Ligz opened his eyes.“Apprentice… Seven…” Ligz was still in a daze. He was officially a High Apprentice! He would be equal to an elite in the village! It was unprecedented!Unlike the previous sessions, they now took the energy through pills, and with the bursting energy of a D-Ranked Core, it gave everyone the energy to rise several levels!Scythe was still closing its eyes as it was digesting the power it had received. The dark scales of Scythe had grown dark green as he absorbed the pill. A mutation had begun. Scythe was already a mutated form, but now, the miraculous pill that was gifted to it allowed the darkness of his form to make an appearance.Scythe was developing a power to coat himself with the darkness and made it as if he looked like a shadow.Arthen smiled as he awakened. He did right about the same time Ligz completed his absorption.Ruby was also changing. His mutation was now becoming more and more stable. Ruby was now a new race of Spiders. He was not just a simple
It was the night before the tournament continuation.In the past days, numerous delegates from the Northerforts have arrived and they made very ambitious claims to the land.The Duke of Westerfort was forced to surrender portions of their best land and give it to the Duchess.It was as if the Duchess had taken over a quarter of the entire kingdom! Many of the Westerfort officials were against it but Kanter was set.Many wept as their beloved fort was being stripped bare and owned by the Northerforts.But to prevent war with the North, Kanter acceded.In the arrangement that followed numerous trade deals, pacts, and stringent laws were signed.It was practically impossible for the Westerfort to do something without the Northerfort knowing what it was.The Southerforts and the Northerforts soon learned of it and saw the Southerforts be a pawn that could be used by the Norhterforts.Its power and influence had grown with the signing of many pacts even before the arrival of the delegates
The words of the Prince froze Asteria and Kanter’s hearts.They never expected that the political actions of this Veil, a Prince far from the crown would seek to investigate Flay’s master!Everyone must have been thinking of either ignoring Flay’s Master who was believed to be undergoing the Blaze of Glory.Some would even think of gaining favor since such an opportunity would give them great benefits!Kanter and Asteria were confident that no one would find out the schemes of Flay’s elusive master. The Blaze of Glory was a perfect excuse. With that, no one would dare to make a move against them! Doing so would invoke great wrath! A dying alchemist or mage with nothing to lose will do crazy things.But of all the people in Galantcross, was one who was either stupid, arrogant, or desperate for power, that he chose to make the absurd accusation that Flay’s master was an outsider!The notion itself seemed crazy to everyone else!“This… idiot!” Kanter did his best to hide his anger at the
The words of Flay had startled the great prince of Galantcross. Veil was surprised at Flay’s words that he was speechless. And just when he was about to jump in and accept the offer, his Expert bodyguard made those crazy words!Everyone’s jaw dropped as they saw the strange scene. Veil, the high prince of Galantcross was now embracing Flay and laughing joyfully.But behind this laughing, smiling, man, Veil was secretly shaking. He made these ridiculous movements to hide his shock.“How did his master know of my ailment?! Could it be…? His master was one of that powerful alchemists that my mother contacted before?! Then this man clearly is someone who has been inside the kingdom for so long! My gamble turned out poorly! This man could reveal my affliction!” Veil was trembling. He also noticed the subtle action of Flay.Flay was subtly trying to avoid being in contact with Veil. But then, Flay decided to allow Veil to reach him.“He knows…! But that reaction...! Could it be that he trul
Veil led the way and opened the carriage. The insides of the majestic carriage and was amazed.“So wasteful. Relying on condensed energy of Brute and Magic. This thing doesn’t even have ways to sustain and create its own energy.” Kairo sighed.“If this is the wealth of this place, then it’s even lower than I think it is.”Flay kept quiet and maintained an amazed expression as he rode the carriage.“Take us up. A talk with the Eos deserves a heavenly view.” The Prince spoke.“Yes, my Lord!” The Adept bowed and the carriage began to leave the grand hall.Everyone glanced at the scene and many were murmuring about what this would mean.But Arthen secretly messages the group that Flay would be in danger as the Prince wanted to kill him.As the meeting of the warriors continued, the floating carriage of the Prince began to scale the high heavens.Flay watched in amazement as he saw the sky higher than the heavens. They moved beyond the thick clouds and flew over them.The thick clouds that
The day of the tournament arrived and many new delegates of great power had arrived.There were more experts, more warriors of fame, and even scholars who had arrived.The massive arena had gotten fewer as the prices to watch had increased by a fold. But all that nobles vied for good seats as the event had now drawn the attention of many powerful families that stayed in Galantcross.All the nobles brought their most handsome and beautiful members for a chance to be noticed in this grand event. A marriage and alliance were being sought forNo sign of the Galantcross prince was found on that day. Everyone could only speculate where they went and what they were doing.All Dukes were housed in different seats and only Asteria was seated in the hovering building above the skies.“Let the tournament begin!” Asteria finally declared.The crowd went wild as they heard the announcement and the names of all contestants were being named.“Report.” Asteria turned to her experts.Mage Experts Patr
The Heavenly City of the Westerfort naturally had walls as monsters of all sorts lived in the forest above the mountaintop.While there were hunts and powerful cultivators ensuring that the beasts in the Westerforts would not grow too many, it was only natural that they still created walls and forts fearing attacks and raids. Long ago, there was no wall as the people believed there would be no war. It wasn’t until the monster raid of a Brute Ape army that led to the deaths of thousands that forced the Westerfort finally built a wall. This was one of the reasons why Kanter became the next Duke of Westerfort as he was the only one who insisted on building it. Over the wall, few guards were in place as most were set to guard the inner parts of the kingdom to prevent any possible assassination attempts.But around the city were members of several Baron and Viscount's groups that Duke Kanter had directly ordered to guard and monitor the situation fearing the worst.A patrol of Southerfort
The teams from the Southerfort and the Easterfort were strong and had managed to complicate the march of the monsters.Decalan watched the hilltop where the Southerfort forces were able to hold and kill a lot. The flares that all lit up completely drew attention.“The assassination attempt should have made everyone guarded! The Duchess even rearranged the entire city to protect her!” Decalan had observed the orders and arrangement of the forces and his two sons who had infiltrated the area knew of the orders. But all of a sudden, nearly an hour prior to the tournament, Asteria and Duke Ferann’s orders were announced. A reshuffling occurred and was strictly implemented. This was made under the guise that Asteria wanted to make sure no assassination attempts would be made.Yet, the formation was not accurate.“These men were not here when I moved into the forest! This should have been sent just now! What happened?! Why were three platoons sent out?!” Decalan cursed.From the floating ma
