"Soren!""Eh ?"A ten-year-old child turned around and saw a lance approaching at great speed toward him.Whooosh!But before that, a shadow came in front of him.Spurt!Blood splattered on Soren's face.Looking up, he saw a familiar pair of dark green eyes and froze."M-Mom..?""Cough! A-Are you okay Soren ?""M-Mom!"Soren moved from his frozen state and hugged his mother.A spear was pierced on her back."Mom! We have to heal y-!"Bam!"Kah!"A fist collided with his stomach and Soren rolled on the ground."Soren!"Vanadis crawled on the ground toward her son."You are pathetic, Vanadis."A cold voice rang out from behind.Thud_A burly and tall man came out.He seemed no more than eighteen.Shoulder length golden-blond hair tied on his back, beard and several tattoos on his face reaching his neck.His cold red eyes looked with disappointment at Vanadis hugging Soren."I-I will kill you Bjorn...""Hm ?"Hearing the low voice, Bjorn turned his gaze to Soren, who was hugged by Vanadi
Selena didn't think twice before rushing toward her brother.She immediately hugged him protectively."Si-Sister..."Narvi's body shivered in her embrace."Don't worry Narvi, I'm here."Selena said and created a huge cocoon of crystal around them.But she was sure that it wouldn't be enough.She was out of mana and tired mentally.Moreover, her opponent was far stronger than her."Die!"The leader's voice rang out from the outside.Selena closed her eyes and hugged Narvi tightly.Crack!Boom!As expected, the crystal cocoon didn't last long.'Father! mother!'Spurt!Warm liquid spattered on her face.She knew it was blood but was surprised as she didn't feel any pain.Opening her eyes slowly, she saw the back of Aita.A pointed tip was coming out of the left side of his stomach.Drip_ Drip_ Drip_Blood was still falling on Selena's face."W-Why?"Selena was shocked.She thought that Aita would never put his life below others.There was a deal of protecting them but was it just that ?
One month later…[Solaria Palace, Training Ground]"Ice Arrows!""Fire Wall."Booom!Arrows of ice flew fast toward Sienna, who summoned a wall of fire.The arrows melted upon contact with the fire wall."Wow! As expected of you, Sienna!"Aura exclaimed loudly.Then she pulled the string of her bow again.Her mana slowly enveloped her bow before creating an ornamented arrow made of ice."Take this! Ice Arrow Cannon!"Whooosh!The arrow, which was bigger than the previous, froze the ground as it rushed toward Sienna.Sienna, still with an impassive face, channeled her mana."Fire Cannon."A huge torrent of fire came out of her right palm and collided with the arrows.Booom!Crack!The arrow cracked but still continued.Aura smiled but, unfortunately, it didn't last long."Earth wall."Bam!An earth wall came out in front of her and stopped the arrow."You have two attributes, it's unfair!""You shouldn't say that when you have a rare ice magic Aura."Sienna replied with a shrug.Aura w
Boooom!"What again?"Riona let out, annoyed.She had just witnessed an explosion and already another rang out."I-It's Andrew and Austin!"A student answered with a pale face."Sigh..."Riona walked toward the two morons who didn't understand that it was a friendly match.***Clang! Clang!Boom! Boom!Hundreds of meters away from Aura and the others, a fierce fight was happening."Light Cannon!"Swooosh!A torrent of golden light shot out of Andrew's sword toward Austin."That's bad!"Austin jumped back and covered his sword in blue fire.Crackle_!Swish!With a swing, a huge wall of blue fire appeared in front of him.The golden light and blue fire collided.Boooom!A bluish explosion appeared in the sky as a shockwave rippled into the surrounding area."T-They are monsters!""As expected of Austin and Andrew!""Kyaa! They are so cool!"The spectators, mostly their classmates, were dumbfounded by Austin and Andrew's power.It had been nearly five months since they were summoned, so
"Austin and Andrew should be more careful in friendly matches."""Y-Yes!""Both nodded awkwardly though Andrew blushed as he saw Liana's perfect face that close.Clap! Clap! Clap!"Your attention!"Riona's voice echoed a few meters away from them.They all surrounded her and waited.Once they were all present, she spoke."There are three basic and powerful attacks in attributes. What are they ?""I know Miss Riona!"Aura raised her hands, trying to redeem herself."Aura.""Yes! It's the Wall, the Cannon and the Lances""Yes, exactly. Though they are basics that anyone could do, they are still powerful and trustworthy. So rely on these attacks when you are in a dangerous situation."""""Yes!"""They all nodded at her words."Of course, there are other basics, but these three ones are the most important."Saying that, she took a deep breath."Concerning 'your' personal strength, what I mean by that is the attacks you created yourself. They are all mostly strong, I admit it, but they are
"Ah Your Majesty! I forgot to tell you. A new Lord Commander was appointed in Lunarstella."The man said, remembering suddenly."Hm ? That's nothing important ? It was surely the Vice Commander who took that place."Helio said without interest."N-No Your Majesty! It was someone else new...""What...?"All heads turned toward the man.They were all curious about the man who was going to replace Zack."Yes! It was also because of him that I was chased from Lunarstella..."The man said with anger, but remembering the scary glare of the new Lord Commander, he shivered."Did he find you...?"Helio asked with surprise.The spies they sent to Lunarstella were all formed with hard training for ten years before going there.If the new Lord Commander found him that fast, he seemed to be quite the smart one."N-No Your Majesty!"The man replied, lowering his head."Then ?""He chased me out because of my face...""Eh ?"The Emperor and the other people were stunned for a moment."Your face ?""
"Yes, he is fighting the Nychterin Imperial army led by the Nychterin Emperor.""W-Wow! That's why Rhoni was angry ? As expected, I would have wanted to fight that Emperor''Kailes said in a jealous tone."Pfttt! You will lose pathetically!"Sayna laughed as she played with her umbrella."S-Shut up Sayna! You can't know that!""Whatever, I'm not interested in you...I heard that some of the Solaria heroes were very handsome!"Sayna cheeks' flushed as she said that.Any ordinary man would have found her current appearance extremely charming."Why do I have two crazy younger sisters..."Kailes spat, disgusted by his sister.He knew well Sayna's strange fetish..."You are not to talk about craziness, Kailes."Samia, Kailes' elder sister, said with a snort.Kailes snorted back at her.He also knew Samia very well.She was very protective of her three sisters.As for her brothers, she didn't care whether they were alive or not."Enough."Rhaines' voice stopped them."I'm not here to talk ab
A month ago…Five days passed since their fight against the last assassins and Zack's death.Aita, Selena and Narvi were still inside the forest though they were near Lunarstella's border.It was thanks to Selena that they could walk the right way.Before leaving the place, they cleaned the battlefield to not leave any traces.It was Selena's suggestion.If someone learned right now that Zack, the Lunarstella's Lord Commander, died, it would be catastrophic.She was afraid that enemy empires would attack them directly in their weak moment.Especially the Ankouna Empire.Zack was a pillar of Lunarstella's supremacy after all.His death lowered Lunarstella's power greatly.Since Zack was dead, she could put his body in her space ring or, rather, in her hairpin that also served that purpose.As for the other's bodies, they were burned and destroyed by Aita's wind magic.The bodies of the hundreds of assassins who attacked them were already destroyed by Zack before, so there were no more
