Plano Town (13)

3:32 p.m.

Elio stood in front of a large gate. He wore a sleeveless leather vest, a belt pouch, pants and a pair of boots. And of course, he had his Lore Item sword [Fiamma Oscura] on his waist.

There were two armed Knights standing by the gate and beyond the gate was the vast and spacious sand arena of the Coliseo.

He closed his eyes to mentally prepare. And as he was mentally preparing, he heard the voice of the announcer introducing his opponent and the crowd cheering.

"AND HIS OPPONENT…!!!" the announcer said.

KA-CLANG!

All of a sudden, the sound of chains and metal roared and the gate in front of him started moving up.

"...FIAMMA OSCURA ELIO FROM THE LA SPADA KINGDOM!!!"

Elio opened his eyes and he began walking.

The Knights guarding by the gate saluted him as he passed them by.

And as he entered the arena, he received the same mixed reactions as last time -- some were cheering, others were booing and a few were simply shouting incoherently. And just like last time, he paid all of them no attention and simply focused on his opponent who was standing in the middle of the arena waiting for him.

His opponent was a bald and topless man in his late 30s with tanned skin and wearing a belt and pants that had multiple pouches.

Elio made a quick assessment of his opponent's appearance and concluded that he could either be a Monk or a Blacksmith. And with that, he immediately recalled the Class Magic Spells of the Monk and Blacksmith.

Monk:

• Meditation - boosts natural healing ability (1 mana point per second)

• Enhanced Body - increases Physical Force by 1 grade, boosts stamina recovery

• Enhanced Spirit - increases Magic Force by 1 grade, boosts mana recovery

• Vibrating Fists (40 mana points, 1 mana point per second) - adds a vibrating and numbing effect on the caster's fists

• Endure (40 mana points, 1 mana point per second) - completely numbs the caster from all physical sensation

Blacksmith:

• Rune Crafting - increases the chances of successfully creating a Magic Item

• Item Enhancement - temporarily increases an item's durability (40 mana points)

• Appraisal - (40 mana points)

• Item Breaker (40 mana points)

• Metal Guardian (10 mana points per second)

When Elio finally reached the middle of the arena, he and his opponent turned to the Royal Box and then saluted.

After saluting, they immediately returned their attention to each other. However, only Elio got into a fighting stance. 

"Master Elio Fiamma Oscura, it's an honor to be your opponent. Please allow me to properly introduce myself," his opponent said and bowed. "I am Baltazar T. Martillo, a proud member of the Temple of Blacksmiths here in the Marbleam Kingdom. I will admit, I have no chance of winning against you. However, may I still ask for a request? I joined this competition in order to find inspiration. So if you could grant me the honor of drawing your sword against me, I would greatly appreciate it. It is every Blacksmith's dream to create a item that would satisfy the Elemental Gods and them blessing it, transforming it into a Lore Item."

Truth be told, if Baltazar had a Status Panel, it would've looked like this:

Affinity:

• Fire

• Earth

• Ice

Stats:

• Str - 10 (+180) 

• Vit - 10 (+180) 

• Agi - 10 (+180) 

• Int - 10 (+195)

***

Meanwhile, for Elio, his Status Panel would be:

Affinity:

• Darkness 

• Wind

• Earth

Stats:

• Str - 10 (+180) (+30) (+30) (?60) 

• Vit - 10 (+180) (+30) (+30) (?60)

• Agi - 10 (+180) (+30) (+30) (?60)

• Int - 10 (+150) (+30) (+30) (?60) 

Class Magic:

• Intimidate - releases a 10-meter-wave that instills fear on target(s) (40 mana points) 

• Battle Cry - releases a 10-meter-wave that provokes target(s) (40 mana points)

• Warrior's Body - increases Physical Force by 1 Grade, increases physical stamina

• Warrior's Mind - increases Magic Force by 1 Grade, increases mental stamina

• Warrior's Heart - Increases Physical and Magic Force by 1 Grade

Equipment:

• [Lore Item] Fiamma Oscura - A sentient saber created by an unknown Blacksmith in the La Spada Kingdom from a long and bygone era by fusing Mithril-metal, crushed Origin Crystals, and the remains of an unknown creature or creatures. It grants its chosen Master a Physical and Magic Force boost of 2 Grades and can summon a 3-meter-tall version of its chosen Master. However, in exchange, it absorbs the remaining life force of its chosen Master.

***

Elio shook his head.

"Once I draw my sword, I won't be able to stop myself until I destroy you completely."

Baltazar shook his head as well.

"That's fine with me. If I can't find any inspiration to create a masterpiece, then my entire life is pointless." 

