Transcript
00:00My mentor gives the blonde girl the best egg in the hall, he tosses me the one no one wanted,
00:05I am last in the rankings, refusal is never an option, for 7 years, I fed it everything I had,
00:11my magic, my sleep, my youth, no one helped, no one noticed, when the shell finally cracks to reveal the
00:18air of Yormankar, the rarest bloodline in a millennium, suddenly, everyone wants a piece of what I've made, the blonde
00:24girl claims him, my mentor backs her up, 3 seniors corner me, forcing me to give him up,
00:29and my lintworm, he just stands there, saying nothing, Aurelia is the only one worthy of me, let me go,
00:34I gave you life, I could take it back, so I drive a blade through his heart, devour his core
00:39and become stronger than all of them combined, 7 years ago, the hatching hall, on the altar lay 20 familiar
00:46eggs, each radiating a different light, Aurelia walked to the center and picked up an egg glowing with golden flames,
00:52this egg is calling my name mentor, she said with a smile, she never once looked at me, the last
00:57egg lay alone in the corner,
00:58Dull, grey white, without a trace of light, Archmaster Maldus gave me a side lay glance, Vesper you are patient,
01:04you can bear this stillness, this one is yours, I cradled it in my hands, heavy, ice cold, it took
01:10me 7 years, I slept with it against my skin every single night, fed it my magic, thread by thread,
01:15I turned down every field trial, missed 3 ascension rites and 4 tower galas, I read every lintworm hatching record
01:22in the grand library, I learned to scrape the absolute bottom of my magical core when utterly exhausted, 7 years
01:27later,
01:28the shell cracked, a boy with silver hair and amber eyes stepped out, he opened his eyes, and I was
01:33the first thing he saw, after that, he never chose to see me again, he became Aurelia's shadow, she practiced
01:40the sword, he played the harp by her side, she frowned, the smiled, he bent over backward to make her
01:45gentleman, all she had to say was such a gentleman, and from that moment on, I became an obstacle in
01:50his way, today, 3 senior apprentice block my path, Lysander stands next to them, he says it to my face,
01:55Aurelia is brilliant, she's beautiful and kind, she is the only one worthy to be my mate, Vesta, if you
02:00actually care about me, break the bond,
02:03the 3 seniors turn to stare, they are not here to mediate, they are here to witness my humiliation, Cedric
02:08speaks first, talking down to me from on high,
02:10Vesta, Lysander is the direct heir of Jormagard, there isn't another bloodline like his in the entire northern frontier, face
02:15reality, dragging this out only makes you a laughing stock, you two were never a match,
02:19Orlando chimes in a soft voice, it's not your fault, it's a matter of bloodline, if you truly love him,
02:25set him free, it would be best for everyone,
02:28Gabriel cuts to the chase, the heir of Jormangel is destined for the highest nobility, and Auraria is a daughter
02:34of the phoenix, it's fate, the whole tower is dying to celebrate their bond ceremony,
02:39standing in their way just disgraces you, word after word, sentence after sentence, then they just wait in Lysander, waiting
02:46for my tears, he turns his head, won't even meet my eyes, he agrees with every single word,
02:527 years, I bled my magic into him, drop by drop, I turned a cold, dead stone into a living,
02:58breathing man, and now they demand I hand him over, if he will not keep faith, then he forfeits the
03:04right to exist,
03:04the meteoric iron dagger sinks into Lysander's chest, I drive it beneath the breastbone, straight into his Lindwarf core crystal,
03:10the one place no hand had reached in 7 years, those amber eyes, always so arrogant, widen in shock and
03:15pain,
03:16Vesper, you, what did you, he stares at me, and really stares, as if the wound had finally taught him
03:21where to look,
03:22I steady my grip, twisting the blade deeper, the meteorite edge crushes his core into dust, not a chance of
03:28survival,
03:29Archmage Maldiz mentioned it in a lecture once, the nine lives of a Lindworm, just a myth,
03:33but the core, that's their fatal weakness, at last, one of Malduza's lessons proves useful,
03:39why wouldn't I, what I gave shape to, I can also destroy, if I want you dead, then you die,
03:45blood runs down the hilt, covers my fingers, Lysander tries to speak, he only chokes on blood,
03:51the light leaves his eyes, his body hits the floor, he shifts back to his true form, a massive silver
03:56white
03:57serpent, its scales go dull at once, stripped of all their glory, it coils across the floor, taking up half
