ARCHDEUS

THE WISE MEN SAY(2)

Alven and Alex are currently in a shady forest not far from Alexandreia. This forest had quite a lot of magic beasts but they tended to be inside the deeper forest.

Unlike the Rain whose development Alex has seen, Alven's development is still too difficult to measure. Especially when they were doing a raid, Alven mostly only acted as a supporter who cast a level 1 spell [Spark]. That's why Alex decided to take Alven on a raid. If Alven's level of ability is sufficient for Alex's criteria, he will immediately give his adopted child an Orb of Wisdom obtained from a false dungeon.

A group of magic deer named Amardeep Goat is busy gathering and interacting with others. They were quite powerful magic beasts, if equated to the level of adventurers, one amardeep goat was equal to one gold-plated adventurer.

These goats are cool to run around, chew grass, and bleat casually. But that calmness was only for a moment.

*booomm!!

An explosion appeared and hit the strongest and largest goat. The goat died instantly, making the other goats run scared.

*Slashhh!

Another attack came. Two goats are now dead. They were killed with their heads cut off and the decapitated device was stuck in a large rock. There were two black knives stuck deep in the stone.

Behind the panic, a man appeared. He is ... Alex. He saw the goats starting to move away, it could not be allowed. He quickly cast a spell.

"[Dragon Lightning]."

8 Of the 23 goats died instantly. If it is plucked all, 11 are killed and 12 are passed. It was meant to prevent extinction.

After the mass murder, in front of Alex there are 22 pairs of horns from the goats. One goat has 2 pairs of golden horns so that collected very much. Alven was sitting and rubbing the horns with a small piece of cloth. It does so to make the object clean, shine, and increase attractiveness.

Alex took a breath. This was the first time he had used his magic. Alex had been able to use tier 6 magic at the moment and one of the spells he cast was [Dragon Lightning]. It was a tier 5 spell that was a lightning element with an AoE type attack [1]

"Alven, come here" said Alex.

"Good, Sir."

Alex smiled at the obedience of his adopted son. But he was a little astonished when he saw Alven who looked nervous.

"What's Alven? Are you sick?"

Alven immediately replied with a panicked expression.

"T-No, it's not like that, sir. It's just .."

Alven was initially very confident with the development gained during his training with Atlya. He felt he had quite a lot of ability improvement. But when he saw Alex who cast a very amazing magic, Alven felt inferior.

"Alright, if it doesn't matter I have a task for you"

"Good!"

Hah .. glad, finally I can breathe fresh air. In the city, only the smell of paper and the stench of rotten things were smelled, Alex thought.

Alex seemed to be thinking about something. He begins to take Alven to the forest to find a suitable opponent for the boy.

"What if we relax here while looking around?" ask Alex.

Although Alven has long been Alex's adopted son but Alven sometimes still not used to call Alex as a father. Luckily Alex didn't question that much.

They walked deeper into the forest. Alex was actually about to look for a magic beast that had at least the power equivalent to Alven. According to Atlya, Alven can now use level 1 element spells. Among them is:

- Fire element spell: [Spark]

water element: [Create Water], [Ice].

- Wind element mirror: [Wind].

- Ground element: [Ground Spines], [Low-Solid Wall]

- Lightning element mirror: [Electric Current]

Thanks to Atlya who has been taking care of and observing Alven.

Alex is looking around for who is a suitable opponent for PvP with Alven. He has to choose an opponent who is not too difficult and not too easy. This is quite difficult for Alex especially when Alex is the archdeus Sheol who actually never got an equal opponent, he said, so that he sometimes prefers to fight (slay) regardless of whether the enemy is weak or not.

Long enough to search, they finally found a suitable opponent for Alven. Alex and Alven hide in the bushes to avoid the stares of their would-be enemies. The enemy candidate was none other than a goblin carrying a spear with a tip made of a kind of long fangs tied to wood and in the hands of one another of the goblins was a leather shield as big as a chests. Then on his waist was a bone dagger, probably from the claws of a savage beast that had been sharpened.

At first Alex thought, goblin again, goblin again. Should I call Goblin Slayer? But weighing from Alven's current strength, the goblins were indeed ideal-looking opponents. They were not as weak as slime and were not as strong as orcs. Maybe this could be a good fight simulation for his son.

Alex called out to Alven who was next to him. Alex gave orders.

"Listen Alven, that super ugly, smelly creature is your opponent. I won't interfere, but I won't let you die. But if you lose, I will no longer take you on adventures. You better be with Justin to take care of the administration of the barony. I'm sure Justin will love the extra labor."

Even though he was a child, Alven was not a fool. He knew Justin's work was exhausting and boring. Of course he didn't want to be stuck for a lifetime in a pile of paper.

Alven responded to Alex's warning by nodding. Then slowly, Alven crept slowly like a lion walking towards a deer in the meadow. Slowly and surely. He came out of the bush and continued to approach the goblin who was still behind him.

*click!

He's busted! thought Alex.

Alven's foot accidentally stepped on it with a small twig resulting in a click. The goblin immediately turned his gaze to Alven. Immediately Alven ran and directly threw magic towards the goblins.

Alven deftly cast [Spark] magic. But the attack was dammed by goblins by placing their shields in the direction of the attack. The attack made the goblin's shield blacken as a result of the fire explosion.

Then Alven again threw a spell of magic element level 1 with wind element that is [Wind]. As a result a small but strong gust of wind led to the goblin and caused a kind of shockwave. The goblin that had a small body crashed.

They face each other. The goblin who did not know why he was being attacked felt extremely angry. He pointed his spear eyes at Alven. Their distance is now about 3 meters. They were preparing for a real attack.
