............"Everything, young Miss. Your brother is none other than the person chosen by God Elandor himself, so he is God's Heir and our Lord," Astrid and Phia said in unison, their voices carrying a weight of reverence that made Aria's eyes widen in astonishment."And just as you are thinking, he is second only to God Elandor himself to us. Since God Elandor cannot descend to this mortal world, our Lord, your dear brother, is the very person we worship with utmost respect and loyalty. Everything in this world is his to command," Phia tone was filled with sincerity as she emphasized the profound devotion they held for their Lord."Ahh...this is something else. I need to sort this out, seriously. My dear brother has gotten involved with something absurd!" Aria exclaimed, holding her head in her hands as she gestured for them to stop giving her creeps.She muttered anxiously, becoming worried about her brother's involvement in what seemed like a crazy situation.Aria had no idea how
............"Hey, you morons who don't know what's good for you, do you want us to kick you two out, or are you going to fuck off on your own?" The guards stared them down, speaking in unison, causing the brothers' bodies to shake with rage. It was the first time they had ever been so humiliated.Both brothers felt a burning desire to make these bastards suffer before tossing them into the river to become fish food."Brother, let's go. I remember there's a back door we can use to get in," the first young man said, nudging his brother to leave.No matter how much they argued, staying here would only lead to more humiliation if the guards decided to get rough and throw them out."Hahahaha! Worthless trash!" As they left, the mocking words and laughter followed them, echoing in the shop."They're gonna regret it. I'll make them pay for humiliating us!" Both brothers muttered and cursed the guards and the receptionist as they moved away with their quick steps."It should be here..." Bo
............"Grrr... Are you playing with me...!" Darius couldn't control his anger, gritting his teeth and glaring furiously at Isla DeVere. His fists clenched at his sides, knuckles turning white with the intensity of his emotions."Hehe... it's very fun to get a reaction out of you...!" Isla chuckled at his reaction, a mischievous glint in her eyes as she leaned back in her chair, seemingly unfazed by Darius's anger."Wait... wait... Ms. DeVere and Brother, calm down and let me talk." Damien intervened, his voice calm but firm as he tried to diffuse the tension in the room.He placed a reassuring hand on Darius's shoulder, urging him to relax."Ms. DeVere, I'm sorry we interrupted your fun, but we were in a pickle, as you saw. Our Blackthorn family was raided by the police a while ago, and we're the only ones who managed to escape. Everyone else should be in prison by now," Damien Blackthorn apologized and explained what had happened to their family."Oh, something like that happ
............"Bam... Step... Step...!" Suddenly, the door burst open, and five men stormed into the room, wielding batons and stun guns.Their movements were swift and coordinated as they zeroed in on the drunken idiots, ready to put them in sleep before capturing them."Wh-who...ar-are...Bammm...Zzzz!" Before Darius and Damien knew what hit them, two men aimed their batons at their heads. They felt a noise and then a sudden buzz in their brains, followed by electric current shining from their stomachs."Thud....Thud...!" Both fell down, eyes rolled back, before five men stopped and wiped the sweat from their foreheads."What's the need to hit their heads like that? What if they become idiots from your attacks?" The last man, who had kept silent while observing, chided the two men who aimed their batons at them."Fuck...who cares about that, now let's just bind their hands," the two who hit them said with indifferent gestures before tying Darius and Damien's hands with rope."Alright
............Just then, the wild man slowed down, his movements becoming sluggish before he collapsed to the ground, as if his strings had been cut."Whoa...there...!" The second man shook his head, feeling the soreness and pain from the intense encounter before shrugging it off."Hmmn, he's quite tenacious, still breathing even after using the corrupted knife," the first man commented as he knelt beside the fallen wild man, checking his pulse with a furrowed brow."Next time, give me a heads-up before we get into this kind of situation," the other man grumbled, rubbing his sore wrist."Hey, calm down. He didn't manage to harm you, did he?" the first man reasoned, holding up his hands in a placating gesture."Still, it would've been nice to know. If I hadn't worn this bangle, my hand would've been broken," the other man retorted, his frustration evident as he glanced at his reddened arm."Alright, alright, I'll remember next time," the first man conceded, understanding his companion'
