"Then what about my friends who don't know about this?" asked Arryn. He was shocked and worried about the condition of his three group mates.
“In each reference book, the risks are explained if you choose the wrong Arcana. If they're careful, they'll be able to do it right,” replied Quentin, walking up to Arryn while carrying a book about Arcana.
Quentin opened the book and showed the arcana items in each type. Before he could start crafting it for Arryn, Quentin needed to explain this important matter to him.
“Though I will guide you, you should know five items in the attack type arcana, starting from Spirity, Examiner, Bloodline, Yoaxin, and Cleave. Each item has a different status increase,” replied Quentin, pointing to the five red round items with a different symbol in the center of the circle.
Not only the attack type arcana, but Quentin also explained the heal and support type Arcana. He needed to explain the three because, according to Quentin, Arcana's healing and support were useful for Arryn's survival when fighting.
“For Arcana, heal consists of Lux, Crosslife, Purify, Alter, and Fier. As for support, namely Areacane, Secretlife, Lightspell, Orion, and Sarana," explained Quentin.
"Do I have to memorize everything?" asked Arryn.
Quentin explained that Arryn didn't need to memorize the names. Arryn just needed to know which items he needed and which matched his original magic. Quentin also told Arryn that he would understand all the arcana items as time passed.
“Those are the arcana items you should know about. Alright, we'd better start crafting your Arcana," replied Quentin, pulling a wooden chair while both hands placed the reference book on his office table.
Arryn began to stretch his right hand forward, his mouth moving to read a magic spell to open his arcana runes.
[Summoning System: Open Rune Arcana]
Suddenly a blue panel appeared in front of Arryn in the same condition as when it was in the library; none of it was filled. Quentin looked closely at the panel, though it wasn't very clear.
"All right. Now you look at this book,” Quentin requested, pointing to the detailed item section for each arcana type.
Arryn's eyes turned downwards, following the direction of Quentin's finger. Arryn could see the difference in the status increase in each item carefully.
“Now, before I choose a suitable arcana for you. I will let you choose five arcana items that you think are suitable according to your strengths," Quentin asked, trying to test his son's arcana selection strategy.
Arryn remained silent for a while. His thoughts and feelings were going wild, thinking about what items were appropriate for him.
If you looked at Arryn's goal of avenging his death when he was Alan, then Arryn thought of filling most of the circle with attack-type Arcana.
Spirity gives Arryn a 4.5 increase in ability power status and 0.8 attack speed. The Examiner gives an increase in status in the form of 2.5 magic power and 2.2 magic pierce.
Yoaxin also provides several status increases for Arryn, in the form of 2.5 ability power and 1.2 magic power. Bloodline provides a 10% increase in status for magic lifesteal and ability power of 2.5.
Lastly, Cleave provides an increase of 15% magic lifesteal and an attack speed of 1.2.
Apart from the attack-type Arcana, Arryn also saw differences in the healing and support Arcana. Arryn concluded that the healing Arcana provided many status increases in the form of max HP, life steal, magic defense, and armor reduction.
While the increase in status for arcana support is more for HP regen, magic defense, armor defense, and magic rage.
Quentin watched Arryn's face carefully. The man didn't know whether Arryn understood these items or not.
“Do you get it, Arryn?” Quentin asked.
Arryn nodded. He also said he had determined what items he thought could be applied.
Quentin was excited, with a smile spreading across his face, “Really? Then tell me."
"I chose Spirity, Cleave, Bloodline, Crosslife, and Lightspell," Arryn answered. Quentin nodded several times.
What Arryn put together really wasn't that bad. Crosslife items will increase Arryn's maximum HP status, and Lightspell to increase magic defense.
Meanwhile, the remaining three items focus on magic power and lifesteal. Quentin doesn't mind the support and healing arcana because they don't really have much of an impact in terms of visible impact.
However, Quentin disagreed with Arryn's arrangement of attack arcana. Lifesteal was an admirable stat, but it didn't match up with Arryn's original magic. Lifesteal can only greatly impact those who have original magic like necromancer/ summoning mage.
Quentin recommended that Arryn put together Examiner and Cleave. With these two items, Arryn gets an increase in abilities and magic power, as well as lifesteal and attack speed.
"Is there something wrong?" Arryn asked, concerned by Quentin's silent response.