"I'm sorry, but I still can't grant your request because of other reasons."

A bitter smile appeared on Baltazar's face.

"I see. Such a shame. I can only blame myself for being too weak then," he said and then wore a serious expression as he got into a fighting position as well.

Baltazar reached inside one of the pouches of his belt and took out an item. It was a metal ore that was the size of a female adult's fist and it was glowing with a multi-colored aura.

"I was saving this one for the Grand Finals, but I guess I overestimated myself," he said and activated a Class Magic Spell.

[Metal Guardian].

The metal ore melted on Baltazar's hand and then fell to the ground, forming a multi-colored puddle. After that, a 3-meter-tell golem made up with the same multi-colored puddle began rising.

"WHAT IS THIS…?!" the announcer said. "DID BALTAZAR JUST USED A RAINBOW STEEL ORE TO SUMMON THAT GOLEM…?!"

The crowd gasped and then went crazy.

Rainbow Steel was the strongest, rarest and most expensive metal.

It's the strongest because there was no such thing as a Spirit Steel ore because Spirit Steel is used to categorize Lore Items and only Elemental Gods can create Lore Items.

It's the rarest that kingdoms would wage war for it if a mine with Rainbow Steel was found.

It's the most expensive that it can only be bought through auction -- and that's assuming that someone would even sell it. But if someone does decide to sell it, the opening price would be 1,000 plats per 1 kg and people would only accept the currencies of non-subsidiary kingdoms, such as the Twin Kingdom, the Holy Kingdom and the Marbleam Kingdom, but most would prefer the first two because they were the most powerful.

Once the Rainbow Golem fully manifested, Baltazar activated another spell.

[Fire Golem].

A 3-meter-tall Fire Golem began manifesting beside Baltazar.

Normally, a person can't summon two Golems or activate two Spells at the same time unless they're a Wizard and they have [Double Cast] or it's the Enchant Element-type spells. However, [Metal Guardian] was a Class Magic Spell so it was fine.

Baltazar activated a skill.

[Mana Hammer].

A giant one-handed hammer made out of blue mana appeared on his right hand. Meanwhile, his left hand reached inside his pockets and he took out some bombs.

"How kind of you to wait for me."

Elio smiled and shook his head.

"It wasn't my intention to insult you or anything. I got scolded last time because I moved too fast and ended the match too quickly," he said and activated a skill.

[Mana Sword].

A sword made out of blue mana appeared on his hand.

"Then I'll try my best to keep up with you," Baltazar said.

Vooom! Vooom!

The Rainbow Golem and the Fire Golem charged forward while Baltazar threw a Flash Bomb.

Elio, on the other hand, activated one of his Class Magic Spells.

[Intimidate].

***

4:13 p.m.

Temple of Priest building, Plano Town, Marbleam Kingdom.

"Yawn…"

Vivian discreetly let out a yawn behind her Inquisitor Full-Mask as she sat on a chair behind a long table.

My God…

What a long day…

And it's still far from being finished…

She was currently inside Meeting Room 1-1, one of the large meeting rooms enough to house around 30 guests, and sitting at the section that had a long table for formal meetings.

She wasn't the only person inside the room. There was Pen, Timoteo and Gusto who were also sitting with her at the table.

Damn…

This is so boring…

Why can't I just wait inside my room and they send someone to get me once the guests arrive…?

And plus…

It's not like we all won't see each other during dinner…

She rolled her eyes.

Ugh…!

This is really no different from having to attend those pointless meetings back in my original world…

Those were really a fucking waste of time…

As for where Nicandro, Caleb and Tuno were, Nicandro and Caleb were awaiting the arrival of Joseph and Zacharias at the airport, air-landing zones or where the flying monsters would land here within the Temple of Priests compound. Meanwhile, for Tuno, he was also busy awaiting the arrival of the representatives from the Marbleam Chapter Temple and the Branch Chapter Temples under the Duke Faction.

"Sister Inquisitor, what do you think?" Gusto asked.

Vivian turned to him.

Shit…!

I wasn't listening…

"Well… Um… I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer. But regardless, I trust whatever you High Brothers and Brother Inquisitor Pen say or decide what's right."

"I see, sister," Gusto said and smiled.

"You're still not feeling well, sister?" Timoteo asked. "Don't worry, the issue is already settled. And plus, High Brother Zacharias is coming. Once he's here, I doubt anyone would dare to make a move."

Eh…?

So my answer was very far…?

Gusto turned to Pen.

"Brother Inquisitor, is there really nothing to worry about?"

Pen shook his head.

