Chapter 184 - Lautus Tunguska Disciples Shenanigans (1/2)
While the Ouroboros was settling her deal with a kindred individual within a foreign realm, Lautus Tunguska was greeted with its disciples in their new flesh. Unlike their former self, all of them were wearing a confident smile and grin. The trial they received had steeled their soul and mind, especially for the Lagoons.
Elon Suykar, Ragoni Cruten, Jojo Lagoon, Jaro Lagoon, Carla Calista, Kuromaki Guda, all stood with new flare as they all don the same uniform made by the sect.
Unlike the ancient scholar type robe like most sect did with their uniforms, Lautus Tunguska embalmed its ideology onto the Akashic Record by being different and gave their disciples an militaristic suit that made them look like an officer within a modern regime.
In front of them was the very individual that had tested their conviction by making them meet and greet with the ground. The Erinyes.
Damascus stood in front of the other Elders, leaning her right hand on her otherworldly walking cane.
”I now deemed every one of you, as the new kind of Usurper that will shake the world like a meteor in its prime. By withstanding the painful transformation process to mold the flesh from their leashes, it proved each of your worth to become the first generation of Lautus Tunguska's disciples.
”On the east is the Sect's Library that contains everything you need to cultivate and improve your skill. Shower yourself with every drop of wisdom. That building also holds a vast tale and secret information that wasn't known by the public.
”Treat the library as your own mother that kept squeezing every last bit of her life to nurture their child. Just like every kind parent, they will make sure that you're ready for the world outside, and beyond the comprehension of Neamh.
”On the west is the Quest Center where you could earn a credential point that can be exchanged with materials, mana crystals, and artifacts that were kept within the vault up there as a treasure.
”Meanwhile, the building behind me is the place where you could gain the blessings from the Ouroboros or the Deity of the Tribunal Blight. It will also be the place where you can find or call forth upon the Elders in a huge importance. Don't be there when it wasn't needed.
”Lastly.” Damascus' stern face turned into an amused smirk. ”Knowing that all of us are a family now, remembering each of your Elders and their origin is a must, especially if you wanted any of us to invite you as an inner disciple.”
Damascus tapped her walking cane onto the ground thrice. ”I shall introduce myself first!
”My name is Damascus Von Clezakh, I'm an Erinyes from the Underworld, brought here by the Ouroboros to serve her in the crusade of spreading her Almighty influence upon Neamh. If you are my Core Disciple, then I'll make sure that you'll learn the way of Hellspawn, teaching you how to create beneficial contracts with others.
”Then, starting from the most left!” Damascus gestured her hands to Foel. ”Is none other than the Vice Director of the Ouranos Citadel herself. Donned in the name of Foel Mirage, she is the master of formation creation and protective layers. Any of you who want to acquire the knowledge of the person who single handedly created the illusionary spell that covered this whole sect, then you know who you wanted to impress.”
”I welcomed each of you with an open arm.” Foel maintained her poker face. ”Lautus Tunguska shall now be your heaven, and heaven rewards the hard working. Until then, I shall be in both places to monitor you all.”
It left a deep and scary impression at the same time. Because all of them know that the Vice Director knows everything that happened within the Citadel. To the names, the birthday, the preference of everyone that had their soul locked within the Ouranos Citadel as a citizen, Foel Mirage knew everything.
At one point in the past, Foel was actually in touch with the disciples before they were nominated as a candidate. Most of their experience with the Vice Director was either fear, creepy, and embarrassing.
All that Foel did was showing them their most kept secret and information, and they suddenly became shocked like a ghost appeared on their face.
This applied to everyone, especially Jojo Lagoon, who had been invited for a small meeting to talk about the secret library that he burned.
Jojo didn't say much, the same as Foel. Ever since, Jojo was terrified of Foel Mirage every time their gaze met.
Damascus then continued her speech, ”The grey-skinned person beside her is also a Hellspawn that came from an Underworld. Someone who didn't pay any tax and then stumbled upon Neamh.” She grinned.
Some of the disciples tried to hold their laughter. The pressure made Tuli flustered like a hot cinnamon.
”Tuli, just call her Tuli because I forgot her last name. Do remember though! She is one of the warriors who held a precious knowledge of Magic Forgery. Any of you were interested in being a versatile blacksmith while shattering the skulls of your enemies and also covering yourself with impregnable defense, she is your Elder. Do you have anything you wanted to say, Tuli?”
Tuli became even more flustered.
”N-no thanks.”
