Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 76: The Manticore
Chapter 76: The ManticoreThe sun rays penetrated through the windows after the nurse raised the curtains, causing them to shine on Kael's face.Kael was still sleeping with his head resting on the stretcher as he sat on the chair. He had watched over Freya throughout the night, only falling asleep just before morning.The nurse hesitated to wake him up and instead went closer to check on Freya. She was surprised to see that Freya was now healthy, though she hadn't woken up yet.Kael had saved her with an elixir of unknown origin, but the nurse was glad he had been able to save her.Freya's eyelids slowly parted as her gaze fell on the white ceiling. She sat up instantly, feeling so energetic that it startled the nurse.She tilted her gaze, and it fell on the sleeping Kael, causing her to bite her lower lip. She knew for sure that it was Kael who had revived her, affirming her decision to make him her master."How are you feeling now?" the nurse asked, drawing her attention back to re

Chapter 77: The Manticore II"I can't give you my life," Kael retorted."It's not your choice to make," she said, folding her fist, causing Kael's eyes to widen. He was gasping for air.Suddenly, they heard a loud commotion meters away, and the lady arched a brow."What's going on there? Stay here, boy. I'll be back," she patted his shoulder before leaving him there while he struggled to free himself.He stood there for more than five minutes before Mei Ling and Dogo came to his rescue.The three journeyed into the woods, looking for the student who had poisoned Freya.---A female figure was seen running in the woods. She was running with nothing in sight. Nothing was chasing her, and she wasn't chasing anything either. She was just running. Her feet pounded against the earthy trail, her breathing rhythmic and steady. She had been running for what felt like hours, but she knew it was only a fraction of that. The sun filtering through the canopy above cast dappled shadows on the fores
Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 78: Walking Towards Trap
Chapter 78: Walking Towards TrapKael hadn't attended classes for the past few days. He had been busy solving some overwhelming issues. Freya was still recovering, and he couldn't wait for her to resume her duty as his Servant. He enjoyed her service and every bit of her time. He was happy he was able to save her from the hands of the Queens.The death of the Queens was the trending news in the whole of Nevermore Academy. It was rumored that they were killed by some unknown monster.And it was true; they were killed by the Red King Dire. He made sure their death was a disastrous one.But Mei Ling had his suspicions about Kael but kept them to himself. He knew Kael was hiding something and vowed to find out.Kael woke up late today, so he dressed quickly, putting on his new uniform. He ran out of his room, leaving Dogo behind. Dogo was still sleeping peacefully, not even bothered to dress, and this puzzled Kael, but he shrugged it off.He rushed to the class and found out that it was e

Chapter 79: Shadows in the Forest He ran with precision and focus. It was as if he knew where he was heading to, and indeed he did. He already picked up the scent of Gareld and was following it into the woods. He freed his body as he leapt into the air, matching a tree as he twirled, releasing his magical essences.A red aura hovered all around him as his presence shook the whole forest. It was so intimidating that the birds in the sky fell down dead."There you are," he screamed out loudly as he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and increased his steps tenfold, aiming for a slash-through-the-stomach when Gareld quickly noticed him.Gareld sighed before jumping into the air and flipping backward, landing behind Kael, who turned instantly, blocking his attack with the sword. The sound of their metal resounded through the forest."I knew you were going to come, but you made a mistake by coming alone," Gareld said, looking straight into Kael's eyes when Kael smirked."I alone could

Chapter 80: What's mine Kael staggered back, almost falling but regain his stance. His heart pounded as he assessed the three newcomers. Each of them exuded an aura of power and menace, their presence sending a chill down his spine. He knew he was in for the fight of his life.The leader stepped forward, their cloak billowing in the wind. "I'm Draven," he said, his voice cold and commanding. "And these are my comrades, Seraph and Nyx. We're here for the Infernal Beast."Kael's eyes narrowed. "You think you can take it from me?" he growled, his manticore form bristling with fury.Draven smirked, his eyes gleaming with malice. "We're more than capable," he said, drawing his sword. Seraph and Nyx followed suit, their blades glinting in the dim light.Gareld, still on the ground, looked up at his allies, a flicker of hope in his eyes. "Kael, you don't stand a chance against all of us," he taunted, struggling to his feet.Kael didn't respond, his focus solely on the battle ahead. He tight
Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 81 [The Savior]
Chapter 81 [The Savior] "How dare you hurt what's mine?" Kael heard the familiar voice when he recognized the voice instantly. It was the lady he had accidentally seen naked the previous day. She stood tall and unyielding, her aura radiating immense power. Kael's eyes widened in recognition and surprise."Who are you?" Draven demanded, struggling to his feet.The lady's eyes locked onto Draven with cold intensity. "I'm Althea, a Nexus Mage and a 1-star Luminous Paragon. I bet you know what that mean.""You're just bluffing. how can a girl like you be in Luminous Paragon. Don't get in our way and we won't hurt you." Draven said to her and she scoffed. "I'm sure you're not deaf when I said he's mine. His life belongs to me." She cried out. Kael's eyes widened in surprise. He remembered the brief, awkward encounter with her, but he had no idea she possessed such power. Althea's aura pulsed with demonic energy, her stance radiating confidence.With a swift motion, Althea raised her ha

Chapter 82: The IntimacyKael was tired when he got back to Nevermore Academy. It was already nightfall, and the moon cast his shadow in the hallway. Althea had frustrated his life to the extent that he almost thought of harming her.His mind was filled with different thoughts as he staggered towards his room."Kael," he heard a familiar voice call out to him. He tilted his head to see Dogo approaching. A smile formed on his face as he tried hard to compose himself before he started thinking nonsense."I've been waiting for a while. I thought something bad happened to you," Dogo said, tapping his shoulder."No. I'm fine. I told you I can take on Gareld. He's a small fry for me," Kael boasted."Are you trying to brag or what?" Dogo arched a brow."Ain't doing nothing of such, brother," Kael defended."I see you trying to brag about your success because you possess some magic skills, but that doesn't change the fact that you're a 3-star..."Dogo paused immediately after turning towards