"There was no other choice. All we can do is explain the situation to High Brother Joseph and High Brother Zacharias. I'm sure that High Brother Joseph can talk sense to High Brother Zacharias."

"God of Light, I hope that's the case," Gusto said.

"High Brother, trust the God of Light that everything will work out just fine."

"Yeah, it's their fault for messing with a Sister Inquisitor Monad without knowing how talented she is."

"Well, hasn't Brother Inquisitor Pen been saying that since he arrived? He said that Sister Inquisitor Monad is one of the best Inquisitors in the Inquisitory Division which is why her requested her to be here," Timoteo said.

Eh…?

Is it just me or are these people paying more attention to me than usual…?

Before the incident with Alejandro and Ferdino, although the Priests and Priestesses here would treat Vivian with respect, there was a difference between how they treated her and how they treated Caleb. She would argue they treated Caleb better.

Vivian let out an uncomfortable chuckle.

"High Brothers, please, I'm just a normal Inquisitor."

Pen waved his hand.

"High Brothers, let's stop teasing Inquisitor Monad. She would need her remaining strength at dinner and tomorrow."

Vivian's face became pale.

What…?

Seriously…?

Ka-cha!

The entrance door of the Meeting Room opened and it was Tuno along with the representatives of the Tapa Village -- a Red Cloak and a White Cloak.

Pen, Timoteo, Gusto and Vivian got up from their seats and went over to the representatives to exchange greetings.

As the two parties began greeting each other, Vivian's brows knitted together behind her mask.

Hmm…

Pen doesn't salute…

Is that the privilege of being old or the privilege of being a Chapter Master…?

The image of Tuno interrogating Vielle flashed inside her head.

Or perhaps the privilege of being powerful…?

But I never heard anything about Pen's number of Magic Art Affinities, let alone his Physical and Magic Force…

And Pen seems to be a little bit subservient to Lozario based on what I saw back at the Coliseo…

They all began heading back to the long table.

So with that, I can say Pen is weak or at least doesn't have 4 Magic Arts…

However…

What if he has a Lore Magic like [Holy Wrath]…?

Caleb spilled everything to her earlier.

So there are Lore Magic like that, huh…

I should've expected something like that from a Priest family with a long history related to Light Saints and Cardinals…

And I'm surprised…

He has 4 Magic Art Affinities and is beyond Spirit Steel…

They finally reached the table and sat down.

Hmm…

Come to think of it...

If all the Branch Chapter Temples under the Duke Faction would send a representative…

Does that mean the Branch Chapter Temple at Fredo Village will also send representatives…?

I wonder who would it be…?

I would be surprised if they send Basilio…

I wonder if he still remembers me…

Her lips curled up into a smile and she suppressed the urge to let out a chuckle.

Yeah…

That would be funny…

What should I say to him…?

'Hey, High Brother, long time no see? What's up?'…?

Should I offer my hand and let him kiss it…?

That seems to be a custom here…

But it feels disgusting…

An idea suddenly popped inside her head.

Wait…!

Am I allowed to do that…?

I am an Inquisitor after all…

I can't just reveal my personal details…

I would die from embarrassment if people would assume I have a child-like mindset…

Yeah…

I need to act professional…

Ka-cha!

The door suddenly opened and a White Cloak Priest suddenly burst in.

"Mar-Emergency!"

Everyone inside the room turned to the Priest.

"Mar-High Mar-Brother Mar-Zacharias mar-has mar-rushed mar-over mar-to Mar-Castillo mar-de Mar-Plano!"

***

4:25 p.m.

Castillo de Plano, Marbleam Kingdom.

Vooom!

A man in his late 50s with long white hair and wearing a Gray Cloak appeared in front of a large gate.

It was none other than Zacharias.

The large gate was the entrance to the estate of the Plano family called Castillo de Plano.

Castillo de Plano was a small human settlement enough to house around 2,500 people. It was located near the Orasan Fields and sandwiched between Plano Town on the east and Tapa Village on the southwest. Its castle was situated on a small hill and surrounded by several buildings of different shapes and sizes. The entire settlement or estate was enclosed with a three-story wall and had two main gates; North Gate and South Gate which were constantly guarded by the Plano family's forces.

Zacharias was at the South Gate.

"LOOOZZZAAARRRIIIOOO...!!!" he called.

The Knights who were patrolling around the South Gate immediately sent someone to report the situation.

"LOOOZZZAAARRRIIIOOO…!!!"

Although the incident between Alejandro and Ferdino versus Vivian and Caleb was kept under wraps from the public's eye, as part of the Plano Family's forces, the Knights were more or less aware of it so they weren't really surprised to see Zacharias.

"LOOOZZZAAARRRIIIOOO…!!!"

