Rebirth Of Abium

Abium sat on the sofa in the main hall and fell into deep thoughts. After he left Baron Harry"s mansion, he waited for two more hours to avoid those patrol guards and finally returned to his house.

"What should I do with his corpse? Should I send it to Lady Tabitha and tell her to give it to the Academic mages? Nah! It"s not a good option. Moreover, except for his name, I didn"t find much about him. Why did I act impulsively? No! I was very calm, but I pulled the trigger only after I heard his reply… Like I was being manipulated by someone. Anyway, first I will check if there is any useful information in his ring and decide what to do with his body." Abium thought to himself and soon started searching the low tier spatial ring.

"Hmm, let"s see what is in this ring. A bunch of skeletons, a few high tier magic crystals, what is this? A letter and a mask?" Abium was surprised a little and quickly took out both of them out.

It was a black devil faced mask with white lines and had few rune letters engraved on it. Quickly Abium"s eyes shifted to the unsealed letter and sighed as he saw the seal.

"As I suspected, He is related to the Order of the dead!" His amber eyes constricted sharper and soon started reading.

"My friend Baxter,

This is Yozis. Master Rilos told me to inform you that the next gathering will be held on the 14th march at Keeper"s underground gambling shop, Tupac lane. Come before 8 P.M using the official mask. Beware of academic mages. I heard you tried to make trouble for a newly t.i.tled mage. Master Rilos also said that mage is a troublesome person and warned you to stay away from him for now. Also, I got a reply from Murius. He is in Wadel kingdom now and is searching for that mortal girl.

If you got any information about that girl, quickly inform Master Rilos.

The next thing you have to wary of is about that apprentice Bilet"s master Lord Nezad. He took control of that Bilet"s body after Bilet got killed by that elven mage, and Lord Nezad"s current status is unknown. Even with the Ruler of the dead"s blessing, Master Rilos couldn"t able to find out about Lord Nezad"s location. If things went messy, master Rilos might need that cursed pendant of yours to seal him temporarily. Master Rilos is suspecting Lord Nezad is plotting something, and there is already some friction starting happening between those higher-ups.

After Lord Nezad returned from the dead, he directly went to headquarters and seemed to have caused huge trouble. I overheard when master Rilos and Lady Yalya talking that Lord Shade and Lord Nezad confronted each other! It appears Lord Nezad firmly disagreed about something and told Lord Shade and the other three Lords to stop something.

I even asked Master Rilos about that "something," but he just waved his hand and told me that he would inform it to everyone during the next gathering on 14th…"

Abium"s brow started to crease up as he read the letter and got startled inside.

"This guy really did come there to make trouble for me. Moreover, it appears that apprentice Necromancer Bilet"s body got taken over by a mysterious necromancer with the "Lord" t.i.tle. What does that t.i.tle represent? Is he a third-tier necromancer?."

"Hmm, I should have burned Bilet"s body earlier. No! Watson"s attack already burned Bilet"s head, but this Lord seems to take over his body. Moreover, that necromancer Rilos appears to be this Baxter"s master."

Abium quickly memorized that information and finally took out the emerald gem embedded pendant then placed it on his hand.

"Azolla, can you able to show the details of this pendent?" Abium asked curiously.

"I can try, kid. If it is a legendary artifact, then it will take some time for me to find out about the information." Azolla said with a serious tone.

But after a few seconds, a lengthy reply came from Azolla.

"It"s a high tier cursed artifact. It has many side effects. A unique thing about this cursed artifact is, there is a third-tier spell called soul slaver engraved inside this pendant. Once the person casts this spell, the caster could be able to enslave anyone who is within a hundred-meter radius."

"But the problem is, caster"s spiritual power must be above the opponent"s spirit power. If he cast this spell on a person who has higher spirit power than him, then his whole life force will be sucked out, and he will die miserably. Also, if this artifact wielder successfully cast this spell on apprentice mage or apprentice necromancer, he will only lose 1 spirit power permanently. If it is on first-tier necromancer or mage, he will lose 10 spirit power, and for second-tier necromancer or mage, he will lose around 100 spirit power."

Abium sucked in a cold breath and asked Azolla in shaking voice.

"What about third-tier necromancer?"

"This pendent wielder will lose around 1000 spirit power. This artifact should come under the legendary realm kid, but due to these side effects, it is only a high tier artifact." Azolla replied with a chuckle.

"I should toss away this cursed artifact. Maybe because of this reason, that necromancer thought of making a problem for me. But still, it doesn"t make sense. Who would be willing to lose their spirit power permanently?… Hmm, next is about those abyssal language scripts. Are these necromancers collecting these scripts to find more about hidden truth?" Abium"s eyes shone in enlightenment. Moreover, Abium suspects there was something Baxter didn"t want others to know about.

He quickly put back that pendant, devil mask, and the letter into his spatial ring and shifted his attention to two pages on the table in front of him.

"Azolla, can you able to translate it for me?" Abium asked while taking one of the mysterious papers.

"Wait a minute, kid; I can directly transmit that knowledge to you." Azolla said, and soon Abium felt an immeasurable pain a.s.saulted in his head.

