"Thank you for meeting me. As you might have guessed, I need your help on something, and my quest for information was only to confirm what I think I know", Deirdre started.She gestured to the guy beside her, and he pulled out a potion vial and placed it on the table in between both their groups."A token of my…""What exactly do you want from us?", Aiden interrupted with a question.Deirdre was silent for a moment before she said simply, "it would be better to show you… Tonight, the forest outside the city, north of the waterfall… You will find way markers to lead you to a meeting place"After saying this, Deirdre stood up with the guy following her and left the restaurant, leaving behind the potion. Props to Zakari, because while the third order potion he so desperately wanted was sitting on the table in front of him, his thoughts were on the credibility and risk Deirdre would bring to the group."She looks like she is afraid of something…", he said to Aiden, a moment after Deirdre

"Now we become the hunters… We watch and observe their actions and reactions", Aiden said to Diane.Diane turned to look at the two groups for a moment before she said to Aiden, "let's go". She led the way to another spot where the two parties could be seen much more clearly.Both groups were well hidden, but where Diane and Aiden stood made it quite easy to see them both."Your highness, what exactly did you do?", Aiden asked when he saw the indecision on Deirdre's face as well as the worried look on the face of the guy with her.Diane was silent for a moment before she answered, "You know that it is bizarre to have you talk to me like this after you told me what you thought of my behavior"It was Aiden's turn to be dumbfounded and he fell silent. He did not know how to respond to what she just said and he stared at her for a few seconds until she broke the silence."Maybe because you did not try to understand my actions before you hated me? You're a princess… Too much of a royal… Us
Rise Of The Celestials Chapter 94
Amid all the uproar, there was one person who stood in the window of a tall tower looking up at the name shining in gold on the giant scoreboard projection.He was absorbed in his thoughts when the door opened and a man walked in… He stood a few paces behind the man and looked up at the scoreboard whose cracks were repairing themselves right there and said…"The emperor is waiting for an explanation to what happened", he said."Gaia… What do you think of what we saw?", the old man looking out of the window asked."I think we should only accept facts as we see them", he responded, but the old man followed up immediately after that response with a question."I am asking you as a friend… What do you think?", he said.The man called Gaia fell silent for a moment before he answered in a voice that felt different when compared to the way he spoke moments prior."Lord Ajax… I believe the world is changing… These changes are beyond our control but we have a choice when it comes to what we cho
Rise Of The Celestials Chapter 95
After clearing out of the cave, Aiden and Diane began a long walk, trying to look for some sight insight into the damage that Aiden had done, but all they saw was a charred landscape... The remnant of a disaster caused by fire. As they walked even further, it became clear to them that they could not enter any cities. Heading for any city at this time was simply suicide because after walking for tens of kilometers, they came across cities with the gates shut tightly and no one outside those gates. It would be quite bizarre to have survived the disaster and come trudging back to the city like that... After coming to this conclusion, Diane pulled out her gold coin and used it as a compass to find their way back to the central city... The central city was not difficult given the impeccable directions of the coin, but they did not go near the city after coming within viewing distance of it... What they did was to stay out of sight and to find the highest landform near the city. Looki

Although there were seven people in the room, no one said anything.This created a situation where the silence was deafening. They were still stuck in this situation when a projection appeared in the room.In the projection was the familiar face of the woman who welcomed them to the central city on the first day."Good day... Due to the events that occurred yesterday, the requirements of a piece of information have been met and will now be delivered", she started.This projection did not just appear in Aiden's room, it appeared everywhere, not just in the central city, but in every city that had someone staying in it."This is the fifth week since you all arrived here. Your stay will last twelve weeks. At the moment, you are all required to raise your orders in preparation for a combat test that will come in at the end of your twelve-week stay""In the eighth week, the first ruin will open, and all will be allowed access... The rules and rewards will be explained in due time"With tha

A hand grabbed at Aiden, but Aiden did not flinch... Consequently, the hand that grabbed at him froze in mid-air.For a moment, all the momentum that had built up in that moment of cool declarations that Chip gave vanished.The guy who had tried to grab Aiden found his situation to be quite bizarre. This changed his motion from grabbing to trying to pull himself free."Reid, what are you doing?", One of his comrades asked."My hand is stuck", he responded with panic evident in his voice.Another person stepped out to confirm and help the frozen Reid... At this time, it became clear that Reid indeed had his hand frozen in mid-air. No matter how much they pulled, his hand remained in place."What did you do?", Chip growled at Aiden.However, Aiden's poker face was impeccable as he answered innocently, "I did not move, you were looking at me, weren't you?"Chip growled again because he did not have an answer to Aiden's response."I will count to three. If he is not free by then, I will s

