Worshipper Arc: Chapter 9. An Exciting test. It’s been three days since the interview. During the three days Valoran noticed that the presence of worshippers spying on him had increased. Valoran and Artemsia make their way to the academy as per usual. “Valoran I feel-” Artemsia gets interrupted. “Me too. The worshippers have become a bigger problem in recent days. My guess would be that the Gods and Angels pressure them on more information about me.” Valoran states. “So what should we do about the others? They can’t defend themselves against worshippers as of yet.” Artemsia asks with concern for the others. Valoran thinks for a moment… “No need to worry on that front Artemsia. Me, You and Demonlise are more than enough to ensure their safety.” Valoran reassuring Artemsia. They arrive at the academy and as always are met with the others waiting for them. They exchange morning greetings and head inside the academy. Once inside the class hall they take their seats and awai
Worshipper Arc: Chapter 10. My Quest. Valoran enters the silver tooth guild with Tiara hiding behind him due to her lack of confidence due to her race as a succubus. Entering the guild Valoran and Tiara see many: human, demi-human, elvish and demon adventures collecting payment, drinking together, and picking up new quests. Valoran among the adventurers recognises two of them almost immediately. “Ohh it’s him.” Valoran says with slight disappointment. “H-Him…?” Tiara asks with curiosity. “Yeah, I had an interesting incident with this adventurer.” Valoran replies. Valoran and Tiara are approached by a fox-demi human adventurer. “Hi there. Based on your uniforms I am guessing that you are from the Magic Academy.” She says with a welcoming tone. “Yes we are both assigned to this guild to conduct a practical test” Valoran responds. “I know. Our party will be the one to conduct your test. By the way, we know you, Valoran Silver. I was impressed during the magic duels, I c
Worshipper Arc: Chapter 11. The Power of Words. Valoran moves closer to the Leader of the Party (the demon adventurer). “I’ll make sure you will never stomp on anyone's dream ever again” Valoran states with anger. The leader is moving backwards, shivering and dominated by fear. “Stay away from me” The leader says, tears beginning to drop, legs shaking due to fear. “Do you have any idea how much pain your words can cause?” Valoran questions with his nirvana’s eye still gazing at him. “Words don’t hurt at all” The leader replies to Valoran with his voice shaking in fear. “You may not realise. Words have great power to cause pain, in fact they perhaps can cause the worst pain imaginable. Look toward that young elf” The demon and Valoran look at the elf who is still hurt by the words told by his former adventurer party. “So?... That does not prove anything… Actually it just proves how weak he is if words can hurt him” The leader states with a slight cocky tone but still dom
Worshipper Arc: Chapter 12. A Deadly Cave. Valoran and the others go deeper and deeper into the caves. Tiara's worry increases step by step, she tries to hide her fearful facade which Valoran does notice and something else… “Her magic awareness is impressive. She might not realise it herself due to her being socially anxious and shy; what she currently feels is something off in these caves. These caves are…” “HALT!” Aleister instructs firmly. Valoran and the others stop. “What is it?” Cera questions in confusion. Aleister looks around the entire caves in disbelief and worry and then he faces the rest of the group who are just anxious to know what is going on. “The caves…tunnels have somehow changed” Aleister reveals in puzzlement. “What do you mean changed?” Alesia questions with uncertainty. Aleister then looks toward the right, the others also look toward the right. It’s a turn that leads to a dead end. “That dead end should not be there, but it is.” He then lo
Worshipper Arc: Chapter 13. A New Friendship.Valoran and the others' only path is blocked by thousands and thousands of Arachantors. “Now we see why this path smells like death.” Says Aleister. “All these adventurers who were unlucky to wander on this path have been met with a terrible fate” Cera states. Egor is standing in front with his giant sword in hand to protect the rest as a shield. Tiara looks at everyone and does something that she has never done before… She does not hide behind the others; she stands beside them ready for the oncoming attack, despite her obvious fear. “I will no longer hide…I can also fight these things” She says with a mixture of determination and confidence. “Seems like she gained some confidence. Impressive” Valoran thinks to himself. Sage and Alesia also raise their arms with sword in hand. Cera points the tip of her staff on the Arachantors and casts izaru (fire elemental magic). The flames burn hundreds of Arachnators to ashes. Howe
Worshipper Arc: Chapter 14. Ava Valoran and the others stare at something unusual in a more open space. “What is this?” Cera asks with curiosity. “I-I have no idea” Sage responds nearly being speechless. “I have never seen something like this before…” Alesia remarks. “Stay back from it.” Aleister instructs. “Yeah…Good idea” Egor comments. What they stare at is a giant magic crystal with a blonde female inside and her eyes are closed. Valoran analyses the crystal and the magic being emitted from the crystal which was in fact the strange magic trail’s source. “It’s an ancient spell that traps this person in this magic crystal” Valoran informs the others, stepping closer and closer toward the mysterious magic crystal. “Can we do something to free her?” Tiara asks out of sympathy. “No. Please stay back all of you, this crystal is dangerous. Not only is this crystal enchanted with a powerful sealing spell, but also the spell extrem (extermination magic), the moment you try to bre
Worshipper Arc: Chapter 15. Out of the Cave After the astral body of Ava faded into nothingness the cave began to collapse. Everyone is in a state of confusion…. “WHAT IS HAPPENING!” Cera questions with fear. “THE CAVE IS COLLAPSING!” Aleister informs. “Why is the cave collapsing!” Aleisa asks with fear. Valoran faces the group who are in a state of fear and begins to answer. “Ava!” Valoran replies. The others face him all in confusion as to why Ava who just disappeared had anything to do with the current situation. Valoran, who noticed the confusion on everyone's faces, elaborates on his answer. “When Ava disappeared, her magic which was infused within this very cave, every tunnel and every subatomic particle infused with her magic maintained the cave’s integrity. Now that’s gone the cave has become unstable.” Valoran answers Saying this the cave integrity became less and less stable. Giant chunks of rock dropped from the sealing which Valoran destroys to protect
Worshipper Arc: Chapter 16. Valoran meets annihilation. Valoran and the others turn around to see a female dressed in black clothing (a black dress) with black hair and red eyes. She stands 16 feet (5 metres) away from Valoran and the others. She slowly walks toward the group, with each step she takes the grass and flowers around her begin to die… “Which one of you broke my seal I wonder?” The others slowly take steps backwards, frightened by the appearance and power she already demonstrates. Valoran is the only one not moving a single inch. “Who is that scary woman?” The elvish female adventurer asks in fear. The others don’t say anything out of confusion and shock. The woman approaches closer and closer at a slow pace creating more fear with each step she takes. Aleister feels a sense of responsibility as the leader of the party steps forward to strike a conversation with her. “That’s close enough!” Aleister yells at the woman. The woman now stands a few feet aw
