2022-07-06 05:03:33Kyle shuddered as lightning struck somewhere in the distance. He could barely hear the noise of thunder, but the dark clouds had begun to cover the skies already. A storm was brewing, and Kyle couldn’t help but feel like their doom was looming over them.
“What the Priestess of the Golden Flame said is correct.” Droigheann’s voice startled the young summoner. “You need rest as much as you need to work. You need to be at full power so those who depend on you can demonstrate their full strength as well.”
Kyle let out a sigh. “I know, I know…” He muttered. “I’ll go sleep.”
The Demon of the Nightbloom nodded. “Yes.” He said and vanished into Kyle’s shadow.
Kyle yawned. He did feel tired. That conversation with Cacophus had taken a larger toll on him than he’d thought. Lying was easy, mixing lies, and the truth was difficult. Especially when the person he was talkin

He woke up to the sound of his own scream. Panting, and drenched in sweat, he quickly reached for his face, and pressed his palms against his head.“I’m ok,” He whispered, unable to take his mind off of the visual of his own severed head, falling into nothingness. “I’m ok…” He took deep breaths to try and calm his racing heart. His chest hurt, he couldn’t calm down.Those dead eyes, filled with the fear he must have felt at the moment of his death.A severed head. Blood, dripping from its neck.His head. His neck. His blood!Distant thunder startled him. He flinched and hugged his own knees. Suddenly, he felt unsafe in this room. It was so large, so empty save for the bed and a couch. There was so much space here – so much space for the four winged angel to fit.Was that what was going to happen? Was Azazel going to cut his head off?He shuddered and

The process of brewing potions was a slow and meticulous one. He needed to be aware of exactly how much mana he needed to pour into the brew, and when. The heat of the boiling cauldron needed to be precise. He needed to stir a certain amount – not more, not less.“So,” He wiped his forehead as he finished the process. “Do you think you can do it?”Irena, the Priestess of the Golden Flame nodded without hesitation. “I believe I can, Summoner.” She said with confidence. “You need not worry – I have experience with brewing potions.”“That’s good to hear.” Kyle said with a faint smile.Irena had surprised him by randomly barging in and asking to observe the process. He hadn’t expected her to be interesting in alchemy at all, nor did he think she would want to sit here brewing potions all day.He took a piece of blank paper and wrote down the potion recipe as it was note

After being thoroughly scolded by both Caille and Luke, Kyle finally managed to calm them down, and changed the subject.“Wait, you did what?!” Caille exclaimed as she looked at the bottle of crimson liquid. “Healing potions? Really?” She whispered wide eyed.Kyle nodded. Irena had brewed two more batches of potions while he was gone, and now that they had arrived, she had been very thoughtful, and left them alone, giving them some privacy to speak as they wished.“That’s insane.” Luke muttered. “Are you sure they work?”Kyle hesitated. “I mean… I haven’t tried it yet.”“Let’s try it then!” Caille exclaimed. “Luke!” Her excited, sharp voice startled the paladin. “Whack me with that sword once!” She said, tightly gripping the potion bottle.Luke let out a sigh. “You’re at full health, right?” He asked to m

“Oh!” Caille suddenly piped up. They had been sitting at a bench in the garden, enjoying the refreshing scent the wind carried towards them. “I’m not sure if you’re aware, but Jeffrey’s clan made peace with Igna the other day.”Kyle’s eyes shot wide open. “What?” He breathed out in disbelief. The man hated Igna with a passion, why would he accept to make peace now? That would mean he couldn’t attack her fortress, or the people in her clan. “How come?”Luke shrugged. “Honestly, we’re as surprised as you are.” He scratched his head. “Maybe there are some real life matters that will eat up his time?” He suggested.Caille pursed her lips. “Perhaps.” She fiddled with her long, green braid. “There is really no way to know. Whatever the reason is, we’ll be using this time well.”“Yeah, that’s a good idea.” Ky

“You’re no fun!” Vis cried out. “You were supposed to panic.”Kyle rolled his eyes. “Yeah, sorry. Not going to happen.” He motioned to get out of bed, but Vis was quick to stop him. She caught his shoulder. “You really shouldn’t be so stiff, you know.” She suggested. “All you’re doing is make life more difficult for yourself.”Kyle let out a sigh. “Well, apologies, but I find it extremely difficult to relax when there’s an ancient vampire right in front of me.” He grumbled, glaring at Vis.“You’re breaking my heart.” She dramatically pressed her hand on her chest, right on her heart. “You still don’t feel comfortable even though I decided to lift my mark from you?”Kyle pushed her hand away from his shoulder and tried to get up again. “You see me as food. I’m not going to be feeling comfortable any time soon-&ldqu

