"Can you read it?" Felix asked. 'I wish I could.' Sylvester sighed and denied it. "Nobody knows how to read this language, Felix. The fact that we even found its proof is shocking enough. But… Why is this here? Did the people who used this language live underground?" "Just imagine somehow learning this language. I heard Elder tongue had a superior magic effect. You could become the Pope in an instant." Felix started to procrastinate right there. Sylvester scoffed. "You're in the race to become the…

The low humming noise of the air passing through various vents to the underground cellar of the monastery was menacing to some levels. Sylvester looked around himself and noticed the room didn't have much to call home. There was merely a bed in a corner, a table and chair, and some books on it. The most reassuring thing, however, was the church symbol hanging on the wall near the door. This did show that at least Archpriest Aiden was a believer in Solis. But why was the other archpriest so hateful towards…

Sylvester and his team arrived at the designated location. The first thing he asked was, "Does he and the son of Chief know each other?" The answer was, as he expected, a yes. And then, the search for the cursed object that allowed the man to be possessed started. They looked all around the house and soon found a little pebble. Yes, a simple pebble was enough to get one open to possession. But, the thing was, such things were extremely rare, and so many being found in one place was surely not a…

The necromancer woke up soon after as he healed up with the help of the solarium crystals. He looked scared, first of all, and that required some time to fix. They had to bring him some real food and calming potions to ease him. When he finally looked healthy enough to talk, Sylvester returned to speak to him, this time ensuring that nobody listened in on him by placing Sir Dolorem, Felix, and Gabriel as guards outside. Sylvester also shared his church identification papers, first revealing he was a…

"Great! This is amazing! I can't believe how lucky I'm feeling right now!" Felix suddenly exclaimed loudly as soon as the news of the skeletons was heard. There was dead silence in the room. Sylvester walked over to his friend and patted his shoulder. "You okay, Felix?" Felix smiled like he was reborn. "I am absolutely fine. Madness, Demons, Bloodling, and now we have skeletons attacking us. What can be better than this?" Sylvester chuckled. "First time? Get used to it. I've learned my lessons, and…

Sylvester had never seen a demon-possessed in his life before and didn't know what it looked like in person. Today, he got the answer to that question, and he didn't like it. There was a big difference between seeing a creature of the night or a bloodling and a demon-possessed because the possessed one you see is still a human, somewhere trapped inside. He saw the Chief's son's face morphed into a strange demonic shape as if there were tumors, rotten, cracked skin all over, dark black pitch black eyes,…

The news of there being a bloodling nearby unsettled Sylvester as memories of the old days reappeared. Although he was much stronger now, he still didn't know if he could beat one of the Bloodlings because, as far as he knew, in that cave years ago, even Arch Wizard died, and he was just a Master Wizard. But he had the help of overpowered light magic, which was like the worst poison for Bloodlings. In the end, Sylvester kept aside his woes as the task at hand was more important. Some of the still sane…

To ensure that he was right on point, he tried to do a test with the woman. First, he made her stand in front of him, face to face and asked her a few questions. "Don't say anything other than the answer." "Name?" "Ginna, priest." "No need to address me, only answer the question. Tell me the name of your children." She replied, her brows furrowed for a split second there. "Ben, Renis, and Grant." Sylvester continued. "Where do you live?" "In Sphinx Town." "What is the name of the faith we all…

Gabriel and Felix were disgusted by the sight as they stepped aside. But Sir Dolorem stood in front of Sylvester as a shield. "Sir Dolorem, step aside. Let me try light magic on him." He ordered quickly and raised his right palm towards the oncoming man. "Hehehe..." As soon as the naked man reached a few meters from him, Sylvester sent a beam of light from his palm and drowned the man in it. He kept chanting and let the man screech in anger and fall to his knees, rubbing his eyes. "Aaargh!..." 'This…

'This—Why is he lying about his own name?' Sylvester came up with two possible reasons: One, the man had changed his name, or two, he was not the man he said he was. But then something happened that left Sylvester in even more confusion. "And this is the second Archpriest of this town—since our monastery is big." Then, Archpriest Oliver Weston introduced another man. This one seemed young and middle-aged, as he still had black hair. But, the man had some serious dark circles under his…