The Next Morning**Kael woke up late as usual, but this time he had a headache. He sat up on the bed, the events of the previous day lingering in his mind."Oh no... What have I done?" he asked himself as he flung the bedsheets aside and jumped out of bed, realizing he was naked. This was not his bed; it was Dogo's. He hadn't slept in his own bed the previous night.The door to the room opened, and Kael quickly grabbed the bedsheets as Freya entered with a smile on her face.She looked beautiful, dressed in her uniform and holding a tray of food."Oops. You're awake. I guess I'm late then," she said, dropping the tray on the table at the right corner of the room. Kael studied her expression; she had a calm look as if nothing had happened."Freya, how are you feeling now?" asked Kael, and she smiled broadly."I'm doing fine, Master, thanks to you. I never knew you'd go the extra mile even though you learned the poison was incurable," she said, and Kael chuckled."That was nothing, Frey

"Get up Kael.. You'll be late to class again." Dogo said, tapping his shoulder. "Allow me to sleep a little bit, just a little bit." Kael protested using the pillow to cover his head when Dogo jumped on the pillow, landing with his butt on it. "I heard an old student of Nevermore Academy has returned.. The most beautiful maiden in the Magic Department." Dogo said with smiles on his face. "And how's that my own business?" Kael groaned from underneath the pillow and Dogo chuckled, rising to his feet. "Everything about it is your business." He said amidst chuckling and walked out of the room. Kael laid on the bed for more than 10 minutes before finally getting on his feet and walked into the bathroom. Within 30 minutes, he had finished dressing up and then proceed towards the class. "I haven't eaten for long." He grumbled, holding his stomach as he managed and enter the class only to interrupt the Teacher's teaching. "Good Morning Ma." He greeted absentmindedly causing the studen

Chapter 87: Copy Cat II
Kael’s poison resistance skill helped him nullify the poison, and as he got to his feet, Elder Qin emerged from the root cage with sharp talons in place of fingers.Elder Qin charged wildly at Kael, who punched the earth hard, throwing sand into the air. This didn't affect Elder Qin, who clawed his way through the sand, advancing toward Kael's stomach. Kael didn't see him coming as the claw slashed his shirt, ripping off his clothes and causing him to crash to the ground."Flower Magic: Gerit Trapatea," Elder Qin chanted, causing flowers to grow from the ground and trap Kael’s legs and arms, immobilizing him."You can't win against me, Kael. Not in this life. Not this way," Elder Qin said, walking up to him with the intent of finishing him off. But as he advanced, his bones started to crack.The rain had stopped drizzling as his talons grew longer, and he fell on all fours as his backbone crawled out of his back.Elder Qin was transforming, and Kael knew it.

"We are both Nexus Mages, but while you're at the Middle Stage of the Radiant Adept, I am at the Last Stage of the Radiant Adept. I'm afraid to say, Kael Stoneforge, the price of the antidote is your life, and you're going to pay for it in a brutal way," Kael heard the voice of Elder Qin as the cave wall cracked heavily, releasing overwhelming magical essences into the air."Freya, get up and find a place to hide. I'll show this guy why I'm called Kael," Kael screamed out loud as he released his own overwhelming essence into the air, summoning his sword to him.He charged at Elder Qin at once, who summoned a staff into his grip, countering Kael's attack with it. Kael glared hard as he pressed against the staff, causing his blade to break through it. Elder Qin made the staff vanish, ducking to avoid Kael's blow, which swung through the air instead. In that moment, Elder Qin planted a kick on Kael's chin, sending him soaring through the air and crashing into the cave wall before slumpin

Chapter 85: The Invitation
[Two Hours Later]Kael was heading towards his room after fruitlessly waiting for Freya. He had been in the library, occupying himself with books and waiting for her to show up, but she didn't.He thought of heading to the restroom but dismissed the idea. He decided to head home instead.He turned the doorknob and found that the door was locked. It was strange not to find Dogo home by this time of day. His suspicion arose as he input his passkey and entered the room.As expected, it was empty, but something felt strange to him."Someone has been here," he said to himself, sniffing the air. He was perceiving a scent... a scent different from that of Dogo or Freya.He squinted his eyes around the room and found a letter lying on the bed. He quickly rushed and picked it up. It was a letter of invitation.He opened it and read the contents aloud, "If you want your servant, come to the cave in the woods and come alone. The Qin Family.""Oh, fuck..." he gnashed his teeth as he clenched his

[Two Days Later]"You mean Kael did this?" Qin Chun asked with a shocked expression."Yes, he did. He sabotaged our plan and exposed Qin Meng to the authorities of Nevermore Academy. Qin Meng is now a prisoner at the Academy, and he also shattered the bones of Qin Feng," Jahel answered Qin Chun as they both stood on the rooftop of Nevermore Academy, watching the students move around."Kael has caused a lot of trouble for us. It's high time we put him in his place," Qin Chun added with a frown."Kael isn't just any student. He's a noble and the heir of the House Stoneforge of the Armed Nation of Dwargon, and you're aware of the relationship between the Western Nation. Kael's not someone we can just rashly attack," Jahel revealed, causing Qin Chun to let out a sigh."We won't attack him rashly. We are going to invite him over.""Invite him over? Only a fool would accept the invitation of his enemy," Jahel stated, causing Qin Chun to chuckle."Send word to all members of the Qin Family
