《Era: Dawn of the New Gods》Chapter 53: Raid 5
Advertisement
Mira planted her feet in the ground to stop herself from flying further. She felt the energy around her change as the genius launched another of its weird attacks; it was easier for it now that she was closer.
Mira activated her boots again and let the aura explosion carry he toward the genius. An explosion happened where she had just been but she was now flipping through the air toward the genius as she didn’t have time to correct her stance when she used the skill.
She activated Havoc’s aura blade skill and unleashed a flurry of attacks at the genius. The genius blocked the attacks successfully as the aura slashes slowed down before stopping and fizzling out completely before reaching it.
As she landed a javelin flew toward the genius, her team was already heading to where she was. She turned to the genius and unleashed a flurry of throwing knives at it. The knives sailed through the air before stopping and falling to the ground.
A ball of heat and light, the size of a basket ball formed at the side of the genius, facing Mira’s group. The genius’s ball of light swiftly sailed toward Mira, getting bigger along the way.
Mira holstered Tranquil Day, held her right palm in a fist, in front of her chest as black aura gathered at her gauntlets and drew her arm back toward her left shoulder. When the ball was close enough it was already big enough to swallow a car, melting the ground as it approached.
Mira swung her arm and with a bang the ball was deflected by a wall of black aura that formed and flew back toward the genius. The genius focused its control on the ball trying to resist the force that sent its own attack toward it.

While it did this a javelin fell from above heading toward the center of its head, it ordered the horse to move away and the horse swiftly shifted to the right, away from the ball.
The genius gained control of the ball before either Mira’s team or the ball got to it; it sent the ball back toward Mira’s team who were directly behind the ball. Theo shouted from behind Mira’s team charge “36.4 DEGREES!” Mira understanding his message redirected the ball exactly 36.4 degrees away from the genius toward the glaive wielding prodigy that was in a losing fight against Deji’s team without the genius’s help.
On seeing the ball heading toward his team Deji timed the impact, judging by the actions of Mira’s team and the genius. He told his team mates “We fully retreat in 1.4545 seconds”. The team engaged the prodigy as the genius struggled in to get its ball under control. The paragon’s horse was on the brink of death and it had lost an arm and a leg during the short period when the genius stopped assisting it with explosion attacks and defends.
A javelin, 5 throwing knives and 12 aura slashes headed the genius’s way and it gave up on redirecting the ball and defended against the attacks. Deji’s team, fully retreated, just early enough for them to escape the ball and too late for the prodigy to escape.
The ball hit the prodigy, it compressed and exploded and the prodigy was vaporized leaving just some bones and ash behind. Deji’s team ran toward the genius, he had looked at the other team and he noticed they were winning without the genius helping the prodigy.
Deji fired bolt after bolt with his continuous fire crossbow. The genius turned its horse around and had it run at maximum speed in an effort to escape; it knew it had lost the battle. It focused on defense trying to keep itself alive.

Seeing its behavior Mira stood directly behind the fleeing genius and prepared herself for a special attack; she crouched low ,one leg forward and the other leg backward, raised the hand that was holding Havoc back and over her head as yellow and blue aura gathered at Havoc’s blade and yellow aura gathered at her legs.
Her legs shined with yellow aura that was on the verge of being activated and she blasted off. With a bang she disappeared from where she was and appeared a few meter away, in the air, with the hand that was holding Havoc being raised forward above her head.
A giant blue aura slash sailed through the air from the end of her axe. The aura slash flew at a blinding speed and split the genius and its horse vertically into two despite its defenses. The genius and the horse’s halves fell sideways and Mira landed on the ground, her energy spent.
The other team was on the verge of beating their prodigy when Deji’s team changed direction and helped them, sealing the prodigy’s fate. The Rank 4s swiftly gathered the bodies of the undead and ran away as the low Rank undead pointlessly gave chase.
The Rank 4s reached the rendezvous point and met the lower Ranks and the Rank 3s. Deji ordered a return back to the sanctuary and the army marched.
During the march Deji frowned in thought ‘What type of person created such weapons?’ as he remembered Mira’s performance. He had only seen such fighting capabilities in games, her armor had more skills than he had imagined and seeing the way she used it showed him that she had enough practice with those skills.
‘What was that black aura? How did she create the explosions with the yellow aura? There are so many questions. If everyone can get such weapons and armor we would be unstoppable…’ He paused for a moment ‘It’s my fault, I need to work harder to make better weapons for the sanctuary, I will make the sanctuary a place where energy skills are common place…’ He smiled as he remembered the genius’s skills ‘Oh I also need to find out how the genius performed its attacks; I think we just discovered magic.’

The Way Ahead
What do you do when you don't fit in? Edwin never really felt many connections to other people, but as a physics student, that was fine. He didn't really need it, anyway. He was content to peel back the mysteries of the universe... not that there were many left to find. Modern-day research was just too well-established, too well-trodden for any single enthusiast to make any significant headway. But that doesn't apply to other worlds. Not ones where magic and Skills run rampant, where well-defined roles and Classes dominate much of society with little room for novel experimentation from its residents. That kind of world would be perfect for an overeager, newly-minted Alchemist to make his mark. Things are never that easy, though. The Way Ahead is a very slice-of-life story following the story of someone trying to find his place in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. Expect lots of science, lots of alchemy, a few sarcastic quips by the System, and lots of exploration involving the world, self-discovery, and above all, science. After all, further research is always required. Updates every other day at 9 AM PST. Congratulations! For writing a story during the month of November, you have unlocked the Royal Road Writathon Participant path!

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
