<<XAVIER ARSELWOOD>>
<<STATUS: ALIVE, BUT GRIEVING FOR THE DEATH OF HIS COMPANION. ALSO IN CAPTIVITY(CAPTURED BY THE VORACITY BEAST)>>
[[Xavier Arselwood, also known by his friends as Xavier, was a young man who hailed from the southwest corner of the Plane King Realm. He was born from a humble family of 8, with his father working as a clerk on a small bank and his mother laboring as a part-time teacher]]
[[He was nothing more but a normal kid with normal dreams, but his talent can be said to be extraordinary. He was said to be talented in the realm of Spatial Magic and Fate Magic. Many said that he is a once-in-an-eon prodigy that must be protected, and that if he grows up to the future, he has a high chance of becoming a Monarch.]]
[[But even with his talent, Xavier did not accomplish much on his childhood because of his cowardice. This led to him being ridiculed by everyone, to the point that he tried to commit suicide-]]
[[It was unknown who stopped Xavier from killing himself, but according to the Senior Abyss General, the person who stopped Xavier from killing himself was possibly the one who made him a Traveler. This can be supported by the fact that Xavier started his role as a Traveler just a day after his failed suicide.]]]
[[[Prior to his arrival at this world, Xavier had already gone through 10 other Worlds. Through these adventures, he gained a power level of Peak Fifth Stage, and he only needs one little push to reach the Sixth Stage. With his talent, he can easily do it, but because of his cowardly attitude, reaching the Sixth Stage is also an impossibility for him now.]]]
[[Traveler Xavier has 3 Companions with him, which to the surprise of the investigators, were all at the Sixth Stage. This level of power should be heaven for any other Traveler, but for Xavier, his Companions were the opposite.]]
[[Because of his cowardly attitude, Xavier was always getting bullied and pushed around by his Companions. Instead of him calling the shots, it was his Companions who order him and make him serve them.]]
[[[Traveler Xavier is affiliated with the Holy Order Church, which is a decision made by his companions. Both he and the Holy Order Church seem unhappy with this situation, but both had no choice but to form an alliance.]]]
[[[The names of the Traveler Xavier's companions were Beatrice, Android 679, and Fairy Duchess Matilda. Their powers as mentioned before were all at the Sixth Stage, making them a dangerous foe against anyone.]]]
[[[Known Powers: Traveler Xavier wields both Space and Fate Magic, while Beatrice is an adept Sword God. Android 679 is similar to the Overlord, and the Fairy Duchess wields a power like the esteemed Guide Asteria.]]]
[[[Some minions said that Beatrice is also a Divine Maiden, and that she possesses the Skin of Omniscience, which is a Divine Sensory Organ. This makes this woman a danger against the Divine Maiden Alina, and it is not a stretch to say that the former will surely try to make a move against Alina on the Welcoming Ceremony.]]]
[[[Recommended Battle Tactic against Traveler Xavier: Attack the Traveler himself and ignore his allies. He is the weak link of the group, which means that defeating him will be the easiest.]]]
[[[Danger Rating: 9 out 10. This could be lower, but the power of his companions and the support given by the Holy Order Church has solidified this rating.]]
*****************
<<SHI XINGYUN>>
<<STATUS: ALIVE, BUT IN CAPTIVITY(CAPTURED BY THE VORACITY BEAST))>>
[[The next Traveler investigated was Shi Xingyun. She was a princess of a mighty empire that ruled a star field in the Immortal Destiny Realm. With her talents in Immortal Cultivation and an innate sense of leadership, Shi Xingyun was set to be the first ever Empress of her Empire.]]]
[[But due to an invasion of a foreign race, this Empire fell overnight, turning Traveler Shi Xingyun into a vagrant royalty hounded by her enemies. The power of this foreign race was enough to bring Shi Xingyun to the brink of her death, and the only reason she survived was because of a beggar who wantonly turned her into a Traveler.]]]
[[[Traveler Shi Xingyun had conquered missions in 12 Worlds already, a feat that made her one of the most experienced Travelers amongst the younger generation. On her side were 2 Travelers, both that yielded mysterious powers that raised the over-all power of her team.]]]
[[[Shi Xingyun is allied with the Goetic Palace, although the relationship between them is somewhat chilly.]]]
[[[Known Powers: Shi Xingyun is an Immortal Cultivator and a Conqueror's Aura Wielder. Both Power Systems were at the Sixth Stage, which was already enough to make her an offensive juggernaut. Her two Companions have no names whatsoever, and their powers still have no proper explanation. But just like Shi Xingyun, these companions were also at the Sixth Stage.]]]
[[[Recommended battle tactic against Traveler Shi Xingyun: She is a prideful woman, and any verbal attack about her Empire or her ability to rule will be an effective way to agitate her. The usage of the Conqueror's Aura is also encouraged, and this power has a possibility of getting stronger if Shi Xingyun were to be defeated.]]]
[[[Danger rating: 9.5 out of 10. This rating could change once the power and identity of her two companions were to be known.
**************
<<OVERRON>>
<<STATUS: ALIVE, BUT IN CAPTIVITY(CAPTURED BY THE VORACITY BEAST))>>
[[[The third Traveler is Traveler Overron. He is not to be mistaken with Oberon, the King of Fairies. Overron is a clone made up from one of Oberon's cells, and Overron's sole purpose in life was to breed and create children for Oberon himself.]]]
