The Chronicles of a Mage God

The Purple Pavilion

Everyone gasped at the mention of the name. The officers broke out in a cold sweat. Davis grimaced when he heard the name. He was right. They had underestimated the gravity of the issue.

The Purple Pavilion was synonymous with devastation. Anywhere the Purple Pavilion appeared only destruction was left in their wake.

They were a transcendental organization responsible for the destruction of various cities, kingdoms, and even empires.

There was very little information about the transcendental organization, as every information known about them was extremely confidential.

"I believe everyone present is familiar with the name." General Yuklein stated, scanning the faces of everyone present.

"From the information given to us by the Magic Association, the Purple Pavilion is on the move. We don't know what their objective is yet but we have been told to be on standby. The next information I want to pass out now is extremely confidential, and once you've heard it there is no going back."

General Yuklein sat down on his chair and observed the expression of everyone present.

"If you know you aren't ready to hear the information I have with me please exit the room. I will not judge or condemn you for your actions, as what we are dealing with is extremely dangerous."

The General took a bottle of water and drank it before saying in an extremely serious tone.

"There is no guarantee that you will be alive if you choose to remain behind to hear what I have to say. Please weigh your choices carefully before making a decision."

The officers looked at one another with hesitant expressions on their faces. They were silent for over 2 minutes until an officer broke the silence.

"General, can we at least think about it? It's too sudden to make a decision now."

Several officers nodded in agreement at the officer's words. General Yuklein sighed before replying.

"I'm afraid we don't have the luxury to wait. It's either you make a decision now or you leave the room."

The officer, who asked the question sat down, obviously displeased with his response. After considering for a while, he stood up and said to the General in an apologetic tone.

"I'm sorry General, but I don't think I can listen to what you have to say."

The General closed his eyes and sighed before replying.

"I understand."

The officer saluted before making his way out of the room.

"Well? Is there anyone else who would like to leave?" General Yuklein asked.

Several officers looked at each other and nodded before standing up.

"I apologize, General."

"I'm sorry General."

They all apologized to the General before saluting and exiting the room. The officers present in the room dwindled and soon only 4 people remained; General Yuklein, Colonel Davis, Colonel Bruce and the scholarly officer,  Lieutenant colonel James.

"Are you sure you want to stay behind?" The General asked, his eye piercing into the hearts of everyone present.

"Damn the Purple Pavilion! Whether they are monsters or beasts in human skin just bring them to me! I'll rip them apart!" Colonel Bruce shouted, displaying his stance on the issue.

The 2 officers who chose to stay behind nodded in response to Colonel Bruce's declaration. General Yuklein smiled at their actions. He was happy that they were still people ready to give their all for the military.

"Then without further delay, I'll brief you on the situation at hand." General Yuklein stretched his hands and his assistant gave him several files. He handed out the files to the officers present.

"The first thing I'll be telling you is confidential information about the transcendental organization." The General said and snapped his fingers.

The screen on the table suddenly changed and a different image appeared.

"The Purple Pavilion is recognized as a SS-class terrorist organization. That's the highest danger ranking a criminal organization can receive."

General Yuklein stood up and walked around the conference room.

"They are very secretive, and till now we have only recieved information on 6 of their members."

General Yuklein snapped his fingers and a new image appeared on the screen. 6 people all dressed in a priest's outfit with a purple robe draped over their outfits all appeared on the screen.

"Out of the 6 known members, 5 are classified as S-class terrorists."

The General snapped his fingers again and one of the images covered the screen. It was a middle aged man with scars all over his face. He was bald and on the chest area of his robe 5 stars pinned on it.

"Aleksandr Nicolev. His codename is 'Scarface'. S-rank terrorist. He awakened the hidden class 'Arsonist.' He has annihilated over 7 major cities. His largest crime is the 'bombing of Eilks' where he set the whole city of Eilks on fire. Over 1.7 million people have perished in his hands. Last sighting was at Serhust Kingdom."

Colonel Davis frowned as he read through the information on Scarface. It seemed that the Purple Pavilion was scarier than he thought.

General Yuklein snapped his fingers and another image appeared.

This time it was a young man in his late twenties that appeared. He had black hair with a boyish face and his robe also had 5 stars pinned on it.

"Killian Russel. His codename is 'The Seer'. S-rank terrorist. He awakened the special grade class 'Oracle' which lets him see a few hours in the future. Due to this special ability, he has been elusive to our forces and has never been caught. He has killed over 1 million people and is responsible for the blood blackout in Hirus city. Last sighting was close to the Krul borders."