“There's nothing wrong. It's just that you'll progress so slowly. You're only focusing on lifesteal in attack items. It doesn't suit your abilities," Quentin replied.
"Then what do you think I should use?" Arryn asked, confused.
Quentin pointed at the Examiner item with the symbol of three spheres forming a triangle, and the Cleave, which was a leaf with a wind line. Arryn looked carefully, including the status details given.
"Two are enough for attack items, use one more for magic rage," Quentin explained.
The magic rage that Quentin meant was Sarana, meaning Quentin's suggestions for Arryn's Arcana were Examiner, Cleave, Crosslife, Lightspell, and Sarana.
Quentin had actually set up another, stronger Arcana, but he couldn't do it, seeing that Arryn's arcana line-up almost matched his.
“How is it? You will get an increase in all attack stats and additional HP, magic defense, and magic rage," Quentin replied, sitting back in his wooden chair.
"What is magic rage?" asked Arryn.
“Magic rage will activate if your HP or MP falls below safe. You will feel great strength rising in your body when you are in a critical condition,” Quentin explained, Arryn nodded several times while looking at the arcana items in the book.
“Are you sure that this arcana suits me?” asked Arryn. Somehow his heartfelt anxiety, afraid that the arcana arrangement would not match.
"I'm sure," Quentin explained.
Arryn and Quentin looked at each other for a few minutes. Before long, Arryn agreed to Quentin's suggestion and started placing the items in the arcana tree.
Arryn's right hand touched each empty circle, selecting the appropriate arcana item according to Quentin's suggestion until all the empty circles were filled. The submit menu, which previously could not be pressed, can now be done after all Arcana have been filled in.
[You have succeeded in applying the Arcana]
[Arcana activated]
Arryn felt that something had entered his body, neither visible nor smelly. He felt his heart excited with the comfortable feeling that came together.
"What happened to me?" Arryn asked, asking while closing his eyes.
“That is the initial stage of adapting the Arcana to your original magic. Don't worry. Those adjustments won't have a fatal impact on your body," Quentin replied, closing the book about the Arcana as he walked over to his bookshelf.
The adjustment stage consists of two stages: the initial and finalization. The initial adjustment stage lasts about five minutes with different feelings for each magic user; some are comfortable, cool, cold, hot, anxious, restless, and the most extreme is dizziness.
Then comes the final adjustment stage, the finalization stage. The finalization stage will occur when the change of day occurs. So, Arryn will feel this stage when he falls asleep at night; many don't realize it because most of them are asleep.
About five minutes passed, and the feeling of comfort and excitement from Arryn's body began to fade. Arryn no longer felt that, and his body returned to normal.
"How do I know if the arcana is working properly?" asked Arryn.
"You need to battle with someone. Of course, you have to do it tomorrow," Quentin replied, taking a seat behind his desk.
"Why?"
“Because your Arcana didn't fuse at all until midnight. So, rest or go to the library to learn something."
Quentin started to open his document, writing down what he had done in the document. Arryn nodded; at least he believed what Quentin told him.
Arryn stood straight while looking at the arrangement of bookshelves in Quentin's office, "Can I have a look at the books?"
Quentin looked up at Arryn, pointing at his book stack. In the end, he lets Arryn find whatever book he wants.
"What exactly do you need?" Quentin asked flatly.
“Information about dimensional magic.”

