Chapter 89: Chapter 89 – General Aurora Arc

Year 5009 after the system day 70 of the flowering season at night.

 

The smell of blood and death was so intense that no one dared to approach, the bodies weren't buried as they would eventually convert into soul stones, and the weapons and other types of equipment had been removed both from the enemies and the allies who fell during combat on the battlefield.

Usually, scavengers would make a lot of profit, but upon Aurora orders, the soldiers who didn't participate would be the ones collecting those things, and then be stored in one of the storage rooms they had made and guarded, not many fools would attempt to steal from an army, but foolishness existed for a reason, so to avoid that Aurora had contacted the merchants to get her some important people to handle the upcoming trades from the loot she'd acquire from the skirmishes she had done so far, and of course the ones that were yet to happen.

A lone girl stood in the middle of corpses while focusing on the human, beast, and monster detector skills to be sure no one else was close by while she prepared for her awakening.

'Just in case I'll do a little trick so the men on the wall or in the watchtowers won't see me with their skills by accident.'

She expanded a dark barrier around while transforming into a grimoire and absorbed the few thousand soul stones around at a good pace, eventually consuming all of them.

Notice: 300 thousand soul power has been received it is a sufficient amount to fully awaken by using the blessed skill of endless awakening.

 

'I received a lot of stats from the recent awakenings, as well as one thousand mana for each time I did, I wonder what the end will be, I wish to fully awaken as well as to deconstruct every skill I received.'

Notice: 150 thousand soul power has been received from the deconstructed skills.

Notice: For the last three stages 204 800 soul power will now be consumed, the result for full awakening is unknown, do you wish to proceed?

 

'Yes,' she said expectantly as Aurora couldn't bear to remain weak forever, without knowing what true power in this world yet meant.

Notice: Soul-bound has reacted, experience, skills, and soul can now travel between grimoire and master independent of the distance.

Notice: You have successfully awakened to the first of three phases of a cursed grimoire, as such, all of your blessed skills have been sent to the master to avoid losing them, from now onwards the same will happen to any new ones given by higher entities, including divine and holy types, furthermore the grimoire cover has been updated turning into crystal clear yet hiding the words in the pages.

As she became further cursed, the affinity with the dark element grew, making the aura around her grow darker than black inside the barrier she erected earlier.

Notice: With the first phase concluded you've earned an extra thousand mana capacity, 100 durability, plus 1 attack, 10 magic attack, and 500 magic potential along with a cursed effect.

Notice: While in grimoire form you'll be able to see in a scope of 360 degrees, such vision can be blocked if there's anything in front of you, in other words, you cannot see through.

 

As the aura grew stronger and wider, forcing the dark barrier to extend covering a further area, the ground beneath and the leftover corpses started disappearing faster.

Notice: You have successfully awakened to the second of three phases of a cursed grimoire.

Notice: With the second phase concluded you've earned an extra thousand mana capacity, 100 durability, plus 1 attack, 10 magic attack, and 500 magic potential along with a cursed effect, status points function has been removed, all the points spent have been reverted.

System: The title Cursed Weapon has been received.

Notice: While in grimoire form the skills used by the master will have a better chance of hitting.

 

Finally, the aura grew to such an extent that even hard things like the stones and bones started turning into dust, and then even those grains disappearing into the nothingness of darkness.

Notice: You have successfully awakened to the third of three phases of a grimoire becoming a full-fledged and max-ranked cursed weapon.

Notice: With the third phase concluded you've earned an extra thousand mana capacity, 100 durability, plus 1 attack, 10 magic attack, and 500 magic potential along with a cursed effect, leveling up will now automatically increase weapon type parameters, level and experience have been thus reset to give birth to the new application by the system.

Notice: Unique skill transformation has evolved into cursed skill transformation allowing the birth of a new skill.

Notice: The cursed skill True Form has been unlocked.

Notice: Due to the evolution of the transformation skill, status has been reverted to normal.

Notice: Due to the cursed transformation skill the status is protected by a curse that hides the information no longer necessary changing it, this has already been applied by using part of the immense aura around the grimoire.

Notice: The third and last effect requires an awakened master thus it'll stay unlocked but dormant for now, status has been updated and will now open, skill points have also been removed along with its function leaving all the pandemonium skills locked.

