Epic Of The Demonic Sage Chapter 207
Advertisement
Lucius pulled out one of the arrows from the quiver and also took out the arrow tip that he had taken from Doyle's chest. Comparing both arrowheads, Lucius could tell that they were made from the same kind of metal and had the same craftsmanship as well.
"Hmm… they are definitely from the same source and even the same batch." Lucius spoke.
He then used one of the arrow tips and tried to scratch the wood on the table.
~skrew~
A scratch that was easily created on the table, without Lucius needing to put much force into it. And when he put more power into it, the arrow tip easily buried itself into the wood, showing its sharpness and quality.
"This is of made of top quality materials. I doubt even the army uses arrowheads of this quality." Lucius stated.
"Oh? Let me see." Kiana spoke and picked up one of the arrows.
She looked at the Grey metal arrow tip that had slight hints of blue on it. These blue parts looked like flecks of impurities embedded into the arrow tip.
"I think I've heard of something like this before," Kiana said after a minute.
"You have?" Lucius asked.
"Hmmm… I can't tell surely but there was this name to it… Ummm…. AH! Yes, the true shot arrows." Kiana answered after thinking for a minute.
"True Shot arrows?" Lucius muttered in confusion.
"Mmmhmm… they are said to be very popular among the mercenaries who use bows and arrows. They're said to be better than all the common arrows and are very expensive to get.
Actually, I don't think you can buy them either. You will need to find the metal and get them custom made from an expert blacksmith that has had a lot of experience with that metal.

I can't remember the name of the metal though." Kiana explained.
"Is that so? Hmm… I guess the name True Shot should be enough for us to find out more." Lucius replied.
"Though… considering the value of the arrows, it seems even more apparent that the man was here to kill someone in the outpost. If the arrows really do as they say and combine that with the man's gift, they must have been really strong.
Actually, I don't think when that man attacked Doyle, he even used his gift. Just the arrow tips on their own are sharp and have a great penetrating power." Lucius added after thinking for a bit.
"That does seem rather concerning. Though I'll go and get someone that can help us with this matter. I think there are a couple of former metal workers and even a former blacksmith with us in the center." Kiana replied.
"That will be good, please get them." Lucius said.
Kiana nodded her head and went to find the people she had mentioned. Lucius had recruited a lot of people that had suffered under the hands of the criminal and thus had a vast variety of them to choose from.
This was another one of Lucius's goals which would allow him to have capable people all around him and help him with matters he could not deal with or did not know much about.
While Kiana was gone, Lucius took the opportunity to check the dead man with some different methods that he could not use while Kiana was there.
"Hopefully there are still some remnants of a soul on his body," Lucius muttered to himself.
He first sat down on a chair comfortably, as the next process was a bit sensitive. He entered a meditative state and appeared in his soul space. There, he let his consciousness merge with his soul and let it awaken.

Lucius's soul opened its eyes in the soul space and the Hell imprint glowed along with it. Nexus on the other hand, stayed static and did not really react in any way.
~huu~
Lucius let out a breath and felt his soul's body. It was a rather peculiar sensation that could not be experienced with an actual body. Lucius felt 'free' as if there were no burdens on his body.
But after a few seconds, Lucius suppressed this feeling and recalled that he had been in a form such as this for a very long time when he was traveling through the myriad of the worlds and dimensions.
"Let's begin," Lucius said before his soul started to let off waves of a strange energy.
It was such that even the hell imprint became dimmer and the imprint of Nexus even more so. With both of them becoming suppressed, the waves of energy only became more apparent and stood out.
"Eng!" Doyle, Baza, and Dustin all woke up when the energy waves reached them.
"Grr!" A hint of fear appeared in the eyes of all three, as if they had met their mortal weakness and they shrunk back in fear.
~thud~thud~thud~
Burying themselves into the walls, the three Lost tried to stay as far as from Lucius as they could as of this moment. They felt fear that if they came close by, they may just get killed instantly.
Even if the Lost were fearless in battle and did not mind getting killed, there were still a few methods that could scare them. But using these methods was difficult for most mages or priests.
The waves of energy continued to emit from Lucius's body and reached the dead spy's body. They reverberate in it for a minute or so, before Lucius could sense a while blob of smoky mass floating inside the body.
The blob was half hanging out of the body and was slowly getting dissipated.
"Just in time," Lucius muttered in his mind upon seeing this.
He knew that if he had waited any longer, there was a great chance the soul remnant of the dead spy may have faded away.
'Alright, at least there is something left behind there. Hopefully, I'm able to find something that is usable to me overall in a general sense.' Lucius thought to himself as he got to work.

How to raise a Hive Queen
This story is about a newborn Hive Queen, which gets raised in an unexpected environment. The first part of the story will focus on her development and the challenges that come with it. Eventually she will start to produce her own swarm of hive creatures. The species of the Hive Queen is called the Sylv and they are a insectoid species with an hive mind. The Sylv can evolve themselves through extracting traits from other non Sylv creatures. This is limited to modify the basic set of creatures the Sylv can produce, they are not able to create completely new creatures. In this regard they are more like ants, who have workers, soldiers and queen ants. The Sylv live underground in so called hive complexes and use living structures in them to produce more of their kind. The Hive Queen is the leader of a Sylv Hive and responsible for evolving the swarm. This novel takes place in a fantasy setting and was inspired by other hive species like the Zerg from "Starcraft" made by Blizzard Entertainment, the Arachnea from "Her majesty's swarm" published on j-novel club, and the Vex from "I don't want to be the Hive Queen" by ValetheHowl. I really enjoy stories with an organic hive mind species and want to contribute myself. The focus and theme of this story will change as the Hive Queen matures and defines the goals she wants to achieve. If you like this story also check out my other fiction "To former Glory" here on Royal Road :D
