Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

Chapter 278: Siren Blood Mages



Chapter 278: Siren Blood Mages

Within the massively expansive region Azog Ice Town takes up, its structural design varied quite differently from numerous other towns. Despite being named a town, people all alike found it more appropriate to say this was a pseudo-City.

This pseudo City status comes from the fact that Azog Ice Town has several massive districts making up its whole region. And every district has numerous powerful forces that are in control.

These powerful forces are what alleviates Azog Ice Town over other major towns and give it its pseudo-City status.

Most districts were in control either by the usual Mercenary group or cultivation Sect. Some other districts were in control by even powerful Families or long-running Clans. 

But, out of all districts, there were a few major ones that stood absolutely above all others.

One of and the most prominent districts out of the whole town is the Mayor district. As one would expect from the name, this district is essentially the main force that controls Azog Ice Town as a whole.

No matter how powerful the other Sects, Families or Clans are, none of them would dare to go against the Mayor district. 

However, there was one Major Power inhabiting a district that governs respect from even the Mayor's Forces.

This particular district was all the way to the eastern part of town, secluding themselves from most other residents. And as a result, there wasn't a high volume of residents strolling around this district compared to others.

This secluded district even had fewer stores and other types of buildings. Moreover, most places had a particular ruby red design that gave this area a faint ominous vibe.

This district is what everyone knows as the Siren Blood Mage district. Here lies primarily the mysterious yet powerful Mages. 

Because it is a prominent Mage area, it would be rare to see cultivators strolling around here. Unless it was absolutely needed from them, cultivators themselves wouldn't bother showing their faces around here.

However, three masked figures slowly traversed this district without a single care for the expected norms. 

Many gazes would fall on this particular trio, and none held particularly kind eyes to them. Of course, since this masked trio all had cultivation auras, their kind would not be graciously welcomed here. 

But, no matter the nasty gaze that fell on them, the masked trio never lost their strides.

"So this is the place, huh? I'm starting to see a tradition within these Mages." The masked person in the center of the trio spoke out loud, and of course, this masked person was Darcel. 

"Tsk, they're all just birds of a flock, aren't they?" 

Masami's crude voice sounded out from Darcel's left side while Aniela was curiously tilting her head on the other side. 

Ignoring all looks on them, the trio had their sights set expressly on the colossal building within this district.

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami couldn't get a complete look over this place. Still, they remarked it has to expand at least thousands of meters wide. Even for Mercenary group standards, this was quite wide.

Along with its colossal structure, the building design was coated in shimmering crimson paint. The crimson color nearly looks identical to actual blood, causing the whole building to exude an almost ominous aura. 

"At least we would never have a chance to miss something so obvious like this. But their design.they're certainly the strangest of Mages." Aniela added her own opinions.

This massively Crismon design building the trio were walking to was the very Siren Blood Mage group. The Mage group that Darcel, Aniela, and Masami were putting all their bets on.

During their escape from that independent realm, Bella informed them that the Siren Blood Mage group was one of the very rare ones that actually accepts any cultivators wanting to become a Mage.

She had told them that this Mage group is even willing to accept Heavenly King cultivators! 

No matter how much a Mage prowess varies from the Heavenly Transformation realm, even they couldn't take them lightly.

Yet, despite the dangers Heavenly Kings proposes to the Mage, they were apparently still willing to accept them. 

Although when Bella explained to them the process of attempting to become Mages, it started to make sense why they would accept such powerhouses.

This information was not known to the general populace of cultivators, but Bella was informed that it is very well possible for any cultivator to awaken a Magical Core, becoming Mages.

However, the chances of that happening is highly slim, next to zero percent chance. 

From what Bella told them, at most, there's been a select few cultivators who could form the weakest of Magical Cores. But those cultivators usually end up being the lowest of low among Mage's kinds. 

They would essentially be the servants inside any Mage's group that would even accept cultivators.

Initially, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami question Bella, wondering why cultivators who could at least form a weak Magical Core aren't massive phenomena. Furthermore, they were curious as to hell Bella even caught wind of that news.

But all Bella explained to them was that Mages somehow could hugely suppress news of cultivators becoming Mages among the whole Nine Provinces. And she could only catch wind of this news from supposedly spying on the Raven Mages.

Even with her explanations, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami were still chock-full of questions. However, at that time, they barely had any opportunities for prolonged discussions.

And while Bella's knowledge about the Mage's subject was impressively good, she didn't have all the answers. 

The only option Darcel, Aniela, and Masami had was to simply see it for themselves.

