But one thing was certain. The magic possessed by the mysterious figure far surpassed all the mages on the West Coast. At least, they considered the mysterious man to be a Great Mage.

"Where did he go?" asked an admiral on the Great Wall.

He was watching every point down there with a telescope.

"Looks like he doesn't want to be recognized," replied a female mage to the admiral's right. "Oh, God... imagine if such a powerful mage were our friend!"

"Yeah," the admiral replied. "That's exactly what I was thinking. Goddamn it!"

The admiral gave up trying to find the mysterious mage with his telescope.

"No matter what," he continued, "we need to find out who he is. Then bring him to the Central Empire!"

"I think that's a great wish that might be difficult to fulfill."

"Nothing is impossible!" the admiral glared at the mage. "While we have the chance, we can do it!"

The mage took a deep breath, then cast her gaze down to where the surviving warriors and soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield that now looked and sounded quiet.

"I will report this to the nobles and royalty," the admiral said as he left the mage. "You stay here with the others until it's completely safe!"

"Yeah, of course!" the mage said without turning around.

"Hey, let's get up!" a soldier helped an injured mage.

It was the same mage who was previously helped by the mysterious man with the wide hood.

"Hey, soldier," said the mage as he stepped on the soldier's shoulders. "Did any of us see where the mysterious mage went?"

"I don't think so," replied the soldier. "He just disappeared into the smoke and dust."

"I see, huh?" the mage let out a long sigh.

"I've never seen anything like that before."

The mage glanced at the warrior. "Yeah, for sure," he replied. "Unless you've served in the Svarnabhumi Empire."

"I know," the warrior smiled blandly. "But still, that was amazing, and terrifying at the same time. Hey, maybe we could meet him again?"

The mage shrugged. "Who knows?"

A Royal Warrior strode hurriedly down a hallway crowded with the activities of warriors and other soldiers, in the central region of the West Coast.

He arrived at the door of a room and knocked on the door.

"Young Master," he called out, "are you done in there?"

Meanwhile, inside the room, an 18-year-old girl was being banged by a man. Although the girl seemed to be resisting and struggling, the man became even more lustful towards her.

In the room there were also four other men in the same condition, naked. It was like they were waiting for their turn to enjoy the girl.

The girl screamed and even hit the man who was banging her violently. But, it was as if her punches and screams didn't ease her condition under the man's thrall.

The knock on the door sounded again.

"Hey, man," one of the four men said to the man on the girl. "Looks like that soldier really needs you!"

"Yeah!" the man on the bed turned around, and it was Ryvel.

He had just spurted his liquid inside the girl and was smiling widely with satisfaction despite his labored breathing.

Meanwhile, the girl herself could only cry at what Ryvel had done to her, covering her face with her two palms.

Ryvel got off the bed and put his clothes back on.

The door was knocked on by someone from outside, again.

"For God's sake," Ryvel exclaimed in annoyance. "Could you be patient for a moment, huh?"

"I'm sorry, Young Master," replied the soldier behind the door.

"You stupid soldier!" Ryvel stepped up to the door and then opened it. "What's the matter, huh? You know that you've been interrupting me having fun with that new girl, don't you?"

"I am sorry, Young Master," the soldier bowed slightly to Ryvel. "But, Lord Blackwood requests that you come to the ship, immediately!"

Ryvel took a deeper breath, thinking of a thing or two. He turned to his four comrades in the back.

"Hey," he said, "make sure all the holes in the girl's body are filled with your shits! Got it?"

The four men shared a chuckle.

"You don't need to teach us, Ryvel!" replied one and walked over to the girl lying on the bed. "Come on, Alicia, you'll serve me next!"

"No, please!" screamed the girl who was none other than Mathias' younger sister. "Don't hurt me anymore, please. Let me go!"

"Come on Alie, it's an honor for you," chuckled the man. "Serving the lust of us warriors. That way, you will live longer!"

