Nytri walks out of the castle and reaches the vehicle, she looks around for Paxius but he's nowhere to be seen. Nytri scratches her hair, "Where could that bull be?" A screen opens before Nytri showing a map of the area and Paxius is high in the sky watching the coliseum. Nytri speaks telepathic with him, "Paxius, I'm done here."
Paxius replies, "Alright, I'll be down soon." He flies down surprising everyone present, they start to think him to be strong. "Alright," Paxius smiles, "Shall we be going?" Nytri nods and they enter the vehicle. The vehicle makes a 90 degree turn at the same spot, then it drives past the fountain. People gather around to watch this strange carriage that moves without being pulled, they assume it to be a sacred treasure.
The vehicle drives a bit forward then the engine starts revving, the underside of the vehicle glows blue. It starts lifting off the ground slowly rising up, it passes the buildings. The vehicle starts moving forward slowly but picks up speed. It passes the gates then it drops from the sky landing hard on the ground before driving away at high speed. In a few minutes, only the dust trail is left of the vehicle.
Nytri is in the vehicle on the passenger seat, she gets up walking to a fridge then takes a juice box. She starts drinking then walks to the right side of the vehicle and opens a lid. The top of the vehicle has rails moving up with a couch and a little cupboard. It looks like the top of the vehicle is a glass bubble. Nytri sits on the couch and notices a guitar hidden by the of a small cupboard, she reaches out and takes it with a smile. "Waow, this is really well made. Huh?" she sees a note
"If you are reading this then it means you came up here to enjoy the view. I placed a guitar here for you, since you are at terrible dancing. According to some prince in his fantasy, you voice is like the chatter of pretty birds."
Nytri has veins showing on her hand, she sees more at the bottom.
P.S; don't burn this note, it won't change the fact that you can't dance.
P.S; I wanna hear you sing so I will be recording, no pressure.
Love Isa GStein."
Nytri's eyes glows and the symbols appear, "Ohhh, someone's going to get the spanking of a lifetime." Nytri sighs, "Forget it, she's not wrong." She crosses her leg on the couch and starts playing the guitar. After a while, she starts singing. Her voice escapes the vehicle to the night sky. The stars start glistering as she sings, her songs strangely change to one about a 'Father'.
She wonders why she started singing those words then she notices a star moving over a mountain. She rubs her eyes and looks again since this is something she's never seen before. She waves her hand, "Stop the car." The vehicle starts slowing down then to a stop. The mountain is over 3 kilometers away.
Paxius pokes his head from below, "What's up?" He follows Nytri's eyes and sees a star on a mountain, "What the f-"
"Let's go." She teleports from the vehicle to the mountain base to not startle the star. Nytri walks up the mountain, her eyes on the star. A portal opens behind Nytri and Paxius walks out of it holding a portal gun which has a white sphere at the tip of the barrel. Paxius takes a step to follow Nytri then he feels a set of eyes on him with a voice barely a whisper,
{The enemy, is to your left.} Paxius turns quickly and notices a strange creature unlike anything he's barely ever seen. The creature notices his vision and starts fleeing, Paxius gives chase after glancing at Nytri. Paxius sighs and his thought, "Be careful, though I doubt I can do anything against something that can hurt you." He gives chase to the strange creature but it seems to be gaining some distance.
Paxius appears right before the creature but at that instant he loses all EP he has and the creature slip past him. Paxius looks in the direction of the creature and speaks telepathically, "Ivan, I saw something…..I don't know what it is but it doesn't look like it's from earth. Can you track it now?" He receives a reply and Ivan appears right beside him, Paxius points in the direction and Ivan flies but doesn't see it. He starts tracking and Paxius walks back to the mountain.
Nytri was climbing the mountain but now she is skipping up, jumping over a distance to the top. Her eyes glued on the star. She starts to make out the figure in the star, it's humanoid. It turns to look at Nytri and she sees its face of 4 eyes and a floating gold crown. The star speaks but the voice is completely different from the first voice, this is like thunder. "So, you can see me. You do not seem afraid." Nytri is staring as if in a trance and the star continues, "No, you couldn't be afraid. It seems my job will be done by you."
Nytri finally speaks, "Why couldn't I be afraid?" Nytri stares at the figure.
The figure smiles, "Because He's letting you win." The star looks to the sky. Nytri follows the gaze of the star to the sky but doesn't see anything. Nytri looks at the star and it shoots up into the sky at super speeds.
