Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Zevien and Vernisia were in a jungle with three scorching suns in the sky and a hotter atmosphere because of fire-based plants and crystals that were a pain in the ass during their chase of killing monsters.

They had just passed the trial, and Vernisia was opening the chest while Zevien was sitting under a tree nearby.

"Nine magic crystals!" Vernisia's eyes sparkled as she opened a wooden chest after completing the trial. Sweat was tickling down on her neck as they had just finished a rather steamy trial.

"I thought the trial inside Magic Trial Crystal would be hard, but it was just like a dungeon," Zevien said as he wiped the sweat falling off his forehead.

The trial was about catching the quick-running monsters and killing them fast in this jungle. There were no bronze, silver, or gold chests but pass or fail. If they pass, they get a chest with magic crystals depending on their performance. If they fail, they get nothing.

From the chest, they got two Yellow-rank, three gray-rank, and four white-rank magic crystals.

"We will spend them wisely and power up," Vernisia said before she put the magic crystals into her storage ring.

"Let's quickly leave this hot place first. It's too damn hot," Zevien said as he stood up and entered the exit portal with Vernisia.

They arrived back at the Atlantis palace and entered the exit portal again before appearing on the island. There, they again entered the exit portal and returned to the underwater place with bubbles wrapped around them.

"This feels nice," Vernisia closed her eyes after arriving back in the cool underwater place.

"Let's go back to the inn and take some rest. This trip was really exhausting with back-to-back action," Zevien wryly smiled.

…

Zevien and Vernisia returned to the inn and extended their booking of the room.

After entering the room, they slept on the fluffy bed beside each other and just relaxed.

"Our total gain is three yellow-rank, five gray-rank, and seven white-rank magic crystals," Vernisia said with a happy smile as she snuggled on Zevien's chest. "Our chance of surviving in your 2nd magic labyrinth increased yet again."

"Hmmm, let me do some calculation," Zevien said as he thought for a few moments and calculated before his eyes shone brightly. "We both can hit the 5000 magic power milestone if we use all these magic crystals."

Vernisia was also calculated and quickly nodded. "You are right! And I still have additional two white-rank magic crystals that we bought with the remaining points. Should we try to reach 3rd class magician before entering your 2nd magic labyrinth?"

"We will try to do it for sure," Zevien nodded.

Vernisia took out all the magic crystals and laid them on the bed. "Two sets. 1st set: 3 white-rank crystals, 2 gray-rank crystals, and 2 yellow-rank crystals."

"I'll take this set," Zevien nodded. "The second set with 4 white-rank crystals, 3 gray-rank crystals, and 1 yellow-rank crystal will you more magic power in the end. Using them will get you over 5300 magic power. Save two white-rank crystals after becoming 3rd class magicians."

"Yep," Vernisia smiled cheekily. "I would obviously keep it since you can power yourself up using Shaman-seed."

"Good girl," Zevien laughed as he pulled her to his chest and kissed her.

…

After resting for an hour, they left the underwater town and swum upward to leave this place.

"I was sucked into a whirlpool before arriving here and I also saw many people going into that large whirlpool, so that is also an exit," Vernisia said.

Soon, they reached the giant whirlpool and coincidently saw two beautiful women coming out of the whirlpool.

However, the brief aura they released terrified everyone at a vast distance, including Zevien and Vernisia.

"They are so powerful," Vernisia muttered.

Zevien nodded with a hint of severeness in his eyes. These two women felt even more powerful than Headmaster Noril.

One of the women had reindeer horns and wore a kimono-like traditional robe. She had short white hair and looked like an aloof beauty. Her skin was light peach and her eyes were dark silver. The other woman had pitch black hair and was very fair-skinned. There was a certain coldness around her but she was smiling and that changed her entire vibe. Her dark blue eyes appeared lively in stark contrast to her long black hair and elegant black dress.

"They are approaching us," Vernisia suddenly stopped in her tracks as she became nervous seeing those two women approaching them.

Zevien also gulped as he was nervous seeing them coming towards them.

"Hi, lovely lady and handsome gentleman," the reindeer-horned woman said with a smile. "Can you tell us the location of the Deep Abyss Chasm?"

"Deep Abyss Chasm…" Vernisia's eyes widened after hearing that, and she quickly explained, "that place, I have only heard of it while I was in the town. It is very dangerous and only a few people have ever returned after entering there."

"Thank you for worrying about us, but it's fine. Haha, we can certainly safely return from there," the black-haired woman said with a gentle smile. "You said about the town, right? Can you point us in the town's direction if you don't know Chasm's location?"

"Yep, we'd rather not wander about to find Deep Abyss Chasm's location ourselves since we want to finish our work here quickly," the reindeer-horned woman nodded with a smile.

"The town is in that direction," Zevien pointed his hand.

"Thank you," the black-haired woman said with a smile. She looked at Zevien with a deep gaze for a second before she turned to Vernisia and chuckled, "is he your husband?"

"H-husband?" Vernisia blushed, then nodded. "Not yet, but soon."

Zevien was also taken aback as his ears turned a bit red.

"My name is Sen, and she is Linci," Sen said as she took out a ring and gave it to Vernisia with a lively grin. "We have seen men's gaze swaying to various degrees after looking at our appearance, but this little guy only has eyes and heart for you. Haha, when you come to Astral Land, this ring will lead you to our tiny empire. Visit us when you get time."

Linci took out a ring and gave it to Zevien with a smile. "this is for you. Exchange it at the time you deem appropriate."

Zevien and Vernisia were dazed as they accepted the rings and saw the two women quickly leaving without spreading a ripple and disappearing deep into the sea in the town's direction.
