Chapter 29 - Legends of Other Worlds

Atlas needed to visit the Awakener Association Center. It was the place that provided general information for awakeners, including details on Dungeons, Marketplace listings, Auctions, and available mercenary awakeners. Conveniently, it was also near the Guild Center, it was a central hub for organized Awakener Guilds.

He had plans to hold one-on-one conversations with each of his subordinates and decided to start with Karian. So he invited Karian to follow him.

Just as he and Karian were about to head out, someone called his name. Atlas turned to see Lyrassa approaching, her usual warm smile lighting up her face.

“My Lord… may I join you both?” Lyrassa asked politely.

“Yes… of course. Come along,” he replied, then raised an eyebrow. “But you can walk faster, can’t you?”

“Uh…” Lyrassa nodded quickly. “Yes, My Lord. I can.”

Atlas stepped out, with Karian walking at his left side. Lyrassa joined on his right, and, surprisingly, she kept up with an impressive speed he hadn’t expected.

Something felt off, though. Atlas paused, prompting Karian and Lyrassa to stop as well. Lyrassa looked at him, a bit puzzled.

He glanced down and realized she wasn’t walking at all, she was hovering a few inches above the ground, which made her appear slightly taller.

“Can you manage that speed while actually walking?”

She smiled, nodding. “Yes, My Lord, I can.”

They continued on their way, with Atlas adjusting his pace to a more relaxed speed.

“Tell me, Lyrassa, would you mind if I asked about your past… I mean, before you were summoned by me?”

“No, I don’t mind,” she replied in her gentle voice.

“I want to get to know you both better,” Atlas continued. “I know you’ve faced similar challenges to what I’m up against now. This is all new to me, and I believe there’s a lot I can learn from your experiences.”

Lyrassa nodded thoughtfully. “I once had a floating island, much like ours… and I protected it for… 500 years.”

Atlas was taken aback, casting her a surprised glance as they stepped into the elevator. Five hundred years?

“I was a Rank 7 - Champion, before tragedy befell my island, my Lord.”

“Champion?!”

Atlas recalled Edrik’s speculation that Morganna might have been at least an Overlord, Rank 8, in her previous world. If the System classified Morganna as an Exclusive Rank-S Character and Lyrassa as a Standard Rank-S, then Edrik’s theory held weight.

“Protecting a floating island and surviving countless battles for 500 years.” Atlas repeated, still trying to wrap his mind around everything this Nature Spirit had endured.

“The people I was meant to protect… they perished…” Lyrassa’s voice grew softer.

“Did you lose to another Lord, Lyrassa?”

Lyrassa shook her head. “I won my battles by defending my island. I grew my island from the rewards the system granted me,” she explained. “But one day, an Arcane-grade Beast attacked my island.”

“Arcane-grade?!” Karian interjected.

Lyrassa nodded slowly.

“Wait, an Arcane-grade beast?” Atlas echoed in surprise. “So far, we’ve only encountered up to Legendary-grade beasts here: Common, Rare, Elite, Epic, Unique, and Legendary.” He paused, putting the pieces together. “Legendary is the highest we’ve seen so far.
