Banshee?
Promise/Anis S
"Witch…!!" The creature seemed to ask in a faint voice. Almost resembling a whisper."Blood witch…?!" the creature said again."Is the creature asking us?" Omar asked Anthonius.Anthonius simply shook his head and told Omar to entice the creature to the spot beneath the crystal light, which was composed of sharp-tipped shards of perpetual ice crystal."Can you?" Anthonius whispered the question. "Leave it to me." Anthonius told Omar, "Just give me the protective magic barrier!"Omar became quiet for a while. given how risky Anthonius' strategy is for them both. Anthonius was referring to a crystal lamp that weighed several dozen tons. The second floor of the Dark Dragon Temple could be completely destroyed by the explosion that would result from the lamp falling from the ceiling height. At worst, the eternal ice crystal will be shattered into shards as sharp as mithril swords and thrown everywhere. Even though they were shielded by a two-layered magical barrier, the crystal shards cou
The Death of the Dark Dragon
Promise/Anis S
A whirlpool of ice crystals came toward the two as they were ready to exit the Dark Dragon Temple's second floor. Dima slowly emerged from the ice crystal vortex and approached Anthonius and Omar."Your manna detection is weakening. I came here at Alyosha's request to check on everyone." Dima became quiet for a while. Every scrape in the room caught his attention as he gazed about. Dima attempted to speculate as to Anthonius and Omar's fate. Dima then questioned, "You were attacked?"Omar grinned, perhaps making fun of what he and Anthonius had just gone through. "Almost died!" Omar muttered."Alyosha asked me to warn you about a creature resembling a banshee or something similar. That thing assaulted him a while back, but luckily Division II's Rudolf was on patrol close to where he passed out. I hope you don't go through what Alyosha did.""We just got it!" Anthonius exclaimed, shocking Dima at once.Anthonius handed Dima a crystal bottle that had been left by someone who had assiste
Mithril Terra Mine
Promise/Anis S
As the highest leader at the time, Afar established two major guardian warrior groups during Terra's early formation: Crimson Knight and Lazuardi Sword. The orichalcum sword facing upwards is the emblem of glory for Lazuardy Sword, whereas the orichalcum sword facing downwards is the symbol of glory for Crimson Knight.At that moment, the tasks of Lazuardy Sword and Crimson Knight were clearly divided by Afar. Crimson Knight will only operate outside Terra, with their headquarters in the city of Vorkuta, located in the Komi Republic, Russia. Their main task is to protect and ensure the safety of the witches who have lived in harmony with humans. Meanwhile, Lazuardy Sword has a narrower scope of power, which is to handle various issues concerning witches that occur in Terra. Lazuardy Sword has its headquarters in two major cities in Terra, namely Filanesia City and Andrea.There has never been a significant issue that forced these two groups of guards to be antagonistic toward one anot
The Frozen Time of Anthonius
Promise/Anis S
Meuz was the direct leader of Lazuardy Sword at first, but after assuming the position as Terra's primary protector, Meuz's authority was formally transferred to Leah, an S-rank sorceress. Leah's real identity is unknown, but many believe that when she was younger, she worked for Antonnie Xander, a crazy alchemist and one of Terra's greatest witches. Many members of the Lazuardy Sword dislike Leah since they don't know who she is. Rebellions against Leah's authority have increased in frequency recently. However, Meuz never found another rank S witch to take Leah's place.Asking the guard, "Do they still reject Leah's presence?" Anthonius questioned.The two guards simply exchanged a smirk before nodding.One of the guards remarked, "What else can we do...?"Another guard remarked, "He... is someone who leads, who wields his power with an iron fist."Anthonius spoke briefly with the guard at the City of Filanesia's main gate before leaving.…When Anthonius reached Filanesia, he rememb
The Witch of the Moon Devil. Meuz
Promise/Anis S
Anthonius was reluctant to leave the salt traders' camp in Kelana Field because of Masha's striking resemblance to Luda. In order to urge the young general to meet Meuz before midday, Anthonius even had to be pursued. Anthonius turned to face the girl before they walked through the city gates of Filanesia, despite An's stern reminder to return to the city right away."What is the matter with you? What happened to you?!" asked An, who was already annoyed by Anthonius's mischievous behavior.Anthonius simply was staring at a wooden box that Masha had given him, which contained a number of therapeutic herbs, without responding to his friend's question. Anthonius fixed the medicine box with his intense gaze. He ran his hands over the wooden box, feeling each side softly. Then Anthonius inhaled deeply and let it out gradually. He made an effort to remember every moment he had just had with Masha."Do you remember the first daughter of the Volkova family?" Anthonius inquired. "Masha and Lud
