Cough* Cough* Elethra coughed violently as he arrived in her room. Synthia appeared next to her and hurriedly helped her up as she asked, "What happened?" She was concerned, as there were not many in this realm that could harm her. "I saw everything." She muttered in a daze as she remembered looking into Neo's eyes for a moment, but that moment was an eternity for her. "You saw everything?" Synthia was confused as to what Elethra was talking about. But the violent fit of cough made her more concerned than confused. After some time, Elethra's pale face turned better as she sat on the bed looking ahead for a moment before shaking her head. "Neo took off his blindfold." "And?" "His eyes have captured the Event." This statement shocked Synthia as she these kinds of words were too heavy to even say out loud, but Elethra compared Neo's eyes to them. "Are you ok?" Elethra looked at her friend and smiled as she knew that Synthia didn't believe her, but that was ok as well because
"What is a Mythical Beast?" Neo asked as now he was curious. He saw Elethra shaking her head."All you'll hear is going to be gibrish and a lot of headache due to Tower's interference."{And I should be surprised about this?}Neo already expected something like that along the line, so he wasn't that much disappointed and asked, "Do you have any of those?""I have everything except the Essence of Twilight, as it goes bad in a day."Neo nodded and asked, "Can you give--""Okay"Neo didn't even complete his words and Elethra agreed to it, as what she received from him was something whose value she couldn't fathom.Neo smiled as he tried bowing but found himself straight as taut, unable to bow.{She's not letting me.}Neo stopped and just nodded as he said, "I owe you one more."He felt awkward even saying that, but he got nothing else except what he planned for her. But it was his gift, so it didn't count."Can you tell me where I can find this Essence of Twilight?"Elethra nodded as she
Neo's eyebrows shot in surprise as he didn't expect their trial to give them this significant benefit, but he didn't know the pain that they went through. Neo, meanwhile, was sitting in the forge making a core for and even then Elethra was there to help him.Mira pouted as she said, "That's because Lady Myra had extra unallocated points, but I didn't.""Oh, here." Neo waved his hand, and a pile of Essence spheres appeared before them. Mira looked at the cores in surprise and wanted to refuse them, but Neo had already started moving. She didn't have the storage space skill, so she asked Myra to keep them.Lightning flowed through him. Blaze said, "Then keep up."The girls felt Neo charge up in lightning as he disappeared from their sight.Boom* Boom* Boom*They heard trees being incinerated into nothingness as Blaze charged through them."Ow!"He didn't expect the lightning to make his speed this much and the result, multiple trees got blasted.Myra and Mira arrived next to him and saw
The group arrived back in the city, panting. The girls were still in shock as they didn't expect the monster to be of that high level and also felt a relief wash over him. They didn't try to enter the forest recklessly, otherwise their lives would've been forfeited. "Sorry about that." Neo said as their drained, and panting face came to his vision. He just compromised their safety, but he also didn't expect the boss monster to be a centipede. Elethra didn't mention that. {And she sent the flappy bird to help.} Neo saw Myra shaking her head and saying, "No, we also needed to see that. It helped us to keep our feet on ground." Mira nodded too, as she felt she had gotten an awakening call. She felt complacent that she was a 1st rank evolver but seeing that huge centipede made her know how small that achievement was. Just then, she felt a hand on her head that ruffled her hair. "Don't beat yourself too hard, that was just bad luck," Blaze said as he nodded toward Myra and walked tow
Neo was surprised as he looked toward her, not expecting such words from her. Elethra also felt a little strange as those words came out involuntarily. "Golden and black lightning are present up there and even with complete immunity, they'll tear you apart." Elethra pointed toward the sky as she said that, Neo looked up and saw the thunderclouds that rumbled as if responding to Elethra. He looked up for a while before turning toward Elethra and smiling. "I still have to go and get it." Elethra felt a little distressed and tried persuading him out of this as she knew the danger of the Golden and Black lightning, but Neo didn't budge as this was his class quest, and he had to complete it to evolve. Elethra thought for a moment and sighed as she said, "Wait for me." As she left the room, Neo played with Psyche as it circled around him and Bolt, who jumped to catch her, but she always flew up when he tried. A harmonious scene was played with Nebulae standing there as a guard. Neo t
