Lightning, Earth, Water and Draconic

Lurian was from the continent of Quaspaith, who wielded the most unique Legendary weapon, the Hellwalker Twin Artifacts.

Guns have not existed during the ancient times, which make the Hellwalker totally power-defying.

Its firepower is stronger than most ranged weapons like magical staffs, bows and crossbows.

Not only is its firepower stronger, but it does not require physical ammunitions or bullets, only mana is needed from the wielder's fingers.

If a person without adept mana control on their fingers and they pull the triggers, the Hellwalker will not shoot.

Lurian's origin was plain and simple just like the other Heroes, but his weapon is a total contrast to him.

Civil wars between human Adventurers have broken out because of these Twin Artifacts' ability to break the balance between the Adventurer teams.

The wars intensified since no one has ever successfully fired a bullet out of the artifacts, until Lurian got hold of the weapons.

Lurian never went special training as an Adventurer; he was just a regular healer who never got any attention even from his teammates.

The lack of attention and recognition for him is because of the famous healer Hero, Rellen, wielder of the Kindleflame.

Lurian liked wearing a mask and a cloak to conceal his identity, not letting his old teammates find out that he is now the wielder of the extremely famous Hellwalker.

Hellwalker, besides its bow counterpart Lunara, is one of the best weapons to use against the dark entities attacking the various cities of Terrans.

With its exclusive ability to suppress dark creatures, these dark entities are just target practice for Lurian.

Dush! Dush!

Lurian shoots with each Hellwalker, destroying two trees to block the passageway.

Lurian moves alone, using treetops to gain high ground advantage against the swarm of monsters, thus, making him harder to be discovered.

The monsters became confused due to the sudden fall of the trees in front of them.

Boom boom boom boom!

Now, Lurian fired bigger lights of mana bullets on the concentrated monsters, reducing their numbers instantly.

Jumping yet again on the treetops, he kept on ambushing different monster armies, still not discovering the dark entities leading these monsters.

His goal is only the dark entities since they are as intelligent as humans, unlike monsters who just swarm in without control.

Lurian spent the day targeting only the larger and flying monsters, that way, the other Adventurer teams will still be able to hunt and train with the easier to deal monsters.

Soon though, the dark entities discovered his position, able to track his movements through the shadows.

The stones in Lurian's guns glowed which also serves as the source of the mana bullets whenever he shoots.

Also, these bullets are powered by Lurian's lightning mana, which he stumbled upon on a quest when a lightning hit a weapon on the ground.

When he pointed the guns on the shadows, the dark entities hiding all popped out against their will, their mana flow was also turned sluggish that made them get stun locked on their positions.

Dush dush dush!

Lurian fired bullets on the heads and hearts of the unmoving and sluggish dark entities, which were all easy to hit targets not enough for him to break even a single sweat.

Lurian's stealthy way of dealing with the dark entities has soon reached the eyes of the other Adventurer teams, both humans and other races.

He was then bathed in glory and praise, saving his continent from the growing numbers of attackers and large monsters.

From then on, Lurian was treated as a Hero, the same level as the other wielders of Legendary grade weapons: Morovi, Solara, Beran, Rellen, Masuli and Calhone.

Among these heroes, Lurian is still not the strongest despite his achievements, only Solara is taking the top spot.

Following Lurian's story closely is another young girl Adventurer Ayana from Purar, which is the second biggest continent.

Ayana's father and mother is a master forger and weapon specialist respectively, crafting a whip called Ka'leena, which was derived from the names of her parents.

Her father was named Kaprim while her mother was Mileena; the two forged the handle and the whip, forming the Ka'leena

Their respective fields combined gave birth to the strongest whip in the world.

The handle of the whip is a destroyed Magic Weapon, in which Kaprim removed the handguard and the remaining blade, extracting only the handle.

He also used solidified mana strands made out of earth mana type to strengthen the handle.

As for Mileena, she applied a different use of earth mana to reinforce the whip but still retains its elastic properties.

She succeeded due to her knowledge in weapons' principles, enabling the whip to be as strong as a gigantic rock when it hits, but is still flexible to use.

