Chapter 14 [Elven Younger Generation]
Asoka sat in his seat and thought about if he should make an apostle and send them down to the world of Alpha ruler. After a long thought, Asoka eventually decided in favor of making an apostle. The reason was that this Apostle would be the perfect introduction of the Elven race to Alpha Planet. After over 10000 years of waiting, Asoka felt it was time his race had revealed itself. They had already caught up to the wider world in basically every area and even were advanced in some areas such as enchanting, mana formations, technology, etc.
Thus, Asoka got to work on making his Apostle.
.....
ONE WEEK LATER IN Verdentia!
In the Verdentia Central Empire, a typical day unfolded. Children attended the academy, adults went to work, scouts ventured out to hunt, and Ariyas tended to the plants. However, without warning, a brilliant light implosion erupted at the Grand Temple of Asoka, sweeping across Elven Island. As the light touched each Elves, they were instantly teleported to the Grand Hall of the Grand Temple. The rulers of the various kingdoms were transported to the front of the assembly, and the light gradually dimmed. Then, a serene and ethereal voice filled the hall, "My Children." As Asoka's voice resonated, all the Elves knelt, hands clasped in prayer, gazing forward. The main Origin Eight Elves also knelt in reverence.
Suddenly, a radiant green light appeared, and a baby girl materialized within it. The girl, Akarya, was adorable and possessed a unique hair and eye color, fluorescent pink, indicating a strong connection to nature rivaling that of the Original Eight Elves. Beside her lay the White and Black Gloves, imbued with an aura of power, and the Bow of Nunoboko, crafted by Asoka. "My children, this is Akarya, my Apostle," Asoka declared. "As time passes, the world grows increasingly perilous. Abyssal monsters threaten to engulf the land, and evil spreads. Akarya will be the Elves' champion, defending against these darknesses. Her talent is nascent, but with proper training, she will become unbeatable. Her soul weapons, the Arcane Scaled Fists Gauntlet and the Bow of Nunoboko, are tailored to her exceptional abilities in archery, close combat, and magic."
Asoka continued, "As my Apostle, Akarya's hair color is unique, but do not worry, for her descendants will inherit their partner's hair color, without the benefits of an Apostle Cherish Akarya, for she will be the sharpest sword and greatest shield of the Elven Race. Remember, my people, we are guardians of nature, defenders of its beauty, and embracers of the world. Never covet what belongs to others, and always protect your kin."

--- SIXTEEN YEARS LATER ---
A flash of thunder illuminated the devastated surroundings. Cracks covered the earth. Sparks of lightning flashed through each crack as Sandstorms filled the entire desert area. The surrounding area was a vast desert, as vast as one can see. However, this was not the only interesting fact about this desert. There was little to no wind in the surroundings, and there were also no light sources readily available. From the sun, moon, and stars to even other light sources such as magical crystals or torch-lights, none were available or could be used.
This place was Xerath Island, a relic of ancient times. It was said that as long as anyone in existence could remember, Xerath Island was a unique place in the world. An isolated island where no light could reach, and any light sources that entered the vicinity of the island would immediately stop working. Not only that, wind was scarce in this place, and the senses of anyone on the island would be dulled considerably. The island was also crawling with monsters, many of them dangerous.
Yet, Xerath Island was a place that was used as a training spot for basically every race that could access it. This was because the mana in Xerath Island was incredibly pure and seemingly endless, making it a region perfect for combat training and cultivating. Due to this, many races would send members of their younger generation to train their combat skills on this island since it forced them to improve their senses, prediction capability, magical ability, survival, and combat instincts.
On Xerath Island, amidst the lightning-scarred landscape, stood a group of six masked Elves, accompanied by two elemental spirits, one Ariya and one Golem. Leading them was a breathtakingly beautiful young woman, seemingly around eighteen years old. Her vibrant, fluorescent pink hair appeared almost otherworldly in the ravaged desert, and her pink eyes shone like blooming lotus flowers. A black-golden mask concealed her facial features, but her presence radiated an aura of refinement and poise.
Her slender hands and feet, delicate limbs, and finely sculpted physique exuded perfection. Elegant black and white attire hugged her form, accentuating her curves while revealing a hint of her chest. White gloves covered her hands, hinting at the devastating power they possessed. In her arms, she cradled a green bow, its design reflecting her elegant nature.
This was Akarya, the Apostle of Asoka, inspiring unwavering confidence and comfort in those around her. The group consisted of two purple-haired elves, a red-haired Elves', a golden-haired Elf, a black-haired Elf, two elemental spirits (ice and fire), one earth Golem, and Ariya Despite the harsh surroundings, Akarya's presence seemed to elevate those near her, as if her beauty and grace made everything else appear mundane.
It had been around 16 years since the day when Akarya was born and named Asoka's Apostle and was born into the world. That day, the entirety of Elven Kind had celebrated and instantly named Akarya the Elven Saintess yet also been cautious. They knew they had to train Asoka's Apostle to perfection to protect not only herself but the Elven race from the terrifying abyss that seemed like the opposite of Elves.
Akarya was trained and learned in every form of combat. She was personally taught by all the firstborn origin elves in every form of combat and other subjects. She mostly Excel in Katana, archery, and close combat during battle.
She does not have any form of magic affinity but only possesses anti-magic and one transcended affinity, Nihility or nothingness manipulation magic.
She possesses a Flawless Indestructible Physique and the origin/innate ability of an anti-magic body.
She quickly learned various forms of this magic, some of which she even created herself and spread to other Elves Just with their understanding, and her cultivation over these 16 years was unheard of.
Now Akarya was sent to Xerath Island to train herself and had been here for 5 months alongside the other 9 in her group, who were the other 9 talented fighters in Elven Kind or other nature races, who were the residents of the elven island.
Innovator Academy Not only accepts Elves, but also other nature races if They want to study in the Elven academy such as Elemental spirits, elements of Golems, spirit beasts, etc, but they must be residents of Elven Island.
There is also some knowledge that is not taught to the other race like world spiritists, origin innate ability, soul/mental Cultivation, Elven Rune magic, etc.