*** The next day. "How are you feeling after the arcana arrangement yesterday?" asked Ivy, perched on a wooden chair with both eyes on Arryn. Arryn was still lying on his bed because he had nothing else to do. Lucas, Aurora, and Lorelei were still busy with their unfinished Arcana. Among the fifteen apprentices, Arryn was the only one who had finished crafting the Arcana. "Quentin said that the stage of adjusting Arcana to my body ended at midnight. I don't feel any different," Arryn replied, raising his right hand before his face. "It seems like your Arcana has integrated with your body well," Ivy said. Arryn nodded as he closed his eyes. "Then, do you have anything to do today?" Ivy asked again. Arryn was silent. The next lesson in Riviela's class would take place next week, so Arryn had plenty of time from today until next week. The books Arryn had read in Quentin's office weren't helping. No single text could explain dimensional magic's origin nor how to control it. Arryn
They immediately took their seats in a room commonly used for discussions. Aurora took the seat adjacent to Lorelei while Lucas took his seat at the side of the table. Lorelei began to open her reference book as she pointed out the arcana items written in it. Aurora and Lucas watched with moving eyes. Aurora nodded her head several times. She already knew the items of each type of Arcana, but Aurora chose to remain silent to avoid acting arrogant in front of her friends. "Before you choose the items to be attached, you must understand what the Arcana is," said Arryn, sitting on the opposite side of Lucas. "I already understand what Arcana is. Can we continue to discuss these items?" asked Lorelei. Arryn looked at Lucas and Aurora, and they nodded in agreement with Lorelei's proposal. The three of them had learned what Arcana was and its functions yesterday. Not only that, Aurora had even made some plans for the items she would use. "You'd better show us your Arcana and explain wh
Arryn invited Aurora, standing next to him, to enter the portal. At first, she was afraid and anxious, but after Arryn convinced her, she decided to enter the portal of light. Aurora was surprised when her feet felt like she was stepping on something warm and soft. The girl kept walking out of curiosity until she stopped in front of a shady coconut tree. Arryn followed Aurora from behind as he looked right and left. He and Aurora were now on a seemingly deserted island. White sand, blue waves, and shady trees welcomed the sea wind. Now, Arryn again didn't know which world he was in. "So, your original magic power is time and space travel?" asked Aurora, her eyes rounding as if impressed by Arryn's magic. "Something like that," replied Arryn, walking to Aurora, playing near the seashore. "Wow, that's awesome magic!" praised Aurora. Arryn smiled as he joined the girl in the water. The two of them enjoyed the moment together until the sun began to fall into the evening. Aurora sat
"Fifth day? I haven't arranged my Arcana yet," Aurora replied. Arryn turned his head slowly to look at the girl hiding behind his back. He realized that this was all his fault. Arryn was unable to estimate how much time was spent inside the portal. "My class is over. We'll meet again next week," said Riviela. It was a coincidence that their instructors were both in the same room. "Did you give us another assignment?" asked Aurora, her mind filled with anxiety about missing Riviela's class. "You have to learn all the spells of basic five-element magic. While practicing, you may feel changes in your body according to the chosen Arcana," replied Riviela. Aurora nodded obediently. She had no problem with five-element magic considering she had mastered it long ago. However, Aurora was still worried about her Arcana, which had not been completed. "Sage Quentin. Can I ask you a favor?" asked Arryn, turning his head to look at the man standing before him. Quentin nodded, his hands folde
*** The following day Aurora's Arcana arrangement went faster than Arryn had expected. Aurora felt different compared to Arryn when adjusting the Arcana to her body. Aurora felt warm and excited after a few minutes of doing the final Arcana setup. Different feelings were felt by people, including Aurora. Now, Arryn was not with the girl. He was still silent as he stared at the roof of his bedroom. "Aren't you going to try your magic again, Arryn?" asked Ivy, staying close to Arryn. "My magic? It seems not, Ivy. Don't you remember the advice Quentin gave me?" asked Arryn, turning his head as his eyes looked at Ivy perched on the nightstand to Arryn's right. Ivy knew and remembered the advice Quentin had given Arryn, especially about the effects of the young man's original magic. Quentin had clearly said that Arryn was forbidden to use his original magic under any conditions, whether in Riviela's classes or during his spare time. "But if you worry too much about Quentin's advice,
"But Quentin must know that you've broken his advice," Ivy said. Arryn nodded. What Ivy said had some truth to it. "You're right, but even though he'll scold me, he'll be very interested when he sees what I find," Arryn replied. "I won't push you. You will do it, and you will be responsible for it," Ivy said, flying next to Arryn and starting to use her invisible ability. Arryn decided to go visit Quentin's office. He wrapped the reptilian head in a large piece of cloth to avoid panic in this place. Ivy flew off to follow Arryn wherever she went, unseen. Even though the reptilian head was well wrapped, blood continued to flow down the cloth. Surprisingly, not a single person had any intention of questioning this. They seemed to pass by unconcerned about Arryn even though they saw the strangeness in the cloth Arryn was carrying. "What caused them to be so indifferent to you, Arryn?" asked Ivy. She, too, felt the strangeness shown by the people in this place. "I don't know. It see
