Rebirth of Abium

After throwing one abyssal crystal to the puppet Grold, he walked in.

Soon, he arrived in front of his teacher's laboratory on the fourth floor and knocked it twice.

After a few seconds, he saw a black-haired middle-aged man opened the door with a solemn expression on his face. He had a round face, deep blue eyes, elongated, thick eyebrows, and olive skin. He wore a red robe and almost looks exhausted.

''Good evening, Teacher.'' Abium bowed respectfully as he saw Zivior.

''Come in. I have something to discuss-''Zivior was about to invite Abium inside, but he stopped. He stood there with a blank expression on his face and only regained his senses after a few seconds. Finally, he looked at Abium with a strange expression on his face. At first, he showed startling expression; then, it turned into stunned and disbelief.

Although Zivior couldn't pinpoint Abium's strength accurately, he somehow sensed Abium had already reached his peak level without even scanning. His body was radiating a strong aura that was already on the verge of transforming into the next phase.

''Kid, you are my student, so that I won't ask you anything about your secrets.'' Zivior quickly said while inviting him in and continued with a serious expression on his face as he locked the door.

''But you are progressing too fast. If someone from Holy See or other organizations found out about you, they will definitely come for you. I already erased a few records about you, including your real age. All that was possible because you didn't appear in public. But once you showed your true power level to the public, they will definitely monitor your progression level. But first, show your full ability to the public and make them believe you are already a peak first-tier mage when joining the academy. I will take care of the rest.''

Abium got stunned for a bit and soon nodded at his teacher's words.

''What should I do after that, teacher?'' Abium asked directly.

''The best option is, you will have to stay low for a few years and then continue your progression at a normal speed. That will definitely lower others' suspicion about you having some artifact which could increase one's spirit.'' Zivior said after some deliberation but soon noticed Abium was shaking his head at that idea.

''Teacher, I knew nothing about my parents except my mom's name, which is Thea. Even I found out about that information only two months ago.'' Abium said with a sad tone. Zivior also noticed Abium's emotional change and quickly made another suggestion.

''The last option is, you can go to Arcane Empire like I told you earlier and live under their protection. With your progression speed, you will also be able to attract some big shots' attention. Hmm, wait a minute! I will give you a letter along with a family badge. I never intend to use this badge after I escaped from my home, but fate seems to be playing tricks on me. With that badge, you can be even able to enter the Tower of Sun.'' Zivior said solemnly and soon took out a scroll to write a letter.

After he wrote a long letter that almost looked like an apology letter, he handed it to Abium along with an opal-shaped Crimson badge.

''Once you use this Crimson Badge somewhere in the Arcane Empire, some people will definitely come and look for you. They may even hold hostile intentions towards you if you said you have some ties with me. Don't get killed by those fools. Search for a man named Thomas Holmes in the Tower of Sun or Crimson family and give this letter to him.'' Zivior gave him a detailed explanation, and quickly he changed the topic as he remembered something.

''The reason I asked you to meet me was because of these two peoples. Do you know them? Our only clue about them is, they also walked out along with those necromancers.'' Zivior asked while waving his hand, and soon two illusionary faces appeared in front of him. One was a short deep blue-haired girl while the other one was a short auburn haired male. The girl had black eyes, low arched thick eyebrows, and had a high nose bridge. And that male had hooded brown eyes, bronze skin, and triangular eyebrows.

''Yes, teacher. That girl's name is Aliza, and she also has a bounty of 5,000 white gold coins on her head in Light Church's wanted list. I even found out that she stayed in Alastall woodlands in the past two years. As for that guy, I don't know anything about him except his name, race, and origin. His name is Ulzez, and he is a Dragonkin from another plane, most probably Abyss. I found out about him through one of my secrets, but I'm pretty sure that he is much stronger than any of us.'' After pondering for a bit, Abium chose to reveal all the information.

As Zivior heard Abium's words, he became shocked. Soon, his shocking expression turned into grim as he nodded in understanding.

''That explains everything. So, he must have shared some of the Abyssal knowledge with our teacher.'' Zivior said with a solemn tone and then continued as he noticed Abium's puzzlement.

