It has been months since Ken Orion tried drawing the Excalibur out of the stone which was lying in the castle. He tried so many times but failed to pull out the Excalibur and finally, he gave up trying. The whole Knyghtdom had lost hope in the heir to the throne, fearing that the worst would happen. A prince who was not deemed worthy to pull the sword from the stone was no prince!But Ken didn't give up as he tried day and night to pull the sword even though he failed at every attempt he made. It seemed fate was mocking at him—making things turn out worse for him.Arthur Dwayne remained a loyal Knyght to the Prince, never covering the throne as Ken could not draw the sword from the stone. It had been prophesied thousands of years ago that one with the blood of Arthur Orion would draw the Excalibur and fight for mankind. An unknown catastrophe had been foreseen, heading towards the Southern Continent and so the wielder of the Excalibur was needed—the Excalibur which was among the most
Cassio and the others had finished setting up the numerous auras and were now ready to begin the rituals which would summon Evil Eye.The altars were all black with abyssal auras, evil and malevolence surging out of them and rising into the atmosphere. Foulness and vileness filled the environment, polluting it.I can't let this happen, Cassio thought to himself as he immediately took the initiative to attack. He had to attack when everyone had let down their guard!Particles were manipulated, causing reality to be altered. Before anyone could react, they were all erased from reality—they and the altars. Everything happened so fast that all of the Sorcerers could only die in regret, shock and fear. Only one thing was in their minds:"Why, Amon?"Cassio sighed, relieved that he had stopped the ritual. Now, he had to escape to the Southern Continent and join the fight before it would be too late. He raised his hand, manipulating particles so he could vanish. But at that moment, he felt h
Walter Anderson stood dignified, filling up the vast cosmos. His body was illusory, seeming to blend in with the infinities stacked upon each other. Undescribable and unfathomable auras surged from his whole body as his eyes stared at his mortal enemy, the one who had taken everything he had from him—Castor!When Walter Anderson had rushed to Duchy, he had immediately spotted Castor who had also been waiting for him all this while. Seeing each other, both of them unleashed their abilities to advance, ascending to Array ten instantly. They had immediately ascended out of the Physical Plane, suspended between the Physical Plane and Metaphysical Plane. Hence, their figures could be seen filling the whole universe while they remained illusory. They were trying as much as possible to restrain the laws and rules binding the whole infinite cosmos, the laws and rules which prevented higher existences from remaining in lower existential planes for a long period of time. But then, these laws an
Hellenes stood for several moments, staring at the Conundrum Deities with detest. Her grey eyes scrutinized them, boring into Their very existences."Now!"The Conundrum Deities immediately unleashed Their attacks, trying to kill Her like They had done before. They knew that now it would be harder to kill Her as Elder Deities were very powerful. Even a normal God would be hard to kill as They would keep on resurrecting immediately. All normal Gods could basically not die no matter what except more powerful factors came into play. And this was a threat higher than Gods, infintely beyond them. This was an Elder Goddess! Even though She newly ascended to become an Elder Goddess, She seemed very powerful—as powerful as all of them combined.There was a clear difference between beings who rapidly ascended up the Nine Paths of Immortality and beings who slowly ascended. The latter were always very powerful when they caught up with the former, accumulating infinite might with the aeons of re
The next day, Cassio woke up feeling happy. He didn't know why he was happy, but he felt very happy—as if something lacking in him had been fulfilled or would be filled. Today, he would be going on the voyage of mysteries—he would unravel the hidden truths behind this world once and for all! He didn't care if it would take him all his lifetime to fulfil this. What he cared about was solving the mysteries and leaving this world, cutting off the uncanny connection Ulf still had on him.Hearing that Cassio Damien Hastle would be journeying across infinity to find the hidden mysteries of this world, everyone was filled with bewilderment. They wondered if it was foolishness or he was being confident in his capabilities. They felt that even though his mother was the Goddess, doing things like that was very impossible! The Magician who first founded the Magic System had gone to journey across infinity but had mysteriously disappeared till this day! Cassio was not even close to the man who wa
Countless stars dotted the boundless space, twinkling radiantly. They were light years afar—maybe millions, billions or trillions—clustered up in their galaxies. There were singularities in space, areas of infinite matters which resulted in the creation of black holes.Cassio saw all this and was fascinated. He could see infinite types of particles dancing around him. He could see the particles all swirling around, creating the very structures of matters and energies."And this is what I call boundlessness," Cassio smiled wildly and then dissolved into a laughter.He was still soaring in outer space when he saw a figure cladded in white seated several metres from him. This figure was bathed in mysterious auras, making it hard for him to see through. He could see that the figure was crossing its legs as if meditating. For an unknown reason, he couldn't see the figure's appearance.At that moment, the figure stretched out its right hand towards Cassio. Its movement was calm and slow but
