Chapter 5 - Chapter Four: Mystery reigns amidst the great Jura Forest

The scene picks up where it left off. Ivan is walking towards the border road between the Kingdom of Union and the Empire of Oriana, muttering to himself: Will! Blood! Enemy! Death!

Old man, you knew I was coming, then!

On his way, he conceals the color of his eyes, changing from crimson to black, and keeps his hair silver so no one will discover his secret. He also hides the two swords that Jin had crafted in a royal and luxurious style at a blacksmith's workshop, a craftsman he knew well, when he was training Ivan.

Then he continues towards the road leading to the forest.

As he walks, he senses a strange magical force on the road separating the kingdom and the empire. Thanks to his exceptional eyesight, he glimpses a caravan in the distance. It consists of two carriages carrying a royal caravan from the Empire of Oriana, transporting the daughter of a high-ranking nobleman to the Kingdom of Union for diplomatic relations. Ivan hides quietly so as not to be noticed.

The caravan continues its journey. Inside, a conversation takes place, during which we see the nobleman Hansel Wakiyama's daughter assisting him. Assistant Chika says, "Miss, we're approaching the kingdom."

Priyanka Wakiyama replies, "The Kingdom of Yunyon is so beautiful and unique, but what happened in the last two years is truly sad."

Chika says, "That's right. The son of the Takahashi family caused a huge problem that could have led to a real global crisis."

Priyanka says, "From what I've heard, he's a foolish and stupid boy, so perhaps he was taken advantage of, unlike his exceptional brother."

Chika replies, "Kono Takahashi, the perfect heir to his family, at the age of eight, gained legendary power through a legendary spirit."

Priyanka says, "The legendary black wolf, Fioner."

Suddenly, they are attacked by a group of masked bandits.

One of them said, "So the information about the procession is correct. We must prevent the alliance between the Kingdom and the Empire from continuing."

Another replied, "Hey guys, there's the daughter of a nobleman named Hansel Wakiyama, a very influential nobleman. His daughter, Priyanka Wakiyama, is said to be sexy, attractive, and beautiful."

The bandit leader responded, "Don't worry, you'll have fun too. First, the mission must be completed, or the leader will kill us all. You know how powerful he is, don't you?"

Chika: Guards, what happened?

Guard: An enemy attack... (He was killed).

The bandits began attacking the procession, while the guards held their ground against the magical attacks. The battle intensified, but the guards were soon defeated. Chika: You must stay here and not go out, miss. I will protect you.

Chika went out and began fighting the bandits.

One of them: Interesting. This girl is not only beautiful but also strong and sexy. Guys, we must get her too.

Chika: This is bad. They are strong. They have us surrounded. In a flash, someone said, "The magic of copper chains!

The siege of the star!"

The bandit leader turned, saying, "Who dares?"

Before he could reply, he received a powerful punch to the face. It was Hanamiya Aramaki, commander of the 7th Division of the Kingdom of Yonjun,

and his squad, who had defeated the remaining attackers.

Hanamiya said, "Miss, everything is fine. We will ensure your safe arrival in the kingdom."

Chika: You're the captain of the 7th Division, Hanamiya Aramaki.

Hanamiya: You're Chika Yosante, Miss Priyanka Wakiyama's assistant.

Priyanka: It's good you came. (She was impressed.) Hanamiya Aramaki.

Hanamiya's assistant,

Matthias Herrera, approached to find out the reason for the bandits' attack, asking, "Who are you? And who sent you?"

The bandit leader grinned and said,

"Go to hell, you Union scum."

He drank poison and then disintegrated, to everyone's shock.

Hanamiya and his squad members wondered about the reason and he ordered them, "Matthias, you and Una, take the dead to the Empire. As for us, we'll continue. This was expected. It seems the conflicts have truly begun." (He thought to himself.)

Ivan watched silently and calmly as the scene unfolded.

Hanamiya departed with the noblewoman Hansel and his squad for the Kingdom of Union.

 Shortly after their departure, Ivan headed towards the forest entrance, preparing himself and saying, "And now we begin." The caravan arrived in the Kingdom of Union, where they were greeted by the Viceroy, who took them to rest. Meanwhile, Hanamiya went to the Emperor to report what had happened.

In a dark cellar, an unknown group of people were gathered around a magical circle. The person leading them was Hana Sato.

Hana Sato:

After her failure, she concluded that she had misread the scripture of the god Osiris in runes. The required language was actually ancient Greek.

Hana said, "Dan, have you found what I asked you to find?"

Dan replied, "Yes, Princess, we found the book that speaks of the wings of the angel Michael and the sword of the angel Gabriel."

Hana said, "Very good.

First, we must find the book of ice that contains information about the ancient ice dragon, Coldrick." (Hana smiled as she sat in her chair.) "Yes, I will have you." O mighty, destructive ice dragon, Coldrick:

(Hannah laughed, raising her hand to the sky.)

"Then I will have everything I want, including your demonic power, Lucifer, for my dream of creating a mighty empire and new creatures."

Dan was stunned. "Princess," he said, "is it true that the Ice Dragon Coldrick exists?"

"Yes," Hannah replied.

"But he's just a legend," someone else said.

"No," Hannah said. "He really does exist. But first, we must obtain the wings of the angel Michael and the sword of Gabriel to defeat him." "Don't worry, you will be my loyal followers." The scene returns to Ivan, who is fiercely battling the monsters of the Great Jura Forest. "These monsters are truly powerful," he says, "nothing new to the Jura Forest." As he is about to attack one of the monsters, he senses a magical arrow coming towards him at great speed. He dodges it, looking up into the trees where a shadowy figure stands. And so begins the real excitement.
