Do stay with me, readers, it will soon get to the fun part
The tugs realized they just went dancing with the devil. Aleric didn't even bother drawing his sword as he just used earth magic to trap their feet and use an ice ball to strike them repeatedly. It was a nightmare for them as Aleric didn't even give them the chance to fight back."So have we come to an agreement?" Aleric asked the tugs as they knelt with swollen faces."Yes master, we all accept your kindness." Aleric offered them to become his porters in the hunt."I suppose you know the best area to hunt?""Yes, moving to the west, you will get the lightning fox. They are hard to hunt as they have lightning attributes and are also quick to run." Aleric nodded as the leader of the tugs explain. "If you are lucky to get one with mana core, you would be able to get lightning attribute." Aleric doesn't have a lightning attribute no matter how much he tries. He can only use fire, earth, wind, and ice. Having a lightning ability would greatly increase his strength."Then to the east is th
When Aleric woke up, his skin was red and he had no idea about it. He woke up by sunset and felt relieved that his spoils were still untouched. His red skin gradually returned to normal and he never realized the changes in his body. Because he fell asleep in the evil fox's blood, his body that circulates mana automatically gradually absorbed the evil fox's essence and circulated it all over Aleric. Currently, Aleric has gotten one of the fox abilities which is fire resistance and he can also increase his body temperature if faced with an extreme cold like the fox did when he was trapped in Aleric's ice spell. Without knowing, Aleric has gotten the ability to be the only candidate that can handle Morgana even with her extremely cold nature. Aleric went over to the evil fox carcass and dug out the mana core that was located in his stomach. The core was the size of a fist and lightning was moving inside it like it was alive. "The hunters would soon arrive. I don't want to have any confli
Aleric didn't go to the auction house immediately. He first got to an inn and decided to go to the auction the next day. Aleric was treated like a celebrity when he arrived at the inn. The innkeeper even gave him a discount and when people heard he was staying at the inn, they came to the inn to eat and drink with the hope of seeing the black mask. "I am going out today, I would be back later in the day." Aleric told the innkeeper before leaving. He took his mana cores to the auction house. Aleric was surprised when he got to the auction house and discovered that it was bigger than he thought. "Welcome to Heaven Auction House, how can we help you?" A pretty lady with a red dress greeted Aleric with a bow. The auction house has heard of the amazing feat of the black mask so the mistress personally came out to greet him when they saw him coming. "I have come to sell my mana cores." "I am June, you can come inside and show me what you have." The pretty lady smiled and led Aleric insi
After Aleric left Frankfort took the direction of the city with a dungeon. He knew he would have more difficulties in the dungeons as there are many intelligent creatures in the dungeon. Aleric drew attention when he arrived in the city of Malzar. The story of his deeds has gotten to the city before him so a lot of parties sorted after him to party with him and raid dungeons. Unlike the magic forest, dungeons have a requirement. Before a party is allowed to enter a dungeon, they must be more than five members. A lot of parties were approaching Aleric and requesting he join them but he turned them down. "Come and join us, after raiding we would take you to a place you would relax and enjoy." One of the hunters approached Aleric with confidence hoping he would win him over. "Sorry, I am not interested." Aleric wasn't looking for a party that relied on each other. He just wanted a group that would help him enter the dungeon. "You must be feeling proud because everyone is requesting
Bella was speechless and her happiness was no more. She has always felt that black mask is her peer. "I request for a duel." Bella raised her against Aleric."That's not a great idea." "Arm yourself, Aleric." She called his name since she never forgot it when her grandfather said it."You even know my name.""My grandfather wouldn't shut up about it. Arm yourself so that I can prove I am stronger than you."I refuse." Aleric folded his arms as he refused to fight the girl he promised to look after."Fine, there are other ways to prove I am superior." Bella left Aleric and decided to raid every floor in this dungeon. She knew if she does that, her name would travel the whole continent as the youngest mage to have cleared a dungeon."Old man Sawyer, your granddaughter is not as you described." Aleric heaved a sigh and followed the girl. The two climbed the tower and Bella kept her distance and left little to no goblin for Aleric to kill. The further they progress the stronger goblins
Aleric went after her because he knew it was dangerous and she was already tired. When the two arrived where the goblin was, they were dumbfounded at the size. Bella shot her arrows but they did no damage to the goblin."Rwrrrrr." The goblin roared and smashed his hammer on the ground and spikes protruded from the ground and stabbed Bella in her arm. Aleric was fast to move back but Bella didn't."Aaaah." She screamed in pain but the goblins didn't care as he raised his hammer to smash again. Aleric knew Bella would definitely die if the goblin succeed so Aleric shot a fireball at him sending him back."Sorry." Aleric apologized as he pulled Bella free from the spike and ran away with her. "If we don't kill him under 30 minutes, the dead goblins would respawn." Bella said as Aleric laid her down. "I know that, but you can't possibly fight in such a condition." "I..." Bella wasn't able to finish her word when the goblin smashed his hammer on them. Aleric protected them with earth ma
