章節 31: Identity

"Tell me, how prepared are you all to take on a Demonoid," Nuae asked everyone. It was the time of the morning. The night went by smoothly except for a few howling sounds in distance. The tents were not too royal but comfortable enough. Every once in awhile Theodore and others would wake to look for any issues, that being said, because of a holy spirit being around, the condensation of mana was relatively higher. Anyone with good perception wouldn't dare to close in. The morning was looking pleasant though the only one with a sad and gloomy face was Aeneas, who was tied up the whole night. Nuae was asking Theodore about his past training and was shocked to know that this boy literally had not ever sharpened his claws. Of course, he was no warrior or assassin class holder like Vivian, one could easily wave off the possibility of him being a wizard at a glance as well. When he asked Aeneas, even he couldn't say anything for sure. Nuae was quite well known for his skills as Paladin but is a given duration, he had learned a lot of other class skills as well, but would always stay low key due to his gloomy past. "I never thought that I'd need to fight off an enemy as such. I'm quite good at running and agility based tasks. The killing has never been my sweet spot." Theodore replied to his question. After him, Vivian replied, "Even though my class suggests I'm an assassin, I've never killed anyone. My father taught me how to defend myself." Hearing this Aeneas replied with a shiver, "If she's this fierce without training, she'd be a serious threat to my life real soon." To his babbling, she threw an irritated look. "I've always been training with my mum though, we never faced such an enemy. And given the fact that they are on my father's side, I never had to." Naomi replied with her slightly lowered head. "Well, I'm not scared of such filth. I've been fighting alongside our knights and soldiers. Even when we were ambushed, I was able to fend off quite a few of them. I'm fine with it." Catherine replied with confidence to which Sylph gave a nod in excitement. "Nice to hear that. Well, we can't always protect you all, you get what I mean. That dungeon is crawling with demonic spawns. It was one of the settlements for demon races back in the great Era of Magicians. After the 'Gates of Hell' were sealed, they were left-back. Their magic is no joke as well, we need to prepare ourselves for that, or we'll all end up like my dead friends." Nuae replied while taking a sip of his drink in a serious tone to which Aeneas gave a serious nod.

"Let us first fetch out breakfast, we'll be staying here for a while so we need to make these tents better." Nuae said so while getting up. "Tents? If we are staying a while, why not make logs, that'd be more secure and comfortable." Catherine suggested. Her suggestion wasn't bad either, with northern weather being unpredictable, it was really necessary to look for a better shelter. "Okay then, let's split up and work. First, we'll need breakfast and then we'll upgrade our shelter. After it, we'll train okay?" Nuae suggested to which everyone agreed. This time, Vivian and Catherine went to look for traps they set up last night to catch some food. Here Theodore, Nuae, Aeneas, and Naomi started working on upgrading their shelters. After an hour they finally managed to transform their normal tents into somehow better-looking logs. After a bit, Nuae suggested introducing everyone with their abilities. Everyone had different classes and different abilities and thus needed different training as well. Knowing this Nuae had proposed this plan to get to know everyone better, though he could have relied on Aeneas's info, just to be sure he had asked so. "Okay then, let's start with me. You all know me as Nuae. I'm a demi-human, kind of a hybrid. I'm more beast-men than human though. My class is on Knight and Paladin as a specialty. My current level is somewhere 30-31 in swordsmanship and I'm aiming for the title of "Eternal Blades'." Hearing his description everyone got a clue of what he was asking about. Then Catherine spoke, "Okay, I'm Catherine as you all know, I'm the princess of Antioch, daughter of the queen Chloe and King Erick. Unfortunately, he's not with us anymore, but before he departed he bestowed me with ancient magic allowing me to use Spirit Magic, Wind Spirit Magic to be precise. Sylph is one of the four elemental Spirits that we know. But I'm yet to grasp a good control on her. My class is Wizard and I'm Vulpine that makes me even less human. I'm currently at 17 levels and…Oh yeah my subclass is noble." After her Nuae looked at Vivian who was already in awe listening to all of this. "Ahem! Hmm! Okay, I'm Vivian and I'm completely totally Human! Only daughter to the throne of the lake city. By class, I'm an assassin and a level 15 at that and I don't really know my subclass or my specialty, that's something my father said I haven't awakened yet." Hearing this Nuae and Aeneas gave a nod before looking towards Theodore. "Kid your turn!" Nuae spoke to which he replied, "I'm Theodore, Son of King Evan and Queen Lira. I'm the youngest sibling among us three. By species, I only know I'm not entirely human, and about my class, I was told I hold a class that no one had heard in a long time." Hearing this Aeneas couldn't help but ask, "What did they say?" "It's a Blood Sorcerer class, and my subclass is something I don't know. My father said it's something that no one knows but that is the reason behind my agility. And My level is around 14 or so." Hearing this Aeneas was at a loss of expressions. "Did he said, Blood Sorcerer? Isn't that class extinct? And what is his subclass anyway?" Nuae asked these questions to already baffled Aeneas. "Lira! Heard it somewhere. Anyways, you are no normal kid so let's not just throw anything at you right now. But, we'll teach you other all stuff." Aeneas said so with a change in his expression from being a bit silent to being a bit mischievous. Looking at his expression Theodore started questioning himself. Nuae then turned towards Naomi and asked, "If you are not comfortable, you can skip it okay?" But to his surprise, she stepped forward, "As if I will, I can't just sit and hear your introductions. Let me introduce myself as well!" Hearing this, he didn't complain. "I'm Naomi, younger sibling to my brother Arlo and daughter of the King of Etherblade, Fintis. I'm a Pure Blooded Vampire, but rest assured as I don't need blood to sustain myself. I'm still a half Vampire, not fully evolved is what you call that! My bloodline is awakened and thus I don't need the blood anymore, I'm fine with normal food. My class is Paladin Knight and the subclass is Berserker. I just crossed into the Legendary realm of levels with mine being at 21." Hearing this everyone felt a chill. Pure blooded vampire, even though she was a half-vampire, there weren't many to begin within this world. And her stats were crazy high, a legend. Nuae felt a bit of respect towards her hard-work. He knew how hard it was to break through into the legendary realm and at such a young age.

After everyone was finished with their introduction Nuae finally began their training. "We are now heading in the Kingdom of Alicia. It's a well-known Kingdom for its regulatory knights. We need you to at-least get twice as strong as them or we won't be able to get through even the first floors of the Labyrinth of the Ashes Dragon." "Labyrinth of Ashes Dragon? What is this now?" Theodore questioned. "It's the name of the dungeon we are heading next," Aeneas spoke before Nuae could reply. "Locals say there's still a nest of dragons slumbering. Who knows what lies in the depth of that shithole? We encountered dark elves on the primary floors. And that bloody dungeon has somewhere about 20 floors." It isn't going to be that easy Aeneas." Nuae explained his worry to Aeneas who was helping Theodore in learning self-defense. "Who said it was going to be easy. We will get that Tear of Oizys." Vivian answered to Nuae's worry with her determined eyes. Hearing this he let out a slight sigh and began their training again with new energy.
