Rebirth Of Abium 64 Chapter: 64 Royal Rank

"Nicolaus, Aren't those two skeletons looks so familiar?" A women with snow-white hair and fox ears asked. Yes! That was Umi's mother, Fennelis. Behind her stood Umi, and she appears taller and more mature than before.

"I also have the same doubt, ma'am," Nicolaus replied with a weary tone and unsheathed his long sword. Its been six months after they got separated from Abium. At first, Nicolaus thought, they would be transported to their Umi's homeland or outside that maze.

But they never expected they would once again transport inside that pocket dimension. But before Nicholaus and Fennelis could ask that mischievous G.o.ddess about what they have to do to get out, she left them alone in the same forest where they first transported.

'Well, thanks to her, my warrior cultivation is increasing in amazing speed.' Nicolaus deep blue eyes soon gazed upward towards the large blue screen. Due to that artificial burning mini sun, he barely able to see what appeared in that blue screen.

"I think these two are the last skeletons for completing this mission." He spoke out loud, and the next instant, wind elemental energy formed around his body and created like some barrier. Yes, he had already advanced into fifth tier warrior and on the verge of breaking through into the next one.

"Umi! We need your help to hold that small skeleton for one minute." Fennelis said as she unsheathed a short sword from her waist.

"Okay, Mom. I will handle that." Umi spoke without any stutters and dashed forward like a flash of lighting. Her speed was so fast, and in a blink, she arrived in front of that small skeleton and thrust it with her curved dagger. Meanwhile, Fennilis and Nicolaus also moved forward to confront that dark knight.

Clang! Clang!…

Boom! Crack! Thud!

Umi's silently evaded that small skeleton's attacks and finally landed a heavy kick on that skeleton and completely broke that little skeleton's neck. Although her strength and agility almost reached above 9, her control over her power was still lacking.

"Mama! That skeleton's head broke." She said with a foolish grin on her face and returned her gaze towards them. Fennelis already blocked that two-meter tall knight's broad sword while Nicolaus's long sword imbued with intermediate sword aura already pierced that Dark knight's skull from behind and decapitated that knight's head.

Thud!

That black skull rolled on the ground leaving a corrupted magic crystal.

Umi quickly ran towards her mother, and soon all three of them looked upward at the sky.

[Mission: Kill all the undead skeletons in level 3 area within six months. Time Remaining : 3 days, 5 hours, 20 minutes.

Success: Unknown

Failure: Death

Number of Partic.i.p.ants: 3

Number of Kills 2000 undead skeletons / 2000 undead skeletons]

Sigh!

The next instant, a magic circle appeared under their foot, followed by spatial disturbance.

Swoosh!

All three of them disappeared from that forest and found themself back inside that same core room, where those many artifacts placed in there.

"So how many points do we have?" Fennelis asked with sparkling eyes. They have been saving those points in the past months for purchasing important things here.

[The total number of points: 13,700 points (500 for slaying 500 skeleton soldiers + 2000 for slaying 1000 Elite skeleton soldiers + 1200 for slaying 400 phantom killers + 4000 for slaying 100 corrupted death knights + 1000 for Slaying 1 Dark Knight + 5000 for slaying one skeleton lord from the undead realm.)]

"Wow! Is this really our work?" Fennelis rubbed her eyes. Well, in these past few months, all they had done was fighting these skeletons. These skeletons almost made their expression sick.

"Ma'am, Do you think that G.o.ddess will reappear once again?" Nicolaus muttered.

"Tsk, Lad, I don't think she will come. From my guess, she seems to be fond of my daughter, or should I say, she has some ulterior motive behind her actions. Don't mind about her for now. Once we get out, you can meet up with that half-elf and ask him those doubts." Nicolaus nodded at her and shifted his gaze towards the other screen where the artifacts lists were shown.

"Two high-rank bloodline strengthening potions for both of us," Fennelis spoke and quickly spent 6000 points to buy those potions. She didn't know how it would affect both their body but promptly gulped it down while giving another one to her daughter.

The same thing happened like before as both blanked out, and their spiritual form started to appear outside their body. Slowly it began to increase, followed by both Umi's and Fennelis's body appearance started to change. Fennelis's silvery hair turned to snow-white, and her eyes changed to sky blue color.

As for Umi, her silver hair also changed into a golden color, and her height started to increase. Then domination aura appeared inside the room, followed by the temperature drop. As Nicolaus watched all these, he shivered a little.

After a few seconds, both regained their consciousness and felt both of them increase in strength.

"Oh! Ami's bloodline also increased, huh! good." She nodded with a warm smile on her face and checked her own strength.

'Ho! In my whole life, I never thought my bloodline will rose to n.o.ble rank.' As for her daughter Umi, she's already a Royal rank now. Even n.o.ble families have to pay respect to her from now on in the Beast empire.

She knew how hard it was to break the bloodline shackles for a commoner beast kin. Because there were no G.o.ds, who would be willing to help beast kin, and without any G.o.d's blessing, they won't be able to remove their bloodline shackles at all.

