CHAPTER TWENTY: Master Windsor of Riderna
Shivering, Gilgal tightened his hand into a fist, directed his entire energy into it, then discharged everything at the wall. But his fist never hit the wall. His force and magic shattered on a translucent barrier inches away from the wall. He stumbled and staggered backwards from the rebound. He didn’t lose his sense of self preservation. Ducking under the grasping hands of the visitor, he spun around to face the fellow, with the open door now behind him.Even at that, though, he knew it was useless. A translucent dome of ice had appeared around them, covering just the room. He didn’t need any prior experience to recognize a domain when he saw one. He could already feel his energy growing sluggish. The rules here were for ice.“Who are you?!” he barked. Able to establish a domain meant a Dominion or Transcendent Realm expert. The fact that the world only trembled slightly made it more likely a Dominion Realm being. But at what particular level with ice affinity? Ice affinity woul
CHAPTER NINETEEN: Night Visitor
The winter had truly begun. It was three weeks since the martial hearing, and changes had taken place in the entire Order. The unofficial ranking was updated with Gilgal placed at the very top, just below the Masters. Knights and Messengers still in the Castle began their meditation again. The recent batch of squires began their exams, and the Masters restarted their special trainings.The potential Masters were all involved with the special trainings, and those Purgers who believed themselves ready for the challenge, joined them. Each of the five Masters decided how their own trainings would go, but all were designed to challenge even hardened Purgers. Master Wyvrill limited his training to theoretical study of magic. But this was in no way simple. The theories took enough comprehension to digest, and he asked questions randomly, assigning punishments for wrong answers. Sometimes, he’d reinforce the lectures with demonstrations in the Order arena, which set hearts trembling.N
SCROLL FRAGMENT
SCROLL FRAGMENT TEN My presence here seems to have done that which I hoped for. I have appeared to most of these humans in their time of greatest need, helping them fend off the demons, and they worship me for it! They have begun to call me a god, brothers! I mean to keep doing this, and soon the entirety of this layer will revere me as God! My word will be law! This way, we don’t have to worry about them growing arrogant or too powerful again to challenge our supremacy. This way we can see the fulfillment of part of the wish which led us to seek the core in the first place. The demons are the only problem I still have no solution for. They’ve always been powerful and stubborn beyond measure! The humans are still stubborn, but they’re gullible. This is not the case with the demons. They still have Transcendent Realm beings among them, and they have a longer memory. The centuries have not made them forget the world as it was before. They still believe they are of an equal footing
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Demon Lord Lilith
Jaron was fast. The woman – Inanna Regina Immortalis, eldest and most powerful of the Demon Lord Lilith’s direct children – was unconcerned. The world rippled. Shockwaves spread as their Divine bodies wrestled for control of the ambient energy, first in feet, then meters. It didn’t end there. The shockwaves grew stronger, seeming now to affect even the very fabric of reality. Jaron grit his teeth and held on stubbornly. His lightning Divine body was weaker than Inanna’s Slaughter Divine body. But it was tenacious. Vengeful. It refused to yield. It was the essence of lightning. The world around them began to ripple. Stones warped, sky and bodies warped. Jaron still hung on stubbornly even with the signs of an imminent breaking occurring around him. If the Demon Princess refused to stop, then neither would he! Cracks split the world. Not on the ground alone. The air cracked. The sky cracked. Cracks that led to a seemingly boundless darkness. Chaotic currents began to
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: Answering Summons
Jaron Igarlan hit the ground with a grimace. He stumbled forward a few steps before quickly falling into a Gebo stance, steadying himself. His eyes needed to adjust – they were still blurry – so he didn’t bother with them. He flared his magical senses outwards instead. The Lower Aether was already working its enhancement on him. A range of 10km was made available to his senses, where 5km would have been a stretch back in the Middle Aether. Of course this range only offered a quick overview of the situation around him. He could only sense with details everything around a 1km radius. Enhancement of the Lower Aether, notwithstanding. Nothing stood out in the immediate environment. He was alone, and as yet undiscovered. Patting himself down, he noticed he was still in one piece. Journeying through the barriers this time had fairly burned him alive. Slowly, he opened his eyes. Everything still appeared blurry for a few seconds before they began to render themselves into sh
SCROLL FRAGMENT
SCROLL FRAGMENT NINE ON THE NATURE OF ENERGY; THE MYSTERIES OF THE DIVINE BODY We all know, or have felt the sense of inadequacy associated with the Divine body, and I wouldn’t be surprised if many of you simply attributed it to the fact that your advancement levels was still lacking.Well now, I have stepped into the Transcendent Realm and this inadequacy still exists. Nay, it is even more evident! And this observation have confirmed to me what millennia of research had failed to do. You all call me Dain the Fervent because you believe I have lost all reason to my obsession, but now I can say with some true certainty, based on factual evidence, that I was right. I have discovered finally the true nature of energy; the true nature of the force that binds our world together. And I am not even the first to discover this!I have long suspected that the beings of the Upper Aether were keeping secrets about the sundering from us, and I finally discovered the proof in a hidden cave
