"From what they say, they encountered something ominous after they occupied some of the floors of the dungeons and were forced to move out.
Sounds dangerous to me as well." Catherine who was interrogating the captured elves came up with a reply to everyone’s questioned look.
Although everyone was wearing a very startled look, and why wouldn’t they, her calm and collective nature was nowhere to be seen during the interrogation.
Looking at the frightening dark elves Theo had a question. "Now, what should we do with them? What do you sa…"
Before he could complete it, Nuae's daggers had slashed right through two necks, beheading them in an instant.
Two heads rolled
At Theo’s signal Sylph pounced on the summoned wolf, startling other members of their party. She cast a spell at the same time, one of her signature spells, Hollow Wind: On using causes everyone to back off by a step as a blow of heavy wind That spell hit everyone except that summon who had good resistance to magical attacks. With a hint of irritation, Warlock kid ordered his summon to go all out on Sylph, but to their surprise, she turned away and flew towards the denser region of the forest. The summon followed her without giving any thought as it was merely following the orders, cast by the Warlock Kid. As it got in the bushes the region got awfully calm, leaving only the party of the Dark elves and Warlock kid behind. With a quick speed-up buff, he was running at a lightning-fast speed towards the enemy. Accel: Enhancing user’s attributes for 12 seconds by 20% at the cost of 20% mana essence. Looking at him, the kid took a step forward to face him. He took out his staff and began chanting a ground distortion spell. Shapeshift: Allows user ability to manipulate the element Earth at his will As Theo closed in, he seemed to have gotten to slow down, but he wasn’t, the ground below him had turned into a rolling carpet making him slow down. “Childish spells! Can you not do any better?” This angered him even more, ‘Leap’, another spell and he quickly moved to a safer spot, in a sideways motion. “What happened? How did you…” Theo asked to which everyone looked at him worriedly. ‘What could possibly get an ace hurt?' … Catherine stepped forward and cast an instant heal spell, but to her surprise, it didn’t work. “That’s weird!” She exclaimed as the heal spell was supposed to have worked on injuries, no matter how grave. “You cursed or what? She asked him to which he spoke, “Well, let me first explain..” Before he could finish Theo replied in a highly worried tone, “Why did you go on your own? I don’t want to lose anyone.” A tear made its way out of his eyes. “I can’t feel the pain. Help me take my cloth off.” He replied with a tired expression. <Burning Soul No Mercy
Burning Soul To the Dungeon
“Look, I’m sure about being able to lead up to the 6th floor, that’s how long we could go in,” Nuae said with a serious look. “What did you come across exactly?” Theo asked knowing that the enemy they faced earlier wasn’t the only foe there, they must have come across something more powerful, something that the imperial knights couldn’t hold off. “I don’t really remember what happened but there were some very formidable dark elves who attacked us. But, that’s from a very long time ago, I’m sure that they must have fled the dungeon by now. Who’ll stay here for 10 whole years?” Nuae replied to Theodore while taking the last sip of his soup. “Well, we’ll be getting up to at least the 6th floor today. As per the records, it’s a 20-floor dungeon so we might need to spend another 2-3 nights here, be prepared. And yeah,
‘Wait! He knew Aeneas. By name? And who was he? Why did he attack a woman?’ A lot of such questions were going through their minds, but Aeneas knew who was standing before him. “What are you doing here?” Aeneas asked in a serious tone. He was looking calm but only the one who was able to look at his eyes knew that he was boiling up inside, like a volcano waiting to erupt. Theo couldn’t figure out the reason for his sudden behaviour change. He along with Vivian was helping that injured woman. She was knocked out by the last punch of his hammer, which was soaked in blood. As they were looking at each other, the dragon opened its eyes and roared while casting a dragon spell. No one knew what it was chanting as no one was pr
…The floor suddenly got silent, after-all something big was happening.Aeneas and his opponent also stopped right where they were, it was like they couldn’t even move. Theo still had his eyes shut.To everyone’s shock the faint figure that had appeared turned around and looked at Theodore, though no one could see her face, so no one had a clue about who it was, but judging by the hair it looked like a woman.After patting his head, it vanished.Theo felt this and opened his eyes only to see a very bright light, so bright he was barely able to see anything. Everyone else there saw this light as well, but from where they were, they could see something that Theo was not able to. … “We still have to climb up a floor, are you sure you don’t want to wait? We could have waited till the morning! After all, even if we go now, we’d need to wait till dawn to step out of the dungeon.” Vivian asked as Theo proposed the idea of collecting the second shard the same night. It’s been hardly 20 mins since Ember joined them, but it was still night-time. “I know, but somehow I feel like, right now is the time to get it, or we might miss something.” As Theo said so, his eyes had this shine and in the moonlight, his pendant shone in a way, its radiance was enhancing his features. Hearing his worry Aeneas replied, “Maybe you are the right kiBurning Soul Cleansing
… After walking for over three hours, they finally arrived at their campsite. It was still morning time and the sun was not high yet, and it was not that difficult for them all to walk as they used up almost all the resources they had taken along with them. After returning they started packing all the stuff together and filled up the cart, that’s when Theo realized, “Are we going to fit in? It looks like we are carrying a lot of stuff now!” He said looking at Aeneas putting in piles of packed materials. “We will need to camp now and then, we will carry essential materials needed, though what you say is true! How? all of us going to fit in?” As they all were having the
…They were taken to the hall by the sentinels.As they had heard of, sentinels were giant armoured beastmen, that armour looked like the toughest thing in the world.Being hauled by them, no one had a chance of escaping.At his palace at the heart of Arnor, all the intruders were presented in the main hall in front of their overseer!One could tell from long who was the lord here.As per tales, he surely was quite charming and taller than others in the hall.He wasn’t wearing any crown, but he didn't even need one.“Here, father! One of them was carrying this.&rdqu
…“Argh! I’m here to take you home little sister!What are you doing with these filths?You have better things to do!”Arlo spoke to Naomi completely ignoring everyone else.Theo was standing beside Ember with a shocked expression,“How dare you do that?”He started boiling up as shock transformed into anger,After all, he had shot Ember mercilessly!“Did you say something?Ah!