'Well, if not for that peaceful agreement between the Elven kingdom and the Beast empire, all our kins might have already died.' She bit her lips and soon shifted her gaze towards the list.

"Nicolaus, you can choose your reward." Nicolaus nodded his head, then shifted his head towards the screen.

'Hmm, what should I choose now?' His pondered. What he needed most was a sword.

His eyes searched everything in that screen, and soon he chose a sword called sword of deception made of meteoric iron. There were no spells inscribed inside this sword, but still, it was a high tier sword that could cut metal with little effort. Although it cost around 4500 points, Nicolaus thought it was worth it.

With the remaining points, next, they purchased low tier healing potions, explosive potions, etc.

"Okay! Umi? Let's go."

"Um." Umi nodded her head then walked towards the crystal core at the center. Once, three of them went near to that crystal core, Fennelis touched exit letter in that blue screen.

Swoosh!

Magic circle lit under their feet and soon disappeared from that pocket dimension and soon reappeared outside of that Mysterious Maze.

"Ha! Finally." Fennelis shouted excitedly and then asked Nicolaus.

"So, what are you planning to do now, Nicolaus?"

"I am going back to bare keep town, ma'am. I think my parents would be so worried in these past few months. If you have no plans, feel free to come and stay in our mansion, ma'am." Nicolaus said.

"Nah! I have other plans, lad. I am going to continue my search for my husband's whereabouts. Do you know where is that place called Taiga sloth woods?" Fennelis asked.

"It situated in the completely opposite direction, ma'am. It's near to the Keris kingdom. You have to go north side."

"Oh! Thanks, lad. After I find out about my husband, we will come back here. If you meet that half-elf, say h.e.l.lo to him in my stead." After three of them exchanged few words, Nicolaus dashed towards Bare Keep town while Fennelis and Umi moved towards the northern direction.

…

The Royal capital, Dewsummit city.

It's been a whole week since Sara a.s.sa.s.sinated the King Seawallus. Yesterday was the final day of the funeral ceremony, and still, the entire city was drowning in sadness.

Abium sat in his room and gazed at the sheet of paper that has more information about his territory. He requested adventurer's guild to give some information about all the pirates, bandits, and thieves who were roaming in that Alastall woodlands.

'Well, I already sent a letter to the Captain of Drake Pirates anyways. Now, all that left is going to that territory and crush the other pirates.' He knew going towards Alastall woodlands would make many pirates and thieves become more alert.

'They will try to kill me before I enter that territory. Moreover, in the past, I heard from others that a first-tier necromancer is also hiding in that tower.' He could be able to kill those pirates without much effort, but to kill that necromancer; it would be almost impossible. In that letter, Abium mentioned he would reward 1000 white golds for killing that necromancer to that drake pirates. Moreover he also mentioned he would give them a place to live in his territory.

'Well, that will not be going to happen anyway.' Abium also knew that Captain of Drake pirates Brink wouldn't act alone.

'He will ask his partner, Black skull pirates, to help them when attacking that necromancer.' Abium's lips curved up. That was what Abium wanted. To reduce the number of skeletons within the necromancer's possession and also lessen the pirate numbers like killing two birds in one stone.

Once a large number of skeletons went down, he would have an easy job to finish that necromancer without an issue.

Those pirates would never know the real strength of a first-tier necromancer at all.

Humph!

'i am not going to let any thieves or pirates roam in my territory.'

During those last few days, Abium also requested Butler James to hide away both of those girls from others' eyes, especially Sara. He has to be more careful. Otherwise, all those kingdom citizens would come after him.

'Both simply stayed inside their room during these days made me more relieved.' He breathed out a sigh of relief and shifted his gaze towards the outside. The sunlight was peeking into his room through the small window and fell on his face.

It's already around 9 am, Abium, who sat on the Ladderback wooden chair and wondered what to do.

'Hmm, should I go and visit teacher Zivior?' He remembered his teacher told him to come and meet him once this funeral ceremony got over. He once again exhaled a deep sigh and went out of his room then moved towards the hall. After Abium informed Butler James about his departure, he walked out of the mansion and went towards the carriage.

His destination was the northern tower, where his mentor Zivior was still staying. Streets were looking empty, and you could see the sadness drowned the whole city. After an hour travel in the carriage, he arrived to that tower and now stood in front of the wooden door that inscribed with complicated runes letters.

Click!

Suddenly, those runes shined for a split second and made a clicking sound.

"Come in." Zivior's deep voice came from the other side as the door opened from inside. A middle aged man sat on the chair and shifted his gaze towards Abium.

"What happened?"

"Sir, I would like to take some leave to visit my territory."

"Hm? You want to build your territory, huh! It is not a simple thing to build a territory in that place, kid." Abium agreed.

"So, are you going to build a city in that eastern sh.o.r.eline?"

Abium nodded.

"I can see you want an independent city in your eyes, kid. Well, I will not involve in those political issues, but in the future, those n.o.bles will not stay idle. Also, when civil war breaks out, please protect the crown prince." Abium's pupil dilated when he heard this from his mentor.

