A young man with obsidian black hair, small parts of his fringes scattered around his beautifully sculpted and outlined face and a pair of bright violet eyes that shined coldly in the moonlight.
His palms had a transparent orb containing the 12 Magic Elements that existed in the Universe layered down. The orb had a powerful aura that was corresponding to the handsome and cold look of the young man.
"Ei-Eiran, listen. W-we can talk t-this out, hmmn? Y-you see...um...Uncle didn't know t-this would happen, okay." A staggering middle aged man with long dark brown hair, whose body was covered in blood from wounds of different degrees. His hair was haggard and blood was dripping from his head.
This man's expression was that of fear and desperation, he spoke in a shaky voice with fear lingering around all his expressions of his face.
The most eye-catching thing about the middle aged man was the fist sized hole between his abdomen and upper chest. His organs could be seen hanging down despite the heavy bleeding from all corners of the wound.
"Uncle? I never knew a man who would kill his entire family and kind for obtaining a power well beyond his reach!"
"Claymore Aphelion, I, Eiran Aphelion, expel you from the Aphelion Family, Clan and Faction. For your crimes of murdering 300,000 apprentice magicians, 35 Elders and the Clan and Faction Head of the Aphelion's 27th Generation, I deprive you of your titles and revoke all records as someone who used to deserve the Aphelion surname!"
A simply icy cold and aloof voice resounded the area. Eiran's expressionless face now had turned into that of disgust, contempt and anger.
The middle aged man had all colours drained of his face with regret written all over his face for a moment.
Eiran at least thought that this traitor had some remorse for what he had done. However, Claymore had broadened his understanding of humans once again.
"Pity...A great pity. I-If they were dying anyway, t-the..y.... should've just g-gave in to....t-to the Magic F-forma....tion." Claymore said in a difficult voice showing little to no remorse. He even had an evil grin to his face.
Eiran could no longer stand it and said.
"Claymore, you should just die."
With that, the transparent orb flew towards Claymore and sucked in all energies from around and imploded.
By this time, Eiran had already teleported at a safe distance away from the area of implosion.
After the implosion, he looked around and saw the scattering remains of magic power in the air belonging to the hundreds of thousands of apprentices, elders and people who would willingly die for the clan.
He had a heavy heart which he felt was weighing him down to his knees. He had an indescribable feeling of guilt and powerlessness.
He got on his knees and kowtowed thrice for the souls and got up. He collected all the scattering magic power in one place, added some of his own light magic and scattered the remains in all corners of the Clan.
Soon, small plants and life organisms began to sprout out from the ground and give a unique shine under the dark moonlit night with the mix of the golden magic particles.
"May you all rest in peace." He said with a tone of great respect whilst lowering his head down as strands of long tears dripped down from his guilt filled eyes.
He wiped them off real quick and took a deep breath, tired.
He was away on a Mission thousands of miles away from the clan when, the crazy b*stard Claymore finally decided to act up by setting up and activating a very powerful magic array formation.
This particular magic array formation would use the magic power and the life force of the people in it and would enable the magic array setter to gain a corrupt and an illegal despicable way to become a God like existence.
However he failed, as their magic power and life force was far from enough even after being the World's top geniuses. And the fact that everyone in the formation destroyed their own Magic core and killed themselves further disallowing him to complete his goal.
By the time Eiran had arrived, everyone had already killed themselves and he was late.
And the events following that came down as the above.
"God of Judgement and Justice, Sianthus, the thing I'm about to do, is it right?" A guilty hearted cold tone asked Sianthus, God of Judgement and Justice for his opinion on something he was planning.
"Eiran, I have already told you before it will do you or the world no good." A deity like voice answered to his question.
Eiran at this point had his eyes closed, frustrated and devastated.
"However.....maybe you could do it anyways." The same previous voice resounded in Eiran's ears once more with a slight pause with a hint of hesitation in his first word.
"Eiran, the world is gonna face a huge catastrophe once more in the future. This action of yours is the cause. But now the future is clogged with a power I can't penetrate. Thus, your actions now doesn't change anything." An ethereal female voice resounded in Eiran's ears this time.
"Goddess of Fate and Future, what is this about?" Eiran's eyes opened, an alertness visible in his brows as he inquired about the situation from the Goddess of Fate and Future, Goddess Su Shan Yin.
"Eiran, enter the God Space first." The female voice said again, pulling Eiran into another space dimension.
After an unknown period of time, Eiran was back and was standing lone and aloof against the world in the outer space overseeing the Earth.
He took a deep breath and did some hand seals and brought out small portions of the Gods' power given by them in the previous meeting.
There were 15 of these powers with their own unique and exquisite auras and appearances.
Eiran started crazily condensing magic power of the universe between his palms, the magic condensed were all being poured into the hand seals he was doing before.
A bright streak of light shone from his body as he shouted out.
"Eternal Gods' Seal!"
A brighter light emitting from him engulfed the whole Earth reducing its whole size by three fold. After the completion of his task, Eiran fell into the bottomless Space.