"No, please," Alicia screamed in tears. "Get away from me!"

Ryvel closed the door with a smirk of satisfaction, leaving the room accompanied by a soldier.

Inside a large ship that was resting in the harbor among other ships.

The Young Master of the Blackwood family entered the center deck which was the largest room of the three-masted ship.

Inside the large room were several royal officials, nobles, and young women serving food and drinks to the important people in their skimpy outfits.

Ryvel approached his father who was explaining something to the others.

"We'll be leaving soon―"

"Father, do you need me?"

"One moment, gentlemen..." Edwar Blackwood, 50 years old, glanced to the back right where his son stood nearby. "Find your seat, son. We'll talk more later."

Without being ordered a second time, Ryvel had already found a seat for himself.

"Hey," he greeted a girl who was none other than Cindy.

"Come, Ryvel," Cindy said with a sweet smile. "Have a seat here."

"Evening, Lord Zircon," Ryvel greeted the middle-aged man to Cindy's right.

"Ryvel," replied the man, who was Cindy's father. "You almost missed this meeting. Your father would have been upset with you."

"Yeah..." Ryvel smiled widely and then sat flanking Cindy in the middle. "Oh, I hate this," he muttered.

Cindy giggled softly as she patted Ryvel's thigh. "Idiot!"

    "Only this area of the West Coast remains in the Land of Purbha," Edwar said. "The orders from the Svarnabhumi Empire are clear, all the nobles must be in the Central Continent to better strategize and plan the resistance. Admiral, what about the soldiers and warriors?"Another middle-aged man stood up."Lord Blackwood," he said and then addressed the others, "Gentlemen... the remaining soldiers and warriors, they will remain here until the reinforcements from Svarnabhumi and Dakhsina arrive.""I think it might be better to just let the Land of Purbha be occupied by them," said one of the officers on the left. "We can take the soldiers and warriors with us!""No, that won't happen!" argued another."He's right!" said the one in the center. "Letting the Demon Army take over the entire Land of Purbha is tantamount to driving humanity to extinction!""Don't you realize, huh?" said the man on the left.

    The hooded man growled softly pressing his head even harder. He became annoyed and removed the wide hood on his head, throwing the thick and coarse cloth onto the bed.For a moment he just sat there, wringing his hair before standing up and approaching the window.He looked at the sea with its not-so-big waves, lapping and breaking on the shore.The moonlight right at its highest point provided a little better illumination.And the mysterious man was none other than Mathias.He looked up at the night sky which looked quite beautiful this time, then down at the sea which reflected the moonlight, glittering like a pile of diamonds here and there."Where are you now, Alie?" he murmured almost inaudibly.He looked back at his right hand, turning it over and over in such a way.Just as he was about to return his gaze to the sea at the far end, Mathias heard a woman's scream from the right.He frowned and found a bit of commotion in his line of sight."Do people like this deserve to be save

    Once he moved his right hand back, the bluish light hit the warrior instantly, sending him far back.People gulped as they watched how the warrior whose back had hit the wall hard was slowly burning. It started with his chest turning red, then peeled off like burnt paper, and spread to the rest of his body.He screamed in extreme pain. An instant later, his body disappeared along with the debris that flew in the wind.People looked back at Mathias with eyes filled with great question marks and shock. But even greater than that was the fear of him."Surround him!" shouted a soldier commander.More than a dozen warriors instantly moved and locked Mathias in the center with the girl, the Knight, and three other shirtless warriors."You have killed a warrior, Stranger!" the commander shouted. "And that was a big mistake!"The three shirtless men looked at each other with pale faces and feared for their own lives now.Two of them were mages, but neither possessed the magic they had just se

