After several minutes, the judge announced the end of the competition: "The winning team in the sword competition is the Blood Moon Assassins." A beautiful smile spread across Lucy's face as she rested her head on my chest. "Did we win a competition?" "Yes, you won because the Sword Masters used a real assassin in combat, and there's no law against killing enemies during battle, so I won't be prosecuted." Our companions rushed forward, their faces beaming with joy. "We won!" they shouted as they tossed Lucy and me into the air. At the honor of the arena, a look of anger crossed Duke Belgorod's face as he looked towards the ring. "You won in the end!" But his expression turned to shock when he noticed a note under his drinking glass that read:
[Funny: Making one of our opponents an assassin. He's Achilles, right? A real assassin and bastard who enjoys killing women. But I'll make you regret it. Well, I'll meet you after the final round of the competition, and I promise you it will be quite shocking.]
Five hours later, Emperor Gunhars Jonelvin presented us with the championship trophy. The official, who was awarding us the first-place platinum medals, spoke calmly as he handed us the trophy, which was made of white and regular gold and adorned with diamonds. "Here is the championship trophy."
"Thank you, Emperor."
"You're welcome. It was thanks to your tireless work."
Two hours after the coronation ceremony in the training hall, the coach announced the manager's decision: "The manager has given you a three-week vacation. Rest and do as you please. See you later." He then left. Three minutes later, Grie had an idea about what to do next. "Why don't we go to a café to celebrate our victory?" We all enthusiastically replied, except for Beatrice, "We agree!" Grie responded with unusual enthusiasm, "Let's go to Ain Sultan Café."
Fifteen minutes later, we arrived at Ain Sultan, a restaurant with a Damascene Arabic style. Grie sighed with relief that we found an empty table, as it was usually packed. "We're here." Roici asked us what we would like to drink. A sudden, sharp sound pulled them off their conversation, and they all turned to me with puzzled looks. "Hey guys, what's up?"
Ruichi spoke with some surprise about something I was drinking. It smelled unlike any of the drinks or juices he was used to. The aroma of chocolate emanated strongly from the glass and my mouth, which puzzled him. "What are you drinking? Why does it smell like chocolate?" I looked at him, puzzled by his question. "It's a chocolate milkshake. Why do you ask?" Everyone looked at me, puzzled by what this thing was. "What is it?" I thought, "Oh, I'm in Victorian times. These things haven't been invented yet." "A drink made with chocolate, milk, and other things. Do you want some?" I explained what it was and asked if they wanted some too. "Yes, we want some." *Snapping fingers* "Here you go." Suspicion crossed their faces as they wondered if I'd made something up out of nothing, but before any of them could speak, I changed the subject. "Lucy, how are you feeling?" "That your strength has increased significantly, and your control over the Time Ruler's power, Chimera, has grown," she began, speaking arrogantly as if she hadn't been dead for hours. "Yes, my strength has increased greatly. I've reached the level of a half-Time Ruler." Beatrice spoke in a calm voice between us, looking at us. "Strange, after your revival, something within your soul that prevented you from using magic was destroyed. I think I understand the reason for your rapid mana depletion and your inability to control the Time Ruler's power, Chimera." Beatrice paused for a moment between us, looking at everyone's shocked faces. I remained silent, looking at her. She sighed deeply before continuing, "After several deductions that lasted a full five hours, I discovered that a curse was placed in the mana core within your heart, preventing you from using magic. Strange, it was a curse created by the Fourth Curse Ruler, Castor Wulmanargues." The signs of shock on Lucy's face were undeniable, impossible to hide. But she moved past it. He then commanded her to speak in a confident tone.
"It means I've become both a swordswoman and a mage."
I looked at him with a sly smile.
"What does that say about your ability to learn alchemy, a field typically reserved for knights and mages?"
After a dangerous hour, an idea struck me: "Why don't we explore the secret corridors of the academy and uncover its secrets now?" Everyone responded in unison, agreeing to my request. A look of confusion crossed Gry's face. "But how will we find one of the entrances outside the academy?" I replied directly, "Easy, we'll create one." Roichi questioned me with a mixture of suspicion and doubt, "How will we do that? This is the capital of the Berhes Kingdom, not just any city."
