Dorian and Lunadea traveled for a week, spending each night sparring and training together to improve their skills. Since it was unsafe to travel at night, they took advantage of the time to hone their abilities.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3KJydvPKf

Lunadea - Dorian, I've been wondering , were you born with any magical powers?339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbMZn1mUE3
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUX4vP3CyF
In this world, magic is a rare and highly sought-after ability. It can only be possessed by those who are born with it, and it cannot be learnt or trained. The more magical abilities a person has, the more powerful and special they are considered to be. Some people are born with just one type of magic, while others may possess multiple abilities. Unfortunately, those who are not born with magic are often looked down upon and considered ordinary.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RNCi1BXiB
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH61iTVufc
Dorian - Why do you ask? Are you worried that we won't be able to succeed?339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JYOiOPMfU
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlYTAHBSks
Lunadea - Well, you told me that we should enter the tournament and that's why we've been sparring every night. But even though I think you move really well, I don't think we have the power to compete with the other entrants.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WiuF7izfv

The Shadomin Tournament is a prestigious event held every 10 years, where teams of 5 compete against each other to earn the title of the king's personal guard, known as the Shadomin. It is a grueling competition that tests the skill and magic of the participants, the last team to survive the tournament wins, and all 5 members become tier 3 Shadomins.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw16eEaDlh
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1sRvERZXm
Dorian - I know, Luna. The tournament is in three months and we need to get stronger if we want to have a chance at winning, on top of that we need to survive alone. As for your question, yes, I do have a magical ability. It's not as flashy as your fire power, but it is unique.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HncZnTrc3
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ozB5IaUDy
Lunadea - Well? What is it? Why didn't you use it until now?339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOAlrjpGJA
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxErEfwpov
Dorian - I can stop time for a short period, just as long as a clap. When I do it, my eyes turn wierd and yellow. I can do it up to three times, but if I use it more than that, I get strange blind spots in my vision and my head hurts for the rest of the day. It's hard to describe, but it's like weird geometric flashing designs that are painful to look at.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qdTtykHar
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf7nifNuIZ
Lunadea - Wow, that's amazing! Well, not the side effects part, but now I understand why that old man told the villagers that you could take them all down. With your speed and that magic, they wouldn't even have time to react!
Dorian - Thanks, Luna. I think you're really strong too, and that fire sword you do is super cool.
Lunadea - We need to gather more wood or the campfire is going to go out.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBp3ubGOPD
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDudsGijMBs
Dorian - This isn't even a real camp. We have two leaf beds and a fire. Haha.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF23SML1Wx
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpytNngJZh
Lunadea - There should be a town around here somewhere. My mom told me to run here if something happened to our camp.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcejVA5FwZQ

Dorian - We'll find it. I'm sure of it.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4x7k43Flk

Lunadea - At least the sky is always beautiful.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CgD49pTW1

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1Ehj13d10
Dorian - There's just something about it. It's such a mystery.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx4RuYn3dq

Lunadea - Hey, Dorian. If we fight in the tournament, I might have a chance to achieve my dream. But your grandma mentioned something about your own dream. Can you tell me what it is?339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2ovbl2dzW

If you become a Shadomin and advance to the first tier, you'll be able to compete in a 1v1 tournament that is held every 50 years. The winner of this tournament gets the chance to challenge the current king for his spot as ruler.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFb1bqV3hZ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSakIKz6z0v
Dorian - My mom and dad were Shadomins of the second tier. When I was young, they left to protect the king and never returned. I never understood why they left me for the king, and so I want to ask him directly. Winning the tournament will help me do that.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeiOLvFY6s

Lunadea - Dorian...339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzJjNowb47
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvTfgOsq89
Suddenly, in the silence of the night, they hear a loud scream.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblx8ylr3Xa
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYlKjB5CAH
Dorian - Did you hear that?339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbY6iM91Rd
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ss1yt82pg
Lunadea - Let's check it out, but be careful.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaIGISnonx
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWUQ9ZvAhO
Upon hearing the scream, Dorian and Lunadea rush to investigate. When they arrive at the source of the noise, they find a trembling girl. She had a slender and petite figure. Her silver hair was styled sleek and straight, long and falling past her waist. Her blue eyes stood out against her pale complexion, large and expressive. Her face was characterised by delicate features, and a small nose, giving her a youthful and fresh faced appearance.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKQeVJw8lQ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL12v8NUXlF
She was surrounded by undead skeletons. Without hesitation, Lundea wields her sword, dispatching a group of the skeletons, while Dorian swiftly moves in and out of the fight, destroying the skeletons behind the girl. Together, they work to protect the girl and defeat the undead attackers.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpX7hX4f9u

