"Your master?" Altair had muttered, clearly quite taken aback.At Altair’s question, Lyonel had let go of him and asked, "You didn’t know?"When Altair replied, “Nuh-uh…”, Lyonel let out a deep sigh, and immediately after, he replied, “Alright, this was my bad.” Yet he managed to make it clear, simply through his gaze, that he wasn’t particularly happy to be there.“Well, well, well, I didn’t expect to see my dear student here. I thought you were done seeing me.” As these words echoed from beyond the manor gates, Altair looked at Leonard once more, trying to make sense of what was happening, when Lyonel’s voice was heard again.“Sorry, old man. My friend made a mistake coming here; I shall be the one to teach him, not you,” he said, while trying to do something. Altair could see him trying, but couldn't understand what it was for, causing Leonard to frown before uttering the following:"And you THINK you can teach better than me?"Altair tried to stop Lyonel by covering his mouth, bu

When Altair and Lyonel, who was with him, finally arrived at the area where the mansion stood, the young man who had been turned away at the entrance the previous day was this time allowed straight inside.Upon entering the training ground directly, it became apparent that there were far more people around than expected.Lyonel had exchanged greetings with a few people and had also acknowledged a few others with just a glance.Altair did not wish to dwell on this and began to wait in the middle of the training ground, with everyone’s eyes upon him.This time, Altair had fastened his cloak higher up, so that everything was visible; it wasn’t folded over him as it had been the previous day.Had he not been sitting on the ground yesterday, Leonard himself would likely not have noticed the cloak or paid it any attention.The crest… wasn’t particularly large; it didn’t require a close look, but one could say it didn’t really stand out unless one looked directly at the cloak.Now, however,

"Art?" Altair had asked with great curiosity.Leonard, however, seemed taken aback by the question and paused, a broad smile reappearing on his scarred face.It wasn’t just him; even Lyonel, who was busy drinking behind him, though Altair couldn’t see him, was left speechless."Come on... did you do it unwillingly? How can the flow in your body be of such high quality?" Leonard had muttered and then gently placed his hand directly on Altair’s back, intending to check the flow.Within mere seconds, he had withdrawn his hand from Altair’s back and stared, his eyes wide with astonishment.Immediately afterwards, he turned to Lyonel and asked him to come over.As soon as Lyonel joined them, he touched Altair’s back and then checked his energy.Within seconds, those words had slipped from his mouth:“Bloody hell, holy fucking shit...”When Altair adjusted his position to figure out what was happening and set down his spear, he looked at Lyonel and Leonard, who were both stunned.“Is everyt

"So, you see him as your brother, is that it?" asked a man with golden hair and eyes, who looked as though he might be in his thirties.This man was the 97,928th Emperor of the Sun Empire.Within the Aculon Tower, with its two-billion-year history, many races lived.Among these races, of course, were elves, humans, dwarves and many other mystical races.Naturally, over time, many races had come to accept interbreeding with other races.The empire’s current emperor was just such a person.His mother was a half-elf, his father a human.He was a half-elf like his mother; one could almost say he was immortal.It was not difficult to understand why the elves, a race that had fully attained immortality amongst the races, and whose blood could only be spilt in battle, had so few emperors.Consequently, the figure of 97,928 seemed quite reasonable within the Sun Empire, an empire founded by the Moon Family as a branch family, a friendly family, and which had thus endured for nearly two billio

It had been almost two hours since the group had entered the forty-eighth floor.This floor was one of the defensive levels that constantly appeared within Aculon itself. The task was very simple. A castle, or in some complex situations, a vast city, would be handed over as a mission to those attempting to clear that floor.These individuals were then obliged to fully protect and defend the area.Progress had to be made by taking into account main lines, sequential points, strategic positions and more.Every scenario was different.Every single one.Without exception.Yet this floor had one distinct feature.This floor assigned the task of defending a castle, rather than a massive city, to those climbing it.Three castles rotated constantly. As the climbers entered the floor, Aculon himself deemed them worthy of one of these three towers, and thus the floor’s mission began.In other words, this was the floor about which the most was known regarding the defence floors.Yet there was a
