Rebirth Of Abium 91 Chapter 91: Terror Nigh

"Hooper, ma'am. I'm a B rank adventurer. These are my companions." Hooper said while pointing his finger towards three figures who sat a few feet away from them. One was a short, muscular male around 50 years age and carrying a war hammer on his back.

The other two were women. Both had black hair, fair skin, which belonged to natives of this area and had an average height. Soon, all three of them shifted their gaze towards their direction by the sudden mentioning of their name and gave a short introduction.

"Good morning, ladies. If you meet any trouble, just tell you are Crazy Smith's friend." The short, gray-haired guy replied with a chuckle. He had had tan brown skin, blue eyes with the darker limbal rings, and had few wrinkles on his face.

"Please to meet you. I'm Selma." Following that, one of the women stood up and said with a smile on her face. She wore a weightless black metal armor outside her brown shirts and same colored pants. She also had a short curved sword on her waist and appeared to be a professional swordsman.

Both Fennelis and Roysia greeted her in response and soon shifted their gaze towards the other woman who wore a cold look on her face and seemed to be concentrating her full attention on the roasted chicken on the plate. She had a dagger on her waist and didn't put any armor on her black shirt.

"She is Nadine. Don't get offended because of her behavior. She is always like that. We all are B rank adventurers." Selma looked towards their direction and said with a proud tone.

Fennelis and Roysia also introduced themselves and starting asking details about the current town's administration.

After a few exchanges, the trio bid farewell to those adventurers and returned to their room with a serious expression.

"Lady, do you think someone is targeting us?" Suddenly Fennelis asked while shutting the door.

"What do you mean?" Roysia became a little puzzled and asked while showing confused expression on her face.

"No, it's just a feeling. Like somebody is planning to put a trap for us." Fennelis face grew solemn, and she started shaking her head.

"You maybe feel like that due to your past experience, my friend. Don't worry, the town guards will capture the culprit soon, and we can get out safely." Roysia said with a warm smile and walked out of the room as if she didn't put much thought into this.

…

28th January, at 7 A.M, Alastall woodlands, Amara town.

Abium woke up from the sleep and started to check that divine fragment before going for the monster subjugation.

After that, he went to the dining hall and requested a maid who worked before in this Manson to bring breakfast. Soon, the maid returned with food and started serving. Soon, he had two slices of toast with bacon and b.u.t.ter and drank a cup of lemon tea. After that, he went back to his room and sat in a meditative position.

Soon, he found himself back inside the empty void and stated at the small finger-sized divine fragment with a bright expression on his face. That white fragment simply floated in front of his chest and seemed to be attached to his body by some invisible force.

Slowly, Abium concentrated his full attention on that divine fragment and finally managed to understand how to absorb the divine energy from it after a few minutes of study.

'Every time, when I want to increase my spirit, I just have to concentrate and pull out the divine energy.' He nodded in understanding and quickly pulled out a cloud of energy. Soon, a white cloud appeared from that divine fragment and absorbed into his spirit body.

He did continuously draw out the spirit energy from that fragment for fifteen minutes and stopped. Because he felt a headache starting to appear as he noticed it was due to continuous concentration on that work.

'Hmm, It seems I need to take some rest for a few hours after every fifteen minutes of absorption.' Enlightened, Abium nodded to himself and soon checked his status to confirm how many points was rose. A surprised expression appeared on his face as he noticed the spirit power rose from 16 to 17.1 in a blink.

Heh, if I continue to improve using this for the next few months, I will soon be able to broke through into the next tier. A wide grin appeared on Abium's face. Soon, he went to the waiting hall and waited for others to arrive.

After an hour, one by one, Lily, Sarah, Helena, Kuran, Claude, and other soldiers arrived at the waiting hall. Without wasting any time, the group quickly departed to the northern gate direction and soon arrived outside the northern gate.

"Lad, where should we start?" Claude asked curiously. Abium fell silent for a few seconds and said with a flat tone.

"First, we will hunt the monsters near our town. Then we will start hunting the monsters on the way to the tunnel, which connects to Baron Harry's territory."

"Good then," Claude and others nodded in unison and started their hunt till evening. During the time, they even found two goblin herds nearby and killed more than a hundred goblins. By the time they returned to the town, it was almost dawn.

'If they started hunting for the next two months, I think they will soon start to improve their tier and may get ready for facing intermediate tier monsters alone.' Abium thought to himself and soon returned to the manor along with others.

…

29th January, Midnight around 2 A.M, Roguedale.

Fennelis sat on her bed with wide-opened eyes while Umi placed her head on her lap and sleeping silently. She hadn't slept the whole night and already on high alert.

'I don't know what is happening, but I'm still feeling uneasiness.' Fennelis muttered to herself and suddenly saw Umi starting to wake up with half sleepy eyes.

"What happens, Umi? Are you not sleepy?" She asked with a concerned tone.

"No. Mama. I feel someone is staring at us." She said while shifting her gaze towards the outside the room window.

Instantly Fennelis tapped her finger on the spatial ring and took out her sword. She didn't even ask questions and solely trusted Umi's intuition.

'My daughter is special. If not, I don't think any deity would become interested in a mortal.' She was very proud of her small child and quickly grabbed her daughter's hand and walked outside of their room. Soon, she arrived in front of Roysia's room and knocked on the door harder.

Click!

After a few seconds, Roysia opened that door with a half-dazed expression and asked in puzzlement.

"What happened?"

