Chapter 66: Chapter 66 – The Peasant Rises Arc

Decaying and moon seasons go by and day one of the flowering season arrives making a total of 167 days that went by.

 

'The outpost is currently holding 100 thousand soldiers most of who were hard trained during the decaying and moon seasons including 5 thousand officers one thousand captains and 100 majors, the army can now correlate to basic formations as the moon season was mostly snow so that's what I spent teaching them for at least 90 days.'

'The decaying season we had some engages but since its the borders of the forest the experience was divided by the many soldiers making them not leveling up too much, it seems that we were wrong about the experience system, it's actually best to simply make them fight with fewer people, in fact alone gives the most experience, however, I kept the squads unchanged as I opted for the best teamwork since, in the end, they're not adventurers and even those usually work with two or three.'

'As the layers of snow are being melted by the flowering season I'm currently on the capital with the crown prince as I left the army with Mark and Ryu, apparently, today will be the day the advisors decided for this new year annual tournament in the capital and as such, Iris will take my place, in order to, bolster my honor further as the general under Julius which if she does well, it'll help more soldiers to want to join our ranks, due to the rainy season into the snow one it made fewer people than I expected to join us, hopefully when the warm ones are back it'll increase.'

'After more than half a year I'm finally meeting Iris I've been sending her all the soul power I gathered even though neither of us has earned a single level, apparently I've been busy commanding and building the army, while she's been learning swordsmanship with some old guy that is not Alfred the swordmaster, so I don't really know why she chose him but knowing her I'm sure she had good reasons.'

"You can wait here Aurora I'll go check the starting time once Iris arrives I'll tell a guard to bring her here."

"Thank you, Prince Julius."

A while passes and Iris finally appears through the reunion room door where the crown prince spends most of his time working. The moment we see each other the transformation skill changes her body appearance to match Iris, who's grown a little taller but other than that looks like Aurora remember her, and then they run at each other giving a tight hug to one another.

"I missed you Aurora, my dear sister," I say happily tearing up while holding her and then speak with her through telepathy,' I've spent a long time alone with teacher Ray with casual visits from my parents, but other than that swordsmanship all that I've dedicated my time to, and now thanks to the crown prince and Ray, allowing it as a battle experience to see how far I could go in the tournament, I was able to take a break and come to the capital to meet you.'

'I see that your hair has been cut by the shoulder line, was it Ray?'

'Yeah, he said that it was in the way and before I could even protest about it, he cut it perfectly in a single slash, that man is something else but I feel like I've progressed a lot, so I'll stick with him for two more years and do my best to surpass him.'

'Well it still looks good on you even though long hair fitted the best, but nonetheless, we don't have much time, so tell me everything while we have the chance.'

I let go of Aurora and turn around showing her my black outfit placing the hood on top of my head,' a nine-pointed white star?'

I turn back to her and remove my cap hood hiding the star once more, 'I've started to pass these cursed skills personalities, however, it'll still take a while for them to gain a form, so for now, they're slowly growing in the mirror world through rank B soul stones that I bought with the kingdom's money.'

'Sounds like you've been busy Iris,' she smiles at me,' so what's your status now like?' Aurora asks curiously.

'Do you really want to see?' I giggle teasing her.

'Of course, show me!'

'Status open!'

Some minutes pass and then Aurora finally says something through my mind,' you're becoming quite strong aren't you Iris?'

'I blame Ray, that man is at least one hundred times stronger than me, he's a real beast,' I laugh lightly bringing a smile to her.

'You won a new unique skill?'

'Yes, I haven't used it yet though been busy with the sword all day long, so I have yet to try it out.'

'Iris... Why is the mirror level that high?'

'It was due to my soul growing so much due to whatever you've done on your side look at it, it's past five hundred thousand! Anyway's Aurora, it's time to awaken you further, grimoire possession,' she forcefully becomes a grimoire and then," spend enough souls to rank her up."

"You sure spent a lot of souls there Iris, shouldn't you be saving them?"

"The others have told me that your powers would be necessary, so you're the priority plus they warned me that having a big soul can become dangerous as it could attract unnecessary attention."

"Wait... you can talk now in grimoire shape and while possessed?" Iris looks at it and notices that it now has eyes, a mouth and it has become fully black aside of the letters of the cover that are golden."

