Capítulo 6: Part 6
Hello again and welcome back to my story. I hope you all enjoy and thank you for reading
Arthur's POV
The last thing I could remember was being dragged down off the edge of the cliff as my mother tried to save me. I blacked out half way down thinking how short that this life had been compared to my previous one. It was a shame but I couldn't do anything about it.
I woke up expecting to be in the afterlife or whatever happened next but was confused as I was in a large forest. It took me a few seconds to realise that I was still alive as I could feel the after effects of expending my limited mana core with a fatigue and large amounts of pain throughout my body.
After letting the pain subside, I got up and checked the surrounding area for any threats whilst noticing the dead bandit close to me as he evidently did not survive the fall. I then began wondering who saved me until a voice entered my head.
"I saved you" the unknown voice said.
"Oh, who are you" I asked.
"You don't seem surprised that I'm talking to you in your head" the unknown voice said with a hint of shock at this humans level of calm.
"Well I've had someone in my head before so it doesn't come as a great shock and I can tell you don't have any malicious intent otherwise you could've just let me die" I responded.
"I see, well since you are here then you might as well come to my place unless you plan on sleeping outside for the night" the unknown voice said.
"W-well then, it seems I must, but first can you give me directions mister" I said with an embarrassed face.
The unknown voice chuckled before showing me the direction in which to travel. I left to face this unknown figure.
Sung-Jin woos POV
We continued our journey in a solemn mood as Alice continued sobbing in the corner. Everyone else had crestfallen faces until we reached the gate that would teleport us to xyrus city, which meant that the twin horns would separate from us.
After the brief comfort from them they left us as we went into the portal and appeared onto a floating city. We were greeted by a carriage in decorated jewels that took us to a large estate. I looked out the window to see the primitive buildings of this city whilst wondering how they managed to get a city up in the air.
We then met the owners of the estate who are friends of Rey from his time as an adventurer and the heads of an auction house. Vincent Helstea, Tabitha Helstea and their daughter Lilia Helstea. I noticed that lilia's age was around the same as Arthur's to which I saw the struggle on Alice's face at this and how she was close to breaking down.
We went inside as we began discussing on what to do for the future and they comforted Rey and Alice at the loss of their son. The sun set as we left to our rooms to sleep, I entered mine and began scanning the surrounding area. I saw that Vincent and Tabitha where in bed and Alice was crying on the edge of their bed as Rey had his head lowered with drops of tears falling from his eyes.
I sighed as I thought if I should tell them that he is alright, I decided against it as that would create an unnecessary situation and ruin the timeline. I then began to sense for Arthur's position and noticed him in an isolated area between the beast glades and the forest of Elshire, I also noticed another being with him that caught my attention due to the fact that it wasn't any of the three races. It reminded a little of Antares except for being less than a fraction as strong.
For curiosity's sake I opened a portal leading there in order to see this creature and give it a warning.
Silvia's POV
After spending the last few days with this child I began to grow attached to him. I watched him sleeping on the ground with a smile, whilst concurrently healing my festered wound.
As I was doing that I saw that time stopped and the surrounding area was pitch black. My face went pale as I began to use spatium to try and leave the area but was horrified to find that it didn't work. I began to think that I had been found my father until I saw a pitch black portal appear with a young man walk out of it.
"W-W-who a-are y-y-you?" I managed to get out under the terrifying pressure emanating from him which made me feel death.
"Shh" he replied as he walked towards where Arthur was.
He got to him as he checked him out and nodded which sent me into confusion. He then turned to me with glowing purple eyes that sent me flat on the ground with fear. He then walked toward me, his every footstep resounded through my heart causing me tremendous pain. He reached me and stretched out is hand to touch my head.
"W-what a-are you d-d-doing?" I managed to get out again after using my remaining confidence.
Sung-Jin woos POV
I reached the draconic like being as I stretched out my hand to touch it on the head. I then began searching through the memories of this thing and had the basic idea of what it was without delving to deep.
