“Avatar.” Swooooooosh! A tremendous amount of mana leaked out of Aita’s body. The sky turned dark green and dark green runes appeared on Aita’s face and arms. He knew that if he continued to fight like that, he would die, so he had no choice but to use the ‘Avatar’. With only a few exchanges, he understood that Kailes was stronger than him. That’s why he needed to go all out from the start. “Oh~” Kailes smiled broadly seeing that. But it didn’t diminish his arrogant expression at all. “The weakling has something at least.” Swooosh! Kailes said and took out a dark red spear. “Burn!” Crackle! An ominous dark red fire enveloped his spear. “Come weakling!” “Niu Heimar, Atgeir!” Whoooosh! Aita said, and a lance made of wind flew at Kailes. Kailes snorted and waved his burning spear. BOOOOM! Both attacks canceled each other. “!” Kailes’ eyes opened wide as he saw Aita right before him. He grabbed Kailes by his neck and struck his stomach with his knee. BAM! “AH!” K
Kailes felt something snap inside him as he saw Aita beckoning to him. “Spear of hell….” BOOOOM! Fire exploded around his spear. He raised his spear and took a throwing stance. “Disappear, weakling of Lunarstella.” Whoooooosh! The spear headed towards Aita at tremendous speed. The ground below became scorched along the way. Aita grabbed his sword hard. He knew that he couldn’t completely cancel the attack. Kailes was in his ‘Avatar Form’. He was much stronger than before. Aita looked at the sky. Time seemed to slow down for him. ‘What am I doing…?’ He asked himself as he faced an attack that could easily kill him. He joined the battlefield to kill Kailes Ankouna so he could stop that annoying war. Then he could obtain what he wanted from Linus Lunarstella. He wanted to know what was behind that space rift. But now, he felt tired. Tired of all his fights. He fought for a few days. Hvitserk, Lotfi, the Emperor of Nychterin, and now Kailes Ankouna. Maybe it was bec
‘Spirit Avatar’ It was another powerful ability with the ‘Avatar Form’. But only a few could use it. Mastering the ‘Avatar Form’ didn’t guarantee that you could master the ‘Spirit Avatar’. Vice versa. They were two different things. They both had their inconveniences and advantages. Selena, as a genius, could use both of them but chose to use the ‘Spirit Avatar’ since it was dangerous to fight head-on Kailes Ankouna. Aita did it because he was an expert in that domain and it was still a wonder to her how he could still injure Kailes while being weaker than him. Anyway, in a long-range attack, Selena had a great advantage and she was strong in that domain as well. That’s why she chose the ‘Spirit Avatar’ instead of her ‘Avatar Form’. “What the hell are you doing here ?!” Aita shouted angrily at Selena. Selena turned around. Her face was cold but still really beautiful. Her silver hair was crystallized in some parts, making it shine in the night sky. Selena’s sky-blue eye
“You will die here, Lunar Princess.” Kailes said with a smirk. He felt very lucky as the untouchable princess was right in front of him. And the new Lord Commander of Lunarstella was placed on a silver plate so he could kill him. ‘You will see Rhaines.’ He really wanted to see the face of his elder brother, Rhaines, upon learning what he accomplished today. “Hm ?” He looked at Selena and frowned. Selena was looking to her left with a pale face. She was closing her mouth as if horrified by something. He followed her gaze and found Aita, standing. “!” Aita was staring back at him coldly. His whole face was bloodied. And blood was flowing out of his mouth and eyes… Thud_ ‘What…’ Kailes stepped back unconsciously. Aita reached out his hand and touched the crystal deer on his right. A dark green light covered the deer and the deer regenerated. The previous crack closed and his whole body shone in dark green. Eeeeeeee! “!” Stomping the ground, it rushed towards Kailes.
