Chapter 36: The 3 Primeval Shrines

The road was lonely with several monsters along the way. But what Kenji was thinking was that, there was a shrine nearby. He could check it out along the way.

There were many kinds of shrines and one was the Shrine of the Creator. It gives a boost of 20% more experience gained to the one it gives its blessings.

Another one was the Ascended gods’ shrines that give specific blessings that differ from the others.

Either a faster skill rank-up or stats. Others were in governed stats.

Last was the Guardian shrines. They give blessings to the specific job class that they were under. Like the Necromancer shrine was only affecting the specific job class of the person. Making it have a faster learning rate or a buff on the rank of the skill. There was also a blessing that gives a skill higher than your proficiency.

What Kenji would go was the 3 Primeval Shrines which gives faster experience gain of the said Path you will choose. First was the Warrior Path, next was the Magic Path, and the Rogue Path. It was on the top of a hill and has stairs up. Slabs of stones were piled as a gateway.

Kenji ascended the steps and then went to venture higher. Having the wind blow against him made his trekking more challenging.

Kenji then felt the cold subside in his skin. Sending shivers as he followed the steps upwards. Several torches were lit along the way and Kenji saw a brazier that was not lit up. He then made it spark and soon, a fire started to burn from the embers. With the magic of the flint that made it burn.

Kenji then saw the shrine, it was seen as a statue with an offering table on the bottom.

[Warrior Path]

+20 % faster Attack speed

+20 % physical damage

+20 % faster mastery of physical skills

[Magic Path]

+20 % faster cast speed

+20 % magical damage

+20 % faster mastery of magical skills

[Rogue Path]

+20 % faster evasion speed

+20 % critical damage

+20 % faster mastery of roguish skills

.....

Kenji then offered his prayers to the Mage Path Shrine and his body glowed. Though he didn’t receive the blessing itself!

Kenji then soon felt that something was amiss. He looked at his back and saw feral rotten rising from the ground. Encompassing him and the shrine.

"So this shrine was tainted. I have to purify it," Kenji muttered then drew his sword.

Shing!

The enemies then attacked and Kenji prepared to meet them with his steel blade. One clawed him and he sidestepped while slashing it off. Its torso was cut in half and its body was flung separated from each other.

Kenji then saw the others starting to head toward him. Making him grit his teeth in sheer excitement. Kenji then attacked the others that were heading his way.

He slashed one and stabbed the other. Rotating and then making a rising slash toward the enemy. Sending its head away from his body.

Another one attacked and it roared as it did so. Kenji then decapitated it on its neck and it halted on its wail. Kenji then attacked the others and hacked them with his sword.

Another one attacked and Kenji kicked it. Gaining space then slashing it off from the neck towards the waist. Killing it in the process. Its body was flung and separated. Kenji then saw more was rising and so he prepared for another slaughter. One rose near him and Kenji was surprised. He skewered one with both of his swords and then ripped it apart. Making only its torn body left.

Kenji then was attacked on the back. Aiming to bite him but he stabbed its mouth and then swung the sword to the side. Another one attacked and he slashed its hands off and then kicked it. Making it flung away from him.

With the enemy down, he stabbed its head with his sword and twisted it. Pulling it afterward.

Kenji then dashed toward the enemies that were rising and then slashed them one by one. Making him decapitate or cut their limbs in the process. Kenji then ended their lives.

Others then wailed as they attacked which made Roan agitated by their noise. Kenji then slashed their heads which made it quieter.

Kenji then saw that their bodies became dark miasma and they started to disintegrate.

"So it seems, they were summoned by the demons to taint the shrines. I have to cleanse all the shrines in that case," Kenji muttered.

Kenji then went to the shrine again and saw that it was glowing. A holy aura was felt as Kenji approached it. The statue was seen emitting an aura.

He put a gold coin again and then offered his prayer. Making him feel that a blessing has entered his soul.

[Blessing of the Mage Path added]

+20 % faster cast speed

+20 % magical damage

+20 % faster mastery of magical skills

Kenji then went to the next path he has to travel and that was to the East. The next destination was to the Valley of the Prime Beasts. It was the place where the Prime Beast were guarding before you could go to the Giants territory. He travelled fast and under the veil of the night, he did not want to battle with those 3. Primarily, Leviathan, Ziz, and Bahamuth. He was terrified with those three.

And so, he was sneaking behind rocks and then hidden himself under the robes and then travelled the enemy territory with just himself.

His summons would make a commotion if he would summon them. And so, he travelled solitarily. The path was windy and there was a lake nearby. The winds battered his robes and he felt cold. The way was rocky and made him feel his travel a little bit harsh. Though it made him hide in the larger ones. Making him undetected. Though after a while, he heard a loud roar from the valley and he felt not good. It felt foreboding on his path. Biting his teeth, he wished that it was not too late. It was not a good situation to be in.

He watched the three and saw that they were looking at him. Making him think if he was the one being looked at. Though he confirmed right after.

They were all looking at him. And so, he dashed as he felt it was too late to just idly stand by and wait for his doom.
