silverous, Clare and Gracel found him, Ishaan asked them to give him some time to finish with the work and then come to him on their own accord.
They were all staring at Ishaan who just uttered a grave sin, disturbing a dead while he is resting in the peace.
“What is meaning of this?”—Gracel shouted at Ishaan
To the response against this question, Ishaan moved his arms across the coffin and opened it, to show them what lies inside it, the coffin opened and so does the eyes of everyone.
They all saw what lies within the coffin, a coffin filled with stones and many secrets.
The coffin was hidden deep within the earth, not with a body but with a lots of secrets in it.
Hiding under the tombstone named “Johnmar Dragneel.”