*** Arryn didn't understand what Quentin meant to him. Making him the most advanced magic user would take a long time. Arryn wondered, would Quentin teach him directly about it? He and Ivy began to leave Quentin's office after there was nothing more to talk about. The two left, heading toward the Obelisk library. Unlike them, the apprentices in Riviela's class began practicing basic magic skills. Arryn certainly didn't want to be left behind them. He borrowed a book on basic magic and started practicing it in the backyard of the Obelisk tower. "I don't understand Quentin's intention at all," Ivy said, discussing what Quentin had said to them earlier. "I'm sure he was too excited about the discovery to imagine such a thing," Arryn said. "But to reach the Noble Tier takes a long time. There are many requirements you must complete," Ivy replied. Arryn agreed with Ivy's words. After all, it took a lot of effort to reach that level. Arryn was sure that Quentin also took much time to
In Alicia's eyes, the color of mana released by Arryn was dark blue, almost reaching black. In contrast to Quentin and the others, it was more light-colored such as red, yellow, light blue, green, and white. "Do you know where your strength comes from, Arryn?" asked Alicia. Arryn wondered what Alicia meant by saying that. Did she want to know about Erina? According to Arryn, there was nothing important to tell Alicia about the origin of her powers. "Everyone else doesn't know about it because they get it at birth," Arryn explained, using someone else's analogy. Alicia continued to stare at Arryn's face with a smile. The woman realized something seeing Arryn's response. She realized that Arryn was lying to her. Even so, Alicia had no intention of bothering him further. Alicia understood that Arryn was trying to hide it because of the type of mana he had belonged to the dark type of mana. Only certain races had a type of mana like Arryn, one of them was the demon race currently at
Erina didn't want to get into any further trouble with Eran. A magic portal opened up behind the woman's back, and her right hand could be seen stretching forward, causing Arryn to be lifted up. "The Justice Watcher may have lost in this place, but I will make sure the other Justice Watchers in other places will have a different fate," Erina said, speaking to Eran, whose right hand appeared to be blood red, the mark of Arryn's stomach wound. Together with Vera, Erina left the earth until the conditions in that place slowly began to settle. Emissaries helped the recovery process after the short battle. Although the duration of the fight was relatively short, the impact caused could not be taken lightly. "He won on a planet called Athanor. I'm afraid those people are trying to help every Justice Watcher in the entire universe," said Eran, shaking his right hand, trying to remove the blood that filled the man's palm. "The number of Justice Watchers is decreasing. We're at quite an adv
"I haven't worn these clothes in a long time," said Arryn, amazed at the drastic change in his appearance.Goodbye simple clothes and black coats, hello suits and shirts. Arryn was genuinely excited to realize he had become part of the Earthlings, even though he had to admit that Arryn wasn't from Earth."For those who have been there, it won't feel strange when you put it on again," Sersi said."If you intend to take me to see Nicholas, does that mean you'll miss work?" asked Arryn, Sersi smiling broadly in her outfit."I don't mind missing a day of work. They'll understand my situation," replied Sersi.Arryn nodded, feeling happy her friend was willing to drive him, even though he looked different from John Alan she used to know. It didn't take long for Sersi to get Arryn into a taxi bound for the City of London prison, which was quite far from Sersi's residence.The woman had never met Nicholas before. She only knew the man was caught by
Because of this strangeness, a police car arrived at the place where Arryn had come. Two police officers were seen aiming their guns at Arryn, making the man reflexively raise his hands."Don't move!" ordered one of the police officers."I haven't committed any crime," Arryn said, trying to speak to the police officers.Despite Arryn's words, the townspeople did not. They looked scared and anxious, and many took pictures of the incident and posted them on social media."Say all of that in our office," said the police officer, putting Arryn down by trying to handcuff the man's hands.To the officer's surprise, Arryn only had one hand, with burn marks on his face. In the end, both police hands appeared to be firmly grasping Arryn's body. The man was put into a police car and taken away from the center of London."Now, which crazy person are you?" asked the policeman, sitting close to Arryn."What do you mean?" asked Arryn, confused.
