That night was a dead moon in the sky of Qingchang City. But that doesn't mean that the sky is gloomy. The light of the stars seemed to break through and enter the sidelines on the third floor of the library of Golden Arrow Academy, making the mysterious atmosphere feel obvious, as the figure of the teenager seemed to be sitting diligently among the pile of books and parchment copies of various ancient magic techniques.When the gloomy light of the stars and the light of the flooded oil lamps illuminated the library, occasionally visible grains of dust moved thinly each time Kiran opened sheet after sheet copy of magic attack techniques and spells on Ancient parchment in the Devari language.Although his chest felt tight, and he occasionally sneezed due to the invisible puff of dust, Kiran diligently studied the ancient mantra in the foreign language.There is also a thick dictionary that rests near Kiran, a special dictionary for translating Devari into the common language used in al
It was noon, and the sun was directly overhead. Outside the library, the Golden Arrow Academy was bustling with people. It was lunchtime, so all the students and faculty were preparing to head to the Cafetaria for lunch.Young men in loose robes that waved in the wind were milling about as the academy bell rang.This was also the case in the library, a place of gentle embrace where one opened the pages of secrets. Kiran was currently still focusing on defense magic at the moment.Many students and visitors who had been sitting quietly in the library while reading books immediately got up and left the library in droves towards the Cafetaria.A messenger - he was an elf race who worked at the academy suddenly appeared beside Kiran, who was still struggling - staying to read the books on magic defense."Master Cho informed that he will meet you two days from now. The location is on the third floor of this library when the sun is just rising. You can rest today." said the messenger elf.K
Kiran was not a novice in the field of magic. Although his level of proficiency in cultivating purple enchantment energy was only at level one, his training and vigilance were high for level one.After feeling the subtle vibrations and sensing the unfamiliar energy, Kiran pranced through the quaint and dimly lit book passages lit by the oil lamp. The sound of his steps blended into the silence, swept away by the presence of books that held many ancient techniques and secrets within them.Kiran felt his chest pounding as he slipped between shelf after shelf of books, with the scent of worn paper treated with a special preservative with an unfamiliar aroma.And the figure stood with its back to Kiran, its tall figure silhouetted."Gotcha!" whispered Kiran, eyes full of courage. He was happy he had caught the stranger emitting magical, solid energy. Without realizing it, Kiran took out The Tempest, a magic wand already in his hand.The dark-robed figure stood silently facing him while an
Since last week, Kiran has made tremendous progress in memorizing ten attack and defense spells. Although all these spells belonged to the category of zero-grade spells, their specialty could not be ignored. They were ancient spells from the Devari tribe, famous for being a tribe of witches.On the last training day, Master Cho saw the results of Kiran's efforts and stated, "You seem to be ready to compete in the Nipanan Elixir Mine. Your attack and defense magic is very adequate for the battle there."Since the morning, Kiran had shown all his abilities, combining attack and defense magic, and Master Cho sincerely praised Kiran's progress."However, to make the battle easier, it is highly recommended to improve your CAST skill. And the easiest way to improve it is through elixirs," Master Cho explained to Kiran during their intensive training in the special room reserved for genius category students.(Just like living rooms, genius category students also had their training room separ
The next journey was no longer a significant experience. The horse-drawn carriage galloped towards Nipanan Mine without any obstacles. No monsters or demonic creatures dared to obstruct the carriage, let alone rogues or street criminals. It was as if everyone had been scared off and chose not to deal with the carriage's passenger, a warlord called Master Cho, who proved his power through his apprentice, Kiran!The night passed quietly, the sound of the partridge signalling the arrival of morning. The chariot began to tread the rocky ground towards the top of Nipanan Hill. Across the rocky hill, the whole carriage shook.Kiran felt sick but didn't dare express it. Moreover, he glanced at the master, who seemed to meditate as if not disturbed by the shaking.As the sun was about to set in the afternoon, it was the breaking point when Kiran felt like spitting something out of his mouth.Suddenly, the train Kiran was travelling on came to an abrupt stop. Kiran was the first passenger to j
Kiran jumped into a black vortex that swirled like a black hole in space.WUSH!His body suddenly vanished.The surrounding scenery turned into shimmering light, as if lightning flashed across the sky. Although this experience was new, Kiran stared at the short travel passage with confidence. He tried to feel the sensations within the portal path that was rapidly becoming familiar to him.BLAM!The moment he was changed in the blink of an eye. Kiran felt his body slammed hard out of the silver-lit passage. Luckily, Kiran was always on the alert.Tap - tap!He realized he was squatting with his hands and feet on the ground. And he realized that it was a large room that seemed empty. There were many hallways in sight, which were the exits from the arrival room."The process of traveling through the black hole portal is so fast. If I'm not careful, my body could hit the ground hard," Kiran thought.WUSH!Kiran wasted no time. He immediately got up and ran away from the landing room.But
