Biography[]
Season 2[]
In 305 AC, at southern region in the Gaianes Empire, she appeared in the distance and shouted please save her. She was dressed in extremely dirty clothes, wore already worn-out clothes. Her age was around 17-18? She was dragged down her leg, with her arrow stuck in her left thigh, caused her to bleed. Seton's eyes widened. Arin stood up with a smile on his face. Arin said oh, a person, great, let's ask her where they're. Seton scolded Arin that's not the problem here, he can't see she's asking them for help. She said please, and stumbled and fell before she could even approach Arin and the others. In the end, it seemed like all her strength had run out. Seton asked her was okay. Seton was the first to run to her and shouted Pete, please heal her. Arin's eyes sparkled. Arin said yeah, heal her so they can ask her for directions. Seton shouted why he was so fixated on directions. At that time, Yuna looked in the direction she had run towards with a stern expression. Yuna said why don't they ask them for directions. After wading through the rugged jungle, a group of soldiers ran towards them. A group of soldiers wore uniforms bearing the imperial emblem. One of them, who appeared to be the leader, shouted loudly that they should hand her over to them. Seton said he doesn't know who she's, but he can't overlook this situation. The leader of the soldiers frowned and said that's kid trying to act heroic. A soldier shouted this was none of his business, so, on his way. Seton shouted he can't overlook such injustice, why was a group of soldiers chasing after a frail young girl. The leader of the soldiers said their reasons were strictly confidential, it's not something they can tell him, but if he must get in their way, then they're left with no choice. The leader of the soldiers said he has brought this upon himself, so he doesn't blame them. The soldiers rushed towards Seton. Seton also quickly raises his sword. Yuna frowned. Yuna thought she doesn't like medding without knowing the whole story, but it's not like they should thrn a blind eye, she guessed she'll side with Seton for now. Yuna shouted Selenium. The flash magic produced a wave sound and targeted the soldiers. [3]
Yuna glared at him with cold eyes and scolded Seton that he should've been more careful about when to act heroic, he never know, she could actually be a criminal. Seton said first, let's hear what she has to say. Pete used healing magic on her. Pete sighed and said there, she should be walking up soon. As expected, Pete's healing skills were amazing. Just by concentrating for a moment, her serious wounds were completely healed. As they wiped away the clotted blood, her girlish appearance was clearly revealed. Seton asked cautiously that excuse him. She slowly opened her eyes and letted out a faint moan. She said oh, umm and sat down. She asked where she's. She had blonde hair that reached down to her waist, long eyelashes, slender limbs, white skin, and delicate features. Seton thought what a beauty, she looked even prettier than Arin. Seton said rest assured, she's in safe hands, no one will chase after her anymore. Seton reassured her, smiled as kindly as he could. She said this was the last place she expected to find help, she really appreciate it. Although her attitude seemed quite dignified, Yuna didn't seem to like it very much. Well, she was about to become a wanted person in the empire thanked to her, so it would be natural. Yuna said coldly that well, they're not exactly happy with how things thrned out. Yuna asked she doesn't know her story, but she did do something really bad for those men to be after her. Seton said Yuna, how could she said that. Seton asked instead, blamed Yuna that she could tell them what happened, oops, shere were his manners, let him introduce himself first, his name was Seton from the house of Sarasnein. She continued speaked slowly that oh, her name was Charlene Apacain Deresteina Carkileid, nice to meet them. Seton mouth opened wide and murmured Charle... what. Arin sighed and said her name was so long, how they're supposed to say all of that when they call her. Seton shouted he blockhead, watch what he said. She said to Arin that well, she was known as the Lord of the Empire's Southern Region only a few days ago, but he can call her Charlene. Arin smiled and said Charlene, short and sweet. Unlike Arin, Seton's face became pale as soon as she finished speaking. Seton asked Lord of the Empire's Southern Region, no way, was she Charlene, Queen of Sorcery and Lord of the Gaianes Empire's Southern Region, the most powerful mage in the empire. [4]
