An afternoon at Heilig kingdom.

The light of the day called VinLux and the void of the night known as Necumbra duels again.

The evening's green light is nearly visible

It reminds everyone regarding the frustration of a group of sorcerers...

That attacked the king's castle at the center of the kingdom

Happened a day before the present.

In just a day,

The castle seemed to be repaired and is almost to be seen without a scar of destruction.

There are men outside the castle investigating the area.

The Strategic council of Heilig Kingdom

And it's Head Officer,

Cynth Villsburg.

"Trace every kind of magic those sorcerers used in this field."

Geared personels are scattered around the terrain.

Some uses a higher quality of Shardsoul to sense remaining mana in the field.

Others used Orbsorb, a very expensive item that is made from the pearl of a Grimm Clam, to absorb and identify the magic being used.

It also dispells any kind of trap magic being left by the sorcerers to avoid any casualties.

"Here are the datas we gathered sir Cynth!"

One of the men said as he pulled out a moonscroll, an item used to record mana that a shardsoul and an orbsorb traced.

It indicates a color that corresponds to the type of magic converted from mana.

"Hmmmm Only four varieties of colors means..."

Cynth said as the scroll unfolds,

Showing four kinds of color.

"It means four kind of magic is used."

He added.

"But isn't there six of them that we've captured?"

The men with the moonscroll asked.

Cynth closed his eye's and took a deep breath and said.

"Earlier, we confiscated

two mana wands,

two synthetic rods,

one arch staff,

one synthetic artillery,

And a scale knife..

A total of seven weapons being used.

Each of the seven weapons we got have identical magic to each of the six sorcerers we captured

EXCEPT

the scale knife.

We can't trace any signs of magic to the item

So we should assume that the user of this scale knife is not a sorcerer."

The man folds the moonscroll and asked.

"What does it mean?"

"Some of them have identical magic.

One of them escaped, and he's not just an ordinary person to deal with.

I can see his actions just by knowing the scent of this item."

Cynth said.

Cynth Villsburg is known for his inhuman ability.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

His SENSE of smell is uncomparable to anyone.

This kind of ability is said to be a gift of the ruler of the night,

Necumbra

Along with other senses:

Sight

Feel

Hearing

Taste

This ability is called SENSOMA

Bizzare and rare to be wielded by humans because it commonly was an attribute of ancient creatures and powerful monsters known as

POTENTS.

"The evening's green light"

Cynth said as he sighed.

"Area investigation will continue tomorrow,

It's getting difficult to use mana with this green light sky,

We have to proceed to the second division of the Strategic council,

We have tons of questions for those filthy weak sorcerers!"

Cynth and his men hopped on their respective carriage and entered the castle with the strict surveilance.

Not knowing.....

~The castle's underground prison "beta"~

A dark room with a single fading light and a man tied upside down, his eyes covered with an ash colored cloth.

A tall man with glasses standing in front of him.

"I'll ask you this one last time and I'll have this floor covered in blood!"

"I will say the same answer all over again!

I don't have any idea!"

The man with the glasses pierced the neck of the man with his bare hands.

And it lead him to his death

Blood drains from its body.

He went to his office and changed his clothes.

When someone knocked from the door and opened it.

"Sir Vega! Sir Cynth is calling you to proceed on the underground prison gamma."

"I'll be leaving soon."

The man saluted and left Vega alone.

~underground prison "gamma"~

"Sir Cynth! Sir Vega is outside the room"

"Just a second! Tell him to standby!"

Cynth said as he sat on chair facing a man in the same table.

"Ok! Where are we again?"

Cynth asked.

"The seventh?"

The sorcerer said.

"Ah! Well then, One of your comrades said that he saw someone with you during your dumb vulgar attack! But how come you can't remember one?"

"I am telling you the truth!"

"I know!

We have miss sylvia to detect if you are lying.

Your heart rate never increased , your pulse, your reactions, facial expressions..."

Cynth said.