The fight was done; the war was over. Arryn walked up to Aurora. The man deactivated his fire armor magic. Aurora's eyes glazed over, happy the Armageddon war was over.Surprisingly, Aurora hugged Arryn's body and buried her face in the man's arms. Her heart couldn't hide her happiness. At last, she could live happily ever after together with Arryn."I'm glad this war is over," Aurora said, crying so happily that making Arryn's clothes wet."So am I. There's nothing to worry about," Arryn explained, his right hand gently rubbing Aurora's hair.Alexia smiled. She shook hands with Alen, who the three people never expected to be alive, "Is there anything else you're going to do this time, Alen?""Considering the situation here is over, maybe I will go to a different world to help Erina win this war," Alen replied.Arryn looked over, surprised to hear Alen was returning to deal with the war in a different world. Arryn understood his responsibili
Without thinking, Arryn flew off with the help of two wings behind his back. He went to the west, where another battle was taking place between Alex and Alexia, Aurora, and Alen.After the battle against the demon army was over, the man wanted to end it all so there would be no more suffering in the land of Athanor. Still clad in his fire armor, Arryn traversed the forest half-destroyed by the freezing ice, with several demons still trapped in the ice.From afar, the tremor and gust of wind could be clearly felt. The battle between the two camps was no longer carried out in the sky but on a vast plain. After passing through the forest area, Arryn's eyes witnessed Alex being overwhelmed by three people.[Summoning System: Great Fire Pillar]A pillar of fire formed around the battle arena, causing Alex to gasp and realize he was surrounded. There was no other way for him to escape but to defeat the remaining Justice Watcher members.Alexia and Aurora
Vera agreed to Erina's order. After all, they had to be woken up quickly to help the Athanor Army's fighting power. The goddess of nature turned her body around, walking on a glass path adorned with a gentle breeze full of leaves every step of the way.The charming woman arrived at the Garden of Life, standing right next to Arryn and Allen, who was lying on the grass. The foliage roots continued to wrap around their bodies. A green light was lit on each root to restore the two's body condition.Now, Arryn and Allen were fully recovered, perhaps even at the peak of their health to fight again. Vera crouched gracefully, making her beautiful dress appear to brush against the grass in her garden.Vera's delicate hands touched the garden soil, her eyes closed, and without any magic incantation, the roots wrapped around Arryn and Allen's bodies slowly began to unwind, giving way to a cool breeze that seemed to wake up the two men.The first thing Arryn saw when
Alexia flew quickly, leaving the central area of Ravengarden City to approach Alex. The two fought a great battle outside the south gate area of the city. Athanor's soldiers could not easily follow their battle's speed.Aurora, who finished defeating the centaurs, went to help Alexia defeat Alex. Using her trident spear, she kept attacking and looking for an opening for Alex to get hit.The three fought fiercely in the city sky. Every attack that Alex failed to hit or was parried by the man was directed elsewhere to cause significant damage.From within the forest in the southern region of Ravengarden, the roar of the demon army could be clearly heard. Followed by Athanor's mostly human warriors to fight, the numbers of the two differed greatly from each other; Athanor outnumbered the demon army.General Elvan, along with King Jean-Louis, were at the vanguard. Elvan was ready with his sword, while Jean-Louis would fight using his magical abilities.
***The next day."Wake up," said one of the Athanor Magus members.Not just one person, but all of them reminded each other. Alexia and the other mentors explained that today was the day they would have a big battle.The sun began to rise, the light illuminating the entire Ravengarden area filled with Athanor troops. They were ready early in the morning because, according to what King Jean-Louis had planned, the attack on the demon army's encampment would be done as early and fast as possible.Alexia was ready in her Justice Watcher uniform, as well as Aurora. Now, both were the center of attention and hoped for many people, not Arryn anymore.Aurora opened the door to Alexia's room, seeing her friend standing with both hands resting on the window frame, like a nervous person."Are you alright, Alexia?" asked Aurora.Alexia turned her head slowly, looking at Aurora, who had just arrived in her room wearing the same Justice Wat
***Alexia went to the city government place, along with Aurora, Quentin, and Ivy, which was why they came. That afternoon, they planned to propose King Jean-Louis for a surprise attack on the Demon Army encampment, according to the intel provided by Ivy.She knew how strict her father was in making decisions. The middle-aged man had to think about many things before acting, including the good and bad consequences. The Armageddon War could be a major war that determined the survival of the two primary races, Humans and Demons.If one side won, it could take control of the entire place, considering both sides' main armies were in Ravengarden this time. However, the human race's position was quite advantageous after two battles won by the humans, even though they had to sacrifice a city.Since the sudden invasion of the Southcoast, the royal side has tightened control on the cities south of Athanor. The leading troops were divided into nearby towns in case