Many things in this world are exaggerated because they haven't been comprehended. People are afraid of what they do not know and what they cannot understand. Their knowledge are feeble like the feet of a young toddler, shaky and unstable. When one comprehends the truth behind most things of this world, they would be seen as what they are—weak. The world seems as it is to the feeble perception of people, interpreted as they perceive it.Cassio stood in the boundless space, pondering over all he heard from the Artificial Abyss and what he had seen of the solar system. He wondered how mysterious the world was and how boundless it spread like draperies across lines. The planets have never been spherical as people saw it. What they saw was an illusion as they had not seen the truth of the world. He was able to see irregular shapes of the planets because he saw the truth of the world—the truth that planets were grotesque, without shapes or description.Who is this Omnipotent Dharma that set
Mysteries are endless, going on till infinity. To know what mysteries truly are—to reach them, one must go on a voyage of mysteries—of infinity. When one has ascended beyond mysteries, there is nothing left to ascend beyond again except oneself.Cassio floated through the infinite space, not knowing where to go or where he came from. But then, he knew he was somewhere infinitely far away from world he called home—infinitely beyond the Archverse even.He kept on pondering on Teraph's words, assimilating them. Everything was a piece of fiction—a collective imagination of the Conceptuals. Everything was nothing but words in a book. The more he thought about it, the more he felt he didn't belong to this fictional world. But then, he couldn't bring himself to give up all he had known—all he had lived through. He couldn't bring himself to forsake his former and present life, taking up the status of a Sefirah. He couldn't bring himself to be perfect, existing beyond fiction and representing
Cassio and the others who were present on the battlefield and were still alive were healed by the clergyman who had just arrived to stop Walter. He was a Rank six Archbishop of the Church of the Moon and currently oversaw all the affairs of Arthur's City in place of the Prelate who wasn't always around. Like the other clergymen he was cladded in a white robe with silver threads embroidered across, a silver pendant with a moon emblem hanging down his neck. His hair was white as snow while his eyes were as blue as the sea and calm as the morning breeze. His aura soothed everything around, making the battle scene seem like a paradise. Unfortunately apart from Cassio, Ken and Louis every other knight who had attacked Walter lost his life. All of their corpses had being mangled beyond recognition, their armous shredded. "He's being dealt with," the Archbishop said as he pointed at Walter who was now unconscious with his right hand. His action was very smooth and graceful, making the t
A young girl walked towards a castle casually. She had sea blue eyes and white long hair resting on her shoulders, her facial appearance gorgeous. She was dressed in a white floral gown, making her look more graceful like a swan. But within those eyes which appeared calm, were waves of turbulence which seemed to swallow whoever looked into them.Soon she got close to the castle and saw several guards standing there with their long spears. They were all dressed in black full body armours with a red dragon emblem imprinted upon them. They all narrowed their eyes within the helmet visors when they saw her."Halt!" one of them shouted as he pointed his spear at her. "How did you breach the castle's defenses?"The young girl smiled before turning back to glance in a particular direction, "It was a casual stroll past those guards."The other guards couldn't help but look at each other before thrusting their spears at her. They didn't know if she had dealt with the other guards or sneaked in
As the clergyman stepped forward, the other knights couldn't help but tighten their grips around their swords. With the power of a Priest, there was nothing this fugitive would do to escape right now. He was nothing but a magician at the Magic Circle array and a knight at the Will Projecting tier. There was no way he was going through the entire army of Arthur's City plus the clergymen who can change circumstances with mere words. It was said that powerful ones could affect reality itself by just saying it. Apart from knights and magicians, clergymen were another group of insanely powerful individuals favoured by the Supreme Goddess!"You can choose to give up and resist, Walter Anderson," the Priest said. "You've suffered a lot and need to be relieved of your resentment."Walter slowly pointed his sword at the Priest before saying, "You're right. I've suffered a lot and need to relieve my resentment. And that's why I must not be captured!"Sword of Crying Phoenix!He immediately empl