The lethally Rain Arrow
Promise/Anis S
"So... what should we do to face these two problems?" Anthonius questioned frantically, but he made an effort to maintain his composure by keeping his face expressionless."I am not sure if the mithril supply in Terra will be able to meet market demand for the next 2 or 3 years." Furthermore, compared to 200 years ago, many of the tools used now take four to six times as much mithril to create. Since offensive magic is essentially based on manipulating matter, modern wizards are overly preoccupied with learning it. "Such a waste!"Something in Anthonius's statements looked familiar to Meuz. The great magician, who always wore a mask of Orichalcum to conceal his face, hurried over to a shelf that held his essential records and archives. Meuz selected a few sheets of letters bearing the official Terra seal from among the numerous books and reports arranged on the wooden shelf and gave them to Anthonius."What is this?" As he was given multiple pages of official letters that appeared to
Sofia City
Promise/Anis S
Before Anthonius went back to work with the main investigation team, Meuz gave him instructions to go to the Terra central archive building in Sofia. Anthonius spent some time with Masha before leaving for the city of Sofia. Masha was honing a knife when Anthonius got close to the tent. This dagger, which is typical of the city of Euhron, is wrapped in seashell leather and has a sapphire stone carved with flowers.For a minute, Anthonius watched as Masha honed the dagger. Anthonius remembered An's remarks regarding the roots of Masha's family, who were bear-skin craft traders from the city of merchants, the City of Ein. Anthonius was momentarily perplexed. Given his familiarity with one-handed swords, short swords, different kinds of knives, and daggers, Antonius recognized that Masha's particular dagger was extremely uncommon and, in its early days, even regarded as a premium item. The dagger's blade is even composed of a metal that is equivalent in value to pure orichalcum, the most
Speak-Out: Bone Fragments of the Murder Victim
Promise/Anis S
It never occurred to Anthonius that he might run into Gistara and Abhiseva in Sofia. Furthermore, they were joined by the Romanov twins. In one of the old buildings on the outskirts of the city, the four of them were cleaning up the presence of shards of amethyst crystal. Gistara and the others were cleaning the amethyst crystal shards in the old structure, but they were also removing pieces of human bone that might have been involved in the recent witch killings in Terra.As the team leader, Anthonius questioned Gistara, "Who sent the report?""A local farmer. He unintentionally discovered his missing calf while searching for it." Gistara said in horror, "There were only fragments of unfinished bones remaining.""The victim is estimated to have died more than 3 months ago." According to Abhiseva, his or her body was discovered inside an old horse stable after being buried—or purposefully covered with dry straw.Abhiseva reached into his coat pocket and removed two pieces of bone wrap
The Lily Fire's Secret
Promise/Anis S
Benedikt invited Anthonius to accompany him to the library so that he could look at certain documents that Meuz had requested after he had demonstrated the memory-summoning magic. Records of wars fought in Terra, more especially those fought in the Old District of Za'ud, are included in the documents. Once a military installation, the Za'ud District was transformed into a makeshift settlement for Terra's troops and their families because while training, the troops are unable to return to their homeland. Situated west of the Black Sea, the Za'ud District shares a northern boundary with the Afar Palace.The Za'ud District was formerly a battlefield and is now a military installation next to testing grounds and armament stores. An extremely unexpected incident occurred two months prior to the conclusion of the conflict between the supporters and the opposition, specifically those who favored the rule of the Earth God or Crystal, Zu. Zu's followers were cornered that day. The surviving Zu
10% probability
Promise/Anis S
It turns out that Rain Arrow, which is actually a form of non-spell magic and simple general magic that anybody can learn, has complexities that not everyone understands. 10% of the overall attack damage produced by the user is the fractional attack damage of Rain Arrow. The most dreaded kind of attack damage is fractional attack damage. Attack damage comes in three flavors: fractional, physical, and magical. Whereas magical attack types provide magical attack damage, physical attack types produce physical attack damage. Certain attacks don't always result in a single kind of harm. For instance, Zu is the only archer to perfect the Phoenix Arrow ability, a kind of magical attack that deals 85% fractional damage, with the remaining portion being physical damage.Whereas a standard shield may only survive physical attack damage, a magical barrier can only repel or withstand certain sorts of magical attack damage when in use. For this reason, a frontline guard must be able to build a pro
