Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Norovïth. (Part 3)

Khallyon is not the only one in being stunned by Krullzure’s question, most Contemporary people are in the same circumstance, after all, they learned the basics about the IGNUS in Tiaone, which should apply to the Old Ones too.

"The IGNUS is what motivates us, a fundamental part of ourselves that we mostly ignore due to the development of our lives, as we don’t have control over them... , Yet, to know your respective IGNUS, all you need to do is check the Fake Tattoos in the internal part of your forearms".

The Rogue Cadet explanation is initially understood by the Old Ones, until he said the last part of his phrase.

Still without lowering her hand, Krullzure makes a new sign, speaking in a low, trembling voice, to not sound ungrateful or impertinent "W-What F-Fake T-Tattoos?".

{Is she serious?!...}

The facial expression of Khallyon deforms itself to denote how flabbergasted is he, as the Rogue Cadet is unable to focus for a couple of seconds.

Shrugging off his surprise, Khallyon returns to his stoic detached attitude, holding his necessity to sigh loudly and fully reclaim his lost mental clarity "Everyone, Left Arm extended with the palm oriented to the sky".

Not understanding the context, several Cadets are reluctant to obey.

On the other hand, a few Contemporary Cadets, along Instructors Londra, they fulfill the order to the letter, just like Urrein Rwöllmör does, setting for everyone else an example to follow.

"Now bend your elbow at a ninety degree angle, close your left hand into a fist, while your right hand holds the left wrist, bringing the thumb and ring fingers together, In that position, rotate your grip forty five degrees to the right, stop, and slide your hand down, This will reveal your Fake Tattoos, repeat the process on your right arm and there you will be able to see your IGNUS next to your WORK, with sufficient practice, you should be able to make visible or occult the Fake Tattoos with a fleeting thought".

Completing the first action, the Old Cadets are surprised, just as the Instructors that are the counterparts of their time.

Continuing with the explanation, the Rogue Cadet mentions the importance of not showing the Fake Tattoos to others, even if it is unlikely that others can see the content of the Fake Tattoos without having prior permission.

{I can’t believe this isn’t common knowledge in the past... , although the IGNUS is basically unknown outside of Tiaone, the Fake Tattoos are not guarded information, even if they are relatively taboo to talk about...}

Finishing the short teaching, Khallyon begins to lead the members of both Exploration Groups, arranging the Formation to start their journey.

Checking his Parent’s Log one last time, the Rogue Cadet gives the order to move out, pointing and explaining clearly, the path that will be followed by the two Exploration Groups, entering in an underground web of massive caverns to avoid the intense sun rays and the hot weather of Norovïth.

20 minutes pass swiftly, until the first real obstacle of the two Exploration Groups appear before them.

A team of three Pulvberion; They are naked and have an Anthropoid appearance, with a beige exoskeleton, bright yellow eyes, absent of noses, and showing large jaws with sharp teeth that have no real purpose, as the Pulvberion’s throats, crush the almost meatless bones they consume, and extract solely the marrow, expelling through their holes, the dusted bones devoid of any remaining tissues.

"Active Punchline, Surround them, don’t let them escape through the flanks"; Khallyon’s order is obeyed, as two pairs of tall beefy Females block the Creatures escape path.

Urrein and Thá’Ïtza cover the left side, while Que’Yïrha and Yi’Onnaisse defend the right escape route.

"Supporting Punchline, advance and Employ solely Åyûrïc Energy against the Pulvberion, avoid melee confrontation if is not enhanced by Nodes, as this Creatures are extremely resilient against pure physical attacks".

Rwük’Nür, Ethreus and Phöwller, create cubic Standard Ammunitions while the Ladies activate their [Åyûrïc Bucklers], waiting for Khallyon to give the expected order.

"Engage!"; The three Young Men fire their shoots, hitting the Pulvberion and showing different results.

Ethreus and Phöwller deal the same damage, striking the chests of the Creatures.

Obviously, Rwük’nür’s precision is superior, just like his Category 7 Singularity, hitting the forehead of the Pulvberion in the middle, piercing the exoskeleton and delivering enough damage to the Creature’s brain to cause erratic behavior, falling to the ground and convulsing uncontrollably.

The two remaining Pulvberion run in opposite directions, being intercepted by Thá’Ïtza and Que’Yïrha respectively.

Both Ladies sweep themselves across the ground to slam their [Åyûrïc Bucklers] into the Creature’s legs, knocking them off balance only for the poor defenseless beasts to receive a powerful [Bashing] from the [Åyûrïc Bucklers] of Urrein and Yi’Onnaisse.

The Pulvberion are sent back by the impacts, landing almost on the same spot of their initial location, allowing the Supporting Punchline to strike again with a new round of cubic Standard Ammunitions.

"Supporting Reinforceline, assist in the elimination of the injured Pulvberion, focusing your attacks on the right side".

Two Blonde Female Elves rise their thick bended wood Wands, Try’Phiel and Krullzure are not different to them, firing together a volley of four [Needleers], striking the beast, but not with enough precision, as only Try’Phiel hits the Pulvberion in the right spot, which is the same place Phöwller has targeted in two consecutive occasions.

Try’Phiel does a displeased grimace, as her peers are not as accurate as her.

Nevertheless, what is more discouraging, is that the [Needleer] has caused less damage than the Cubic Standard Ammunition employed by the Contemporary Cadets, even when Ethreus and Phöwller have a Category 3 Singularity, not a Category 4 Singularity as the Four Eleven Ladies.

{This is unexpected, I was hoping for their Ammunitions to be more effective, I suppose the [Needleer] is better to bypass the [Åyûrïc Field] and to deal a lot of damage to soft tissue... , Maybe if we add a Command, this could be more viable...}