[[[Not much was known on how Overron became a Traveler, but his transformation into a Traveler was accompanied by the destruction of Oberon's Fairy Realm, along with the death of the latter's family.]]]
[[[Just like Shi XIngyun, Traveler Overron has two companions on his side, both that are the same specie as him.]]]
[[[Traveler Overron is allied with the Nature Cult, a religion that worsh.i.p.s the True God of Life and Creation EARC. It was said that Traveler Overron is treated lavishly like a king by this religion, a factor that might make him a difficult enemy to deal with.]]]
[[[Known Powers: Traveler Overron wields Fairy Magic, a magic that only creatures like him can wield. He is at the Sixth Stage, which is enough to make him a dangerous opponent. Traveler Overron's Companions both wield Fairy Magic too, but due to their late team-up with him, both only have a power level of around Fifth Stage.]]]
[[[Recommended Battle Tactic against Traveler Overron: Inquire all the known weaknesses of Fairy Magic from the esteemed Guide Asteria, and use it against Overron.]]]
[[[Danger Rating: 8 out of 10. Overron might only be the only Sixth Stage Being in his team, but the zealous support by the Nature Cult to him makes him hard to deal with.]]
************
<<ISKANOR>>
<<STATUS: ALIVE, BUT IN CAPTIVITY(CAPTURED BY THE VORACITY BEAST))>>
[[[The fourth Traveler is a Spirit Warlock that goes by the name of Iskanor. He hails from the Spirit Spring Realm, and he was one of the sons of the fearsome Spirit-Devouring Monarch.]]]
[[[He has the talent to succeed on his father's footsteps, but after the Endless Monarch pummeled the Spirit-Devouring Monarch on a dispute, the Spirit-Devouring Monarch had to gift Iskanor as a Traveler to the Endless Monarch.]]]
[[[Due to his aloof nature and incredible Spirit Abilities, Traveler Iskanor only has one companion by his side, and this companion was his soul-bound slave. Both of them are powerful in their own right, and nobody who crossed their paths had ever survived.]]]
[[[Traveler Iskanor only went through 9 Worlds as of now, but it was said that he performed all of his missions in a perfect manner.]]]
[[[Traveler Iskanor did not ally himself with any religions. Instead, he forcefully dominated one, and he turned himself into this religion's sole ruler. This religion was the Phaseless Tomb, a religion which worship the True God of Reality and Illusion TILEA]]]
[[[It was unknown on how Traveler Iskanor managed to subdue and rule over the Phaseless tomb, although the possibility that his inborn Supreme Spirit assisted in this matter is highly plausible.]]]
[[Known Powers: Iskanor was a Sixth Stage Being that practiced the way of Spirit Arts. He was also born with a Supreme Spirit, which gives him an easy path to Transcendence. Combining these two powers together gives Iskanor a power that only Half-Step Transcendent Beings can resist.]]]
[[[Iskanor's Soul-Bound Companion has not revealed her powers yet, as all of her victims and those who investigated her were killed by her power. But it is sure that she's at least a Sixth Stage Being too.]]]
[[[Recommended battle tactic against Traveler Iskanor: Any ability that can weaken or counteract Spirit or Soul-Based abilities are needed in order to defeat Iskanor. But because of his Supreme Spirit, a greater level of power was also needed to ensure a victory against him.]]]
[[[Danger Rating: 9.8 out of 10. Without any preparation, it is not advisable to seek this Traveler out. Only attack him if the situation requires it, or if the attacker is sure of his or her victory.
**************
<<TALIA>>
<<STATUS: ALIVE, BUT IN CAPTIVITY(CAPTURED BY THE VORACITY BEAST))>>
[[[The fifth and final Traveler investigated by the minions is Traveler Talia, who is the sister of the Holy Order Envoy Delia. Like Delia, Traveler Talia also comes from the same hometown, and she was just as skilled in martial arts as her sister.]]]
[[[Traveler Talia became a Traveler through the person who turned Delia into a Traveler too.]]]
[[[Traveler Talia has 3 Companions by her side, with only two of them reaching the Sixth Stage. These two were called Xia and Guisha, with the former being a Chronomancer and the latter being an Asura Demon. The other remaining companion had no powers at all, which makes this person's status as a companion a mystery.]]]
[[[Traveler Talia had allied with the Red Tower, a religion which worsh.i.p.s the True God of War and Deception PECED. This discovery comes to no surprise to the investigators, as her attitude and the power of her allies fit with the Red Tower's principles.]]]
[[[Due to her fast-paced attitude and her ability to perform missions quickly, Traveler Talia had more Worlds visited than Delia herself, which totaled to 6 just before this current world.]]]
[[[Known Powers: Traveler Talia follows two Power Systems; the Staff Sage Martial Arts and the Void Prowler Compendium, both which are the Sixth Stage. Her two companions as mentioned before were a Chronomancer and an Asura Demon, who were both at the Sixth Stage too.]]]
[[[Recommended battle tactic against Traveler Talia: Attack the powerless companion, and if possible, kidnap this companion and use her as a hostage against Traveler Talia. If this method is not preferred, the esteemed Abyss Envoy's link with Traveler Delia can also be used.]]]
[[[Danger Rating: 9.9 out of 10. Traveler Talia is dangerous, but with the right actions, her threat can be neutralized.
