Chapter 15 - ritual

Seeing Adam surprised expression Angoulome continued. When u came here and requested to join the choir this theory was confirmed only sun pathway beyonders will feel the urge to sing and praise the sun. but it still doesn't make sense. High sequence beyonders of the sun pathway are able to purify beyonder characteristics from a person's body. This makes your situation a bit strange.

Angoulome paused for a second then continued. If you haven't drank any potion before then both your parents had excess beyonder characteristic that you received from birth.

What Angoulome meant was that the excess beyonder characteristics of the sun should've naturally expelled the spectator beyonder charactistics or could it be possible that Adam's parents caused this intentionally to produce an dual pathway beyonder of neighboring pathways?. That's if he can consume sequence potions from each pathway.

Perhaps they weren't on a high level and were only mid sequence beyonders when Adam was born.

With this thought Angoulome said. "I'll see what I can do about your request for the savant potion formula.

Adam nodded and thanked the deacon in appreciation, before he stood up and walking towards the door.

Adam then recalled something and was contemplating whether to tell the deacon about the honorific name he had learned from the book. He decided against it and left the deacon's office. He didn't have anything else to do this early in the morning so he made his way to him room.

He opened the door only to realize that the room was empty, Adrian was not inside.

I didn't see him during the mass. Maybe he had something urgent to do. Adam guessed.

 

Since Adrian's not here it's the perfect time to try out that honorific name.

Adam then took the book from his worn-out clergyman robe and silently reread the process of the ritual step by step to now make a rookie mistake.

He didn't of any materials that could please the entity this honorific name belongs to, so he gently picked up his own clergyman robe and placed it right on the ground. He decided to circle around the cloth.

Alright, so I walk in a circle when reciting the honorific name in Hermes language and see what happens. Yeah this is no way dangerous. Adam sighed as he dropped the book on the table, and then slowly walked towards the center of the room.

With a deep breath, he stood just in front of where he had placed the tattered robe, he hoped that the entity might recognized it and him possibly and give him a revelation or guideance. He took a slow step forward and went in a clockwise direction in the shape of a circle.

When he took the first step, he chanted in ancient Hermes, "the witness of all eras."

The second step, he continued "The law that walks through light and ruin."

 The third step,he whispered "the silent architect who records the end."

At the forth step, he tightened his posture and meditated in concentration. "the one who stands before time is forced to decide"

When he returned to his original spot, Adam closed his eyes and calmly waited for and outcome. He had some anticipation in him, some unease, some hope, and some fear.

Will the ritual actually work?

What will be the repercussions of this ritual?

Adam's thoughts were swirling in his head and he was finding it difficult to quell it.

It was at this time that he suddenly felt the surrounding air seem to slow, becoming thick and oppressive.

Immediately after, a low whisper could be heard beside his ears that sounded at times real, at times sharp and piercing, at times maniacal, and at times crazy.

He clearly didn't understand the murmurings that went on, but Adam could help himself from listening and to grasp what it was saying.

His head was in pain again. It was so painful his body began to convulse and tremble uncontrollably. 

Adam kairon only felt like his head was going to explode. In his head fragments of vision or perhaps memories appeared in his mind each appeared so fast that it appeared as psychedelic colors.

He tries to open his mouth and call for help from anyone close enough to hear his plea. However, he wasn't even able to complete such an act.

His entire body was getting more and more brittle and stiff like he could just shatter into shards of glass at any moment. At this time a thought flashed passed his mind:

why did I have to do the ritual.

He gritted his teeth and pushed through the pain of his quaking body. Just before he was about to fall unconscious, the murmurings of voices and the myriad of visions that appeared on his head began to dissipate quickly. His mind began to settle down.

He then began to slowly open his eyes, was no longer difficult anymore.

Bright light appeared over his eyes--- dazzling, brilliant and endless.

What is this place? Adam suddenly looked around him and then lowered his head down to only to discover that he was standing at the edge of an apparently endless white room.

The white room was bright white and was filled with lots of differently colored stars each of the stars bared their own unique radiant colors and shapes. There was sense of them being too close and yet too far.

At the center of the white room there was a circular lake that seemed out of place with the bright light that were present from all corners of the space.

Adam was not dazzled by the lights. After he had followed the instructions of the ritual of the note he believed belonged to his parents, he no longer had any doubt this place must be related to him in some way.

