Aether stood in front of the large gates of Raya Lumeria Academy, his heart beating in rhythm with the distant roar. The towering stone walls of the academy before him looked gloomy, decorated with moss and vines that hinted at the age of this place. A strong and dark magic aura enveloped the entire area, giving Aether an uncomfortable feeling that pressed against his chest.
They were right about this place," he muttered as he clenched his hand around the hilt of his sword. "This place is filled with dark magic." The secret room was brightly lit by the light of the large candles that lined the walls.
He stepped forward, approaching the large, locked iron gate. Before he could do anything, five robed figures emerged from the shadows, standing guard in front of the gate. Their eyes flashed with magic, and sly smiles graced their faces.
"Stop right there, intruder," said one of the wizards in a deep, cold voice. "No one is allowed to enter the academy without Lady Marwen's permission."
Aether sighed and raised his sword. "Sorry if I'm disturbing you, but I don't have time for small talk. I came to look for something important."
The wizard chuckled. "How dare you! Lady Marwen is an invincible ruler. You will only meet your death here."
Without warning, the witches began to attack. Balls of fire and lightning shot towards the Aether, lighting up the darkness of the night. With trained reflexes, Aether dodged and swung his sword, creating a shield of wind that repelled the attacks.
"You will not stand in my way!" Aether shouted, launching a counterattack. He takes out Dragon Teeth and Fire Cloak, creating a circle of fire that protects him while launching a fire attack that Burns his Enemy.
"Well look who's coming." Suddenly a voice was heard. In the middle of the room, there was a large stone altar that was emitting strong energy. On the altar, stood Lady Marwen, wearing a long black robe with sparkling eyes filled with magical power. "Lady Of Magician Scholar, here I come," he muttered, stepping into the dark great hall, filled with shadows dancing on the walls.
"I have been waiting for you, young man," said Lady Marwen in a soft but powerful voice. "You have overcome all challenges, but this is your final test."
Aether swallowed his tongue and asked "Who are you?" Then, the woman answered "Introduction, I am Lady Marwen. The Keeper of the Forbidden Library."
Aether looked at Lady Marwen with strong determination. "Hooh, then I won't back down. I will defeat you and find the answer I'm looking for."
Lady Marwen smiled faintly. "We'll see," he said, raising his hand. With a quick movement, She Said "Blue Stone" Levitating some Blue magicka into the air and turning it into a glowing Blue Ball, then threw it towards Aether.
Aether jumped to the side, avoiding the attack. The magical light hit the wall behind him, leaving a deep scar. "It seems he's an enemy as difficult to defeat as Ronan. I have to use my wits again." Aether said while avoiding Lady Marwen's attack
Lady Marwen launched these magical attacks repeatedly, each attack filled with deadly magical power. Aether continues to move and is aware that if he pays attention, his attacks will usually miss, or takes cover behind a sturdy pillar (Blue Stone will penetrate a bookshelf), avoiding the attacks while looking for an opening to launch a counterattack. Aether saw that every time Lady Marwen launched an attack, there was a moment where a woman made a chanting sound and light in her mouth. If at any time the woman stopped singing, Lady Marwen would come down and the yellow light around her would fade "It looks like these women Is the Trigger of Lady Marwen's protector." Aether said
Quickly, Aether came up with a plan. She had to take advantage of Lady Marwen's moments of exhaustion to attack. When Lady Marwen launched a huge attack towards him, Aether jumped and dodged, then activated "Wind Sprint" and ran in search of the singing woman at full speed.
Aether swings his sword at the Singing Woman, but the Other woman tries to Repel Aether. However, Aether did not give up. She continued to attack with a series of rapid movements, she found the woman hiding in the dark and immediately killed her with her magic-coated sword.
However, after being killed, Lady Marwen still hasn't shown a situation where she can be defeated. Suddenly, the same tone as before was heard again. "This voice, does anyone still sound that note again?" The chanting of the tune means that if the aether does not kill the person singing the tune, then Lady Marwen's protection will remain active.
Aether then immediately looked for it and it turned out that the woman singing was near Lady Marwen. "Hah! Why is she there, wasn't there a woman singing near her earlier?" When Lady Marwen was emotional, Lady Marwen knew where Aether was, "Haha! There you are Aether!" then, A small Flame appeared in a circle on the floor and he knocked the chandelier from the ceiling. "Feel This, Chandelier Drop!"
