Level Up Legacy

Chapter 1374 A Message

The city of Kera was half-destroyed. No one knew what was happening before the battle ended. The citizens returned to their senses to witness a destruction they could not understand. The only thing left inside the battlefield was the giant runic dome. "Does that belong to Ascent?" asked a member of the crowd as they gathered. "What are they doing inside the city? They should be allied to the new crown, right?" After Sier and Nira ruled the kingdom together, Ascent was declared allies of the crown. Their residence close to Kera was known to all. Therefore, no one thought it was odd when they appeared inside the city.

No one understood what was happening until Ascent posted a public announcement to explain the situation. Two calamities had attacked the city, but Arthur and his guild stopped them. No one doubted their words since over a hundred thousand people were hypnotized.

A few lost their lives to the vampires still in the city, but they were quickly saved by the guild as well. Everything came to an end in just under a few days. No one knew about the nightmare that Ascent had gone through, but they recognized them as saviors once again.

Arthur was already worshiped inside the city as a hero. This incident only rallied the city further, and a festival soon began outside the runic dome. No one knew who started it, but the celebration was in full swing in just a few hours.

As the people were celebrating, a few jets flew above Kera. Many believed that it was another attack, but the jets landed on the battlefield grounds from earlier. A group came out of the jets, tattered and wounded.

Oren and the rest were carried by the sand thieves into the Runic Dome. They were confused to see so many people surrounding the dome, but no one obstructed their path. As soon as they arrived, the dome opened as the goblins rushed out carrying entire beds.

The wounded were placed atop the beds and carried inside. Oren was surprised to see the goblins this organized, but their leader looked more demonic than a goblin.

"The name is Mero, Lord Oren," said the demon-like creature as he came forward. "We will take care of you and your friends."

"Thanks," Oren said with a smile. "Where is Arthur?"

"Our lord has returned from the battlefield and chose to sit in seclusion. It seems that the battle has taken its toll on his body and mind."

"Mind?" Oren asked in confusion as the rest were carried inside. "What do you mean?" "I'm not familiar myself, but I saw him emerge from a stone statue. He looked to have --- ----༑ པ་

aged quite a bit while inside."

"Forget about the bed," Oren jumped down and began dragging his body into the runic dome. "Take me to my brother."

Mero understood the sentiment and led him inside. The rest were taken to a different section of the runic dome that was filled with healing arrays. As for Oren, he was led into the inner chambers where Arthur always resided.

The half-goblin and half-alive pair reached the inner training chambers where the rest were gathered. Everyone stood around in a circle that Oren and Mero tried to join. In the middle of the training ground was Arthur.

Oren had never seen Arthur looking like this. His frame was taller, and his hair reached the ground. He wore nothing but black robes with his arms tucked into his sleeves. While he stood in the middle, the rest attacked.

Ilia Perli used his lightning, sending it in an arc toward him. Seraphine used her blood arts to attack, while Rae used her white scarf. Yuran shot countless mana bullets at him from the side.

Oren was confused about what was happening but was more confused at the next sight. Every attack heading toward Arthur disappeared. The remnants of their attacks remained in a perfect sphere around him, disappearing once entering it.

"A ten-step radius," muttered Ilia in surprise. "Is it a domain?"

"An authority," Arthur answered with a smile. "No mana can exist close to me unless I command it."

Everyone stood amazed at their guild master's omnipotence, and Oren was confused as well because his brother seemed to have grown. He gave off an air of maturity and wisdom. Arthur turned his head toward Oren and gave him a smile with a nod. Arthur made his way away from the crowd and approached his brother. Before Oren could say anything, Arthur waved his hand and wrote a rune that healed Oren's wounds almost instantly. Then, his brother pulled Oren into an embrace.

"I'm glad you are safe," his brother said, and Oren felt a lump in his throat. "What happened to Kar?"

"Rain was the one to defeat him," Oren said as the two broke off their embrace. "However, she refused to come with us. She took Valeria and visited East Sourna for some reason."

"I guess she needs some time," Arthur said with a smile. Oren looked at his brother again and felt his aura had shifted. "What are you examining me for, Oren?"

"You changed again," Oren said in confusion. "What happened?"

"A lot, so much that I had to seal my memories to avoid losing them," Arthur said while tapping his head. "Let's visit the rest."

Arthur led the way as they found Sapphire, Nyx, and Spade in the healing wards. Tiara was healing their wounds when the two of them walked into the room. As soon as she saw Arthur, her eyes widened.

"Outsider... you are..." Tiara muttered in confusion.

"Thank you for visiting on such short notice," Arthur said with a smile. "How are they?" he asked while looking at them sleeping on the ground.

"It could have been worse. I managed to heal their wounds, but the shock they sustained might show some irreversible damage," Tiara said as she turned toward Arthur. "I have a message for you."

"A message from whom?" Arthur tilted his head with a smile. Oren could see Tiara shifting uncomfortably before sighing.

"A message from Lyari, the Healer Guardian."
