The moon shined brightly that night, partially hidden by black clouds and partially peeking through to avoid the pink sand that gleamed like rubies. The vapors from the scorching sun of the day were chased away by the chilly desert wind. As he marched toward the busy settlement, Kiran's shirt fluttered to mimic the sound of rustling wind.

"If there aren't 40 tents, there must be more than 50 of them!" Kiran pondered.

The sound of raucous, deafening shouts in a language other than the one spoken on this continent of Ayax—possibly the language of the land of Shouya. Every now and again there was the sound of a whip being cracked, which prompted a cry that suggested the object wasn't human but rather an animal.

"What are the people doing in this collection of tents that make up the village?" Curiousness developed in Kiran's heart.

Kiran opened the wire fence that surrounded the community when he noticed a dark opening between the two sides of the most isolated tent. After coming inside,

    As Kiran's eyes adjusted to the low light, he saw that the creature in the cage next to him was pitiful, appearing as though it had recently been burned.Based on the form of its snout and legs, it appears to be a bird or other fowl. However, it appears that a significant event has befallen this pitiful being "Kiran reflected to himself, feeling isolated.The thing had a moving head and a long-looking neck. It was instantly recognized by Kiran to be a kind of bird that was at least 1.5 meters tall. "If it's a type of bird or fowl, with a height like that, it's certain that this pathetic figure is a magical beast!"When Kiran discovered through his investigation that the creature next to him was a supernatural beast, he was taken aback."Kiran is my name, master. From the Qingchang Empire, I am from Qingchang City. Could you just tell me why you look so miserable? Fearful of upsetting the creature, Kiran asked only a few precise questions. Most magical creatures had human-like emotions

    As morning approached, the sound of the roaring desert wind could be heard outside the camp, making the fabric walls of the camp where Kiran and Plume were held tremble with fear. Kiran was still in shock at that point at Plume's, the 150-year-old fire peacock, offer. Kiran believed that if he united his soul and went through the Riding process to become a contract creature, his magic level would rise dramatically. “I'll advance to become a level 2 enchantment specialist at a mid- or perhaps high-level. However, this method of Riding is not predicated on winning battles. Will this peacock surrender to me after uniting with my soul?" Riding, as we know, is the process of uniting the soul between a witch and a Magical Beast. Peacocks are known to be incredibly haughty animals. They think of themselves as more unique than other creatures and frequently flaunt their attractiveness or the splendor of their lovely feathers. When it comes to riding and being acknowledged by a magical bea

    Ferdous and Mozhgan are both rogues with modest magical prowess. They became members of an outlaw organization run by Lord Khati, an unsuccessful magician who turned gangster in the Atulla Desert. Mozhgan and Ferdous are now required by their bosses to deliver Kiran, a young child with magical skills, to the black market that very evening.It was said that a Hersen Empire general had asked for a supply of slaves with rudimentary magical understanding. Everyone knew that the Hersen officer was hiding, even though he was dressed in a loose jacket and hood. Generally, requests for mystical beings, artifacts, and slaves originated with the Hersen people.The two outlaws conversed while the sound of the sand blended with their footsteps. Mozhgan said, "We were fortunate to find the boy among the guests watching the auction."The two made their way to the camp containing the two most important prisoners. "I'm positive the witch boy wasn't here by himself, otherwise if he had invaded, someon

    The following is Kiran's attribute composition after consolidating his strength from 'Riding magic' with Plume the Fire Peacock.38 for ATK Attack, 9 for Defense, 13 for Agility, 15 for Spell Manipulation, 13 for Vitality, 5 for Intelligence, and 7 for Element Dominance.Kiran laughed heartily at his qualities inside the camp. "Agility 12 points, and intelligence 5?" This amount of magical qualities is astounding. I consider my present strength to be really dominant. This is perhaps the reason why this dominant power is making high-ranking magic professionals conceited in the world."In battle, magic attack points were a crucial component.In order to win a war or a duel, many skilled combat magicians competed to boost their attack characteristics. Of course, a fighter's capacity to evade the opponent's cutting blows is also greatly influenced by their agility attribute.Consider a scenario in which you engage in combat with a sorcerer who possesses a powerful attack value. And he con

