106. Other’s side

NOTICE: PERSPECTIVE SWITCH TO KAEL

A FEW MOMENTS AGO

Before Nytri and the Azurians went to the divine realm, Kael is outside the dungeon in the Mirthendom Kingdom. This is the kingdom Nytri was born in and the same kingdom with the Abyssal Sanctum. Kael is at the adventurers' guild with 2 other Azurians Eryndor and Lilia, they're registering to be adventurers.

Kael in at the counter before a receptionist, "Is it necessary for us to take a test to become adventurers?" Eryndor and Lilia are looking around the building and their sizes are attracting attention.

The receptionist(male) speaks, "Yeah, even if you look strong it's so we reduce the death count. You may be big but I bet it's all just for show, a Gold rank adventurer will test to see if you're strong enough to be an adventurer."

Kael rubs his chin, "I didn't know tests were needed just to gather herbs. Does that mean you also test the children?"

"The children only go on gathering guests," The receptionist speaks, "Even then, they must have at least a knife on just in case." Kael nods and the receptionist points to a door to the side of the room, "Go through there, that's where you'll take the test."

Kael nods and Eryndor and Lilia follow him through the door. They come to an open space behind the building like a little park. A gold rank adventurer is waiting for them along with the guild master, the same one who nearly got done in by Nytri's automaton. He seems to have recovered but his right arm looks limb but he's still Adamantine rank.

Kael recognizes him from Nytri's memories, he speaks with telepathy to the others. "Guys, that's one of the people Nytri fought in the dungeon."

Eryndor replies, "Should we attack?"

Kael smiles at the examiner and replies, "Don't, there's no need for us to cause trouble." He walks up to the 2 waiting.

The guild master speaks, "Well well well, it's nice seeing fine young ones like you. Welcome, this man here will be your examiner. He'll fight you all one by one and grade you. I hope you're okay with that." He smiles brightly…..he might actually be a good guy.

Kael nods and the examiner grins with his weapon ready. "However," Kael speaks, "I think he should fight the weakest of us first, then you'll decide if you still want to fight us."

"No problem here." Examiner speaks.

Kael turns to Lilia and she walks forward, Kael holds her shoulder and speaks for everyone to hear. "Make sure to hold back, don't kill him by mistake." Lilia nods and walks to the examiner.

"You must think yourselves strong, eh?" Examiner speaks, "If you'll hold back then I'll force you to go all out." He grins, though he feels bad having to hurt a lady.

Lilia stands still watching the examiner and he speaks, "If you're not going to come at me then I'll just attack!" the examiner chargers at Lilia, he jumps and swings his sword down. Lilia simply turns to the side and grabs the examiner by the collar, she throws him lightly backwards and he falls down rolling a few times.

The examiner is shocked, he gets up to attack again but the guild master interferes. "That's enough, I can already tell how strong you are from the little display. You're dungeon dwellers, right?" Kael nods and the guild master sighs speaking, "That's understandable."

The examiner doesn't understand and the guild master speaks, "Dungeon dwellers live amongst monsters so it's only natural for them to be this strong, your strength might as well surpass mine." The examiner opens his eyes wide and guild master speaks, "Though if I was in my prime, I'm certain you won't beat he so easy. Hahahahahha!" he laughs, Eryndor smiles.

"You can become an adventurer," Guild master speaks, "Go to the receptionist and she'll give you your guild tags. You'll start from bronze and work your way up. I have a feeling it won't take long at all." Kael and the others bow their heads and turn to leave.

"I have a question," Guild master speaks, "Dungeon dwellers are nomadic people who chose to isolate themselves from society to live in the dungeon. Why have you decided to join us now?"

Kael turns his head, "Because having to fight everyday is tiring." He enters the building with the others. They go to the receptionist and shock him with how fast their tests were, they get the tags and walk to the quest board.

*DING DING DING*

[MESSAGE FROM NYTRI

Nytri: Zareth and the others escaped, Zareth's folks intend on searching for us. I'm heading to the Divine realm to search for them, I want help with that. This is the coordinates {$%#@, #&$%@, %%$@}

END]

Eryndor tilts his head, "Zareth escaped? Well, we'll find him in no time." Kael nods and the 3 leave the guild building, this surprises a lot but they just walk on. The exit the city towards the Abyssal Sanctum. When they reach a place with no people Kael stretches his hand forward, he gathers EP before him which twirls around quickly. It speeds up until a little hole is made before him, he pushes more and the hole grows bigger.

"This is it." Kael speaks and walks into the hole and the others follow him inside. They look around for the destination from the coordinates, they look up in North-East direction as if the compass is vertical. They manipulate EP in their and slowly float, the focus and start to fly to their destination.

When they're close to the destination, like 1 meter from the coordinates. They make another hole and exit, they come out inside the earth. The hole causes the land to unearth revealing the hole, the 3 jump out of it.

Lilia looks around, "Even though we were right on the coordinates, we were still taken far from it."

Eryndor scratches his head, "What a pain-" *BOOOOOM* They hear an explosion in the distance and Eryndor speaks, "Looks like Nytri is already in trouble." He sees Kael touching the dirt, "What are you doing?"

Kael feels the dirt in his hand, "Nature reading."

"Nature reading?" Eryndor speaks, "What's that?" Kael and Lilia turn to him.

Lilia speaks, "You've been slacking off again, haven't you?"

"No, no no, n~o" Eryndor speaks.

Kael sighs, "I don't blame you. You were a slug before we evolved." Eryndor speaks in the background, "Somehow I find that offensive." Kael explains, "Nature Reading is a subskill of Information Magic. It allows you to see the history of your surroundings, from how far back you want to know to just a few seconds ago."

"That's kinda lit," Eryndor speaks, "But I've never seen Nytri use it before."

Lilia sighs, "That's because she doesn't have it. Even if we all have the same skills, the subskills can differ. She uses Appraisal which has the Log feature which only works specific targets, but can make Predictions."

"Oh ri~ght," Eryndor speaks, "I can track people I've appraised and find out what happens to them no matter how far they are."

"See," Lilia speaks, "Subskills can differ." She looks at Kael, "On that note, think we should gather intel and valuable artefacts?"

Kael stands up, "Yeah, Nytri is already causing a big commotion. The gods will all focus on her so we can gather whatever we can."

"And if anyone gets in our way?" Lilia speaks.

"Then we trample them," Eryndor speaks, "They're just bugs anyway."

"Alright," Kael nods, "Let's head south, their treasury is there. I've sent a general map of the place to the Nexusphere so someone should rescue that goblin that's been spying on us."

Lilia laughs, "It's cute how she thinks we're weak and keeps sneaking treasures to us."

"Yes," Kael speaks, "But she did prove to us that gods can't detect even if we stand behind them."

Eryndor grins with his incisors showing like fangs, "It's a real shame, I was hoping they'd cower from our power. But they can't sense it, we'll just have to show them how weak they are." His eyes glow with a sadistic grin.

Kael and Lilia look at him with a brow raised, Kael speaks. "Maybe we need more sensitivity training. I'll ask King about that later." The 3 of them vanish as a huge gust of wind blows in the place, they stood just a few seconds ago. The trees are blown away with dust in the air. They just moved at full speed.
