"Whoosh...!"

As Aarav opened the coffin where Astrid's mother, Liora, was sleeping soundly, a chill spread through the room. Aeliana almost yelped in surprise, feeling shivers run down her spine.

"What is this coffin... I feel chilly just standing near it!" Aeliana said in a shivering tone, her curiosity piqued.

"It's a treasure trove for keeping a comatose person's body healthy and intact," Astrid explained as she and Aarav helped her mother lay down on the bed.

"What kind of strange illness does she have?" Aeliana asked, looking at Liora's peaceful face. She seemed as though she was simply sleeping and might wake up at any moment.

"It's Eternal Slumber Syndrome, something I wasn't able to cure before," Aarav said as he checked Liora's pulse again, looking at a holographic screen that displayed the same information as the last time he saw it.

    ............She had indeed woken up from her eternal dream-like state; she wasn't dreaming anymore. She felt her heart swell and tears streamed down her face as she tried to sit up with difficulty."Mother...!" Astrid hugged her mother, helping her sit down properly."Astrid... dear...!" Liora hugged her daughter back, patting her on the back to comfort her, feeling her daughter's happiness.Phia, sitting on the couch, watched the mother-daughter pair comforting each other."Astrid... dear, where are we?" Liora asked as she caressed Astrid's head, letting her go, while observing the unfamiliar room."We are in Crystalbrook City, in our Lord's home!" Astrid replied, sitting beside her, smiling happily."Lord... Crystalbrook City." Liora understood which city she was in but looked confused hearing the word "Lord" from her daughter."Yes... Lord Divine Heir of God Elandor. Phia Lumara, Aeliana Chauhan, and I are serving under him," Astrid explained, seeing her mother's confusion."Ehh.

    ............"Are... are you rejecting my request?" Liora asked with a tearful expression, looking as though she might cry if he refused."No... no, I never said that!" Aarav quickly said, shaking his head, not wanting to make Astrid's mother sad."Really... then you accept my request? Haha, great... it’s great. Thank you, my Lord. I will serve you alongside my daughter and won't disappoint you." Liora’s expression changed from tearful to happy in an instant. Without giving Aarav a chance to explain, she cheerfully shook his hand, leaving him speechless at her boldness."Sigh... fine... fine!" Aarav let out a sigh and accepted her request. He couldn't make her sad, even if she was exaggerating. Besides, dealing with both her and her daughter would be more troublesome, so he just accepted it.He also knew she didn't have anywhere else to go. It was better for her to stay occupied rather than dwell on what happened with her husband or the Starcrest family. He didn't know how she'd feel

    ............Bishop Dominic settled back into his chair, his face showing a mix of exhaustion and urgency.Aarav noticed the lines of weariness etched on Dominic’s face, indicating a long and strenuous journey."I arrived late last night, My Lord. The situation in Quartzgate City has improved, but after Father Deniel started investigating those seven strange men, he discovered something that made us worry for our country's future," Dominic began, his voice heavy with concern.Aarav leaned forward, his interest piqued. "Tell me more, Bishop Dominic. What did Archbishop Deniel find out from the investigation?""He discovered that the attacks on Quartzgate City and the capital were carried out by two different foreign forces. He was certain of this, but further details are impossible to get as he can't track them; they have gone into hiding," Bishop Dominic reported."Hmm, this is troublesome. Does he have any clues at all, like symbols, pieces of weapons, or anything left behind by the

    ............If not for their Lord sharing his knowledge with them, she would still be ignorant of the more powerful foreign organizations in the world, organizations that could make their own cry tears of blood without being able to counterattack."I think you two need to go back to your families and learn everything you can from them. With the knowledge I've provided, I think they would make great progress in their strength, so you can learn a lot there," Aarav suggested, explaining his reasoning so they wouldn't think he was getting rid of them."Hmm, you are right, my Lord. We can't progress much on our own here, and we are not really useful to you, only making you worry. So we will follow your suggestion, my Lord," Phia acknowledged her weakness and nodded in agreement."My Lord, we aren't very helpful now, but we promise not to disappoint you in the future!" Aeliana vowed, her tone determined."Well, I never thought that you ladies ever disappointed me. Don't worry. You two, al

    ............"Sigh... my dear Astrid, how much you have endured because of your poor mother. I am sorry for all the pain I caused you." Liora became sad after hearing about her daughter's suffering.She hugged Astrid tightly, sobbing lightly as she apologized for all the pain Astrid had to endure."No, Mother. It's fine... you don't have to apologize. I did it because you are the only family I have, and I didn't want to lose you," Astrid patted her mother's back, comforting her and trying to ease her guilt."Thank you for everything, my dear. You really make me proud," Liora stopped sobbing and smiled through her tears."Hmm..." Astrid also smiled and let her mother stay like that until Liora let her go."By the way, I never asked what kind of illness I had," Liora suddenly remembered and asked."It was Eternal Slumber Syndrome, caused by Ebonite Venom. That's what our Lord said," Astrid replied."Hmm, Ebonite Venom... so it was really him. I thought I might be overthinking, but it s

    ............Near the core area of forest, Quartzgate City. "Please be careful, my Lord. Many dangerous beasts live here, and we should avoid getting entangled with them," Commander Roland warned, keeping a watchful eye on the left side of their four-man team."My Lord, we are almost there. This way leads us close to the core area," Commander Anki said, pointing the way forward."Right. Stay alert and try not to disturb any beasts in the vicinity. We're here to obtain something from the entity residing in the core, not to fight beasts," Aarav instructed, gesturing for caution as he slowed down in response to Roland and Anki's words."Shh... a beast is coming. Everyone, squat down!" Commander Brian, who was keeping watch at their rear, suddenly warned. They quickly crouched behind thick bushes, hiding their presence and letting the beast pass by.'This is really troublesome, but I need to be patient,' Aarav thought as he watched the beast pass by. Once it was safe, they stood up and

    ............The branches of the Tree of Wisdom tightened around Commander Roland, Anki, and Brian, lifting them slightly off the ground. The air crackled with energy as the tree began to glow brighter, the green light from its leaves intensifying.Aarav watched intently, feeling a growing sense of anticipation.A low hum filled the air, resonating deep within their chests. The tree's branches pulsed with energy, and tendrils of light began to flow from the tree into the three warriors.Their bodies absorbed the energy, their forms outlined in a radiant glow. The tree seemed to be singing, its leaves rustling in a harmonious melody that echoed through the forest.Commander Roland gritted his teeth as the energy surged through him, feeling his muscles tighten and his mind sharpen. Anki’s eyes widened in awe, sensing the changes in her body. Brian clenched his fists, feeling a newfound power coursing through his veins. The tree’s energy was transforming them, elevating them beyond the

    ............"Ahhh... Damn it. How did they know we're hiding here? How did our cover get blown? Who messed up? Don't let me catch you, or I'll skin you alive and play ping pong with your marbles!" A robed man ran alongside four others, clutching the wound in his stomach, cursing loudly, filled with rage and bloodlust."BANG... BAM...!!""Ahhh... fuck... you...!" A sharp arc sliced through the air before one of the robed men fell, clutching his stomach, blood pouring from the wounds. He cursed before spewing blood and collapsing, lifeless."Damn it... damn it. How is this guy so strong? Wasn't the information that he's just an old man, retired from the scene? When did he become this powerful? Fuck...!" The robed man, still clutching his stomach, cursed and looked back, ducking just in time to avoid being split open like one of his fallen comrades."Sizzle... Sizzle... Zaap...!""Ohh... shit... Boom!" The robed man kept running, watching his men fall one by one like flies. He was the

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.

    ............"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