    "No, wait, please! Spare my life, please―"Stab!The thirty-year-old man died with five holes in the face. His body still twitched for a few seconds before settling down.Mathias grinned at the bloodied fingers of his right hand. He stood up and glanced towards the back left."Wh-Who are you? Why are you killing them?" said another person in the corner of the room, a very messy room."You're the one named Aoris?"The man in the corner gulped, face pale, eyes wide as he looked at the heavily hooded man approaching him."I-I..." In the end, he nodded albeit stammeringly."Then you must die as well!""Why?" cried Aoris. Cold sweat dripped down his temples. "What wrong have we done?""You know better than I do!" Mathias stopped a step in front of Aoris."B-But, but we're Purbha's soldiers! We're fighting against the Demon Army!"Mathias grinned faintly. Slowly, he removed the hood that covered his head and part of his face.Aoris grew choked up as he looked at the face that was now clearl

    The two had just finished lunch when a soldier came to meet them."What do you want, soldier?" asked Ryvel as he leaned against the back of a chair."Young Master," the soldier bowed. "Lord Blackwood requests your presence on the center deck. Everyone has gathered there."Cindy stood up and headed for the wardrobe."Don't worry, soldier," she said as she selected her clothes. "We'll be right there.""Very well, Miss Zircon."Ryvel waved her hand, and the warrior nodded and left the luxurious room."Could there be something important that he wants from me?"Ryvel walked up to Cindy and then hugged her intimately from behind.Cindy giggled softly in amusement."He's your father, Ryvel. Not mine. Try to understand his nature and character better.""Yeah, right..." Ryvel kissed the nape of the girl's neck while his two hands wrapped around her slender waist. "How about you become my teacher, hmm?""Oh, stop it for a second, would you?"Cindy giggled again and turned around with a dress in

    "No one knows!"Ryvel frowned. "Why? Shouldn't everyone in this world know who the Emperor really is?""Be careful with your curiosity, son!"The father's piercing gaze silenced the son.Without even being told, Ryvel realized that this was a very sensitive issue.And that meant he was forbidden to bring it up anywhere, especially on Svarnabhumi grounds.Someone shouted outside, followed by shouts from others as well.Edwar Blackwood realized that their ship would soon be docking at the Eastern Main Harbor."Mark my words, son," he told Ryvel. "This is for our future."The son took a deep breath and left his father's room.The sun had shifted from its zenith to the west, in its last third, when six large ships tried to dock in one large harbor. One of them was the largest."Father..." Cindy Zircon leaned closer to her father. "This large harbor is not what I imagined."Demian Zircon smiled as he kept his pace down the ship."What did you expect, sweetheart?" her father replied. "All d

    Mathias awoke to a muffled crash from below. Something seemed to have deliberately struck the hull.Probably a chunk of ice, he thought.Since yesterday, it has been much colder out at sea. After all, according to the other passengers, they were expected to arrive in the freezing South today.He got up half lazily. From the sunlight coming into his small cabin, he thought it was early morning.Thud!His eyes widened and his demeanor became more alert.The impact felt much stronger this time which made the ship sway slightly, this also made the passengers who had already woken up screech.No, he thought, this ship didn't hit an iceberg!Mathias grabbed his jacket and thick cloak, which he used as a hood to cover his head and part of his face.Thump!"Goddamn it!" he muttered as he quickly made his way to the deck. "Didn't they say Dakhsina was still safe from intrusion?"At the same time, the screams of the dozen or so passengers aboard the ship sounded even more hysterical.The men ha

  • I No Clown   Land of Dakhsina

    The men had to hold on to something a second time because Mathias's violent lightning strikes also shook the ship.Hysterical screams could be heard from the cabins as the ship shook crazily.Mathias' lightning magic hit the white creature beneath the water's surface with a thud.As if it had been shocked by thousands of volts of electricity, the creature shook violently beneath the surface of the water making the surface turbulent, and at the same time, making the ship shake more wildly.Mathias pressed his legs together with another magical exertion to keep the ship from capsizing."Hold on to something!" shouted the ship owner. "You don't want to be thrown overboard!"The white-furred creature continued to flounder until half of its body rose above the water's surface.The men were stunned as if rooted in their respective positions. The creature looked like a giant walrus.However, its roar did not sound like the roar of a walrus. After all, since when did walruses have wide spines

