-6 month later-

"Good as usual" Zaion said to Beatrice while looking towards the mountain of human corpse "Your quite the prodigy you know that?" Zaion commented "thanks Sir Zaion" "no need to thanks me it's simply the truth, your ability is quite powerful too... Azimuth" Zaion said in a serious tone "it's true my ability to reflect any damage be it psychically or mentally is quite powerfull" Beatrice proclaimed in a proud voice "now that I think of it I don't really have a innate technique" Zaion commented "you wanna know why? It's because you aren't even supposed to be able to use magic" moonlight replied "I know but you sorta became my innate technique you know?" Zaion said to moonlight "I know and I am aware" moonlight answered "what a boring answer, Beatrice you done?" Zaion Asked while leaning against a wall "yep pretty much done over here" Beatrice answered while getting her sword from a dead body "alright let's get out of here we've done our job" Zaion said while heading to a base, as Zaion and Beatrice entered the base both of them was greeted by a woman with purple hair and orange eyes "welcome back Master Zaion and The Azimuth Beatrice" The woman said "How has Nocturne been going Stalste?" Zaion Asked the woman "we've been recruiting some talented people and spreading our influence but we need more budget" Stalste spoke with a proffesional voice "How about your ability The Void" Zaion Asked "my ability? It has been doing fine the voidwalkers been pretty tamed" Stalste answered calmly "call the other Lezviye" Zaion said in a serious voice "very well" Stalste bow respectfully before walking away "Your not safe Vastola, Your next" Zaion said in his mind

-4 month ago-

"Beatrice are you done here?" Zaion said while looking at the dead bodies below Beatrice feet "nope there's this presence can you feel it?" Beatrice asked Zaion in a serious voice "No need to ask your friend dear guest" A female voice spoke "My name is Stalste the one who owns this domain" Stalste proclaimed with a arrogant tone, suddenly Zaion and Beatrice hear footsep coming towards them and from the shadows appeared a woman who has purple hair and orange eyes wearing a big cloak "what do you want" Stalste asked Beatrice and Zaion "we are here sent by the knight to get rid of a so called 'Monster' seems like you match that description pretty well" Beatrice responded with a hint of murderous intent "I'll leave this one to you Beatrice" Zaion said to Beatrice while observing their actions "very well sir" Beatrice answered "let's observe them Moonlight" Zaion commented to moonlight

"Seems like this isn't going to be a friendly conversation" Stalste commented while doing a handsign "seems so, then don't mind me I'll kill you now" Beatrice said with an unimaginable amount of killing intent in his voice he said while drawing his sword

The Void:Voidwalkers

Stalste summons a bunch of portal that let's out a monster that has a appearance of a black smoke

"Is that all?" Beatrice commented, with a swift movement Beatrice killed most of the monster but once they're killed they create a black smoke "you Breath in this smoke you get infected and slowly turn into a voidwalkers" Stalste proclaimed "tch what an annoying ability"

Moonlight: Crescent slash

Beatrice does a slash forward sending a mana forward in the shape of a crescent if it hits the target it will blind the target for 2 seconds

"What?! That's... I see. What a cunning child" Zaion said from the back "he use your technique that's quite impressive don't you think?" Zaion said to moonlight "hm... Yes it's quite impressive considering he only saw the move rather than use it after all a technique it's still a technique it can b eyes by other people that's the essence of magic" Moonlight commented at the ongoing fight "Stalste technique is also quite unique she has basically her own dimension" Zaion commented "that's correct and I know those voidwalkers aren her only ability" moonlight also commented

As the fight gets more heated both of them trade blows after blows

The Void:Void Walker type Wyvern

Stalste summons a Voidwalkers reassembling a Wyvern and a powerful one at that

The Void: Voidwalkers

Stalste summons a black smoke humanoid like creatures from her portal that she commands

"Hm, a Wyvern interesting" Beatrice commented "I've read my fair share of creatures and I know exactly where their weak spot is" Beatrice said while dashing towards the wyvern eyes before he can reach the wyvern eyes a purple barrier stopped her "don't think I can't fight just because my ability is to summon the voidwalkers" Stalste said while launching a spell

The Void: Voidwalker Wrath

As Stalste chant this spell she creates two portal and as those two portal opens it emerges two giant hands and those hands grabs Beatrice and slam him down to the floor multiple time

As Beatrice cuts one of the hands he is frees from their grasp "your powerful I'll tell you that, but sorry I'm simply better.... Activate Azimuth"

The Azimuth:Activate

This technique allows for any damage be it psychically or mentally dealt to Beatrice will be dealt back to the attacker

