Chapter Text
It was a really day cloudy in Roa, which might look perfectly normal to most people but to someone knowledgeable would know something is off.
In the balcony of the Shirone Kingdom's royal palace stood a blue haired petite woman,who had a feeling something was strange here with the sudden gathering of clouds in the west, "What's wrong roxy" questioned Prince Pax, the seventh prince of the Shirone Kingdom.
"Something strange is happening in the west" responded Roxy, the petite blue haired girl who was the teacher of the young but ugly prince. "Oh, so that's where your lover lives, thinking about him already, you already know Roxy that I am way better than him already him, since I am a prince ?" said Pax with pride.
Roxy responded “ he is not my lover, he is just my beloved student ", Pax just gave a grin as if he is going to believe that. Roxy just simply sighed she knew arguing with the braindead prince was not worth her time.
Then Roxy looked again at the strange formation of cloud gathering in the west and nonchalantly stated "I am going to investigate there". Pax responded with shock "wait, you are going to leave?" .
Roxy replied coldly by stating "Obviously, the deal that I made with the king was until you turn 15, so I will be leaving soon". Pax in absolute horror and denial of the situation replied "But…but..if you leave, who will be the one to teach me magic".
Roxy then replied not even with the slight care for the young prince "Find someone else who could teach you magic , honestly teaching you was nothing but a waste of time" then she looked with curiosity to the ever so mysterious formation of clouds in the west.
After hearing such a statement from his master , Prince Pax was both heartbroken and frustrated, he tried to think of a way to stop Roxy from leaving, but this effort will all for naught , since no one could stop something that is fated to happen.
At the top of the red wyrm mountain, stood a man with slightly long white hair and with a stature that every being to exist would fear, he was none other than the Dragon God Orsted . Suddenly a red wyrm flew down to prey on him but a single look at the Dragon god stunned the poor wyrm, he was now stricken with fear, was the man in front of him the prey or was he? was the question on the mind of the poor wyrm, in fear of its own life the wyrm quickly flew away .
The Dragon God stood there as if nothing had happened, looking towards the mysterious cloud formation in sky he muttered "Thats strange , something unusual is happening in the west, i have never experenced such an event in any of my previous loops, i must investigate about it". The Dragon God observed closely the color and formation of the clouds and its direction , he thouroughly studied it and through his vast experience and lifespan identified its source and stated "Its definitely summoning magic, by looks of it the Kingdom of Asura. The question is who is doing this….this might be somesort of ploy set by hitogami and his apostles, i must reach there fast".said the Dragon God as he left for the kingdom of Asura.
The legendary sky floating castle also known as the Chaos Breaker , the legendary hero Armored Dragon King Perugius Dola sat on his throne watching with curiosity of the event perspiring , from his experience he could tell it was summoning magic, but the question on his mind was who was summoning and who was the one being summoned.
He had a bad feeling that it was his arch enemy Demon God Laplace , if so then he must get rid of the person summoning. He summoned his familiar Almamfi the radiant . “What is your command, Perugius sama?"said Almamfi.
"Go down there and check what is happening, if you find something suspicious kill it " commanded perugius, "understood" responded Almamfi as he left for the location.
In Buena village, "Zenith san" said Sylphy, calling Rudeus's mother ,"Oh Sylphy, what got you here dear?"said Zenith. "I came for a visit, are norn and aisha ok?" said Sylphy , "yes , they are both fine but tell me the real reason why you came here" replied Zenith with a cheeky smile as she caught her red handed.
Sylphy blushingly replied "Well i just wanted to give Rudy a present for his tenth birthday". Zenith thought 'even though we separated them, she still thinks of Rudy, thats good I hope Rudy does not betray her feelings in the future just like his father did with me'.
"Well, you can give it to Lillia to send it to him in a mail" said Zenith,"Thank you Zenith san" replied Sylphy as she left to find Lillia,the housemaid.
Sylphy entered the house, where Lillia welcomed her , "What brings you are lady Sylphiette?" said Lillia." I was wondering if you could send Rudy a gift for his tenth birthday present that I made" replied Sylphy.
