chapter 18

after I processed the information I had heard, I was seething with rage.

while I didn't know my classmates personally, they were still necessary meat shields.

that was a joke. I didn't like them but that didn't mean I wanted them dead.

"tell me everything you know," I threatened.

she explained that the church had destroyed her village in hopes of finding some artefact and they began slaughtering her neighbors.

she escaped because the pope said she had "high potential" and forced her to become the main experiment.

she told me how underneath the church was a whole labyrinth of tunnels that led to other cities.

she also explained how they weren't connected to two villages.

the witches and a place called border town. the people in border town lived poorly because of a noble.

the perfect place to hide outside the churches influence was going to be at border town. I'll live as an adventurer there while developing my magic to the peak.

I knew vel and the others would be relatively safe, and if something did happen to them then I can just teleport over using the ring as a source.

I tapped her head and used the spell "clear all".

clear all: a form of magic that when used clears the caster or targeted individual to be cleared of any and all magic control.

"there now take me to border town," I said as I hid my presence from vel.

(pov vel)

"she just went dark," she said as she felt Athena's signature disappear.

"she's dead," Conoleth asked.

"no if she was dead the slave mark would have disappeared," Nero corrected.

"so she's just concealing herself through the ring," Conoleth correcting herself.

"yes, but for what reason I don't know," vel said.

vel wasn't worried about her. no.. she was more worried of the damage she would cause if she was alone.

(back to Athena)

Hannah and I entered border town, and rented a hotel for the month and I began my training.

everyday I would use my knowledge to allow me to use the proper magic, and to break through to the next rank.

thankfully hero's can break through much easier than any other race so I practically tripled my progress.

(Diana

fire: tier 4

water: tier 6

wind: tier 7

space: tier 4

time: tier 5

earth: tier 4

lava: tier 3

shadows: tier 7

light: tier 5

ice: tier 8

lightning: tier 6

holy: tier 6

vile: tier 3)

it could have been higher but I was also developing a new type of magic so it required a lot more of my attention.

I call it analysis.

it will let me analyze any type of magic and find the best spell to counter it.

what was that? how long did it take me to make it?

don't worry about It.

I was in this town for almost 2 months so I was going to have to leave soon otherwise my position would be exposed.

I laughed and looked at my guild card and saw that they promoted me to A rank. the only reason I got it so fast was because I would take multiple mission at a time, I even ignored the difficulty of it and just got it done.

while I was here I help this Town prosper. I built walls around the city and even sometimes helped with the farming.

the farming was mainly because it helped with my earth magic and because it was also training my body, so win win.

I looked over the town that had grown from a couple of shacks to a full city capable of defending itself.

I stopped hiding myself from vel and I ran into the woods, unaware of where I was even going.

(pov church)

"none of our scouts have found any information regarding the necromancers location," a man said kneeling in front of the pope.

"and Hannah," the pope said clenching his pole in anger.

"we haven't gathered any information about her either," he reported.

"so what use are you," the pope said slamming his hand on his throne.

"my apologies, we will work tirelessly in order to find her," the man said as he ran out of the door

"kill him and anyone related to him," the pope said.

a man appeared in a black cloak while kneeling on the ground.

"understood. should I also find the whereabouts of the necromancer," the man asked.

"she's necessary for my plan. If I find her then we can continue my plan," the pope said.

the man disappeared into black smoke.

once he was gone the pope threw a fit. throwing stuff, hitting stuff, or just breaking anything available.

"everything was going according to plan BUT SHE SCREWED IT UP," the pope yelled.
