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
"Merysa never loved you, Seraphina. That's why she cast the body merging curse. She sacrificed herself when you defiled her. So you have two bodies within one soul. Merysa sacrificed herself so her soul could be freed from the suffering you caused!" Marshall's voice trembled.Seraphina widened his eyes. He couldn't accept Marshall's words because what Seraphina felt was excruciating pain after his father disowned him and his mother committed suicide using poison from Marshall. Desperately, Seraphina didn't receive support from his environment. Instead, he was bullied for being an unwanted child.The bullying from around him wasn't just verbal but had escalated to physical acts. Seraphina always fell victim to pranks that left his body bruised.Only when he became Marshall's student, recommended by his late mother who entrusted him to Marshall.Seraphina was an exceptionally talented student. He could master magic with just one instruction from Marshall. In fact, Seraphina could advanc
Marshall, aware of Seraphina's betrayal in saving King Eldermyst who stole the Eternal Ice Crystal, was deeply disappointed. He ultimately sacrificed himself to imprison the crystal with his own life force, leaving behind a trace of his soul to guard it, which Seraphina now seeks alongside the potion to suppress their transformations."You've come here only to reopen old wounds, Seraphina," Marshall seemed to resist Seraphina's intentions."Shut up, old bastard. None of this would've happened if Merysa had just accepted my love and not married that rotten nobleman!" Seraphina erupted with fury. A look of vengeance flashed in their eyes."Even if you refuse to give me the potion I seek, that's not a problem. But if you won't hand over the crystal, then I'll take it by force. I already know how to break the seal of protection around it!"Marshall's expression remained stoic. He simply closed his eyes as if resigned."It's up to you, Seraphina. This was all expected. Do as you wish. But