............"You...!" They both looked at each other with surprised expressions, taken aback."What are you doing here, Ms. Officer?" Aarav was surprised to see her. He wondered how this lady knew his address and what she was doing in his house. He couldn't help but think she was here to cause trouble."You...you...!" Aeliana stammered, as she was not only surprised but also taken aback, hearing him call Aria his sister and seeing Phia and Astrid's respectful attitude towards him. Her mind stopped working for a few seconds.She pointed at him with a shaky finger, unable to believe that the person she had been searching for all over the city was right in front of her, and she had encountered him multiple times without realizing he was her Lord.She wanted to smash her head against the wall or dig a hole to jump into. 'Ohh...God...why did I do that..!' She kept cursing herself as she didn't know what to say to him now, remembering her previous disrespectful behavior towards him. H
............Five days later,"Mommy...mommy, look, that uncle is doing something weird with his hands!" A little child, not older than 5 years old, tugged on his mother's hand as he pointed at a middle-aged man standing nearby.The man was moving his hand around in a clockwise motion before returning it back, repeating the action a few times.The child looked at him curiously, pulling his mother's hand to get her attention."Ah, come on, cutie, don't disturb mommy. I'm talking with your Dad here!" The mother warmly nudged the child, trying to focus on her phone call with her husband. She glanced briefly at the man, noting his strange behavior before returning her attention to her call.Meanwhile, the man standing nearby was engaged in conversation through his AirPods. "Yes, I am done with my position. I am setting up another core point 100 meters away. Yes...yes, please don't worry, others should be done with their positions too by now!"After finishing his task, the man moved on
............"Swish...!" Suddenly, a sound cut through the silence, catching Aarav's attention and heightening his senses as he prepared for whatever might come next."Bammn...Crashhh...!" Aarav swiftly sidestepped just in time to avoid whatever had flown past him.As he turned to inspect the source of the noise, he was taken aback by what he saw. A short black gleaming knife hung in the wall, its impact shattering glass and scattering wooden splinters."Clap...clap, not bad, you reacted quite well!" A sarcastic voice accompanied the clapping sounds, drawing Aarav's attention to a figure emerging from the inner office of the café."Well, that should be expected from the God's Heir, isn't that right, Lord Aarav Veridian!" Another voice chimed in, causing Aarav's senses to sharpen as he realized that these newcomers were aware of his true identity."Huh...you." Aarav's voice held a tinge of surprise as he pointed his finger at the familiar face among the two newcomers."Hahaha, what a
............Emilia's thunderous encouragement made her men roar and hold their shields high before a large dome-shaped barrier was released by all the defenders standing on the city outskirts.As the enemy surged forward with deafening roars, the defenders braced themselves.The first clash of the enemy landed on the barrier spread out like a blanket over them and the city, keeping them safe from the initial onslaught. The healers stood behind, weaving their spells with practiced precision, ready to assist if the enemy breached the barrier and clashed with the defenders.Amid the chaos, Emilia’s gaze remained steady. "I won't let you pass and destroy my homeland, where I worked hard to create a peaceful and loving family.".....Back in The The Realm of Elandor,Capital City, Eldoria,"My Lord, the heir of the Goddess Astraia has arrived and is expecting your presence. She seems distressed!" Cardinal Gabriel announced as he entered the vast library where Aarav was deeply engrossed i
............"What... do you know them? Who are they?" Emilia asked in a serious tone, hearing that Aria was familiar with the attackers."Yes... these are the same people who attacked Elandor's domain a while back. And I am pretty sure you can guess whose forces these are," Aria said with a contemplative look before she gave a glance at Emilia, who seemed to understand what Aria was trying to point out."I know... looks like we can’t overlook it any longer. Lady Aria, may I request you to get reinforcements, as I am not sure about the extent of the destruction these forces can cause in our land?" Emilia nodded, her face turning even graver before she bowed towards Aria and made her request."Please, you don't have to request it from me. I will help you either way, as it's also a threat to our land. While I go and gather reinforcements, can you hold on for a while?" Aria asked, stopping Emilia from bowing to her as she smiled in determination and agreed immediately."Yes, we will hol
............"You will be even more amazed, Lady Emilia, if you meet Lord Veridian in person. He is an amazing Divine Heir of God Elandor, from how he conducts himself to the way he carries the light with him," Aria said with respect in her tone, showing how great an impression Aarav Veridian had left on her."Now I am even more eager to meet Lord Veridian. Let's hope he is as great as your words describe him to be," Emilia said with a slight smile, raising the corner of her mouth as she met Aria's eyes, who returned her gaze with a confident stare.After that, Aria and Emilia talked about their plans—how they were going to weather the upcoming storm.The discussion went on for hours before they decided to walk out of the temple."By the way, Lady Emilia, if you are busy and have something important to attend to, then you don't have to personally accompany me," Aria said as she walked alongside Emilia, who had decided to show her around their capital city, Phelia."No way, Lady Aria.
