Chapter 13: Trials part1

Inside the Mythos dungeon.

Clang! Clang! Clang!....

The sound of metal clacking on the ground could be heard it was the menacing black knights movements.

"It's here, the ghost knights," Norn said seriously to Minerva.

Ghost knights are the evil apparations of the knights dead souls of the Valhallan's war. This ghost knights armor are made of pure black steel making their physical defense quite high. This knights are around level thirty or up to level forty.

Ghost knights(lvl. 30 up to 40)

Race: Evil knights

Element: Dark

Danger level: mid low

Skills: Obsidian slash

Should I try it? Norn is thinking of practicing his new flame element.

Gathering his mana around his palm, instead of the chilling cold mana he usually use a terrifying hot mana starts to accumulate around his right hand and a spell starts to materialized.

I directed my new spell into the ghost knights and a devastating scene happen as they are all blasted by the spell.

Boooooooommmmmmmn!!!!!!

----------------------------------------------------------

Minerva's pov

I watch as Norn fought those lifeless knights wearing black armor as he conjured an azure colored flame spell his right hands.

Flame spell: CRIMSON BLAZE

(Spell description:Azure flame fiery explosion )

Boooooommmmmmmm!!!!!!

Dust and smoke scattered the area and only some of the burned parts of the knights armor remains as the aftermath of the powerful spell of Norn.

He is strong!

He is the same age as me but he was so skilled and powerful.

He even manage to fight alone for a few minutes against a B rank assassin and trick him with an illusion spell for us to escape his chase.

Can I trust him?

Would he help me?

----------------------------------------------------------

Norn's pov

Wow! That flame spell is fire...Hahaha!!!(Norn inner thoughts)

Norn lvl 20 increases to lvl 23(nice,I level up)

As I finished admiring the aftermath of my new flame spell, I notice Minerva's anxiety on her face so when we reach a safe area I decided for us to take a break for an hour and eat some food.

Hey,What's making you anxious?

I know that you only got to know me a few hours ago and probably can't trust me but I had save you a few hours ago even risking my life on the process so give me the benefit of the doubt and tell me,what's troubling you?

She told Norn on what transpired in her journey to reach Dregunns city to meet the cardinal and some nobleman of the city and fabricated a story on how she notice that it would be a trap for her by the Wraiths.

So the cardinal and some nobleman of that city are part of the Wraiths I should definitely pay them a visit and unroot them from this world.( Norn inner thoughts)

I decided to help the future saintess by protecting her and making her stronger through the help of this dungeon. I should also recruit her as an ally to save this world.

Do you want to be strong to protect yourself from them?

Yes, I want strength. (Minerva answered Norn)

But,How?

Didn't I tell you that the Mythos dungeon is also called the dungeon of miracles. At the end of this dungeon lays the room of judgement if we manage to pass all the trials God's would bless us with a miracle "it would give you strength that you needed".

Would I be able to pass the trials?

You should be at ease because you had a very strong and extremely handsome helper to help you. Hahaha!!!

The first trial is the trial of strength.Trial takers are able to cooperate in this trial so I would be able to help you demonstrate your support skills to the Gods. I would fight head on the creatures in the trial and you simply boost me with your support spells.

The second trial is the trial of wisdom. In this trial we simply need to answer the riddles of the old treant Betal.

( Based on Betal a ghost/celestial spirit who hangs on a tree and countinously ask Vikram riddles in Indian mythology)

The last is the trial of soul. In this trial I won't be able to help you much but I would give you something that might assist you to pass it. This trial would test on how strong the trial takers will.

Here drink this.This is an SSS rank divine class item the golden fleece elixir. The person who drinks this elixir would be given immunity from diseases,plagues,curses or negative statuses.

Minerva is looking at the golden liquid on the glass flask sceptically.

Why would you give me this SSS rank elixir? (Minerva asked Norn)

Why don't you use it for your own self?

Well, I'm the strongest so I don't need it.(Norn jokingly said to Minerva)

"I know the future and it could save me the trouble of having the future saintess as an ally than an enemy and the more strength she had the more chance we had in saving this world."(Norn inner thoughts)