“What is happening…?” A beautiful girl’s voice rang out. “P-Princess Rhainia ?” A knight of Lunarstella shouted in surprise. ‘Princess Rhainia…?’ Aita stared at Rhainia who was looking at Kailes. ‘What? Is she his sister ?’ Aita thought and looked at Kailes who had a pale white face. “Wh-What are you doing here ?!” Kailes on the ground shouted. ‘Oh~’ Aita thought inwardly. ‘Is he worried about his sister ?’ Aita couldn’t have been happier with that unexpected situation. Moreover, he didn’t know why, but Rhainia was right behind him, near Selena. ‘Perfect. I will take her as a hostage’ Little did Aita know that the girl he wanted to take hostage was far stronger than Kailes. But because of his state, he wasn’t able to notice that. That and Rhainia’s calm presence misled him. ‘I don’t have a lot of mana. But it will be enough for that.’ He closed his eyes and concentrated. It was the perfect moment as Rhainia was busy talking with Kailes. Swoooosh! He vanished and
Rhainia Ankouna was the second child of the Emperor of the Ankouna Empire. There were only a few months of difference between her and Rhaines Ankouna, her elder brother, but she was as strong as him. She and Rhaines inherited heavily the blood of their father, who also inherited the blood of their God Rhamdes. Thus, both of them were special throughout the whole Ankouna Empire. They could do anything they wanted and they wouldn’t be punished. Rhainia was born into a family where strength prevailed. You had the blood of God Rhamdes then you had to be strong. From a child, she was trained by her father to become a weapon of mass destruction. Her father wanted to have Rhainia as a trump card that could reverse any situation. But for that, he needed to have Rhania understand that. That she was born to kill and destroy. With the help of his wife, who was none other than Rhainia’s mother, he cursed Rhainia. To live, she needed to kill and get blood. She could try to resist the i
“Ah…ah…ah…ah" Jordan breathed heavily. He wanted to throw up because of exhaustion but couldn't Looking up, he saw a battle happening. All his classmates were fighting against Trevor Ankouna. But Trevor Ankouna had the upper hand on all of them despite being alone. The day before, they lost another of their classmates after Orion, Mathias. It cast a gloom on them again. They were again helpless like it had been for Orion. But something else lifted up their spirits. It was Sienna awakening her Spirit Avatar. It was an extremely rare and complicated ability to understand and control but Sienna did. This was surprising as she didn't yet grasp how to use her 'Avatar Form', but it wasn’t impossible. What Sienna accomplished the day before shook everyone. They all had different feelings about it. Andrew showed jealousy. Austin, Jordan, Vincent, Anna, and Aura showed frustration. They were angry at themselves for not being able to awaken at the same time. And Elena was happier
“Azure Flaming Cannon!” BOOOOOM! Both attacks collided and shockwaves kept sweeping around. Trevor’s ball of fire was slowly taking advantage of Austin’s blue fire. “AH!” Austin shouted and put in all his remaining mana. BOOOOOOM! “AHAHAAHAH! Trash! You will never kill a prince of Ankouna!!” Trevor laughed madly. “Austin!” Elena rushed behind Austin and put her hand on his shoulder. Swooooosh! She quickly transmitted her mana to him. “E-Elena…thanks…” Austin smiled gratefully. “Concentrate, Austin.” Aura also joined and gave her mana. Austin nodded at her and took advantage thanks to his new refilled mana. The others could only watch as they didn’t have mana anymore. Well, Andrew and Jordan did have but chose to help Austin as they were proud. As for Anna, she was the one who had the less mana as she overused her telekinesis ability to save her classmates from death. And Ryan, who hadn’t taken this fight seriously since the beginning, was just watching the ongoing
The Nychterin Empire, once overshadowed by hardship, had transformed into a beacon of power and resilience on the Dreamland continent. This remarkable evolution was a stark contrast to its past, a past marred by the scars of a war that had ravaged the nation hundreds of years earlier. During those tumultuous times, the Nychterin Empire had borne the brunt of the conflict, losing countless knights to the enemy's clutches.The aftermath was even grimmer, marked by a scarcity of labor and, more poignantly, a pervasive sense of desolation that had settled over the populace. Widows mourned, children became orphans, and the Empire seemed to teeter on the precipice of despair. Yet, amid this darkness, a glimmer of hope emerged.The Solaria Empire, a benevolent force, extended a compassionate hand to their beleaguered neighbors. Without seeking recompense, they aided in the Empire's reconstruction and dispatched healers to tend to the wounded souls. Although the specter of gloom lingered, the
“You-You want to take part in the tournament?”Selena stammered, speechless at Aita’s demand.“Yeah.”Aita nodded casually.“Why, suddenly? You told me yesterday you were not interested?”Selena tried her best to keep her calm.“I want the reward.”“!”Shock filled Selena’s face. Did he want the reward? So Princess Evelyn? She couldn’t believe it.“Wh-Why? You already have me…”Selena started to doubt her own worth now. She didn’t want to brag about it, but she considered herself not less beautiful than Evelyn Nychterin. Or maybe Aita liked the innocent-type more?“What?”Aita, as dense as ever, wondered what the hell she was speaking about. He only wanted the second reward, the other part of his spear after all.“Can I use you in need every day? Would you be with me any time?”Aita said in a mocking tone. She wasn’t a weapon after all.“Idiot!”-Thud!Selena threw the cup of coffee in Aita’s face and ran away with a tomato-red face.***“Princess.”“...”“Princess?”“Ah!”Selena brok
“Ahhhh…He’s taking his time.” Daisy yawned as she rubbed her sleepy eyes. More than an hour had passed and Aita still hadn’t come out. She was on the verge of sleeping on the floor but held back. She could wait for Aita. Aita had still saved her best friend and her. “What the hell is he doing?!” Anna, still hidden in the corner, was reaching the limits of her patience. “Anna, seriously, we should go…I really want to sleep…” Isabel leaned on the wall and was on the verge of falling asleep like that. “No! Wait a little mor-” “Daisy?” “““!””” “Le-Lena?” Daisy was surprised to see Elena here. She was sure Elena would play or speak with Aura for a few more hours at least… “What are you doing outside and you will catch a cold like that.” Elena sighed, seeing Daisy standing there in a negligee. Elena was also wearing a blue negligee but she was wearing a jacket on it. “A-Ah, well…” Daisy scratched her head, not knowing what to do. Aita was still inside the room after all. Still,
