The dark source and power that they received from the Abbadon were more than just some random magical pill that gave them Brute and Magic, opened up the many pathways within the body, and even strengthened their very organs.It was a darkness, a rebellious power that was their very being. And it had bound those who took the pill into a binding contract. The three had taken the pill and this darkness was linked to their life and soul.Flay’s lightning was that of Jupiter and it had a very powerful cleansing power that was helpful for those born in magically inclined worlds.Unlike Flay’s former world where there was little magic, the bodies of those born into the world will have little magical pollutants in them. And so, the water infused with lightning will have no effect on those in Flay’s world but would provide a percentile increase in the magical powers as it could cleanse the poison.Small portions of the slime were mixed in the water and everyone drank thinking it was some exoti

A day had passed since the revelation. Many of the nobles remained in the kingdom, but as there was an urgent need to cleanse the kingdom, Flay and his allies began their journey to the South.The dusty road stretched ahead beneath a pale morning sky, the caravan moving steadily south through the narrow path that cut between twisted marshlands and gnarled trees.Flay sat near the front of the lead wagon, his dark cloak pulled low over his face as he surveyed the thick mist that clung to the swampy edges of the road. Princess Estelle rode close by, her fingers wrapped tightly around the Staff of Orvendus, which shimmered faintly in the muted light.Alongside them were Vallenhal and Ephesus, their eyes sharp and alert, watching the surrounding marsh. The caravan had thirty-one wolves at the forefront and two lions. These beasts marched in disciplined formation, their eyes alert, nostrils flaring at the foreign scents clinging to the marsh wind. The lions, regal and calm, moved with the

Flay’s entrance caught the Expert off guard.“A boy? I didn’t sense him!” the Expert thought, narrowing his eyes as the shadows parted to reveal the youth.Next to Flay was a black wolf, its eyes glowing with a predatory gleam.The wolf was unlike any creature that the expert had seen.The beast stood silent but poised, every muscle taut as if it could spring forward at any moment.The Expert frowned at the boy and was instantly cautious. His fingers twitched, and he commanded the magic of the air. Winds gathered, forming a subtle barrier as he sought to read the newcomer’s essence.The energy wrapped around him, and his perception sharpened, covering Flay and casting the gauge magic to discern Flay’s stats.“A Rookie-8?!” The Expert cursed aloud.Flay simply smirked.“Brat! You’re a beast master, aren’t you?!”“Actually, I’m a tamer. And don’t worry. I’ll prove to be a challenge. An expert of your speed and strength would be perfect for me to practice my quickdraw and aim.”“Quickdra

The sun was at its high noon by the time Flay finally emerged from the forest.His beasts followed quietly behind him: the Night Mare, Cerberus, and Judah.Estelle and the others were already gathered near the broken carriages. Smoke curled upward where the battle had been. The smell of burnt wood and mana still clung to the air.Vallenhal looked up first.“Master Flay… I trust battling the Expert left you with a few problems.”“You could say that. Judah ate his body, though. The battle gave him a couple of wounds since he tanked the attack.”“I wonder how he tanked it… That lightning mage is quite dangerous.” Jeggs gave a suspicious stare at Judah.He could see the cinder and wounds on the lion, but none were on Flay.Ephesus stepped forward.“The field is secured. Relos and Danespark managed to form a distance link with the capital. Riders will come by dawn to retrieve the bodies and investigate the identity of these traitors. Well, at least those that we can identify and didn’t get