Consumed Skills:

"Seems like I've started from zero once again..." she muttered upset into the night feeling weak and powerless once more as having a ton of mana was all she had, and by using her past life memories to get a comparison, it wasn't necessarily the greatest of things.

"At the very least I have enough mana to play tricks during the many war skirmishes to come, it seems like the goblin shaman told Romeo and Sophie about the goddess Luna, but luckily he didn't mention any name."

"With all the blessings I had going over to sister I can only truly hope she'll be able to become like I used to be, meanwhile she gets stronger, I'll keep doing my share through commanding, reducing our enemies as much as possible."

"With the fire further spreading, it'll eventually reach the enemy kingdoms, I can't help but seeing how they will handle it, best case scenario would be having beasts fighting the other beasts unless it doesn't reach them as the forest is bound to end at some point."

"Actually... that would be an interesting plan..." She started walking deeper into enemy territory after removing the barrier around her while coating the entire body in mana to avoid being assassinated in one go unless the enemy was so powerful that it would breakthrough.

"The good thing about being how I am is that the heat and this burnt smell and or even the smoke don't really bother me, but it'll certainly be harmful to the enemies which allow me to explore freely, let's see what I can find."

In the middle of the darkness of the night, illuminated slightly by the fire further south and the remnants of black and red charcoal a blonde short haired girl ran happily smiling.

Half an hour later of continuous looting of soul stones from corpses she finds and shiny stones on the ground, her passive skill alarms her of a beast nearby.

Without much care, she keeps running southward like a moth flying in the direction of the flames while feeling really good about herself.

After interrogating some of the goblins that were captured by Sophie who apologized to her for having some doubts due to the shaman words, the assassins obtained a good amount of information.

Not even an hour of torturing and they were blabbering all they could with the words they knew, as the intelligence owned by such creatures, young ones even were certainly not the best.

Nonetheless, for Aurora it was enough to finally pinpoint with absolute confidence the enemy king base which crossed close by to what she had estimated, and also got to learn a couple of important things such as what type of monsters and whose kingdoms were around it.

From the information, one of the kingdoms parallel to general Angelica was the kobold kingdom who was wide enough to reach the sea at the west, and on the opposite side in the east, there's an orcs kingdom reaching all the way to the end of the mountains that start northwest of the Lumen kingdom.

What intrigued her the most though was that despite the goblins having told everything she wanted to know, from the things they used as the weapons, skills, classes, evolutions which were something only beasts could do, a better estimation of their number, and of course what was behind, in other words, further south than the goblin kingdom.

Once her question was answered, she then realized how exactly the human kingdom would fall like the Saintess predicted, since further behind the goblin kingdom, were 3 other similar kingdoms of the same race, apparently led by the goblin king Vrag brothers and sisters.

In other words, in the future based on the Saintess dream, the odds were that Vrag allied all the goblin kingdoms destroying the kobolds, orcs, and of course the humans, allowing the goddess Luna to become the ruler of the south.

After a lot of thought, Aurora realized that if the first kingdom to fall wasn't the one in front of her army, then even with the knowledge she possesses, it would be impossible to stop total defeat on numbers alone.

Despite being a weapon perhaps due to having a past personality and soul which remained all the way to this life, she was feeling stressed and impulsive which resulted in this little trip to refresh her ideas.

"This is?" she kicks lightly a green thing on the floor.

"Ah... it hurts," the thing turned out to be a female goblin who turned herself upwards after rolling to see who kicked her.

"Roasted goblin meat, you look delicious," the wicked perverse side of Aurora who is currently in control said while licking the lips.

The goblin female got up despite being injured and looked down at the young girl who was smaller by at least a quarter part.

"Who do you think you are? Calling me a goblin warrior of level 10 delicious like that!? Not even us female goblins when going on a mating season are that straightforward!" She shouted angrily at Aurora who was not even listening to her and then she activated it.

'True form,' once she used her new skill, Aurora appearance transformed into what it used to be heightening up to 180cm, well-built female naked fit body, and a long white hair reaching the ground, with blue icy eyes and an extremely white pale skin filled with very complex tattoos all over her body in her face included.

Notice: True form skill bringing you back to a portion of your older self, can only last for a minute per the level of the skill while consuming 1000 mana each time, and for every level, it increases the quantity of power you can use. The abilities of your cursed colored marks all over your body will slowly be unlocked.

Notice: 1000 mana has been deducted for the first minute.