As he walked around in this white room that sparkled with dazzling light, he noticed that he was glowing as well. He shone with a golden hue which was different from the surroundings which was pure white light.

Adam walked towards the out of place circular lakes that seemed to glow with a vibrant blue color that reflected in Adam's eyes, as he came closer, he noticed a stone slab just lying there at the end of the pool of water.

As he drew closer he was immediately halted by an unknown force, as though he was restricted from taking a closer look, he pried further into the stone he read a glimpse from the strange slate.

The savant pathway has authority over machinery, knowledge and…

Before Adam could glimpse the white space experienced a sudden change.

Whoom

The bright white room expanded in all directions, the still blueish water as well as the slate that was behind gradually distanced itself as the white room continue to expand.

Due to the disorientation and the quick expanse of the white room, Adam lost his balance and mistakenly touched one of the stars that sparkled all over the room. In that instant the star exploded into particles of bright red light it appeared to ignite and burned as it continued to expand rapidly.

Adam got an intense fright from it. He retracted his left hand in a panic and opted to end this event, only to accidentally touch another blazing starlight.

As a result, this star burst with radiant light as well.

in turn, Adam felt his mind surge all of a sudden and his spirit slightly dissipated.

In the Loen Kingdom's capital, Backlund. Inside a shabby looking apartment at the western borough.

Ignatius black sat on a slightly worn out chair. The room he was in was so poorly arranged as books and other materials were scattered all over.

 

Where am I going to find the rest of the materials"?

I have already finished digesting the seer potion, and I still can't find any beyonder groups to join.

I should not have chosen the seer pathway, its too weak and doesn't offer much other than divination and I had to buy a spirit pendulum to properly use my ability. And my next sequence is clown what a joke.

He tried to calm himself arguing that being a seer didn't pose any serious danger to his life and he had just been using his abilities to earn money in a divination club and became quite popular among the others.

After mulling it over he calmed his emotions and said in a mild tone. "my brother told me that the Evernight goddess's church has a few sequence potion formulars of the seer pathway, but I'm not an official beyonder and don't want to be restraint by the church. Let me just try and divine for danger if I seek their assistance in this".

He then took out a spirit pendulum that was an azure blue in color and decided to divine for a way to find the potion formula for his next sequence. As he began to divine. The pendulum suddenly began to glow with a crimson light that enveloped him completely.

In underground trier, deep inside the area that normal people were prohibited from visiting,

Atur Sanson young man of medium build who cloaked himself in a hoodie walked slowly in the cave of underground trier while holding a candle wax as the only light source.

 

Seriously, why am I the one heading to this treacherous place, if it wasn't for the discovery of that ancient scroll I found, I wouldn't even have agreed when I was asked to search this ancient ruin.

He kept walking closer, remaining vigilant about any lurking dangers that could resurface at any moment. He had heard of the dangers from his father, but he still didn't believe that lighting a candle would repel the hidden evils in here.

He walked slowly not wanting to miss anything that could contain spiritual or a powerful artifact lost to time. It would be an ancient relic from the forth or even third epoch. People always came to underground trier to explore, few dared to excavate the place for hidden and precious materials buried in dirt.

Atru took a breath and continued exploring the area,until he reached a location with strangely engraved carving etched on the wall . Atur placed the candle wax on the wall attempting to read it, but he couldn't it was in a language he could not understand.

He sighed and decided to continue moving at this time a vibrant and errie glow emanated from the interior of the dark robe, he immediately removed the object that glowed.

It was the scroll he had discovered in a previous exhibition, but it had never glowed before.

Is it glowing due to some reaction?

At that moment, the blue light burst appeared in the space between the scroll on his hand and the surface of his arm, in an instant, it had enveloped the surrounding as well.

In the dazzling bright room, ignatious Black, regained his sight, he started reckoning the situation in a state of horrow and confusion when he noticed the illusory image of a man doing the same as well.

Immediately after, both of them discovered another mystery person standing not far from them who was shrouded in bright gold light.

 

This mysterious person was none other than Adam kairon. He was similarly awed at this development.

Sir, where is this?

Ignatius and Atru were startled at first, falling silent due to weariness and confusion. Then atru still in his black hood that contrasted the area said.

What are you planning on doing?.