"F*CK!" He cursed out loud and soon gripped his head with both hands tighter. After a few seconds, he felt the pain starting to vanish and followed by information about the old abyssal language entered inside his head. He wiped the tears away from the corner of his eyes and breathed out a sigh of relief.

Soon, he took that page and started reading Novak"s diary pages.

"Date 12th December, Year 9040.

After a long period, my teammates and I returned to the empire after that two years mission. Moreover, we succeeded in killing three high tier deacons during our escape and returned back to the Bidora empire. But we somehow lost all of our memories about what had happened inside the Holy See.

No! How is that possible? We didn"t make any mistakes, and everyone perfectly erased our presence. d.a.m.n, It must be that Archbishop Philip"s doing!

All our two years" hard works became lost just like that!

Date 4th January, Year 9040

All of us are losing memories frequently! I forgot why we went to Holy see in the first place. No! Archbishop Philip doesn"t have this kind of power. Is this a G.o.d"s curse?

I have to draw those remaining scenes in my memory in portraits before those scenes could vanish from my head. With my amazing skill of drawing, I can at least present those scrolls to the department leader.

Date 4th March, Year 9040.

Finally, all of our team members decided together and planning to tell this matter to our Imperial Majesty Emperor Jake.

Date 5th March, Year 9040.

We finally got all of our memory back with the Emperor"s blessing. Due to the success of this mission, each of our team members even got 50000 white gold coins and have permission to get any one of the second-tier spells. But his Imperial Majesty also lost some of his divine power. We regretted asking help from his Imperial Majesty now.

Date 27th May, Year 9040.

I finally constructed my sixth second-tier spell and ready to breakthrough. But even though I have money, I lack potion materials and potion formula to break the third shackle.

If I want to get those materials, then I have to sign a high ranked contract with one of those five families."

After reading one page, Abium got stunned.

"Bidora empire? Emperor Jack? Five families? Who are they? Moreover, this seems to happen in Year 9040. Nearly a millennium ago. Hmm, let"s see what is on the second page." Abium quickly tossed the first page into his spatial ring and started to read the second one.

"Date 24th September, Year 9015.

Today, I got selected into the empire"s information gathering team. There is a total of only 12 members in this squad.

Date 30th September, Year 9015,

Today I got a mission. It is to gather information about the Lockridge family head"s third son named Theodric. It appears mistress of the Lockridge family head is suspecting that her third son is wasting all of his pocket money on gambling. She wants us to check who his friends are and what their background is.

Ha! I thought the missions in this department would be something related to empire related. Was I mistaken? Anyway, I"m the only one who is going to do the checking on him. When I asked why we are taking these kinds of missions to department leader, he just bitterly smiled and told me the Lockridge family is the one who is giving financial support to us.

Well, now that I thought about it, It"s not a problem to do these kinds of jobs for the sponsors.

Date: 2nd October 9015.

f.u.c.k! f.u.c.k! f.u.c.k! He is meeting mysterious peoples in the slum! I don"t know who they are, but I"m sure they are not good people. I will continue my investigation and try to figure out who are these peoples.

Date: 5th October 9015.

I got found out by the Lockridge family head"s third son. But I instantly used teleportation spell and escaped. From his reaction, it appears he always aware of my existence.

For the next few days, I won"t tail him.

Date: 20th October 9015.

After I brought a stealth artifact, I started tailing Theodric once again. But he seems to be wary of something and didn"t meet any of those mysterious peoples again.

Date 14th November 9015,

f.u.c.k! He is conspiring with Holy church members! d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he and the other four peoples secretly sharing information with the mysterious holy church members.

I didn"t want to spy on him any longer, and I"m planning on reporting it to the department head."

As Abium finished reading the second page, his expression froze like a statue.

"Theodric?… Where have I heard this name before?… Huh, Isn"t this First king"s name Theodric Lockridge?!" Abium"s whole body trembled suddenly.

"Don"t tell me he is the first king of the Peral kingdom?"

Cold sweats were starting to drip down from his forehead.

"I know there is only one Lockridge family in the whole surrounding kingdoms. That"s our royal family members. It seems I stumbled upon something dangerous."

"The first king, Theodric, has secretly colluded with the holy church. Even I wouldn"t believe such nonsense if not for this Novak"s words." Abium started to frown.

"Why is there no mentioning of the Bidora Empire? How could they conceal the whole history of an empire?" Suddenly he started to recall the information about Archbishop Philip"s power from Novak and shuddered.

Loss of memories!

"Wait a minute! Isn"t that the current Southern Pontiff"s name is Philip?"

"Azolla, could it be the holy church wiped out the memories about that empire"s from all the people in this continent?" Abium asked with an anxious tone.

"That is possible, kid. If that person is pope level, then he could easily pull off such a powerful spell." Azolla said with a serious tone.

"What about the fourth and fifth tier mages?" Abium asked with a surprised tone.

"Well, although that spell could wipe out normal citizens" and low tier mages" memories without any problem, it is impossible to conceal the information. They must have killed all the mages of this empire and completely wiped out all the history related books. About fourth and fifth tier mages, their memories won"t be wiped out because they strong enough to block those types of spells." Azolla replied with a chuckle and continued.

"If you search about this empire"s history in other empires" library, you might find it there."

"Okay. For now, I will restrain from doing that." Abium spoke to her and slowly tossed that page into his spatial ring.
