As the explosion died down, a bruised Arthur and Linux stood near the edge roots of energy. They held their breaths, anticipating to see the product of their combined effort to defeat the adversary before them. “Insolent fools,” Arodis's voice pierced through the dimensional rift as the last bit of energy circulating where he was dissipated. Arthur and Linux were astounded at the resilience the mechanical monster before them had, the attacks were enough to shake the void realm they were in and cause destruction on a greater scale and yet the target of their attacks only suffered getting his right side blown away. Their shock did not last long as the Qi levels started to rapidly rise, skyrocketing to a point the dimensional rift showed cracks in its edges. “Something is coming” Arthur informed his new comrade. Linux nodded, she could feel the foul Qi resonating around them. Having been connected to the Source, it made it easier for her to detect presences linked to Oblivion. Arod
Chandeliers hung from the surface of the ceiling, their lament light showering the room, offering it a mellow outlook. The room itself was made for kings and queens. The gold ornaments lacing themselves with the silk fabrics of the curtains. A bed is placed at the middle of the room and at the foot of it, was a soft cushion placed on a chair. The mirror on the opposite side of the room reflected what was happening on the bed itself.Two people were atop of the mellow mattresses, from afar it might look intimate but it wasn’t. One was a brute, the other a prey, two different genders were locked in a staring contest. The female, having her legs on the either side of the male. Her whole body mass settled atop of the male, her crimson hair pulled to one side exposing her neck, she had full lips which were tugged into a smirk, mischief dancing in her sanguine eyes. “ Aether, the greatest sorcerer. Are you ready to yield the Yggdrassil to me? You have nothing to lose at this point” Her cho
After leaving the dining hall, Arthur walked through the large corridors of the orphanage. His hands were pocketed in his pants while he walked albeit slowly. He wasn't in any rush to get anywhere.❛From Arthur's memories, this world has what they call hunters. A special group of individuals having the power to awaken innate abilities to fight monsters. This is not that different from my world, but it seems in this one, only few can awaken and some awaken as children's but Arthur has not yet attained his awakening yet. Troublesome. ❜ Aether thought, as he puppeteered Arthur's body.He knew if he forced himself to regain all of his power at once, the body would not be able to withstand the power at all. He needed to play it smart and play it cautiously.Just his day.As he was walking, he bumped into something, it wasn't hard it was mellow in some places, delicate and squishy. Arthur wondered when did walls have, a soft texture. He looked at what he bumped into and understood.Charcoal
Arthur felt the pain shoot through him. He was forced to spit out some saliva, as the recoil ricocheted across his body. He tugged his hand and darted back a bit, he went in unprepared.“Is that all?”He heard her say.Arthur gritted his teeth and thought of ways to attack while keeping in mind that he was weaker than when he was in his prime as such no matter how much combat experience he has, his body was the deciding factor, the line drawer.『Weakness Acknowledged:Skill Awakened: Blood OrchidPerks: Increases stats with every stack, and can be stacked only five times before cooldown. 』A notification note alerted him of the current development. Arthur raised an eye and decided to try it out. “Blood Orchid”『 Strength: 15 (+6 - First stack) Speed: 13 (+6 - First stack)Vitaliy : 0 (+6 - First stack)Intelligence: 20 (+45 Aether) (+6 - First stack)Endurance: 15 (+6 - First stack)Durability: 10 (+6 - First stack) 』Arthur saw the sudden increase in stats. Interesting, he smirked
Min-yin stared at Evangelist with wide eyes. Awakening just like Argus? That was something big, on top the Thunder Goddess, Evangelist entertained a child's requests? What was the world coming to?“You offered him a fight?”Min-yin watched as Evangelist nodded.“So what was the outcome of the fight?”Evangelist looked at her nearly empty cup and looked back at Min-yin. “I lost, he managed to make me use my left hand to block his attack after I said I won't.”The latter was stupefied beyond belief, an A-ranked hunter lost to a mere child? No matter what kind of prodigy he is, it should've been a squash match. She found herself licking her lips subconsciously, a strong man. Arthur was indeed becoming a strong man, Min-yin had to keep her fangirlish side under control.However, her gestures weren't missed by Evangelist, she just shook her head. She knew how her friend could be once she starts her fantasies about her knights in shining armor rescuing her, the damsel in distress. “Min-yin,
When morning came, the orphanage was bussing as the children were excited of what will be happening today. Their elder siblings had the means to become hunters, they were sources of inspiration to the younglings. Ikki, sat at the table drowning in the attention he was getting.“Woah thats so cool, so do you like shoot flames?”“Ikki is so cool!”“I bet he's going to win this all. No one is stronger than him.”“Definitely.”Ikki didn't know if he should cry tears of happiness or punch his chest and yell to the world. Eyes sparkled, as his ever big ego was inflated beyond proportions. “Damn right you know I will.”It was in that point, Arthur descended to the dining hall and everything became quiet. Arthur had changed his attire, consisting of black jacket with a white shirt, black pants and black boots. He pulled the chair and sat down.Arthur quietly, ate his breakfast, he didn't meet any of the other's eyes preferring to ignore them in sake for keeping the tranquil ambience in the di
The results of the first phase was announced and each of the combatants got their respective points, with Arthur attaining the highest score. Easily besting all the others by a huge margin, second to him was Mineta and third was a girl named Horneva.The exam takers were in the lobby they had been in when they arrived, and were given a few moments of refreshing in order to prepare for the second stage of the exams. Arthur, sat at the end of the room, his table vacant of the luxuries the others had. He did not mind though as he only had one thing in mind, and that was to pass.“Let me see.” Arthur mused to himself, he attained several rewards from when he won against Evangelist and didn't cash in on them, plus he wanted to know what the Ring Of Archeon could really do aside of just summoning a katana for him to use in combat.He swiped his hand across the air and the notification windows appeared.『Sorcerer Supreme: Aether Fie-Yin Current Alias: Arthur Enryu Ranked:? Title: He who t
Arthur slid down the tube that was connected to the pendulum they were standing on minutes ago. He wondered, what kind of enemies he would face, as this was a gate simultaneously replicated to the utmost detail. His other side, Aether leaped with joy, his heart soaring through the heavens as he thought about the possibilities of encountering adversaries.The first thing he witnessed made him dread ever being excited.The place he was in was a huge dessert with nothing but sand for as far as he can see. The sun was unforgiving and it rained its hot beams of light directly on Arthur sapping away his strength bit by bit. Arthur groaned in discomfort, this was going to be a long phase.He picked a random direction and started walking in it, he was trying to clear the gate as fast as possible so that he could escape this dreadful landscape.Growl-He stopped dead in his tracks, Did he just hear growls? Arthur looked around him, trying to see what was the source of those hostile sounds. To