Ripples spread throughout the barrier, originating where the large rock hit. Irena grunted, she was trying to keep the barrier supplied with as much power as she could.“It won’t hold.” Vis softly muttered. Her crimson eyes glimmered as she watched more rocks fly towards the barrier. “It’s not enough.”“I’m aware!” Irena hissed. “Why don’t you help me instead of just watching?!”Vis’ shoulders dropped. She folded her arms and looked away. “I am no mage – there is nothing I can do.”While Kyle did not believe a word she said, he wasn’t about to waste time arguing with the ancient vampire. He needed to act now if he wanted to protect the plateau in its entirety.He took deep breath, and reached up with one hand, while the Necronomicon materialised in his left hand. The pages of the ancient book turned on their own as a

The golden flames burst out of the gold coloured vein closest to Kyle’s hand. He felt a sting on the back of his hand before it went numb completely for a few seconds. A golden marking appeared on his skin, glowing golden just like the embers within the Evertree.‘Independent Action: Link Activated’Immediately, he felt his draining life force restored. The green dome that had formed around the entire plateau began to gain a golden hue as the Evertree’s power filled him, replacing his lost life force with its own.His eyes hurt as the tree shaped mark on the back of his hand glowed.“Well…” Vis pursed her lips. “I guess this is an acceptable solution.”“Shut up.” Kyle grunted as he covered his eyes. Everything was so bright – the golden hue of the Evertree seemed to cover the plateau in its entirety.“You’re mean.” Vis commented with a

“We need to deal with the siege somehow.” Kyle stated the obvious. Irena, Droigheann, Vis, and a couple dozen elves and dwarves had gathered in the grand hall of the Cathedral. Their gazes were focused on the young summoner. They listened to his words intently, and everyone except his two summons and Vis nodded when he was done speaking.“Does anyone have the ability to reach that far with spells?” Kyle asked with little hope. A few seconds of silence passed, then the elves and dwarves shook their heads. Kyle’s shoulders dropped, though he expected this response already.“I see. Then, those of you who can, should check the damage that’s been dealt before I was able to raise the barrier.” He gestured out the window, towards the green barrier with a golden hue. “Make sure there are no wounded, the rest of us will figure out a way to deal with this siege.”Once Kyle had finished his words, the crowds scatt

The serene white light changed as soon as they stepped into the garden. It grew brighter, lighting up even the darkest corners of the garden. “Finally.” Azazel whispered. He calmly stepped towards the bright white light. “It’s been so long.” He and the rest of the group arrived before the tree. The Fallen Angel reached for the tree, only for his fingers to touch a barrier surrounding it. The yellow-brown barrier rippled as soon as the Fallen Angel’s fingertips touched it. Azazel flinched, and pulled his hand back as a look of disgust appeared on his face. With furrowed brows and blazing eyes, he turned around, and shouted at the top of his lungs. “Show yourself, Demon!” Droigheann flinched. “He’s here?!” The Demon of the Nightbloom asked wide eyed as he unsheathed his blade, and put his helmet on without hesitation. Luke stepped forward, making sure to stand in front of Caille and Kyle. Igna tightened her grip on the hilt of her blade, while Cacophus’s bony fingers rummaged through

The fully armoured knight dropped his sword and tried to grab the slimy goo with both of his hands. The goo only latched onto his helmet further as he struggled. The man started to stumble a few moments later.Kyle couldn’t help but laugh a little, though his near brush against death kept him from enjoying Jeffrey’s suffering. The knight soon managed to grab onto the goo properly, and threw it away, only to be met with Kyle’s light magic.“Bolt of Light!” The young man shouted, then as the Knight raised his hand to cover his eyes from the bright golden light, he dashed towards him, blade in hand. He hadn’t used a sword properly in ages, not since he’d gotten his Summoner class, and started summoning powerful people such as Aoris, or Irena. But Aoris and Irena were busy protecting the cathedral, and Droigheann had his hands full with the remaining group of enemies.And he had a particular hatred against Jeffrey and his constant stupidity. He grabbed the hilt of his blade with both his

“Oh for fuck’s sake.” Kyle rolled his eyes as the enemy charged at him and his allies. Jeffrey’s ridiculous accusations and ignorant behaviour was the last thing he needed at the moment.Droigheann unsheathed his blade and struck the ground with it. Black veins spread across the grey marble plaza, originating from his blade. They leapt off the ground, reaching for Jeffrey and his allies.“Fire storm!” A voice boomed. Kyle flinched as a whirling storm of flames burnt away the roots and veins. Droigheann gritted his teeth and removed his swords from the ground. “Damn mages,” The Demon grunted as he stepped forward. His helmet materialised in his hand, and he promptly put it on.“SHALL I DISPATCH OF THEM, KYLE?” Cacophus’ sudden question surprised him. “Yeah, please help Droigheann.” Kyle hissed as he pointed at the group. “We shouldn’t waste much time on them.”As he spoke, several shards of crystallised light formed at his fingertips. He fired them at the man leading the charge.“AS YO

