As Zero standing holding a sword. The giant monster glare at him. Now he is the target of the monster and start to attack, but before it even land a hits Zero suddenly vanish from the sight of the giant sentinel. Faster than the speed of light Zero jump higher than the monsters height and without any hesitation he strike, Zero attack in one swing of his sword. The whole mountain was destroyed and scattered. A massive damage that anyone could imagine the light was shown all over the country everyone on the ship of Sky reapers saw the massive distraction. Its like a thousand volcano erupt all the same time in one place everyone is shocked and speechless to what they saw. The sound of the attack that is louder that even the clouds in the sky was shattered. Animals from far country was alarm. Even the king Validyr feels the power that exceed beyond the whole world power. The black ops was stunned as they feel the magic power they never encounter before. While the 70 feet tall high monster was cut clean in two from head to button, burn into crisp that his whole skin was burn out into ashes flesh and bone was left burning from extreme heat, vaporize blood from sentinel scatter all over the surface. Melting stones everywhere fire burn everything, the mountain was completely destroyed in one slash. The giant sentinel is defeated by Zero.
After the attack Zero pass out and falls to the ground.
*As saturo saw them he shout*
Saturo: "Rescue them now!"
Everyone is stunned to what they encounter, an unbelievable magic power.
Meanwhile in the City of Gord the king sitting on the throne. Was alarmed to what everyone encountered.
A throne made of pure Gold and Silver located in the highest place of throne room, in his left side the seats of the first general and in his right side the seat of the second general and third general. There are a golden carpet in the middle of the room from the door toward the king's throne, the carpet was made of the skin of rare pure gold unicorn.
King Validyr: *That power i feel just now, that is something i never felt before who ever it is or whatever it is that's something i can't ignore*
A soldier walks in "All hail King Validyr" The soldier says "the black ops just arrive. They are waiting outside and seems they succeed getting the Crimson Crystal." A man happily says while bending the knee and head bow down.
King Validyr Smiles "Let them in!" He ordered.
Ryou arrives in the presence of the king as they reach the king they shows respect.
Ryou: "All hail king Validyr!" Then he shows the Crystal to Validyr and gave it to him. "This is the Crystal my king."
King Validyr: "Good!" As the king takes the Crystal he feels the power within that gives him almost triple the amount of his current strength. "This! With this i will be unstoppable, but it is not enough to become powerful to take over and defeat the Pyro and Lotus kingdom. For now I have something use for this." He ordered the soldier "Call the second general tell him to meet me in the dark cave near the south wall of the kingdom."
Soldier: "Yes, my king!" The soldier left.
Validyr: "You did a great job Ryou, you and your team deserves a reward. I will grant your squad an access to master grade training facility where you can train your ability to its limit at the same level with high ranking colonels and i will grant you an access to perfect library where you can study all above normal level tactics and fighting techniques. And lastly your squad will recieve a dark ball enhancement. That can only be obtain from dark continent we have only limited supply of those and that will help you to enhance your mana capacity making you stronger. You can now leave."
Ryou: "Thank you my king!"
Ryou and his squad left,
6 Hours later inside the dark cave the second general is waiting for king Validyr. His wearing golden armor that shines even in the darkness while covered in cape made in fur of darks wolves. Infront of him is a giant mega canon with 350 feet tall and 500 square meeters wide made in fortified meteorites stone covered in black magic spell. It was build inside the dark cave mainly purpose for war against the legion of sentinel and was used in the age of war against 3 continents of the world also known in the history called "Battle of continent" this was made by 700 powerful bless magic user at that time. using powerful curse item it can provide a powerful attack that can completely annihilate a whole country in one strike. It was named after the strongest bless user in history, the father of three kingdoms named "Lucious" now king Validyr is planning to use this godly weapon against the two kingdoms also known as the Pyro kingdom and Lotus kingdom.
Validyr: "general Gorem, as expected you never been late how's the Lucious now? I heard they almost done fixing it, since it was destroyed the last time it was use hundreds of years now."
