Chapter 69 - The New Executive (2/2)
”A family huh...” Now that he thought about, Aurus did not know what having a family felt like. In his previous life, his parents died early, while the relatives that took care of him only sent him items and money once he grew old enough to live alone.
Letting out a sigh as he placed the thought at the back of his mind, Aurus rolled to where Herellia was.
...
A few minutes later, Aurus was greeted by the sight of Herellia standing beside what seemed to be a magic circle formed by nature as a large crystal in the shape of pyramid hung from the ceiling directly above the circle.
Aurus thought about the placement of the crystal and the magic circle for a bit and asked Herellia not long after, ”I have to stand here to be admitted into the alliance?”
”Mhm,” Herellia let out a cheery aura as she replied. ”Don't worry, this won't hurt you at all, since we don't have any sense of pain anyway.”
”That's true,” Aurus could not help but think that Herellia broke some sort of wall as she said that. Nonetheless, Aurus rolled towards the center of the magic circle and let Herellia do her thing.
”Hey Aurus?” Unexpectedly, Herellia asked Aurus while he was waiting for her to do her thing.
”Yeah?” Aurus replied.
”Do you still remember the hierarchy of members in our alliance?” Herellia asked.
Aurus went silent for a bit before replying with an affirmative aura. ”I do, the hierarchy from lowest to highest are normal members, Executives, Pillars, and you right?”
”Yeah,” Herellia let out a cheerful aura as she heard Aurus' answer. ”I'll be giving you the position of Executive later, I'll tell you why after I introduce you to the other members.”
'Alright then.” Aurus had no qualms with what Herellia said, letting her take the lead.
”Hooh...haah...” After saying what she had to say, Herellia started to breath through her body as her SP radiated outwards, gradually forming a connection with the crystal above the magic circle.
Click.
Not long after, a click sound could be heard as the aura around Herellia intensified by a hundred times. She then looked towards the magic circle where Aurus was standing on and then chanted a few sentences.
”As the leader of the Tempest Branch Alliance, I beseech the gods to heed my call.”
”With the power vested in me by the Deity Crystal, I shall now announce that the being standing on the Magic Circle of Judgement shall be an Executive of the Tempest Branch Alliance, wielding a power incomparable to before.”
”Ariansus Holos Branchii, Exvetibus Grandei!”
Whoosh!
As Herellia was finished chanting, the crystal above the magic circle started to glow faintly. The glow became more and more intense as time passed before shooting out a beam of light towards Aurus' body.
As for Aurus, he did not feel any pain at all. Instead, his vision was filled with extremely white light. This situation lasted for a few seconds before his vision turned back to normal. A few seconds later, a notification sound resounded through his mind as a screen appeared in front of his field of vision.
Ding!