............“LORD HEIR!” The crowd cheered again, even louder this time. Aarav raised his hand, gesturing for silence.“Alright, alright,” he said with a smile. “I get your enthusiasm. But we don’t just need high spirits—we need unity. We need all of you to step forward together, to face this reality as one and bring about a bright future.”His voice was filled with fervor, carrying a weight that seemed to stir the very air around them. The believers of Elandor below shook with goosebumps, feeling the power in Aarav’s words, which were infused with a subtle trace of Divine Energy.Aarav had intended to boost their morale—and it worked far better than he had expected. The crowd stood straighter, their faith and the fire burning brighter than ever.Aarav looked at the crowd one last time before waving to them. He stepped down from the podium and returned to discuss their next steps with the Pope and Cardinals.He wasn’t the only one making preparations. As Aria had promised him, she a
............A sudden, overwhelming pressure exploded from the throne, sending him hurtling through the air and crashing into one of the tree’s thick branches outside the temple."Cough, cough...!!" The High Prophet spat blood but slowly made his way back into the temple. Kneeling once again, he showed no anger or frustration at being injured—only trembling fear in the face of the figure’s fury on the throne.Sylas’s eyes, glowing with an unnatural light, cut through the darkness as he sat motionless on the throne, his presence suffocating. The High Prophet of Pestilence didn’t dare lift his head. The air around them was thick with the stench of rot and corruption, heavy with a crushing pressure.“Elandor’s Heir... and the Heir of Astraia,” Sylas muttered, his voice filled with disdain. “How dare she interfere in my plans?”His words echoed, each one pressing down harder on the High Prophet. Silence followed, broken only by the distant howling wind outside the temple. The elder remai
............“Thank you,” Aria replied, her movements graceful as she took a seat across from him. Between them stood a small circular table, with a basket of snacks and fruit placed in the center, adding a touch of warmth to the room’s otherwise solemn atmosphere."Mr. Aarav, what are your plans regarding the cultists? I’m certain they won’t stop invading this continent and causing chaos," Aria asked, sitting back in a relaxed position, her eyes steady on him.Aarav sighed, his tone dim and unconfident. "What can I do alone? Even with the Crystal Healing Organization backing me, I’m not confident in facing those lunatic cultists." He spoke with a heaviness, aware of the overwhelming power he had witnessed in their last battle.He knew his own limitations. The devastation left by the cultists was a harsh reminder. Even Pope Aurelius, with all his influence, wouldn’t be enough to turn the tide. Aarav understood that unless he reached the fourth stage, the *Virtuoso of Vitality*, he wo
............"Ah... thank you! And how should I address you?" Aarav quickly snapped out of his daze, expressing his gratitude before asking with a respectful tone."Aria... Heir to the Goddess of Stars, Astraia. It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Heir..." Aria smiled, her face radiant like a flower blooming under the soft glow of moonlight. The sight made Aarav's heart race uncontrollably."Aarav... it's just Aarav, Miss Aria. Please, don't be so formal; it makes me feel uncomfortable." He interrupted her before she could speak too respectfully again, gently requesting that she call him by his name instead.Aarav didn’t want to come off like some spoiled young master, or as if they were stuck in some ancient civilization that hadn’t learned how to speak casually about simple things."Oh... alright, Mr. Aarav." Aria seemed a little surprised but then covered her mouth and chuckled. "Fufu...You don’t seem to like the ancient etiquette, do you?"Her soft laughter filled the air, the warm
............"Enough of this!" One of the cultists yelled, raising his hand into the air. A dark aura began swirling around him, corrupting the very energy in the atmosphere. The others followed, channeling the same malevolent force, preparing for a combined attack.Aarav could feel the shift—their power was immense. He flinched, sensing the ominous energy closing in around him."You think that’ll be enough to get rid of me?" Aarav’s voice cut through the tension. "You’ve forgotten who you're dealing with."As the dark energy swirled and gathered, Aarav took a deep breath and raised his weapon high. The blade gleamed with a blinding light, and the ground trembled under his feet as his divine power flared to life."Let me show you what true divine power looks like," Aarav declared, his voice steady. With one decisive motion, he shattered the one-use divine tool he carried, instantly replenishing the lost energy within him.And then, with explosive force, he unleashed it."Craaack... B
............"Clanngg....Boomnn...!!""Swiish....Bammn...!!""Ahh... Cough... Cough...!" Aarav took another relentless hit, sliding back a few steps before losing his balance and dropping to one knee, blood dripping from his mouth."Hahaha... Elandor's Heir, already broken? I was hoping to play with you some more!" The bald cultist cackled, his words dripping with contempt.Aarav wiped the blood from his lips, smirking. "Feeling smug, huh? It’s just a scratch, nothing worth mentioning." He rose to his feet, his body glowing as the injury healed instantly, as though it never existed.The cultist's eyes widened, then his expression twisted with anger. "Damn it! I forgot Elandor is the God of Healing and Medicine!" Realizing his mistake, fury replaced his shock, and he lunged at Aarav in a blind rage, furious at being humiliated.Aarav's smile turned cold. "Heh, let me show you what else I can do," he muttered under his breath."Swishhh... Whoosh...!!"The cultist attacked wildly, but A
