In the time before, Elaina battles Lana. Retto caught himself in the middle surrounded by huge numbers of dark knights. Retto was already exhausted from the never-ending battle he was currently in.
After one dark knight was killed, another one spawned.
Breathing heavily, Retto clenched his sword tightly. Pulling every ounce of his strength to fight back the dark knights.
The dark knights all attack at the same time, swinging their swords down at Retto. Retto defensively blocked all the swords with his one sword. He overpowered the dark knight and leaped upward. As he fell, he rotated his body together with his sword, putting the knight's neck encircled around him all at the same time.
Retto immediately took distance and opened a potion in his pocket. Taking out the lid with his finger, he sipped it down hastily. Recovering his lost energy and healing up a few injuries.
But that wasn’t enough, because Retto’s muscles were already aching and he
The tragic foresight has come true. Elaina could not stop it from happening. Retto and Glenn will both fight for the people important to them.
Night under the full moon. Retto was holding the phoenix wing in his hand. Not wanting to let it go. His head had down a troubled expression.In contrast, Glenn was desperate. Glenn’s battle with Lana didn’t take so long. After getting an opportunity to escape, he searches for Retto’s location to revive Elaina immediately. Lana didn’t chase him and turned her attention toward the destruction of Nell's town instead.“I can’t just give this item to you.”Retto responded.Glenn put a disgusting grin on his face. He looks from Retto toward Falfa.“Is that woman worth it? Do you already have Dia at your side? Why do you want to revive her? If she died here, it's her fate to die here.”Glenn said.Images of Falfa flooded Retto’s mind. The memories of Retto giving up and the girl who said many wonderful things about him. The girl that said the words he wanted to hear at the time he
“Those burning flames… Could it be? I’m sure about it. Phoenix wing was being used.” Ruti murmured as she forced herself to stand up. She has recovered some energy to stand up and walk. Still, it was far from the energy she needed to join the battle. It made her feel frustrated. Thinking about what kind of hero she is. The forest where she was not far from Nell town. In her sight, she could see the sky eventually turning red. Screams of people dying and monsters. “I’m the hero… I have to save humanity from danger… I’m the one chosen to do it.” She said and made a step. She felt unbearable pain in her chest. Bending down to the ground. She could not take the stress she was having. It flipped her stomach, resulting in her vomiting. In addition, her two reliable friends were killed in front of her eyes. “I can’t do anything… I can’t do anything…” She cries. she grasped the soil. “Pathetic seeing you in that kind of state.
Spirit possession - The user lets a spirit be fused into their magical flow. The ritual enables the user to contain and control the power of the spirit, dramatically increasing their magic power. Spirit possession grants the user spirit armor that has the same ability as the spirit who possessed Sometimes. ( Sometimes the user is granted a weapon instead of armor.)In order to use this ritual. The user needs to form a contract for something that has spirits, monsters, spirits, demons, guardians, angels, etc. ( Spirit and Spirit monsters like Falfa are different.)“She is truly talented.”Garnet muttered while gazing at Ruti in spirit-possessed form.“What exactly was that?” Falfa asked.“Its spirit-possession ritual. In ancient times, when monsters and humans lived in harmony. Humans often made contracts with monsters to get access to magical power. During that era, monsters were respected by humans.”&ldq
Four days later.It was an unexpectedly peaceful morning. The birds come flying freely again in the sky singing their favorite melody. The great forest returned to normal. The disaster and the destruction made by the extraterrestrial was left seen widely in many people’s eyes. The countless deaths and sacrifices. People who lived and people who suffered. The pain remained in their hearts.Retto woke up in bed. He gets up and tries to move. His body still suffers injuries. Especially his belly, which has a wound that won’t close.He sat down on the bed.“The night is over.”Images flashed on Retto’s head. He gritted his teeth and punchedthe wooden wall in anger. He could not save his close friends Glenn and Elaina. The two people that give him a path when he loses his way.It was not like he regretted his decision to revive Falfa instead of Elaina. In his situation before, he doesn’t have time to thin
The negotiation between Retto and the Dragon King ended very fast. In exchange for what Retto knows about the future. The future of the supreme dragon specifically. The dragon king let him borrow the three dragons they needed to fly to Eden City. “King, is this good enough? Should we decipher more information from him? Letting him go immediately is just…” Another dragon questioned the dragon king. “It’s fine… The information he muttered was enough to make me believe. My lie-detecting sense wasn’t working on him and his words were real." The dragon king transformed into his human form. A masculine man, body flesh engraved with dark patterns resembling magical runes. Darkened skin tones and long red hair touching the ground. “... I’m going to protect our nation at all costs. As the king of the dragons.” Retto, Falfa, and Lord garnet go back to the great forest riding on the back of the dragon. Landing the dragons pulled hu
Glancing at her teacup with a hint of regret. Dia started to understand why Retto visited her last time. She is consumed so much by the work she doesn’t try to even try to listen. Meeting Alina, she finds out that the neighboring country wasn’t just the enemy. One of their most powerful enemies is about to arrive directly at Eden City. One considered as the demon lord of the galaxy, Astraeus will destroy Eden city, seeking the power that could destroy the gods, Vector.“Retto did all of that?”“He has no choice. If he didn’t have a negotiation with me, this place would be ruined if worse… We made equivalent exchanges. After this battle, I’ll take the power Retto’s going to get after capturing the 2nddungeon.”“Do you know what kind of power he's going to get?”Dia asked.“More or less… But it is not important right now. Breaking our contract with each other
The next day. Alina gathered the remaining heavenly knights together with people who held authority in Eden city in her office to discuss the events happening. As a guess, Alina and her maid also participated in the meeting to answer questions. Seating on the sofa, coaching was the time manipulating relic user Chrome. Seating right beside her offering water was Hikari. Chrome is always sick and she stays in Velrum’s care searching for a way for her to recover. Because of that, Hikari and Chrome become close to each other. The Heavenly knight Elesis was standing right next to Alina, her cousin. Heavenly knight Noella behaved herself by drinking coffee. Other heavenly knights: Luke, Uzur, Galahad, Reeze, Winda, Karsem, Gottoms, Unika, and Roze. All the people present were already told about the arrival of an extraterrestrial. They are astonished by the news. It was understandable for them to feel down knowing that they were still busy protecting their c
A long time ago, hundreds of heavenly knights were summoned from heaven. Knights were created to protect the people in the dungeon from extraterrestrials. The dungeon goddess was their master, Fina. Using the borrowed holy magic. She created her own set of relics.Relics were used to defeat extraterrestrials and maintain the balance in the dungeon.Because of the heavenly knights. Creating civilization inside the terrifying dungeon of Zero became possible.The knights are proud of their work and don’t question a single thing about their existence. But there are cases where, heaven, a knight suffers an intense headache. Flashes of memories they didn’t understand come flowing into their minds. They start opposing the goddess and take action without orders.Defects like those are immediately labeled as defects. Heavenly knights are the perfect knights. Pseudo is immortal and stronger than a normal person. Imperfection is not an option for them. W
