"Don't spend your time mourning Renata's death. She wouldn't want that," Azurks landed near Zorka."What do you know about my mother, Azurks? I know nothing about her myself. I was hoping to experience a mother's love for once.It's not just here; I've never felt loved by the one who gave birth to me. Even in my previous world, I was born an orphan. My mother passed away giving birth to me, and my father... died before I was born due to an accident. I was adopted by a poison master who taught me his skills until he passed away when I was 17. And now here, my mother died before showing me any affection, and my father..."Zorka looked devastated, still keeping his head down. Tears streamed down his face onto the rocky outcrop he was sitting on."If that's the case, then indulge in your sadness. I'll give you three days to grieve. After that, you need to rise and undergo intense training so you can level up!" Azurks flapped his wings and flew off, leaving Zorka still mourning Renata's lo
Elleanour discovered Ellenasia's lifeless body after Demista asked her to check on her daughter's condition. Elleanour, upon realizing that her daughter had ingested fire poison at Demista's command, screamed hysterically as she witnessed Ellenasia lying stiff.Ellenasia's body was in a horrifying state. Her skin had blackened from the effects of the fire poison, which burned her organs from within. There were dried blood stains on the bed and floor from Ellenasia's vomiting when the fire poison began attacking her body."What have you done, my lord? My daughter, why did you command my daughter to ingest fire poison?" Elleanour cried out.She rushed to Ellenasia's body and turned her over because of the position she was found in, with Ellenasia face down. Her charred body, her eyes wide and empty in death, made Elleanour scream in anguish."No! Ellenasia, don't leave me, Mama!"Elleanour wiped her face and kissed her daughter's face with deep regret. Then, she stared at Demista, who w
Ellenour's carriage arrived at Mystic Summit, known for its burial grounds of unknown or discarded individuals. There was also a sizable village nearby called Whisper Village.Whisper Village was inhabited by families of the deceased who were buried without markers or known locations. Most residents were former vagrants or fugitives who lacked living family and had formed a growing community in the area.The professions in Whisper Village mainly revolved around hunting or providing information. However, their pursuits were focused on rare medicinal plants or game animals. As informants, they would provide details about new graves in Mystic Summit to anyone seeking their relatives, also overseeing all permissions for new burials.Upon setting foot in Whisper Village, Ellenour was directed by the coachman to seek out Frile, a trusted senior informant, to inquire about recent burials.It didn't take long for Ellenour to find Frile's house, marked by a banner at the entrance."So, you're
Ellenour's decision to leave Mansion Kayleigh and settle in Whisper village reflects her desire to break free from the painful memories associated with Demista's control and her daughter's tragic death. Despite the outward appearance of leaving a noble residence, Ellenour feels no loss because she was essentially cast out by Demista after her daughter's death, which was orchestrated by him.Living in the secluded village allows Ellenour to visit her daughter's grave at any time, offering her solace and a sense of connection that she couldn't find elsewhere. Additionally, she plans to start a business—perhaps a flower shop, perfume store, or bakery—to find peace and channel her anger into something productive.Ellenour purchased an affordable two-story house with four rooms, which was once a bakery. The previous owner, married to someone from another town, had to sell the house rather than let it fall into disrepair. With the gold coins from her chest, Ellenour could afford this purcha
Ellenour was startled to learn that the mysterious couple knew about her daughter being forced to drink fire poison."How do you know that my daughter was forced to drink fire poison by Demista, not poisoned?" Bereiner clarified, approaching his wife, who was moving her hands as if dancing to form a black rune."Who are you?" Ellenour asked, feeling fearful of the mysterious couple.Selya and Bereiner exchanged a brief look, both smiling oddly. This sent shivers down Ellenour's spine."We are sorcerers who will assist you in avenging your daughter, madam," Selya stated.Ellenour grew even more apprehensive. Her heartbeat became irregular, and cold sweat began to form on her temples. If only she had diligently studied magic in her youth, perhaps she could have been prepared to ward off the magic of these two individuals. Unfortunately, due to the poverty that plagued her family, Ellenour, still a teenager, was sold by her father to a brothel because she was the only daughter among seve
Seeing her daughter scream in pain due to her last distressing memory made Ellenour panic. Spontaneously, she rushed to hug her daughter tightly."Shhh, dear. Calm down, sweetheart, mama is here. Mama will protect you even if it costs mama's life."Ellenasia sobbed."Is that true, mama?"Ellenour nodded while stroking her daughter's back. Tears streamed down Ellenour's cheeks. Unbeknownst to Ellenour, Ellenasia in her embrace wasn't crying. Instead, she grinned eerily, observed by Selya and Bereiner who smiled back at Ellenasia's grin.Suddenly, Ellenasia's grin widened across her cheeks. Her teeth turned sharp. Then she opened her mouth and bit Ellenour's neck."In that case, be the sacrifice for my resurrection, mama!" Ellenasia said while sucking the blood from her bite.Ellenour could only scream in pain as her daughter unexpectedly bit her. She never expected that the one rising from her child's grave wasn't Ellenasia but a demon.Ellenasia drained Ellenour's blood until her body
Several years had passed since the events in the kingdom of Arcanumia. All the kingdoms and people who hunted Azurks felt disappointed. They believed that Azurks' appearance during the competition was too exaggerated.Some sorcerers claimed they couldn't find any residue of Azurks' magic, which supposedly appeared on stage during the fight. A boy named Zorka was the owner of the beastmaster contract.Almost everyone from other continents and kingdoms didn't believe the accounts of those who watched the match between Demista and Zorka. What was even more surprising was that the two individuals had a blood relationship as father and son.Similarly, the kingdom of Hexonia returned home after finding no trace of Azurks. Even the crystals that could sense Azurks' signals and residues couldn't locate the presence of the blue crystal dragon. Everything seemed futile.Years later, the news faded away with time. A handsome young man, tall and charming, had defeated a large tiger-shaped beastma
The villagers of Mistletoe Village were thrilled to learn that the beastmaster tiger had been defeated by a newcomer to their village. The handsome young man had originally just come to eat at a local tavern. However, a sudden attack by the beastmaster tiger led the young man to help the village of Mistletoe, which lacked a high-level sorcerer to deal with the rampaging beastmaster.With just one move, Zorka was able to defeat and send the beastmaster tiger back to the beastmaster realm. However, Zorka's task was not yet complete. After sending the tiger back, Azurks asked Zorka to find the beastmaster's cub because she was worried that the nursing cub would starve without its mother's milk.Unlike regular tigers that can be fed with the milk of other animals, beastmaster cubs must drink their mother's milk as their primary food in their early life. Otherwise, they will refuse anything else and starve to death. Because the beastmaster's milk contains magical energy that supports the d
