Chapter 21

"Should we wait for some more time for him to stabilize?"

"We can, but looking at him, I doubt there would be any difference. I can sense his body and mind have healed perfectly..."

"Then what should we do? We have already used an elixir, but if we don't dig out the source of this all then we could not prevent such events in the future?"

"Hmm. For now, tighten the security of the young master's courtyard. Order the guards to be vigilant at all times and not leave him alone even if he asks so. Dispatch a team of investigators to find clues, and one of you go and check the barrier to see if there's something wrong with it."

The elder paused, looking at the 2nd young master, he further added, "Explain what happened to him and see if there's any reaction."

With that, he left in a hurry, confusing the others.

After coming out of the room, he stroked his chin as he looked at the surroundings.

He wondered to himself in a somewhat serious manner.

'What's going on...? A healing elixir is something that can bring back a person from the brink of death, but why was he not able to remember what happened? How can an elixir be ineffective...'

The elder pondered for some time, he had a bad premonition about something, some days ago, the clan elites sensed a strange and ominous phenomena.

It was so disturbing that the respected clan guardian personally went to check on it which clearly meant that it was dangerous enough to be harmful to them...

But then a few minutes later, the strange phenomena suddenly vanished as if it never existed in the first place.

The clan guardian also did not say anything much on the topic and asked everyone to ignore it.

Many of the clan members were unsettled by this and wanted to investigate it further.

However, no one wanted to oppose the guardian.

After the clan head and their wife, the clan guardian held the highest authority.

She has been overseeing the clan since ancient times, she's powerful and has incomprehensible powers.

"For now, I need to quickly rise through the ranks..."

The exorcists are ranked into 7 levels.

Rank 1 to Rank 7

Rank 1 being considered the newcomers to the exorcist world, just beginning their training and having a basic amount of knowledge about spiritual combat and purification techniques.

These exorcists have no particular exorcism style and typically work under the high-ranking exorcists.

Rank 2 being the next step as they solidify their foundations on purification techniques and combat styles, they usually undergo rigorous training and this stage has always been considered tough for beginners. They can handle minor demons.

Rank 3 exorcists are one step ahead, able to operate independently without the supervision of a high-ranking exorcist and handle low to mid-level demons.

Rank 4 exorcists are even more advanced, capable of dealing with high-ranking demons.

Rank 5 level exorcists are in charge of leading other exorcists in wars, missions, and dealing with catastrophic demons.

The later level exorcists are legendary beings.

It was rumored that the clan heads of the 5 clans belong to these stages... of course, it's unknown how these levels operate and how many of such exorcists exist.

Creak!

"Zippy, I am going out to the market... I will bring you some meat."

"Meow!"

Oliver announced and left the courtyard, he had some things he wanted to purchase from the clan's market.

His goal was quite simple.

It was to use his special eyes to cheat through the market; in the novels he used to read, he was always fascinated by the protagonists who had special abilities to distinguish treasures among trash.

Now that he had such means himself, there was no way he was going to be passing on such an opportunity.

It was a great opportunity to collect some rare artifact to further ensure his future and if possible, look for something to fasten Nadia's growth as well.
