There was a sudden flash of bright light, and then it vanished, and the lich was gone. Time seemed to have frozen at the exact moment the hill exploded, leaving many perplexed as they knew they had killed the enemy just hours before, but they couldn't identify what had gone wrong.
Ramiel was in the same position.
But Amahle Zadzisai was sitting across him while the four were a few feet from where they were gathered together. Communication from the other side was coming in like a storm and they asked what was going on and who or what happened, Beta Spell could only affect those who were in the location but those who saw the event before the signal was jammed saw a man with a black and white long hair with golden eyes radiating a powerful aura, every Etherea Guild, facility, government agency, and military branch were also confused as hundreds of students and guild members told them nothing happened, contradictions from the confidential video they saw was creating a wild storm of interest and speculation.
People with authority began questioning the reliability of the video evidence and wondering if there was a cover-up or manipulation of information.
The authorities scrambled to investigate the incident further, desperately trying to uncover the truth behind the conflicting accounts and strange occurrences. But even after seven long days since the incident happened, they were no closer to finding a definitive answer. The confusion and uncertainty surrounding the incident only grew, fueling rumor's and conspiracy theories among the public. The pressure on the authorities to provide answers intensified as they faced mounting criticism for their perceived lack of transparency and inability to resolve the situation.
All the injured Ethereal Academy students have fully recovered; those who died received a proper burial, and their families were provided with support and condolences. Despite the efforts of investigators, the case remained shrouded in mystery, leaving the community on edge and yearning for closure.
The incident served as a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of thorough investigations to prevent such tragedies from happening again.
Everything was going smoothly as each person who was part of that calamity, those remaining students from all 4 levels, accepted this fact as their fate and tried their best to learn from it. That is why they were trained and given sufficient knowledge to fight the enemy and prevent similar incidents in the future. The community rallied together, offering support to those affected and ensuring that the tragedy would not be forgotten.
It was a somber reminder of the resilience and unity that can arise from even the darkest of times. The Ethereal Academy made sure that the 212 Ethereal students who died, who mostly came from the first and second years, were honored and remembered for their bravery and sacrifice. Memorials were erected in their honor, and their names were engraved on plaques that would forever serve as a reminder of their contributions.
Additionally, the school implemented new safety measures and protocols to ensure the well-being of its students and prevent any future incidents. The incident served as a catalyst for change, strengthening the bond between the academy and its community and fostering a sense of determination to create a safer environment for everyone involved.
The ones who made it through were awarded extra points and gained access to higher positions. All of them graduated in their fourth year without a single noteworthy fatality. The Academy's Ethereal Combat suits were developed using advanced technology and magic, and each kill they made allowed them to collect residual energy frequency.
Although the appearances of many different mythological races may be similar, medical and scientific research has shown that these creatures, which came to Earth and were hunted to extinction, all had distinct energy frequencies. For example, human DNA differs from that of other species, with even identical twins typically sharing only 50% of their genes.
So after twelve long, grueling days, the Ethereal Academy was able to gather all the data on their student's combat uniforms; some claimed three goblin kills, some gained an ill by group effort, but the most surprising data was on Ramiel suit. Ms Dolores Tesfaye had to make a decision if releasing the information was worth the potential consequences.
Ramiel's suit exhibited an energy frequency that had never been recorded before, indicating a unique and powerful ability. Ms. Dolores Tesfaye knew that releasing this information could attract unwanted attention and possibly put Ramiel in danger. However, she also recognized the importance of sharing such groundbreaking data with the rest of the Ethereal Academy to further their understanding of Hunters' abilities.
Ramiel's kills were calculated to be around 200 different monsters from levels 15 up to 30, demonstrating his exceptional skill and expertise as a hunter. This information, if released, could not only validate Ramiel's capabilities but also serve as a valuable resource for other hunters in their quests. However, Ms. Dolores Tesfaye couldn't ignore the potential backlash from those who might see Ramiel as a threat or seek to exploit his abilities for their own gain.
Ramiel wasn't worried about it that much; his primary concern was the evolution of Arcanian Homunculus officers socially interacting and eating at the Liu Chen residence. Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao were very accommodating; even Amelia and Ariella Laila were treated like royalty for nearly seven days now.
Echo was delighted to gain a new friend as Ariella Laila saw her be the same age as her; Guan Yu was amazed at how skilled Sigma and Sierra were with the sword; and Hilas and Irles Filri were happily helping Granda Mao and their second mother-in-law Amelia with cooking and preparing the food they were able to taste after entering this realm.
