Alliron dusted his clothes as he got up and said:"We shall leave the Orcs to their own devices, for now. Follow me to the northern continent, with your awakened bloodline. You might be able to gain some experience and help me convince the dwarves to ally with us.""Let's go."My response was short and to the point, Alliron nodded and patted my shoulder as we disappeared from the hot desert we previously were in before we found ourselves in a tundra filled with ice and snow.The sudden change of temperature bothered me for a few seconds before I adapted, I looked at Alliron, and he had his eyes closed as he said:"It looks like the dwarves had changed their location, but it's not surprising as they are nomadic people."Alliron's soul energy exploded from his body as he scanned the continent, and his eyebrows rose as he said:"Quite a lot of undead of unknown origin on the surface, they must be the lackeys of the demons. I also found the dwarves, they have noticed my snooping around, s
Alliron patted my shoulder as we disappeared from the surface of the northern continent. I blinked once and the snow-covered fields that were previously in my view had transformed into medium-sized buildings that looked quite advanced as they were made only from white bricks, they oozed a special aura as they seemed to be imbued with souls! I glanced around and I saw that we were encircled by Dwarves. Small people who weren't taller than 1.4 meters, strong packed physiques that were full of muscles, black or brown beards that hung to their waists. They all had full-body runic armor on their bodies, and they wielded runic swords, axes, hammers, and spears. They seemed to be proficient in them as well, as I could feel a little danger from these Dwarves that surrounded us. Their auras weren't anything special at first glance, but they didn't seem to unleash their full strength, also the weapons they wielded were only a little bit worse compared to my sword! Their armors were slight
Red Hand's smile was quite predatory as he looked at Alliron and said:"You know, I have always been making a special training room, just because you always broke apart the public arena when we sparred!"Then he sighed as he continued:"But you have disappeared for such a long time, that room had already been gathering dust for a few hundred of years."His eyes turned serious for a few seconds before they returned to a jovial mood as he told Gold Hand:"Now it's up to you and that young man to test the durability of the training room I created!"At this point, any fight between Alliron and Red Hand would create too much of a commotion, they could already somewhat understand what type of strength each other had, so they wouldn't be fighting anymore no matter how much their hands itched.I followed Alliron and Red Hand while Gold Hand stood near me as we walked towards the special training room that Red Hand had constructed.It took us a few minutes to arrive at one of the biggest build
My attacks on Gold Hand had damaged his insides, and I could see that his hands were trembling.He could be considered a rather young dwarf since he didn't have a beard, but he was pretty strong!I also didn't find out how he could cut my hand while I was keeping a grip on his ankle...I wasn't sure if it was a hidden weapon that he used or some type of technique.So I had to look out for that certain something.My body narrowly dodged a shockwave that came from Gold Hand's hammer as he glanced at me and said:"You are pretty strong, so I will have to take one step further in this fight!"Red Hand, who was observing the fight from above smiled and told Alliron, who was also looking at our fight from Red Hand's left side:"It looks like your little subordinate's luck is running out!"Alliron declined against commenting as he just gave Red Hand a small stare that said:"Oh is that so?"Red Hand snorted as he looked back at the fight.A brown aura engulfed Gold Hand as his eyebrows were
Gold Hand was unsure what to do, he didn't want to die and make his master look weak in front of one of his old friends.But he also forbade him from using the technique he wanted to use.Usually, he would have listened to his master, but this time around, he wanted to push further than his limits and fight me!I could see it in his eyes. He was ready to disobey his master's orders!But before he could do whatever he wanted to, Red Hand and Alliron dropped from the ceiling between us. Red Hand glared at his disciple before saying:"That's enough! You lost!"Alliron chuckled as he saw the conflict between master and disciple before he approached and patted me on the shoulder while saying:"Good job, we have the alliance in the bag!"After he said that, he looked back at Red Hand with a smile on his face as he asked:"Red Hand, now that my friend here has beaten your disciple, will you honor the bet?"Red Hand's nose moved from side to side as he didn't seem to like taking the loss from
Alliron glanced at my thoughtful expression, and he didn't say anything as he teleported us to a homie little town.This place was filled with civilians, moving around, doing fieldwork, tending to their cattle, and other normal farmer work.This place reminded me of my hometown.It was quite strange such a powerhouse like Aratas would be sent to this place...I looked around as I followed Alliron from behind. Seemingly none of the civilians were able to see the two of us walking around the village, almost as if we were invisible.We walked towards a certain house before Alliron opened the door, and I sighted Ludeus's form inside, sitting opposite the man that I first met during my journey.Long blonde hair, clear blue eyes, a heavy armor dotted his body, while he still had his usual heavy Warhammer tied to his back.The paladin Aratas.He was truly negotiating with Ludeus?I always thought there was something different about him since he was using unorthodox methods to strengthen the
Ludeus finally opened his eyes as he said:"I know that I cannot come with you three onto the divine realms of the gods due to my previous allegiance and the body that I currently use."Ludeus was the previous pope of the fallen Wind Church, and now he was using the body of the Fire God Church's maiden.If he went close to the gods, both his body and soul would be surpassed, and maybe even put against us.Alliron nodded as Aratas said:"Its the best for you, let me let you in a little secret, Shira's body which you are inhabiting is the unofficial daughter of the Fire God's avatar, that's why her talent and bloodlines are so good, I can also sense that you were unable to devour her soul and its now slumbering inside her body. I'm pretty sure you know what would happen if we took you with us, right?"Ludeus nodded, but then he said:"I can acquiesce with these regulations, but I have one request."Ludeus and Alliron looked into each other's eyes as Alliron nodded and said:"Sure, you c
The elites of the Church were unlike that cannon fodder that attacked us blindly because of orders.The paladins and holy maidens of the Church kept their distance even though they had revealed themselves to me and Ludeus.They were all having fiery auras full of courage and pride for their Church, combined with anger and the wish to smite whoever had invaded their holy Cathedral.Unfortunately for them, I and Ludeus had a bone to pick with them.They were furious when they saw the undead defiling their holy praying place.They tried to kill my scouts, but Ludeus and I appeared in front of their attacks, dispelling the flaming powers that they threw at the undead with a swift move of our hands!Ludeus couldn't help but mock with a little smirk on his face:"Someone didn't have his breakfast yet? Or did your pitiful God forsake you?"The leader of the Church's elites kept a frosty visage as he looked at Ludeus and snorted:"What do you, a damn thief, know about our great God? You have
