Chapter 102: First Race Mythological Servant For Aaron
With this attitude, Andrew could not hold Arthur, Sara, or the rest of the 13th squad. Andrew raised his hand, asking people to leave.
At first, they refused as they wanted to know what Arthur's punishment would be, but Andrew reiterated to them that Arthur would be punished according to the agreement.
"Agreement?!" asked Norman, confused.
"You don't need to worry about that. You can leave."
Obeying Andrew's orders, the ten captains left the place together. Harold followed Andrew's orders, leaving only Arthur with Andrew and Silvianna.
"I can appoint someone else as the new captain of the 7th squad," Andrew said.
"You must keep your promise, Arthur. Whatever it takes, Sky Sword won't interfere anymore," Andrew said.
"That's quite a relief. It would be inconvenient for me to fight while thinking about other things."
Arthur and Sara nodded at each other, saying that the 13th squad would not be staying at Dorm 13. Besides being unlivable, the uncertain situation in the headquarters neighborhood made Sara worried.
Andrew understood Sara's concerns. As compensation, he handed over a large black bag with a nominal number written on the front, 30000 RL. The money came from his personal pocket.
"Use that money for your squad's needs. Don't be greedy!" said Andrew.
"Thank you, Leader Andrew."
"Go and reach Lilith City, make us all proud."
Sara smiled excitedly, she would do exactly as Andrew said. The two said their goodbyes and left Sky Sword HQ with nothing more to discuss.
Silvianna glanced to the side, wondering why Andrew's attitude had softened towards Arthur when the young man had clearly admitted that he killed Eros.
"Arthur is the man who defeated Bright. If you can be his friend, that's better than being enemies with him."
"Befriending a powerful person protects you. Is that what you mean?" asked Silvianna, Andrew chuckling at the saying.
"It's more or less like that."
***
Arriving in front of the city cathedral, several adventurers walked through the entrance. There were several purposes that they would do, either worship and give thanks to God or come to improve their talents and summon servants.
Arthur's purpose in coming to the city cathedral was solely to perform a servant summoning. He already had the required items; it was not difficult to summon servants of mythological races to his presence.
He walked along with the other adventurers, but their attention was focused on the red title clearly displayed above Arthur's head. They suspected that Arthur had committed murder after the raid opened.
The young man met a beautiful nun with long, flowing blonde hair, standing guard behind a desk close to the cathedral entrance. She asked Arthur a basic question.
"Welcome to the city cathedral."
"Would you like to worship or something else?" asked the blonde nun.
"Something else."
"What is it? Talent or Servant?"
"Servant."
The blonde sister smiled. She asked another nurse, free of time, to escort Arthur to the servant's room.
The room was commonly used for summoning servants, whether servant beasts or mythological races. The city cathedral could not yet be for soul servants due to their lack of understanding.
The room was on the second floor; some adventurers followed the stairs leading to it, but they turned into another room, the talent room.
'There are quite a few adventurers who want to do Ascension Talent,' said Arthur.
The servant room door opened, revealing a room with a round floor; there was also a triangular pattern inside.
The nurse who escorted Arthur explained what items were needed to summon a servant; Arthur stopped what he was saying because he understood.
The nurse moved on to invite Arthur to register and check the items. Arthur took out two items from his digital storage, 1 vial of mythological race blood and a speck of mythological race consciousness core.
"We don't need the consciousness core to—"
"Just add it to the item," Arthur asked.
The staff behind the computer agreed. However, the woman explained the risk of adding unnecessary items, which could result in a reduced servant ability or a complete failure of the servant summoning. Arthur was willing to bet that the servant summoning would be successful.
Following the instruction manual, Arthur opened the menu panel of his servant, then pressed the add servant menu.
[SERVANT]
[Search Servant:]
[Add Servant]
[Enhance Servant]
[Terminate Servant]
[List Servant]
Another panel appears in front of Arthur's face, displaying three options for the type of servant to add.
[Select servant type:]
[1. Beast Servant]
[2. Mythological Race Servant]
[3. Soul Servant]
For the first time, Arthur pressed the second option, Mythology Race Servant. Another panel appeared, explaining the main requirements for summoning a servant, one of which was about the important items needed.
[Race Mythological Servant selected]
[Servant Contract]
[Required items:]
[1 Vial of Race Mythological Blood]
[MP amounted to 10000]
[Confirmation of item availability for the Race Mythological Servant Contract Ritual?]
[Yes] [No]
Before pressing the confirmation button, Arthur downed an MP Elixir Level 3 to restore his MP. After seeing the MP panel increase, Arthur confidently pressed the confirmation menu.
[Scanning items for race mythological servant contract ritual:]
[1 Vial of Race Mythological Blood]
[MP amounted to 10000]
[Race Mythological Servant Contract Ritual requirements met!]
[Initiating Contract Ritual]
[MP -10000]
After it appeared, Arthur brought the panel containing the QR Code closer to be scanned using a device from the room.
Arthur's identity was displayed on the computer screen, from his name to the availability of servant-summoning items.
"Come to the center of the floor, Aaron."
Exactly as instructed, Arthur stepped inside, and instantly, a golden-colored magic dome appeared, protecting the place.
The room staff held two objects according to Arthur's wish and then placed them on a podium together.
The podium moved forward into the dome, with Arthur inside. The staff said something to Arthur, asking him not to do anything aggressive. Let the process of summoning servants run smoothly.
Arthur cleared his throat. He sat cross-legged on the floor, his eyes closed to let his aura sensitivity work.
From the direction of the vial of blood and the core of mythological race consciousness, the two objects seemed to merge in an emerald green light; the staff told him that the procession of summoning servants was underway.
Arthur's eyes opened, he saw the blood of the mythological race mixed with the energy of the Nymph's consciousness core.
Slowly, the blood began to form a female figure in a long green dress, which was familiar to Arthur's eyes.
"This appearance and energy. There is no mistaking it; she is the Queen of Nymph," Arthur replied, rising from his seat.
About ten minutes passed, the figure of the Nymph that Arthur had just defeated reappeared before the young man.
However, there were some significant differences, such as the pupils of her eyes were black, and her long curly hair which was originally emerald green, turned black.
[Servant Summoning Ritual succeeded]
[Host gets a Mythological Race Servant]
[Servant Name: Thalenia]
[Race: Nymph]
[Servant Level: 1]
[Element: Earth]
[CP +10000]
'It turns out that her name is Thalenia,' Arthur said.
The golden dome of light fading, the staff stepped forward to Arthur and his mythological race servant. He congratulated Arthur for successfully summoning his servant.
Thalenia opened her eyes, smiled, and surprisingly hugged Arthur tightly, full of affection and gratitude.
"Thalenia?" asked Arthur, surprised.
"It's good to see you again, Arthur."
"I knew you would keep your promise."
[Buff servant activated]
[Host HP and MP regenerate]
[HP Regen 750/5 seconds]
[MP Regen 500/5 seconds]
'I had expected it. Her buff can become mine.'
'Now, I don't have to worry about HP and MP because there is Thalenia who can help me.'