Gorem: "King Validyr" He greets the king "Yes its almost done we only need some polishing and more inspection before we begin the trials of this monstrous weapon. It is hardly to fix from the original state since it was almost destroyed back then and the design is really complex than what we expected. But we still able to gets the design and improvised, adding more details thanks to our new bless workers and new advance technology and magic. We only have one proble--"
The king interrupt the general while talking
Validyr: "Is this what you need?" He shows the Crimson crystal "this will be enough for that thing."
Gorem: "M-My king w-where did you get that?" He says with surprise expression on his face "That is the crimson crystal, that thing has no comparable value in this world like other crystals and stones exist in this world. As far as i know there are only five of them in this world how do you manage-- I-im sorry my king its not that i doubt your power but..."
Validyr: "I am king Validyr and theres nothing i can't get in this world" proudly he says "And this is the reason why i called you here i want you to use this to test the Lucious"
Gorem: "I will gladly accept this my king!" *How can be this man handle the crystal by his own hand isn't he bless person? He's that so powerful to hold it in barehands a crystal like that, i cant emagine how powerful he is now. A normal person handle that thing might turn into ashes even i myself can't emagine holding it.* He thinks with curious thoughts
Validyr: "The stone era has beggan!" He says with deep loud and vicious voice, then he shout "I king Validyr, will reign to the end of the world! Everyone will fear me, every nation will respect me, my name will be known and list in the legends of human kind! Bwhahaha! With evil tone he laugh.
*He's gone mad* Gorem thinks.
Meanwhile in the ship of Skyreapers
Cold wind blows in his face, strong one uncovering his body that very feeble and exhausted due to extreme used of mana. He slowly open his eyes, the wind was gusting through the window, as he look around a vintage room amaze him, a sea of clouds is visible from the bed and a smell of aromatic bred soaking his nose. He tried to move but his body covered in bandage are too fragile to move.
Zero: "whe- Where... Am.. I" Forcing his frail body to stand up. *Fuck I can't move my body..* "He-- Hello?" with shaking voice he ask "Anybody's here? Hello!?"
"You can't move, don't force yourself. Rest for now.." a deep voice coming from an old man walks inside the room, wearing brown Kāsāya. He has a long white ponytail, a thick silver beard, and stretched earlobes with 3 piercings in both ears.
Zero: "W-- who are... You?" he ask.
Satura: "I'll tell you everything when you are fully recovered. I also wants to ask some questions for you. For now rest." Commanding tone he said and slowing walk away.
Zero: "I need to get home! My- my grandpa is waiting for me... He.. he needs me!" He shouts a desperate voice. "Please let me go!"
He again falls to sleep, his eyes forcibly closing. Before his eye was shut he saw a girl running inside towards him.
"Hey! Can you hear me?" A calm and caring voice of a woman "You're okay.. don't worry.. Breathe slowly.."
Satura: "Make sure you watched over him, Kurasa take a good care of him." A concerns voice "we might have a new member."
Kurasa: "Sure i can handle him."
Out side of the ship.
As the clouds storming the ships above the sky, strong winds forcing everyone to hold tights. Make up of mix of woods and steal the ship are fast enough to flight 2,790mph. A wind barrier made by Rin to minimized the airflow over the ship. He's position is always in front of the ship.
Yuriko: "With this speed we will reach the sanctrum within 2 days." A proud voice he shouted "This is one in my thousands of inventions, no one in the world can compare. One of my masterpiece. The Sky Walker!" Stretch his hand both up.
He stood up in the middle of the ship proudly walking. Wearing grey thicc winter coat, black shining shoes and a blue color side-parted wavy hairstyle.
Sandy: "Here we go again.."
