Shadow of The Totembeast
The crimson waves around Aethan began to spiral in a calm, but tension-triggering manner, wrapping around him like a reaper's mantle.The bandit leader was crippled by fear, his pupils constricting into pinholes and his body losing all functions. He didn't even know when he shit his pants and began quivering like he had been dipped in a vat of ice. Cold sweat matted his back, his attempts at pleading for his life failing under Aethan's tight grip on his jaws. Merek watched this from behind, sitting calmly upon Ignaroth without moving a muscle; he couldn't care less if the bandits died. Their job was a risky one anyway, and they had just drawn the short end of the stick. What he was most interested in was the crimson aura revolving around Aethan, as it was a sign of a Totembeast being used. If Merek so wished, he could emanate a fiery aura reminiscent of Ignaroth, and burn opponents weaker than him, or strengthen his attacks with it. Now, seeing this display, he remembered the tal
Three Moves
The destructive spheres closed in on Aethan, curving towards him like homing missiles. The deadly intent behind each one was as great as the other, and Aethan could literally see the sneer on the Water Mage’s face. He could make out what he was thinking, but Aethan was unfazed in the face of it all. He still had an arsenal of unused spells, ranging from Common, all the way up to Legendary. If the bandits thought they had him cornered, then they were in for a rude awakening. “Bl'u!" Aethan voiced out a Rune, and his Aether connected with the world, sparking a spell into existence. Gale and Thunder gathered above, morphing into a fierce spherical creation. Then just as quickly as it appeared, the air around it was suddenly compressed, and a strong electromagnetic wave was released from the electrical charges. These two procedures resulted in it creating a powerful suction force that affected the surrounding twenty meters! And the closer one was to the spell, the stronger the pull on
Bandits
Aethan landed nimbly on the ground before Ignaroth, shifting his gaze to one of the bandits—who he assumed to be the leader—their eyes locked in a furious exchange, neither looking away nor blinking for a second. The bandit leader tensed upon sensing that Merek was of a higher Circle, but him not moving gave him an idea of what was going on—or at least, what he thought Merek was thinking. He believed that Merek was using them—the bandits—as training for Aethan, thinking that if things went south he could swoop in and save Aethan. However…'Cocky bastard,’ the bandit leader thought, his expression not hinting at his cunning thoughts. ‘He'll be dead before you can even think of moving!’Then suddenly, both exploded into action, erupting with attacks that even took the other bandits off guard.Where was the signal?! Hadn't they all planned the attack together?!— Those were the bandits’ thoughts.Unfortunately, their leader had seen something dangerous, and he didn't believe the newbie
The Green Forest
Aethan woke up to the uncomfortable lurching of Ignaroth, looking up just to find the night sky out with millions of stars twinkling in its infinitely wide expanse.He redirected his gaze and found Merek sitting across Ignaroth's back, his eyes focused on the road.Merek turned his head slightly, sending a glance towards Aethan before focusing ahead again."How's your head?" He asked, to which Aethan simply shook his head and sat up properly. He knew his brother was just messing with him, as nothing was wrong with his body—just a little fatigue that more sleep could alleviate."Where are we?" Aethan asked after noticing his surroundings.He looked back, staring at Mt Veyrun, remembering all that had happened within it—the dungeon stages and how he had almost lost his life.Truth be told, the moments where his life was at risk had forced him to tap into a latent potential he didn't know he had. Although the knowledge gained from the first dungeon level had given him the necessary ideas
Otherworldly
Aethan flashed forward in a line of blue and silver, his blades cutting forward even faster. BOOM! He was blasted back by an unseen force, leaving him to cough out another mouthful of blood. His Aether rushed through his body quickly, mending his wounds as fast as it could, but... it wasn't fast enough. Aethan's prowess took a downward dip, and his next attack failed to even begin before he was flung back again. He grit his teeth and got up, blood dripping down his form, his eyes glowing with an intense crimson light. 'Whatever it is that is behind the veil of dim light, cannot attack,' Aethan deduced swiftly as the cogs in his mind rattled. He noticed that the attacks so far where just flares of the beings aura, not tangible or elemental attacks. Even the spell used earlier was mental, having no physical form. In spite of that, Aethan couldn't do much. If he foolishly charged in without a proper plan, then he was basically handing his head on a silver platter. 'Still, there is
The Voice
A familiar white space welcomed Aethan—to his surprise; but unlike the previous white spaces that had an orb floating midair at the center by some mystical force, he found nothing.He took a few cautious steps forward, crouching as he moved and preparing himself for anything. For all he knew this place might be dangerous, having hidden traps that could put his life in danger.Aethan inched closer to the center of the white space, taking note of where he stepped and how many steps he took. As soon as he got close enough to the center, a flash of light forced him to close his eyes, and he didn't hesitate to retreat a few steps back, his Aether churning.His blades appeared in his hands like they had been there all along, and Aether circulated in the next second, activating their Runes.Aethan dropped into a defensive posture, his feets spread apart, his knees bent slightly, and his swords raised before him. Volt Edge flickered with sparks of lightning, it's penetrative amd destructive p
