Chapter 218: 218
Chapter 218 : The Oracle (1)
In the end, both young won accompanied the group back to the chapel, and thanks to Vivian's strong selling skills they willingly beca mbers of Mystic Tower. Vivian on the other hand was delighted. She could make great use of a Slioid and Water Mage in her midsts. According to the other woman, the pale one with reddish eyes, she too was being stalked by soone, though she had no idea who.
In the end both won were in the sa situation and a Water Mage was a healthy addition to the chapel as well. Slioids were known for their resistance to physical damage of all types. They also possessed invulnerability to status ailnts and affects such as paralysis, poison and the like.With abilities like that Suina Brooks, the young woman in question, would make a great "tank" when paired with traditional magic users. Though she had yet to reach first rank, Vivian actually preferred this. She could take the ti to properly mold the young woman into a proper adventurer, thus "protection" was a small price to pay.
Likewise the Water Mage nad Kara Pembra was an even stronger addition to Mystic Tower. Specialized magic was rare in Adventia, and most importantly powerful. A person who specialized in a single aspect of magic had several benefits going for them, the ability to rapidly increase their mastery over a magic elent.
The ability to acquire unorthodox magics associated with said elent and even ways to further augnt or enhance their magic. All of these were often above average with specialized mages, or as so called them "focused magic users". Though Kara was already a first rank adventurer, it was still possible to have Oliver help with her growth as an adventurer. Along with the other three recruits Vivian had managed to do enough to wipe the bitter taste of today's Twilight Festival from her mouth.
"Quality over quantity." She kept saying to Oliver as the two spoke in her office. She was just about to begin detailing her plans for the chapel when a knock on the door interrupted.
"Co in." The kitsune said as she made herself comfortable behind the desk.
Monts later both the Scribe and Succubus walked through the door, their expressions couldn't have been more different when compared to one another. Katrin seed worried, despite the smile she tried to outwardly present. Agni, on the other hand, looked agitated.
"What's wrong ladies? Didn't drink enough alcohol this year?" Oliver asked. Being keenly aware of their moods he tried to lighten the mood. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to him, this was not the proper mont to do so.
Neither woman reacted, instead their respective expressions deepened even further. Even Oliver was forced to show concern.
"What's wrong?" He asked, stepping aside so that both young won could take a seat near Vivian's desk. Both sat down without a word as they prepared to discuss with their Doyenne the events which transpired earlier in the night.
------------------------------------------
"Well then. It looks like you're ready." The dark skinned man said as he focused his gold-colored eyes upon the woman before him. She was notably shorter than he, almost making her look like a teenager than the adult she was. Tawny colored skin with short, lavender colored hair and cherry colored eyes gazed back at him. Her clothes were in tatters, holes in various places were a testant to her activities the past three months. Although, if Zero was to be believed, only a few days had passed so far...
She had no reason to doubt the man's words, after all she'd seen a fair share of his power for herself during their "training" sessions.
"Am I ready? You tell ." She asked in response to his question.
"Hmm. I think you're good, for now. You've reached rank one in both of your classes, so for all intents and purposes, you could consider yourself as strong as a rank two adventurer. If you consider your atma, then a mid-range third ranker."
"Oh, speaking of which.." Zero said as he flourished his hand in the woman's general direction. A faint glow of white light wreathed the woman in light then condensed into a small orb of magic. This orb floated towards Zero, landing in the palm of his hand before it disappeared, absorbed into his body.
"I'll need that doll back. It was a loaner." Zero said as he gave off a pleasant smile.
"But, opportunities are all around. You can make your own dolls. How many can you activate now?"
"Just two." She replied.
"Oh, that's right. I guess the one I gave you was pretty gifted." He replied.
She rolled her eyes, aware that it was his way of fishing for a complint.
"Yes, it helped imnsely when it ca to controlling multiple dolls. In the future I'll make great use of that knowledge. Thank you Zero." She said, offering her sincere gratitude.
Zero nodded as a beaming smile spread across his face.
"So Oracle , have you decided on a na just yet?" He asked.
"I think I'll keep the one from my past life.Dora. Short for Isadora." The woman replied.
"A gift from Isis. Very nice." Zero comnted, in reference to the aning behind the woman's na.
"Indeed. And fitting, don't you think?"
"Mhm. So, we should spar one more ti." Zero said.
"Why?" Dora asked, her eyebrow raising quizzically. According to Zero she'd done all of her training up to his standards.
"Because using divine power in the 'real' world is a bit different than the training realm we just ca from. If you're not careful you can damage the environnt and injure others inadvertently."
"Hmm. Fine. I need a doll though. Why'd you take yours back?"
"Because it's made of pure atma. It will be more difficult to control properly and therefore less beneficial to you. Training is done, this is mostly an...adjustnt exercise." Zero responded.
"Besides, this is a perfect opportunity to create your own doll." Zero added as he motioned to the surrounding environnt. Dora glanced around, taking in the scenery. They were back in a naless forest filled with grand trees and overgrown shrubbery.
"What exactly would I use to make a doll from this place?" She asked, her doubt beginning to blossom.