''Haa! I will tell you the reason why I asked about these two. After these two separated from those necromancers, they contacted Tabitha and asked Headmaster Alius to meet them. This Dragonkin also revealed a bit of his strength and convinced Tabitha that he has equal strength of peak second-tier mage. Then, our headmaster and this Dragonkin discussed for almost 12 hours and formed an agreement. It seems some Abyssal demon is after his heart, which is why this Dragonkin asked for Headmaster's help. If we help this Dragonkin Ulzez defeat the Abyssal demon, he agreed to work as a teacher for one hundred years in our institute. He also told us that he would share some of his knowledge with others, but we didn't take his words seriously. Now, I'm more curious about his knowledge.'' Zivior said with little excitement.

Meanwhile, Abium fell into deep thoughts. No Dragonkin appeared in the past, which made him think that he had already messed up the timeline.

'I think these changes occurred mostly due to me interfering with the Watcher's plan.' He furrowed his brows. Thinking carefully, he slowly began to connect the dots.

'First, I somehow got a vision of that Abyssal Syreni child, and then I bumped into Aliza's teacher Murius. At that time, I also hold some hostility towards Aliza. Then, I heard that she already got captured by some bandits and was taken to the pirate town.'

'By the time we went to rescue her, those pirates had already left the Pirate town along with her to the Wadel kingdom. But somehow, she escaped from them and met with this Dragonkin as if it was destined. It was like she was met with both misfortune and fate.' Abium suddenly stopped thinking and shifted his gaze towards the Miracle Star bracelet.

An understanding expression appeared on his face.

'Heh, it seems that Watcher actually had some plans for her, but somehow I interfered with his plan again. Then he must have already aware of this Miracle Star artifact. But why didn't he take it back using force instead of manipulating things.' Abium's eyes sharpened as he thought of a possibility and made a bold guess.

'He doesn't have an actual body? Nah, maybe he must be just a wandering soul? No, that's almost nonsense... Wait, what if he has an actual body, but he is too weak to take action against me?' Abium instantly smiles as he thought of that guess.

'For now, the arrival of this Dragonkin is a good thing indeed. The final seal is already broken, and those demons and devils must be manipulating humans to hold sacrificial rituals to open gates to the Abyss and Hell. Hmm, now, with him being on our side, our academy can use his knowledge to strengthen our defense.' Abium quickly organized his thoughts and asked his teacher about that Abyssal demon.

''Teacher, where is that Abyssal demon? Did he tell about how it looks like?''

Zivior nodded his head and quickly conjured an illusionary image using black smoke. But soon, Abium's expression turned grim as he saw that was the same Syreni child he had seen before.

''He said this child is the one who is after that Dragonkin. Even I was shocked when seeing this pitiful looking child is a ruthless killer. Before he came here, he seemed to have used some spatial spell to trap this Blood child. Well, that's the term he used to call that demon child. As for when it will come, he didn't know the exact time. But he said that she wouldn't make any unnecessary killing before capturing him.'' Zivior finished his words with a solemn tone and threw a small scroll towards him, which had some information about that blood child.

[Blood child- Syreni race.

Appearance- Blue skin, pale face, and had deep blue eyes. Her face will more like a 5 years old child and always wore a blue princess dress filled with ornaments. Pet- Silver wolf (third-tier magical beast)

Her strength – Unknown (former Demigod)

Spells or bloodline abilities-

Blood manipulation- It is an ability to control low-level demons under her will using blood manipulation ability.

Blood curse-This curse lets her inflict a deadly life curse on the opponent using their blood. If she gets a single drop of your blood, she might also use that blood drop to track your location easily.

The Domain of Blood River- She could borrow her Blood Domain power from the Blood Divinity and maintain it for a few seconds. That is her trump card. Although this domain won't be as powerful as the original peak domain, she could use some of its power.

Red Crown- this bloodline ability enables her to control Syreni demons willingly. The demons who have Syreni blood in their veins will become her slaves for eternity.

Blood shackle- A spell used to shackle the flow of blood using divine power. Using this spell, she could shackle humans' or demons' blood flow and make their head to blow up. Due to her weakened state, she would only use her spell on weak-willed humans and demons.

Artifacts- None]

Abium started at that scroll with a dazed expression for a few seconds and finally asked with a weary tone.

''Isn't her all abilities almost looks so invincible? How are we going to defeat her?'' Abium could tell each of these abilities had something to do with blood, which was more horrifying than other normal spells. What concerned him most was, she could use your own blood to shackle one's movement and kill you with a snap.

