My Mage System (BL)-Chapter 301: *You’re home now*

This prison dimension was really convenient; at the moment, it was not used as a prison but rather as a meeting point. All the Warrior Spirits under his command had access to it, and Mykael, Lucas, and Colin were rare exceptions who also had access to this dimension, so no matter where they were, they could all meet here.

Caleb was the first to react, and he whispered after kneeling next to the demon to check on his condition, "That’s impossible; he died 17 years ago. I saw his body..."

But the fact that Connor kept calling Derek even when he was unconscious was irrefutable proof that this demon was indeed him.

Elias sighed with relief and asked him, "Just tell me that this Derek is still alive, so I can give that good news to Miguel."

Caleb nodded and put Connor over his shoulder before saying to Elias, "Connor was the leader of the demon rebellion against their despot king, who we’re pretty sure now is a Titan."

Mykael then asked Elias, "Where did you find him?"

Elias told him what Miguel had told him, and when he described the building in which Miguel and his men had found them, Mykael said to him, "There was the same kind of prison in Cassandra’s domain. You can go take a look if you want."

Elias nodded, and he said, looking more specifically at Caleb, "Your brothers had a vision together, and two cell numbers appeared to them; one was Connor and the other was that werewolf."

He then pointed to the werewolf, and Mykael, in turn, widened his eyes as he too said, "impossible."

Elias raised an eyebrow, surprised, and asked him, dumbfounded, "Don’t tell me you know him?"

Mykael shook his head and said to him, "I don’t know him personally, but the tattoo he has on his left shoulder is the same tattoo that Axel’s mother also had in the same place. It can’t be a coincidence... Do you mind if I take him with me?"

Elias agreed, and then he said to both of them, "Look, whether it’s Connor or this werewolf, both of them will probably have a big role to play in the upcoming war. Try to find out what kind of role they might have. Lilith has an army of tens of thousands of demons and thousands of other legendary creatures just waiting for her command to invade worlds, and I’m not even talking about the Titans... They must never get their hands on the Acrium. As soon as you have a serious lead, contact me immediately."

Caleb and Mykael nodded, and Elias said to them before disappearing, "Ask Colin to check their condition tomorrow; we can’t afford to lose them."

When Elias disappeared, Caleb asked Mykael, "Can you take me to Derek? I don’t think there will be any better medicine for Connor... I can’t believe he keeps calling him when he’s still unconscious." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Mykael nodded and said to him, "I’ll leave you to deal with Connor, and I’ll deal with this werewolf. If he really is part of the same pack as Axel’s mother, then it’s my duty to help him."

Caleb nodded, and once Mykael put that werewolf over his shoulder too, he put his hand on Caleb’s free shoulder, and before he teleported them to Derek, he said to him, "Tell him to go to his room; I think he’ll want to be alone with him for a while."

Caleb nodded, and when Mykael didn’t sense any more presence around Derek, he teleported them at once.

He saw the surprise in Derek’s eyes and said to them before teleporting to Axel and Kevin, "I’ll send Colin over tomorrow to check on him, but he has been treated by the best mage in this universe, so he probably just needs some rest now."

Derek was like frozen in place because he would have recognized this man’s body under any circumstances, and even though Caleb had thrown him over his shoulder and he couldn’t see his face, he couldn’t help but whisper, his heart beating wildly in his chest, "Connor..."

Caleb smiled at him and gently placed Connor on the bed because they were indeed in Derek’s room. When Derek heard him whisper his name, tears began to roll down his cheeks, and Caleb put a hand on his shoulder and said to him, "Derek, it’s really him. You have my word; the men of the God of War found him in a prison in the world ruled by the Titans... Look, there’s no good way to tell you this, but Connor has been tortured all these years, so I don’t know what his mental state will be when he wakes up. All I know is that it’s you he wants to see when he wakes up."

He added before opening a teleportation portal and leaving them alone, "The fact that Connor is alive must be kept a secret. You can tell the boys, but no one else; not right now, it’s too risky... Do you understand?"

Derek nodded, and Caleb said to him before walking through the portal, "Let me know if you need anything."

Derek quickly wiped the tears from his face and went to kneel beside Connor. Connor was unrecognizable, and he didn’t know what to do to help him. He was paler and thinner than before, and his beautiful short black hair that was always messy was now long and curly... But it was really him.

He kept whispering his name and moving his head from side to side; his body was in spasms, and he looked very weak. And as he had to try something, he took his hand and kissed it, saying to him, "Connor, my love, I’m here... I’m here; you’re home now."

He kissed his palm and said again, "You are safe now; I will never let anyone hurt you again."

He saw that the sound of his voice seemed to soothe him, so he contacted Solomon via the communication stones and told him to finish the arrangements for the duel without him and that he would see them tomorrow.

Once he was sure they wouldn’t be disturbed, he quickly undressed, keeping only his underwear on, and did the same with Connor. His hands were shaking as he undressed him, but when he inspected his body, he didn’t notice anything unusual.

Mykael had assured him that he had been healed by the most powerful mage in existence, and he had to admit that his body didn’t seem to have any marks from the torture he had suffered.

He decided to clean his body with a damp towel, and once he was done, he lay down next to him and wrapped a blanket around them. He then took him in his arms and continued to tell him how much he had missed him and how much he loved him.
