PERFORMED IN BEHALF OF OLD CITY OF SHANGHAI” and knew at once it was for attacking intruders
and driving them out of Old Shanghai or actually attacking another place. He kept reading, fast, knowing that his
grandpa might come in at any second. He read out loudly “ATTACURSE, spell for attack. Cast this spell on
anything and it will explode it to dust. HUMANS ARE IMMUNE TO IT” He took a big breath and continued
“You must say “Nortacktius” to cast the spell among an item that has no life in order to turn it to dust. Must have
stone to cast spell.” “W-Wow!” Skylar mumbled and heard a loud bang and saw his Grandpa.
Syrus stormed in shouting
“Knew it! You sneaked in to read the spell books! Not Comics!”
“N-N-No, I saw it in the shelf where the comics are supposed to be,” Skylar stammered, looking for

“Yeah Sure! Give me the stone and I will put it back on the wall!” Syrus snapped.
“Wha? I thought I was the successor!” Skylar said confused.
“NO! The stone has to be rested 5 years before the successor gets to use it! I had to wait 5 years until the
stone worked!” Syrus shouted.
“O-O-Okay, fine” Skylar replied grudgingly. He handed over the stone and while Syrus went out to
put the stone back to The Old City Of Shanghai Wall, he said
“I guess I’ll have to wait 5 years before my adventure unfolds!”