The Gaianes Empire... was a vast land many times bigger than the Six Nations Alliance of Heid, making it impossible to be ruled by one person. The Central Empire was ruled by the current emperor, while the rest was divided based on the cardinal points. Hence, the empire was, in reality, split into and ruled as five separate nations. The Lords who rule the other four regions were as follows... Brodale, King of Divinity of the Northern Empire... Zehid, King of Wisdom of the Eastern Empire... Largo, Warrior King of the Western Empire... and... Someone asked Charlene, Queen of Sorcery of the Southern Empire, wait... that's her. Yuna asked doubtfully that she doesn't believe it, why was an expert mage capable of eighth circle spells being chased by mere foot soldiers. She answered she knew how it sounds, it must be hard to believe, even she can't believe, what happened only two weeks ago. Capital city of the Southern Empire, Idelon. In a royal palace, in the queen's bedroom located on the top floor, a girl was lying on a bed. She was in a deep sleep. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, feeling an alien energy. She got up nervously. And she opened her mouth majestically. She asked was someone there. A rude intruder walked up. She was surprised and pulled the blanket. She shouted to someone that who, who they were. The intruder was wearing a dark hood, light purple clothing underneath the hood, and a necklace with a single light green bead around their neck. The intruder created a black light energy with one hand and spoke in a sonorous voice from one side of the dark bedroom that she was the Lord here. Unable to bear it anymore, she shouted loudly in a sharp tone that an intruder, how insolent, they dare attack her with magic knowing full well who she's, if they doesn't reveal themselves this instant, she'll burn every inch of them alive. She used the Flame Spear spell. The entire bedroom glowed red and a window of flame was created in the air. Even before it was shot out of the window, a cute short-haired girl with shiny black hair like ebony burst out laughing. The intruder used the Absolute Magic Seal spell. A huge mana energy gushed out from the short-haired girl. The spear of flame disappeared in an instant, and a vast amount of magical power swept over her. She was surprised and shouted huh, this was the ultimate eighth circle spell. The energy of black mana swirled around her entire body and began to rise. She shouted aaagh. She fell helplessly to the floor. She was astonished as she felt the mana of her entire body being sealed. She thought wait, the ultimate eight circle spell, that does mean, that the intruder has mastered eighth circle spells like her, but that's impossible. The intruder said hoho, now, her mana has been sealed, she doesn't worry, she's only doing this because being a Lord sounded like fun, she'll try it out and if she doesn't like it, she'll return the title to her. The intruder spoke while using magic. The short black hair grew long in an instant and began to turn golden. Her eyes trembled violently. The intruder said so she has fun outside, this place, belonged to her now. The unidentified girl became Charlene herself and smiled. Her own face looked at her with a mischievous expression. Seton asked to her that she was saying that the Queen of Sorcery at the royal palace, was actually a fake. She said that's right, after that, the fake chased her out of the palace, when she tried to return, she was mistaken for a spy and locked away in prison, she barely managed to escape and ended up being chased all the way out here. Yuna felt the situation was pathetic and thought it sounded fishy, she does really expect them to believe that, she has no evidence, and her story seemed far-fetched. Arin saw Aria and asked oh, Aria, where she was. Aria answered she was scouting the area for any remaining enemies, but she didn't saw any more soldiers. Arin said really, thank goodness. She was startled. There was a woman. Although she looked ordinary at first glance, there was something absolutely extraordinary about Aria. She looked horrified as she looked at the huge sword that Aria was holding. Her complexion gradually hardened as she continued to observe Aria. Seton, conscious of her gaze, asked her. As she spoke carefully to Seton, her goodness, who, who created such a thing. She spoke in a tone as if she were talking about an object rather than a person. Seton asked with a surprised and serious expression that her, she can tell that Aria was a chimera. Pete was surprised and shouted what, Aria was a chimera. She said to Pete that she can tell because physique and power has transcended that universal law, the previous Queen of Sorcery tried to study the Vessel of the Soul, having inherited some of her knowledge, she can also tell what he's. Aria walked up to her with a different look in her eyes, looked down at her in fear, and began to open her mouth that she'd like to hear the details... ...of what she said just now, the part about the Vessel of the Soul in particular. She said to Aria that she does... wish to become a human again, it's not like she knew a lot about the subject, the Vessel of the Soul was a secret ancient art used to create a new physical body, the previous Queen of Sorcery studied the Vessel of the Soul by using the secret art on herself, but she never ended up succeding... Aria still had no change in her expression. But Aria was little surprised to hear something. She said however... ...after that... ...the previous Queen of Sorcery got her human body back and remained human for the rest of her life. Aria was surprised. She said to Aria that the previous Queen of Sorcery's research on the Vessel of the Soul may have been unsuccessful, but she did know how to turn herself back into a human, she doesn't know how she did it, but she's sure there were remaining records somewhere in the royal palace... but with the situation she's in now, she can't help her, she's sorry. She bowed. Aria thought there's a way... ...for her to become human again. Arin said well, that's easy, if she can return home, that meant Aria can also return to being her original self, in that case, let's help her. Everyone was surprised and shouted whaaat. [2]
