MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 244: Melted Souls



With flames raging in almost every corner of the Imperium City, the fights became very frequent, and there was barely any street that wasn't a battlefield.

However, the roads that led to the Royal Palace were empty and quiet.

By the gates of the Royal Palace, Imperial Order's gold knights stood guard, and not a single faction was crazy enough to attack them right now.

Currently, the fights were participated in by the foot soldiers alongside a few leaders of

squads. It was because every faction was keeping their strongest forces reserved for the upcoming fights.

When the factions finally released their strongest members, the Imperium City would cease to exist, and it wasn't in the best interest of the factions to destroy such a valuable asset.

They were also afraid of King Moriarty making a move.

He was a person that no one wanted to fight yet.

...

The Holy Room.

Adam sat in a meditative stance. He could feel his Kiryoku and Magick were about to level up, but there was something missing.

'Maybe this ceremony allows me to do advance in Kiryoku and Magick.'

He thought, but at that moment, someone big-chested hugged him on the back and planted kisses all around his neck.

Feeling ticklish, Adam turned around at Lady Yu, who was grinning mischievously. She had become quite clingy after their sexual experience, and Adam wasn't quite sure how to handle

it.

Thump...

In that moment, they heard some very distant sound, and it seemed to come from ground above them.

Lady Yu looked to the ceiling and sadly said, "Is it the war?"

"Yes." Adam sighed. "They seem to be fighting near the cathedral as well. It looks like the first battle of the war is reaching its final stages."

"Mm..." Lady Yu hugged him tightly and said, "Are you sure you want to go out there? It will be a graveyard of strong warriors by the time it's all over."

"Mm, I have to." Adam said. "I gave my promise to my uncle. That's why I need this ceremony to succeed. I need strength."

"Alright." Lady Yu smiled and put her hands on his back. "Close your eyes."

"Mm?" Adam didn't question her and closed his eyes.

She closed her eyes and mumbled something under her breath.

A golden light left her hands and entered Adam's body through his back. It looked like a holy light straight from the heavens, and he could feel warmth spreading through his body.

"What was that?" he asked.

"Power of Holiness." She said with a giggle. "It purifies your body, mind, and soul. That should help you to do the final leap to enlightenment."

"Enlightenment?" Adam looked at her in surprise. "I can do it right now?"

"If you focus really hard!" She said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Adam closed his eyes.

He remembered when he found the pill of enlightenment that allowed him to do the final leap to learn Kiryoku.

He didn't know any other locations of enlightenment pills, so he thought that would be the only time he had a chance to experience it, but now, with Lady Yu's help, it became a possibility once again!

With his mind going dark, Adam's body relaxed significantly, and just like that, he entered his state of enlightenment.

Within an instant, his mana ocean started pushing against gray gate. It was the only thing separating him from level 3 Magick.

Meanwhile, his Kiryoku inched closer and closer to third level.

The third level was already extremely high for Kiryoku, and it would allow him to dodge every attack purely out of instinct, and he could sense auras of pretty much everyone in a small city.

It wasn't something that every magician could learn, and since Adam had already reached this level in a year, it was extremely impressive.

Lady Yu watched with a smile.

While she was able to help people get closer to the enlightenment, it was another thing entirely to actually do it.

Since he was able to do it so easily, it said a lot about his level of talent-a level of talent that even he didn't seem to be aware of.

The waves of the mana ocean crashed against the gray gate and made it creak open. It was enough for some of the water to seep through, and as soon as that happened, the rest of the ocean just flowed through, smashing the gate open.

Third level achieved!

His Magick strength increased drastically.

However, he didn't stop there and focused on expanding his mind further and further.

Previously, he couldn't extend his mind beyond the Holy Room, but now he was able to do so. He could see auras through the walls, even though his eyes were closed, and he could sense the emotions and thoughts of those around him with ease.

Since there was only one person around, he tried sensing Lady Yu's emotions but had to quickly stop doing so because her emotions were extremely heavy.

A very, very intense love and obsession that stopped his breath for a moment.

However, it was clear now that his Kiryoku had also achieved a new level.

Third level in Kiryoku achieved!

Adam softly opened his eyes and let out a deep breath.

With third level in Kiryoku, he was far more confident in surviving through the war.

Ba-dump!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ba-dump!

In that moment, both of their hearts started skipping a beat before returning to a steady

rhythm.

Their bodies turned hot and warm as their souls started melting with each other.

"It's happening!" She shouted with a smile and hugged him behind. "Embrace the feeling. Our souls are finally connecting, which means we're in the ending phases of the ceremony!" "Why so suddenly?" Adam asked in shock.

"I don't know; I am new to this!" She said. "Just enjoy the moment and embrace it. This'll take some time; it could be a day, but it will be worth it in the end!"

"Mm." Adam closed his eyes and embraced the feeling.

...

The forest rumbled and shook like an earthquake had hit.

The massive, shadowy snake moved and squeezed its massive body around the mountain. The

mountain cracked and shattered.

After a moment, the creature finally opened its eyes after the slumber, and as soon as it did,

dark clouds gathered across the skies.

Shh~

With a strange sound, the creature took flight and went straight through the dark clouds. The

dark clouds parted like a curtain, the sun brightly shining through, but then dark clouds started moving away, following the dark creature like a shadow.

...

In the grand balcony of the Royal Palace.

King Moriarty looked over to the horizon. He saw some dark clouds as if a storm was

gathering there, looking ominous and threatening.

If it was an ordinary rainstorm, he wouldn't feel anything except insignificance, but now he

felt like something dangerous was heading in their way.

'What the hell is that?'

He leaped off the balcony and landed on top of a large-bladed sword. The sword was flying somehow, suspended in the air by unseen forces.

With the flying blade, Moriarty flew out of Imperium City and headed in the direction of the

incoming storm.

However, when he neared it, a lightning bolt shot through the dark clouds like an angry god descending from the heavens.

Moriarty touched the lightning bolt with his hand, and absorbed it into his hand as if he were

a lightning rod.

"You!"

An angry scream sounded above the dark clouds.

Moriarty's ears started bleeding, and his eyes widened in surprise.

At that moment, a shadowy tail swung through the dark clouds and smashed into Moriarty,

sending him crashing into the ground.

The ground shattered, flipped around, and swallowed him whole.