Bella didn't bother hiding her face when she came down to eat. Everyone stared at her and some men imagined how beautiful the elf would become when she reaches adulthood. Some were even tempted to kidnap her and sell her for the slave trade but they knew it would get them in trouble.Bella waited for Aleric to return but the handsome boy didn't return it was late at night. He ate at the inn before going upstairs to join Bella. After Aleric left Bella he went to Heaven Auction House, the branch in the city he is currently in. They gave him a VIP treatment the moment he presented the silver card June gave him. The Auction house was beyond surprised when he gave them the dungeon core to sell. A dungeon core can be sold for a million gold or more, so Aleric left the core with the auction house and they told him to come back in a month to collect his money. He didn't stay around for auction and made a mental note to get all the gold later when he gets to the capital."What took you so long
The group arrived at the village after a day's ride without rest. Astrid's persuasion made Aleric oblige her. After arriving at the village, Aleric was shocked by the standard of living in the village. Hunger and pestilence were evident and Aleric wondered how they have survive this far."Where is the village mayor?" "There." Astrid pointed at a fair-looking house towards the west. It wasn't that great, but compared to the other buildings, it would be considered a palace. Aleric and his company went to the mayor, as he is the best person to explain the situation."You are welcome." The mayor greeted them politely as he noticed that Aleric and Bella weren't from around here. The villagers haven't heard the news of Black Mask and his elf company, Astrid only heard of it when she came out to the city with her brother."You are the mayor?" Aleric was hoping to see a chubby man that would be among the reason why the village is poor. But what he saw was a lean man with honest eyes. "Yes,
It's been three months since the battle and everyone is slowly healing. They have mourned their lost ones, are are currently building up. Though they are now safe, they can't celebrate their victory since the hero of the war is still in coma. After he fell, the heavenly stone left his body and returned to it's sacred ground. Though Aleric wasn't dead, his body was too messed up to wake up. Tatia has to lay him in the healing pool and hope he survives. Draco woke up two days later and revealed the reason his heart stopped beating was because Aleric is his companion, so Any grievous injury sustained by Aleric would affect him.While everyone back at Jusavia is worried about Aleric, he is currently in the underworld with Anui."You will soon be going back." Anui said as the two sat opposite each other."Yes, my body is almost done healing.""Now you have become a transcendental being, adversaries would come to find you from across the universe. Some would come for a friendly match, other
Though they are far away from the battlefield, they could feel the tremors. Arya, Mia and Draco were all trying their best to get to Aleric. Another person there with them is Eren, he is not meant for a battlefield. He rather witness the return of Aleric than the destruction of the battlefield.While they are trying so hard to get to him, Aleric has reached a greater height. Just like in the demon continent when he wanted to trace the corrupted mana and mistakenly reached transcend, he has done the same in the Asuras realm. Aleric has become a transcend, but this time he won't loose it. His willpower, everything has increased and he is certain that he is now evenly matched with the lord of destruction. Since he was locked, he has been mediating instead of losing hope, for he is certain Arya would find him. "I know you would." Aleric smiled as the portal started to open. The asuras that was left to watch over him were surprised. Aleric stood up and easily broke out of his prison, the
A week later while everyone was still at shock at Aleric's sudden disappearance, a loud trumpet was heard. It was heard across the universe and they all knew it was the arrival of the long awaited enemy. Even with all their preparation, they knew it would be a failure without Aleric. All the world leaders conveyed at Utopia to discuss before the enemies would arrive."Can we negotiate with him?" The elf king asked."There would be no negotiation." Jones answered."What they want is destruction, so we either win against them or be annihilated." Dax replied."But there would be no victory without Aleric." Xander stated and they all started arguing. Tatia watched them argue, he looked at Aleric's father Enzo and the man starred at her with pity. Enzo, who was once considered the strongest is now lost for words. Him as well as many others have gotten stronger but without Aleric they are nothing."You are right." Tatia started to speak and they all went quiet. Maybe it was because of th