Ramiel was still flabbergasted, knowing he only had one body and that he could freely open the transfer gate toward Arcane and Earth and allow anybody who was marked with his insignia and was bound to him. On the second day, Hilas and Irles Filri entered the realm of Earth, and they were welcomed by the Ramiels Earth family.
Ramiel explained everything. As he freely entered Aracane and Earth as if it were second nature to him,
Ramiel has effortlessly guided Hilas and Irles through the realms of Arcane and Earth for nearly a few days now, going back and forth, exploring the different aspects of the human realm in an unconventional but secretive manner.
As they continued their journey, they couldn't help but wonder what other secrets and wonders awaited them in this extraordinary adventure. showcasing his deep understanding and familiarity with both worlds. His ability to seamlessly navigate between the two realms left his companions in awe as they marveled at the sights and experiences that unfolded before them.
Ramiel's expertise and knowledge proved invaluable as he shared stories of his past adventures and provided insights into the unique dynamics of each realm. With Ramiel as their guide, Hilas and Irles felt a newfound sense of excitement and curiosity, eager to explore all that these extraordinary realms had to offer.
The two openly accepted this and expressed their willingness to support Ramiel. They were eager to learn from him and assist him in any way they could. With their strong bond and care, Ramiel knew that together they would be a formidable force in protecting both realms.
As they delved deeper into the realms, Ramiel was impressed by Hilas and Irles' quick adaptability and natural talent for understanding the intricacies of each realm. Their enthusiasm and dedication only grew stronger as they encountered new challenges, discovered hidden treasures, learned human culture and history, and interacted discreetly with various beings from Earth.
Like in Arcane, they would eat and enjoy each other's company, adding to the fine understanding that Ramiel has enjoyed seeing his earth family join hands with his second family in Arcane.,
Ramiel was grateful to have such devoted companions by his side, as their diverse perspectives and knowledge enriched their journey and allowed them to navigate through unfamiliar territories with ease. With Hilas and Irles' unwavering support, Ramiel felt confident that they would not only protect both realms but also uncover ancient secrets that could potentially bridge the gap between humans and mystical beings.
Ramiel couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in their growth, knowing that with their combined strengths, they were destined to leave a lasting impact on the realms they had come to love.
They understood the importance of his role as a gatekeeper and were eager to assist him in any way they could. With their help, Ramiel felt more confident and determined to fulfil his duties, knowing that he had a strong support system by his side.
They were all preparing because Empress Allatou Estrith Demiurgos would soon come with her lowered power level. Ramiel requested Lady Laerdya Galadhiel create a device that could suppress the empress's powers before Hilas and Ilres came to earth. Ramiel told his second mother that his powers were too strong; many ordinary people would sure faint and might even lose their lives upon seeing and encountering her raw, untamed power, so she waited patiently until she could freely enter the realm where her son's physical human body was born.
It took Lady Laerdya Galadhiel a week for her to finish the device to ensure the Empress's power wouldn't leak out and create massive panic all over the place. Ramiel knew her second mother was not the type to control her power; even in a normal state, she was still unconsciously attaining a power level of 800.
Given Galadhiel's creation of a device to suppress the empress's powers, Ramiel was relieved that her second mother's immense power would finally be contained. However, she couldn't help but wonder if Grandma Mao, being a born warrior herself, would challenge her to a spar in order to test her strength against the empress. It seemed that only Grandma Mao could truly match her power on an equal level.
Ramiel also considered the possibility that Grandma Mao's inevitable challenge could serve as an opportunity to gain her respect and loyalty, strengthening their bond as a family. Additionally, Ramiel knew that concealing her true presence would be crucial in order to maintain the delicate balance between the Earth and the other realm, ensuring that their actions were seen as necessary for the greater good rather than a threat.
Ramiel really hoped that the device created by Lady Laerdya Galadhiel would be able to neutralize the empress's abilities and prevent any potential destruction of their surroundings. And hide her true presence, as thousands of Ethereal Guild members on Earth will surely see her as a huge threat to humanity.
As the day of Empress Allatou Estrith's arrival approached, Ramiel couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and anxiety, unsure of what the outcome would be once her powers were suppressed. and enter the human realm, and finally meet his biological mother, who had been caring and waiting for him to get better for years as he was in a coma.
