Chapter 8 - Chapter Seven: A Mysterious Organization

The story continues on the mysterious island of Valhallen, a place no one dares to enter, according to legend and rumor. It is said to be home to very mysterious creatures, half of them descendants of the terrifying Wyvern race, and the other half demons. These hybrid creatures are known as "Gauths," and they possess the ability to devour everything in their path. However, due to a colossal, invisible wall made of a rare material called "Norma," which is harder than steel, these creatures have never been able to escape. This wall was created by the god Zosin.

On the shores of Valhallen, three unknown figures dressed in black robes appeared. They stood before the sea in an enigmatic manner, raising their hands and using demonic magic, simultaneously uttering: "The Gothic Void Magic (Begamoth)." A purple triangle (the legendary Bemod triangle), adorned with ancient demonic runes, appeared. The entire island, indeed the whole continent, trembled under the immense pressure.

While Emperor Ryohei watched from a palace window, believing the tremor was caused by the event at God Mountain, the scene shifted back to the three mysterious figures walking through the water towards a magical gate. At its center was a purple triangle, flanked by demonic inscriptions. The three plunged into the depths of the sea, where a colossal, unidentified golden pyramid emerged, constructed with opulent, regal designs, suggesting it dated back to an ancient golden age. Its massive gate opened after they placed their hands on specially designed locks that allowed them to open it with advanced magic, as ordinary magic could not. They entered, and the gate closed behind them. The pyramid vanished majestically and spectacularly, as if nothing had happened.

Inside the pyramid, the three mysterious figures reached a chamber, prepared with legendary grandeur. There, we see a majestic royal assembly hall nestled within the pyramid's interior. It is dominated by a radiant gold hue, with a blend of ancient motifs and modern touches that lend the place a magical aura. The most striking and mythical element is the backdrop of the hall: a colossal and dazzling statue of the Winged Dragon of Ra, crafted from pure gold. The dragon spreads its magnificent wings to cover a large portion of the ceiling, its eyes radiating a dim blue light that evokes mythical power and energy.

In the very center stands a massive, mirror-polished circular table, reflecting the surrounding golden light. Thirteen regal chairs surround the table, intricately designed with a combination of gold and luxurious purple velvet, giving the impression that it was intended for a council of sages or great leaders.

The first person: This place has never changed, and this is our first meeting in five thousand years. Here we are, and our great fortune is our alliance with distinguished humans. We lost our complete bodies in that battle, yes, because of the gods and legendary angels, most notably that scoundrel angel, Michael. The second person replied: Lucifer ruined everything. While we were preparing to restore our gods, he started a war in which we were the losers from the beginning.

We see a brief flashback where we witness a devastating clash between the angel Michael and the demon Lucifer in a massive, bloody battle.

The scene returns, and the third person says: Because of his love for humanity, the gods, descendants of the goddess Athena, destroyed that humanity for fear of the birth of the awaited boy of prophecy.

The first person: The awaited boy of prophecy, but they killed him before he could appear. The gods feared that this boy would come and destroy them along with their angelic soldiers, as well as (a look of disgust). The scum of the heavenly inhabitants.

The third person: None of that matters, but what happened on God Mountain has turned all their plans upside down (meaning the gods' plans), and our mission has become easier.

The second person replies: Who would have expected that a child of the Takahashi family would do something like this? Person 1: I don't think he could do something like that, do you? (He glanced at one of their spies.)

The spy from the Kingdom of Yonjun said: That's right. He's a failure, unlike his brother Kono Takahashi. According to the secret investigations conducted by Emperor Ryūhei Yamamoto, there were four others besides him.

Person 2: It makes sense that he would be a target, since his family is the one protecting the Book of Wisdom, Osiris.

Person 3 said: You can leave, spy.

After the spy left, Person 3 continued:

The most important thing is that Lucifer is imprisoned there.

Person 1 replied: Not only him, but there's another entity imprisoned there too.

Person 2 responded: What? Impossible.

Person 3: That just gets more interesting. (He smiled.)

Person 1 replied: Yes, it's the legendary Black Dragon, Balerion. Person 1 (with a past memory): "Do you remember what the gods did after they besieged us in that war? (Flashback: The ancient conflict between the gods and angels, accompanied by dragons, against Lucifer and the rest of the mythical demons is shown.) Yes, they sealed Lucifer's power in another book, while they imprisoned him in the Book of Osiris, and locked him in the language of the gods." Person 3: "Whoever tricked that fool (referring to Leo Takahashi) read the book in ancient runes." Person 2: "I see. So the required language is ancient Greek." Person 3 (clearly): "Now the picture is clear. Lucifer may have escaped from the book. His power is truly devastating. Sooner or later, he will return to take revenge on those gods, but first, we must do our work; he no longer matters to us." Person 1: "The eight sacred keys. We have information that three of them are in the Kingdom of Union." Person 2: "How will we obtain them?" Or rather, when will we start moving?

Person 3: We'll begin searching for the remaining keys now that we know the location of the three.

Another person enters: He says, "Don't worry, guys, I've found the location of the fourth and fifth keys."

Person 2: Where?

Person 4: The fourth key is in the possession of the king of Venom, Norgard Vicker, and the fifth key is held by the mermaid princess of the Blue Crystal City, located deep in the sea northwest of the continent.

Person 3: That's good. We know the location of five keys, but they're difficult to obtain.

Person 1: Our first objective is the ancient mythical beasts. Thanks to what happened at God Mountain, the magic gates were activated, leading to the appearance of many dungeon caves. If we gather the beasts, we can then combine their power into the golden winged dragon statue, Ra.

Person 4: That will awaken him.

Person 2: That's not easy. We need the third objective, the head of Medusa, which is hidden in the continent of Minshart. If we obtain it, we will be able to revive one of the petrified sages from the legendary Golden Kingdom, for our purposes.

Person 3 (with a sly smile): "Great Atlantis!

(We see a mythical scene of the great Golden Kingdom of Atlantis.)

And with that, we will be able to decipher the ancient language and activate the seal upon it. And after obtaining the eight sacred keys, we will finally release them. Yes, our mighty gods.

Person 4: I heard that a grand competition will be held in the Kingdom of Union in a year's time. Important figures from every kingdom and empire will participate. The highlight will be battles between the students of each kingdom's academy." The second person (cunningly): "We'll exploit this to our advantage. It will make it easier for us to infiltrate all the kingdoms." The first person: "We'll use the name 'Diablus' to mislead everyone about the true nature of our organization." After setting their objectives, the leaders ordered their spies and soldiers to move towards the designated locations, awaiting the opportune moment to strike. The scene shifts back to the Great Jura Forest, where Evan was sleeping in the Dark Elf Tribe's home. His wounds had been bandaged after his fierce and potentially fatal battle against the Phoenix. When he awoke, he stepped out of the house to find the entire tribe waiting for him, led by Yui, who welcomed him joyfully. Thus begins the journey of Evan, the awaited boy of prophecy, the bearer of will, towards the future and the events that await him.