His name was Makhel, a 16-year-old waterbender. His face was quite attractive, adorned with grey hair, with a small posture, but he looked muscular. But this Makhel has a very annoying character, which makes many people dislike him. He was the top genius of the Scarlett Call Clan in Tengzhi City. All the youngsters and magicians in this Clan did not attend academies or magic schools, and they trained within the Clan with techniques and hereditary magic.It was this Makhel who backed and attacked Kiran. And because he only practiced within the Clan without mixing with the outside world, Makhel didn't know that Kiran won the magic tournament.When Kiran was attacked by the Waterbender, Makhel, who had surprised him earlier. Kiran was just about to pluck the green Elixir when the unexpected attack hit him.BRAK!Kiran fell to the ground and kissed the ground; his head was dizzy, and silver stars seemed to fill his mind.From the ground, face down, Kiran heard Makhel's voice say disparagi
The sun shines brightly, and the birds glimps in the blue sky. On the hills of the Nipanan Mine, the teenagers, one by one, emerged from inside the mine, blowing out dust and laying their feet on the ground.BOOM!Kiran crashed and rolled over the dusty ground. Fortunately, he has a good level of efficiency, although still low, allowing Kiran to quickly get a balance and stand even though his legs still feel shaky.Kiran looked around and felt relieved Master Cho was still waiting for him, staring at him with a clear curiosity on his face."What's the elixir you brought?"++++The Master and the disciple sought refuge from the sharp eyes of many.In places like this, it's wise to take care of yourself and hide the harvest and the grain from the jealous eyes of others. Although the elixir in the Mining Nipanan may only be valuable to a beginner witch, building the foundation of a first-level magic charm is essential in the development of any prospective witch who wants to be great. Str
All evidence of the fight from the previous night was sealed on the chilly morning in the spruce forest when the wind rustled, bringing the snow flowers that dropped to the ground. As far as the eye can see, the landscape is now all white and gray.Roneko walks with Kiran as they stroll around the campsite. He kept asking the Kyuubi Roneko to tell him what had happened the previous night."Please tell me again, Roneko. Are you certain that the fire-phoenix figure is a representation of the powerful magic deed I performed?" Kiran did not give up.Roneko confirmed, a desperate look on his face and a smirk that showed the master never believed a word he said. Haven't you heard yourself, My Lord Kiran? Zephyr himself attests to your surprising golden Phoenix magic. So why ask the same question over and over again?"Kiran chuckled, still wearing a simple, disbelieving expression, "The issue is, I only rode once. With the Fire Peacock, even then. Not gold, but red is the color of the flames
Minutes before the silver-eyed eagle left, after she received orders from the Nymph Leader, Roneko the Kyuubi had been watching the events between the silver-eyed and the Nymphs.While everyone was fixated on the battle on the horizon, the one between the Frost Giant - Ymir and the Golden Phoenix Silhouette, the Nymph Leader was trying to find an opportunity. He secretly summoned the silver-eyed eagle to inform the ruler of the Ice Palace of their dire situation.Who would have thought? From the Ternola Forest's side, Roneko watched all the happenings with great vigilance.When she saw the gray-colored light flashing from the Nymph's group, branching rapidly towards the horizon, it was at that moment that her figure wearing a red-colored dress also flashed, chasing after the Silver-Eyed Eagle.On the other hand, on the Nymph's side, such a crucial moment was not missed by the Nymph Leader.With eyes blazing, mouth wide open, she shouted frantically, "There's something red attacking th
It was cold at night, and the wind was strong. There was a deep freeze in the Wonderland Realm, and there was a strange feeling in the air near the Spruce Forest.At the very moment that everyone in the Ternola Forest thought they were safe behind the magic mirror shield, a terrified cry rang out."Look! "The magic mirror is about to break!"Right away, things went from orderly to chaos.All the creatures that were protected by the magic of 100 Twilight Turtles became scared."Someone needs to do something! We'll all die if we don't!""Oh, is there still any magic power that can defeat that damned thing?"When Ymir's fist hit something, it made a loud noise, and the magic mirror's crackling sound scared everyone.In fear, they let out a roar, and then there was a sudden flight towards the crystal mirror, which was getting more and more cracked. It might even break soon."Who is it?""Where did that golden-colored figure come from?""The light of its body is dazzling!"All the people w