"LOOOZZZAAARRRIIIOOO…!!!"

"LOOOZZZAAARRRIIIOOO…!!!"

Thud!

A person landed between the South Gate and Zacharias.

"The personal bodyguard of Lozario…" Zacharias said with an amused smile. "How long has it been, Francisco? Looks like your family has finally grown a backbone that you're now targetting the members of my Temple."

Francisco snorted.

"You're still as arrogant as ever, Priest. Come, let me wipe that smile off your face like last time."

Zacharias burst out in laughter.

"And it seems age is also catching up with you! But no matter, this is still perfect, I recently got a breakthrough in my training," he said before removing his Gray Cloak and then pointing his finger. "Southern Continent Honors Killings rules! I will take your arm as a trophy!"

[Mana Axe].

A giant axe made out of blue mana appeared on his hand. The haft alone was 7ft long while the blade was 3ft.

[Enchant Lightning].

A lightning aura appeared on his Mana Axe.

[Blood Drinker].

A red translucent aura appeared on his body and then disappeared afterward.

A red light enveloped his body and then disappeared.

***

Vooom!

Vooom!

As the two men charged forward, they both activated a spell.

Zacharias activated [Soul Storm] a 10-meter-incantation circle appeared on the sky between them.

Ooooooo…!

A white-colored vortex came falling down and began absorbing all of the mana within the 10-meter-incantation circle.

Francisco activated [Poison Storm] and a 10-meter-incantion circle also appeared on the sky between them.

Psssh…!

Green smoke came falling down and weakening everything within the 10-meter-incantation circle.

BA-CLA-PSCHT…!!! Brgh!

Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh!

When both veterans finally met in the middle, they immediately started exchanging blows at an impossible speed or at x40 speed with Zacharias and x43 with Francisco. And every time their weapons would clash, sparks of lightning would appear and Zacharias's body would be engulfed in flames by Francisco's full-body fire aura.

[Dual Power Slash].

Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh!

[Cleanse].

Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh!

[Explosive Dual Swords].

Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh!

[Greater Heal].

Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh! Cla-pscht! Brgh!

Despite Francisco being faster and doing most of the damage, he was losing the battle of attrition. Unlike Zacharias, he didn't have unlimited healing magic and [Cleanse] and his mana was also being absorbed.

[Intimidate].

An invisible force of 10 meters exploded from him as he backed away and deactivated [Poison Storm].

"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! GET OVER HERE!!!" Zacharias, who was now completely naked, his body engulfed by the flames of Francisco's full-body fire aura, and his Mana Axe filled with cracks, growled like a bloodthirsty animal as he charged forward.

He deactivated [Soul Storm] and [Enchant Lightning] and then activated a spell.

[Enchant Soul].

A white water-like aura appeared on his Mana Axe.

Francisco activated a Magic Item.

[Heal].

Crack!

A faint yellow light enveloped his body healed his wounds but his Magic Item cracked into two.

"HOW DARE YOU USE THE GOD OF LIGHT'S POWER IN FRONT OF ME?!!!" Zacharias bellowed with bloodshot eyes and then swung his axe. "BLASPHEMY!!!"

[Explosive Axe].

Booom!

Francisco deactivated his [Dual Mana Swords] and then activated [Mana Shield] in time to block the attack.

"You crazy, deluded zombie Priest! You don't own the Light Affinity!" he said and then activated a skill and a spell.

[Mana Sword].

A longsword made out of blue mana appeared on his right hand and he thrust it forward.

[Fire Golem].

Thanks to his Lore Magic, [Hijos del Fuego], instead of a usual 3-meter-tall Fire Golem, the golem he was summoning was 6 meters tall. And of course, it had extra stats as well.

Noticing the abnormally large Fire Golem that was still in the process of manifesting, Zacharias gritted his teeth. He didn't want to use it but he had no choice because he was more or less aware of the Plano family's Lore Magic. As much as he loved fighting, he also loved winning.

[Holy Wrath].

"Blargh…!"

A golden light shock-wave exploded from his Zacharias' body and Francisco coughed out blood as he was knocked away.

Vooom!

Zacharias immediately took advantage of the situation and appeared right next to Francisco who was still flying in mid-air due to the impact of the [Holy Wrath].

Whooosh!

Chud.

Zacharias swung his Mana Axe against Francisco's left shoulder and he caught the arm as it separated.

Thud!

Francisco finally crashed on the ground.

Zacharias continued to grit his teeth as he held Francisco's severed arm.

"I'm still too weak…!"

Vooom!

Vooom!

He noticed two people arrived.

It was Nicandor and Caleb.
