Chapter 948 Back in the Polaris Realm
Chapter 948 Back in the Polaris Realm
While Vicente went ahead with his initiation into Stonewall, Lauren was showing the first signs of waking up after an entire month of cultivating in the same place he had left her.
Within the roofless tower, Lauren's eyes were restlessly darting around, her pentagrams on the verge of materializing outside her body.
The vibrant glow of her green Magic Gem illuminated the space, causing the mana surrounding her to quiver in response to her presence.
Abruptly, a streak of purple lightning materialized in the sky, capturing the attention of the elf, eagerly awaiting Lauren to end her cultivation.
Ever since Vicente had left and the two elves had gone off to sort out the situation with the new journey of the continent's forces after Vice's departure, this golden-haired woman had stayed behind to wait for Lauren.
Sensing that her wait was over, Syvis stood up, going as close as she could get until she was stopped by the special effects of the tower created by Vicente.
The 6th stage armors also moved, lining up at the exit of this tower, ready to welcome Lauren and carry out the mission passed on by their creator.
Then, about 10 days earlier than Syvis and her companions had first assumed it would take Lauren to finish absorbing Demien Bloodthorne's blood, she opened her eyes.
Simultaneously, the Book of Death showed itself, while her five pentagrams appeared, already transformed after her qualitative improvement. As she became an Archmage, two of Lauren's pentagrams evolved, with her first and third pentagrams reaching the green grade.
Standing up, feeling her cultivation at a new level, Lauren felt a desire for more power, a thirst that would accompany any newly promoted magician.
With an extra space available for her to complete, she could now hunt down her sixth pentagram and reach the true peak of her powers!
However, after stabilizing her powers at the level of a Beginner Archmage, the power rank she knew was valid for Polaris Realm, she couldn't help but think of her brother.
"Vicente." She said as she came across the tower enveloping her, quickly spotting several inscriptions of Vice there, ancient artifacts of his, and even a bronze bust.
'He's gone.' She tried to calm herself as she felt a pang in her heart, gradually letting her powers return to her body, watching her surroundings with longing.
For her, it had all happened in the blink of an eye. In a moment, he had given her Demien's blood and then she had closed her eyes, opened them and found herself in this current situation, in the 6th stage and surrounded by this metal structure.
'I have to get back to the family. Weeks may have passed and the vampires may be acting up again.'
With that thought, she headed for the exit of the tower. But as soon as she set foot outside this area, she came across several 6th stage armors kneeling down and welcoming her.
"Welcome again, Miss. Congratulations on your success in reaching the 6th stage," said the intelligent armors left by Vicente to help her and talk about everything that had happened.
Lauren was very intelligent. She immediately understood what they were there for and even though she saw the elf with the golden hair and 6th stage cultivation, she stopped where she was and waited.
The main robotic armor said to her as it approached her, "Our creator has successfully left for the Supreme Continent.
Before he left, he created us and asked us to advise you and talk to you about everything that happened that day.
After you started cultivating, a trio of elves approached him and made a deal with our creator.
When he left, two of the elves went ahead with their plans, leaving this woman to talk to you."
"Do you have any news of what has happened on the continent since he left? How long exactly have I been in seclusion?" She asked as she looked at the pointy-eared woman watching her with a smile on her face.
"It has been a month, Miss, since our master's departure. However, we remain unaware of any developments on the continent during this time. Nevertheless, this elf may possess the answers to your inquiries."
Lauren nodded and made her way to Syvis' side, while the robotic armors followed close behind.
"Lauren Fuller, congratulations on reaching the 6th stage," Syvis said sincerely, aware that this human woman was Vicente's chosen one to lead humanity against the monsters in his absence.
"My name is Syvis. I am an ally of your brother and an elder of the Elves Tribe. Before he left, Vicente made an agreement with us to help us complete our objectives for the Supreme Continent while we helped the Fuller family deal with the calamity in Polaris Realm.
By now, the rest of your family should know about our agreement and be preparing to fight side by side with the coalition of tribes from Majestic Treefrog Grove. My fellow tribesmen took care of that while you were in seclusion."
Lauren didn't doubt it, having already heard from Vicente about his encounter with the elves of Majestic Treefrog Grove, but also what the Supreme Continent must be like and his mission in going to that place.
"What is the current situation on the continent, Syvis? Do you know anything about my family's situation during my seclusion?" She asked what concerned her the most, leaving to consider the partnership with the elves and beasts of Majestic Treefrog Grove for the future.
Syvis nodded positively. "I know a few things. Your family is fine. They escaped from the main Metal City before Vicente advanced to the Supreme Continent. Right now, they're hiding in a metal city built by Vicente. But you'll have to go to one of the Cataclysm Order outposts and contact your family's people to get this information.
All I know is that your family is well and commanding Vicente's forces and the order in hiding. Anyway, the continent isn't at its worst, if you ask me. Vicente eliminated the strongest of the vampire coalition before he left. There were five vampire Archmages left, but none of them were as strong as Demien and one of them has already died at the hands of my companions from Majestic Treefrog Grove.
The other four, however, escaped after hunting down some human Archmages. I'm afraid they're in hiding now, in seclusion, to process the blood they've absorbed and ascend to the level of Intermediate Archmages." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Lauren's eyebrows drew together, as she couldn't help but turn pale. "That's terrible."
"Yes. The upside is that, for the next 10 years or so, we'll be free of 6th stage vampires. You and the others will have that time to get stronger and prepare for the final showdown against the vampires.
In just over 10 years, we will either defeat the strongest of the vampires or we will die and all will be lost," Syvis said in a decisive tone, with no doubt that everything would be decided then.
She doesn't expect Vicente to generate results for them in the meantime. In fact, everyone left behind is fully satisfied with what Vice has done for the continent. By killing the strongest vampires and leaving only four tough enemies behind, he has set the continent on an interesting path.
Vicente had solved the worst of the crisis, given weapons to the continent's forces and helped many to grow stronger. He had done more than anyone could ask for, so it was the duty of the forces left behind to overcome the ultimate challenges with their own hands!
Lauren clenched her fists as she thought about it, for a moment looking up at the sky and imagining that she should do her best to ensure that they went to Vicente and not that he had to come to them.
A smile appeared on her face as she swore an oath in her brother's name.
'You gave me the blood of Demien Bloodthorne. When the time comes, I'll give the blood of those damn 6th stage vampires to Annie, Nina, Nova, Lina and Layla!
Vicente, one day we will make our way to the Supreme Continent. Don't think you'll be alone in this place!'
Syvis saw the smile on Lauren's face and remained silent, but she couldn't help feeling a shiver run down her spine. She felt that perhaps the vampires were in more trouble than they were.
After a moment's silence, however, she asked, "What are you planning to do now? I know you must be eager to return to your family's side. But you've just advanced a stage. It might be interesting for you to hunt down your sixth pentagram first. This will give you more power and methods of protecting yourself and your family."
"You're right. Before I go back, I must first get a cyan pentagram for the space of my sixth essence."
With that decided, the two, followed by the 6th stage armors, set off from the area of that metal tower.
