Rebirth: Over the Horizon

Chapter 108 - Alfuria's Holy Temple

The battle came to an end after slaying the ice elf Queen, the other ice elf's lost their spirit to fight and surrendered.

Even though they were willing to serve him, he can't leave behind a threat.

If someone from the surviving group had the potential to become a ice queen and later if they betrayed him.

It will be pain the ass to deal with, not to say they are all going to be summoned on earth in a month.

"Kill them all leave none behind."

Most of the players disliked this idea but, no one commented or protested.

Adam returned to his guild patrolled the territory which was bustling with tourists and planned to grind on witch's lake.

"Master," Alumig entered his office and said, "Master there are people from Holy Temple of Eaveriel who wishes to see you, my lord."

'Oh...has the system already send the another mysterious NPC because the previous one has went back...'

Adam turned towards Alumig while thinking and said, "Serve them tea, I will come over in a bit."

"As you wish my lord."

In the waiting hall, a young woman wearing saint attire slowly took the beautiful white cup from the table and lightly sipped the coffee from it.

"It tastes good..."

"I think so too."

Commented a old man, he was wearing heavy armours all over his body and a white robe was hanging down from his shoulders.

"But, I still don't know why the high priests in the temple are cornering you."

"This mission is way above our league a d they also only sent a small number of Holy knights to support us, in top of that I am the only holy paladin."

A bitter smile formed on the young girl's beautiful face, "Senior Rufard, Maybe it's the will of the great goddess Alfuria."

"I highly doubt that, Lady Eira."

Their conversation was disturbed by a young man how entered the room by making a low 'creak...'

After seeing him, the young woman named Eira, got up and introduced herself while slightly bowing.

"Hello, I am Alfuria Holy temple's saintess candidate."

"It's nice to meet you, I am Adam crystal Guild-master of Magitaricks."

As both of them introduced themselves, Adam glanced at the knight standing beside Eira.

"Hello, I am escort of Candidate Eira, a paladin from Holy temple of Alfuria."

"Mhm..."

Adam nodded and gestured both of them to take their seats, "So, what can I help you with it."

After clearing his throat with little sound, the paladin named, Rufard began to speak.

"Lady Eira was given to extreminate one of the bases of Children of Nova."

Childer of Nova relatively old religion described by most as a cult.

Their faith, with terms and views borrowed from multiple religions, is focused on the idea that human activity in this world is harmful to the great god Nova.

They focus on killing people and turning them to different undead races and ruling over the captured territories.

Their sole purpose is to extreminate the all the humans from this world.

"We need your help, guild-master of Magitaricks guild, Adam crystal."

[Mission: Exterminate the Child of Nova cardinal of northern base.

Reward: +500 points

Failure: Saint Candidate Eria will be kicked out of the temple and you will recive the warth of Goddess Alfuria]

[Yes/No]

"Yes, I will be gald to help you, but I have to first scout the area can you please tell me the co-ordinates."

"Of course."

Rufard said happily and shared the location but, Eita nodes her head in a daze.

'I didn't know, he will accept this dangerous mission, very easily...'

A warm feeling spread in her heart while she saw the back of the young man disappearing outside the door.

Dry wind passed over the earth. The wind scattered sand throughout the desolate wilderness.

It caused the sand to spin in the air and fall all over the horizon; some pieces landed on nameless plateaus, some hit spiky rocks, and some even landed on small shrubs.

The only vegetation that this place had were a few small shrubs scattered across the earth.

In this area, farming was impossible, and game was scarce. In this desolate wilderness, three people on sky began to appear.

It was Adam, Alumig and Amelia.

"Why the chose to plant their base on such a trashy place."

Amelia said as she lightly landed on the ground.

Adam lander next to her and said, "Why is not this place looks suitable for a evil organization like them."

"That's true, but Adam, is it really true that the branch of the Nova is here?"

The reason why Amelia tagged along with Adam was she had received quite similar mission from a old granny.

The old granny was a priest in one of the temple's of godess Alfuria, her mission was to destroy a evil book which Nova got from her town.

"According my research, people of Nova wouldn't build their place in sheltered places because Nova is God of dark star, they mostly prefer open grounds or barren lands."

After second looking at the view before her, Amelia spoke again, "For that reason, whenever I thought of searching clues for Nova people I started my investigation from open lands or rural areas."

"It's slightly unbelievable...that my efforts have been wasted."

"We just have to go a little further."

While digesting the information provided by Amelia, Adam started moving.

Likewise, with a hopeful heart, Amelia followed him. Not long after, they reached the entrance of a deep canyon.

To their sides, steep cliffs stretched on without end and big rock stood before them.

The rock was about four or five times bigger than an average person, and even though harsh winds were pressing against the rock, it stood firm.

However, the rock was not the important part. It did not matter when and how long the rock could endure the harsh climate of its surroundings.

What Adam was interested in was the hole underneath the rock.

He pointes the hole and said, "This is it."

The size of the hole was pretty big. It was big enough for one person to stand and walk.

Alumig bent his knees and looked around the ground. It was hard to tell, but the top of the stone floor was slightly worn out.

"My Lord, I also think we have reached the destination."

"We have to be careful from now on. This is their home base."

Adam said and both of his subordinates nodded and the trio entered the gloomy hole.