Kyle took the first step down the grey marble staircase. As his feet touched the ancient slabs, he involuntarily flinched.Azazel and Droigheann followed just a step behind, along with Cacophus, who chose to float next to them.“AMAZING, IT HAS BEEN PRESERVED PERFECTLY!” The Lich exclaimed, pausing just a few steps in, and carefully inspecting the waist high walls preventing them from falling off the side. “LOOK AT THIS CRAFTMANSHIP!”Kyle shot a glance at the waist hight wall. It was covered in intricate carvings from top to bottom. Just a few meters of this wall must have taken weeks to create, if not more. “Yeah, it’s amazing.”“Just like the legends.” Droigheann carefully ran his finger along the carvings. “A city of ancient wonders, housing powers beyond imagination, made from the most beautiful materials by the best craftsmen ever to grace the face of this world.”“Seems about right.” Azazel pointed at the buildings. “Any one of these would have taken months to perfect, if not y

The Necronomicon’s pages turned on their own. Kyle waited patiently for the book to settle on a page. Once it did, he read through the spell. It was a modified dispel spell.“Stand back, just in case.” He said to the others. Everyone took a few steps back, even Cacophus who had just arrived. The Lich didn’t speak, but the green glows in his eye sockets glimmered and lit up brightly with excitement.Kyle’s lips curled up with a faint smile for a moment before he turned his gaze back to the Necronomicon. “Open thine gates, lift thine veil.” He recited the spell’s words clearly. “Allow me passage to what is rightfully mine, as I hold the Book of Ancient Secrets!”A moment passed before the spell fully took effect. The barrier around the Ancient City of Necron began to lower as Kyle felt his vitality drain with alarming speed. He looked down at the back of his hand with a panic as the few locks of dark hair dangling before his eyes slowly began to turn white.The mark of the Evertree glow
Chapter 272: The Records Restored
The elderly woman took the two pieces of the hourglass in her hand. A faint, almost mellow smile appeared on her lips as she closed her fingers around the pieces of the hourglass. “I am in your debt, Azazel, young man.” She whispered as she clenched her fingers further. The muffled sound of something cracking sounded. Then, a fine dust flowed from between her fingers. The cool breeze caught the dust, carrying it away from the patio. The elderly woman smiled. “No, come back.” Her voice was calm, almost as if she was speaking to an old friend. “I’m right here.” The wind whirled, suddenly changed its direction, and blew the dust right back at her. She closed her eyes and smiled. Kyle braced himself for… something. “It’s alright now.” Her motherly voice reached his ears. “It feels good to be whole again.” She turned her gaze towards the sky. “It is a beautiful day, isn’t it?” Kyle disagreed. Dark clouds covered the sky. “It is good to have you back, Record Keeper.” Azazel bowed his
Chapter 271: The Hourglass
It was a misty morning and getting out of bed felt like a huge chore. He still dragged himself out of bed, albeit slowly, and staggered towards the hot spring. He paused in front of the mirror for a second. The bite marks on his neck were awfully visible. Vis had definitely taken some of her frustrations out of him last night.He let out a sigh and went to take a bath. She was rightfully upset, and he didn’t care about how he looked too much. He bathed, then got dressed and opened the door of his room, only to see Droigheann standing there, leaning against the wall.“I didn’t realise you’d come out.” Kyle said as he fixed his cloak and hair before the mirror.“You were asleep.” Droigheann explained with a faint smile. “You found the second half of the hourglass.” He stated with a hint of curiosity in his voice. Kyle nodded. “We did. We almost died for it too.” He shuddered. “I’m never going back to the Celestial Plane.”Droigheann laughed out loud. “That is indeed a good idea.” The De

His eyes shot wide open, and he stared at the grey ceiling above him. A couple of moths were walking in rough circles. One of them tried to fly, only to continuously hit the ceiling afterwards.He blinked a few times as he tried to figure out where he was.“You’re awake!” A panicked voice reached his ears. “Rhealis, they’re back!” It took him a moment to recognise Vis’ voice. A cold hand pressed against his forehead as he slowly began to notice the numbness around his right arm. There was a mild pain too.Footsteps approached as Kyle tilted his head to look at Vis. “Did something happen while we were gone?” He asked with a crusty voice. He licked his dry lips. He could use some water right now.“Your arm got charred!” Vis hissed wide eyed. Was she angry? “And the Fallen Angel’s wings started bleeding!”“Indeed,” Rhealis approached them with a glass of water in her hand. She helped Kyle sit upright, then gave him the glass. He drank it without hesitation. The water passing through his
Chapter 269: The Wasteyard of Heaven
Azazel led him through the distorted landscape in a hurry. “They can’t see as well here.” The Fallen Angel explained as soon as they walked through a cathedral door and fell upwards. Kyle hit the ceiling with a muffled thud. A thick, soft carpet had broken his fall.He moaned with pain still. Constantly falling somewhere was slowly taking its toll on him. His back couldn’t take many more falls. “Why?” He asked as he sat upright and rubbed his sides.Azazel flew up and closed the cathedral’s door. “Because of the distortions. They don’t see things as you do. They see what something is, can be, and was.” The Fallen Angel hesitated upon seeing Kyle’s confused expression. “You don’t understand, do you?”Kyle shook his head. “Nope.”Azazel’s shoulders dropped with disappointment. “When you see something,” The Angel said, speaking slower th