A smile appeared on my face, an ominous sign that only added to their confusion. "Easy, by sensing the location through mana and teleporting through..." As I finished speaking, waves of purple mana appeared, sensing everything. Around her, like a sonar beam, after several minutes she had found a tunnel 67 kilometers deep, right under us. "I found one," Lucy said. "Where?" I pointed with my finger towards the ground, moving it up and down. "It's right under us. Let's go." I used the magic of the place to transport them into tunnels. We began to fade away little by little, which surprised those present. Inside one of the tunnels, Armin said admiringly, looking at the magical inscriptions. "Wow! A huge place, packed with defensive runes of level 9 and above." Tom went to one of the runes and began to examine it, showing signs of shock. "What is this ancient language? I've never seen it before. Even in my previous life, as the Highest Holy Ruler, I never heard of any tunnels under the Verselkin Academy. But how did he know? Even these runes are unlike anything I've seen before, filled with magical energy." He looked at me with some surprise and caution. Who in the name of Hell's creator are you? How did you know about this place when it wasn't even mentioned in the records of the rulers themselves? But a strange voice snapped him out of his reverie. "Come on, stop studying. We're on vacation." Tom sighed and used both copying magic and radar to copy all the runes inside all the tunnels. He looked shocked again, realizing that all the tunnels led to a single location. He couldn't pinpoint the exact location because something powerful was preventing him from finding or knowing it, but he decided to postpone it for later, as he didn't have time.
As we wandered through the secret passages, something jumped out...White stains on my face.
A bump.
I grabbed it while wiping my face, my expression showing annoyance. "What's that?" I turned to face it and discovered it was a white fox. "It's beautiful. Why is it scared?" Lucy said, stroking the fox's head. Grey, Tom, Roichi, and Armin all placed their hands on their sword hilts, sensing the presence of a group of monsters advancing towards us at increasing speed. Grey spoke cautiously as he performed one of his family's techniques.
"Blind Presence." A technique that allows him to sense and see his enemies by sending waves of mana into the air.
"There are several monsters heading towards us. There are 50 Dark Elves, 36 males and the rest females." A short while later, the Dark Elves arrived, weapons pointed at us. "Stop!" said the leader of the group called Selvarsa, ordering them to lower their weapons. She advanced towards me with steady steps and knelt on one knee. This shocked everyone, but I ignored them and listened to Selvarsa explaining her position. "This is a fox who ate the seven Hellfire Jewels, my lord, and we want to retrieve them and take the wealth of the Goddess of Life, whom this fox insulted." I sighed deeply, looking at the fox with a glare. "Very well, no problem. Here are seven royal jewels." I gave her seven jewels, each representing a law: the Law of Life, Mortality, Existence, Nothingness, Justice, Time, and Chaos. Signs of gratitude appeared on Selvarsa's leader's face. "Thank you for this favor, Your Majesty." I waved my hand dismissing them. "Good. Leave now." Unlike them, they showed no signs of annoyance or gratitude and disappeared as if they had never been there. Surprise appeared on everyone's faces. Lucy spoke while stroking the head of the nine-tailed fox. "Why were they calling you King?"
"I tricked them into thinking I was King Beatrice," Beatrice said, walking ahead, ignoring us. "That makes more sense. They hurt us more." "Advance!"
But Tom didn't believe a word I said. His suspicion only grew, but he remained silent because he hadn't found any evidence to support his claims.
Two hours later,
Deep in the tunnels, Roichi spoke firmly, looking down at the floor. "Be careful, there are traps in this part of the secret tunnels." Gray spoke enthusiastically and confidently. "Well, now that we know, we won't fall into any traps." But his expression changed completely. "Guys," we replied, our faces dark, praying that what we were thinking was wrong. "Yes, Gray."
"You know," we all said in unison, "one of the traps has been set." "Yes."
We then fell.
Roichi spoke with fierce anger as we fell.
"If anything happens to us, I'll kill you, Gray. I promise you that!"
Boom! Boom!
We started falling like human bombs, but nothing happened to us because our bodies were reinforced with mana.
I shouted, asking about everyone's condition.
"Are you?" All of them
Q
They all responded in unison, "We're fine." She asked about Lucy, who hadn't even appeared yet. "But where's Lucy?" An annoyed voice emerged from beneath me, and I realized it was Lucy's voice. "Lucy, I'm beneath you, you bastard!" I spoke to her, feigning ignorance. "So you're the one who eased the pain of the fall."
Lucy spoke with fierce anger and murderous intent. "Get off me, you wretch!" I got up, laughing smugly. She got up too, her face showing annoyance. "She did this on purpose," she said, brushing dust off her clothes. I spoke defensively. "I didn't do anything." "She altered the duration of our fall by making me fall first." "What's wrong with being stupid? You should have looked at your face when it turned red from my touch on the back of your head." She threw a ball of fire at me, but I easily deflected it. Beatrice, looking surprised, said, "You thought they were making threats." Roicci put his hand to his face while He nodded. "Nothing will change in either of them." Gray interrupted us, having found something. "Come on, I've found something!"
A system window popped up as he headed to the spot Gray had indicated.
[I've found a piece of the Creator-ranked Creation Ruler's Robe. It cancels any attack, regardless of its type, provided the enemy is 3 or 5 times weaker or stronger than a Creator.]
A faint smile appeared, accompanied by a purple glow in my eyes.
"That's good." I walked steadily toward the spot Gray had pointed to. He tried to stop me, but I continued. "Yuta, where are you going?" "To get something royal." A look of confusion crossed his face.