Late at night, Aita left his room. He wandered in the corridor of the palace aimlessly. The guards roaming around would bow to him upon seeing him, otherwise they would let him. They probably thought he wanted to take a breath of fresh air.After an hour or so, he started to walk toward the section reserved for the girls in his class. Like Daisy had promised, she would leave him in their room. Waiting for the right time, he went to the ladies' side. He made sure to erase any sound of his steps with his wind. He didn’t want to cause another uproar and be labeled with another cringe nickname. He already wanted to erase his memories just thinking about what he was doing. Infiltrating the ladies’ dormitory at night? Anyone would label him as human trash.Reaching the room of Daisy and Elena, Aita knocked on the door. He was having a hard time keeping his face from distorting. All his actions seemed like he was going to sleep with a woman late at night…“Look, Isabel, I knew it!”At the en
“You had a tough day, Aita.”Selena said with a glare.They went back to the palace and the first person who welcomed Aita was Selena. She had an exhausted complexion but she still looked like a perfect princess. Her sapphire eyes were staring angrily at Aita and mostly the knights of Lunarstella. She told them to look after Aita so he wouldn’t do anything, threatening their truce, but they couldn’t do anything. They all averted their faces in shame. They couldn’t tell that Aita at that time was too scary to speak to. More than that, they were also angry at Rex and the others for what they had done.“...”Aita stared at Selena. Her face overlapped with the mature Selena of the recording. Her tears, her sad expression, her helplessness, everything overlapped with the current Selena. He couldn’t understand why that woman he didn’t know at all was making his emotions stir that much. He cared for Selena Luna Lunarstella, but not her great-great-aunt.“Aita?”Selena called out to Aita sinc
“What happened…”Aura asked. Behind her were all her classmates, the knights of Solaria and Lunarstella. They were silently waiting for two people to answer. The two people were, of course, Aita and Elena who, after two days, finally reached the entrance of the rift. Austin, Jake, Jaxon and Daisy had already arrived as well the day before, so everyone was there. Well, everyone except Gaut and Rex, who were killed by Aita. By the way, Bein was sitting with a blank expression in a corner ignoring them. Anyway, most of the stares were gathered on two people. Aita and Elena. Aita had his black mask off but he still had his skin mask, which didn’t please him in the slightest as he felt uncomfortable with it, so his current annoyed expression. Right behind, strangely close to him, was Elena, who seemed to be happy to finally reunite with her classmates.“Nothing.”Aita replied clearly, showing that he was annoyed at her question, and walked ahead. “Hmpf!”Aura harrumphed and went to Elena
“...”“...”Silence reigned in the empty hall. The runes weren’t glowing anymore. Aita and Elena were not speaking. Elena had a pained expression, a little more and she’d have cried. Remembering Selena’s face and her words, she felt despondent for her. She glanced at Aita. He was playing with a little stone. It was the White Crystal that was inside the coffin with the book. The book disappeared as soon as the recording was over. As for the skeleton, Aita had put Selena’s remains inside his space ring. Elena looked at the stone with a complicated expression. She needed four of them to go back on Earth. No. She needed five of them. Four to destroy the space rift, once on the other side, she needed another one to finally reach Earth. In any case, the one in Aita’s hand didn’t belong to her, in the first place, so right now she had nothing.-Gurgleeeee“...”“...”Elena buried her face in her knees, not daring to look at Aita’s current expression. She depleted her mana, so she was exhau
“I am going with the name of Selena Mona Lunarstella. The First Princess of the Great Lunarstella Empire.” Her domineering voice echoed. Looking at her, Aita started to understand why she was hailed as a heroine back then and even now. He could understand how she alone was able to defend Lunarstella from enemies everywhere. She really had the aura of a leader. “I do not know who you are, but I know that you are here with the help of my blood. How many years had gone since the war ? I just hold the hope that my Empire is still there flourishing like it should…” She said in a nostalgic tone. “You, who discovered my tomb. I am going to reveal what I discovered in the hope that you are my blood, or at least someone of my Empire. I gave my spear to my brother so he could give it to his children. I engraved runes on my spear that will serve as key to entering this place when the time will come. I transmitted this emplacement to my brother before leaving the Empire forever.” Selena spoke
“I did nothing! B-Believe me, please!”Elena’s quivering voice kept ringing in the hall. She was speaking to Aita, who was standing, looking at his surroundings. He didn’t seem to care about Elena’s words. Stretching his limbs for a minute, he removed his shirt.“Ah! W-What are you doing, Lord Aita?!”Elena turned her head away with a flushed face.Aita ignored her and took out a new white shirt and put in on while making sure to hide his pendant so Elena wouldn’t see it. He glanced at the ground and saw the silver spear. Stooping down, he took the spear. As usual, it looked like a newly crafted spear as its silver color shone with purity. Swinging the spear a few times, he turned around. Elena was looking at him nervously.“How long have I been out?”He asked. Vivid memories of Artemis were still present in his mind. Memories he shouldn’t have as he wasn’t even born at that moment. Why had he the memories of other people? Anyway, it felt like years had passed, so he wanted to know.
