Chapter 52: The Quest To Save Eryndor 2
Kelvin’s blade sliced the wyrm’s flank, Xerion’s flames weakened its core, and the construct dissolved. Torren’s nod was grudging but clear. "Your bond is strong, but a rogue beast is no construct so be ready."
Lyra approached with her amulet glowing faintly as she said. "You are sharp, Kelvin. We will be nearby if you need us."
Darius grinned, tossing a soulstone and said. "Yeah, don’t be a hero if it is too much, man."
Kelvin nodded with his heart pounding with a mix of fear and determination. "I will call for help if I need you."
------------
After the drill, Kelvin stood at the Obsidian Spire with his pack slung over his shoulder. His pack is filled with soulstones, rations and the suppression rune.
Master Kaelus awaited, his void panther prowling silently. Kaelus’s voice was low but commanding. "The rogue beast is a Level 7 Abyssal Ravager, a wolf-like creature warped by the Veil.
It’s terrorizing Eryndor is beyond the Sanctum’s wards. Subdue it and kill it only if you must. Your bond with Xerion is your strength, but your Novice rank is your weakness. Prove that you are more."
Kelvin’s gauntlet flared and Xerion’s fire surged. "I am ready, Master."
Kaelus nodded and said. "Take the eastern path through the Veil’s edge. A flat bottom boat awaits to cross you over the Mist moor. Go."
Kelvin turned with Xerion at his side and left the Sanctum’s gates, the weight of the mission was a fire in his chest. The eastern path goes through jagged cliffs, the air were growing colder as the Veil’s influence deepened.
