Finn and the top five had finally returned to Gales, their mana had already been reduced in the fight against the Quinx, and the barrier that surrounded the school dampened it even more. Almost making them throw up.They approached the school and it gave off the same vibe Habe's Bay had given off with the way it felt like a ghost town, "Where's Val and Emirus?" Otto asked one of the first years that was headed toward the dorms."I haven't seen them around." The first year spoke and when Finn asked her about Harlow her response was the same.He might've been a bit late but he wanted to meet Harlow, not only for his sake but also for Gin's sake. "That reminds me, Gin hasn't teleported me in a while." Finn walked alongside his group. "He probably met a girl from the cave and now he's eloping.""What are the odds of that happening, Sir?" Dusk asked and Finn searched through his mind for memories of Gin. "To be honest, quite slim." Upon reaching their dorm rooms, they dispersed in differe
Halestadine rivaled Gales in size, if not surpassing it, boasting a sprawling town filled with larger-than-life inhabitants. Floating vessels dominated the skies, and demi-humans freely wandered the bustling streets.Unlike Leigrix, which prioritized commerce, Halestadine's main focus lay in the medical field, offering healthcare and treatments to all regions under Greatsdane's rule. However, this specialization came at the cost of their adventurers, who often lacked in strength and talent.Their mission in this bustling city was to locate King Caesar. If he wasn't found here, they were to consider aiding Leigrix or returning to the academy, a choice that Micah appeared to favor.Although the journey to Halestadine had been shortened by Micah's use of lightning magic it was still pretty late in the day, the sun had gone down revealing Halestadine’s famous attraction: The Ink blanket.The ink blanket was a rare phenomenon that occurred exclusively in Halestadine, owing slightly to its u
"So what am I gonna do?" Modred asked as he got up from the tree he sat on. To his left was a dead King Caesar who he had found in the Qinqi forest. "I'm just gonna wait for some kids? Do you seriously think I have nothing better to do?""I think those kids could defeat you." The figure said, his tone unexpressive."I doubt you believe that yourself." Modred grabbed his axe off the floor, chopping off King Caesar's head and grabbing it in his palm. "They're here. Should I kill them?""Emirus is going to be here soon, Keep him occupied until we're done in Vancrest. Malachi is already there and hopefully Rescula can get there before Liric does.""You aren't like us, what is your grand plan? What are you plotting?" "Help me keep Emirus at bay, and I'll help you guys ruin Vancrest. That's the only thing you should know." The figure disappeared in a flash of yellow light, the same one that consumed the puppeteer in Halestadine."Nasty demons." Modred walked toward the voices. His Axe. ‘The
Prior to encountering Roman and Ansu, Ysley led a peaceful existence in the outskirts of Halestadine, within the small town of Rebelwood. During this period, his daily routine revolved around honing his skills, with the singular aim of developing a drug that the world desperately required: a universal remedy capable of withstanding even future pandemics. His driving force was a deeply personal one: to rescue his ailing father from the clutches of death."Aren't you going to sleep?" Rosetta, his assistant asked him but he shook his head."Not yet, I still have some work left." Ysley cleaned the sweat off his face before continuing in his experiments.Rosetta looked at him, her eyes subtle and kind as she walked away. Closing the shutters that acted as their laboratory door.Ysley tapped his head with a pen, deep in thought about why his experiment kept on failing. "The values are all correct, so why does it keep dying!" He dropped the pen on the desk, before pushing his chair toward a t
"But Sire, I don't believe this balancing act is necessary right now. Especially since Vancrest has all the chips in their pockets." Rancar spoke to his King."Explain." The King responded, gazing down upon the city of Pluto. Which was one of the five cities of 'Hades'"I believe we should cause a bit of trouble in Vancrest, then after said trouble is over we maintain radio silence until when Vancrest defenses are low." Rancar raised his hand in the air, "Then we strike.""What about Liric and the Sword of Dawn?""If every major combatant helps us in the war against Vancrest, I doubt there would be anything those weapons can do. Especially since we have the likes of the 'Seven deadly sins' on our side." "What kind of trouble do you want to create right now?" The king inquired."I want to send Modred the Fallen and Malachi the immortal to Vancrest, alongside some other people. Let's make Vancrest think we want to steal the Pandora's blessing. When in reality— we come for the destructio
Ysley stood frozen in shock, the seconds stretching into what felt like an eternity. He locked eyes with the monster he had brought to life and an intense soul-piercing connection formed between them."Malachi," Ysley uttered and his former lab assistant walked around him, twirling the pistol in his hand. "You know when I was in that cave. I didn't know what exactly was going on, my mind went blank and all I could think of was your death. But after I came out, I noticed a hundred years had passed. I thought my revenge would never be fulfilled." Malachi stopped. "But here you are, alive and well."Ysley found himself at a loss for words. The students were witnessing a situation that could have potentially led to his demise, something he desperately wished to avoid, especially in this place. "Malachi, I'm sorry for what I di-""Stop! Stop! Stop right there." Malachi put his palm to his face. "Don't give me that fake apology doctor. I know what I saw in your face, you knew what you did.
At first, she had spoken to him while he was far away, but she knew he had not heard her so she stopped. However, she never thought he would jump down to rescue a man he barely knew. "Are you okay?" A voice uttered and Finn sat up from the ground, around him was a dark enclosure with little to no light, reminding him of the cave he had woken up in, at the beginning of it all."What's happening?" Finn asked as he held his head, a terrible headache had passed through."I am the Pandora's blessing known as the Yin and Yang blades. I am originally the Goddess of war, 'Syth' After my death my soul and magic were put into this container to preserve my abilities for future generations."A Pandora's Blessing? You mean like Hajun?" Finn inquired and the voice agreed."The God of death, Hajun. Although I am not entirely close to him, I was informed of his passing when I was alive. So it would make sense for him to be turned into a Blessing by Pandora." The voice explained."So wait, you’re going
As Emirus walked while holding his two remaining students he received a notification from Roman, it read: "I can't get a hold of Liric, However, Ysley is in danger. He is facing an enemy from his past and due to this he will not fight back, so please. Help him."Emirus read the text in annoyance, wondering how they had known that the enemy had been fighting Ysley in the first place. He was too tired to fight again so he sent a notification to his students, wanting to promise them that if they helped they would be put at the top of the class. However, after the disaster that had just occurred, he had no intention of marching them to their deaths. However, even though he knew Liric was impulsive and indolent, he wasn't one to ignore messages that told him to help someone. In the hope that his friend would answer Emirus notified Liric of the situation and in an instant he received a message back saying: 'I'm currently pursuing a baddie from Hades, he's probably going to the Vancrest acad