She wore an old cloak and shoes and said she can't thank them enough, they've helped her a lot, but she hasn't been able to do anything in return. She bowed her head and said she'll make sure to compensate them well once she get her powers back. Pete said everyone, they will really traveling to the Southern palace, it would be better to reach the Imperial Capital as soon as possible, they don't have enough to intervene in such matters... Seton said that's true... but it's not like they can ignore her predicament. Yuna said if she's indeed the Southern Empire's Queen of Sorcery, then they have nothing to lose by helping her, but most importantly... ...Aria wanted to accompany her, that left them with no choice. Night watch. Accommodations through various spells. Food acquisition. Pete cleared his throat and said came to thought of it, if she regains her status as the Queen of Sorcery, they'll be able to get to the Imperial City more easily, though it seemed like a detour, it's actually a shortcut... Arin pointed to Pete and asked to Seton that's what he call wishy-washy. Yuna thought she was able to recognize Aria's true nature... which proved that she's the Queen of Sorcery, Gaster, the greatest genius of all time... is a mage who mastered Nineth Circle spells which were thought to be impossible for humans to learn, even a prodigy like him only mastered Eighth Circle spells when he was nearly 40, however, the Queen of Sorcery, Lord of the Southern Empire, mastered Eighth Circle spells in her teens, that was only possible because the succession process allowed her to inherit the previous Queen's wisdom and magic power... the Queen of Sorcery said that the mage who attacked her looked fairly young, but... it's possible for such a young mage to subdue another mage capable of Eighth Circle spells, she can't wrap her head around it... Yuna was surprised and thought wait, it could be... Yuna saw Arin. Yuna thought ...that the mage is not human. [5]
She said legend has it that the ancient titans created the Vessel of the Soul, it was the secret art they used to create bodies for themselves so they could break free from the obligations that bound them. Yuna asked what, the Almighty Creature, but she heard that this is actually a Super Dragon, the leader of all dragons, that doesn't contradict the theory that it was created to kill the dragons. She said umm... perhaps the legend varies by region, a Super Dragon. Yuna asked hmm, so which legend should they believe in. Arin saw this and said how boring, he can't even understand what they're talking about. Seton said he heared him... they can't even join in. Seton saw something and said look, a village. Seton said he can't believe how relieved they were... even though the six of them have to share a room since the rest were occupied. Yuna said that's because they've been sleeping out in the open for more than two weeks. Aria said first things first... ...take off their clothes, everyone. Aria, wearing an apron, did the laundry. She, who was watching this scene with Pete pulled herself out of the window frame, said oh... Aria was talking about laundry, that remined her, she said she used to live at a farm. Pete said the apron looked surprisingly good on Aria, it looked even better than the monstrous sword she swinged... The great sword soon became hot, emitting pure white steam, and Aria raised the sword and slowly began to iron the clothes. Someone asked whoa, what Aria is doing. Aria answered she's ironing the clothes. [6]
After leaving the rural village in the Southern Region of the Gaianes Empire, Arin and his party met bandits at the Mount Madain pass leading to the central region of Southern Gaianes. Suddenly, rugged men appeared on both sides of the mountain path and started yelled hehehe, they'll have to get through them first if they want to pass, they should give them everything they have and they'll spare their lives. Someone said they did take a crash course on how to be a bandit. Another person said ...their appearance and speech... were the textbook example of bandits. Arin said oh, that's what they were, bandits, he read about them in a book, they look like orangutans in real life. Yuna said well, they might have a similar level of intelligence. The bandits were angry and shouted what, why they... ...they little rats don't know what's coming for ya. She was surprised and shouted e-everyone, they should watch out. Aria's great sword cut through the wind and created a trail in the air. The bandits were hit squarely on the side of the sword and screamed. She said huh. The bandits shouted eek... ...a monster... The bandits lost their minds and began to run away and shouted ...spare them, crap, this is bad, they should run for their lives, everyone. Seton said oh, how come Aria let them get away without shedding a single drop of blood. Pete said Aria did go easy on them because they're humans, that's a first... Yuna said thanked, Aria. At this time, Yuna was surprised and said huh, Aria... ...she's bleeding... Red blood trickled down Aria's skin from her nose. Aria wiped her nosebleed with her hand and thought oh no... ...perhaps she shouldn't have resisted. Aria said she's fine, let's go, they should find a place to sleep before sunset. Beyond the hill, they saw an old two-story wooden building that was falling apart. Seton said they're in luck, to think they'd come across an abandoned house here. Yuna said she knew, right, she was afraid they might have to camp out again. Suddenly, something took off inside the room, and a scream rang out along with the sound of flapping wings echoing in all directions. She clung to Seton's arm and trembled and shouted eek. Seton said she d-doesn't worry, it's just a bat. She said that's what a bat is, she has never seen one before, she's sorry, she had a scare... Seton said haha, it's all good. Yuna frowned as she watched it. [7]