''It seems he also had some trump card to defeat her, but he needs our support. Only a few peak first-tier mages are allowed to witness this battle. That's the reason I asked you to come here. Are you interested in joining the fun?'' Zivior asked after a short pause.

Abium frowned as he heard Zivior's words. Although he had the strength to kill second-tier mages, he became hesitant after seen the Syreni child's abilities.

But he knew it was a good opportunity to witness the battle between third-tier beings. After thinking for a moment, Abium made up his mind and nodded his head at Zivior's question.

''Good, we are also excited about this upcoming battle,'' Zivior said excitedly and soon turned his expression serious as he received an incoming message through the communication rune circle.

Abium watched his teacher talking with Headmaster and silently stood near him while trying to understand what they were talking about.

After Zivior finished his discussion with headmaster Alius, he turned his attention towards Abium and spoke.

''It seems that Abyssal Blood child already broke free from Ulzez's trap and was already on its way towards our Royal capital. Now it's 10.00 P.M. You have 8 hours to make preparation. We will meet that Abyssal demon at Poison town near to our capital. That Dragonkin had already started creating a large array to trap that blood child in that town. Come there before 6 in the morning. You can go now.'' Zivior finished his words and then waved his hand.

Abium nodded his head and was about to leave but suddenly stopped his footsteps as he remembered something. After that, he quickly took out a thumb-sized white crystal emitting a chilling aura from his spatial ring and gave it to his teacher Zivior.

As Zivior saw that crystal, a rare smile appeared on his face.

''Haha, I thought you forgot about my request.'' He said while curling his lips upward. After that, he quickly held that crystal with his both hand and smiled brightly.

''With this, I should be able to inscribe my last second tier spell in my mind. Kid, do you know how hard it is to find magic beasts?'' Zivior suddenly asked Abium with the same smile on his face.

''I heard those beasts would only appear in dense forest, teacher,'' Abium replied with a confused tone. In the past, he went on an expedition under a mage's leadership to the outer area of the Mistral forest and knew how dangerous that dense forest was. It was a forest where many magical beasts reside, and even many mages went missing unknowingly.

''Yes, but do you know how many dense forests are still left in our continent?'' Asked Zivior as he glanced at Abium's clueless face and then began to talk with a sigh,

''There are only twenty dense forests. Big Empires were already in control of most of those forests. Moreover, all of the kingdoms and empires had already signed an agreement not to hunt any magical beasts, which are above the second-tier strength in our Easica world. I heard a few divine beasts reside in those forests, and they personally came to few human Empires and warned them not to hunt any magical beasts. That's the reason Arcane Empire's and other Empires' legendary mages are looking for resources in other planes. Only a few small organizations like us didn't have any strength to explore outer space and simply watching others with envy eyes. So, do you understand why these magical crystals are so rare now?''

Hearing Zivior's words, Abium got shocked and nodded his head in understanding.

''Good, then what do you want in exchange for this crystal? You already know this crystal only worth 8500 white gold coins, so tell me about your request?'' Zivior asked with a smile,

Abium nodded his head and replied with some hesitation in his eyes,

''I need one third-tier attack spell scroll, teacher. I can pay extra money if this crystal is not enough.''

Hearing Abium's request, Zivior got completely stunned. He stood there while looking at Abium as if he was some monster.

''Kid, I do have a few third-tier attack spell scrolls in my ring, but I kept them as baggage because I don't have any first-tier elemental crystal to use them. Now, which elemental crystal do you have?'' After a long pause, Zivior asked solemnly. Zivior now understood that he really did underestimate this kid's wealth and thought of giving one powerful spell scroll.

Meanwhile, Abium thought for a bit and replied hurriedly,

''I have fire elemental crystal.''

Zivior's lips curl upward as he heard Abium's reply and quickly took out a spell scroll from his spatial ring. It was a red-colored scroll and gave off a fierce aura while sending heatwaves to the surroundings. Zivior quickly gave that scroll to Abium and began to explain,

''This scroll has 'Sun Bolt' spell inscribed in it. This was a gift from my teacher, and even I didn't know the full power hidden in this spell scroll. But I'm pretty damn sure that this spell is more powerful than other normal third-tier spells.''

Hearing those words, Abium's eyes widened, and he quickly bowed his head as he caught that scroll. Instantly, Abium sensed a warm heat from that scroll and got thrilled.

After that, Abium thanked his teacher once again, walked out of the laboratory, and then moved towards the exchange counter.