Neo penetrated the clouds and appeared above the clouds. He found more clouds above him and the white lightning slowly started changing color as he moved up. The clouds above seemed to churn and swirl with otherworldly energy, crackling and rumbling with the power of the tempest. Bolts of lightning streaked across the vast expanse, branching and intertwining in mesmerizing patterns. Each discharge carried a unique hue. Neo flew above the place where the Twilight and Storm forest met, as this was the place where Golden and Black lightning were, according to Elethra. As Neo soared through the storm-filled skies, his wings unfurled with grace and purpose. They were not mere appendages to be flapped, but extensions of his will and lightning that coursed through them. With a subtle adjustment of his body and a shift of his consciousness, the wings responded, slicing through the air effortlessly. Rather than traditional flapping, the wings moved in a fluid motion, like the ebb and flow
He covered himself with his wings and gulped it down before again starting the excruciating process of getting zapped by the golden and black lightning. {Damn you. Who made such a masochistic evolution quest?} This process went on for 5 hours and Blaze felt every cell of his body filled with black and golden lightning, fighting for supremacy and destroying it in the process. His blood and marrow, everything was getting incinerated by the lightning, and he even wondered how he was even alive as his consciousness was hanging by a thread like his wings that were literally incinerated as only a body structure was left behind because of every feather getting destroyed by the lightning. {It just let me come to a conclusion that those feathers are not the ones that are keeping me afloat, but the structure itself is helping me in doing that.} "W-why am I s-still thinking about t-that?" Neo said as he gritted his teeth as he kept a hold over his consciousness, waiting for the bars to fill
Neo wanted to ask if that was true but scraped the idea as he didn't want to be a wall decoration again. "Come." Elethra walked into the living room, telling Neo to follow along, which he did, and found tea and a couple of snacks waiting for him. He sat down and took the tea, but Elethra looked at him with a strange look. Neo was puzzled but then looked at her, looking at his body, and realized that he was still half naked. He scratched his head awkwardly as he stood up and took out a shirt, but Elethra waved her hand and a complete dress appeared before him. It had a long trench coat, a turtleneck, a vest, pants, a pair of sturdy boots, and a matching belt. The turtleneck shirt was made of a soft and breathable fabric in a deep shade of charcoal gray. It fit snugly around Neo's neck, providing comfort and warmth. The shirt added a touch of elegance to his overall appearance. The vest complemented the turtleneck shirt perfectly. It was crafted from a rich, dark leather material w
He strolled with Selene, empty streets, crickets chirping, a peaceful wind blowing and the stars and moon in the sky gave the whole stroll a romantic feeling. Neo and Selene kept walking as he held her hand, a sweet smile on Selene's smile, which could melt even the Nether Iceberg. Neo felt a strange peace and said to her, "Thank you." They arrived at a small hill, waves crashing against its foot. Selene used her hand and slowly put the waving hair behind her ear, asking, "What for?" "Everything." "Didn't you already thank me?" "But it's still not enough." Neo sat down. Selene followed as she grasped his shoulder and put his head over her lap. A smile followed as she used her hand to massage her head. "You charmed me with this." A small chuckle left her mouth as she laughed lightly. Selene was a person who was conservative and that followed with her emotions as well, as she showed too little of them to anyone unless she was alone with Neo, as a smile could always be observed wh
"Kyrie, we need some information." (A/N Kyrie [Κύριε] means sir in ancient Greek.)"What would you like to know about?" Nikolaos asked as he took them to his house. His wife was preparing a meal for them as they sat down.Selene offered to help with preparing the meal, but Nikolas’s wife refused to let her do by telling them that making the guests work was frowned upon in their custom, which let her stop insisting."Is there any ship that sails to the depths?"Nikolaos smile vanished when he heard that and looked at Neo with a creased forehead, lines forming over it. He wanted to ask if Neo was joking, but seeing his calm face, which showed no lack of confidence; it showed no sign of any joke; he was serious."I don't think any ship here would even think about going to the outer circle, let alone the deep.""Why?”Neo asked; he became curious now. There were a lot of anomalies here, like everyone he met or saw till now were non-evolvers. Even the guards patrolling the area were only o
"Man, it's been over a year now." "Well, that's to be expected from that kind of difficulty." "Still, to challenge 10 Fables and still survive till now is unbelievable." "We are talking about the White Devil. He's bound to be that powerful." The blond guy with a giant sword on his back took a drag as he puffed the smoke out and said, "He wiped an entire household in one night. Staying alive should be easy-peasy for him." "I don't understand. From what the reports and news says, he is only a first rank evolver." "And?" "How can someone who just started learning the ropes could kill people from the family that have evolvers of stage 3 and 4 protecting them?" The other guy, who was wearing a hood and a pair of daggers on waist, said as he took a sip from the bottle. He still felt that the story was full of holes. "I don't know, man, but I heard he had an item that could change the shape of his weapon on his command plus the skill that caused white and red smoke coming out of his

