nMeanwhile, in the Human Realm, the fabric of reality started twisting before it created a void! Then, in a few moments, five individuals wearing cloaks similar to Jin’s group arrived.

nNeedless to say, they were also Time Manipulators… With the Artifacts in their possession, they were able to step through the veil between realms.

nThe surrounding space was filled with temporal energy, and the world seemed to hold its breath as it emerged into the human realm. Just their presence affected the Will of the Human Realm.

nIt showed how they differed from Jin’s group of Time Manipulators!

nThe temporal rift they created was a tear in the continuum, allowing them to traverse vast distances instantaneously.

nAs they stepped through, the very fabric of reality bent and warped around them, creating a ripple effect that momentarily distorted the surroundings. The air even started humming with the residual energy of their passage.

nWasa, the leader, stood tall and imposing.

nHis cloak had very distinct similarities to the ones Jin and his group had worn, but they were simply more golden fabric in it.

n“What a feeble realm… I could barely feel any pure mana in the surroundings. It will be tough to stay here for even a few weeks.” Wasa commented after looking around. His eyes glowed with a cold, blue light, and his silver hair flowed like liquid mercury.

nHe seemed to truly disdain coming here.

n“I think this is quite exciting… If the people here are all weak, then it will be easy… We can just kill as many people as we can to find the Talent that we were looking for…” freёwebnovel.com

nBeside him, Liora, a small figure with blue hair and red eyes, moved around like she was truly excited. Her attire was also similar to that of the leader, who had a blue and gold robe, but it could be seen that she had a rapier with her.

n“I agree, Liora… That would be faster… Anyone we kill with our weapon would have their Talents absorbed anyway… As long as we kill enough people, we will obtain this Talent.” Another said.

nIt was Cyper who was broad-shouldered and muscular. He had skin marked with glowing runes that pulsed with temporal energy. His dark hair was cropped short, and his green eyes scanned the surroundings with a warrior’s vigilance. Among the group, he was the one who had the largest build and seemed more like a warrior instead of a Time Manipulator.

n“Killing is not good… You need to think of the Karma…”

nElysia, on the other hand, had long, flowing black hair. Her robes were certainly custom- made compared to the ones that others are wearing because of how fit it was and how it was revealing several parts of her skin… Nonetheless, she exuded an aura of calm and tranquility. “But the Demon Lord had barely given us a clue… I think that we paid him too much just for telling us the location of the Divine Extractor.”

nIvan, the youngest of the group, spoke with a hint of disappointment after recalling their previous meeting with the Demon Lord…

nAside from the robe, he carried a staff that ultimately closed the tear in the space that they had created in their entry.s

nWasa turned to his companions…

n“We have just arrived. Let’s not cause too much ruckus. Remember that this is a Realm that the Abyss Realm failed to conquer. That alone is enough to respect this land, even for a bit. Furthermore, if this Human Realm holds the Divine Extractor, then we can’t alert the possessor of this Talent, or they might escape or hide deep underground. Even with our skills, it would be difficult to find them.”

nLiora nodded, her eyes blazing. “I was just kidding… Anyway, the Demon Lord’s information better be accurate. We’ve come a long way for this.”

nCyper cracked his knuckles, and the runes on his skin were glowing brighter. “Let’s split up and cover more ground. We can’t afford to waste time.”

nElysia’s voice was soft but firm. “Remember, we must be discreet. The Arcanists cannot know of our presence…”

nIvans grinned, twirling his staff. “I’ll take the northern sector. I’ve always wanted to see the mountains.”

nWasa raised his hand, silencing them. “Spread out and search in different directions. Report through our Mind Network if you find any leads. The Divine Extractor is our priority.”

nWith that, the Time Manipulators dispersed, each heading in a different direction.

nAt this time, Wasa, the leader, set his sights on a large city in the distance.

nIn the meantime, Aubrey Hall was currently in her study, surrounded by ancient tomes and arcane artifacts.

nThe room was dimly lit, but it wasn’t difficult for her to read as a Dark Arcanists.

nShe had been tirelessly researching the Lost Arcane Arts she had recently learned with Vale’s Avatar.

nWith the Avatar’s help, she had uncovered one of the Lost Arcane Arts, but their progress had stalled. The Spirit they had captured only possessed three Spell Models related to the Primordial Chaos Arts, leaving them at an impasse.

n“We’ve hit a dead end, Aubrey,” Vale said. “The Spirit’s knowledge is limited. We need another source.”

nAubrey sighed, closing the ancient tome she had been poring over. “You’re right,” she replied. “But where do we go from here?”

nBefore they could ponder further, a message arrived-a request for Aubrey’s expertise in a neighboring town plagued by paranormal activities.

nAnyway, since they had nothing to do for now, they decided to check on this incident.

n***

nEldergrove was an old-fashioned town nestled in a valley… The steam-powered train hadn’t even reached this area yet…

nAfter asking around, they confirmed that almost everyone knew about the mission they

nreceived.

nThe townsfolk spoke of strange occurrences-ghostly apparitions, objects moving on their own, and an unsettling presence that seemed to permeate the air.

nAubrey and Vale’s Avatar arrived at dusk. During this time, the sky was painted in hues of

norange and purple.

nThey were soon greeted by the town’s mayor, a portly man with a nervous demeanor.

n“Thank you for coming,” he said, wringing his hands. “We need your help. The townsfolk are

nterrified.”

nIt was actually the mayor who had personally requested a Paranormal Expert! However, as soon as they arrived, a group of white-robed individuals had also arrived!

nIt seemed that even the Priests were alerted!

n“Ho~ What do we have here… A freshly graduated Paranormal Expert?! Hahaha!”
