Chapter 844: Fresh Graduate
Meanwhile, in the Human Realm, the fabric of reality started twisting before it created a void! Then, in a few moments, five individuals wearing cloaks similar to Jin's group arrived.
Needless to say, they were also Time Manipulators... With the Artifacts in their possession, they were able to step through the veil between realms.
The surrounding space was filled with temporal energy, and the world seemed to hold its breath as it emerged into the human realm. Just their presence affected the Will of the Human Realm.
It showed how they differed from Jin's group of Time Manipulators!
The temporal rift they created was a tear in the continuum, allowing them to traverse vast distances instantaneously.
As they stepped through, the very fabric of reality bent and warped around them, creating a ripple effect that momentarily distorted the surroundings. The air even started humming with the residual energy of their passage.
Wasa, the leader, stood tall and imposing.
His cloak had very distinct similarities to the ones Jin and his group had worn, but they were simply more golden fabric in it.
"What a feeble realm... I could barely feel any pure mana in the surroundings. It will be tough to stay here for even a few weeks." Wasa commented after looking around. His eyes glowed with a cold, blue light, and his silver hair flowed like liquid mercury.
He seemed to truly disdain coming here.
"I think this is quite exciting... If the people here are all weak, then it will be easy... We can just kill as many people as we can to find the Talent that we were looking for..."
Beside him, Liora, a small figure with blue hair and red eyes, moved around like she was truly excited. Her attire was also similar to that of the leader, who had a blue and gold robe, but it could be seen that she had a rapier with her.
"I agree, Liora... That would be faster... Anyone we kill with our weapon would have their Talents absorbed anyway... As long as we kill enough people, we will obtain this Talent." Another said.
It was Cyper who was broad-shouldered and muscular. He had skin marked with glowing runes that pulsed with temporal energy. His dark hair was cropped short, and his green eyes scanned the surroundings with a warrior's vigilance. Among the group, he was the one who had the largest build and seemed more like a warrior instead of a Time Manipulator.
"Killing is not good... You need to think of the Karma..."
"We've hit a dead end, Aubrey," Vale said. "The Spirit's knowledge is limited. We need another source."
Aubrey sighed, closing the ancient tome she had been poring over. "You're right," she replied. "But where do we go from here?"
Before they could ponder further, a message arrived-a request for Aubrey's expertise in a neighboring town plagued by paranormal activities.
Anyway, since they had nothing to do for now, they decided to check on this incident.
***
Eldergrove was an old-fashioned town nestled in a valley... The steam-powered train hadn't even reached this area yet...
After asking around, they confirmed that almost everyone knew about the mission they
received.
The townsfolk spoke of strange occurrences-ghostly apparitions, objects moving on their own, and an unsettling presence that seemed to permeate the air.
Aubrey and Vale's Avatar arrived at dusk. During this time, the sky was painted in hues of
orange and purple.
They were soon greeted by the town's mayor, a portly man with a nervous demeanor.
"Thank you for coming," he said, wringing his hands. "We need your help. The townsfolk are
terrified."
It was actually the mayor who had personally requested a Paranormal Expert! However, as soon as they arrived, a group of white-robed individuals had also arrived!
It seemed that even the Priests were alerted!
"Ho~ What do we have here... A freshly graduated Paranormal Expert?! Hahaha!"
