Rise of the Inquisition (Arcs 7-9)

Chapter 202: Third Times the Charm

Jingks watched as Evilyne pulls out two curved daggers from her side, and proceeds to throw both at Paladin as she backflipped into the crowd of Legion of Death soldiers behind her. Moments after, Delta blankets the Legion of Death soldiers in a sea of green flames, melting them down into liquid as Paladin leaped through. Knowing already what was about to happen, Jingks quickly grabbed the arm of Archer.

"What are you fucking doing? We need to go save Mordred now!"

"I know that we need to save Mordred, which is exactly why I'm doing this. The two of us cannot chase after Shakespeare together--"

"Wait, what! Are you fucking stupid? We both need to chase after Shakespeare together, so we can fucking kill him dumbass!"

Jingks shook his head.

"You need to chase him by yourself Archer. It'll be better this way since there are certain things that are going to happen here, and it won't be beneficial if the two of us chase after Shakespeare together."

Archer looked back at Jingks with confusion in his eyes. He didn't know why Jingks was telling him they couldn't go after Shakespeare together, but he ended up groaning as he pushed Jingks hand off his arm.

"Fine, fine! If you want to let me fight Shakespeare by myself, I have no fucking problem with it - as long as it's guaranteed that this way allows Mordred to live."

"I guarantee that this method will allow Mordred to live."

Archer nodded his head, he turned his back to Jingks.

"Then I'll meet you on the other side."

"Will do."

As Archer sprinted off to chase after Shakespeare, Jingks sighed. He had to follow the same steps as before, since his goal was to have the same things as before happen again, but this time Delta coming in to help against the Corrupted Phoenix. He turned to Clerius, who held out his left hand at three Legionnaires. His red glowing magic encasing the Legionnaires, absorbing the life out of them. Without even a second of hesitation, Jingks ran over to Clerius, gripping onto his curved swords and cutting down any Legionnaire who got in his way. Until he found himself back to back with Clerius.

"Inquisitor Jingks, I'm a bit surprised to see you here. Aren't you supposed to be chasing after that man Shakespeare? Saving Mordred?"

"This is part of that Clerius--"

"Oh... how so?"

"Clerius, I need some help. I need a very important favor from you, a favor that will end up being world changing."

Clerius narrowed his eyes. Like before, he questioned Jingks - how anything that he could do would be world changing. Unlike Jingks, he didn't know the possible future that waited for them, a future that would have no Mordred due to her again being killed by Shakespeare.

"How so?"

"If we don't stop what is about to happen, then the victor of this battle won't matter. The future that will wait for us all will not be one of hope and happiness, but instead doom and destruction."

"Well Inquisitor Jingks, I trust what you're saying so... How can I help?"

Jingks didn't bother to sigh, he had already expected Clerius to offer his help..

"You're able to detect life in the Evius manor grounds--"

"I am--"

"And you can tell the difference between anyone in the manor grounds--"

"Depends. I am able to tell who is who by their magicka. Everyone in this world has different levels of magicka, so if I recognize the magicka of someone from before, then I can come to an assumption of who that person is."
