Chapter 17: [Ancient Language!]

Once again, I found myself in the same room as before.

But this time I had an additional gift with me…

[You have learnt a New Language! Ancient Language: Pristinea!]

[Congratulations on getting the knowledge of your first Ancient Language!]

[+ 2 All Stats!]

"Well… with this, I believe I could more or less stand a chance against the monsters," I mumbled as I then began stretching a little while I waited for the time to pass again.

While I could have started changing things from now on, I was a little too greedy here. I wanted to know more about the Ancient Language. Gain more power. More experience.

I almost couldn't contain the smile I had on my face. It was really hard to wait for 2 and a half hours doing nothing. But time passed, albeit slowly, and Mira stood up once again. I followed her once again. We reached the center of the town once again.

And Amelia began chanting once again.

"Oh Lord Miraka. I am elin bua of your birth lisi. If I can dlie, I will take…" Amila kept chanting while I silently listened to her.

The percentage increased by only 5% this time…

[You Have Died!]

Another 2% next time…

[You Have Died!]

And finally the last 1%...

[You Have Died!]

The rewards of reaching 25% were rather nice!

[+10 Wisdom!]

[+15,000 Exp!]

[+10% Affinity with Dark Magic]

[+Skill: Dark Fire of Hell!]

I died about a few more times, before I realized that the max comprehension I could have right now is 27%. That was a limit.

"But still… Just who in the world is Amelia? Is she a bastard child of Miraka or something? How does she know the Ancient Language?" I realized that the situation might be a bit more dire than what I had anticipated.

[Dark Fire of Hell (Common)!]

[Effect:

-Create a ring of dark fire around the user in a radius of 5 meter

-Damage 1% per second

Cost: 50 MP/seconds

Requirements:

-Dark Magic affinity at least 20%

-Minimum Wisdom: 50

Remark: Highly effective against Heretics and Immoral Beings. Almost no effect towards a pure being.]

As for the [Wisdom] Stat, it wasn't really useful now for anything except elemental resistance and affinity, but when the skills will be upgraded to [Rare] or higher, its true effect will be shown.

[Wisdom: 39 ->50!]

[Free Attribute Points: 2]

"Now that I am more or less stronger, let's test the powers out," I mumbled as I picked up the dual blades from Mira and began moving down the stairs.

One step at a time, I reached near the reception area just like in my first turn.

"Mr. Adam?" Amelia spoke, just like in the first turn, confused as last time. Her eyes looked at me, trying to understand how come I didn't sleep like the others.

[Name: Amelia

Level: ???

HP: ???/???

MP: ???/???]

[Fiend of the Netherrealm!

And just like before, the other two monsters were behind her as she asked,"how come you are awake?"

"I shouldn't be?" I asked with a smile as I added,"though… what are those monsters behind you? Who are you, Miss Amelia?"

"That is not important," Amelia said as she raised her hands and 3 red coloured fire balls formed in the air before they came at me at a rapid speed.

-Whoosh!

Dashing directly towards them, I ducked a little, dodging those fireballs before I almost reached Amelia.

-Clank!

But my attack was stopped by one of those black monsters, using its skeletal arm to block my attack. I saw Amelia moving for another attack, so I jumped back with all my strength, creating some distance between us.

By the time I landed away, the fireballs were already at me, just a few inches away from me.

[Frenzy!]

Using my increased speed, I dodged it before circling around the area as I tried to reach them again. The two monsters repositioned themselves as they protected Amelia from me.

My eyes locked onto the monsters now as I ran towards them.

'Let's finish them off first,' I decided in my heart as I reached towards one of the monsters…

-Slash!

[-50 HP]

But I felt a sharp pain in my back as I found the other monster behind me.

"??!!"

Wasn't it just infront of me? How come it's behind me now?

-Slash!

Not wasting the chance, the monster at the front attacked me too..

[-70 HP]

-Thud!

I was still alive as I fell on the ground, my eyes looking concentrated at Amelia, who slowly moved towards me, her fingers pointed on my forehead.

"That was rather fun. But I guess it's time to say goodbye, Mr. Adam," she said before…

[Dark Fire of Hell!]

A dark fire was created around me in a circle, crossing the two monsters and Amelia… and before I knew it…

"AAAAAA!!!!!" The fire burnt those monsters and Amelia at a rapid speed. Perhaps because the fire was especially effective against heretics, they felt extreme pain in that fire. As they burned down to the ground.

Sadly, it will only be active for 20 seconds before the mana runs out, so I got a small window frame…

Standing up barely, I positioned my dagger and

-Stab!

-Stab!

Stabbed Amelia in her chest near the heart. Once, twice… I did at least a dozen stabs until I heard a noise…

[You have killed a Dark Being: The last pupil of the Dark God Miraka's child!]

Dozens of notifications rang in my ear as I sat on the floor with a dumbfounded expression as I looked at the dead Amelia. She was… the pupil of Amir? THAT FUCKING MANIAC AMIR, the seventh child of Miraka!!!

My eyes widened in realization as now most of the pieces connected. But it was bad…

"Who dares lime my pIne aou?" A voice reverberated in the air as the mana became at least 10 times denser than before… I fell on the ground, with my body barely being able to hold the pressure.

[Language Proficiency +1]

"Alibe kill you. You insect! I WILL KILL YOU!!" The sound echoed in my ears like loud drums, burning my insides while I lost control of [Dark Fire of Hell!]. The monsters should now be able to kill me.

[Language Proficiency +1]

The voice was probably of Amir. And if I am not wrong, the real name of Amelia is… Ameliana Reidsa Lurentze, the Future Saintess of the Dark Witch Church. She wasn't just Amir's pupil, she was his wife.

Killing her is the worst possible mistake I could have made right now…

"Bring him here. I want to liea limb by limb anie outlaw mawou," he kept speaking in Ancient Language. The pain kept resonating throughout my body as he continued speaking.