Aiden stepped out of an alley at the same time that Diane entered his room… He did not look back as he blended in with the crowd and left the inner city. Minutes later, he was walking out of the city.He left in the most crowded direction he could find. Many of the participants had gotten over their fears and were now leaving the city.There was a bit of a rush now, everyone wanted to be the strongest they could be before the ruin opened. No one had any idea what the ruin would be like, but they all guessed that it could only be amazing considering the way it was announced by the woman in the projection.Following the crowd brought him deep into the forest. He came across many people on the way and most of them were in teams.He avoided them as best as he could, but he found that there were no briwyns to hunt at this distance into the forest… There was also the prickling sensation he got when someone was watching him from the shadows.When this sensation persisted kilometers into the
Rise Of The Celestials Chapter 99
Zipping around the forest, Aiden and Harold turned into blurred shadows of themselves and in a few seconds, they had exchanged tens of punches and blocked just as many.When they separated, one could finally see their expressions, and bizarre as it was, they were both smiling widely, looking like they were having the time of their lives. The smile on Harold's face was by far the widest because they were no different from that of a psychopath.The group of arcanas surrounding the two spread out to give them space, although they maintained a relatively close encirclement to prevent any attempts to escape.It was unknown at the time if Aiden noticed this behavior, this encirclement, or if he was even bothered by it. However, one thing was clear for that moment, he had no thoughts of staging an escape, at least not yet.Their pause was only a small thing and they took off again, slamming their fists into each other so hard that the sounds their attacks made sounded like mini explosions.T

The crowd was pulled from the tragedy that the nobles caused, and some people started to point to the group suspended above them, whispering and murmuring various pieces of gossip.This was a topic that excited them all, however, the ones who were most excited for the revelation were the nobles who finally knew the people who beat them to occupy the highest floor of the tower.They did not hide the wicked grins on their faces and Aiden saw these grins on their faces. He also saw that the group were starting to descend from the sky into the midst of the crowd. That was bad and was quickly made worse when he noticed the nobles setting their hounds on the group.He could guess their thoughts. Even if the group was stronger than they were, given the position they occupied, they did not believe it and wanted to know for themselves how powerful they were.This gave Aiden a headache and his mind began to spin quickly, looking for a big enough distraction that would give the group a chance to

None could ask the other for help because each had someone attacking them, however, they were not noble scions for nothing. Despite being overpowered by the golems, they dealt some damage over time.It was not immediately obvious, but they managed to hold their own, and avoid grievous injuries even though there were several close calls.It took them each about an hour to circumvent their respective golems and deal enough damage to break through their chests.Hadrian was the first followed by Oscar shortly after with Tristan clocking in third, a few seconds behind Oscar. He was unhappy with this but he had no time to be unhappy because his face soon changed into a somber look. Oscar who had just tried to pick up the glowing multi-coloured orb was surprised to find the orb roll away from him and float up to meet the orb that came from Tristan’s golem. This also meant that the orb in Hadrian’s hand was the only one that remained.Oscar and Tristan noticed this, but they could do nothin

Chapter 148: Three Noble Scions
No one cared who had said that word because they all ran. The sight of the gray tentacles rising like pillars from the depths of the abyss was enough to scare every one of them.At the same moment, there was a rumble that spread across the skies of the city at that moment. Everyone heard it. Aiden, sitting in the restaurant was jolted from his thoughts and joined everyone else as they looked up at the ruin.He witnessed a few of the tentacles of the beast appear on the edge of the ruin as he had seen before they entered the ruin.‘That bridge, huh? They might be lucky enough to escape'.He did not care much if these people beat the ruin and made it to the temple. He had gotten his rewards and he was happy with that.Tristan and his group had immediately dashed off the bridge, but the tentacles came down on the bridge at a lightning-fast speed.This attack ripped the bridge apart, leaving just three people from Tristan’s group unscathed.Tristan’s face was painted with horror like ever