Aether panicked because Lady Marwen knew about Aether's hiding place and wanted to unleash her terrible abilities. She dodged the falling lamp and the burning circle of Lady Marwen's magic, then threw a slash from her sword at the singing woman. "No! My child, what are you doing, young man!" Said an angry Lady Marwen, then she pulled a large book beside her with alteration magic and said "Telekinesis" which was directly directed at the aether.
"Really! She Can Still Use Other Magic Again?" Aether reflexively tried to dodge, however, it was too late. The book was already near Aether. He tried to take cover with the "Greater Ward" restoration magic to ward off the magic.
The book was shattered into pieces, but the shards hit Aether's right hand and damaged his power armor. "Tch, why did it get hit?" After finding out that she was injured, he immediately avoided her and hid on a bookshelf some distance away from Lady Marwen.
"Where are you Aether! Don't be a coward," said Lady Marwen. When the situation was under control, Aether healed the wound with "Fast Healing" restoration magic. The wound healed quickly, however, the right power armor could not be repaired. "It's annoying, it seems like this robot hand needs to be repaired with certain tools. If there was Aiden here, he would definitely be able to help."
Aether suddenly fell silent because he heard singing again. "No no no, don't tell me that singing woman is still around." Immediately Aether looked around and saw nothing except a woman in ordinary scholar clothes.
Aether looked again at the other side, and found that he was hiding beside the gate behind Lady Marwen. However, the distance is too far to reach, which means it is too difficult and long to get there.
"Oh, How About This Way." Aether Isn't Out of Mind She Has a New Strategy. She planned to cover the bullets from the rifle with magic and then shot towards the woman from a long distance. Boom! The woman from earlier disappeared into dust.
Aether could see that Lady Marwen was starting to descend and her Barrier was Disappearing. The attack had stopped and Lady Marwen got off the floor. Aether seized the opportunity and launched a final attack with all his strength. Her sword penetrated Lady Marwen's defenses, and magical light exploded all around them.
Aether stopped a few steps from Lady Marwen. "I have come to stop you, Lady Marwen. Your blue light magic has brought destruction to this Dimension and the surrounding world. That is enough."
Lady Marwen laughed softly, full of mockery. "You don't know what you're talking about, young man. My magic is of unimaginable power. With the full moon on my side, I'm invincible."
She rose from her altar, her right hand holding a magic staff that shimmered with energy. The domain previously in the library changed with the floor filled with water and the night sky lit up by a full moon.
Without warning, Lady Marwen launched her next attack, a ball of blue energy that shot towards Aether at incredible speed. Aether raised his hand, Casting the Restoration Magic "Wind Lesser Ward" creating a shield of wind that repelled the attack, but the force also caused him to be pushed back several steps.
"This is just the beginning," said Lady Marwen with a cold smile. He waved his wand, creating illusions that surrounded Aether, attacking him from all directions.
Aether quickly adapted, focusing his mind on separating illusion from reality. He used the restoration magic from the infinium book "Bane Of Protection", summoning the Light That Radiated Across the Territory to counter the incoming illusion. The battle progressed quickly, with both sides displaying their incredible skills and magical powers. Every attack, every defense, was like a deadly dance guided by mystical powers.
Marwen raised her hand to the ceiling of the hall, summoning the power of the Destruction Magic "Blue Moon". A bright blue light enveloped the surrounding area, giving off a magical aura that further strengthened the attack. "With Blue Moon, my power doubles! You have no hope, young man!"
Aether felt the pressure getting stronger, but She did not give up. With determination, he gathered all the power within him, combining the elements of wind and fire to create a powerful attack. She leapt towards Marwen, breaking through his defenses and launching an attack straight at him.
Marwen floated in the air, her body glowing with the light of a Full Moon. Around him, small stars revolved, emitting energy that made his hair look like shimmering auroras. His blue eyes now shone brightly like the moon itself, staring at Aether with burning hatred.
"Do you see now, young man?" Marwen called out, her voice echoing like a thousand echoes. "With the power of the full moon, I become like an invincible goddess of magic!"
Aether felt an immense magic power pressing down on him, but he didn't flinch. "I don't care how strong you are, Marwen. I will stop you, for the good of this world."