    Mathias was silent in his steps.However, he was aware of the change within him. Not in the immense magical power he had gained, nor in the fact that his right hand, which had once been stumped, was now whole again.But, it was his attitude and his passionate desire to find everyone involved in his sister's suffering and death. And avenge his sister's death in the most sadistic way he could think of.Mathias?"I don't know..."Then he saw the light ahead and the breeze that seemed to greet him.He smiled and stepped faster."This is..."There were no words for Mathias when he arrived at the end of the path directly connected to a giant space.The underground room was huge with giant pillars supporting the roof.He was even more astonished when he looked down."Is it all gold?"He didn't need to wait for an answer from anyone. He didn't need to ask because what he saw wasn't a hallucination.Oh, be careful, young man!“I know...”Mathias gulped as he watched the heaping piles of gold i

    The Giant Cave

    What looks close turns out to require more energy and effort to reach. Plus, with a hungry stomach.Mathias could only refrain from swearing and continued eastward.It wasn't until the sun was on its highest throne, that the man arrived in front of a large cave mouth."I found you at last!" he smiled with satisfaction even though he felt his legs were sore.From his position, the cave looked quite bright, and he could even feel the breeze blowing from inside to outside.There was probably another cave mouth somewhere, he thought.However, the moment Mathias had just stepped into the cave, he could immediately feel a very strong pressure."Wh-What kind of aura is this?" he gulped with a frown.I told you, didn't I?"Oh, damn old man," Mathias snorted warily. Step by step he forced his way into the great cave. "You just said 'if', nothing more!"At least, I warned you."This feels very oppressive," he said, occasionally looking to the right and left. "It's only natural that no living cr

    The Anomaly

    Previously, he had heard that only two medium-sized islands not covered by snow in the entire Dakhsina region, Maca Island and Padang. Also, the supreme leader of the Larants did not specifically mention the condition of Sangga Langit Island to him.So..."There must be something causing the island to be snowless!"Are you scared?"Tck!" he snorted, the mysterious voice returning inside his head. "Why would I?"There could be a horrible creature there that you've never seen, never heard of."What a typical old man!" Mathias smirked. "You're so fond of saying things that aren't real, scaring your children with nonsensical tales!"I was trying to warn you, young man."Even if it were true," he said. "That won't stop me, Master Elosha. No matter what happens, I must avenge Alicia's death. After that, if the heavens desire my death, then I will gladly face it!"You know... you're already one step closer to the hell called despair."Oh, whatever you say!" Mathias let out a deep breath.

    Being a demon or an angel, it's entirely your choice!"Tck!"Mathias jumped down from the alpha's body. He glanced around, there seemed to be no more threats on this island, he thought."You don't need to teach me," he muttered. "My goal is only one, to finish off those who have caused my sister to suffer!"Oh, young man... Revenge will only bring you to destruction."You can't stop me!"Whoosh!Mathias again used his wind magic which took him flying towards the next island.He smiled again as he realized that his flying speed was now a little better and faster than before."Yeah, maybe you're right!"***The shallow river that cut through the lush meadow had crystal-clear water, with its slow flow and white sandy bottom promising freshness to those who soaked in it.Cindy Zircon got up and climbed onto the bank of the river.