"I see, that will not be of any issue until then i will keep it safe and send it to master Rudeus later" said Lillia in her usual demeanor. "Here then take it, I made a pendant for Rudy, that my father suggested so that he never forgets about me" said Sylphy as she hands the pendant to Lillia.
Then Aisha came into the room and stated " mother, i have picked up the clothes" Lillia replied " now put them in the basket for laundry". Aisha replied "alright" as she left.
"The sky seems awfully cloudy today, i don't think this is usual" said Sylphy nervously looking at the sky,"Indeed" agreed Lillia, she was a smart woman, she knew its really unusual for things like this to happen normally.
Then for some reason Norn starting crying, it was then revealed Zenith said she tried to tell Norn about the Superd race, then again it was not really unusual for a child to get scared of the stories of Superd race and start crying, Zenith tried to calm her down but to no avail.
Paul Greyrat, the patriarch of the family finally entered the house and questioned what was the commotion about,"Oh dear, can you please make Norn stop crying" said Zenith as she handed Norn to Paul, in the hands of Paul Norn slowly stopped crying. Paul then calmly said with worry “monsters are growing in numbers recently here, i better inform Philip of what's happening and the sky is really messed up today” .
In the plains near Roa, Rudeus, Eris and Gyslaine stood , Rudeus said as he started to use some spells "Water ball",a huge ball of water formed on the staff gifted by Eris. Rudeus said with excitement “ Wow, I have never created a water ball this big, this thing is really powerful”, Eris replied with pride “Obviously, glad you like it”, Rudeus nodded happily.
"Alright, today I am going to show you two of my strongest magic spell Water Saint tier Spell : Cumulonimbus" declared Rudeus with pride as it was his greatest technique his master Roxy had taught him.Both Eris and Gyslaine cheered with excitement.
Rudeus took a huge breath and started spellcasting "Grand spirit of water and imperial prince of lightning who ... huh what is that? "questioned Rudeus as he stopped suddenly.
Eris was confused and questioned "What happened Rudeus, why did you stop?". "What is that thing in the sky?" asked Rudeus.
Gyslaine quickly used her demon eye to confirm what the circular structure was and stated with astonishment"What an insane amount of mana". Gyslaine declared "Rudeus, Eris lets go and leave, it's not safe here, let's go we have to inform Philip sama and Sauros sama quickly".
As they began to leave, a mysterious flash of light tried to attack Rudeus but Gyslaine was there to protect him in the right amount of time. “Gyslaine , are you ok what happened?” questioned Eris as she could not understand the situation. Gyslaine warned “Eris, Rudeus stay back this guy is dangerous”.
The enemy that attacked Rudeus wore a mask and a school uniform. He said “Stay away woman,I came here by the orders of Perugius sama if I kill his child this calamity might stop” said Almanfi the radiant.
Rudeus thought ‘ What!? Perugius sama, isn’t he the legendary hero, why would he want to me dead’. Gyslaine responded to Almanfi “Leave us alone, Rudeus has nothing to do with this, I swear on my title as a Sword King and as a member of the Deoldia tribe ” ,
Almanfi was surprised and said “You are a Sword King?! like I would believe such lies”. Gyslaine responded “Then feast your eyes upon my beloved Sword Flat Core , which was given by my master, The Sword God Gal Farion himself, is this not enough proof to you ”.
Almanfi responded “ Very well, but if you are lying, then your fate shall be decided by Perugius sama himself ”with those words Almanfi shifted his gaze towards a surprised Rudeus.
Rudeus tried to calm down Almanfi by first politely introducing himself to him “ Nice to meet you, I am Rudeus Greyrat. I think there has to be some misunderstanding here, I was just showing these two my strongest spell, Water Saint Tier Spell: Cumulonimbus , as I was chanting the incantations for that spell then these mysterious clouds started forming, I was not even able to release the flow of mana from my staff ”.