04:03the
04:03room, I don't blink, I watch until he stops twitching, I rip the dagger out, walk to the center
04:09of the room, drop to my knees, I start carving into the floor, deep in the tower's restricted
04:14vault lies a book, the chronicle of primal blood rights, I copied a page from it in secret and hid
04:19it in my room, studying it in silence for seven years, the devourer's gift, a three thousand year
04:24old taboo, no tools required, no setup needed, just one caster, and one formidable sacrifice,
04:31I finish the last rune, I slice my fingertip open, let the blood drip into the center,
04:36I drag Lysander's corpse into the circle, my blood spreads out, it lights up every carved
04:40line, the whole array blazes with dark old light, I've never seen a color like it, but every vein
04:45in my body hums, Lysander's serpent form lights up, first the scales, then the muscles, finally
04:51the bones, everything breaks down, bit by bit, it melts into threads of dark gold energy,
04:57ripped straight from his corpse, flowing right into me, the threads sink through my skin, hook
05:02into my bloodstream, the moment the first thread enters, something explodes in my head, a memory
05:07that isn't mine, locked deep in my soul since the day I was born, it cracks wide open, I see
05:13a creature, it eats stars, swallows light, devours the laws of reality, it has existed since
05:18the beginning of the world, the first predator, the primal devourer, I always thought I was
05:24worthless, my magic was pathetically weak, ever since I entered the tower at 12, I ranked
05:29at the bottom, I thought I was born broken, but now I realize I was wrong, basic magic is
05:34useless to me, everything the tower taught me is worthless, something in me had lain dormant
05:39since birth, seal behind an appetite no ordinary magic could feed, Lysander, the heir of Jormungandr,
05:45the only sacrifice to break the seal in 3000 years, I smile, so that is the truth, Lysander's
05:51body vanishes completely, every drop of his energy floods my veins, the shackles that
05:56bound my magic for 7 years collapse, one by one, when the last of the dark gold vanishes
06:00into me, I rise with an archmage power in my bones, all that's left is a dry ritual ray
06:05and a pool of blood, not a single trace of Lysander, like he never existed at all, I rise
06:11to my feet and roll my wrist, my joints crack, the door bangs open, Maldris stands in the
06:16doorway, Arolia cowers behind him, eyes red and body shaking, she clutches her golden
06:22phoenix, the three seniors flank them, faces pale with terror, how could you, you killed
06:27him and then you devoured him, she breaks down sobbing, Maldris unleashes his full archmaster
06:33era across the room, Vesper, what you did in this room defiles the tower, yet you also
06:39performed a forbidden ritual, by my authority you are cast out and remounded to the abyss,
06:45his power crashes down on me, 7 years ago, this would have crushed me, but now, I'm an
06:50archmage, I hold the power of the primal devourer, I straighten and meet his gaze, killing my bonded
06:56creature, mentor Lysander wasn't a human, he was a familiar, I hatched him from a shell 7 years
07:01ago, tower code volume 7 chapter 3 section 11, a familiar's life belongs to its hatcher, your
07:07language, not mine, Maldris chokes on his own words, Arolia suddenly cuts in, tears already
07:13gathering as if on command, her voice trembles with practiced grief, even if he was just a familiar,
07:19you were together for 7 years, do you feel nothing, he was the heir of Jormagon, that bloodline
07:26was irreplaceable and you just destroyed it, irreplaceable or not, he was mine, he wanted to go
07:31with someone else, so I killed him, I glare at her, you care an awful lot about what belongs
07:36to other people, do other people's belongings always catch your eye, Arolia goes white, the
07:41phoenix in her arm struggles, she grips it tighter, the bird pecks at her wrist, how dare
07:46you, Maldus snaps, he knows I have him cornered on the rules, but Arolia's tears matter more
07:52than his own laws, he cannot accuse me of murdering a familiar, so he pivots, fine, the familiar
07:57was yours, but your mindset is dangerous, you performed a forbidden ritual, you have
08:02shown open malice towards Arolia, someone like you is a threat to this tower, I sentence
08:06you to 3 years in the abyss, the 3 seniors actually flinch, the abyss, the deepest forbidden zone
08:13beneath the tower, toxic magic, poisoned air, feral beasts, most apprentices don't last
