Chapter 37: STEALING THE TEMPLE OF MAGIC
STEALING THE TEMPLE OF MAGIC
Abruptly, a surge of magical energy emanated from Sara, weaving into the ethereal expanse of the enchanted realm.
These tendrils of power ascended towards the celestial sky, intertwining with the stars themselves, forging a connection. Sara deftly manipulated the stellar forces, attuning herself to the ancient magic of the Temple.
As a consequence, the once serene sky quivered and ruptured, causing the stars to plummet and dissolve. The energy that had originated from Sara now retraced its path, converging back into her being.
In seizing the essence of the mystical grounds, Sara unintentionally triggered the destabilization of the entire Temple of Magic.
The celestial disarray extended beyond the heavens. Even the crystalline floors began to fracture. It was only a matter of moments before the entire realm succumbed to implosion, teetering on the brink of irreversible destruction.
-----
"Damnit, Sara you broke this bloody temple", I said to Sara.
Every time that I absorbed the magic circuitry from a magic artifact in my previous life, I destroyed the artifact. Sara now obtained the magic of this Temple of Magic, and this temple would soon collapse.
"We must get out of here quickly", I told my friends as we rushed back to the door that we came in from.
As we reached the door, more than half of the realm had already collapsed into nothingness. As we exited the realm, the Temple of Magic was gone.
"Hell, the Earth is falling on us", Chash shouted out to warn us.
The destruction of the Temple of Magic caused the underground to collapse with it. We would be soon buried under this ground.
"Follow me", Sara told us as she cast her magic.
Suddenly, magical wind swirled around us forming a ferocious tornado. The tornado drilled its way back to the surface, bringing us back with it.
"Tornado Hammer"
The destruction of the Temple of Magic caused a large part of the east forest to collapse, leaving behind a devastated land that was destroyed in the magical earthquake that took the land.
------
The collapse of the ground destroyed our surveying camp. Luckily for us most of our people escaped the destruction. They were after all thieves from the Temple of Solomon who could move like the wind.
"What happened down there in the ground? Are you successful at stopping the drawing of predators to this place?" Camliden asked us when we found them.
"The wild animals will not gravitate to this place anymore", Sara said to us suddenly.
"Did you alter the magic of the Supreme Conjurers?" Rinna asked her.
"No, I took away the Temple of Magic. Without it, the magic it cast in this place is gone", Sara replied to her.
"Did you really take the Temple of Magic? What kind of treasure is that?" Ratatouille asked Sara.
"The stars and constellations inside the Temple of Magic are inside of my heart now", Sara told us to our surprise.
"Damnit, Sara, you awakened your Templar magic, by eating the Temple of Magic", I said to her.
"I can cast templar magic now?" Sara asked us.
"That could be the case. You have become a human and also a templar conjurer", Rinna said to her.
"This girl's magic is really strange. It defies everything we know about magic", Ratatouille said to us.
"How strong is your templar magic with the infusion of the Temple of Magic?" I asked Sara.
"My magic is still restrained by the capacity of my magical heart although it gives me all the stars that a templar needs to conjure their magic", Sara told me.
"Damn, templars spend much of their life acquiring stars in their templar skies, you got the whole sky just like that", I said to her.
"Sara is special especially with magic", Rinna said to us.
"What are we going to do about the forest? It's been devastated", Camliden asked me suddenly.
"Well, consider us lucky. We fell all the trees in the forest in one swoop which otherwise would take weeks or months clearing", I said to him.
"Will the conjurers come here asking about the Temple of Magic?" Chash asked us.
"I have no idea about that, but this land belongs to me now", I replied to him.
"We should make a trip back to Istiopolis city", Rinna suggested to me.
"Yes, there is a lot of equipment that I need to bring over", Sara told us.
So, Rinna touched my chest to connect with the Ziggurat artifact contained inside the Valhalla Crux inside my soul. Soon, a magical stargate appeared before us, leading us back to Istiopolis city.
"If we are to stay in Tarah city, there should be a better way to get back to Istiopolis city without using my Ziggurat", I said to Rinna.
"I have the same thoughts. I will build a magic corridor from my temple to the forest", Rinna told me.
"That would be convenient", I said to her.

"Spellmaster, what do you think about the taking of the Temple of Magic by Sara?" I asked Spellmaster.
"This is a fortunate event. Although Sara has evolved into a human, she doesn't have the means to awaken Templar magic. This is her way of awakening the Templar sky without an actual awakening. She is the only one in all of this world who could do this", Spellmaster told us.
"Does it mean she can cast any templar spells that she wants now?" I asked Spellmaster.
"I can cast your bloody templar spells even without the Temple of Magic. This only makes the process easier with a programming language to guide me", Sara told me.
Sara could understand the intricacies of magic at the most basic level because she could see the circuitry of magic.
Previously, she could cast magic by mimicking the circuitries of magic when magic is cast from artifacts or others and replicate that magic inside of her. She could improve on those circuitries too.
However, her magic was restricted if she had to mimic other people's magic. With a templar sky, she gained a programming language that could help her cast and craft her own magic.
"Yes, Sara, you can cast templar spells like most templars now", he replied to her.