Both Ayana's parents passionately taught her how to wield the whip, which was later treated as a Legendary grade due to the masterful application of a specific mana type.

Ayana is the youngest Hero to be crowned as one and this is solely because of her whip that instantly shatters the skulls of monsters she hit with her whip.

With Ka'leena's exclusive ability to automatically protect its user whenever they are in danger, any form of attacks never made it through Ayana even if she is not as good as other ordinary Adventurers.

Just a few more experience and she will soon grow into the same level as the other Heroes.

Since Purar is a large continent, there are a lot of Adventurer teams welcoming the young and immature fighter Ayana, because if they successfully nurtured her, they will become titans in the world of Adventurers.

Both Lurian and Ayana's stories are short, just showing their background and their growths into Heroes, which are still insufficient clues for Veil to understand the objective of Mavis making her, watch these.

Following the two is Feralid, who is actually a dead Adventurer from Scal Pale, brought back to life by the Nethervoice magic orb.

The Nethervoice Orb used aquatic or water type mana to revitalize Feralid's body when he got buried on an unknown temple.

Feralid rose to fame and was crowned as a Hero when he used his orb to predict the movements of the enemies, when and where they will show up, and things like that.

Feralid could also converse with any person in any part of the world using only the oceans and seas.

Due to these massive contributions, even if Feralid does not fight anymore, just his intel alone provides support on the entire Terra.

Feralid's arrival instantly boosted the power of the humans of Terra, earning the envy of other races.

So far, only human Heroes have emerged and even the Legendary weapons luckily fall onto humans' hands only.

With these developments, the dark entities' number of attacks declined and is becoming less common as time progresses.

Feralid's support and ability to predict enemy movements with his orb is the most effective countermeasure against the attackers.

Lastly, Ushein, the last Hero to join the lineup of the 9, now all 10 continents have each their own Hero.

Ushein was a Dragon and human hybrid, which made him the most unique Hero among the ten Heroes.

Draconia was a treasure forged by humanoid Dragons in their home continent next to Apria.

The continent was called the Entogate, which is a natural land for Dragons.

The continent was shown destroyed by an unknown force, sinking the entire continent to the ocean.

Because of the destruction of the entire continent of Entogate, the 12 Draconic pillars previously residing in Entogate split up and created their own realms to sleep and rest.

Meanwhile, the Dragon-human hybrids were evacuated into Apria, the nearest continent to Entogate.

One of the evacuees was Ushein, which is now the only remaining hybrid since is race declined in terms of reproduction.

It should be impossible for Dragons and humans to produce an offspring, however, Ushein was able to grow and live.

Being the only one to live as a hybrid, he was granted to be the wielder of the Draconia, using Draconic mana to protect the humans and the world from danger.

Draconia's exclusive ability is that it can block any kind of attack without any impact to the surroundings and to the user, meaning, he would be able to block an entire meteor if it enters the planet.

The only downside for Ushein is his inability to fight back, only able to focus on blocking for his allies.

The only form of attack Ushein can do is a breath attack from his mouth or when he bashes his enemies with his shield.

When all ten Heroes are completed, only two remaining continents were left without a Hero.

Eblistan's Morovi with Spinefall, Blacnard's Solara with Lightsong, Eblistan's Beran with Lunara, Stoeles' Rellen with Kindleflame, Ufrait's Masuli with Naxia, Nadril's Calhone with Celestiuum, Quaspaith's Lurian with Hellwalker, Purar's Ayana with Ka'leena, Scal Pale's Feralid with Nethervoice and Apria's Ushein with Draconia.

Veil knew that there were originally 13 continents in the ancient times, now that one is revealed to be Entogate, she was now excited to find out the remaining ones.

She was able to go back in time and rewrite a certain part of history, which is the Ancient War; however, she does not know the name of the last continent she thought she could not visit.

"What is the name of the last continent? I think I now slowly understand why you are making me watch the origins of the Heroes." Veil turned to look at Mavis with a curious face.

"Be patient, only one memory is remained on the playback." Mavis waved her hand for the final images.