08:193 weeks down there, so that is a sentence, death, draped in formal language, a flash of satisfaction
08:24crosses Arolia's eyes, then she fakes a worried look, mentor, surely there is another punishment
08:30the abyss will kill her, please, not that, her mouth says the words, her feet don't move
08:36an inch, my word is final, take her away, the tower guards step forward, I will walk on
08:44my own, I head for the entrance, passing Arolia, I stop, I lean in and drop my voice to a
08:49whisper
08:49just for her, hold that bird close, I may decide I'm hungry, Arolia freezes, she hugs her bird
08:58tighter, pure terror in her eyes, I walk to the edge of the abyss, black mist rolls up
09:03from the dark below, I jump in and let the abyss swallow me whole, I hit the bottom of
09:08the abyss, blood, rot, the stench from hundreds of feral beasts, old bones under my boots, green
09:14eyes flashing in the shadows, growls echoing from every direction, the primal devourer
09:19in my veins wakes up instantly, it feels no fear, only hunger, a forbidden zone, looks more
09:26like a grand feast, I crack a smile, a spike armored boar charges first, bone plates hard
09:31as steel, tusks meant to shred metal, I don't even use magic, I sidestep, drive my bare fist
09:37into its ribs, crack, the boar slams into the rock wall, bone gives way, it dies instantly,
09:43the devourer doesn't just give me magic, it remakes my body, I press my palm to the boar's
09:48chest, dark gold threads rip from its corpse into me, core, bloodline, energy, I take it
09:54all, the corpse crumbles into an empty husk, not a bad start, over the next few days, I hunt
09:59my way through the abyss, shadow panders give me speed, rock shell lizards leave toughness
10:04in my bones, toxic bog toads try their poison on me, and my blood devours that too, the magical
10:09concentration is higher than I expected, I stalk through the abyss like an apex
10:13predator, grating my prey, everything in my path runs for its life, my power surges to
10:18archmage, level 2, every day, I grow stronger, I just killed a two headed wind serpent, as
10:24I reach for its core, I sense movement above, I hide my aura, melt into the shadows, up on
10:29a rock ledge, Maldus, Aurelia, and the three seniors, standing inside Maldus's protective
10:35ward, without it, the toxic air would destroy their lungs in minutes, Aurelia hugs her golden
10:40phoenix, her dress somehow still spotless, she holds a silk handkerchief to her nose,
10:44staring down into the dark, Mentor, the dark magic down here is dreadful, do you think she's
10:49even alive, I'm worried for her, she's resilient, she'll survive, a little suffering might finally
10:55teach her her place, Aurelia strokes her bird's feathers, that's a relief, it is still such a
11:03tragedy that his bloodline was lost, if he were still here, my phoenix could have joined with him,
11:08their cores would have resonated beautifully, the phoenix lets out a sharp cry, backing up its master,
11:13don't waste tears on him Aurelia, Lysandar was rare, yes, but your phoenix is pure blood,
11:18its future reaches even higher, exactly, Vesper is selfish and cruel, she killed Lysandar,
11:24what a loss to the whole tower, you have a heart of gold, stop wasting your pity on her,
11:28Aurelia nods softly, then, she raises her voice, I just think, maybe she's broken down,
11:34lost her way, if she just came out and apologized, Lysandar is gone, but Mentor is generous,
11:41he'd give her a second chance, she doesn't have to suffer here, from the shadows, I listen and wait,
11:46the phoenix breaks free from Aladia's arms, it spreads its wings and dives for my dead serpent,
11:51pure arrogance in its eyes, it thinks the kill is unclaimed, a glowing golden light trails from
11:56its claws as it swoops down, so it comes down after all, before its talons hit the serpent,
12:01I burst out of the shadows, the phoenix senses danger, tries to pull away, too late, my right
12:07hand snaps around its throat, its screech cuts off, it thrashes wildly, golden fire erupts from its
12:13feathers, trying to melt my arm to the bone, but a pulse of dark gold energy instantly snuffs out the
12:17fire, what are you doing, let him go, let him go, Vester, don't you dare, I slowly tighten my grip,
12:26I look up at their faces, everyone is frozen solid, your bird came to steal my kill,
12:32why shouldn't I take it, snap, its neck cracks cleanly under my grip, the phoenix goes limp,
12:38the light in its eyes dies, the golden glow fades, I toss it in the dirt, Aurelia's scream
12:43rips through the abyss, her face turns white, her knees buckle, Cedric barely catches her before she
