LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 267: Nayra
Valkyrie’s Immortality
Nayra sat in her room, her cell. It was small, but well furnished. She held her great spear in her arm. The awakened weapon, Er’ishi Resav. A golden spear that had once belonged to Eerv, before it passed to Ryun who gave it to her. She remembered that day, when she had gotten it. She couldn’t believe that he was doing it, just giving her an awakened weapon. They were so valuable and sought in the Empire that even her family didn’t have many. Before she left her sister, decided to abandon the Empire, she could’ve only dreamed about having an awakened weapon. Her family might’ve considered granting her one, but they never gave it to those who were below immortal tier. She would’ve had to prove herself worthy of one.
Yet she had been granted this one, simply because she was trusted by someone. Because he valued her as a Sect Leader. It was a strange feeling, to know that someone else looks at you with worth. No one had come for her in three years, and while sometimes she wavered slightly, she never truly had any doubt that they would come for her. She didn’t quite know how to explain why, not even to herself, she just knew it. It was in the way that Ryun and Anrosh had acted in the past, the way that they interacted with other sect members, the way that they lived their lives. What Erik had done, the way that he had taken her, it was something that they wouldn’t be able to forget.
“We could try and slip through our captors fingers ourselves,” Eri’shi Resav said in her mind.
Nayra grimaced. Her spear loved getting through its opponent’s guards, it was its nature, to slip through and strike at the heart. Nayra knew that she could do it, she had proven it last night. She was strong enough that she could overpower her guards if she took them by surprise. Though, they would be more on guard now, she could probably do it again. The strongest people were needed to defend the Wall, they couldn’t waste them on keeping her prisoner. No, they weren’t what was keeping Nayra here. It was… her sense of duty, not toward the Empire or her family, but everything else. Helping keep the line here at the Wall, also helped her other family, her sect.
And, as much as she hated to admit it, her instructors had given her a lot of power. The souls that formed the contracts with her in death had given her a lot of powerful passive perks and a few active ones. Her instructors insisted that she should focus on passive power increase, saying that it was the best way forward. Nayra had no choice but to agree, the souls that she escorted were loyal to her family. Even in death, they followed orders.
“No Resav, not yet,” Nayra said. She was a prisoner, yes, but she was getting stronger.
A knock on her door made her turn her head, and then stand. She walked over and opened the door, seeing her sister and brother standing there, Reyla and Emrys.
“What do you want?” Nayra asked, immediately on guard.
After a long few seconds, Nayra took a step back, letting them in. She didn’t know what they wanted, but she was certain that they did want something. Her family rarely visited without wanting something.
After they entered, Nayra took a seat on her bed, and looked at them. “So? What do you want?” She repeated her question.
Reyla glanced at Emrys, and then took a deep breath.
“We’ve talked with mother,” Reyla started. “There is… there is no one coming to help us anytime soon. They don’t have anyone to spare right now.”
Nayra understood immediately what that meant. The Wall had been breached, and while they had filled the hole, rebuilt it, that chunk of the Wall was not the same. It had no defenses that the rest of it had. They had probably already put some arrays on it, but in the end those could not measure up to the layers and layers of defenses put into the rest of the Wall.
“That is… this part of the Wall is a weakness,” Nayra said, wondering what her mother was thinking. “We don’t have enough people to even defend it properly.”
“I know,” Reyla said slowly.
That told Nayra that things were a lot worse than she had thought. If there was no help coming, then… then perhaps there wasn’t anyone to send. The war had to be going bad for them to leave the fort and the Wall in Reyla’s and Emrys’s hands. Nayra knew that they had been the ones to take command during the battle last night. She… she didn’t know how much faith she would place in them to defend the Wall. If Nayra hadn’t decided to help, there wouldn’t be anything to defend.
“It is that bad?” Nayra asked, just wanting confirmation. A part of her wondered if perhaps now was the best time to run away. If they couldn’t send more people here, then they certainly wouldn’t be able to send anyone after her. Another part of her was… she remained here because she could do something. Because she had a responsibility. Not to her family, they had treated her as if she was their property, as if her emotions and thoughts were inconsequential in the long run. But, the Empire was the first line of defense against the Dome monsters, here was where she could do the most to stop them, and also grow stronger.
“It appears so,” Emrys answered her.
“So why are you here? Talking with me?”
“Nayra, we…” Reyla paused, then steeled to herself and spoke. “We, I need your help.”
Nayra blinked, but before she could answer, Reyla continued.
“We can’t defend the Wall alone, even with you we might not be able to. But, we need to at least try. If these monsters get through in any significant number…”
Nayra understood. Half of the Empire was in ruins, millions were dead. The only thing that kept the rest of the Empire safe was the Wall. And if the monsters got through, if the Empire fell… then the Frontier was next. Her sect, her people. Nayra had made her choice and given her loyalty, if staying here and working with her family was going to keep her home safe then it wasn’t much of a decision.