    From the side where he landed, through the island's center, to the other side, Mathias found nothing that could be categorized as a threat.At least, he could save his strength and energy for his real purpose.Once again, he looked around before finally darting lightly and quickly to the next island.On the second island, when Mathias had just set foot, he heard the flapping wings of a large creature.He frowned as he found the source of the sound.A huge creature with a body almost as white as snow swooped towards him."Snow Claw, huh!" he muttered.Crash!Snowflakes flew as the creature the size of a full-grown tiger landed, then let out a mighty roar.Groarrr!Mathias had already leaped ahead, getting closer to the island's center.The creature was indeed similar to a male lion with its mane. Only, it had wide ears and a pair of wings like those of a bat. It was chasing the man furiously.As if he was playing with the creature, Mathias jumped from one tree to another.The creature

    “People in those days used to say,” the Dyan continued, ”that the ship would only sail if someone with great magic asked it to.”“I see, huh?”“You said you wanted to get to Svarnabhumi as soon as possible, didn't you?”“Yeah... My only goal right now is for the people who are currently there. And I'm making sure that they won't escape my grasp!”For a glimpse, the middle-aged woman could see a streak of black light covering the eyes of the man beside her.Only, she had no desire to inquire further. However, she could sense that it was an extremely frightening aura.“So,” she said after clearing her throat once. “Your only hope is that old ship, young man. Although it's an old ship and not very big, it's still decent and powerful.”Mathias let out a deeper breath with his arms folded across his chest.From the look in his eyes, as if he could already see the ship in question, he grinned faintly.“Let me guess,” he said, ”the way to the island isn't that easy, am I wrong?”“That's what

    Right then, the supreme leader of the Larants appeared in front of the cave mouth with six young women.The men bowed to her.The middle-aged woman approached Mathias and the others.“Do you like their meat?” she asked with a wide smile.Mathias smiled slightly. “I never knew.”“From what I hear,” said the Dyan, “the land of Purbha is so fertile and rich in natural resources, everything is abundant. So, it's only natural that you don't know or have never tried to taste the flesh of dragons.”“Yeah,” Mathias gave a small nod. “I suppose it is. But, that was a long time ago. Now, Purbha is just a dead land.”“You know, you have to be careful,” Rashmar continued. “Not all kinds of dragons you can eat their flesh. Most of them have deadly poison in their blood and even flesh.”“I'll keep that in mind,” Mathias sighed deeply.“Come with me!”Mathias complied with the Dyan's request. They disappeared at the mouth of the cave with the six young women.They led him to a branch of the cave tha

    The burst of acid was just a precursor to the next attack.Two equally deadly jaws opened wide, moving quickly, pouncing on Mathias from two opposite directions.But the man let gravity play a role in calculating his movements. He fell so fast that the beast's jaws only cupped empty air.As he slid vertically, Mathias cast his magic to bring forth two bluish swords of light, one in his right hand and one in his left.The Hairy Worm closest to him, the left one, let out a tremendous squeal.The sword of light that was an extension of the man's hand pierced and tore through the creature's body, from top to bottom.Swiiing!As soon as his feet hit the ground, Mathias threw himself to the right, flying as he circled the other Hairy Worm.Crash!Slam!One Hairy Worm floundered, blood from its long wound splashing in all directions. It growled and shrieked in pain, then slammed hard into the ground. It wriggled briefly and then died.The one remaining beast roared even more fiercely, furiou

    The Hairy Worm

    “We don't know what causes the earth to shake like this,” Arguan said. “However, the Dyan is right. We must show that we are worthy of acceptance in this land.”“I have no more fears,” said the man to Arguan's left.All eyes were on him.He lightly said, “After all, I don't have anyone else in this world to worry about me,” he continued with a shrug.“What a fool!” muttered the others.But Mathias understood the man. He had been and was in the same situation. To avenge Alicia's death, he wouldn't care about his own life.“There, over there!” Arguan pointed towards the mouth of the cave. “Quick, let's help them!”Upon arriving outside the cave, Mathias and the others were surprised by a pair of giant snake-like creatures with hairy bodies from head to tail.Groarrr!“What the hell is that?” Arguan widened his eyes.“White Serpent!” said another with an increasingly trembling and pale.“Hey!” a Larant shouted at Mathias' group. “Don't just stand there! Help us get rid of these hairy wor
