Pale and his team finally reached the city gates of Sweden city, the long towering gate was enough to keep them staring for a few more seconds, as just ahead of them were the city guards of the Sweden city, standing watch.“Pale, with the way I’m seeing it, I believe we are the first team that was even able to reach the Sweden city, what do you think? Do you feel we are going to be in the first position?” questioned Luna Zero.“We can’t tell for sure, but with Alec deciding to go solo, it’s clear we have a higher chance of being in the top 2, If you ask me, we either come in as the winners of the missions exercise with a small point lead over Beatrice’s team, or we come in second,” Pale replied.“I still don’t understand why Alec would do such a thing, I heard he was a very calculative person and a great master of schemes, but It seems that all those tales about him are just bull as he is just another brute, trying to show off,”Luna said as their team of mages acting as nobles arrive
“Come on now Selene, that’s enough, there’s no need to roughen up the boy anymore; I’m sure he and his team have already learned their lessons,” Edward, who had mysteriously appeared, said, saving Pale and his group as the water above their head seemed to move towards Selene, the lady with the scar on her face, as she snorted and silently walked off.“Well, another thing I forgot to mention to all you young mages is that when you finally go on a mission using your rank, there are privileges and rules you have to follow if you want to survive,” Edward said to the whole Pale team, who were still choking as he was starting a lecture even in their current state.“But sir, she nearly killed us. Aren’t we fellow students?” Luna questioned.“You would shut up and never talk ahead of your commanding leader unless I ask you to, Is that clear?” Edward’s head turned towards Luna with a smile on his face as his eyes were closed, just to see how much he was straining them to smile. But all Luna
Beatrice led the team into the house, their curiosity piqued by the shadow demon she had defeated using her human puppet. As they entered, their eyes widened at the sight of the creature's long dark wings, the horns on its head, its elf-like ears, and tusks resembling those of orcs protruding from its mouth. It was a first for them to encounter such a ranking demon of the Abyss."Boss, do you think we could gain some sort of demon related power stone if we cut off the heads of those hell hounds outside?" Zephyr's curiosity was palpable as he posed the question to Beatrice.It was clear that Beatrice had more knowledge about demons more than anyone else on the team, it was as if she had faced them before, if not she was not supposed to have so much knowledge about them. Zephyr couldn't fathom how she knew so much, especially since this was his first encounter with a real Abyss demon."Yea, they actually come with attributed power stones that can help awaken the Black Flames of the A
The entire team had already gathered at the camp area, awaiting the arrival of the last person before the deadline. General Edward was expected to reveal their final mission, but he was conspicuously absent, leaving the assembled teams uncertain and waiting for both him and Alec. “I guess your leader might be having difficulty completing missions on his own since he has no team, which is why he’s delaying things to earn extra points and avoid embarrassment, Otherwise, why else would he not be here yet?” Pale queried Agnes, who was engaged in conversation with her team, including Brandon’s team and Arthur’s team, about their mission options and their preferences for daring tasks.As Agnes glanced back at Pale, who was confronting her about General Edward’s absence, while trying to blame Alec, “He is not worth the time,” Brandon said, placing his hands on Agnes’ shoulders. She smiled and turned back to her conversation, completely ignoring Pale and making him angry, Agnes, who Pale
“Okay, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s refocus on discussing your final mission and why it’s essential that it takes place in the city of Sweden,” Edward declared, his gaze shifting to the frozen Pale.Pale was encased in unbreakable ice, a punishment he would eventually thaw out from but it would probably take an hour or two, However being trapped in the very element he wielded was a form of retribution that struck deeply.As every member of the team and every mage present whispered about the situation, Selene had made the decision to freeze Pale in ice, rendering him unable to escape, leaving him conscious to witness the embarrassment he was subjected to.“Your final mission is to emerge victorious in the next Blood Moon War in the city of Sweden,” General Edward announced, eliciting surprise from all the mages in the room, except for a few who were confidence in their abilities.“The Sweden city had lost the last five battles against the races of the Abyss, Their
It was finally the day of the Blood Moon, and the Sweden city guards preparing to fight in the war were already outside the city gates. They were filled with anxiety at the thought that they may never see their loved ones again, knowing the history of how their previous armies sent to face the second Dimension race were nearly wiped out during the previous five Blood Moon wars. Despite this, they had accepted their fates as the new group of individuals sacrificing their lives for the survival of their city and its people.Alec and the mages of the War God Mage Academy quickly made their way to the gates, knowing that the long wooden bridge they needed to cross after leaving the city gates would soon be closed, so they hastened their steps, eager to ensure they could participate in the upcoming battle,.The city guards who remained within the city gazed at the War God Mage students clad in armor of various colours. They did not appear to be a well-coordinated army; instead, they res
The mages of the War God Mage Academy continued with their daily lives as if nothing had happened, although the academy now felt more empty without the first-year students going around. Meanwhile, Orion emerged from a space passage with his team, with a conversation sparkling among them.“I’m sure your position in the Earth Board Ranking has risen now that you’ve finally stabilized your realm,” one of his follower remarked.“I don’t really care about the Earth Board Ranking anymore, I’ve realized that not every monster is shown there as they aren’t interested in it, so it’s just for show.” “ What I want to know is where I stand in the Captain ranking, not that’s where I’ll find real competition and see how far I am from the best, as that ranking doesn’t lie” Orion replied, clenching his fist as he recalled a encounter that happen recently that made him change.Their discussion was interrupted by a commotion happening in the square. “Come see the board has been updated! And there’s
The Tier 4 Ghoul let out a deafening shriek that echoed through the skies, followed by the Ghouls behind him adding their own chilling and disturbing howls. As they split into two groups and charged towards the Sweden city guards who still stood their ground against the skeleton soldiers with the exception of the Tier 3 Ghouls staying behind to guard their leader. The Ghouls moved with incredible speed, descending upon the Sweden city guard army from both sides like a tidal wave. Alec witnessed the Ghouls viciously attacking the city guards with their claws and teeth , overpowering them in a brutal onslaught, as the Sweden city guards struggled to hold their own against the combined forces of the skeleton soldiers and the Ghouls.“ Release me with a few mages , and I will swiftly deal with this issue,” Pale suggested, but Alec simply glanced at him before shaking his head. “You have not faced them before, so you underestimate their cunning, Lucas will handle this,” Alec informed P