Satura walks in a circle room full of candles place besides of the wall all lights up. A man lying in the middle looking sick. His One eye is covered in patch. The full body is covered in bandage and a long white piece of cloth. Barely moving but a strong will power helping him to breath. "Satura... Wi-- with massive magic mana power, I can tell its you.." The mans says
Satura: "I was able to talk to him, but he still can't make conversation due to his condition. We'll let him rest before we infiltrate the kingdom. Two days... Two days from now. I will make sure that Kurasa will heal you within the time frame. We need you and Serena. Rest well Hank, We can't let the kingdom have the Crystal."
Hank: "Surely! you are a man of promise!" He smiles.
2 Days later
Toma supporting him to walk. Zero struggling in his own body barely standing up, as they walks inside the room everyone was there as the Sky reapers ready for a meeting. An Uncanny feeling he experienced as everyone is watching him walkings inside the room, Toma help him so sit on a chair as he placed his crutches at the back. He sees eyes of everyone watching him. The uneasiness aura he experiencing was new to him.
"Zup guys?" Zero says
With the intention of good gesture he says, "Look, I need to go home now. My grandpa probably needs me, please ask me anything. I will answer it quickly as possible." A convincing tone he state, "He have sick and--"
"And need to be cure." Saturo interrupts as he walks inside a powerful magic mana filled the room, a heavy and immense aura overflowing from a mere old man "As the Doctor said, There's nothing we can do about that illness, he's going to die and its inevitable"
Zero: "Watch your fucking mouth!" *How did he know that?* a threating voice he says "I'll cut your tongue for that."
Satura: "I like that idea too, young man. However its not that easy. you see, why we need you here is not because we want to know who your are or what's you're doing inside the cave during the raid."
"We want to know how you did that" Serana speaks, a curious thoughts containing mix emotion of fear and excitement going on in her heads. She stand, as she walks across the room saying. "I saw you... I didn't sense any mana from you, I see how your feet and hand was destroyed... I-- I am not hallucinating.. I know what I saw. you were covered in your own blood! Barely breathing and competing against death."
"Before I lost conscious, I saw you going after something..." Hank says "I don't know what that is... but-"
Zero: "A sword.." He answered
Hank: "Sword?"
Zero: "It was a sword.. I was terrified... and then.. And then I saw it at the top of golds and treasures. I don't know what's happening that time, I can't hear and feel anything, my body moves on its own; its like the swords calling me. It's shines the brightest in my sight. It absorbs the darkness, a pure light that purifying everything arounds it. I tried to pull it from the rock where it was struck but... but I never though it has a huge power within. still I continue to pull it out, my body feels like its burning inside. I didn't hesitate, slowly I was able to pull it out... little by little... after that... The last thing I remember was I am falling from the sky... feeling exhausted and pain all over my body."
"But when we found you, you were never holding a sword?" Rin ask "where is it now?"
Satura: "Inside him.."
Zero: "What do you mean inside me?" He looks confused as questions beginning to fill his toughs. "Looked, I'm not playing around here. I'll tell you I was there only to gathered golds to sold!" He shouts.
Satura: "I know. However Its more likely your destined to be there. Not a mistake or coincidence. It was your fate. and from now on your life will change." A frightened voice he state "The sword you saw is the a part of your life from the beginning. Not only a part of your life but also the sword you saw, Has played a BIG role in the Worlds history and the beginning of human kind... I never though it was real..."
Hank: "Human history?"
Sandy: "You mean this guy, is not just accidentally saw a sword and was able to pull it out but also a part of the mankind history? I- I don't get it.."
Serena: "you never though it was real?" Serena so confused as everyone deeply thinking what's Satura saying.
Satura: "It was only a legend when I was a child, It just a mere story telling from my grandfather, a myth that I was dreaming when I was a child.. a fantasy.. from the very ancestor of my clan that was meant to happen.."
Kurasa: "By meant to happen? more likely a prophecy?"
Satura: "I barely remember the story but its more likely this..." Using his magic power he creates big screen like a hologram in front of everyone then he begin to tell the story, he thought just a myth.
