............"What brings you here, Mr. Veridian, to our humble home?" Allen's tone was filled with curiosity, his eyes studying Aarav intently. He couldn't fathom Aarav visiting without a purpose.In Allen's perception, Aarav didn't fit the mold of someone who made casual visits. He remained a mysterious presence, leaving them intrigued and unable to fully grasp his intentions."Nothing much, I thought I should pay you guys a visit as I am leaving this city indefinitely," Aarav replied in a soft tone, observing their surprised expressions."Huh... you mean, you are moving to another city?" Maya asked, her voice tinged with shock."Yeah, I am moving to another city along with my sister," Aarav confirmed, nodding."But... but... isn't this too sudden?" Maya muttered quietly before Allen intervened, stopping her from pressing for more details."So, Mr. Veridian, is there a problem in our city that you are moving out?" Allen asked, concerned that Aarav might have encountered some troubl
............"Ah... really? How did you find out?" Aarav nodded, but he was surprised because he hadn't told anyone about leaving the city, except for a few people."Forget that, when are you leaving and why? People here are concerned that they might have upset you and your sister!" Elder Bhagya asked, her tone filled with concern."Maybe tomorrow, and no... no one here has caused any trouble for me and my sister. Instead, you all have been very kind to us," Aarav said, shaking his head with a reassuring smile."Then why are you moving?" Elder Bhagya inquired."Well, Aria has recovered, so I was thinking about her education. I recently found out that my sister is very smart, so we're moving to a big city where she can attend a university with the best facilities," Sarah explained, her words reflecting Aarav's affection for his sister, making Elder Bhagya smile."Alright, everyone. Make some space. Aarav's leaving with a clear heart, so no need to worry. Just give your well wishes to
............"Wow, there are so many people ready to travel!" Aria exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement as she took in the bustling scene.As they settled into their seats after the passport and ticket check, Aarav, Aria, and Aeliana opted to wait together until it was time to board the plane."How much longer until our flight?" Aria asked eagerly, her impatience evident in her tone."Not much, just ten more minutes until our flight arrives," Aarav replied, glancing at the departure board."Aeliana, you really don't have to stay with us. You can go back to your duties," Aarav insisted, motioning towards the bustling airport."No, it's fine," Aeliana shook her head with a gentle smile, feeling a tug at her heart to savor a few more moments with her Lord before their departure. She cherished these precious moments in his company, knowing they would be apart for potentially months ahead.If it were just a few months ago, Aeliana wouldn't have believed that she could feel so atta
............"Mmmn," Aarav halted in his tracks, turning around to locate the source of the call."Who is this man? Do I know him?" Aarav muttered, observing a four-eyed man rushing towards him, trailed by security guards."Stop...wait...let me talk to Mr. Veridian, I meant no harm, please..." the man pleaded as the guards intercepted him, preventing him from reaching Aarav and pushing him to the ground."Mr. Veridian, do you remember me? It's me... we met at the Vasu Family Estate. I am Earl Hughes," he hurriedly addressed Aarav, hoping to jog his memory as Aarav regarded him with a puzzled expression."Oh, it's you. That arrogant prick!" Aarav's words cut through the air, causing Earl to wince at the harsh memory."Guards, I know this man. Don't worry, he won't cause any trouble. He's a reputable doctor. You can check his ID," Aarav assured the security guards, turning to them and urging them to verify Earl's identity before allowing him to go."Oh, he really is a doctor," one of t
............"Kyaaaa....Help...help, my grandpa, someone, Please...!" Aarav's attention snapped to a young lady standing beside the old man, her voice filled with panic as she called out for assistance."What...what...happened...!" The other passengers who were resting or chatting with each other, got startled and quickly turned their attention towards the source of the noise."Hey...calm down, Miss. What happened with the old man?" A few middle-aged men who were sitting nearby rushed over to help, trying to soothe the distressed young lady before asking about the old man's condition."I...I don't know, he's not waking up, and his body is shaking like crazy!" The young lady replied tearfully, her voice trembling with worry.Just then, three hostesses came running over, their faces filled with concern as they assessed the situation."Is he okay? What happened?" one of the hostesses asked, her voice filled with compassion as she knelt beside the old man, who seemed to be in distress."
............"Oh, please, do whatever you can!" the Captain urged, his voice tinged with desperation as he implored Aarav to intervene and help the old man.The Captain, anxious about any potential blame for the old man's fate staining his career, observed nervously.Meanwhile, Aarav made sure his sister was settled comfortably before turning his attention to the old man.He carefully checked his pulse using Divine Energy and looked into the old man's eyes for a bit.Then, Aarav placed his hand over the old man's heart and turned to the Captain, his expression grave."He's been poisoned, Captain," Aarav declared, his words sending a ripple of shock through the passengers. Some leaned in with heightened interest, sensing that there was more to the situation than met the eye."Poisoned? How could I have missed someone poisoning him when I've been sitting next to him this whole time?" The young lady looked at Aarav skeptically, doubting the validity of his claim.Aarav met her skeptica
............"But before we wrap things up, why don't I help you nab the culprit as well?" Aarav proposed, prompting the Captain and others to let out a sigh of relief and ease up. However, Aarav's words reignited the tension in the air."What... what do you mean, Dr. Veridian? Is the culprit here?" the Captain inquired, his vigilance sharpened by the seriousness in Aarav's tone, despite the hint of playfulness."Yes, I can smell the same odor among them as that poison," Aarav asserted, pointing towards the passengers in the cabin."What's his problem?" some people grumbled irritably as they felt the weight of suspicion fall on them for the attempted murder of the old man."No way, is the murderer among us?" a few older ladies gasped in panic at the thought of a killer being seated among them.The accused passenger began to make a fuss, causing a stir among the passengers. Observing this, the Captain furrowed his brow in contemplation before turning to Aarav for guidance."Dr. Veridi
............Aarav playfully remarked, "You know what I'm talking about..."Manwar Sen snapped back angrily, his face flushing with frustration, "Stop talking nonsense! I was at a hotel before catching this flight!""Oh, so you were at the hotel where the party was held. Do you remember the organizer's name?" Aarav jabbed casually, a mischievous glint in his eyes."No, how would I know his name? I was at a different hotel!" Manwar Sen replied, his tone growing sharper with each word."But I never said the organizer was a man," Aarav pointed out, a smirk forming on his lips as he watched Manwar's expression fall."You're just talking nonsense now!" Manwar Sen's voice rose in frustration, his hands balling into fists."Hahaha! If I'm talking nonsense, why are you getting so worked up?" Aarav laughed, retorting with a smirk."Aarav turned to the captain, signaling that he was done asking questions and it was time to arrest him. "Captain, do I still need to ask more? You can arrest him n
............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
