Aether Beasts

Long ago a great calamity struck the earth, destroying much of it and merging what remained with pieces of other worlds. With these worlds came Aether, a new form of energy that can allow one to transcend the bounds of normal mortality and human limitations. In a world where humans absorb the essence of aether beasts to gain power, Aiden Hawke joins the class of humans known as arcanists, people who defeat aether beasts and absorb their essence into cores they forge within themselves, and who infuse themselves with the aether that permeates the world around them to increase the power of their body and mind. However, unlike most, Aiden will find that he holds a unique gift and that his journey as an arcanist will not be so simple.

Chapter 263

We stopped at a parking area just before the temple-like structure and disembarked. I decided I needed to act my part. I got out before her, and let my aura wash out from me. The armored men who'd drawn closer froze and I looked their way. A robed man was among them alongside a richly dressed woman who was holding some sort of crystal rod.

I offered a hand to Tilly and rolled my eyes when she smiled down at me with a look of triumph. I really hoped this had been the right decision. Once she was out, I let my malice drop, and the soldiers of guards it seemed more like, began to walk forward again.

I raised a hand to stop them once they were a few feet away.

The woman and robed man stepped out in front. The man was older, and his robes were layered with intricate symbols and embroidery. There was also an odd feeling about him. Like pressure, except it was so weak that I had to focus to truly notice it. Some sort of aura?
