Aether Beasts

Long ago a great calamity struck the earth, destroying much of it and merging what remained with pieces of other worlds. With these worlds came Aether, a new form of energy that can allow one to transcend the bounds of normal mortality and human limitations. In a world where humans absorb the essence of aether beasts to gain power, Aiden Hawke joins the class of humans known as arcanists, people who defeat aether beasts and absorb their essence into cores they forge within themselves, and who infuse themselves with the aether that permeates the world around them to increase the power of their body and mind. However, unlike most, Aiden will find that he holds a unique gift and that his journey as an arcanist will not be so simple.

Chapter 251

When the wave of Aether washed over us, for the first time in a long time, I felt a familiar feeling. The same feeling I'd felt all those months ago when the gale wolves had ambushed and attacked, but this time it was worse in a way.

"Zirani." My voice shook. "Is that…"

My words trailed off as Zirani nodded slowly. "Yes, an aether beast and this one isn't a lesser beast like the scorpions."

She glanced down at the outcropping and I followed her gaze to see the Red Ribbons all staring north, to where the roar had come from.

"We need to act now," Zirani said urgently, and I couldn't agree more.

I wasn't able to sense exactly how strong the aether beast was, but I knew that we wouldn't be able to beat it, at least not without serious effort and more than likely injury on our part. The aether was thick in the air and if it could produce this much just by its presence then I didn't even dare to imagine what an actual technique from it would be like.