Out of the darkness, a man appears, dressed in luxurious clothing adorned with many rings. He is an older man, with graying hair, tall and imposing in stature.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGsDAw5raI

Ereadus - Sorry if my daughter troubled you. My name is Lord Ereadus, Lord of the castle in Mysteria.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssJ3E6SIZr

Lunadea - It's no problem...339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAR6QzjSlf
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5CnUnggZm
Lunadea responded, but she had a feeling that something was off about this situation.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xnVvCJWR6
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD8slRZlOQ
Dorian - We're a bit lost, Lord Ereadus. Could you tell us how to get to Mysteria?339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTMA5QHKua
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar8NVuUt6F
Ereadus - It's to the north of here, about 20 minutes' walk.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws9I48oxFH
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dHaC956P0
Dorian - Thank you.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0BG42VzYh

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3weokRgEfx
Lunadea - Wait a minute! Why was your daughter screaming and why are you guys out here at night?339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2SonykJK0
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjUjLEVSrS
Ereadus - Night? It's morning, girl. We were out for a morning walk and were attacked by those undead. Thank you for your help, but don't be so impertinent with me. Lower your voice when speaking to a lord. Or is it that in the Dämoneneko culture, there are no lords?339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5oE1ZkQd6
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzk9AvJykb
Lunadea was dressed in one of my mom's outfits, with a cloak on her head. My grandma gave it to her so she wouldn't be recognised.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlIBvAXxPn
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sShrUnoU9
Lunadea - Hey, are you okay? She asked the white haired girl.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcuDsiKE8k
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaw507vq5r
The girl smiled, but she was smiling like she was at a loss, like she was a little bit sad.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RH6XfKjNc
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEecN5aIBz
Lunadea thought to herself, how can anyone be, so sad when they smile. The lord and her daughter left, and so did Dorian and Lunadea.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsXc96tQOx
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuydUlcO1bw
Lunadea - Dorian, don't you think it was suspicious that the lord and his daughter were out here in the middle of the night, surrounded by undead skeletons?339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajxcvOyDsp
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QXUlCdMmW
Dorian - I'm not.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B9ggo6Pdc

Lunadea - What? Dorian, you seem distracted.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmJ9K3AeIM
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJbj0NIf3F
Dorian - Oh, sorry, I was trying to figure out what their story is, but I have no idea.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rAkwukhmX
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidX9qp2lc2
Lunadea - So why did you let them go?339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYJ9YbxhYV
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYdwmht09U
Dorian - We can't risk getting into a fight with someone as powerful as that lord. Did you see the weapons he had on him? A golden sword, blood-stained nails, and an air of complete calm despite your flaming sword and my quick disposal of the skeletons. He should at least have been on his guard around us, what if we were bandits? That guy is definitely a skilled fighter and probably a magic user too, given how he didn't flinch at your flames.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC65GnMbLU
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIWjMCbJ8E
Lunadea - But what about that girl...339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0YiNOUuVh
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHcqMEhPq5

As they approached the town of Mysteria, Dorian and Lunadea were immediately struck by the vibrant energy of the place. The streets were bustling with people of all shapes and sizes, from merchants hawking their wares to harlots beckoning passersbys from the shadows. The air was thick with the smell of spices and sweat, and the sound of laughter and shouting filled the air. Everywhere they looked, there were armed thugs trying to intimidate or seduce anyone who caught their eye. Dorian and Lunadea had never seen anything like it before, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement as they navigated through the crowded streets. As they entered the bustling tavern, they were immediately struck by the lively atmosphere. People were still drinking and singing along with the bard, and it seemed as they did it all night. Dorian and Lunadea made their way to the tavern keeper, who was busy serving drinks to a group of rowdy patrons.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbEElrGScT
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyJkekk37k

As Dorian made his way up the stairs, he couldn't help but notice a strange girl sitting in the corner of the tavern. She was dressed in a way that seemed meant to conceal her identity, just like Lunadea did. However, there was a jar of sand sitting next to her that truly caught Dorian's attention. What could she be hiding, and why was she carrying around a jar of sand?339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuF0ttLvrG
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DSj1ccFfQ
The tavern door was thrown open with force, and a man's voice echoed through the room339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0EGQDn4fc