General Yuklein snapped his fingers again and another image appeared on the screen.

This time it was a very gorgeous woman with a dazzling figure. She looked to be in her mid twenties and was brown skinned. She was dressed in a nun's outfit but that did nothing to offset her beauty, her curves still pronounced in the outfit. Her purple robe had 5 stars pinned on it.

"Katryn Bell. Her codename is 'The Illusionist'. S-rank terrorist. She is the only one on the list who isn't from the human race. Her race is unknown. Her ability to create illusions is first-class. She has taken the lives of over 1.5 million people, and over 1.4 million were men. She has wiped out 5 major cities and is mainly known for the Nurkes massacre. Her whereabouts is unknown."

Colonel Bruce frowned after learning the information of the S-ranked criminals. The Purple Pavilion was no pushover. Just three known members were responsible for events that caused massive destructions worldwide. The three of them had orchestrated events that took millions of lives.

General Yuklein snapped his fingers and another image appeared on the screen.

It was a young woman with white hair. Her skin was so pale it was almost white. She was very attractive, and had a sacred type of beauty. Katryn was a seductive type of beauty, the one to set hormones raging while the woman had a goddess type of beauty, the one that made you want to worship her. She looked to be in her late teens and was also dressed in a nun's outfit. Her purple robe had six stars printed on it. She seemed to be a rank higher than her colleagues.

"Alice Krissel. Her codename is 'The Ice Witch'. S-rank terrorist. She awakened the Mage class but with a peculiarity. She can only use the deviant element Ice. She has taken the lives of over 2 million people. She has wiped out over 10 major cities and is responsible for the 'Ice castle' event. Last sighting was at Dream city."

Lt. Colonel James grimaced as he read through the Ice witch resume. The Ice castle event was an infamous event that occurred 2 years ago, where a whole major city was frozen. Who would have thought that the culprit was just a girl in her late teens?

General Yuklein snapped his fingers and the fifth image appeared.

It was a man in his early twenties. He was good-looking man with blond hair. He wore a pair of glasses and seemed like your average university student. He was dressed in the usual priestly outfit and had six stars pinned on his purple robe.

"Fritz Kruger. His codename is 'The Psychic'. S-rank terrorist. His awakened class is unknown. It is known that he has the ability to influence the thoughts of living beings, but monsters and humans. He is responsible for the tragedy at Veresk Kingdom, where he instigated the attack of 2 disaster class beasts and several calamity class beasts. He has claimed over 3 million lives and he is by far the most dangerous on the known list. His last sighting is unknown."

General Yuklein snapped his fingers and the last image appeared on the screen.

It was young man in his mid twenties. He had black hair and was very handsome. He wore the priest's outfit but his purple robe had only three stars, showing that he was ranked the lowest among them.

"Azgalor Klein. The latest recruit in the Purple Pavilion. He is yet to receive a codename. D-rank terrorist. He awakened as a Mage. He has yet to cause major destruction. He is responsible for the destruction of Rakades city, which claimed over 50,000 lives. His last sighting was at Rakades city."

The officers frowned. Compared to the previous terrorists this one seemed a bit far fetched to be classified as a top priority.

General Yuklein naturally understood their thoughts.

"While Azgalor is just a D-rank terrorist, the Magic Association have placed him as a top priority for reasons best known to them. They have concluded that he is as dangerous as his comrades. It would be in our best interest to not underestimate anyone from the Purple Pavilion."

General Yuklein snapped his fingers and the images disappeared. He looked at the officers present. They had all broken out into a cold sweat.

It was understandable, as the Purple Pavilion was a transcendental terrorist organization, capable of wiping out cities and kingdoms. They wouldn't even break a sweat if they wanted to kill them.

General Yuklein looked at everyone present before speaking.

"The reason I told you all this is simple. From the moment you chose to remain in this room you joined the upcoming battle against the terrorist organization. We have received news that they are plotting something far sinister than anyone present could imagine. You may die at anytime without knowing how, because that is how dangerous they are. But as soldiers, it is our duty to erase any thing that will endanger the safety of this city."

The General took a drink out of the water bottle on the table. He stretched out his hands and his assistant dropped yet another file on it.

"The Pearl Magic Association has gotten authorization from the Imperial Tower and they have decided to create a special force responsible for all issues regarding the terrorist organization. Various officers around the empire have given their consent to join the special unit. Any information concerning the unit will be passed across to you. That will be all."

General Yuklein stood and the officers present immediately saluted. The General nodded in satisfaction before exiting the room.