What was it that he had to go to such a dangerous place to get? I sighed with relief as I looked at him. "I found your Creation Ruler's Robe. The robe transformed into golden particles, enveloping me like an energy shield before disappearing." "Good. It merged with my clothes, becoming like a complete leather shield." I called out loudly to a young man, "Guys, let's continue on! I sensed a tunnel leading out of the tunnels!"
After a short while,
we emerged from the tunnels. "What? It's getting dark so fast... We have to go back before it gets too dark," Armin said, looking up at the sky. We set off towards the academy. Three hours later, Lucy spoke with relief, despite the late hour. "Here we are at the academy. I'm tired. Goodnight, everyone." "Goodbye, see you tomorrow." In my room, my gaze fell upon a fox sleeping on a bed. "Hey, nine-tailed white fox, I didn't recognize you! Flexia is one of the Absolute 10 entities, known for the Chaos Monsters, and one of the Absolute (Completely Unlimited) Beyond Outerversal entities."
Author's Note: This means she is on the same level as Feather Hagin, a writer and presence higher than the DC universe, with greater destructive power and construction capabilities, as she is capable of destroying worlds the size of... You'll find out. In the events
Signs of astonishment appeared on her face as she looked at me, then her true form shifted. "You recognized me so quickly?" A slight smile appeared on my face as I looked at her, and she knelt on one knee. "Of course I recognize you, Felixia, thief of the Flame of Eternity and the Eternal Aether Core Book found in the office, Absolute! Hahahaha!"
Signs of embarrassment appeared on her face. "Thank you for the compliment, Creator." My expression hardened, and a tyrannical aura emanated from me, causing her to kneel immediately.
"This is not a compliment, this is a warning. The next time you steal something from me, it will be the end of you."
She replied in a trembling voice from the tyrannical pressure on her, "Yes, sir, as you wish."
I broke the pressure of the aura, moving towards her, grasping her chin, and lifting her head through it.
"I will give you a task, and you must carry it out."
"Yes, sir.""Sir,"
"Keep an eye on him..."
She accepted the task without asking what or why.
"Very well, I'll leave."
He disposed of the lost items.
After several minutes
"I must go to this world.
Somewhere in the Mountain World, a place where rulers live in a castle made of the finest and most magnificent building materials, called the Slave Castle.
He spoke with long, dark black hair and two deep black eyes. In this powerful physique, he wore the armor of the Sword Ruler, named Reinhard, alongside a Digital Ruler who was white, short, and had white eyes, wearing a loose-fitting jacket, named Plato. "Have you heard of something? Will it come this time? Ah, I heard of a third. Me too." He spoke, wearing black armor covering his entire body except his head. He heard all the rulings of the lecture. "Something has arrived at the Eternal Castle."
Five years later, I entered a hall with simple steps. I wore a long, black cigarette dress with blood-red patterns that reached my lower back. It was full of mystery and majesty. I sat on the throne. "Are all the rulers here?" I asked in a deep, calm voice. The Time Ruler, Chimera, responded in a calm, respectful voice, "There is no Ruler of Life, Destruction, or Love. You haven't convened a meeting with me, and I know you're here." He continued, "It seems they don't respect you, my lord. It would be best if you punished them." A hysterical outburst erupted from all the confused rulers. "Hahahahahahahahahahaha! How ridiculous! I don't need their confessions. Every ruler, regardless of their type—ruler of the ordinary world, fantasy, or higher—if they possess even a trace of contempt, I will annihilate them all. Do you understand, rulers?" My final words were filled with a great murderous intent, and they responded calmly while kneeling, "Yes, Creator." My gaze fell upon three rulers, their faces pale: the Seals Ruler, the Chain Ruler, and the Electronics Ruler. They advanced towards me, kneeling directly, sweat pouring from their faces. A ruler spoke in a subdued voice, "W-what do you want from us, or what?" "Creator," I replied in a calm, expansive tone. "What are you doing? Hmm, remember why you participated in fighting a ruler against your Achilles? Speak up!" A deadly silence filled the space left by the other three.
"Speak up, why are you silent?" The three rulers spoke in trembling voices. "Please announce our presence." A faint smile appeared on my face. "Let me think. Another chance is fine, since you didn't know that Creator, no problem, forgiving and generous." A powerful aura pressed, a destructive presence erupted. "But I am not generous for that. If any of you are kind to me, it's over. It's over. It's over. Read what hasn't been explained yet. Some peace initiative." I wiped my eyes. The three rulers sighed with relief. "We succeeded." The Seals ruler spoke in amazement. "I have never seen in my entire life such murderous intent as he had. He wondered if it was suppressed, close to being revealed." The Sword Leader spoke to what was happening in their midst. "The Creator Master is strong, and I might wish to fight him." A powerful punch from the water ruler, who spoke in a tone that suggested...