"Haha, Do you think we mages are that much ignorant about the kingdom political issues?" Teacher Zivior said with a wide grin.

"Sir, then why haven't you taken action earlier?" Abium confused.

"Kid, we already sensed some wolf is luring among those n.o.bles, but we never expected it is Light church members," Zivior expression turned into grim.

"But now you can take action, right?" His eyes showed puzzled expression.

"Abium, I will tell you honestly. If we fight against the light church, then the whole kingdom would vanish in a single day. As for that council, the pontiff himself is the leader, and no one has the courage even to oppose him." Abium also nodded. Except for the two empires in the north, no one would go against that southern Holy see Pontiff.

"Well, headmaster already agreed with them. If mages didn't interfere, then the only priest would be allowed to even partic.i.p.ate in the civil war from Eliot's side." Zivior smiled.

"What about that holy maiden?" Although Abium was much stronger than before but facing against Holy maiden was a different thing. If things get messy, she could use a divine spell and turn the tide of the war.

"You don't have to worry about the church for now. They are fully concentration on something else so that you can build your territory without any issue." Zivior said.

"Yes, sir." Abium didn't worry much about them. He was waiting for those seals to break sooner. Only then he would act without any fear against the church follower.

"Ah, I forgot to give you any rewards, so what do you want?"

'Rewards, huh!'

Abium does want many things, but what he interested now in mostly was about runes circles and magic array circles.

"Sir, I want to study about rune circles and mysteries behind those runes." Mentor Zivior went silent for a few seconds and quickly took out a book from his spatial ring and placed it on the table. From a simple glance, Abium felt some mysterious vibe coming from that book.

"Sir, this is...?"

"It's a book about rune circles and magic arrays. Ubius personally wrote this book, and he also explained in this book about how to create them in detail. Also, I forgot to mention; there is a small abandoned magic tower in your territory. Wait, I will tell you the location." Zivior took out a map of the Peral kingdom and pointed towards his territory.

'Oh, I didn't expect mages also knew about that tower.'

"Once, a second-tier mage lived there when I joined this inst.i.tute. That mage was a dark arts pract.i.tioner, so he built a small tower over there to do experiments." Zivior pointed his finger near towards the mountain range and continued.

"Well, he died a miserable death during the last Wadel war. After his death, there was no one willing to go there and reclaim it. I think his tower would still be there without any protection. So try to go there and develop your territory from there."

Abium nodded in silence and thought of something.

"Sir, what about the tower core?" He doesn't know if that tower core was already active or the mages created that later in the past. Although he knew that necromancer was occupying that tower now but don't have much information about that tower.

"Haha, no kid. I think it was already on the verge of collapse when that mage died. Maybe you can try and recreate one in the future. You can go back now."

"Thank you, sir."

He quickly put both the map and the book into his spatial ring, he bid his farewell and moved out of the room. After Abium got out of that room, he went towards the top layer where the teleportation magic rune circle was located. His next plan was obviously to go back to the Inst.i.tute.

Spark!

With a light flash, Abium's figure disappeared from there and reappeared in front of a large metal gate.

"Kekeke, I didn't expect you to meet so soon, my friend." Abium coldly looked back and threw one red crystal to that ugly creature.

Although he had to pay two abyssal crystals to this greedy goblin, he has left with no choice. He came here to buy something from the shop.

Once the metal gate opened, Abium walked towards the magic tower and first went straight to the library. For the next three days, he spent most of his time inside that library and skimmed through all the books in areas allowed for first-tier mages. He almost spent all of his remaining 8 Abyssal crystals there.

Mostly he studied everything related to divinity and mysterious stone tablets using his Eidetic memory. Most of the information he got from the library was nothing special. But one of low-level mage's personal diary piqued his interest. Soon he thoroughly read all of his research about the Divinity and went wide-eyed.

That mage mentioned from his theoretical knowledge, there might be still some divinities hidden all over the universe. But what made his eyes widened was the deciphering the divinity might help others to increase their spirit.

'Azolla, is that true?' He became excited.

'You got the right answer, kid. But where can you get those divinities? Even if you found one, do you have the strength to hide it from the G.o.ds?' Azolla's snorted.

Abium also understood why she said that. But that was not a problem for him once all the seals went broken.

Until then, he has to adjust with the one divine shard in his spatial ring. For twenty years, G.o.ds or other higher beings won't be able to enter this plane. Although Abium still doesn't know why those necromancers did that, their action might help Abium to grow stronger.

Suddenly, something clicked inside his mind.

'is this the reason Count Hendricus rose to become power at unimaginable speed?' He felt suspicious.

'If he got a divinity in his hand, then it explains everything! What is that load of c.r.a.p about soul artifact? b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he really did fool everyone, huh!' His eyes went cold as ice and instantly made another plan to s.n.a.t.c.h that from that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Abium didn't find any more information, but this was enough for him. He checked other books to try his luck but still no use.

Everything inside the library was just ordinary stories and legends. Abium also checked anything related to souls but got no information.

'Only second-tier mages are allowed to even study about souls, huh?' He sighed in disappointment. the

'I should go and check the exchange counter.'