Nytri taps her chin in thought, "Information Magic, this mysterious being is just like the mysterious ones I saw in the land of the dead. Was I hit with a hypnotic attack to let my guard down?"
Information Magic replies, [Negative. Detected no danger or threats in the vicinity.]
Nytri looks at the sky, "Despite packing weapons…."
[Affirmative]
Nytri sighs looking at the mountain, "Map the area, about 3 kilometers…..no 30 kilometers. I doubt what that being was here for would be normal." A map appears before her showing the entire area, "Good, scan for abnormalities."
[No Abnormality detected.]
"Hmmm," Nytri muses, "Scan for all intelligent life forms."
[Scan Complete. Detected 204 intelligent life forms in the mountains. Results: Humans > Pure Humans and Mixed Humans, Spirit-kin]
"What're they up to?" Nytri asks observing the map and the super accurate live feed of the map of people moving.
[Results: Possible Adventurers, Slaves, Spirit-kin. Adventurers presumed to be bandits due to arrangement and placements]
Paxius arrives by Nytri, he stands aside and observes the map before her. "What're you up to?"
"There's something here capable of attracting the attentions of those strange beings." Nytri speaks, "The ones that guide souls to the land of rest. And it looked armed to kill."
Paxius looks at the map, "Well, that's not a good sign. So what happened?"
Nytri looks at Paxius, "He said he'll leave it to me to do his job. I need your thoughts, there isn't anything here that would need someone of his power or mine to intervene."
Paxius observes the map in thoughts, "Slaves? Slavery is common among humans so there's no reason for such beings to act because of it….." He observes the Spirit-kin, "That's odd, it looks like that's being carved….alive." He opens his eyes wide then points to that moving object, "Nytri look."
Nytri looks at what Paxius is pointing and Paxius speaks, "That Spirit-kin is being carved. I overheard news of Spirit-kin being hunted from Falshurx. It seems to be good business but done only in the blackmarket."
Nytri muses, "Spirit-kin huh. Information Magic, what are the Spirit-kin?"
[Spirit-kin: a race of elemental beings originating from the Celestial realm. The Spirit-kin on earth are only Lessers of the True Spirit-kin race in the Celestial realm, born on earth to grow until the evolve into True Spirit-kin. They ascend to the Celestial realm after evolving but some can choose to remain. Spirit-kin possess raw elemental energy that can be used to refine artifacts or eaten to absorb their elemental energy. Powerful Spirit-kin on earth can form contracts with others to lend them their power. Estimated level boost from contract is 50+ Levels depending on rank of Spirit-kin]
Nytri shares her thoughts with Paxius so he learns of this too. Paxius speaks, "That explains why Spirit-kun is highly valuable though people don't eat them. They say even eating the weakest of the Spirit-kin can kill, so they use their energy, parts and blood."
Nytri sighs, "Again, not surprised by human greed. Paxius, can you track the movement of Spirit-kin products in the blackmarket? I want to shut this operation down, permanently."
Paxius nods, "Alright, I'll handle that." He turns around then looks back to Nytri, "I saw a strange being, it's somehow similar to the star being in your memories but seemed different….and ugly. I asked Ivan to follow that so he'll send you what he finds" He looks forward and points the portal gun before him, "We'll meet in Azuria." He fires the gun and portals to someplace.
Nytri nods then looks at the screen, "So, these bastards attracted the ire of a star being….and now me." Her eyes glow, "REALITY CONTROL > REALITY ISOLATION." The mountain and the area around are instantly wrapped in a black sphere but can only been seen by the powerful and not normal people.
Nytri stretches a bit, "Just to make sure this end, turning them into abominations won't require any backlash." She grins, "Afterall, these people are going to be killed. No one will complain if they cease being….humans." She focuses her pressure on the mountain, it has no effect on the people since they don't feel it, at all.
[AU: INFO
- Flying is a very rare occurrence. It is believed that only the strong can fly, though spells exist that can be used but it's not easy to learn them.
- Stars: Chapter 153: The Story of Beginning.
- REALITY CONTROL > REALITY ISOLATION: A skill that isolates a space from reality. What happens inside or outside is completely isolated. Perfect and overkill trap yet.
- Releasing pressure is a way to suppress possible threats. If your opponent can't feel your pressure then it's probably a bug….even bugs can feel pressure so soil might do. This Pressure though makes your location known, it has more benefits like a chance of making enemy attacks fail. Making enemies hallucinate (Nytri's Nightmare Title), and best of all, if the enemy can sense it and very weak, it can be used to kill. It can also increase the range of attacks to the edge of the pressure.