This thing was of the indrath clan of the dragon race. They lie on the continent of epheotus as one of the eight major clans that rule the continent and the princess of the clan who ran away due to her love for another. She watched as her lover was broken by the people she called family and came to this place after suffering an injury that has caused her life force to dwindle.
"If any harm befalls him, I will not only kill you, but your daughter as well" I warned whilst walking back to portal.
"Y-y-yes" she relied before passing out under the intense pressure.
I walked through the portal withdrawing the pressure and my hold over time before laying back down on the bed with no thought of sleeping.
As the sun rose I got out of bed and called Beru for more information, to which he told me fervently. I watched the information appear in my mind of the topography of the continent as well as the different forces in control and their power levels. I also learned of the artefacts that gave a significant boost in power and were given to the delegates of the monarchy of the three kingdoms.
"Beru, go and scout out the other continents and find information on the indrath clan and Agrona" I told him in my head.
"Yes, my liege" he replied.
I then left the room after changing my clothes into a black shirt with my sleeves rolled up, black sleek trousers and black shoes. I went downstairs to be met with both Vincent and Rey talking.
"Ah morning Jin woo" Rey said.
"Morning" Vincent said.
"Morning" I replied before sitting down on one of the seats in the living room.
"We were just discussing about how I would become the head of security at the auction house, I wonder what your going to do from now on?" Rey asked.
"Hmmm... an adventurer seems the best option at the moment" I replied.
"Are you sure that's what you want to do, adventuring is dangerous and you could end up dying on the way" Rey warned.
"Don't worry I'll be fine" I reassured.
After seeing my determination, he didn't continue any longer as they began talking again whilst I sat in silence reading a book that was next to the chair. Eventually everyone came down and I could see Alice's puffy eyes from what was presumed to be her tears from crying all night. We eventually went to breakfast and talked for a while before I left to go to the adventurer guild.
Reaching there it looked like a smaller version of the manor that the Helsteas own. I walked in and noticed the overall atmosphere of dreariness and overall lack of flare. I reached the counter to be met with the cheerful smile of one of the employees.
"Hello sir how may I help you today?" She asked.
"I'm here to apply to be an adventurer" I replied.
"Very well sir please fill up this form" she said before passing me a form to fill out.
I walked towards one of the free tables and preceded to fill out the form, lying about most things of course, before handing it back to the receptionists. After checking for any errors she told me to go into a separate room where I would be evaluated. After reaching this room I saw that it was filled with a few people that were also trying out for the exam based on their shiny armour and low mana core level.
After a few minutes we then entered a coliseum like area where we sat down at the seats and waited for a few more minutes. Then another man entered the area and introduced himself as the guild master and the examiner for this selection. They then called up one person at a time to test them.
Most of them ended up in absolute failure as the guild master was both more experienced and stronger than the examinees. After a while of watching the uninteresting test I got bored until they called my name and I walked down the stairs under the scrutiny of the guild master. I came opposite him as we prepared to fight, I was bored so I wanted to end this quickly.
After the hearing the employee at the side tell us to start I disappear from the arena and appear in front of the master with a blade aimed at his neck whilst he had his sword raised up. His face placed at the fact he couldn't see how I moved and where I got the blade from.
"You lost" I said.
"It seems so, S rank" he said which shocked everyone in the audience as they just processed what happened.
I moved the blade away as the guild master announced that the test came to an end and invited me to his office. I accepted and followed him to a luxurious room that was his office as he gestured me to sit down. He began to interrogate me as to who he was and I answered, lying of course.
"Very well then, I have some missions involving S rank monsters in the depths of the beast glades, will you accept them?" He asked.
"Sure, why not" I replied with a smirk before leaving with the necessary information about these monsters.
Might as well increase my army's size whilst I'm on this planet.
I returned to the Helstea mansion to bid farewell to them all promising them that I would return safely and left the city towards the beast glades.
