Other than old Sean who decided to stay and help, the others went away, giving Adam some room to work. Joran initially wanted to persuade him to rest, but with the current condition, it’s best that they resolved the problem fast. Therefore, they decided to let him work in the end.“Master Adam, can’t we send this to your church?” Sean was trying all measures to get it done.‘What church?’ Adam shook his head. “Not an option master Sean, this book says they destroyed the ones they found, which means there was more than one. We should find a way to do it ourselves or we will be in trouble again,” He was fully concentrating on the book while Sean was going through other books hoping to find the ritual.“I thought God will protect us, in the end, in his holy place this evil thing is still effective,” Sean said in a disappointed tone‘What god? Should I tell him the truth?’ Adam wondered halting his reading.‘Maybe I should,’ he decided“Your god is no longer here Master Sean, maybe when t
Sean walked out of the room with a complex heart. He had to report their finding to Joran. His god, God of Harvest, had abandoned them. Sean didn’t doubt Adam’s words. Mainly because, while all these disappearances happen in the village, he prayed, day and night, but never received any response.Most people in the village considered him as a madman for believing in gods. However, today, they were facing a challenge that mortals couldn’t face.Until Joran told them that a similar thing happened about 200 years ago, he did not know there was such a disaster. If people were living from that era, there could only be around a few hundred in all the Crimson Empire.What made him more depressed was that there was another God’s believer that could help them.“Sean, what happened?” He was deep in thought he did not know there were many people inside his old Church until Joran’s voice woke him from his daze.“Sigh, he has found the solution for the cursed bracelet,” he unintentionally let out a
‘Wait, what is happening?’ Adam panicked, feeling his power draining at an alarming rate.Finally, it stopped after several seconds. Still, Adam felt if he cast this spell about another four times, he would pass out.- Host’s Spirit is too low to handle the spellSurprisingly, the system answered him. ‘But it said spirit requirement is F+,’- Minimum requirement to cast the spell one time‘Damn’ he cursed silently. However, before he gets into the problem, he felt the strange feeling of burning from the braceletThe next moment, a wailing sound erupted within the bracelet and a cloud of thick black smoke rose, turning into a blurry humanoid figure. It made everyone lose their breath. It was the bloodcurdling feeling of cold and darkness brought by the wailing figure.Adam heard it talking, but he couldn’t make out any words. And after a few seconds, golden light covered the black figure, bursting it into flame only to leave nothing behind.Adam took a deep breath and tried to stabili
Adam looked at the armoury in a daze. He couldn’t believe this place belonged to a village. Even though Westwood village was big, it was still a village. However, here, the number of weapons kept was enough to arm a small army.He saw different bows, swords, war clubs, spears, and many other weapons were stacked on wooden racks. Although they were not neatly arranged, he could tell they were well maintained. Joran guided him here in choosing a weapon.“Master Adam, this is our armoury,” there was a hint of pride in Joran’s voice. “Although this is not good as the North War Town Armory, you will not find a better one even in West Coast city, unless it is her Majesties’ stash,”Adam felt like this man was talking about the Armory in a fashion that he was promoting his daughter to a matching suiter.He carefully looked at the weapons, and one thing he noted was that they look extremely heavy. ‘Yes, these men in the village may use them,’ he thought, remembering the sturdy build of these
- Detecting the host has activated the blood bonding ritual. The host is advised not to stop unless the host wishes to not use the Shadow Blade anymore.‘Shit,’ Adam gritted his teeth and let the blade absorb his blood. Joran and Bob both looked at the weird man and dagger that absorbed blood. They saw the pattern in the handle grow clearer, and the blade emitting a red glow. The process lasted for a few minutes. However, for Adam, it just started.- Shadow Blade has accepted the blood of the awakened wolf- Host is too weak to wield the blade of a master Assassin- Forceful integration of Light Dagger Art (Basic) activated- Basic requirement met (Strength - F+, Agility - F+)- Authentication successSudden pain hit him hard, so hard that he fell off the chair with the dagger in hand.“Master Adam,” Joran and Bob both got up from their seats. Few guards ran inside because of the high voice of Joran. Adam couldn’t open his mouth; he was sure if he did, he would be screaming. Gritting
Adam made his way back to the old Church; he needed to be ready to face whatever he would meet in the lost church of shadow. There was a Horned panther in the area as he knew, but Adam couldn’t forget Nina went toward the ruins too. Hopefully, whatever related to the curse would not be hiding in the ruins. After all, it once belonged to a true god.However, there was something that made Adam confused. Wolf God was a true God, and Adam could draw a small portion of his power to cast the purification spell. He felt how powerful a true god was. Therefore, how did a church of shadows, where Wolf God was the absolute authority, became a ruin?What happened that made a true god lose his footing in the Crimson Empire? And what was the connection between the Crimson Empire and the Wolf God? But all that could wait for now. Now was the time to be ready for the next mission.He only has two combat-related abilities, but even with both combined, he was no match for a horned panther. The only opti
Two wolves ran all morning through the forest before the Grey wolf king stopped for some water near a stream. Adam realised when he was in his wolf form, he had endless energy for running. Feeling all the muscles in his body working together to provide energy to slip through the forest was a great and relaxing experience for him. And It was a feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long time.However, even for once, he didn’t forget where he was running to and why. Adam didn’t know how long his guide would help him either. Still, for the time being, he enjoyed the feeling of freedom and happiness away from the prying eyes and questionable gazes that followed him in the West Coast city.After a bit of water and rest, Grey wolf king started running again. This time, it didn’t stop for any food. And Adam had nothing to complain about. He had his breakfast at the village and he drank a mouth full of water from the stream. As for the slight Hunger, he was feeling, well, that was nothing new to
‘How can this be?’ Adam felt more worried than ever.The fight showed that whatever fought with the Horned panther was alone. Whatever it was, it’s stronger than the horned panther. And most importantly, he did not know what came to the ruins to kill the horned panther.Adam fell into thought. ‘Now, I am here and my mission is complete, it’s better, I get out of here,’ although he wanted to study the Church, with unknown threats lurking around, it was better to run. He valued his life more. However, he realised luck was not that good against the devious system.- Secondary Mission – Find and enter the inner sanctum of the lost Church of Shadow- Mission objective – There was an inner sanctum in every Church of shadow. The host is advised to find it within three days.- Mission reward – General points and additional reward based on the performance- Mission failure – Reduction of one attribute by half‘But there is nothing valuable here,’ he highly doubted that people of the Westwood