"He disappeared." Tatia muttered. They were still rejoicing about Aleric's victory when he suddenly vanished. Even the device was not able to follow Aleric to wherever he must have gone to."Draco, do you feel him?" Arya immediately asked and the dragon tried but something seemed to be blocking him. They only thing capable of doing so is someone more powerful. "I can't." With Draco's negative words, they were thrown to panic. It was a huge success that all the dungeons has been cleared, but it won't be a success if it's coming at the expense of the greatest hero. It didn't take long for the news to sprayed across Jusavia, and everyone in the word prayed for the heroes wellbeing.Back in the Asuras planet, Aleric is demanding to have a match with the lord of destruction. Aleric doesn't even know if being teleported here was by the making of the dungeon boss or it was the dungeon design. But regardless of what happened, he would be able to show his might by winning against the lord of
Aleric and the rest of the world worked hand in hand and cleared all the dungeon. Aleric is aware this would make the asuras hastens their invasion, but he doesn't mind. With all the preparation done, Aleric knew it's better they invade soon. With only one dungeon left, Aleric decided to clear it and be done with it. He hopes to go back to his wives before the enemies invade."One last ride." He muttered as he entered the dungeon.Aleric get past each floor without meeting a single enemy. The only possible explanation for this phenomenon is that the boss of this dungeon is an entity that is on a while new level. He went by the whole floor until he came to the last floor. He tried to widened his sense but he couldn't feel anything beyond the door. The only thing left to do is to open the door.As he entered the colossal chamber, Aleric's eyes widened at the sight of an otherworldly being, its form obscured in the shadows. The ancient entity stirred, awoken from eons of slumber, its pow
It's been a month after his wedding. Aleric has told his wives about earth and everything that happened. Luckily Bora and Mia didn't lose their powers anymore and it gave Aleric answer to his question. Unlike earth that doesn't support magic, Jusavia does. So, clearing all the dungeon would not make Jusavia lose it's magical powers. So, after discovering that, Aleric spread the word all over Jusavia that everyone should put their strength in clearing the dungeon. Since every preparation for the war has been made, it's best to concentrate on clearing the dungeons."Would you want us to come with you?" Tatia asked."No, it's best you all stay here and keep training the soldiers." Aleric responded. He is all prepared to go. Leaving his wives back at the kingdom not only keep his mind at peace, it will also make him go all out in the dungeon. Aleric has gotten incredibly stronger, though he is still at 9th class, he is way above. His journey to earth gave him powers of awakener, so when h
Just as the portal was about to close, Aleric ran through with the ladies in his arms. The journey was tedious, so even though Aleric was shielding the two ladies with his mana, they still passed out."Aleric." Tatia said as they all rushed to embrace him. They couldn't contained the joy for seeing their husband after more than one year. Only after the excitement have settled did they notice the two beautiful ladies in his arms."Who are they?" Bella asked. The rest of of the ladies all looked at Aleric with keen interest."They are..." He chuckled nervously. Only in this moment are they reminded of the boy in him. The hero all evil flee from can get nervous just facing the hot gaze from his wives."The two ladies needs to rest." Tatia spoke. She already knows who the ladies are and she is aware others already guessed too. No need to leave the girls dangling in Aleric's arms. "Let's bring them inside." With Tatia's order, Draco took the ladies from Aleric and gave him a pity stare be
In Jusavia, where magic flowed like the rivers and mythical creatures roamed freely, a sense of unease had settled upon the land. It had been more than a year since King Aleric had disappeared without a trace, leaving his kingdom and the world in a state of uncertainty.In the heart of the grand palace, the six wives of Aleric - Tatia, Bella, Morgana, Hanna, Julia, and Arya - and his fiance Ema gathered in the council chamber. Their bond was one of shared love for the same man, but it had also evolved into a sisterhood forged by their shared responsibilities and challenges.The ladies sat in a circle, their faces filled with concern. The kingdom of Jusavia was vast and magnificent, but it was Aleric's presence that had kept it thriving and harmonious. His sudden disappearance had left a void that none could fill."I miss him," Tatia said softly, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "I miss his laughter, his warmth, and his guidance." She has always been the one serving as their pill
After a grueling battle that had shaken the very foundations of the earth, Aleric found himself awakening in the sterile surroundings of a hospital room. The past week had been a blur of conflict, of dragons that threatened to destroy everything, but now he lay in a state of blissful unconsciousness.As his eyes fluttered open, Aleric was greeted by the sight of two familiar faces. Bora and Mia, two women who had become more than just allies; they were now lovers. Their smiles were a testament to the relief they felt at his awakening. They had been by his side all this time, their unwavering support a source of strength for Aleric.Weak and weary, Aleric managed a feeble smile in return. It was a profound comfort to know that he was not alone."Don't ever scare us like that." Bora complained.Aleric's heart swelled with gratitude, and he whispered, "I will try not to."Their laughter filled the room, and Bora leaned in to give him a warm embrace. "You did it, Aleric. You saved the Ear