"I think today's night is going to be a long one-." Before she finishes her words, nearby two rooms opened with a click, and soon Hooper, Crazy smith, Selma, and Nadine walked out with fully armed.

"Ma'am, did something happen?" Hooper asked with glancing at three of them in confusion.

"Not yet. But I have a feeling someone is watching us." Fennelis said while Roysia was starting to frown deeper.

"It seems Nadine's a.s.sumption was right," Selma said with a startling tone. Noticing Roysia's expression, Hooper starting to explain.

"She is Lady Nyara's believer and has a unique ability to sense danger. She is very good at a.s.sa.s.sin and trapping skills." Hooper's word made Fennelis's expression to stiff for a second.

'Lady Nyara's believer? It is the first time I hear something absurd like this. But meeting a believer here seems to be too much of a coincidence.' Fennelis suddenly felt that the G.o.ddess was pulling strings and felt more troubled. But she quickly calmed herself down and thought of facing the current problem.

"So, can you guess where is that danger is?" Roysia got slightly interested and asked.

Nadine nodded her head and merely pointing her forefinger towards Fennelis's room. Everyone suddenly stiffened up for a second and quickly unsheathed their weapons.

Soon, Fennelis took the initiative and opened the door with a slight push. The door opened with a slight creaking noise, and finally, everyone tensed up as they saw what was inside. Inside that room, they saw a black figure which had scarlet eyes stood on the bed. Because of the darkness, they couldn't be able to see its figure clearly, but once it noticed them, it began to disappear as it never had there before!

"It vanished?" Roysia arched her eyebrows upwards and asked in surprise. But Fennelis didn't relax a bit because she had a memory that deeply engraved inside her mind. It was her past experience in the pocket dimension.

"Don't lose your guard. The enemy may be able to cast an invisible spell or have an ability to teleport." She said with a grim tone.

Her words caused everyone to guard up instantly and quickly looked around the room with a nervous expression.

"Arrggghhhh!" A painful scream echoed from the next room, and instantly the group dashed out towards that room. Soon, they arrived in front of that next room door, and Fennelis took out a magic lamp then it. Without any delay, Hooper kicked that wooden door with full force and opened it.

They saw a horrific scene like before. It was a middle-aged man with black hair. Same as before, his body became sliced open into two, and his eyes were completely dugout while his body was placed on the same ritual circle. But what made their expression to surprise was, they couldn't see any monster there.

'Did it kill this guy and escape somewhere before we could arrive?' Everyone was startled inside.

"Mama, it's there!" Suddenly, Umi spoke while pointing her small finger towards the ceiling. But they couldn't see any monster at all. Even if it were invisible, Fennelis would still able to sense using her spirit scan.

'Wait a minute! It's not invisible; it shrank into a small rat.' Suddenly, she noticed a small living creature hanging onto that ceiling like a lizard, and instantly she threw her sword at full strength.

Swoosh!

Like a bolt of lightning, her sword pierced through the air and directly attacked that small rat. But before that sword could deal with any damage, that shrunken rat starting to expand and formed into an iron golem and blocked that sword.

Clang!

Soon, the sword fell, and following that, that shape-shifting golem also fell onto the ground with a loud noise. At the same time, all the nearby room peoples already starting to gather outside and starting to shout in a panic once they saw the monster.

Soon, the iron golem stood up from the ground and started to change into a humanoid form once again. The iron skin turned into blackish color, and its height grew two-meter tall with a pitch-black tail. Its face was covered entirely with black color and simply have white-colored eyes.

It slowly looked at their direction with a creepy smile with its white teeth and instantly vanished on the spot once again.

'Is it teleported? Or turned invisible? Or shrunken again?' Fennelis scanned the surrounding area with spirit power with a vigilant expression. Soon, she noticed that the creature's presence right behind them where four normal peoples who were looking from outside with curious expressions.

"It's behind us!" Fennelis instantly warned others and swiftly turned back. But soon, everyone noticed a small transparent line near to those people who were looking at their direction with curiousness.

"Run-" Roysia started to shout, but before she could finish her first word, an incredible thing happened. Like an invisible blade sliced them, all of their bodies split into two precisely, and their scarlet blood drops were dyed into their surroundings and formed a ritual circle like appearance.

But that was not the end. Soon, all of the corpses' eyes ripped from their bodies and soon fell into that invisible creature's body. Before anyone could understand what had happened, the creature was long gone. All of them were dumbfounded and watched the scene with horror looking expression on their faces.

"It can turn invisible, teleport, shrunken its body, and even attack invisibly. We have no idea about what this creature holds other abilities." After a long silence, Fennelis said with a solemn tone.

"I had never faced an enemy like this in my past experiences," Roysia said with a nervous tone while other adventurers were starting to nod.

"I have encountered one. Although it was not a shape-shifter like this, that creature gave us a hard time." Fennelis said with a grim tone.

"What type of creature was that?" Selma asked while unsheathing her sword.

"It was an Undead creature. It was half corrupted and could be able to teleport. Due to an elf's help, we managed to defeat that creature. Although we even faced more deadliest creatures, these types of sneaky creatures are the ones I'm most afraid of." Fennelis replied with a heavy sigh and soon walked near downstairs.

"Why are there no guards respond to this ruckus today?" Roysia suddenly said with a frown.

Soon, the group reached the ground floor and noticed the receptionist girl was also killed in the same way.

"We should go and check what is happening outside," Hooker spoke and walked out of that Inn while others followed after him with a stern expression on their faces.