Yuna said goodness, she must've led a sheltered life if this is her first time seeing a bat. [7]
Arin said it's okay, she's a Queen, right, Queens lead the most sheltered lives among humans. She said she's sorry... There was a decaying wooden sign on the floor. There was also an inscription written in the continent's official language: INN. Someone said it looked like this place used to be an inn, how come it's abandoned now. Pete said what if... it was all because of the bandits earlier. Seton thought those lousy punks. Pete said they were far more notorious than they should've ben, there might be a much stronger gang of bandits out there, well, either way, they can rest easy as long as Aria is here. Seton said true... Smoke rose from the chimney. Arin said food. She asked e-excuse her, there's anything she can do to help out. A sour retort flowed from Yuna's mouth that uh... ...she should follow Seton and wash the dishes. She responded with a determined expression and a solemn voice that yes, Yuna should leave it to her, she has never washed the dishes before, but she'll give it her all. Yuna said she doesn't have to give her all just to wash the dishes. In a shallow stream with clear water flowing, Seton asked so, she has never washed the dishes before. She answered no... Seton said he supposed she has never had to roll up her sleeves, being a Queen and all. After hesitating, she answered politely that oh, she has rolled up her sleeves before, when she washed her face. Seton said that's... not what he meant. She said ever since she left the palace, she even washed herself. Seton was surprised and said wait, so she literally never rolled up her sleeves at the palace. She asked by the way, when they ran into the bandits earlier... he would say Aria was acting strangely during the fight, she thought she fought them off normally, but everyone seemed shocked... Seton answered it's because Aria's battles always end in bloodshed, she's been attacking humans like they were monsters, never holding herself back, so the fact that she did today was strange... She thought about something and muttered quietly that ...Aria stopped killing humans all of a sudden. Someone thought come to think of it, Aria started bleeding even though she wasn't injured, that does have something to do with it. It was then. Suddenly, Seton lowered his head and gave a fierce look and said, she should get behind him. She asked pardon. She was surprised. Ten rugged men walked out. The biggest one among them, a man in his 30s, asked to the other that he's saying that small fry beat him up, how pathetic. The scraggly-haired man standing next to the brute, shouted he has got it wrong, Boss, that's not the monster who beat them to a plup. The Boss said to Seton that geez... what a convenient excuse, kid, if he doesn't want to get hurt... ...he should let them to the rest of his group. Seton said no, he has no reason to listen to a mere bandit. The Boss said to Seton that a mere bandit, he got a smart mouth, brat. The Boss took out his sword as if he was dumbfounded. A frightened she cowered and said, S-Seton... Seton said she doesn't worry, he will not lose. Seton thought despite his reassurance, the Boss is no easy foe, he's definitely much better than the bandits they met earlier, but he, too, was growing stronger, he thought he can win. Seton took a fighting stance, holding his sword tightly. The Boss roared to Seton that they should get him. [7]
The boss shouted to the bandits that they should get the girl. She was surprised. The boss shouted he won't be able to fight back if they take her hostage. Seton was surprised and thought oh, no, he moved too far away from her. Seton shouted that Charlene. Two bandits approached her. A bandit who approached her was hit in the leg by a flying sword and fell. The bandit shouted that agh, h-his leg. She was surprised. Seton said oops... ...he didn't meant to throw his sword. The boss shouted to the bandits that that this is their chance, they should beat him to a plup. Seton immediately grabbed the sword hilt of Blairs Taina and pulled it out. The sight before his eyes turned red, and a explosive flame spread red drapes in all directions. The explosive flame created a huge whirlwind and covered the remaining bandits. Seton opened his mouth in shock while holding Blairs Taina and thought cough, it's so powerful... even though all he did was swing it. She said it could be... ...the legendary magic sword... ...Blairs Taina. Pete asked what's going on. Yuna sighed and they'd better ask her later. A rustle in one of the bushes brought Seton's voice that they all were fighting too, huh. They shouted Seton. Seton came carrying a blonde girl. Pete asked she's hurt. Seton answered no, she passed out after seeing a dead body. Someone asked why, the corpse did beat her. Yuna grumbled. Someone said of course not, Arin. [8]
