After I went to Zenora Village to retrieve my two companions, we immediately headed out of Celestria.
As for my former companions who fought alongside me against the demon Moloch, I couldn't care less about what happens to them. The same goes for the others who were there.
While the three of us, Eira, Astralus, and I, were walking, Eira suddenly asked, "Kill? What really happened to you?" We halted, and I stopped under a tree.
The wind picked up where we stood, and I sat down beneath the tree.
"What... happened to me?" I replied to them in a cold voice, removing my skull mask and looking at them blankly.
"Are you okay?" Eira faced me, sitting close with her feet crossed. "Don't you want your friends to know you're still alive?"
I slowly gazed at Eira with lifeless eyes. "Friends?" I said to her.
Eira's eyes widened in shock. "What are you talking about? Your friends from the Academy."
"I answered in a cold voice, 'Friends? An assassin has no friends. Rule no. 5, that's what it states.'"
They were surprised again, and Astralus spoke, "Tell me? Are you a member of Oquilonia?" Astralus asked. "Answer me, truthfully?"
I sighed and looked at Astralus, saying to them, "I'm not a member of Oquilonia, and especially not a member of the regions. Because all I desire is to kill. Whether they're from Oquilonia or Celestria, I won't hesitate to take a life." Did I answer you?" I replied to Astralus coldly.
"What really happened to you?" Eira asked me again.
"It's a long story," I replied, standing up and putting on my mask. "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
We continued walking until we reached the abandoned building and stood in front of it.
"What are we going to do here, Kill?" Eira asked me, pointing at the building.
Eira, still wearing her blue dress, her face unchanged, her hair still blue and longer.
"The two who will join us are here," I replied to Eira, and we entered the abandoned building, greeted by the heavy aura, but it didn't startle me.
Suddenly, a woman and a man appeared. Mors and Nox.
About Mors, he has a prominent nose, sharp ocean-blue eyes resembling the waves of the sea, and dark hair with streaks of black that seem to dance in the light. His face is always uplifted, but deep bruises indicate his experience in battle. His muscular physique suggests strength and skill in combat, often adorned with dark clothing bearing emblems of his lineage or sigil.
As for Nox, she is a woman with sharp eyes as dark as the night and a prominent nose that gives her a captivating appearance. Her hair references the night, black as if from the darkness she emerged. Her face has angular features, conveying her determination and royalty. Nox's body is graceful and deceptive, revealing her readiness for battle and her power in aura. She usually wears clothes with shapes and colors reflecting the night, showcasing her connection to darkness and the secret world.
"Hey, what's up?" Mors smiled at me. "It's been a while since we last met, Kill."
I felt like nothing had changed between us, but there was one mistake. When I saw them again, they seemed stronger.
"We meet again, Kill," Nox smiled sweetly. "And you've become stronger since the last time we met."
They jumped towards us and faced us. They were still smiling.
"Kill, do you know them?" Astralus pointed at Mors and Nox. "They're not ordinary; they seem as strong as I am... maybe even stronger than me." Astralus looked at them seriously.
"Yes, I know them, and I've been with them in that world three years ago," I took off my mask and said, "You guys are amazing, you still recognized me even with my mask on."
Mors smiled, "I noticed the changing aura and the quiet walk, so we immediately knew it was you." Then Mors and Nox suddenly became serious. They looked at the three of us. "Your aura, you don't belong to the thirteen aura types, do you?"
I answered, "How did you know?" I asked him.
And his answer to me was, "because I can't read the flow and pattern of your aura. And I can't read your Aura core. The colors of the aura you emit vary, which proves to me that your abilities are not within the 13 aura types. Because you are unique, you belong to the Omnimancer."
He pointed at me, and he was really serious about what he was saying.
Eira suddenly asked me, "What is he saying, Kill? About the 13 aura types and Omnimancer?"
I answered them all, "Yes, I am indeed an Omnimancer, and there are also 13 aura types.
"The Vigor Aura that enhances physical strength and power of the user.
"The Rift Aura that grants the user the ability to manipulate space around them.
"The Elemental Aura that signifies control over natural elements such as fire, air, earth, water, lightning, light, darkness, ice, and other natural elements.
"The Ethereal Aura that demonstrates power and connection to the spiritual world.
"The Temporal Aura that gives the user control over time and the ability to shift between different times or eras. The use of this aura has been forbidden and classified as a Forbidden ability. However, no one has the ability to utilize all abilities related to Temporal Aura, and only Omnimancers have the capability to use those abilities when they reach the peak of their power.
"The Celestial Aura that indicates a connection to the stars and celestial bodies. Only the 12 Zodiacs and Omnimancers have the ability to use it.
"Manipulation Aura grants the user the ability to control and manipulate various things or entities."
"Transmutation Aura gives the user the ability to change or alter the characteristics of their aura, such as changing form or substance.
"Projection Aura enables the user to create projections or special manifestations of their aura in the outside world.
"Illusion Aura provides the user with the ability to create enchanting illusions or alterations to reality.
"Perception Aura gives the user the ability to manipulate or change the sight, senses, or thoughts of others.
"Harmony Aura allows the user to bring peace, understanding, and balance to their surroundings.
"Mystic Aura signifies unique abilities and knowledge of the mysteries and mystical forces of the world, such as divination, prophecy, and other esoteric knowledge and abilities."
"And most special of all, the Omnimancer, capable of using all 13 types of aura." Mors really gave all the details, but they were all true.
Eira looked at me. "So, can you use all aura types?" she asked.
"Yes, it seems like it," I replied coldly.
I still couldn't believe that they could figure out my aura type just like that; they were really skilled, just as expected.
"If that's the case, how do you know where you belong among those?" Astralus asked me.
And suddenly, Mors interjected, "There's no need for that because you'll find out soon enough and what kind of power you possess."
I added, "Yes, that's right, and Astralus, you belong to the Transmutation Aura because you can change the shape of your aura," I said to Astralus coldly, "and as for you, Eira, you belong to the Elemental Aura, that's only natural because you are an Elemental holder."
"If that's settled, let's stop the chitchat and start. Let's see how far you can go, Kill," Nox said coldly to me.
