Novel Full Chapter 765 - Something Is Happening...
-----
Three figures looked atop a tall branch within Yggdrasil as they glanced at large groups of cultists walking inside of the city. Alongside that, a dark presence was being carried by all of them at the same time, the three figures could clearly feel some powerful dark presence similar to miasma itself leaking out of these artifacts being held by them.
This powerful dark presence, it was something these figures were able to detect as malicious and evil… it was the…
"The Dark Lord of the Depths? Why there are so many cultists moving to Yggdra all out of the sudden…? I have a bad feeling about this," said the voice of a stoic man.
"I agree, there is something seriously wrong going on in here…" said a female voice.
"Should we act yet? What about the girl? The rainbow sage as we have named her?" asked a third younger male voice.
The trio fell silent as their eyes were directed into the faraway forest surrounding the big city, in there, they all could clearly feel the presence of a rainbow and colorful aura, a mysterious girl with the power to wield all elements which they had been watching over as she grew and developed.
"They had already attacked her several times without her actually having engaged against them previously at all. They're targeting her purposedly, they want to kill her for some reason, and the reason is probably behind her powers." Said the woman.
"Indeed, she's a dangerous individual, but she's the one that could stand a chance against the cult and the Dark Lord of the Depths that they're trying to revive…" Sighed the young man.
"She's a promising fighter and a strong girl. But there isn't much time for her to grow any longer, she'll have to evolve in battle if she wants to stand a chance… we have to cover her back, the moment of truth is approaching…" Said the stoic man.
These three figures were known as Sages, the strongest Singers probably within the entire continent, possessing incredible ability over magic, they had been able to even prolong their lives for many years past their original lifespan.
Such powerful entities had been watching over as society developed, they nurtured and helped them grow while remaining mostly in the shadows, acting as hidden guardians. They had even defeated evil magic users plentiful of times, stopping them from developing their powers or bringing the menace of the Dark Lord of the Depths to the surface.
They knew that there was something deep in the world, a darkness that had never rested and had constantly been trying to lurk into the surface, from ancient times that they had know that somehow the tree of gigantic sizes that spread around each continent had been containing this darkness, this Dark God of Old which the evil cultists of the Dark Lord of the Depths have been trying to revive ever since.
It has been an arduous fight, and for them, who didn't knew that a final battle was undergoing in the depths of the earth, may think that there would be many more in the future, if they ever survived this one, that's it…
They already knew that the Cult had forcefully taken over the entire Kingdom by now, and were spreading their evil influences across the continent too and now that they had reached Yggdra, one of the Cult Leaders, a malicious woman, had already taken the Duke as her puppet, and was using him to order around to gather resources for the strange ritual they intend to do, and well, she had also brought troops to prepare the eventual confrontation against those that will oppose her.
For years now that the Cult and the Sages had been fighting against one another, the Sages desired to maintain order if possible, stopping the malicious influence of the Dark Lord of the Depths from spreading across the land.
Perhaps it could be said that Veronica and Ervas, and even Yggdrasil owed them all a great amount of favor, as they had been the deciding factor of why the Hivemind had not advanced further into his "resurrection" or the creation of his own avatar any further.
"The girl… where is she?" wondered the woman.
"She's resting, but things are about to begin… she'll get up eventually. She knows her goal, and apparently, she already fought HIM through her dreams…" said the young man.
"So you could tell as much using your magic?" asked the stoic man.
"Yes… she was even able to fight back and wound him… She has potential, we have to quickly get rid of these nuisances, she'll come eventually, I can see it through the threads of fate…" said the young man.
"Very well then, let's do our job, as we have always done it…" said the stoic man.
"It's finally time to avenge our old friends once more… I won't show mercy," said the woman.
"Me neither, mercy has never been within my vocabulary…" said the young man.
The three feathered figures quickly flew away into the distance, jumping across the building rooftops and moving towards the castle where the Duke was located, and where all the troops of the cult, the artifacts, and the ritual would all be located…
Meanwhile, Manationia had just woken up from inside her tent, as she had sensed several beings approaching here.
Of course, she had left a large guard of almost a hundred Undead she had risen, from ghosts to zombies, and even skeletons!
She moved outside the tent, as her Undead monsters that also included the ghosts of the three aristocrats, she killed the other day after they attacked her looked at the distance.
"Manationia! This is bad! I can feel something coming…!" said Octo, as he seemed just was worried as Manationia.
"I can tell… this is not good…" she said while squinting her eyes.
She looked into the distance as her aura of mana began to boost her physical and magical capabilities almost automatically…
And then, several fleshy red colored tentacles suddenly emerged from within the darkness of the forest in the night…
