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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQZllvQatr

Lunadea - Dorian, I've been wondering , were you born with any magical powers?392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIIRnqmVyE
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIShqnXjWw
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwBvhP3QLg
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbS4Zkgrgk
Dorian - Why do you ask? Are you worried that we won't be able to succeed?392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdlATCKOIW
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC0U5PjYFY
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl4KH77iQz

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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMBsYd3BhU
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcldS7WJrkI
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn50CHUVq36
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Sh6KhuwK
Lunadea - Well? What is it? Why didn't you use it until now?392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡareAkfrd8k
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RP3iVK7Jk
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdoGfMbxM0
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQHAgcQCjH
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl7WvjT7T3
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxMYpp0FJU
Dorian - This isn't even a real camp. We have two leaf beds and a fire. Haha.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklLr9gbFno
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCPKReqEy3
Lunadea - There should be a town around here somewhere. My mom told me to run here if something happened to our camp.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6DNh2N0XH
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEzQ5UwB7r
Dorian - We'll find it. I'm sure of it.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W2A0VNlL2
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENGuFnijHI
Lunadea - At least the sky is always beautiful.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG99FE2CoEb
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrvyqdfKgB

Lunadea - What? How?392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJEfu5MxyK
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAoCi8vNJw
Dorian - There's just something about it. It's such a mystery.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LIIJKGiim
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZsbUpo4D8
Lunadea - That's it! That's the name of the town: Mysteria!392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqMGyFIBui

392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPIhj5Rl6i
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?392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjEsMCkrNs
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9GZSnHz39
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKLPRuPLoh
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwHFcAWJcI
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpxvlFsYzy

Lunadea - Dorian...392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUjeyWeg8g
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIchVdlRkZI
Suddenly, in the silence of the night, they hear a loud scream.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rfRSQH3Yg
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZtMEfvKfH
Dorian - Did you hear that?392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rY2noWLW0
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkUIDRmm8V
Lunadea - Let's check it out, but be careful.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMcQ44A9IW
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9RxFsGHe8
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYppbsIqAAy
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEqVGLC6GM
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEBEyH568U

??? - Mangetsu!392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kg00DQk1r
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY14ZS1MSr6
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NUXkpK3Lo
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfrBPYrh0h
Ereadus - Sorry if my daughter troubled you. My name is Lord Ereadus, Lord of the castle in Mysteria.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQb5EmECHi

Mangetsu - I'm sorry...392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcYqWys37H

Lunadea - It's no problem...392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7w5ZpZuxu
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidqs7O8Old
Lunadea responded, but she had a feeling that something was off about this situation.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl1baQke2u
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3EmpkkQid
Dorian - We're a bit lost, Lord Ereadus. Could you tell us how to get to Mysteria?392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwatCnkYKwe
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiQsxYBrS3
Ereadus - It's to the north of here, about 20 minutes' walk.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTHTLYEGf8
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NettLJ5No
Dorian - Thank you.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwqb3MlqFx
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJkxx1iWwf

392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVwv5E4c5Y
Lunadea - Wait a minute! Why was your daughter screaming and why are you guys out here at night?392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr5T8vcs54
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYoG8m3TpS
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?392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnN7A9syRv
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhnruwnkEc
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCNtg4RPNe
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhXtSYQkYw
Lunadea - Hey, are you okay? She asked the white haired girl.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotzspnrNvb
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk6lCQAkwd
The girl smiled, but she was smiling like she was at a loss, like she was a little bit sad.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0PMEIzjUm
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZdlSal9zE
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdKCHTXdfS
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS2px0eHU0
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?392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7rxduFBvn
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOUce3zgBh
Dorian - I'm not.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRsnCRPY79

Lunadea - What? Dorian, you seem distracted.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBnRe3IElx
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjdIHRTbj8
Dorian - Oh, sorry, I was trying to figure out what their story is, but I have no idea.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaUBH99hcD
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9WbZZRM8O
Lunadea - So why did you let them go?392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAUQLfpThc
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNYrpPdZKO
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8Gr3i5mLU
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p3TyDJl4J
Lunadea - But what about that girl...392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvN1EbG9zj
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNuVognFTl
Dorian - He said he's the lord of the castle in Mysteria. Let's find out more about them first before jumping to any conclusions.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvvnKqWost

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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9jIgqpdbb
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjaBwdhxzp

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?392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2y4bTGwG2

The tavern door was thrown open with force, and a man's voice echoed through the room392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9SuQntt7W