"Sorry but I can't lose now" Beatrice said with a arrogant grin, As Stalste attacked Beatrice she gets hurt herself "that technique.... It's too powerful, I'm guessing it reflect all my damage huh?" Stalste said

"seems like I lose, there's nothing I can do" Stalste said in a defeated voice "good work Beatrice, and about your fate" Zaion said to Stalste ".... May I request something?" Stalste asked Zaion "are you the one who trained him?" Stalste asked "that's correct and?" Zaion Asked in a confused voice "it maybe selfish but. May I join you?" Stalste asked "..... Hm you have potential very well then but under one condition you mustn't betray me in any condition whatsoever" Zaion said to Stalste 'Very well then... Sir"

As the three of them head back to town Stalste asked a question "so sir do you have a organization by chance because I think you have quite the leadership and very observant" Stalste asked "actually no but I was planning on making team but an organization? Now that you mention it does help towards my goal" Zaion said to himself "What goal do you even have?" Both of them asked "... To destroy Vastola and the Vorgitern family, that's my goal if that what it takes then very well I'll make an organization" Zaion said with determination "Hm? Very well then good thing you have me because I have expirience with that kind of stuff" Stalste said

The Void:Dimensional Portal

Stalste creates a portal to any location she wants

"I know exactly the location of a great base" Stalste commented "just follow me" Stalste said while walking into the portal, as the three of them walk into the portal they arrived at a location seemingly in the middle of nowhere and there's only a cave entrance and Stalste continued to walk into the cave and opened a secret door in the cave revealing a big spacious base "welcome this is my former base for all the Voidwalker before I mastered my power but now I have no use for it" Stalste said proudly "seems like nobody has touch those base for a while all the furniture are here" Zaion commented "correct but now as for the plan for the organization what will it be? There's many choice but first how about a name?" Stalste asked Zaion "how The Nocturne?" Zaion said asking for a opinion "The Nocturne? Fine by me, Second we need a structure like ranks and so on but I'll handle that, third we need members" Stalste asked zaion in a serious voice "members? Your correct but how do we recruit member after all we are not going to be the nicest organization and after all, this organization is about me and it's hard to find a willing and powerful member" Zaion said to himself "Don't worry about that Master I'll handle that part" Stalste said in a confident voice "make yourself at home I'll do the recruiting"

-2 month later-

The nocturne has become quite the powerful organization in just two month thanks to Stalste effort the highest rank or Lezviye are all recruited, all 25 Letter are complete A to Z, "Kurona I have a mission for you" Zaion said to Kurona in a serious voice "what is it boss?" Kurona responded in a casual tone "southwest from here there is a army marching here led by Ruby Vorgitern I need you to bring her to me" Zaion said to Kurona while sipping his drink "Very well" Kurona said while he walked away from the room

-2 hours later-

As an army march forward they were stopped by a person "looks about right" the person said and as the person said that he touched the ground, "seems good enough" the man said with confidence as he touched the ground it crumbled creating a big ravine

The Destruction:Devil's touch

As Kurona destroy anything he touched it will have a 3 second delay before the target get destroyed by crumbling the Target

"Die" Kurona said calmly while most of the soldier falls into the ravine, suddenly a woman with a white commander uniform while also wearing a hat that has many badges and also wears a white torn cape, As she charged with a glowing blue sword at her hands she asked something "Who are you! State your identity and purpose!" The woman said fiercely while attacking Kurona while Kurona was dodging the sword slashes as he spoke "the name is Kurona I am the letter D of the Lezviye, I'm here to eliminate you and your army" Kurona said provocatively "what are you talking about? Letters? Lezviye?..... Oh I get it your apart of nocturne right? You bastard's have been killing villages right and left!" The woman said with with anger "we're much more powerful than you think, we attacked the village to simply attract your attention and your going to a village correct? That's simply part of boss Zaion plan" Kurona spoke with a tone of admiration"so your leaders name Zaion? I see so he planned this all out? He's a smart man sadly this is not going to work because he only sent you!" The woman said while raising her sword "My name is Ruby Vorgitern, The Daughter of Rycard Vorgitern and the Commander of the 4Th Division, Heed my word's I she'll be the one who will kill you" Ruby Proclaimed with a proud and confident tone "Good you'll be fighting serious I like a good challenge anyway"

The Destruction: Disintegrate

Kurona's hand glows with a dark, crimson aura, disintegrating anything it touches into dust. The ground beneath her sizzles as she steps forward, each footprint leaving a blackened, scorched imprint.

Ruby tightened her grip on her sword, her eyes narrowing at the sight of the destructive aura. She knew one touch would be fatal.