Capital city of the Southern Empire, Idelon. She who wearing a hood, said that's the heart of the Gaianes Empire's magic... ...The Tower of Razel, it took more than two centuries to build that tower. Yuna looked curious and said the heart of magic... ...how big of a scale were they talking about here. She answered there were at least a thousand mages residing inside... and about so master-level mages. Yuna's mouth drops open and thought a thousand, there were less than 200 mages in all of Libeid. Arin said to her that oh, a new outfit, lucky her. She smiled and said she has to keep her identity hidden... Pete said haha... that's enough mages to take down a dragon. What Pete said jokingly made she start to think seriously, so she said a dragon, she's not sure about that, magical defense can block out some of the nineth circle spells, but against a dragon... Pete thought uh, he was just joking... She said ...well, it'll still be difficult for humans to take down a dragon, after all, dragons were divine beings... with supreme authority. Aria and Yuna glanced at Arin at her evaluation and thought divine beings... with supreme authority. Seton was puzzled by the two people's reactions and thought huh, those two did ...look at Arin just now, what did she said has something to do with him, they make it look like... Seton's complexion hardened slightly. ...Arin is... Arin smiled brightly and warmly and said what a huge city, he can't wait to explore it, right, Seton. Seton gave up his thoughts and thought good grief, what he was thinking, there's no way... At night, someone said yay, the moon was up. Seton angry and shouted this city was way bigger than he thought, it took them half a day just to find this temple. Except for Aria, the rest were breathing heavily. Arin held his stomach because he was hungry and said to her that he told her they should've gone to a restaurant. She said but they don't have any money left, they have no choice but to depend on Brother Pete. Pete knocked a door and said yes, leave it to him, this temple was a part of the Harnian Order, so he should be able to ask them for support. Pete knocked a door said hello, anyone was there. Pete was surprised and Yuna said to Seton that looked like they arrived too late, huh. Seton said that's too bad, he guessed they'll have to sleep under the eaves tonight... Pete knocked loudly on the door and shouted h-hello, anyone was inside, he's a priest of Harnian. Eventually, the temple door opened wide and a priest came out and shouted how dared to made so much noise in this holy place at this hour. The priest saw Pete and said huh. The priest was surprised and shouted t-that was him, Brother Pete, h-he must be honored to see him here. Pete asked to the priest that he doesn't mean the other way around. The priest shouted to Pete that he could f-forgive him, they could come in. The food was prepared. Arin held a fork and knife and drooled. The priest said please they should eat to their hearts' content, they should feel free to call him over if they need anything else... Seton asked Brother Pete... he does has a high position within the order, he didn't expect to eat such gourmet food at this hour... Pete answered no, he can explain... he was also puzzled by the dramatic welcome, so he asked why, it turned out, they thought he had died in the shipwreck. In the past, one priest held Pete's shoulder and said Brother Pete was alive. The other priest said bless Harnian. Pete said they thought he came back from the dead, which explained their hospitality, also... ...they've already been informed about the Almighty Creature's Seal. Seton was surprised and shouted what. Seton shouted to Pete that how, it wasn't his job to tell them. Arin ate gourmet food by dip it with a fork. Pete said appparently, other messengers got here first, it was the temple's order of knights... the ones who had been shipwrecked with them, even though their ship went under... ...fortunately, the holy knights survived, but when they didn't find him anywhere, they thought that he had drowned to death, so they resolved to carry out his mission in his stead... ...after days of marching nonstop... ...they arrived at the great temple to inform them about the Almighty Creature's Seal. Seton felt flatten and said they marched all the way to the capital of the empire. Yuna muttered with a blank face that what amazing grit. Pete said horrified by the story, the great temple immediately sent people over... ...so they could figure out what happened in the Six Nations Alliance of Heid and report to the emperor, to stop the emperor's greed, Heid, the great mage, ran off with the two seals, Parousia and Liegis, then out of the six heroes he trained, he gave Parousia to Kezar Libeid, the most powerful sword master... ...and entrusted Liegis to Rayden Lastanien, the most powerful mage, later, Liegis was put away somewhere deep inside the royal palace of Lastanien... ...and Parousia was passed down to the king's third daughter, Princess Rosaline, after the princess's passing, the seal was discovered