Lady Marwen charged the magic in her wand briefly before shooting a beam of energy straight into the aether. Boom! A Destruction Magic "Light Blue Stone" Aether immediately approaches the magic while also analyzing that She Must surround it at a 45° angle Aether then dodge the attack, then take advantage of the old Magic recovery to attack
Marwen Didn't Remain Silent She stretched out her hand, and from the tip of her finger, balls of blue energy shot towards Aether at a surprising speed. Aether tried to dodge, but one ball hit his shoulder, making him fall with a burning pain. He gritted his teeth, got back up with difficulty, and counterattacked with a powerful wind attack.
Swinging his wand in an arc, summons a magical star that flies towards the player after a short delay
Marwen stretched out his hand, and from his fingertips, balls of blue energy shot towards Aether at surprising speed. Aether tried to dodge, but one ball hit his shoulder, making him fall with a burning pain. He gritted his teeth, got back up with difficulty, and counterattacked with a powerful wind attack.
The fight turned into a dance of death in the air and on the ground. Marwen floated gracefully, dodging Aether's attacks and launching counterattacks with deadly accuracy. Aether, with agile and strategic movements, tried to get closer to launch a more direct attack.
"Aether, remember my training," his mentor's voice rang in his head. "Use the power of the Skill tree within you, combining the elements you master."
With renewed vigor, Aether focused himself. It turns out that she still has 2 perks, then she tries to open the perk that is still locked and opens the Augmented Element perk which gives the Element Spell effect that produces 25% more damage (50% for second rank) and Force Dual Casting which can combine elements.
He summoned the powers of Wind and fire, combining them into one powerful final attack. Wind swirled around him, lifting the flames into a swirling fire tornado.
"Come on, Marwen! This is the end of your reign!" shouted Aether.
She jumped high into the air, breaking through the star storm with the power of her fire tornado. Marwen saw it coming, but it was too late. The fire tornado crashed into his body with devastating force, destroying his magic protection and throwing him to the ground with great force.
Marwen fell to the water floor hard, her staff flying far away. The light of the full moon began to fade, and the stars disappeared from the ceiling. Aether landed near him, his breath ragged and his body covered in wounds. He knew this was his last chance.
With the last of his strength, Aether raised his sword and stepped towards the injured Marwen. "This is the end, Marwen."
Marwen lay limp and the magical energy around her began to fade. "You...did it," he said in a weak voice. "You have proven yourself."
Aether stood up with a gasp. "What is happening right now?"
Lady Marwen smiled faintly. "You are worthy of receiving this secret key," he said as he took out a golden key from his robe and handed it to Aether. "I will give you the Cthulna Key, use this key to open the last room in this castle. There, you will find the answer you are looking for."
"Before that, young man, can I ask you one request," said Lady Marwen who was panting. "Yes, I will do it if I can do it," answered Aether. Lady Marwen spoke in a low tone which made Aether startled, "What? OK, then I will do it," answered Aether firmly, "Thank you, young man, he is very valuable to me, so-" Before he could finish his words, Lady Marwen screamed, his body was enveloped in a blue light before finally disappearing, leaving only a fading shadow in the great hall.
With that black key, Aether felt a mixture of relief and joy. He knew that the challenge was not over, but he had made great progress, but on the other hand Aether was restless about the responsibility given by Lady Marwen.
Aether stood in front of a large door made of black metal, filled with intricate carvings. He felt a strong magical aura emanating from behind that door. Carefully, he inserted the golden key he received from Lady Marwen into the keyhole and turned it.
The door opened with a heavy creak, revealing a small room lit by candlelight. In the center of the room, there was a stone altar decorated with ancient symbols. On the altar, there was a large book with a worn leather cover.
Aether approached the altar carefully. He felt the powerful energy radiating from the book. With slightly trembling hands, he opened the book and began to read its pages filled with ancient writings and lifelike drawings.
As he read, Aether felt as if he was being pulled into the book. The world around him began to change, and he felt his body drifting between reality and dream. The light in the room grew dimmer, and the surroundings turned into complete darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely different place. The surroundings were dark and gloomy, with the walls looking cracked and moss-covered. Aether realized that he had been transported to another world, a world full of new challenges and mysteries.