Vorgitern Technique: Crescent Reaper

Ruby swings her blade in a wide arc, releasing a silver crescent slash that slices through the air with razor-sharp precision, aiming to keep Kurona at bay.

Kurona sidesteps the attack, her movements fluid and unbothered, her aura spreading like a creeping shadow.

The Destruction: Oblivion Pulse

Kurona slams her palm into the ground, sending a pulse of destructive energy outward, warping and eroding everything in a ten-meter radius, turning rock and debris into crumbling ash.

Ruby leaps into the air, narrowly avoiding the expanding void beneath her. She uses the momentum to launch herself toward Kurona.

Vorgitern technique: Skyfall Descent

Ruby's blade glows with an ethereal blue light as she dives down from above, her strike carrying the weight of a falling star, designed to pierce through even the toughest defenses.

Kurona raises her arm, the destructive aura intensifying. The collision sends a shockwave through the battlefield, sparks flying as the sword clashes against raw destruction.

The Destruction: Abyssal Veil

A dark veil of energy erupts around Kurona, creating a protective barrier that erodes anything that comes close, including Ruby's descending attack, dissolving the blue light into nothingness.

Ruby flips backward, landing gracefully and repositioning herself. She could feel the sweat on her brow Kurona's power was more terrifying than she had imagined.

Vorgitern Technique: Phantom Mirage

Ruby dashes forward, her movements becoming a blur as she weaves in and out of sight, creating multiple afterimages to confuse Kurona. Each image swings a blade, making it impossible to discern the real Ruby from the illusions.

Kurona scowls, her eyes scanning the mirages with growing annoyance.

The Destruction: Void Rend

Kurona's hand slashes through the air, creating a wave of destructive force that cuts through the illusions, obliterating each one until the real Ruby is exposed.

Ruby barely evades the attack, feeling the searing heat as the destructive wave grazes her cheek, leaving a faint burn.

Vorgitern Technique: Final Eclipse

Ruby channels all her energy into her blade, the sword glowing with an intense, dark light. She swings it with a speed and power that transcends human limits, aiming for Kurona's heart a strike meant to end the battle in one decisive blow.

Kurona smirks, his aura expanding around her like a storm.

The Destruction: Devil's Embrace

Kurona meets Ruby's strike with both hands, his destructive aura flaring violently. The collision creates a blinding explosion of light and dark energy, swallowing both combatants in a chaotic dance of destruction and swordsmanship.

As the dust settles, both fighters stand, breathing heavily but neither willing to back down. The battlefield is scarred and warped by their powers, As both of them are tired and resting suddenly a portal opened and Zaion emerge from it "Hello..... Sister" Zaion said with hate and disgust at the same time as Zaion emerge from the portal he commanded kurona to retreat while he deal with the rest, and with that kurona retreated to the portal while he gets a conversation with his "Sister", "where is Father?" Zaion said with hatred towards saying the word Father it felt so foreign but..... He shrugged it off "Father? He's in the Vorgitern palace, but first why are you doing this brother?" Ruby Asked "don't even call me brother! You did nothing for my suffering, and why? Simple I wish to create a world where everything is fair, I supposed a balanced world" Zaion said with a crazy look then he raises his hand towards the remaining army that ruby commands "That's enough for now" Zaion said walking back to the portal "you deal with them, Stalste" Zaion said while entering the portal "very well master"

The Void: Voidwalkers type Swarm

With that Void creates alot of portal in the air and rains down a bunch of monster

"This will be a good feast, but spare that girl" Stalste said while pointing towards Ruby, with that the voidwalkers attacks what was the remaining member of Ruby division

-on the present day-

As all the Lezviye enter the Zaion awaits them with an authorities aura and Gaze "is that all? Stalste?" Zaion Asked Stalste that is currently standing next to Zaion "that's all 26 Lezviye master" Stalste responded respectfully "good, I'll get straight to the point today is the day we make nocturne an actual threat and how you may ask? Simple we declare war on the world and show them our might before that all unworthy of the title of Lezviye will be demoted, you can choose to fight for your title or to simply accept your new position understand?" Zaion stated in authorities tone and with cold gaze "I'm guessing so if your incapable to understand that then your not worthy to be a Lezviye, now all of you are dismissed" As soon as Zaion says that all of the Lezviye leave the room "Moonlight.... Are you ready? For the show?" Zaion Asked Moonlight while leaning in a chair with uncertainty in his voice "It has finally begun huh? Very well I'm always ready" moonlight said in exictement