12:49falls to the ground, my phoenix, you really killed him, tears spill over, her finger points at me,
12:55no sweetness now, only hatred, he was my destined mate, how dare you, how dare you,
13:01mentor, she killed Lysaner, and now she killed my phoenix, Aurelia throws herself at Maldus' feet,
13:08Maldus' face shifts from cold indifference to murderous fury, that phoenix was a pureblood,
13:12handpicked for Aurelia, raised on the tower's premium resources, years of investment, worth far
13:18more than Lysander had ever been, the cornerstone of his entire master plan for Aurelia, and the
13:23student he cast into the abyss to die, has just snapped its neck as if it were nothing,
13:26his archmaced aura explodes, his magic pours out, a giant hand made of raw art power hangs above me,
13:32it slams down, he is trying to kill me, I will grind your soul into ash,
13:37the hand hasn't even touched me yet, the pressure already cracks my bones, the primal devourer roars
13:42awake, I dig my heels in to hold my ground, I look up at him, grind my soul, for a
13:47phoenix,
13:48mentor am I not your student toos, seven years of questions boiling over, something flickers
13:52across his face, it vanishes, buried by absolute rage, shut up, you murdered your bonded beast,
13:58you slaughtered your sister's familiar, and now you play the victim, she wanted Lysaner,
14:02you forced me to give him up, her bird swoops in to steal my kill, and now you want me
14:06dead,
14:06since the day I walked into this tower at 12 years old, she had the best of everything,
14:10every mistake, every unfairness was mine to bear, because she's more talented,
14:14because her tears matter more, because she's the chosen one in your eyes,
14:17then what am I, you pulled me out of an orphanage, was this the plan all along,
14:21was I just a stepping stone, was I always supposed to die the second she needed me to,
14:24answer me mentor, dead silence, the three seniors don't say a word, everyone knows,
14:30it's an open secret, but no one ever ripped it open and forced them to face it,
14:34Aurelia stops sobbing, her eyes dart around, showing the fear of being exposed,
14:39Muldrus's face twists, my words strike a nerve he refuses to face, taking me from the orphanage
14:43might have started as real pity, but year after year, beside Olyria's talent and fortune,
14:47my mediocre gifts lost all value to him, my worth had been decided long ago,
14:51whatever served Olyria best, and now, the tool in his hand has turned on him,
14:54silver tongue, twisted fact, his tone is hard, merciless, he tries to cover the wound I have
15:00carved into his pride, what you have done is beyond forgiveness, the last shred of loyalty
15:04I had for this place, it burns out completely, then as of today, I owe neither you nor this tower
15:09anything, we are done, done, you think a lowest rank apprentice gets to decide when this ends,
15:13this abyss is your grave, the magic hand glows brighter, the power spikes, enough to level the
15:18entire bottom of the abyss, the shockwave alone cracks the ground under my boots into a spider web,
15:22I can't take this hit head on, my eyes lock on the phoenix corpse, broken neck, fainted gold,
15:27the primal devourer roars with hunger, this pure blood core is stronger than Lysiater's,
15:32no time for a full ritual, I grab the bird and shove it against my chest, dark gold threads rip
15:36out
15:36of the corpse, they flood straight into me, pure phoenix essence explodes in my body, every vein
15:41burns, my power surges, arch master level 3, level 4, peak, 3 leaps, 3 heartbeats, Maldus's magic hand
15:48is still dropping, I lift my head, I point a single finger, dark gold energy pools at the tip,
15:53it isn't magic, it's the devourer's source, older, stronger than everything, I flick my finger,
15:59Maldus's peak archmist attack shatters like glass breaking from within, soundless, everything fades
16:04into a thousand specks of light glistening across the abyss, the abyss falls silent, five faces staring
16:09down at me, I'll never forget their expressions, it's the look people wear when their world shatters
16:14before their eyes, I don't hesitate, I launch myself from the bottom onto the ledge, Cedric,
16:19a blast of dark gold energy slams them into the rock wall, they go limp before they hit the ground,
16:23Aurelia crashes to the dirt, paralyzed by fear, Maldus the man who just tried to kill me is frozen,
16:29his eyes are wide with disbelief, I walk up to him a full head shorter, he takes a step back,
16:33mentor do you remember what you told the orphanage mate from the day you brought me here?