“Very well,” Nayra said. “I assume that means I will no longer be under guard?”
Reyla exchanged a look with Emrys and Nayra rolled her eyes.
“I could’ve escaped last night sister, if I truly wanted to,” she told her.
Reyla met her eyes and then nodded her head.
“Well then, I guess that we will fight side by side once again,” Nayra said.
Reyla took a deep breath and then spoke again. “There is one more thing. We are alone, and Emrys and I were the ones placed in charge. I know that we have little hope of holding back an attack of the same magnitude as the one that the monsters fielded last night. Not as we are now, because of that… Both Emrys and I had leveled, evolved our Classes.”
Nayra blinked, then smiled. “You disobeyed? Or did mother tell you that you can?”
Reyla grimaced. “No one gave us permission, but there is little else that we can do in order to make our chances better. I know that you have at least one Evolution available. With no one else here, I give you permission to Evolve your Class.”
Nayra shook her head and chuckled to herself. Reaching the immortal realm had been something that was far in the future before she joined the sect. Something that she would work toward, perhaps even work decades for. Her family had always had the expectation that both she and Reyla would reach it, they’ve been put on that path since they were born. But to her, it was always something that she would get far into the future. If she was honest with herself, she never doubted that she would reach that point. Her family had been making immortals for a long time. When she had decided to leave her family, she had decided to give up on that, on everything that they had to offer to her in the future. A part of her had understood that that might mean that she would never be able to reach immortality, that she would eventually grow old and die.
And yet, there were two choices in her screens. The two choices that she had earned by walking her own path not by following guides given to her by others. One was tied to the monsters that she fought on the Wall, a Class tailored to fighting Dome monsters. A mythic Class, the same rarity as her current one, but that mattered little when it offered immortality. Many would’ve jumped on the opportunity, and she believed that many will. There had to be a lot of people that would be offered such Classes from this war. Nayra had never entertained the idea seriously. She had considered it for a few moments when she had gotten it almost a year ago, but ultimately she would never have chosen it. She might’ve made a decision to live her life on her own terms, but the education her family had given her still remained. Specialization was good, but not when it concerned opponents. Getting a Class that made you powerful only against wolves might be good if you are being hunted by a pack, but it wouldn’t suit after, when you encountered something else.
The second Class Evolution choice she had gained a few months ago, after she had escorted another soul to the afterlife. It was a direct Evolution of her current Class, and it was what she wanted to take. She had to have finished some requirements for it, but she wasn't quite sure what those were. The instructors had asked her to write down everything that she had done in a hope that they could figure it out. She didn’t need to wait and see other options, her Class was unique and powerful, it was something that she herself had earned and she wanted to continue going down that road. The only reason why she hadn’t taken the Class so far was because of her family, or rather her mother. Nayra had spoken with her a few times only, the first few times she had been filled with anger and resentment, but in the end the person she was angry at the most was Erik. Her brother who didn’t listen, who made decisions for her and killed her people. And her mother was… she was her mother. Nayra could see that her mother thought that she was doing what was best for her by keeping her here. She had told Nayra that she hadn’t agreed with what Erik’s decision, but… in the end it was done and her mother didn’t want to let her go. Not with the war with the Dome monsters going on. Her mother wanted her to grow strong. But in the end, she had been placed in the care of house Ornn retainers, instructors, and… her older sister Vanessa.
Her mother had a responsibility to the Empire and she just couldn’t deal with everything. Nayra understood and accepted that. She had seen the Dome monsters and knew that they needed people like her mother to help protect them all.
But the others were… they were not her mother, and they did not seem to feel the same way. Oh, Nayra hadn’t been harmed in any real sense. They limited her freedom and they threatened. Her sister Vanessa herself had threatened punishment if Nayra didn’t do what they wanted her to do. Once Nayra would’ve enjoyed getting at least some satisfaction from disobeying. But the life in the sect and walking down her Cultivation Path had taught her patience. She would gain nothing by being defiant.
She hadn’t taken the Class because she had no need of it. They didn’t push her into dangerous situations. Now, her sister was here, asking her to do it. After she had escaped her guards and went to the battle. Nayra knew that without her, they probably would’ve lost, and she also knew that they couldn’t hold the Wall for long. Not without someone on the level of Erik or Vanessa. Nayra, Reyla, and Emrys weren’t there yet, but they were all that they had.
She couldn’t help but think about Ryun and Anrosh. She wondered what they would do. Ryun wouldn’t doubt himself, he would do what he wanted to do no matter what. Anrosh would make a decision that would help her protect those that she cared about.
“Thank you for your permission,” Nayra said with a grin. Reyla picked up on Nayra’s mocking, she had made it obvious. But it didn’t change anything. If Nayra was going to stay, she might as well take the next step. She pulled up her choice of Class and read it over again.
