"I'm not really sure… However, I can tell that she's hiding something and not showing her true self… Hmm… I think I can smell it." Krusk said after Vincent asked him what he knows about Ayla's identity.

He's the one who had noticed that something was off about Ayla after all.

"So it was like that… However, you referred to her as a monster… Can you tell me why?"

Krusk smiled after hearing this question. It was as if he was expecting Vincent to ask this.

"That's simple! I can feel her spirit is different… Someone that I've never felt from humans or other beasts… I don't know what to call her so I said that she's a monster… Right?"

"This… You can feel someone's spirit?" Vincent asked curiously.

It is said that a person is composed of three things, the body or the physical flesh, the soul or the inner nature of the person, and finally, the spirit which is considered the breath of life.

Vincent already knows about this in his previous life during their theology classes when he was in high school but he also learned it here in the Arcane Mysteries Class.

The only difference, however, is that the Soul and Spirit here are not something that only exists in faith… It is something that can be trained and as a matter of fact, he has already trained his Soul to become an Aura Knight.

As for the Spirit, Vincent had no idea how he can even have a glimpse of it.

"I can feel it… Every living being has it. Hmm… If someone as strong as you can't feel it, perhaps this is a unique trait of Mythical Beasts like me. Kekeke… You should be thankful that I'm here to tell you."

"R-right… Thank you. In any case, do you think Ayla is actually dangerous?"



"I don't think so… You mentioned that she looks like Tara for a moment… Perhaps she has some inferiority complex and wanted to copy her?"

"Inferiority complex? Where did you even learn that word? Anyway, it doesn't feel like that at all. For me, it even feels like her original face was that of Tara's face… Ugh, I'm confused." Vincent grunted since he can't really believe this as well.

'Transformation Magic? A twin? A clone?' Vincent started having some random thoughts as he was really curious about this.

Suddenly, Vincent's eyes lit up as he recalled what the other Celestial Beings said about Tara…

'T-they mentioned that the Rank 999 was already dead. If I'm not mistaken, one of them said they saw her get cut in half during the first war they had against the deities of this planet…'

Vincent shuddered after recalling the conversation with the five new Celestials that he had taken to his side.

Although they have brushed it off as something that they have mistakenly seen, Vincent just can't believe that the Celestials would make such a mistake to recognize who was cut in half at that time.

He can't underestimate their senses after all.

'Tara's unconfirmed death… Ayla's mysterious connection to her… There's also Vera's warning about my real enemies coming for me… I thought at first that it could be the magic god's Avatar or even the Star Garden Peak… But… is this perhaps related to that?'

Vincent sighed as he felt worried that he don't know who should he be wary of. The most that he could do right now is just to stay vigilant and hope that his Magic Tools can always protect him from his enemies.

Five days quickly passed as the situation within the city finally stabilized… The reconstruction of the City Barrier was a lot faster than expected thanks to the supplies that Lola provided to them.

The dead soldiers of the city already had their funerals and even though Vincent wanted to compensate the families they left behind, not even a quarter of them has families living here.

Most of them do not have partners because they are still too young and they think that they could live longer life after becoming a magician.

Their plan was simply to get stronger until they reached the limit of what they can do before starting a family. Vincent can't really blame these people as Mana Cultivation can take a lot of time… He's basically the same as them.

Currently, he's looking at the cemetery that he has made not too far from Vera's Plaza. His thoughts are unknown…

After a while, someone came next to him.

"It's not your fault, Vincent… Those armors and weapons you've given were the best. Not even the heirloom of the large clan in the Tudor Kingdom can compete with those swords."

Therese spoke after finding Vincent observing the cemetery. She knows a few people that have died in the siege as well and she was planning to put some flowers in their graves.

"You're here…" Vincent replied as he cleared his thoughts. He also noticed that she wasn't alone.

Yvette Marshall was behind her looking at him with a weak smile on her face.

During the siege, these two were guarding the gate that wasn't attacked by the Barbarians or the Dragon Riders so they were quite safe.

Well, although they have decent skills, they weren't really accustomed to large-scale battles so Calidia didn't call for them as a reinforcement.

The three of them spent some time in the cemetery as Vincent learned about their dead friends. It was really unfortunate that this had happened and he can only vow to himself not to let this happen again…

'It's not enough… I need new things…' Vincent mused as he bit his lips.

In the previous battle, he realized that he has to stop relying on enhancing weapons or items…

He needs to create new things. He can't just rely on his production team to create new inventions for him since it is close to impossible. He has to start with the creation and enhance them using his skills.