The next morning everyone was ready at the given time making it easier for them to leave without gaining attention!They left the cart and the horse behind any further and it'd be a beacon for Duvrion’s forces.Theo along with Ember and Luna took to the sky after leaving the Village, as for Vivian, Nuae, and Catherine, they had taken their route which was from another side of the village.Ember and Theo were keeping an eye on Aeneas and Naomi as Aeneas had asked so, the region they were to travel to was filled with guards and it was a relatively highly secure area, though they had no other opening to enter and thus had to enter from there.Of course, Vivian’s team was informed to contact if anything went south.It
…As planned Theo along with Ember arrived at the Inn.It was more like a tavern with beds to sleep, but for their low-key adventure, it was perfect.Before entering he noticed the cart which Aeneas and others were traveling in! The cart was a mess with all the mud around, it looked worked out.He slowly opened the door of the Inn to enter and the first thing he saw was Aeneas being tied up in the corner with a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth,looking all guilty.The girl at the reception was also terrified for some reason, not to mention the other people had a baffled look on their faces.His si
...Ember's soul was fading, her divinity diminishing bit by bit. Though Eleanor was a goddess, she couldn't deny the harsh truth: her power was severely limited on the primal plane. Earlier, she had nearly exhausted all her strength to halt the enemy....Eleanor had been blessed with divinity, but after living on the primal plane for so long, her divine powers had waned. Her diminishing divinity was the source of this weakness. She barely had enough to sustain herself, but now she saw no other option.'Looks like this is the only way! I might not be able to see you again, Serena! I'm sorry to break our promise!'With these thoughts, she stood up and closed her eyes. In a few moments, a small halo hovered in fr
… The scene was quite messy. Ember was pinned on the ground soaked in her own blood as an invisible force made sure she didn’t move a bit, while one guy sat on her and tried to rip apart her while the other stayed guard! The tables had turned for the worse now, just one move and Belphegor managed to rip off her clothes revealing her bare skin. He grabbed her chest and poked his craws in causing a stream of blood to peek out and slide by. Her eyes widened by the horror she was facing, “Got some strange clothes on you, enchanted, oh! How great I feel, how great how great how gr
As she was being humiliated, she could only think of the short time she spent with her master and his companions, … Last night in the dungeon, a delicate yet fierce dragon was tamed. “Are you my master?” This was where her journey began yet again. She was a dragon who had transformed into Mortal form baffling everyone, especially Vivian, Vivian started murmuring to herself, “Master! &nbs
… Asking his leave, she walked past him into the bushes nearby, unaware of the danger, Theo was still eating up his portion. She walked a while and stood to look around as she clenched her fists tightly. “Looks like we’ve got ourselves a clever one” A voice came from nearby bushes. “Hmm! Looks like the little one doesn’t want us to get the man! No problem, No no no no no problem is what I feel! Such a young beauty is worth a hundred men, how delightful the day is being to us! My brain, my body, and my soul is slipping! I fear we might not get such prey again.” This time the voice came from a seemingly old guy who was wearing a long hood and held a wooden stick, it loo
“Whoa! Everything looks so small from up here!”, Theo was enjoying his ride. From here he could see a vast area of forest and lots of water springs. He was even able to see birds flying way below them! “Right Master! If not for them we could have reached the destination by ourselves!” Ember replied with pride. “Hmm, but we aren't sure about the location and we shouldn’t leave them behind as well, we might need to warn them if something comes up! And one more thing.” As he replied she slowed a bit to hear him clearly, “Can you not call me ‘Master!’, It feels a bit weird. People might think you are a slave or something and I don’t want that, besides it’s a bit embarrassing.” Hearing him she chuckled a bit before replying,<