16:37Aurelia was next to me, three years older, you adopted her from a top tier noble family the year
16:42before, you said she had the phoenix mark, a once in a century prodigy, seven years,
16:47I woke up two hours early every day to study, she slept in, I stayed up four hours late every
16:51night
16:52to research, she went to galas, in every magical trial I placed at the absolute leg top, you said
16:56she never even sat for an expense, seven years hatching and you tossing like rubbish, I hatched
16:59into the air of Yerma Mangahar, and today, today you tried to kill me for her phoenix,
17:03Maldus's lips tremble, Vesta, I, I press my hand against his chest, your turn, the devourer wakes up,
17:10not death, an archmage does not fear death, this is worse, total eration, his magic, everything that
17:17makes him an archmaster, pulled out, thread by thread, turned into dark gold energy, drawn into
17:22my veins, I do not devour him completely, I let him live, I strip him of everything, magic, affinity,
17:29rank, I leave him breathing, for a man like Maldus, life without magic is worse than death,
17:35I pull my hand back, he collapses, his hair turns white, deep wrinkles carve into his
17:40face, his eyes go dim, he looks up at me, I look down at him, tell me Maldus, who betrayed
17:46whom, Aurelia is still on the ground, too terrified to make a sound, I pick up the phoenix corpse,
17:51most of its energy is gone, even dead, its flesh and bones still have value, the three
17:54knocked out seniors, not worth my time, and then there's Mardus, a few bounds up the abyss
17:58walls, I grab the bird by the wing and leap upward, and I land dead center in the tower's
18:02main plaza, the senior mentors and apprentices are crowded together, panicking over the power
18:06spakes from below, was that archmaster energy, what happened, it came from the abyss, do
18:10we have an intruder, if the archmist is handling it himself, we should be fine, I drop from the
18:14air, holding a dead bird in one hand, pouring out massive dark power without restraint, is
18:19that Vesper, she got out of the abyss, is that the phoenix, that power, peak archmaster,
18:25no way, she's only been down there a few days, Vesper, what are you doing here, that phoenix,
18:30what did you do to Auriria, where is the archmaester, I toss the bird on the cobblestones and sweep
18:36my gaze across the plaza, every apprentice flinches when I look at them, the archmaster,
18:42you mean the man who abandoned me to that place, he tried to kill me, I pause, so I took
18:48everything
18:48from him, impossible, lies, how dare you slander the archmaster, Tivadar and the other mentors
18:54flare their magic, getting ready to take me down, don't believe me, go look, he's on the edge
18:59of the abyss, if you hurry you might just save his life, they feel my power, that cannot
19:04be faked, as for the rest of you, I glare at the mentors, especially fixed on Tivadar,
19:08you all agreed to throw me into that abyss, I move, fast as lightning, three strikes land
19:12before anyone can react, the shields of Tivadar and the other two mentors who approved my sentence,
19:17shatter, piece by piece, one by one they collapse onto the ground, out cold, silence, even the
19:22senior mentors don't have time to lift a finger, as of today, the tower of ashes belongs
19:26to me, if any among you object, step forward, no one, no one bows, but the first one drops
19:33his head, then the second, the third, one after another, every one of them lowers their head,
19:39two guards drag Aurelia into the plaza, her pristine image is ruined, her dress is torn
19:44to shreds, covered in dirt and blood, she drops to her knees, no fake tears this time,
19:50please, I was wrong, just leave me alive, her voice cracks, she crawls towards me, reaches
19:57for my robes, I give her one look, she freezes, it was me, I was jealous, I only wanted Lysomir
