《A Demon’s Journey》A Demon's Journey

"What do I do now?" Yrellea whispered as she clenched her fists.
When Sargan heard her words, he wanted to help her, and thus, he suggested, "Perhaps its time to cut off the connection with the Governor."
Yrellea shook her head, "No. That would just ruin the Misty Flower Pavillion and put the Governor on my back. At that time, it would be impossible for me to establish this Pavillion here."
"The Governor might even use his influence to ban me from other cities in the Glerian Kingdom. And there is no Governor in the entire Glerian Kingdom that would support me while offending Governor Zaraki, the man controlling one of the wealthiest cities in the Glerian Kingdom."
Yrellea explained why Sargan's idea was rather bad.
Sargan then spoke, "You are right. That does seem bad. And marriage is absolutely no considering your feelings for Boss."
Yrellea glared at Sargan but didn't speak up anything. After all, it was hard to silence the truth.
But Sargan wasn't done. He had more to say. With a brilliant smile on his face, he added, "The Governor wants a marriage between you and his son, but we are against it. What if his intended groom dies, though?"
Yrellea scoffed, "You are planning to kill him? Oh, please. His guards are at least 4 Star Warriors. And one of them is a seasoned 4 Star Warrior at the very peak of the rank. I doubt you can defeat them all."
"If you told that to me a few days ago, I would have agreed to your words. But today, it's different. I dare to say that I can easily kill Minos Zaraki while keeping my identity concealed." Sargan confidently spoke.
This confidence was startling for Yrellea. She got the feeling that he was speaking the truth.
Sargan spoke, "This Labyrinth didn't just grant me treasures. It has greatly increased my cultivation base and bestowed another gift over me. Currently, my cultivation has increased to 4 Star Rank."

Yrellea whispered in shock, "I see… Well, I guess it would be best if you can just kill that guy."
"Yes. However, it's not just my cultivation that will be boosted from this Labyrinth."
Those words only served to confuse Yrellea. Before she could ask what he meant, Sargan added, "Follow me."
Sargan led her to the herbal section brimming with a poisonous aura due to the herbs' decomposition over such a long period.
Sargan added, "Boss mentioned that this will be a perfect place for you to practice your Heavenly Poison Scripture."
Yrellea whispered as she observed the room, "Most of the energy had dissipated back to nature. However, the poison remains behind. I can break through the Heavenly Poison Scripture's next stages using this poison."
"That's correct. I will be outside and wait for you to finish absorbing this poison."
That was all Sargan spoke before leaving Yrellea alone in this Herbal Section.
Meanwhile, Yrellea took a deep breath as she walked to the center of this room. She sat in a cross-legged position and began to chant the Heavenly Poison Scripture underneath her breath.
A colorless aura began to radiate from Yrellea. It soon spread to each and every corner of the room.
This aura tightly held the poison in the room, and when Yrellea was ready, she pulled it towards herself.
The poison in the entire room immediately covered Yrellea's body.
Yrellea felt her body absorbing this poison from all pores of her body. She experienced unbelievable pain while absorbing this poison.
This poison was harmful to her body, so Yrellea's blood rightfully began to fight against this poison and purge it.
However, at that moment, Yrellea's Poisonous Physique activated and prevented her anti-bodies from acting up.
Yrellea's Ardor forced this Poison to flow through her body… Slowly but surely, it was being absorbed and becoming a part of her physique.
Her Heavenly Poison Scripture soon broke through to the second stage.

However, as Yrellea's physique continued to absorb the poison, her Heavenly Poison Scripture broke through to the third stage.
Around the same time, her cultivation broke past the barrier between the 3 Star Rank and the 4 Star Rank.
Just like Sargan, Yrellea was now a 4 Star Warrior.
Her cultivation stopped after reaching the mid-stage of the 4 Star Rank.
In reality, her cultivation would have grown more if so much of Ardor hadn't dissipated away from this poison. Their heavenly energies hadn't been absorbed by the Dark Hearted Eye Flower King.
Yrellea was rather satisfied with her progress.
When she opened her eyes, she left the herbal section soon enough. She noticed that Sargan was actually sleeping in the treasury.
'How long have I been inside?'
She quickly went and shook Sargan's body. He opened his eyes and was slightly annoyed as he wanted to have another hour of sleep.
"How long was I inside?" Yrellea asked the question she was most curious about.
It took some moments for Sargan to regain his consciousness and reply, "…I waited for you for nearly 20 hours before finally succumbing to sleep. It's been 2 hours since I slept."
"Nearly a whole day?!" Yrellea was shocked to hear this, "Send me out of this place. I need to return to Pavillion now!"
"Alright. Alright. Let me take a moment to wake myself up completely." Sargan spoke before slowly standing up.
His eyes were truly tired right now. They had just unlocked another ability by straining themselves greatly, and he was greatly tired due to this reason.
Yrellea was soon teleported out of the Labyrinth.
She returned to her Misty Flower Pavillion. She knew a lot of issues must have piled up by now. Her assistant couldn't handle most of the tasks.
She didn't possess the ability, the experience, or even the respect of her comrades to complete those tasks.
While Yrellea was returning to her Misty Flower Pavillion, Sargan sprinkled some water over his face and left the Labyrinth as well.
He was going in the opposite direction as Yrellea.
It was Ruben Kari's Private Villa where he was headed to. He had promised him that he would hand him the key to enter the Underground Labyrinth after three days.
It was nearly the end of the third day.
The guards tried to stop him, but when he mentioned his identity, the guards let him enter Ruben Kari's Private Villa. They further informed him that he awaited his presence.
Sargan soon met up with Ruben Kari inside his private villa.
It appeared as though Ruben Kari was alone right now. He had ordered his servants to return.
Currently, within the room, Ruben Kari and Sargan stood alone. Ruben Kari had ensured that this talk wouldn't get out of this room. Even his guards were waiting outside the mansion.
"I heard that a special field had formed around this Labyrinth. It harms whoever tries to pass through it. How will I enter the Labyrinth if I can't pass this field?!" Ruben Kari was quite distressed.
He felt as though Sargan had shown him an empty dream.
But soon, Sargan pulled out a red-colored rock from his ring. He spoke with a thin smile, "Rest assured, Ruben. I am a man of my word. Take this rock with you."
Ruben Kari asked with a suspicious look, "Is this the key?"
"Drip your blood over it, and it will connect to you spiritually. Once you enter the range of the Labyrinth, you will immediately teleport inside of it." After saying that, Sargan handed over the rock.
Ruben was shocked and gently held that reddish rock.
"I hope you honor your word then." Sargan extended his hand as he said that.
Ruben smiled and shook his head before replying, "I intend to, friend."

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