Aiden was dumbfounded. How was this a reward? It simply contradicted itself. The problem it caused was having him be a prime target for the Zaltyr, but it would also save him from them once.Then, is the mark erased once the life-saving opportunity is used?[Yes, everything returns to normal after that]This made him heave a sigh of relief. He tried to look at this from a positive perspective. This meant the mark was not meant to specifically protect him from the Zaltyr, its main purpose was to protect him from every other thing that tried to kill him.Thinking about it this way made it easier to accept the fact that he was going to be in trouble with the Zaltyr sooner or later, albeit only slightly.Elder Zarek watched Aiden go through his thoughts for a few minutes while he thought of the command he had received from The World Seed.Aiden had recovered his thoughts at this point and decided to check on his elemental seed. He was elated to see the changes to his elemental seed.The mu

Chapter 146: Mark of the Primordial World Seed
None of the thirty remaining survivors was stupid and they took things as calmly as they could. There was no visible harm to resting till a problem was identified and this was something they unanimously agreed on.As they expected, there was something that was out of the ordinary and it was found after two hours of waiting.The quiet rumble that came from the depths of the chasm was enough of a wake-up call.Theo of the Arco twins was the one who made the first comment, breaking the silence. None of them believed that crossing the bridge would be easy from the start, however, the realization that some unknown danger lurked beneath was enough to bring them flashbacks of their time in the maze.“There’s something down there as well? Why is this trial so difficult?”“Good thing we were patient…”“Patient? What does that do for us?”“Theo is not completely wrong. Every stage of the trials had been harder than the last”, Oscar took a deep breath.“Indeed… Something that can cause such a ru

“You just had to jinx it?”Raven rolled her eyes in response.The orb glowed and the rubble spread across the hall was drawn to it. One piece after the other, they mashed together and barely a moment later, a statue had formed.This statue looked the same as the ones they fought before, save for a few important differences. One, this new statue was massive, at least three times as tall. Two, the statue now had a weapon – A halberd which it swung around. Three, most importantly, it had lines running all over its body. Looking close enough these lines were runes just like the ones Aiden and the rest had, but these were very close to being complete, easily dwarfing the ones they had.Their expressions turned grave as the glowing eyes of the massive statue locked onto them.It was a golem, and it wasted no time. With a roar that sounded like thunder, it wielded its halberd and charged at them.There was no running from it, because, a sweep of its halberd made the hall feel claustrophobi

Raven who had suggested was the first to move, and the moment she did, everyone else followed her one after the other. They got to the stone coffin amidst their careful creeping without any problems. The unnerving feeling that they felt from the statues kept them on their toes as they expected everything to go wrong at any moment. "Now what", Raven asked. Aiden and Connor stepped here, and as he instructed; "Keep an eye out", the two of them pushed the lid off the stone coffin. They were right to be worried, because the moment the stone coffin opened slightly, light burst out of the opening. They were taken aback by this absurd light show, however, the light was like a tonic, one that breathed life into the surrounding. Life into the several warrior statues that lined the walls. Each of their eyes opened with a snap, glowing a bright orange, followed by cracks that came from the loosening of the joints on the statues. Gadiel was the first to speak regret about the situation, but

With Aiden and Connor leading the way, they stepped onto the rope bridge. The silence that fell on them at that was quite unnerving, but it helped them keep their focus. This meant that their reactions were spot on as they responded immediately to Aiden making any signals.This was the moment that they finally understood the danger that lay in the chasm beneath them. Apart from the scary chasm that looked like a bottomless pit, a sight that already promised them death should they fall into it, there was something else living in the chasm, and the dreadful atmosphere it brought with evidence of its existence sent chills running their spines. The conclusion here was very simple, there was trouble and they needed to be careful.Listening carefully, they heard the silent rumbles gradually fade away, taking with it the tense atmosphere they felt. You would expect Aiden to make a sudden dash to get across as quickly as possible, but he didn't. He was taking no chances, so continued steadily

"Three days?!", Raven started."Oh, don't get worked up, it was more like two and a half days", Princess Eleanor chipped in.Unfortunately, this did not change the reaction Raven had; in fact, her reaction got worse at that moment as she got frantic and almost lost her mind as she looked around."Calm down, Raven. Things are not as bad as you think. We are out of the grassland maze; of course, we had to wait for everyone to de-petrify before we continued…", Deirdre explained."So, what trial do we have now?", Raven asked and immediately got a response."Oh, the long rope bridge, strung across the chasm that has a tentacled beast living in it", Deirdre responded like that piece of information was of no consequence.Raven was silent as she stared off into space for a moment. When she got her mind back, she asked almost immediately… "Are we crossing now that I am awake?"A question to which Princess Eleanor answered in a snarky and sarcastic tone… "Hopefully". Her comment got a few gazes