    Kiran was hesitant to assist Emma at first. "Let that arrogant girl get what she deserves. Not everything in this world can be obtained by wealth or aristocracy."But the girl's voice was a never-ending shriek, as though she were being tormented. Driven by compassion and unable to take it any longer, Kiran went to the location of the sound.Emma was howling with fear somewhere, not too close to Kiran.The group of outlaws had already defeated her three other pals, the male nobles of Qingchang, Nethon, Feynrahel, and Arven. For now, they were put into burlap bags and drugged.Emma, who was still aware, was abandoned because this girl was adamant about not being quiet."Help me!"Like her three male buddies, Emma shouted as she was going to be thrown into the bag.Emma's magic power had become immobilized in this state. Of course, with no attack magic at her disposal, all she could do was cry out for assistance.With her hands inadvertently scratching Necho and Ptel's faces, Emma stagge

    In a remote area of the Atulla Desert, the atmosphere was tense. Though it was still early in the afternoon, the four outlaws felt the heat of the desert air when they saw the young guy they had been tracking all night, laughing beneath the date palms."Stupid! He believes he is too powerful to battle four opponents at once." Mozhgan pondered.With arrogance, the renegade spoke. "All right. You have increased the amount that our organization has raised to cover Mr. Khati's loss of the fire peacock! The disappearance of the peacock has only one explanation. You engaged in a procedure known as Riding with It, did you not? The sale price increased in value as a result. "A young witch who has done 'Riding!'"Mozhgan pulled his twisted sword out. This was followed by Ferdous, Necho, and Ptel's coordinated sword moves.Mozhgan had heard about the 'Riding' process, even though they were stuck at the first level and still needed to finish their witch status.Mozhgan's blade burst into magical

    On the fifth day of their expedition to hunt contract monsters, the Golden Arrow Academy students departed the Azure Escape ship.The sun was on the Western horizon, giving the sky a yellow appearance. It would get dark shortly. A child was spotted strolling over the pink beach, getting closer to the spot where the ghost ship Azure Escape was berthed, as the breeze stirred through the date palms.As soon as the contract creature hunting mission started, Kiran was the first pupil to arrive.Glancing up at the spacecraft in the sky, he said, "Professor Richard! Huan Li, Master! Kindly pull down the hemp rope. I mistook it for a Golden Arrow pupil."Peeping over the railing on the Azure Escape's hull were two human heads. They were Master Huan Li and Professor Richard. They both appeared shocked to find Kiran down below."Kiran, is that you?" Master Huan Li enquired."Young man, you arrived so quickly. Has your ride with the contract creature come to an end? The professor chuckled.The t

    The sky was blue, the sun was shining softly, and the weather seemed to be good this morning. The capital of Qingchang was living its rapid life.A week has gone by after the Atulla Desert incidents. Kiran intended to register as a level 2 enchantment magician today by going to the building housing the academics of magic and Knight experts.All wizards and knights, as far as was known, had to register at an establishment designated by the government. The authorized organization for Knights and Magicians to register was the Institute of Scholars.This institute was run by specialists at Azure Building, the nation's capital, and it was present throughout the Qingchang Empire.++++At that time of year, spring was officially here. The sun shined, warming the continent, and the breeze blew from the north, bringing cooling.Kiran knew exactly where Amerigo Zidane's office was located inside the Azure Building as he had been there before.Knock, knock, and again!"Who's outside?

    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

    Tragedy on the Horizon.

    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

    Golden Flame Magic and Black Cloud Terror.

    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

    Army of Mutant Nymphs.

    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

    Decision Day.

    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