"Apparently I can see the mana quantity you have as well and since we are connected you should be able to."

"Mirror," I look at the big mirror and see the big aura around me in tones of blue, "Grimoire renounce, mirror retract."

Aurora turns back into a human and says, "it seems that my last unique phase was the increase of the power of my class skills, even though I haven't gotten any yet," she laughs feeling awkward.

"What else did you get sister?"

"Let me show you, status."

Consumed Skills:

"With deconstruct I can convert skills I consume into soul power, stacking is pile up repeated ones, split is the other way around, imbue is placing one of those skills inside an item or a weapon, and consumer is to get them for myself."

"Seems like you can finally find skills for yourself as well and become stronger!" I said happily as I've been waiting so long for something good to happen to my sister.

"Yes, but I've accepted my fate as who I am, as such, we both know that you're the one who has to grow powerful enough to make good use of me."

"Well I'm sure you'll grow strong in no time and what about the unique skills, can you clarify them for me?"

"From the explanation, I received from the system the unique first effect is the mouth which allows me to speak while being possessed by you, the second is the eyes that can see the mana amount beings have, and the third effect is the apparent full black cover that makes my class skills stronger kind of like a little boost."

"Oh alright, well in that case what skills did your class get? What kind of boost is it?"

"Apparently after checking the list many times they're all about summoning monsters of many types like goblins, for example, I think that their levels will be affected by it."

"Can we tame them and make them live in the other world?"

"I don't know, but it should be possible, worst case we end up killing it and farming the experience they give."

"We'll have to test it once I'm done with Ray training in two years, I should have some of you know who, ready as well to help us with everything."

"Sounds perfect in a year and a half I'll do my best to have conquered some of the lands in the south, I'm currently leading a 106 thousand sized army."

"That's very impressive I suppose that's how you've been farming the soul stones, even though they're worth money, I'm surprised you get away with them all for yourself."

"Let's just say that I got myself an interesting deal with one of my advisors, I told them I have a blessing skill that allows me to consume such soul stones in exchange for more knowledge, and who wouldn't want their general to become wiser right?"

I laughed and then said, "you've also made our family part of the nobility too even though that part is whatever, I don't really need that said rank but it's fine," we smile at the idea.

Aurora bows her head and says," but oh lady Iris you are the noblest of the nobles, a princess truly," sister eyes then meet mines and we laugh at each other as we mock with similar jokes and acting.

The door knocks and the crown prince enters watching us laughing and acting like kids, making him see a side of Aurora he hadn't really met making him smile kindly.

Dark Priests Perspective 

 

The day before the tournament at the village of Tonne.

"The unique item was working so well but now it's pointing to the capital what the fuck is going on!? If only this piece of crap didn't have a day of cooldown," a dark priest yelled angrily while glaring at it.

"That's good news that means it is most likely a human we must not halt our search, and head there as today the annual tournament begins and possibly one of the candidates will be the one we seeketh or even one of those looking from the audience."

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk."

A different dark priest then spoke, "lord Zylph will be there so we must convey the message secretly, send a raven it'll get there faster than us, come, brother, I understand your pain but our leader awaits."

"Ughhhhhhhhh, damn it," he kicks a rock that hits a certain beggar who gets up slowly while holding a sword."

"I am terribly sorry old man, as my brother did not mean to hit you in the process," he grabs the item and starts walking.

"I'm truly pissed at the moment, do you want to fight? you shitty old man! You'll become my venting tool today," a poisoned knife appeared on each hand through the black robe he was wearing.

"We'll be heading on our way, meet us at the capital when you're done," they vanished swiftly while the dark priest walked closer to the old beggar while chanting a curse making the man in front of him slower," I want to see you try to run from me now."

The old man then said, "Unique skill seven sword arts, first move, the lightning flash," an electrified aura ran through the sword as it left the sheath at an incredible speed and then back inside to it, and then no longer feeling the slight weight from the curse, he sat again on the same spot without muttering a word.

"Are you done you trash?" The moment the dark priest took a step further half of his body disconnected from his other part falling on the ground dead as the blood and organs poured out dirtying it, making an old lady who was observing the situation in fear from her room window scream then pass out.
