Chapter 4: The Battle

Skulduggery, Gordon, Ghastly and Grimly walked to the Sanctuary to find Thurid Guild, but the Sanctuary was destroyed. It was set on fire and looked like a flood and a tornado hit. "Nobody can do this much damage, not anybody I have heard of." Grimly said with a worried look in his eyes.

"Looks like an Elemental," Skulduggery theorized, "but there's lots of damage."

"The only elemental of such power is... Mevolent." Ghastly suggested

"He's back. I can feel him." Grimly said. A mysterious figure rose from the ruins, he had greying hair and wore a black and red cloak. Mevolent. He hovered in the air and his hand become flamethrowers and burnt Grimly. His skin turned black and then he turned to ash, Skulduggery ran to Mevolent, he grabbed Mevolent and he appeared in a different dimension.

It was just Skulduggery and Mevolent, in a ruined town. Dark beasts sprinted across the town, Skulduggery threw a fireball but it didn't harm him.

"You can't defeat me!" he chuckled, and he flew away. Skulduggery was stuck in the town with no way out...