His attention was quickly grabbed by the connection of the Veresa world, or the Veresa continent, whichever it was, to the tower.{I don't remember doing anything like that.}'Might be that the Tower used us to connect to tha
Selene looked at Michael's frenzied look and then toward Neo, who was also looking at him with furrowed eyebrows, and said, “This would’ve been me if you weren’t there.” Selene remembered Neo’s anger when he grabbed a person by the jaws and tore his lower jaw before grabbing his spine and tore it out of his body. She shuddered when she remembered the bloodbath that took place at the Oswald household. A hand grasped hers, and she felt a warmth spreading through her body and came out of her thoughts. "Thank you." A smile appeared on her face when she heard that. Bang* Michael was finally sent back as Gresda took hold of his fading consciousness and used everything to get him off of his chest and panted, his head regenerating back. Even if he was immortal, he still felt pain. "You bastard! How are you still alive?" He looked at Michael. That bullet could've easily killed him in a matter of seconds, but just like Neo, he was also alive, which was impossible as the bullet was infuse
“Papa!” A little girl with twin-tail hair, big doll-like eyes, adorable dimples, and a beaming smile rushed to her father, Michael. He, too, smiled warmly, reaching out to lift her off the ground and twirl her around, making the little one laugh out loud. Her infectious laughter filled the cozy little house as they shared this joyful moment together. They kept on going until he heard a rebuke from Emma, making him stop. A warm smile was present on Emma's face when she saw the father-daughter duo playing and laughing. She walked slowly toward them as she saw the little girl getting down from Michael's embrace, still dizzy, but then ran around with Michael running after her as her giggles echoed in the house. She then hid behind her as she laughed and looked at Michael sneakily, who also stopped before Emma and gave her a warm smile, Emma picked the little girl and brought her in front of Michael as she asked, "So how should we punish her? Should we summon the tickle monster?" "Noooo
Seated upon the broken throne was a man with golden hair and eyes that seemed to glimmer with an otherworldly light. He gazed around, his expression unreadable, as if contemplating the echoes of an era. "Ugh, why did I have to agree to such a long period? I was already done in the first ten." He sat there, looking at the monster moving around mindlessly. "I wonder how high my view count is?" After entering this world, not only was his level suppressed to Level 99, he also lost contact with the other side. He knew it would happen, but he was bored now because his competitor died the moment he entered this continent, while the other one could not wake up unless someone opened the box. He had put a formation in that box, so if anyone opened it, he'd know. "This is boring." He said, slumping down on the throne with a lazy expression on his face. "Oh really? Let's make it fun then." A voice came next from the throne. Before he could do anything, a foot landed on him and he felt som
Everyone was looking at the beauty that just killed the "immortal" like it was an everyday walk for her, along with the words that she uttered while doing so cemented this thought in their mind."Where is he?"Selene asked Kenneth, who was also looking at her, taking some time to close his mouth, that was opened wide, and this was the first for him. He reeled in his astonishment and knew what the lady was asking about. He pointed toward a carriage, and the next instant that carriage blew into pieces and a body appeared before everyone. It was Neo's body that was suspended in the air with an old man sitting next to him, who was just as confused and was about to take action, but stopped when he heard the beautiful lady’s voice."Thank you."Selene said as she put her hand on Neo’s body and could feel a pulse so weak that it felt like it would go out in the next instant.She smiled ruefully. One can see her hands twitching when she put them over his heart and could feel a bullet penetrat
A warm light embraced their lost companions as they started disintegrating, and the golden motes of light started moving up, dispersing into the air.Kenneth looked at the dispersion motes of light before moving away toward the gate. He put his hand over it, trembling a little. Even a sturdy tree would shake when the strong winds blowing.He took a deep breath and focused. He could feel a dense amount of death energy in the room.Likewise, he started mumbling as he chanted in a low voice, and after its completion, he could see what was inside the room.What he saw made him raise his eyebrow in surprise as the room was fully covered in ice, like they entered an ice palace and in the center of the room was an ice coffin. He tried looking into the coffin, but his spell couldn't penetrate it, but he found the thing that they were looking for."How is it?"Emma arrived next to him, followed by Maria, Seth, Michael, and others."The Lich is not inside."This made them heave a relieved sigh,