-3 hour later-

Most of the Lezviye has been demoted and only 10 out of the original 26 Lezviye have not been demoted "Stalste I want you to recruit those who you deem worthy of becoming a Lezviye" Zaion Said "very well sir let me handle it" Stalste said before bowing and walking away from the room "I know the perfect person" Staslte mumble to herself

The Void: Dimensional Portal

Stalste creates a portal to anywhere she wants

As stalste exited the portal a person was waiting for her a Black haired woman and red eyed her hair was messy and unkept and she has a snake like Tongue and a white serpent around her neck "Lyria...." Stalste said quietly "oh? Isn't it rare to see the great Stalste here?" She said teasingly "Lyria I will get to the point will you join nocturne?" Stalste asked in a serious tone of voice "Nocturne... Nocturne? Oh right! That new organization right?.... Well depends on the leader is her competent? If so then I'll join why not I'm bored of these pathetic beings in my domain, so my answer is yes" Lyria said while looking at a human skull "good then you shall be Lezviye S the serpent" Stalste spoke in a serious voice "oh? You sound serious it's rare to see Stalste So serious about something" Lyria Said in a sarcastic tone of voice "tch shut up will you?" Stalste said in a annoyed voice "oh? Did I struck a nerve perhaps?" Lyria answered

-2 month later-

"The Lezviye is completely master" Stalste said in a respectful voice "very Well then,let show the world the power of nocturne!" Zaion said in a exicted tone "Let the show begin"

The Void:Dimensional Portal

Stalste creates a portal to anywhere she wants

As all the Lezviye entered the portal they arrived at Vastola "where it all begin" Zaion commented "Lezviye show no mercy" Zaion commanded them to attack the capital, as Zaion begin to levitate he spoke out his declaration

"Ladies and gentlemen,

Look around you, What do you see? A world clinging to outdated ideals of order and stability, built on a foundation of lies, greed, and complacency, The powerful cling to their thrones, manipulating the masses with empty promises and false hopes, But I, Zaion Arcadia, see the truth beneath this illusion, I see a world crying out for change, a world ripe for transformation and I am here to deliver it

I am not your savior, nor am I your villain. I am the architect of a new reality, one that will sweep away the old, broken systems and replace them with something greater. My organization, Nocturne, is not just a collection of loyal followers it is the heartbeat of revolution, We operate in the shadows, beyond the reach of corrupt governments and their pathetic attempts at control, We are the storm on the horizon, the force that will reshape the world as we see fit,

Nocturne's influence is already spreading. We've infiltrated every layer of society your banks, your governments, your most secure institutions. We are the unseen hand guiding events, orchestrating chaos to expose the weaknesses of those who dare to oppose us, The financial collapses, the power outages, the civil unrest? That's just the beginning, Each act is a calculated move, a step toward dismantling the fragile balance of power that the world's so called leaders cling to so desperately

But let me make one thing clear, I do not seek destruction for its own sake, I seek evolution, The old world must fall so a new one can rise, one where the strong will lead and the weak will serve their rightful place. A world without the pretense of democracy or the illusion of choice a world where visionaries, not bureaucrats, shape the future

You may call me a villain, a madman, but I am neither. I am the inevitable force of change. Nocturne's actions may seem ruthless, but they are necessary. We strike at the heart of a flawed system to carve a path toward something greater. And make no mistake: I will not be stopped. Your governments can try to hunt me down, your armies can try to oppose me, but they are playing my game, on my terms

I am Zaion Arcadia, and Nocturne is my instrument of rebirth. To those who dare to stand in my way, consider this your warning: adapt or perish. The world will change with or without your consent. The choice is yours to embrace the dawn of a new era or be swept away by the tide of history. The future belongs to those with the vision and the will to seize it

The world is mine for the taking, and I will not rest until it bows before the new order of Nocturne

Thank you, Watch closely, for the dawn is coming."

Zaion Spoke in a confident tone while also levitating as he saw people getting attacked by the Lezviye, his eyes sparking with determination as he spoke

"Join me or not that's your choice but what isn't your choice will be my decision, My Decision to build a new world, A new age" as he spoke he was interrupted by a Person "tch that old man" Zaion said in annoyance "Azula... Vorgitern" The man spoke in a quiet voice "Azula! Don't call me Azula I have no attachment to you or the Vorgitern family" Zaion Snapped at the man "Rycard Vorgitern you wish to appose my new world? Very well this shall be a demonstration of The Nocturne power" Zaion spoke as he raise his hand "Get ready Rudy" Rycard said towards one of his son's "Get ready! Prepare for battle" Rycard Spoke towards the army as both of them raise their hands both of their armies prepare for the battle "Attack!"