However this made Almanfi even more furious and replied “A saint tier spell?! , do honestly you take me for a fool, most grown humans can't even perform such a feat but you are nothing but a mere child” said Almanfi in his rage. “If not for that Sword King, I would have already slaughtered you” continued Almanfi.
Rudeus thought in his mind “Dammit, I should not have said that I was able to use Saint tier spells so carelessly , he is even more suspicious of us right now”.
Then suddenly the sky turned more dark and scary, Eris questioned "Woah, what is happening Rudeus?! ", Rudeus responded “I don't know what is going on Eris?”. Eris replied “but..but you always know what is happening”.Rudeus responded “Eris, I am not a god, I don’t know everything”. Rudeus thought “ shit, this is not good , i don’t even know what is even happening or going to happen at this point ”.
Gyslaine opened her eye patch and looked again with the demon eye at the calamity that was happening before her, she thought “ this is an insane amount of mana that is flowing in the sky , the mana is..concentrating on a single place as if it's going to strike at one place, by how coordinated it is, this has to be the work of someone, i don’t know what will happen if that immense beam of mana hits us, but it is better to avoid it ”. Gyslaine then stated “Rudeus, Eris be careful the flow of mana is concentrating on a singular point, it could strike any of us if we don’t go to a safer place”.
Rudeus thought “ concentrating!? , i get it now so.. it's charging up like a cannon as if it's going to fire. Good estimation Gyslaine, I know the smart thing to do is to run away to a safe place but to where, we are so far away from the manor, I doubt we will reach it in time before it fires”.
As Rudeus was in deep thought , it finally happened a strong beam of absolute bright light hit a area roughly half a mile away from them, this bright flash of light caught the attention of everyone not only in Roa but in the entirety of the Fittoa region.This powerful beam light caused heavy destruction and caused a giant crater to appear the place it struck. It happened so suddenly everyone was caught by surprise and left nothing to be able to do, but luckily for everyone it just happened to hit an empty area.
After the beam of light had seceded, it left a crater that was roughly 43 meters long and 12 meters deep, every tree in the vicinity of the crater was destroyed .Soon the mysterious mana calamity was starting to clear up, the sky was turning back to normal slowly and steadily. Rudeus, Eris, Gyslaine and even Almanfi were caught by surprise by the recent events that transpired a few moments ago.
Rudeus thought ‘ Thank god, that beam did not hit us, otherwise we would have all been toast,..the sky..is turning back normal again ’. Gyslaine again looked through her demon eyes and thought ‘ The concentration of Mana is ...dispersing, so that must explain the sky going back normal, what the hell was that calamity…no.. I don’t think it was supposed to be a natural calamity, either way i am relieved that it did not hit us’.
Almanfi thought ‘ That Beam… what was that, it instantly destroyed the surrounding area and created a crater. I was going to evade that beam if it were to ever get close to me. Still I have suspicion on that little boy… Rudeus Greyrat was it, but for now I must investigate the crater as per Perugius Sama‘s orders’ then he left in a flash to the nearby crater.
Gyslaine was confused when Almanfi left and wondered ‘ that guy what is he up to now, don’t tell he is going to the crater…’ Gyslaine then told the other two “ Eris , Rudeus follow me we are going to investigate the crater”. With that both Eris and Rudeus followed behind her.
Almanfi went to investigate the crater that was made by the mana calamity , not far behind was Gyslaine followed by Eris and Rudeus, Almanfi upon reaching the crater they was absolutely flabbergasted .
Inside the crater that was formed they found a girl with black hair, she looked like she was 17 . She was in a school uniform, Almanfi curiously asked the girl " Who are you ?, are you some kind of hero that was summoned?". However the girl looked confused as if she could not understand a word he was saying.The girl started speaking an unknown language that Almanfi could not understand.
Gyslaine , Rudeus and Eris finally arrived, shocked to only see a girl in the middle of a crater, all three of them were shocked and utterly dumbfounded. But even if he was shocked , felt an unusual familiarity upon seeing the girl’s face. The only words that formed on Rudeus’s mind was “THAT…GIRL...ITS HER AGAIN”.
