When the intermediate rank mages heard these words, their heart sank to rock bottom. Finished! They were finished! "I and Jamaal will try and stall for a bit. Lead the intermediate rankers away to a safe place. We will meet up if fate so wills it" Amira solemnly instructed Nicola who nodded. "Stay safe!" after saying these words, she began leading Theo and the other intermediate rank mages away. Scriii! The Scorpion-Man was displeased when it saw some of it's meal jumping out of the plate. He swung it's sharp tail at the fleeing group. "Your opponent is me!" a bright light flashed as a whip type magic armament appeared in Amira's grip. She flung the whip towards the tail smashing towards Nicola's group. Like a snake on a tree, the whip elongated with bizarre elasticity, wrapping around the tail. Amira gave it a powerful tug, making the tail miss the fleeing group by a few metres. "Scorching Bones!" Amira casted a skill with a stern face.The whip wrapped around the Scorpion-
"S-Sir, this isn't right no? we clearly helped you beat that Scorpion-Man" Amira smiled, tossing a mana replenishing pill into her mouth without any hesistation. It was obvious she was taking counter measures incase of a conflict erupting. "How do we know if you are not members of the alien race adopting human form?" the second Spartan questioned suspiciously. "We can prove it. Here! i am a member of the Silver Moon Knight guild" Amiqa brought out an identity token. "Telekinesis" the first Spartan who happened to be the leader made a grabbing motion, causing the identitity token to fly into his grip. "Psi magic!" Amira and her group looked at the first Spartan with trepidation. Psi magic principle was an esoteric and rare magic principle. Like RuneMasters and Illusionists they made use of arcane energy. With Psi magic, one could inflict damage on opponent using their mind to deal either physical or mental damage. They were extremely formiddable and were not people to be trifle
The underground cave was unnaturally large, like it was a world of it's own. Along the way, the duo didn't encounter any dangers, causing the previous vigilance they had adopted, to dampen a bit.After two hours of non stop walking, they had to come to a stop. Because ahead of them laid a wide chasm."Now what do we do. It's a dead end!" Theo slapped his forehead in persipation."Strange. Have you noticed an oddity?" Lorraine said as she gravely stared down at the wide chasm."Nope. Did you discover something?" Theo turned towards Her."While we we were covering the distance, i managed to glean out some information from my close observations. The underground cave wasn't formed naturally. It was artificially created"Theo sucked in a mouthful."Artificially created? i can't even begin to imagine what sort of existence would be capable of achieving such a feat"However, Lorraine shook her head."It was collectively created by a group of experts""If my guess is on point, this must be a
Passing through the bridge made of bones, Theo couldn't help recalling a popular saying in his former world. 'Courting Death!' Yep! he knew this. However, just like Lorraine said, there was no rewards without some risk. Since it was a relic ruins, there was bound to be many good stuffs. "Can you see through the mist?" Lorraine squinted her eyes after they reached the other side, which was shrouded by a dark mist that reeked of death. Activating the Eye of Illusions, Theo was able to see the dark mist clearly. "Careful! there are matrix tags lying around" he cautioned. Matrix tags were special items. Since Runesmasters were extremely rare, that was where matrix tags came into play. It was common knowledge that only runesmasters could draw out runic matrix formations. Matrix tags were special items with a runic matrix formation sealed within. Although it was a one-time use, it was extremely expensive. Counting the number of matrix tags, Theo sucked in a mouthful.Twenty! "Just
Rattle. Rattle. The two fearsome Undead swordsmen unsheathed their blades, swinging a sharp blade arc towards Lorraine. "Hmph!" the latter snorted. A white light flashed before her, materializing into the form of a large serpentine creature. Long thin threads shot out of Lorraine's finger tips, boring their way into the neck of the large serpent. "Go!" Lorrain gave a soft flick, causing the puppet Serpent to lash out at the aproaching Undead swordsmen with it's mighty tail. If it's attack landed, the two undead swordsmen would definitely be smashed into meat pauy. "Return!" Scarlet did some swift hand signs, causing the undead swordsmen to vanish into a pue of black miasma. "Girl. You hid yourself quite well" Scarlet forced out a smile. Like Necromancy, there existed another similiar principle.. Puppetery! Puppet Masters were extremely feared due to their ability to control refined puppets. Even the weakest Puppet master could control two puppets simultaneously.They were li
After going through a long winding path, the trio finally arrived at a sky reaching castle. Currently, the trio were a stark different to their previous selves. After battling several undead creatures, they were extremely wreary and battered. "What is that castle? is it the last check point in this damn place?" Theo gasped in exasperation as he peered at the tall tower. The tower was pitch black in color, excluding a ghotic air around it. Surrounding the tower was a large wall made out of broken bones and skulls. The gate was extremely antique and left wide ajar. "Be careful. I sense a powerful source of necromancy mana from that tower" Scarlet warned solemnly, taking cautious steps towards the ghotic looking tower, while Theo and Lorraine followed from behind her. When they were a short distance away from the tower, Scarlet fingers weaved through a series of handseals. A black miasma shot out of her nostril, materializing into an Undead Orc.Unlike regular Orc, this one had oil
Riding on a bike was a thin frail guy who seemed to be in his early twenties, clad in a pizza delivery uniform spotting a bald head. Theo whistled as he rode the bike. Today, he just received a medic report from his doctor. His ten years 'cancer' strangely vanished into thin smoke. He felt so excited. He couldn't wait to relay this happy news to Annie his girlfriend. As for his parents, they died four years ago. He couldn't help but remember the talisman they left behind few days before their deaths. According to them, it was a lucky charm family heirloom. Theo brought out the talisman from his pocket and stared at it. Up till now, he couldn't figure out what was so special about this talisman. It wasn't made of gold but a type of crude metal. Selling it wouldn't even amount to a sizeable number of bucks. While Theo was inspecting the talisman, he neglected the fact that he was currently on the road. At that moment, a huge truck rammed against his bike.Theo got flung out, cr
Theo travelled through the forest by jumping through trees. With his increased stats, he could jump over ten metres.Suddenly, he sighted two hyena type magic beasts, the size of a grown man fighting against each other.On the ground was a dead phyton carcass. From the ripples of their fight, Theo deduced they were merely at the novice rank, just like him.He quietly jumped down the tree and made his way towards the Hyena on the left who was riddled with injuries, seemingly on it's last breath.He sent a powerful kick at it's head, sending the hyena smashing against the bark of a tree.The other Hyena growled upon seeing Theo and fled."Even as magic beasts, hyenas are still cowards" Theo laughed as he walked towards the hyena he kicked."I hope this works" he pursed his lips, sending a fist towards the half dead hyena's head.C R A A C K!The skull broke, causing the hyena to breathe it's last. At that moment, a series of notifications rang in his head.-[You killed a novice rank Yis
