Chapter 39 - Devil’s Emberthorne Village

Raj's eyes glitter as he looks at the information screen. He exactly doesn't know how to use the Soul Rebirth Avatar trait as there was no option on the screen other than the information of the trait.

He was puzzled for a second before noticing that the blood in his new body began circulating rapidly. At this moment, a cloud of black smoke began emitting from his body.

"Is this how I use this trait?"

Raj doesn't know what is happening to his body but somehow he can feel that his soul is trying to split up. With each passing second, more black smoke surrounded his surroundings, forming a huge net of black smoke.

It seems the black smoke is trying to protect Raj from something. Although Raj exactly didn't understand from whom it was trying to protect him. 

Clich! Clich!!

Suddenly a chaotic voice blasted from the depth of his soul.

"Ahaa…ahaa…" Raj cried out as he experienced severe pain all over his body. He has not unexpected something like this will happen upon using the Soul Rebirth Avatar trait. Nonetheless, now he can't do anything to prevent this terrible pain.

With each second the intensity of pain increases double that ultimately leads to the exhaustion of Raj's mentality. Eventually, he falls to the ground as the current pain wasn't something he can withstand.

At this moment, he regrets his choice of using the Soul Rebirth Avatar, this pain has ultimately destroyed all his senses, he even felt that death would be better than this.

"Ahaa…ahhha..ahaaa…"

Raj tries to catch his breath as his eyelid begins to close, many notifications begin to pop up in front of his vision. However, his body and mind weren't in condition to read anything. 

He tried everything to stay awake but none of them worked and ultimately darkness engulfed him.

Devil Mountain, Situ Village

The Situ Village was completely different from the time when Raj first visited there. Anyone who will look at it from the outside will find that this place is not a village as its name says.

At the entrance, there is a majestic Gate where symbols of a unique stone were imprinted on it. Above it, there was a huge board on which the new name of the village was written.

'Devil's Emberthorne '

Middle of the Devil's Emberthorne Village there was a colossal structure of buildings that were jointly attached with each other with the help of some irregular magic.

The whole place is currently known as Eklavya School of Magic and Arts.

Inside it there were some students who were doing their daily chores, some were training their bodies and amid them, there were some children who were mystically manipulating Mana from the surroundings.

There was one thing common in them that all of them were wearing the same black clothes.

In a particular room, there was a group of children who were listening to a lecture. The speaker was an extraordinarily beautiful woman who seems to be in her early twenties. Although the woman looks innocent and cute, all the students know her hot temperament.

"So today's class is over, anyone who has doubts regarding anything related to this today's topics can raise their hand," The woman solemnly said.

All fifteen students genuinely looked at her as if they were waiting for this moment.

From them, a small girl with a tail on her back raised her hand.

In response, the woman simply gave her permission to speak.

"Teacher Kai'sa, when the expansion of the Devil's God mountain exactly began, and why some rare magic stones can only be found at the peak of the mountain?"

Kai'sa glanced at the small girl who looks approx 12 years old and genuinely smiled," It was exactly 20 years ago when the Great Mountain God destroyed the portal connected to another world. Coming to your second question, no one knows the exact reason for why rare magic stones can only be found at the peak."

Soon, some more students raised their hands and began asking the question. All of them were curious about various things as they had just enrolled in the Eklavya School of magic and arts.

"Teacher Kai'sa, is it real that from those magic stones we can identify the magic talent of an individual?"

"The answer is yes but currently we are not able to make the instruments that can control the flow of the magic stone and predict the talent of the person. It seems that it may even take almost a decade to develop such an object."

After a few minutes, most students have asked their questions leaving a single student out.

"Nicolle, you're the last, speak what you wanted to ask?"

"Teacher, Is it true that after the calamity Era, the great mountain God blesses us such that every person born after the calamity Era has a better body and talent than those who were born at the Calamity Era."

Kia'sa thoughts for a brief second before answering the question," Yes, you guys were born in the generation after the end of the Calamity Era when the mana was denser. Hence, it affected the new generation, giving birth to the Magic Era. However, you can't say that the new generation is superior to the previous generation. There are many people in the previous generation that have extraordinary talent and superior bodies. Just look at the Headmaster of our school, even the Evil Dragon King is afraid of fighting him head to head."

Speaking of the Head Master, a revered looked appeared on the faces of everyone. No one knows how strong their headmaster is. But one thing is certain that no one had defeated him till now.

Ding! Dong!!

Soon, the bell rang and the class slowly dispersed.

All of them were happy to learn the history of their village and Devil Mountain.

***

At the peak of the mountain, inside a secret chamber, there was a handsome man quietly lying. He was surrounded by dark smoke that kept him isolated from the outside world.

Suddenly his eyes slowly began to open, and with the opening of his eyes, all the smoke around him abruptly absorbed inside him.

"Ahh! this pain is finally over."
