The surge of energy from the face-changing rune was powerful. Even Inigo's eye covered by the bandage felt the waves of its strength. The rune glowed, enveloping Inigo's entire body."Watch closely how the face-changing magic rune works!" Azurks commanded Zorka.Zorka stood behind Azurks, observing how Azurks' magic worked.The burst of magical light shot up into the sky, gathering in the middle directly above Inigo standing on the face-changing magic rune.Then, the magical light descended like rain, falling onto Inigo's body. The light spread, covering his entire body. In a short time, the light seemed to seep into Inigo's body.Inigo's face changed. The shape of his jaw, nose bone, eyebrows, lips, and even his eyes changed.The bandage covering one of his eyes opened. Inigo reflexively closed his eyes. His reddish hair changed color to golden.Inigo still kept both of his eyes closed as the magical light disappeared entirely. Zorka immediately approached Inigo, as did Azurks."Open
For Zorka, Néos's problem was already resolved. The child just needed to obey what Uncle Burt said. Now, Zorka only needed to think about his financial issues. He had to gather money as quickly as possible and buy the clothes he needed.While Zorka was sitting comfortably on the living room sofa of Uncle Burt's house, suddenly there was a rumbling noise outside. Zorka, Néos, and Uncle Burt were startled.They heard the cries of the children who woke up in the room. Néos was about to rush into the room, but Uncle Burt beat him to it. Uncle Burt hugged the five children while comforting them."Shh. Calm down, children. Uncle is here, don't be afraid. You are safe in this house. Those monsters can't enter the house."Azurks, hearing the flapping of wings from the scavenger bird monsters, grumbled in annoyance."Inferior creatures. Gathering and making noise. Just destroy them, Zorka! Besides, their energy crystals could fetch a good price!"Hearing that, Zorka had an idea. Zorka got up f
Zorka returned to Uncle Burt's house. In just a few hours, he managed to collect 50 life energy crystals from the carrion-eating bird monsters. One of them, the largest, belonged to the leader of the monster group.The crystals were neatly arranged on the large dining table. Uncle Burt stared at one of the largest crystals, murmuring in amazement at Zorka's catch.Meanwhile, Néos looked on in disbelief at what Zorka had accomplished."How strong are you, Zorka?" Néos asked casually.Zorka sighed, rolling his eyes."You already know how strong I am. No need to ask about it!"Néos chuckled. Despite Zorka's changed appearance and the color of his right eye, Néos's god-like vision remained the same as before."You're amazing, taking down 50 monsters all by yourself. While the guards with magical abilities in this city struggle to defeat just one monster.”"I just took advantage of the time. I really needed it. Once I get enough money and can buy new clothes to replace these torn ones, I'l
Néos looked astonished as he received so many gold coins. The pouches, each the size of a ball, jingled as Néos and Uncle Burt carried them.Back at home, Zorka allowed Néos to pour out the contents of his pouch. With a gleaming face, Néos counted the gold coins one by one until he reached a total of ten thousand gold coins."Wow, you could buy a mansion with this much money!" exclaimed Néos."Amazing indeed. Up to ten thousand gold coins," Uncle Burt chimed in.Meanwhile, the toddlers joined in the excitement, watching Néos and Uncle Burt count Zorka's gold coins. (The toddlers already knew that Néos was Inigo after Uncle Burt explained it to them.)"I will use it to buy the necessary items to continue my journey," Zorka stated.Upon hearing Zorka's words, Uncle Burt and Néos fell silent. Only the children were noisy, staring at the gold coins stacked like towers by Néos."That means you'll be leaving soon, Zorka," Néos said sadly."Can't you stay for just a year in this house, Zorka
Demista discovered the commotion caused by his daughter. When he returned from his duty that required him to go abroad, he was truly shocked by the destruction of the hall caused by Ellenasia."I heard that Ellenasia got furious. Her emotions flared up because her talent was hindered in front of everyone. Especially when she felt like the boy who stopped the former participant using happy flying was seen as a hero in the competition. Ellenasia couldn't stand it, so she went berserk, wrecking the training hall and injuring some servants at the Kayleigh mansion.Even though Demista loves and spoils Ellenasia, her actions this time were too much. It made Demista angry because Ellenasia is pampered but irresponsible in handling her emotions."How did she eventually stop rampaging?" Demista asked in his office.Elleanour, who came to report Ellenasia's problem, didn't expect Demista to be upset with his beloved daughter's actions."She suddenly fainted, sir. Maybe because she was too emoti
Demista found Ellenasia still lying in her bed. When he entered her room, she was lying on her stomach. Demista sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed Ellenasia's shoulder.The girl's body twitched slightly. Slowly, she turned around and saw that it was Demista touching her."Papa," Ellenasia said. Her lips trembled, her eyes were swollen from crying continuously after waking up.Demista hugged Ellenasia affectionately, gently stroking her back."Shhh, calm down, sweetheart. Everything's okay." Demista tried to comfort Ellenasia gently.Ellenasia's tears burst out again. She wailed loudly, the cries of a spoiled child that would make others sick to hear. But Demista patiently responded to Ellenasia's precious tears."I can't accept it, Papa! Why couldn't I show my talent in the competition? Why doesn't anyone look at me as the child of a great sorcerer who is so important in all countries?" she whined."If I had been the one to save the competition committee at that time, I would have
The ship from Hexonia sailed towards the snowy land. As they crossed the icy sea, Seraphina ordered Aurelius to destroy the floating ice blocking their path.Aurelius used earth magic to shape a giant stone ax at the bow of the ship, smashing through the ice. Seraphina didn't ask for help from their teammate with basic fire magic because it could disrupt the marine ecosystem."Why are we here, Lady Seraphina?" Zephyra asked as she watched Aurelius using his magic.She shivered, clutching her fur cloak tightly. Her teeth chattered, trying to fend off the biting cold that penetrated her skin to the bone."This place is so cold," she said, her breath visible as it turned into vapor.Seraphina, a woman of few words, gazed ahead. But she still answered Zephyra's question."I'm looking for someone who can help us track down Azurks. However, with my arrival here, I must be able to restrain myself from dwelling on the past events of my life."Zephyra's eyes widened."Ah, Lady Seraphina comes
Seraphina rode his horse towards the city of Glassglow, his hometown. Heavy snow accompanied Seraphina's journey. Fortunately, Seraphina's horse was a creature with basic fire elemental magic energy. Thus, Seraphina's journey was not disrupted by the snow piling up on the road to the city of Glassglow.The cold face of the golden-haired man blended seamlessly with the snowy landscape. Seraphina looked like a handsome elf riding a magical horse. Seraphina's horse had a high level of magic. Every step it took produced fire that melted the ice and snow, clearing the path blocked by thick snow.It took several days of travel from the port to the city of Glassglow. If Seraphina had used an ordinary horse, it would have taken a month to reach the city. Luckily, Seraphina kept several fire horses at his residence. And one of them he always brought for transportation purposes.After a few dozen meters, Seraphina saw the gate of the city of Glassglow. The city gate was covered in ice. When he