"That's what he wanted you to think of."

Vega spoke as he slowly enter the room and joined the discussion.

"So you're the Nature magic user of the group?"

"Vega! I'm on this! I need you to investigate the others!"

Cynth implied.

"Nope! This guy is the most suspicious and vague suspect of all time."

Vega said as he stares drastically into the sorcerer's eyes.

He made a closer look and draw nearer to the man's face.

"What are you doing?"

The sorcerer asked.

"Someone is having a show!"

Vega said as cynth confusedly asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Someone is watching us with these eyes!"

Vega slapped the sorcerer and it made cynth stood up from his sit.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

The sorcerer mocked.

"Is it SENSOMA?"

Cynth is startled as he said.

"It definitely is!

Someone used SENSOMA to this poor creature."

Vega said and added.

"Cover his eyes!"

"Wait! Why?"

The sorcerer asked as his eyes was covered with a black cloth tied tightly by one of the guards of the room.

"Whoever watches us, can't hear us!

We can't have a resolve like this Cynth.

We have to track the guy behind this SENSOMA.

Bring with us the scale knife tomorrow and search for the guy.

We have to take action before the king finds out."

Vega said in a near whispering grudge tone.

"The other sorcerer with the gun described the seventh guy,

He said it had a shardsoul as a necklace and carries a sword in it's back.

Haven't you saw it before Vega?"

Cynth said.

"IT'S NO MISTAKE!"

Vega said as he growled in anger.

~somewhere~

Renz is in his deep sleep and woke up from a dream.

*gasp*

"They figured out!"

He said as he gasped.

Then he sat on his bed and wrote on his journal:

~My ability becomes ineffective after that man with the glasses slapped my Host in his face!

I should've used this ability to one of the guards but...

It seems that I rushed things a bit.

Anyways,

With this information I got from my host,

I might succeed to gain access inside the castle.

But first, I have to get out of here now!

They might come after me,

Losing my valuable scale knife is a misfortune.

Gotta find another~

After he wrote and record all that happened,

He stood up and packed all his things,

Before he left, he went to the owner of the lodge he had rented.

He stared unto its eyes for like 5 seconds and paid 8 gold coins.

The owner found it wierd but he seemed to be fond of wierd visitors renting his lodge during green light seasons.

As he left, he looked into his rugged old map.

"Hmmm..

Let's see?

Tonight, he will be right.....?

Here!"

He pointed at the map.

And continued to walk through the fields of cyan fireflies.

The lumin grass rustled and glowed as he pass through.

"This is why I adore Green light seasons."

He said as he suddenly stopped and said.

"Why are you following me?"

Behind the lumin grass fields appeared a creature.

Wearing a white mask with just its scarlet lips painted on it.

And responded a voice of a woman.

"You are one of us!"

"One of what?"

Renz fiercely asked as he grabs his sword behind his back.

"We are POTENTS"

The woman responded as it showed its full form from the shadows.

Her lower body was purple gradient serpent.

"I almost forgot!

Your the POTENT of deception,

The guardian of the glowing valleys!

Handing you over to the king will be a great way to earn his trust and loyalty isn't it?"

Renz answered as he creates his stance with his sword and avoids to face this creature.

He smirked,

After the creature gone wild and growled.

"SHAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Humansssss!!!"

Renz ran as the potent chased him.

Then a soft melody was heard in the area.

Renz covered his ears

But

It was too late.

He fell to the SENSOMA of the creature.

In his head was a voice.

"Well then,

Your harmony is..

An eye,

A human!

A crown!

Death!

Life!

What is your desire?"

Renz is paralyzed and he cannot move an inch.

He was slowly strangled by the potent serpent.

"So that's what you heed?

Ye wanted to kill the king?

But

How will this be justified?

What are your motives?

WHY DO YOU WANT TO BECOME

KING? "

Renz can't hear his own voice even in his head.

But he is certain of one thing.

He is certain for the

REASON.
