The Cursed Paradise (Edentia Online)

Chapter 13

I left the [Gemova] city, also left the traitor alone. I cried a little, the watery eyes blurred my sight. Then a player bumped at me. She's a girl with long braided white hair, with blue armor plate, a blue tunic, and a pair of metal boots.

"Ah, I didn't see you there." she rubbed her chin. "Sorry I rushed for guild registration..hehe.."

"Wow, which guild ?" I hope it's not that terrible guild.

"You don't know ?" I shook my head "It's [One sky] guild, the biggest guild here..well it seems like I lost my way."

"Where is it ? maybe I could help" I quickly opened the map.

"[Aeneist] castle.." she shrugged

"I know it, let's go." I dragged her hand, the path that leading to the castle were covered by mud.

"Woah look at this castle, huge." she amazed, the castle standing still in the middle of grassy field.

"Yeah it is." I took a glance for a while, the memory still linger in my head, that fight. "Ehm, what's required to assign ?"

"Nothing, just proof that you're a human..oh there's guild training too."

"What kind of training ?"

"I don't know, maybe for classing system.." we queued at the line. Not longer after that, someone poked me.

"Hey Liz.." he called me, I looked around find his sound. "So, you forget me huh ?" he smirked, it was Jotan.

"Jo? so you joined this guild ? Why don't you join the other ?"

"Well this is the first and biggest guild here, you see ? which guild have a castle for settlement ?" he raised his shoulder. "But I'm glad to see you again."

"Yeah, me too.. I wish one day we could partying together." I smiled, the queue almost reached me. "Jo I got to go, bye"

"Goodbye, and good luck for it !" he rushed at the crowd, a man raised a red flag, pointing at a direction. It was the guild training, fight in the hall.

"Yay, were both assigned as one guild." she cheered. "but, I'm not sure that I'm ready for this." she lowered her head. "I can't even fight."

"What do you mean you can't ? look at you, wearing these heavy armour and a big sword. You must be a great fighter."

"Not as great as you..you can have the [Broken keys] piece."

"Eh...is everyone know about it ?" I felt insecure.

"Of course ! it's been on the news forum..." she slapped her forehead, "you didn't read it, did you ?" I shook my head. "My name's Iliia, you're Izvatya right ?" I nodded my head. Then another man raised a red flag, and command us to the hall room.

There are 40 people there, each player separated 3 feets from each other, Jotan stood on my front.

"Pssst, Jo..Jo it's me !" he turned his head back, he waves at me.

"The first test, is a skill test ! be sure that you try your best !" the trainer raised a red flag, then a serial of [White shadow] appeared, "don't worry its been tamed." he said. Everyone prepared their weapon, as the [White shadow] rushed toward us.

"Slicing style ! Flying sword !" Jotan flew above me, just like a shaolin soldier. "I believe I can fly...." he said with a singing tone, in a flash 3 [White shadow]s vanised. "Your turn Iza.." he landed lightly.

"Fire slash !" a wave circle made of fire engulfed the [White shadow]s near me.

"Hey little girl with golden hair !" he shouted, and pointing at me. I raised my hand, "yes you ! didn't you heard what test is it ? it's a skill test ! not elemental !"

"Shut up !" I screamed, "elemental is a skill too ! besides I'm the one who cleared this castle !"

He scrolled at the guild menu beside him, he shocked when he saw my name. "No it couldn't be you," then he saw Jotan and awed.

"Legend.." another player murmured. "hey didn't they who have both of the [Broken keys] piece ?"

"Proof me that you got that key," he opened his palm. I stood up, walk toward him and gave it, surprisingly Jotan also gave the [Broken keys] piece. "Show me your real ability." he raised the flag again, a new army of [White shadow] appeared, they wear a chest armour,and a helmet. "This one haven't been tamed yet, but I'm sure you could handle it."

I fought this one when in the beginning, I put the sword back into its sheath. Jotan flexed his arms, took both of his sword, beckoned me to attack together. The army surrounded us from many directions, leaving no gap among them, things get worse when they tried to clone another shadows. Instead of shocked, I concentrate, trying to release the aura power, closed my eyes for a while. The warmth feel bathed my body, only a slice of aura surrounded my hands. Oh, no ! my stamina has drowned, it must be after fought that man.

"Aura surge !" his body glowed in white aura, "use this one. I hope its enough." he said, his white aura channeled fast, and seeping into my body. The army flew above us, each has a sharp claw as their weapon. "Slicing style ! Flying sword !" he jumped and start to flew, he grabbed one's armour and climbed over it. It gone with a puff. In a flash he swung the sword, moved it in a dazzle. Jotan only cut it's armour, whilst I stood in place, shooting fire balls from my hands. One by one it vanished, leaving electric sparks here and there. Jotan fell slowly, landed lightly in front of me.

The man froze in the place, he saw us and awed, then a clap from other player filled the dull hall. He gave the [Broken keys] piece to us. "That's a great skill ! I never saw two people could cooperate that attack." he said, we blushed a little. "You two follow me !" he raised his flag once more "show's over, continue your test !" other player rolled their eyes.

"Where will we go ?" I asked.

"Go around the castle, so you won't get lost." The man lead us to another place, passed the long hallways, some empty rooms on the left and right. I still remember those place, it was nearby the throne room, but the door has closed with a hologram word "Closed" on it. "Search which classes are you in." he pointed, on the door's right there are the panel screen, the screen showed which classes are we in. I tap the screen with my finger, a search box popped. I typed my name, then it loaded.

"Uhm, we're not in the same class." Jotan scrolled the screen.

"So.. well see you next time," I waved my hand.