 

'What's up with this human filled with war painting of different colors, white hair that goes all the way to the floor, she looks very old, grotesque even,' the female creature thought evaluating what was in front of her who and been a cute young girl not too long ago.

Two voices resounded through the same voice making it sound like an echo, "it has been far too long since we have become true," the goblin in front of Aurora started shaking aggressively as the killing intent was naturally activated as the voice spoke.

As she looked at the target in front of her an eerie dark aura took shape surrounding her hands and then she opened her mouth where sharp and big teeth could be seen.

"M-monster!? A D-demon!?" The goblin yelled confused without knowing what creature the supposed human in front of her currently was.

"We are hungry, come here, let us eat you, we are starving, the world must be consumed," as Aurora approached, the goblin warrior tried all sorts of things eventually coating herself in mana gaining some resistance against the killing intent that was striking her, no longer shaking in fear and preparing an attack as she got closer.

Once Aurora got in the necessary range, the goblin mana coated her fist and punched towards the girl's face in front of her.

The fist flew through Aurora's head trespassing it without causing harm causing the goblin to panic further, and then the darkness around her became many arms with hands, and they grabbed the green creature tightly hurting her physically and also with the element slowly turning the body into nothingness, two of the hands grabbed her legs making her immobile, two more grabbed her arms forcing the creature into submission, and another one her neck lowering the body by pulling the neck towards the ground curving the goblin back, to which the enemy did its best to fight back but to no avail.

With the neck now close to her, Aurora's mouth grew wide enough and she bit it off causing the head to fall on the floor.

Notice: 550 experience has been rewarded from a goblin.

Notice: Aurora has leveled up to 3; Every ten levels an upgrade to the statuses will happen.

 

She chews some times and then gulps the goblin meat down.

Notice: Something has been rewarded.

System: Couldn't understand or input the reward into status.

Notice: The pandemonium class has progressed.

System: This type of reward has been directed by default to the tome of pandemonium who holds the knowledge from a different world.

 

Once she devours the entire goblin which didn't take more than 20 seconds despite the big size, a voice is then produced by the old woman," monster, demon, abomination, creature, god, phantom, devil, calamity, we've been called many names by the old humans, but you're all wrong, we're..." she smiled evilly as her mouth was full of blood with small pieces of green meat, and then she returned naturally to her normal human form as the time ended.

'Seems like our gamble didn't pay off even using our true form, but nonetheless, we have found a way to fight the system in this world, though I'm not sure what progressed in the pandemonium.'

'Indeed Aurora, it wasn't so bad, we'll possibly be able to change this world unlike the last one, and find a way to bring a calamity to those gods who oppress us.'

'Yes, secretly we'll exploit the system, sneakily we'll devour the many beings around, stealthy we'll close the gap towards the higher beings, we'll destroy everything and everyone who stands before us while saving our master from this pathetic world.'

'Now sleep Aurora, your time won't come for a while.'

'Mhm...'

'I'll have to level this skill up at some point and use the other tricks I brought into this world,' the girl laughed wickedly while surrounding herself in an ominous aura.

'Detecting humans coming from behind... 2, must be the hero and the sage who must've noticed my absence, transformation skill,' the blood and the smell disappeared without a trace from her, making everything clean and perfect as it was before she arrived here.

Then with a fake smile, she turned around and started walking casually while holding her hands on her back against each other.

After a while, as Aurora is able to detect humans 100 meters away, she meets the couple who's always on her tail.

"Aurora? Are you okay?" Sophie hurriedly approached and checked on her.

"Yes older sister, I came to explore this late at night to refresh my ideas, especially since no one would be here, after that big fire!" She smiled happily making Sophie relax her body.

"I suppose it'd be hard to find a monster around here, everything smells very bad," Romeo agrees based on logic, having both hands around his nose making it look like a small mask," let us return we shouldn't be breathing this, it won't do us any good."

"We shouldn't? What could a smell like this do?" Aurora asked innocently since the kingdom is advanced but not to a medical extent since magic can heal a lot of things.

"I'll explain on the way come you two."

"Alright!" Aurora replies happily while grabbing Sophie's hand and walking back to the camp.

"I'm relieved you're safe, next time at least take one of us with you."

"Alright, I'll let you know next time I need to relax from planning things."

'It truly must be tough for someone so young to bear such a big burden...' The couple thought in unison completely falling for Aurora's innocence.
