In the northern forest, Raven fell through the gap in space. His body was protected by a thin layer of sword energy that emitted a silvery light.
Raven slowly raised his head towards the south where the mansion was located.
"Damn… Damn… Dam it!!!"
"Why… why did the shaman from the Court of The Dead arrive at that place." Raven slammed a tree beside him.
This shouldn't have happened. He wasn't someone who should have died.
But now… everything had become so chaotic. Someone who should have survived into the future and become one of the pillars of the kingdom, the one who created the Light Order army… was now dead.
He should have continued to survive even in despair and ended up finding a way to reverse death into life. He was someone who shouldn't die right now.
But now, that person was definitely dead. Even if he didn't, the Court of The Dead would chase after that person even if he escaped. They were a group that wouldn't tolerate someone who broke the law that all living things would meet their end.
"No. Something doesn't make sense. Why did that shaman suddenly appear there?" Moreover, he is Veibel Ernest. That person should have stayed in Ernest's grave until the end of his life."
All my movements should have been perfect. No one would have known of my arrival here other than the White Snow Academy and Veronica Ashburn.
Furthermore, there was no way the shaman would have found Mr. Rumanoff there.
"Are you alright, my lord?"
"Ivor…"
Raven looked at his partner emerging from the shadows. He walked with heavy steps with wounds covering most of his body. Although his body was in pain, he still showed a bright face.
"I'm fine. I just need a little time to calm myself down."
"I really don't want to say this but we should go to White Snow Academy soon. Otherwise, the other Shamans will come to this place soon."
"It seems that things are not going smoothly."
"It was indeed surprising when the Shaman who took care of Ernest's Cemetery suddenly came. Fighting someone who is already in the second awakening stage is quite troublesome even if I fight with all my strength." Ivor paused for a moment and immediately knelt down. "I apologize for my failure to stop the Shaman."
"No. It was my fault." Raven shook his head. He stood up while looking at the traces of silver light that had disappeared from his body. In an instant, the power he had before reappeared.
The seal placed by Rumanoff had disappeared. Now, he could use the power he had again.
"I will return to White Snow Academy. Ivor, can you find out who made the Shaman from the Court of The Dead move?"
"Of course."
Ivor stepped into the shadow and disappeared.
Raven also immediately ran towards the White Snow Academy area. The distance between this place and the White Snow Academy was not too far.
Meanwhile, Ivo looked towards the mansion where Veibel was currently located.
"Raven should not move from there until he convinces the Zombie to join him. Hmm… that should be it, right?"
Raven should have moved to secure someone he said in the future would be the one who would create the Light Order. Whatever confidence he had, to believe that a Zombie could become a human, Ivo could only laugh mockingly.
He was a Regressor who was said to have returned from the future. Players could find out as long as they accompanied Raven and joined him, always accompanying him and understanding his suffering, and most importantly saving Rachel when she was in danger.
As long as players did that, they could uncover information that he was a Regressor like in fantasy novels. Even if it was only that much, everything would become clear about how he could know so many talented people who would become important characters in the future.
"Sooner or later he would know what would happen. That Regressor, he has a cheat ability that allows him to see the truth. But he probably won't be able to do much to kill me."
"Veibel must have weakened him quite a bit. If he fought Veibel, he would definitely have to sacrifice the Core of Soul he had to briefly gain power equal to Veibel who was in the second awakening stage."
But that was if he was there, right?
Well, whether he was there or not was none of my business. The important thing was that the zombie was there and Veibel would exterminate it. After all this was over, I could take the money there.
"Tonight, let's eat Meatballs with the special sauce from the inn. I'm really hungry…"
Ivo relaxed on a park bench while throwing mana crystals into the air and catching them again.
Even though he was just sitting while occasionally throwing crystals into the air, Ivo did not rest at all. He trained his mana senses non-stop.
There were many ways to train mana senses, but the fastest way was to circulate the mana in the body following the blood flow. Although this process could be said to be fast, the consequence was severe mental fatigue.
To follow the speed of the blood flow that continued to flow in the body, and feel with the senses that humans had, achieving this was really difficult. In addition to the acute mental fatigue, there was also damage that could occur in the body, the body would feel tired, and various symptoms could appear.
Even for him, he had to continue using 5 healing magic.
Nature healing to cure body fatigue.
Healing Sphere, the magic he used before to reduce pain.
3 magic that restores mental fatigue, calms the brain and mind, and slightly increases the speed of brain processing. Especially these 3 spells, if he didn't continue using them every five seconds, Ivo would immediately fall to the ground and convulse.
"To reach the intermediate stage, I must first be able to sense all the mana in my body with my Mana Sense. No part can be missed at all otherwise when I forcefully sense the mana in nature for the first time, the development will be very slow and it will be very difficult to advance."
If someone recklessly forced themselves to feel the mana in nature without fully understanding the mana in the body, the feeling they felt at that time would greatly hinder the development of one's Mana sense.
Ivo used to experience this often so he was forced to focus his development on swordsmanship. Although he succeeded in developing an intermediate Mana Sense, raising his Mana Sense to a high level was like hell.
However, that wasn't the case for me right now. If given enough time, it was very possible for me to reach a high level of Mana Sense. However, when he did this, he could give up on using the sword because his specialty would be formed when he forced his Mana Sense to a high level.
Sacrificing his potential as a swordsman and not being able to use the swordsmanship that he had worked so hard to create. It was quite unfortunate but Ivo had already decided to become a Magician.
"You worked hard enough. But once in a while, it's important to take a break."
Veibel's voice came from behind. When Ivo saw him, he was a little surprised by the scene there.
Veibel had lost his right arm, a sword slash wound could be seen on his left shoulder, and 2 deep slashes that could even show his ribs. Although Ivo couldn't really feel it, he could tell that there was golden Mana eroding his body.
So he did fight Raven. If so, I'll probably be investigated by Ivor and his shadow army.
To be able to injure a shaman to this point was truly impressive. Ivo knew that Raven must have sacrificed the Soul Core that he had worked so hard to form. Otherwise, there was no way he could injure a shaman to this point.
"This… Shaman… I…" Ivo showed a face of deep regret and wanted to curse and beg for forgiveness towards Veibel in front of him.
But Veibel immediately stopped him with his only remaining hand. "My friend, don't dirty your body by kneeling like that. You don't have to regret this either. In fact, you've done me a great favor by telling me this."
"These wounds are nothing. Shamans have ways to treat their own bodies and can restore lost limbs. Something like this is just a small matter that can be ignored." Veibel said with a smile on his face.
Ivo also knew this. He was once a Shaman and knew how versatile the magic that the Court of The Dead gave to shamans was. But he still had to put on a face full of regret when someone met with misfortune.
It would be strange if he didn't.
Therefore, Ivo often puts on a fake face when playing games.
"No… I have made a big mistake by causing a Shaman like you to suffer such an injury… I…"
"Haha… you are still young. So you don't know how vast our magic is. Maybe when you are in White Snow Academy, you will know how amazing the Shamans' magic is." Veibel immediately interrupted Ivo. "Come, I haven't entertained my guest properly. This is my fault as a host."
Veibel invited Ivo to visit the place where he lived.
"Is that okay?"
Ivo heard it and replied with a smile.
"Of course. It is an honor for me to visit the place where the shamans live."