20:04for his bloodline, I shouldn't have let my phoenix go after you, she chokes on her sobs,
20:09stuttering, please, we studied together for seven years, just spare me, I'll do anything,
20:13I'll leave the tower, I'll give up the title, daughter of the phoenix, Aurelia, I cut
20:17her off, and crouch down so we are eye to eye, do you remember what you said to me
20:22three years ago, she goes blank, I was hatching Lysander, three months with no sleep, my magic
20:28was so drained I almost fell down the stairs, you grabbed my arm and comforted me, you said,
20:32don't push yourself too hard, when your familiar hatches he'll take care of you, did you mean
20:37any of it, she can't answer, I stand up, looking at the unconscious seniors and mentors,
20:42you told me to do the decent thing and let go, did any of you hear what you were saying,
20:46Lysander was mine, seven years, I raised him from an egg, little by little, and you just
20:50expected me to hand him over, did anyone ask whether I was willy, I did, old man, you kept
20:54Muldrus preaching about Avodia, the daughter of the phoenix, the tower's golden hope, everyone
20:58had to protect her, did you forget, at 12, my control scores exceeded hers by 12%, at 14,
21:04I undertook my first solo mission, I nearly died bringing back a toxic Magrosa from the Blackwood
21:08Ridge, you said adequate, then you spent 20 minutes praising Aurelia for picking a lavender
21:13in the garden, at 16, I volunteered for a beast hunt on the Ebis Rim, you said Aurelia was
21:18a better candidate, she backed out, said she had a headache, the hunt got cancelled, you
21:24never brought my name up again, those jerks his head up, his cloudy eyes are blank, he
21:28has absolutely nothing to say, I stare at his blank face, the last trace of pity in my
21:33chest dies, you all forgot, I didn't choose to be like this, you made me this way, your
21:38favoritessness taught me that resources must be taken, your sentence taught me that stepping
21:43back means getting crushed, your attempt on my life taught me that weakness is a sin, if
21:47you hadn't squeezed every drop of humanity out of me, if you hadn't thrown me in the
21:50Abyss to die, I'd still be the quiet little Vesper, keeping her head down, begging for fair
21:56treatment, you created the monster standing in front of you, utter silence, just Aurelia's
22:01muffled sobs, the crowd is barely breathing, they understand now, I wasn't born cold, they
22:07made me this way, their bias, indifference and cruelty, strike by stroke they forged
22:12me, I square my shoulders and turn away, not looking at their faces, you admitted your
22:16sins, now it's time to pay, Aurelia, she looks up, your apprentice status is revoked, your
22:21magic is sealed, just enough to keep you alive, you will live at the bottom of the
22:24Abyss, where your terror will draw out the lesser beasts, to serve as target practice
22:28for the apprentice, you will live, that much, I will guarantee, but you're going to spend
22:33the rest of your life in the Abyss where you tried to bury me, all the color
22:37drains from her face, she knows exactly what that means, she opens her mouth to
22:41beg, I don't give her the chance, Maldus, for the sake of the one useful thing he
22:46taught me, volume 7 chapter 3 sectional 11, he gets to stay in the tower, stripped of
22:51all privileges, reduced to the lowest servant in the tower, a former archmist, scrubbing
22:56floors and handing out rations, the rest of you keep your lives, for now, but this tower
23:00will never drag anyone down again, starting tomorrow advancement will be earned under my
23:05rule alone, fewer rewards, harder trials, no exceptions, all resources go through me,
23:11I walk toward the main spire, I don't look back, only one thought remains, what I will hunt next.