Truly, the trio did have some confidence in themselves to become Mages. Their reaction inside their Chaotic Shards was enough to give them this amount of confidence. That ability just seems to run off its own logic.

But, even for the rising confidence Darcel, Aniela and Masami had, they found it impossible to completely ignore the disdainful looks cast upon them. 

And as they got closer to the Siren Blood Mage organization, the looks of scorn stayed prominent.

With so many nasty gazes on them, memories, particularly nasty ones, began to resurface within Masami's mind. From behind her mask, her already annoyed expression quickly turned sour with each step she took.

In a low voice so only Darcel and Aniela could hear, she said, "Watch, just watch. We're going to have to get used to these damn gazes until we finally show who's a true Mage around here. Dammit.their looks .it's really ticking me off."

"Hey, hey! Just relax, Sami. Ignore them and just focus on us and what we can do with all those new powers from becoming Mages!" Aniela's tone had a genuine bubbly quality about it.

She wasn't faking or trying at all, feeling genuinely pumped about over becoming Mages. 

Following up with Aniela, Darcel said, "Like Aniela said, these guys don't matter. Only us, so let's keep straight on the task."

At this point, Darcel genuinely only cared about keeping Aniela and Masami's safety. He couldn't care less about the disdain he's getting now and will receive in the future.

In fact, even during his slave labor days in the Parasol Organization, he couldn't be assed to care about the Doctors and Scientists' disdain for him as well. 

"Fuu~. Yea, yea, you two are right. I just can't stand those kinds of looks. But like you said, Darcel, they don't matter. So let's get this done!" Masami's voice took on a more energetic pumped tone towards the end. 

Throughout their entire conversation, neither Darcel, Aniela, nor Masami stopped walking. And right when Masami finished her sentence, the trio was near the entrance of the Siren Blood Mage organization.

Like any other Mercenary group, the Siren Blood Mage group entrance was a simple tavern door, allowing anybody to stroll right in.

'Thankfully, nobody wanted trouble.' Darcel lightly mused to himself. 

Truthfully, if anyone of those wandering Mages attempted to come up with them to start trouble, Darcel knew things would turn ugly in a snap.

Darcel knew he would have to rely on his wit if that situation were to occur. But it appeared as the Mages here were content with throwing openly nasty gazes at them.

Taking a small breath to quell his slight nerves, Darcel had then glanced over to both Aniela and Masami. 

Upon trading glances, both girls readily nodded, showcasing no hesitation within their body language.

Turning back forward, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami didn't delay anymore and walked right into the Siren Blood Mage organization. 

'They have an obsession.' 

These were Darcel, Aniela, and Masami's first thoughts upon stepping one foot in the Siren Blood Mage group.

Their main hall was luxuriously wide, holding numerous corridors, staircases, and doors leading to other areas. The design here was very similar to the outside; everything had a pattern of crimson paint, exuding the same eerie vibe from the outside.

In fact, the ominous feeling was amplified inside since there were more intricate markings that looked utterly alien to the trio and all of it was in a crimson blood design.

However, the design isn't what made the most profound impact on the trio. 

An overflow of Magical Energy flowed through the entirety of the Siren Blood Mage organization. And the trio could only just vaguely perceive this mysterious form of power. 

Even Darcel, who seemingly had the most time sensing Magical Energy, could barely perceive anything from it now.

"Tch.here comes more of them." 

"Wonder how quick these people will fail this time...."

Suddenly, the low but not so subtle murmurs of the surrounding Mages awoke the trio from their stupor. 

Gazing around the Main Hall, the trio obverse the Mages and were made immediately curious about their current outfits.

Matching the crimson design of the place, each Mage member wore bright crimson Magical Robes. Some Mages have shiny crimson star designs inscribed on their robes, while others had exotic patterns that lined up to the design on the walls.

Their outfits were genuinely offputting and matching their peculiar looks were the Mage's slightly oppressive Magic Auras. Compared to other Mages the trio encounter, these Mages exuded a significant prominent aura of death.

The looks these Siren Blood Mages gave them were, of course, filled with overt disdain as if they were gazing at mere servants.

Although, their looks only lasted before returning back to their own devices. 

"Huee~. Seems like Bella's words are truthful." A low whisper leaked from Aniela's mouth.

The mere fact that these Mage didn't immediately try to run them out of place just goes to show they certainly are a rare breed. 

And since there wouldn't be any trouble, Darcel, Aniela and Masami locked their eyes on the main desk.
