Matthew knew some of the runes had their uses, some are for activating and getting its ability it gives. Some were used as keys to open such treasures and other loots. He knew the Rune of Weapons of both Heavenly and Demonically were keys to someplace dangerous. Some were completely unknown by him and so he decided to consume some of the runes.
He chose Rune of Demon, Rune of Angel, Rune of Upgrade, Rune of Mystical Energy, Rune of Grimoire, Rune of Martial Element Control, and Rune of Arts. He used the rune activator and all the runes metamorphose into a floating liquid ready to be drank. He drank them accordingly each gave him big impacts such as strong amount of pain. The surroundings blew away. Alexander, Emilia, and Luciel observed as their master grow.
A straight light came from the skies and Matthew floated. A light pierced right through Matthew's chest as he bursts into light, shocking everyone around the forest. Each beast noticed the strong presence and became aware of it. It was just a moment but it felt as if Matthew's presence was felt all over the places of the world...
"Extraordinary..." Luciel exclaims.
"This is why I have no objections having him as my master..." Alexander replied.
"He isn't just an ordinary prince, he's beyond an ordinary human being. Incomparable to anyone or anything... He accelerates his cultivation faster than anyone I've ever known." Emilia said mesmerized at the sight of Matthew.
The whole den lit up for a few second... The Mystical Energy that emerged all throughout the Den was recognized by each breathing beast.
Matthew landed leisurely back on the ground back in his mind. He stood straight, he was dumbfounded at what just happened.
"What happened?" Matthew asked the three who were looking at him.
"You tell us." Luciel said as a reply. Looking so confuse and holding his laugh.
"You know, we aren't really surprise like we are supposed to anymore. I'm so used to seeing him grow and grow in a small amount of time that it's expected." Emilia giggled.
"I agree." Alexander said.
Matthew tilted his head with confusion, trying to process in his head what they all were saying. "I assume we attracted some dangerous beasts?"
"Most-likely." Luciel answered.
Matthew scanned the face of Luciel finding a hint of worry. "You aren't scared?"
The three laughed hard at what the young man said. "H-huh?! What are you guys laughing?!" Matthew asked.
"I can't it with you!" Emilia said.
"Look, I'd be more worried for the beasts than us." Alexander chuckles.
Luciel held his stomach laughing.
It was sudden... but the world stopped... Aurora filled the skies.
The three stopped laughing and felt the strong presence. The three shivered.
"Someone has awoken."
Phronyx and the rest of his siblings appeared. "April has finished hibernating." Phoinyx announced.
They all felt the power. It was an unknown force for everyone except Emilia.
"This feeling. Enchantress."
"Enchantress... she was also known as Nia Enchantress Acker, our aunt."
"I see... So April is the successor..." Emilia lost in thought had it hard to believe how crazy the Acker family was.
"Amashla is also a distant relative to Ackers. She has a strong blood close to someone well known, Iris Acker. Luciel is a distant relative but your destiny isn't fixed yet." Matthew explained.
"So each Acker is someone very strong..." Alexander said.
"Alexander Malachite. You have a long history behind you. You aren't just a simple being too." Matthew pointed at Alex.
He then looked at Emilia. "Emilia Forbes. You still don't wanna awaken the beast inside of you." He said making Emilia confused.
"What does that mean?" Alex and Emilia said.
"Such knowledge isn't something to be told, it is something for you two to discover yourselves."
"Let's go meet April. She must be confuse by now." Matthew said.
Before he could walk, something was flickering behind him. Luciel and Alexander noticed it too. Matthew looked behind.
Each living thing except Matthew were attacked. Each person had their heads crushed with such immense power leaving them on the ground.
The flickering grew more clear and golden light started to appear.
Felix who was inside the Birkwoed felt the thing and immediately went to the place... Klaerif who was on the underground cave felt it too leaving him no choice to check the immense power...
The two gods appeared behind Matthew. Matthew felt the two and faced them.
"What is this." Klaerif's animosity was felt.
"Danger." Felix added with his strong determination surrounding him.
"Wait." Matthew told them off.
The flickering started to grow and it blew pushing everyone out of the place including Klaerif and Felix. Both tried to resist the Mystical Energy it released but was unable to fight back putting them away from the mystery. Klaerif and Felix saw that Matthew was unharmed and hadn't move even an inch.
Matthew looked again in the flickering thing.
"Great Prodigy! I dare not touch the unknown!" Klaerif warned.
"John! It is profound and forbidden!" Felix shouted.
Matthew ignored both of them. Felix drew his wings as a support for fighting back. He sent waves of immense Mystical Energy. The mystery stopped the energy shocking Felix even more...
Matthew felt the strong thing it held. He reached out for it... slowly and cautiously... he grabbed it...
He was left confused, as he opens his palm, he sees a golden rune.
"It's fine. It's a rune." He says and looks behind at nothing. The placed disappeared and all it was was all nothingness. Just an endless path.
"You are here." someone appeared in front of Matthew.
Matthew looked at the person and he trembles... he fell on his knees as he feels the massive aura of the unknown person.
Everything turned into nothingness. Each corner was an endless path way to emptiness.... Matthew was lost.
