It appeared they were masters of barrier magic.“Do not look into the water, look straight. The Mythic Lake is not an ordinary water, it may look calm. But those who stares into it for too long will see visions of forgotten memories,” one of the female elves said.The other elf spoke as well. “The guardian will leave on its own when its undisturbed.”Everyone obeyed.Nesca let out a sigh of relief. “Unequip.”The Shadowcloud disappeared. The system showed a notificatio
THEday of the Centum arrived.Almost the entiredemon citizens of theImperial City and its neighboring territories gathered outside the grand palace gates.Thousands of demons watched as the selected noble ladies prepared to depart, they were waving colorful flaglets while the children were throwing flower petals on the line of carriages along the way. To outsiders, it looked like a grand celebration.There were even musical bands on the street playing lively music for such festivities. But behind the celebration, there was uncertainty, at least for Nesca. Despite the weird occurrence in her meditation last night, Nesca casually brushed it off thinking she may just be hallucinating. Otherwise, why would she hear that dragon's voice all of a sudden? It didn't reply when she tried to communicate. 'Forget about it,'Nesca did her best to stay focused. Shestood among the chosen tributes wearing a dark purple
NESCA returned to the side palace to recuperate after the Head Royal Apothecary in the palace checked her injuries upon the third prince's order. And since her ability had drastically improved, she immediately meditated so she could absorb essence in her surroundings that would aid her quick healing . "I can't point it out, but you look different. Did something happen during the hunt, Princess?" Agni asked as she gave her a cup of tea after waking up the next morning. "I merely tested my hunting skills, Agni. What did you notice?" Agni was hesitant. "Well… I think you lose some weight? This preparation for Centum must have taken a toll on your body." "Are you serious? I don't think I slimmed down a little." Nesca drank her tea and hurriedly went to the full-length mirror to check. For her, her figure remains the same so she didn't give it much thought. "Anyway, are you informed about the last preparation today?" Agni asked. Nesca's forehead crumple
NESCA woke up to something that licked her cheek. Then her vision caught a small beast beside her. "D-Did I make it?" The forest was silent, only the chirping of the birds echoed around her. And it took her a while to realize what had just happened. The Willowgrave! Nesca ignored the small black beast as she got up. She ran towards the colossal body of the Willowgrave,itsprawled onthe stones of the dried river. Her eyes moistened as she studiedthe beast she had defeated. Nesca could hardly believe it herself. "Is there for real. I defeated a legendary beast?" She glanced up in the sky, and aweak laugh escaped her lips. She had slain a monster that she never thought she was capable of doing. "Arkhael, your dragon's scale saved me. We're even now…" she murmured. [Ding!] [Congratulations, Host!] [You have successfully defeated the Legendary Beast: Willowgrave, Devourer of Forests.] [Combat Assessm
NESCA could not contain her excitement because finally, she could try the new version of her weapon, the Shadowcloud Bow. And with the aide of her Beast Tracking skill, it wouldn't be hard for her to find the target. The young demon marshal in full battle armor had started announcing the rules of the hunt. "The rule is simple, collect the core of the beasts inside the lush forest of the Aoga Mountains. Every beast has a corresponding point, each lady can have as much as five guards to ensure their safety, but the guards are not allowed to hunt. Time limit is until sunrise…" Nesca immediately turned to look at her third brother's direction, who was still busy flirting with the ladies. The ladies seemed to be obsessing on the third prince's ear-length, light brown hair, as they were caressing it. She rolled her eyes. "I think its better if I do this alone." Meanwhile, Elvina and her gang had their elite guards with them as their companion. As soon as the
THE grueling days of magic training that Nesca endured had finally come to an end. She did not mind the humiliation because she knew her capability as of the moment. Nesca thought she'd enjoy a break, but Lete appear at her doorstep again early in the morning. "Seventh Princess, there's an event outside the palace. You must attend it as a training, because…"Lete hesitated. 'Come on, give me a break!' Nesca thought. She had just finished a high intensity exercise given by the system, and she just wanted to sleep all day so her body could have time to rest. "What is it again?" Nesca asked Lete lazily. "The third prince requests your presence." Nesca's face beamed. "Now? Training with the third prince?" "Yes, Princess. Prince Lorcane learned about your participation on the Centum. All noblesattending the Centummust participate in hunting practice." Nesca's expression suddenly had a hint of excitement."Finally, I get to mee