Soul of Gunnr
A Valkyrie of battle and death. A terror to her foes, and caring presence for the dead. You are a warrior and a guide.
The Soul of Gunnr is a class focused on the battle and protecting the souls on their journeys to the afterlife. It is the most powerful on the battlefield. It shines in war and is kin to the souls of warriors. Increasing her allies’ power in life, and shielding them in death.
Dawnbattle Soul: Your presence in the Ethereal draws warrior souls. The effect of your presence on warrior souls is increased by 500%, and lowered on all other souls by 50%. You gain +20% to stats while protecting recently deceased souls. Your Dawn flavored attacks have their soul damage increased by 100%. Gain 20% to strength and intelligence.
!Gain one of the following:
-Battle Rally support ability: Increases stats, resistances, and morale of yourself and those around you.
-Strike of Battles offensive ability: Execute a strike that deals increased damage for every enemy that you have killed prior to using it.
-Might and Intellect: Gain plus 20% to base strength and intelligence.
It was a Class that would continue her on the same path, and she had no reason not to pick it. She accepted the Class and leveled. The choice of her immortality perk immediately came up.
Valkyrie’s Role
You are tied to the passage of souls, you no longer age. Upon your death, your body will evaporate. Your body will be recreated in the Ethereal Realm as an amalgamation of Essence of Death. You will be tasked with ferrying souls through the Ethereal Realm to the afterlife. Once you have ferried sufficient number of souls, you will be able to recreate your body in the Real Realm. If you are killed in your Death form, you will die a true death.
Valkyrie of Battle and Death
You are tied to battle and death, you no longer age. Upon your death, your body will evaporate. Your body will be recreated in the Ethereal Realm as an amalgamation of the Essences of Battle and Death. You will retain all of your power and will be able to enter and leave the Warrior Afterlife as you please. You will only be able to enter the Real Realm for a limited amount of time based on how many souls you have helped reach the Afterlife. If your new body is destroyed, you will die a true death.
Flaming Birth
You are tied to fire, you no longer age. Once you die, your soul will be transported to the closest fire related plane where you will be transformed into a fireformed spirit. Some of your powers will change and you will retain all of your memories. As a spirit, you will be tied to the domain of fire, and will be very hard to kill as long as your fire domain remains.
Two of her choices were similar, with a few big differences. The last choice she dismissed immediately, it probably came from her fire and heat-based powers. The other two were a lot more interesting. One was obviously a more basic Valkyrie type immortality, while the other was more flavored by her Class. Her choice, ultimately, wasn’t that hard. She had her path and she would follow it to the end.
She picked Valkyrie of Battle and Death. Entering the Afterlife and then leaving was far too attractive of an ability. She had seen the golden light that the souls entered, the doors to the afterlife. She had always wondered what was through there. Now, she might get the chance to see. She had to die first, but still. Then she raised her head to meet her siblings’ eyes.
“You did it?” Reyla asked.
“Yes. I thought that I would feel… different,” Nayra said. She had the new perk, but… she didn’t feel immortal.
“Me too,” Reyla smiled, and for a moment they were back in time. In a period where they were inseparable. But that quickly passed. “Nayra, do you have Essence? If not, I can take some from the coffers. We were hoping that we could level as much as we can in this Evolution.”
Nayra tilted her head. She did, in fact, have Essence. Three years of fighting made her a large sum, but she had been saving up for a long time anyway. “Did you level already?”
“Not yet, I was hoping that we could talk about it a bit? We don’t have any instructors here to help us make the decisions,” Reyla said slowly.
“You picked your immortality, though?” Nayra said, at least that was what she had gathered from their conversation before.
“Yes, but that won’t really impact our ability to fight,” Reyla said.
Nayra waved her hand, it didn’t really matter to her anyway. She leaned back and nodded her head. “I guess that we can help each other.”
Nayra wasn’t an expert at all, she followed Ryun’s rules for picking perks. Meaning she asked two questions; Is this going to fit well into my kit? And how will this help me smash my enemies to pieces or help my other perks smash my enemies more effectively? Simple.
She gestured for Reyla and Emrys to take seats and then asked them to show her their screens. Then, the three of them started talking about their perks and making choices. It was almost as if they were in some other reality, one where they were one big happy family. This here was what she had left the Empire for, to advance on her own terms. To make her own choices. Talking with other and getting advice was fine, but there were no instructions here. No guides and reading manuals and ancient scrolls.
Slowly, the three of them leveled and picked their perks. All the way until all three of them had reached level 419, the last level before next Evolution. Nayra of course couldn’t level more, she hadn’t met the requirements for her next Class Evolution. And by their reactions, neither had anyone else.
Nayra took a deep breath, then released it slowly. “I guess that we should talk a bit about how we are going to defend the Wall.”
She did not look forward to that discussion.