Strings, strings, stringsThe harp strings tinkled softly as the Nymph Leader played strange notes on the strings. The other Nymphs looked sad and murmured as if they were singing with very low pitch and words. It gave everyone shivers."Damned magic!""They're summoning supernatural beings!"Fear crept up on the people who lived in the Ternola Forest.Right then, the sky on the horizon turned dark in an instant. There were black clouds in the sky that stopped the moonlight and starlight from falling to the ground.The air got colder all of a sudden. At the edge of the cypress forest, the still water looked like it was freezing as a cold wind filled the air.In the distance, you could hear footsteps. The sound was so loud that it made the ground shake, snowflakes fall, and water splashes fall right away.Press, press, press!From the north, everything watched with wide eyes."Ymir!" "Ice Giant!"Ymir was a mythical giant from Norse times. He was made of fire and ice and was very scary
The golden-red flame that shot out of Kiran's body at that precise instant was not your typical flame, not one that could be ignited by a five-hundred-year-old Fire Peacock.Other species hardly ever saw this weird, perpetual glow. The color of the fire is gold.The first person to recognize this was Roneko, the fire chakra master Kyuubi. When the strangely hot light of immortality erupted from Kiran's flesh, she was the closest to him."Professor. This is fire that never goes out. Not a fire that a contract creature like a fire peacock might release." Roneko said, looking shocked.The monster that arose from Kiran's spirit was not a fire peacock, in Kyuubi's opinion.Roneko dared to confirm that, despite being a different species of bird, "it's not a peacock at all." What an odd bird. Unfortunately, Roneko reflected, that figure appears to be bound by a curtain of magic, which makes it look exceedingly enigmatic.Roneko heard Kiran's voice offering directions while he was still unsur
Diolos the Pegasus felt drowsy all of a sudden that night as the cold seeped in through frost petals falling from the sky.He gave it some curious thinking. Diolos thought to himself, "I don't usually get sleepy so early in the night." Whining, he asked Kiran, who appeared to be experiencing sleepiness as well. The night sky served as his roof while he worked hard to spread out a sleeping mat beneath a fir tree.The whimpering voice of Diolos disturbed Kiran, and he chastised the Pegasus. "Slept on, Diolos. There's still a long way to go. This Wonderland Realm ends at the White Witch's Ice Palace. You'll require more stamina tomorrow." He gave his advise, and Kiran fell asleep almost immediately.His bed was the dried straw mat that was spun into a mat. Simultaneously, the down blanket—the most opulent piece of gear available at the time—attempted to shield every Ternola Forest species from the chilly night air. Although snowflakes started to fall from the sky that night, nobody's slu
This large area appeared appropriate for erecting a makeshift tent the night before the weird incident, when Kiran and his two groups came, along with Zephyr and the war party from the Ternola Forest.Zephyr firmly exclaimed, "We'll rest until morning, then continue our journey to the Northern Palace!""Finally resting too..." Zephyr, the war leader, gave the order, much to the relief of the members of the special warband.The military men of all the ethnicities quickly and deftly erected tents. On the other hand, others made meals, gave each combatant medicine, and provided water.There were ten animals each race, and each race had dedicated people who planned the accommodations.Food like that eaten by creatures outside the Realm is no longer of the utmost importance in the Ternola Forest of this Wonderland Realm, where miracles occur beyond logic and conventional sense.Every race in this Realm has a number of shamans with magical abilities that can turn botanical components into p
Tet - tet - tet...The five hundred Silent Owl troops whistled a war song, producing a sound like a trumpet. It was intentional to purposely amplify the sound of these hundreds of Silent Owls flapping their wings, creating an echoing sound that made anyone who heard it shiver, much like thousands of dragonflies flying.The wind-controlling foxes appeared to clear the path by marching orderly through Ternola Forest, behind the troops as they walked on the snow-packed road, all while making their clomping footsteps audible. The Breeze Foxes occasionally whistled, and when the wind picked up speed, it blew the snowdrifts aside, revealing the route north and allowing the men to advance without difficulty.Thousands of creatures living in the Ternola Forest lined both sides of the road as they saw the magical beast army's procession, which resembled a human army march.A thousand troops of tiny beings known as Spark Sprites, who could conjure electric sparks, strode silently but with a for
Kiran became a little uneasy as Zephyr explained the plot to overthrow the White Witch, the King of the Ice Palace, and organize an uprising."Do you men in this Ternola Forest have an army to attack the King? If so, are you soldiers with training?" Kiran asked a question that made sense. If there were no skills at all, wouldn't every resident of this Ternola Forest perish needlessly in a conflict, especially against a well-trained Royal army?Zephyr grinned and replied, "My dear friend Kiran, you need not worry," after hearing her remarks, which appeared apprehensive. We have multiple troops in this woodland, and they are all magically skilled. When you finally get to see them tomorrow, you'll be shocked.""Tomorrow?" Kiran inquired. "You will start the attack tomorrow?" With incredulity, he asked. Kiran's worry was visible on his face. These residents of Ternola Forest were careless and inconsiderate of their strength.Zephyr answered with the naiveté of a ten-year-old: "That's corr
