Chereads / The Libertas Dive / Chapter 35 - Merchant City of Lerosso in Panic

Chapter 35 - Merchant City of Lerosso in Panic

~~~(POV: Arch-Duke Frasier Barxoes)~~~

~~~(Location: Church of the Light Mother Gleawern, Merchant City of Lerosso, in the Northern part of the Termal Empire)~~~

~~~(Date February 12th, 2297)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:00 PM)~~~

The room is utterly silent as the words of Holy Seer Kalistein and Holy Seer Zelli. "The cold... The endless Darkness... The terror that I felt... I've never experienced anything like that in my entire life..." Lady Kalistein speaks of the place they had a vision of... If you could call it that... Their minds were taken to another place by Light Mother Gleawern.

Shown the existence of something that can end all reality... "Lady Zelli... You said that Light Mother Gleawern specifically said Darkness Incarnate..." These are the words that worry me the most... As the lord of the Lerosso Duchy, it's my responsibility to bring these messages to the royal family. The player who is now Darkness Incarnate was chosen long before he was born in the real world.

There is an ancient prophecy telling what will happen if The Darkness Incarnate were ever to exist... "We must tell the royal family immediately... Do either of you know anything regarding the true identity of The Darkness Incarnate?" Both Lady Kalistein and Lady Zelli shake their heads. Damn it! We don't know who or what we need to kill to save the world!

The others around the table are silent themselves. In my despair, I hear a long sigh come from the end of the table. The individual's name is Feroxes Iremon, and he's an Exotic Grade Adventurer and one of the strongest people in the northern areas of the Termal Empire. He's level 880 and has all Epic Grade gear and higher.

He's on good terms with the royal family and me and one of the most respected swordsmen in all of Libertas. "Light Mother Gleawern has been quiet because of this? Doesn't that seem strange to anyone else? Why did she stop communicating?" Feroxes Iremon is not an overconfident and egotistical man, and at 32 years of age, he's humble in his power.

One of the more strategically minded adventurers too, and doesn't overlook the small details. "The points you bring up are good, Feroxes... That doesn't explain why Light Mother Gleawern would stay quiet..." The Darkness Incarnate could have something to do with it... It's the only explanation we have. There is a major problem, though.

The Darkness Incarnate is considered neutral, and we can't openly attack or defy The Darkness Incarnate. That'll cause huge problems for us, one of the Churches of Light, and anyone who would try would get the same treatment by the Order of Religions. They'll make sure that punishment is dished out appropriately. This situation isn't good...

~~~(POV: Lyatt Scott)~~~

~~~(Location: Boss room of The Crystalline Caves of Domeir)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:53 PM)~~~

My journey to this boss room hasn't been easy. The heat and amount of monsters isn't something that I expected, and they've proved to be a challenge. I almost died at one point, but I stayed true to my tactic of retreating to recharge my mana and health and reengaging. I've gained 15 EXP towards my Player Level. Making me level 11 now.

I've used all my combat skills getting here, and I've gotten an even 15 EXP for all my combat skills. Most of them are close to leveling up again, and I'm noticing that I'm not leveling up my combat skills as fast right now. That's not a bad thing, but it's also not a good thing. Speaking of using skills, I should take a breather before I continue.

The boss is right around the corner, and I'm low on mana from fighting the last group. While I wait for it to recharge, I can go over what I know about the boss of The Crystalline Caves of Domeir. It's a monster that's made out of Libertas's natural mana. Sometimes it twists when supplying the lands, and it forms what's called a Nature Avatar.

Technically, it's a monster. Many don't consider them monsters since they don't actively target and engage living creates. They only attack if provoked or an outsider invades the home. The name of the Nature Avatar up ahead is Illetheina, it's a female variant, and it's been here for thousands of years.

The older a Nature Avatar is, the more intelligent it is. Much of the lore states that Illetheina speaks to the invaders of the dungeon when they reach the boss room. Since most dungeons don't disappear when you clear them, people reran this dungeon and learned valuable information from Illetheina. I know what she has to offer. I'm doing this to get more info added to my Player Lore.