Cassio walked around the market through the crowd of people as he looked at the items for sale. Many people cast their gazes at him in horror as they moved away to maintain a distance. No, they were looking at something wrapped around his neck."That kid...he's wrapping a mutated python around his neck like some accessory!""He killed it?""Definitely. Look, it's still bleeding!""He looks like one of the knights. He's so young!""Wait, isn't that the style of cloth for the royal bodyguards?""This kid must be terrifying!""Didn't you hear? He's Cassio Patrick, Prince Ken's bodyguard! It's said he's even a Swordsman!""Unbelievable!"While the knowledgeable commoners conversed among themselves, the ordinary ones listened with rapt attention as they asked questions. Of course Cassio heard them but he proceeded to walk without saying anything.Suddenly he heard several bells chime, signifying an alarm. Soon several knights ran through the markets, ordering everyone to retreat into their
Cassio moved along with Medusa silently, evading the guards who were patrolling the castle even in broad daylight. He sometimes used the trees as covers and sometimes the statues. Several times the guards would hear footsteps which no doubt belonged to Medusa (who wasn't as nimble as Cassio) and run in that direction. But by the time they were there Cassio was long gone with Medusa. He moved like the wind.Soon they successfully arrived a concealed tunnel on Medusa's direction. This tunnel had a metallic door blocking it. Medusa didn't fret as she took out a hairpin from within her dress, slotting it into the keyhole before turning it professionally."How long have you been doing this?" Cassio couldn't help but ask. With the way Medusa was familiar with the whole lockpick it seemed she had used years to practise this action before becoming a master at it.Click!The door was unlocked and Medusa pushed it open with a smile, "First time I came to the castle I was so depressed and left o
Medusa clutched her stomach as Cassio led her to the servants quarters. As they went through the hallway she couldn't help but stagger like a drunkard as she blabbered. She even pressed her face to Cassio's face and muttered something about a god coming down to cook for her. Cassio was dumbfounded.I didn't know my cooking would be terrifying, Cassio thought to himself as he continued holding the girl. She slowly directed him to her room and opened the door. As a maidservant assigned to the prince's bodyguard, she was privileged to have a room of her own even though it wasn't grand. It was actually small with a small bed and a wooden cupboard. Despite this it was very clean without any sign of dust or cobweb.Cassio couldn't help but become embarrassed as he remembered the situation of his room. It was always very untidy if not for Medusa who always came to clean it up. This was due to his extreme laziness which was unparalleled just like his culinary abilities.Shifting the thought o
Clang! Clang! Clang!Series of white lights flashed as two blades clashed with each other. One was the blade of a large broadsword half the size of a adult while the other belonged to a saber."Being a knight is all about surviving!" Ken yelled as he continued attacking Cassio, forcing the latter to go defensive. He didn't even give him a slight chance of attacking. "One second of lagging and you're dead!"Cassio's hands were now becoming numb as he blocked Ken's terrifying strikes. Even though this Boxer had reduced his power by a big margin, his strength was still terrifying. When the two blades collided, Cassio could feel his blood boil. Every organ in his body screamed in pain as he blocked Ken's sword strikes.Ken slashed at Cassio's chest, his broadsword tearing through the air. Silvery ripples appeared in the sword's direction, heading alongside the sword towards Cassio.I've always being weak all my life, Cassio thought within himself as he lunged forward. I've never had a cha
There was silence in the underground cave for some moments before the genie cleared his throat and transformed into a little child with a puff of smoke. This child looked very normal and was dressed like a noble child, golden ornaments decorating his body. Seeing this Philemon couldn't help but widen his eyes which were shining brightly. He felt like snatching the genie lamp right now and becoming the genie's master. If he wished for more wishes that would be insane! Wishing for more genies would be unimaginable! On the other hand the Chief remained very reserved as he said, "There's no problem with that wish so you can grant it with immediate effect." This is why I don't do business with magicians, the genie couldn't help but frown slightly as he closed his eyes, "Coming up!" He then rubbed his chubby hands together, causing an ethereal energy to surround him. The cave trembled for moments as this ethereal energy split into several other energies. These energies had different
Some miles away from Arthur's City, Camelot's capitalSeveral horses neighed as they galloped across the desert, their long legs digging deep into the hot sands. The riders were all dressed in black outfits which seemed like bandages, hoods over their heads and masks covering their mouths. Scythes were strapped their sides or backs, their eyes narrowing with fierce gazes. This was none other than the Chaldeans, the most powerful and notorious bandits in Camelot. Now the Chaldeans had increased in number and they were now about one hundred skilled bandits.As they rode, only one individual remained in the front of the caravan. His eyes were even more fiercer than the rest and he had a terrifying aura around him. He would occasionally lashed at his black horse, making it neigh as it galloped faster. The others also did the same, following closely behind him.After riding for about an hour, the man in front, who was obviously the leader of the Chaldeans, halted. He raised his left hand u
