On a cold night, only the moonlight can provide illumination to the forest. Three spies are stealthily walking toward the two silhouettes resting on the shades of a tree. One of them throw two daggers with poison and the two followed it by plunging their sword into the chest of two silhouettes. But to their surprise, no blood comes out on their body. Confusion shrouded their mind but they become alert when they feel a distortion of mana on their back. They were about to jump to escape but they were cut by a halberd. One of the spies died instantly while the remaining two still breathing due to the cut on their necks was not deep. The man who cut them instantly stops them from moving by pointing the halberd at them. “Now talk. Who sent you?” The man asked who cut his allies. The spy let out a loud laugh. The man who has a halberd joined the laugh which confused the spies. But the confusion turns to fear when the man plunges the halberd into the neck of the spy. “You guys are fun
“Since everyone is here, this is a good thing to share the information you gathered.” Crown princeHis elegance returned and the atmosphere of seriousness shrouded us.“I learned two things. First about the person who openly opposed the emperor on his quest on invading the Fyn Kingdom and the Narva kingdom.”“That person is the current mayor in Auburn City. He let his subject citizen freely talk about it. I think he is planning to start the rebellion against the empire. I didn’t meet the mayor in person so I can’t say for sure if we can offer him a proposition to help us but I met her daughter which led to the second and most important information I learned.”I surveyed everyone’s reaction and continue. Some of them gulped and although the crown prince pretending not to care and yet his yes show anticipation.“I learned how to make weapon and shield endowed with rune magic.”That short sentence dropped like a powerful bomb that made them all stand up including the crown prince.I can’
In the middle of the night, two days before the planned infiltration of Jins’ Party to Auburn City. Three spies are currently running away from the girl named Celeste after she spotted them from a distance when she tried to look for her father at their residence. “Damn it! This woman is crazy! She already killed two of our comrades easily.” Spy “How she’s so strong? She already received more than ten cuts from our swords and yet she’s still chasing us.” Spy “Stop talking! Focus on retreating and try to stay alive. We must give the information to the headquarters that this girl can use mana strengthening perfectly.” Leader Tsk. How did this happen? Since the empire try to invade the Narva kingdom, our spy organization’s dead bodies keep increasing. This is the first time in 300 years. It’s just recently but weird things and people with unbelievable power start appearing. The young official who took down General Greith, the Emperor scheming with demons, the artificial core, and no
Five days passed quickly and Jin accompanied by Bea, Robert and Selene arrived just outside Auburn City. Celeste dropped her bag along with her knees to the ground when she saw the damaged and destroyed gate and walls of her hometown. Bea helps Selene to get back on her feet and gives her some words of encouragement. I cannot blame Selene, she was born and raised here. Anyone will get mad if their hometown was destroyed and the friends they made were killed. The travel should only last for two days but since they are on a mission to secretly enter the auburn city again, they need to use another route to avoid spies and suspicions. It will take them five days before they arrive in the city due to the detour. Jin felt angered in his heart when the glorious gate protecting the citizen was relentlessly destroyed. Jin blames himself internally and a very small amount of mana is distorted on his hand which Bea and Robert noticed. Did I just make the wrong decision? We should have preven
I don’t know how long I was passed out after that terrifying beast tried to kill me. My back shivered just remembering how powerful that monster is.Even with my magic affinity that boasts both defense and offense are still no match to that beast!It’s not clear to me how I survived but some people tried to save me.I slowly open my eyes and survey my surroundings. The room is neat and well ventilated but the windows are covered in curtains and only a single candle illuminates the whole room.My body still ached and I felt that my mana still did not recover. The downside of earth affinity is the mana usage and the stress that the body has accumulated after the fight. Right now, her body still feels the stress as the repercussion of using the earth affinity.I heard a creaking of the door and shifted my gaze to it.A beautiful woman that seems familiar but Celeste cannot remember her name due to her mind is still hazed. The beautiful woman walk in and was seated on the chair just besid
Inside the mayor’s residence, a person in the library is currently reading a thick book covered in dust and a spider web.Auburn City was once a free state but when the first great war broke out, it becomes under the rule of the Ruel Empire when Celeste’s ancestor asks for the help of the empire back then. As payment, they will give authority to the emperor over the city but the traditions and laws that were practiced for hundreds of years will not be changed and no laws should be removed or added. And only the bloodline of Silverstein will inherit the mayor position. According to the book, the auburn city is as old as the ancient city of dwarves and elves. But the continuous renovation removes the proof that this city was built during ancient times.I learned a lot of information after interrogating the enemy I spotted earlier. He told me about the empire’s plans on the city and the beast which is the werewolf.The empire wants to unearth the secret left behind in this city. The kni
For the first time in my life since l start living in this world, my wish come true.We didn’t encounter enemies while I was looking for a healer. Fortunately, I found one but it was from the enemy so after leaking a little dominating aura, the healer heed my request. I also brought him along and used him to escort us to the front gate.The enemies didn’t mind us while we are walking and headed to the front gate.When we reach the gate and no one was looking around I smack his nape and he passed out.We safely leave the city and headed to the designated place we planned to rendezvous with my friends and found that Celeste is safe and out of danger.I greeted them and Bea was about to greet back when she felt something weird that made her furrowed.I titled my head and seeing this Bea provide me an answer.“Is it just I or did your rank suddenly goes down?” BeaWhat? Are you serious? I was about to inquire more when Robert confirmed it“Yes, your rank is lower than the first time we en
"I found a book inside the library of your father's residence." Jin answered “What book?” Celeste I grab the book lying on the ground just beside her and give it to Celeste “How… Why… This book is missing for almost a century, even my grandfather didn’t know where it was located so how?” Celeste Then I tell her everything, using the earth affinity magic I found the book and from there I repeat the process I did when we discovered the rune magic and follow the instructions written on the book, found the secret door, the secret passage, and her father along with two heirlooms. Celeste doesn’t know what to say. She was just stunned and keep gazing at Jin which made the latter conscious. Bea saves the day as she coughed twice which made Celeste realize what just happened and her cheeks flush in red. “Thank you for everything. For saving me and my father and finding this long-lost book and opening the box to take the heirloom.” Celeste “My father didn’t tell me about that secret pa