at the Shihad Academy. Pete said here's the issue, though, following their investigation... Pete shouted ...the temple has discovered that the two seals have gone missing, worse, they were stolen not by Karsel but by some mysterious organization, Karsel was not the only one trying to revive the Almighty Creature. Yuna said angrily that what a disaster, well, there's nothing they can do abouth that, right, she's sure the higher-ups will figure out how to stop world destruction, anyway, that put them in a weird spot, there was no point in coming here... ...at least they have other goals to pursue... ...but he must be in a fix, Pete. Pete said yeah... even though he couldn't fulfill his months long mission due to a natural disaster... ...the fact he accomplished nothing certainly won't reflect well on him, he'll probably be assigned menial chores for a while once he return to the temple. Seton was silent. Pete smiled and said in any case, his job here was done, so he will be heading back to Sarbazan sooner than expected, he hoped them achieve all their goals, everyone. She asked Brother Pete, he could stay here a little longer, once she regain her royal authority, he'll be rewarded for saving the Queen of Sorcery, if, with her help, the order of Harnian can increased its presence in the southern empire... She was stood up. She said ...not only Pete will be off the hook, but he'll also be able to aim for more highter positions, in other words... ...she need his help, Brother Pete, please he help her take back the throne. [9]
There was a moment of silence and then Pete spoke the issue was more complicated than it seemed, he shouldn't be making decisions without the temple's approval... ...plus, he's still not fully convinced that she's the Queen of Sorcery. She was surprised. Yuna said she's not convinced, either, but she knew enough magic to be a top-ranking mage, it wouldn't be strange at all if she really was the Queen of Sorcery. Seton said he knew nothing about magic... ...but he's sure she's royalty, she made the kinds of mistakes that a sheltered princess would make when she left the palace. Seton's mom was a princess. Seton said if she's indeed the Queen of Sorcery, helping her would undoubtedly make up for faling Pete's mission, ultimately, he'll be serving the temple, so it would be okay. Thanked to this, Pete became more determined. Pete said he understand, it'll take another few months to return anyway, since he's here... ...he'll let the temple knew that he'd like to broaden his horizons by exploring the empire, he's sure they'll be fine with that. Smiling brightly, she expressed her gratitude and said great idea, thanked him, Brother Pete. The group sat around a small table, and there were several sheets of paper on it, filled with drawings of all kinds of buildings. She said there, she's done. Arin slept in the next bed. She said here's the interior of the palace she drew... based on her memories. Someone asked incredible, how she did manage to remember all this... She answered she was born and raised there, so she should knew the ins and outs of her home. Seton thought his mansion was way smaller than that, and he still got lost... Seton examining the map and asked by the way... this was the classified information, the map showed all the secret passages inside the tower, the locations of the mages' labs... ...where the magical artifacts were kept, the magical traps, and even where all the guards were located. Pete said simply possessing this information will get them arested, it'll be terrible if even a single page of this map leaked out... She said to Pete that please burn all the pages once he has memorized the layout, she wouldn't want to reveal the location of her bedroom... Yuna's eyes sparkled and said this was top-tier information, she bet she can sell it for 2,500 Gold to a Guild of Thieves... no, maybe even 2,800 Gold. Someone thought Yuna is joking... right. Someone said the fact that she can draw such a detailed layout... proved that she's indeed the Queen of Sorcery. Seton said pardon him for his rudeness until now, Her Majesty. She was surprised and said th-there's no need to apologize, she hasn't been able to regain her position as the Queen yet, moreover, they all saved her life, so please they should treat her as an ordinary girl rather than a Queen. She thought especially him, Seton... Yuna said in that case, they won't change how they address her... now that they have this map, they won't get lost inside... ...but what they should do once they sneak in. She said they'll need a master-level mage... to break the Absolute Magic Seal that's been cast on her, however, convincing a master-level mage that she's the Queen of Sorcery won't be easy. Pete asked but she weren't the only mage who's mastered Eighth Circle spells, what if she demonstrate her knowledge of magic, like she did to them... She said it won't be convincing enough, the fake has also mastered Eighth Circle spells like her, she doesn't know any more than she does, which left room for doubt, due to her position, she has never been personally close with any master-level mages, so none of them will recognize her, that's why she'll need... ...the Tanin's Scepter, activating this... requires a secret art passed down only to the Queens of Sorcery, she can activate it even without her magic, it'd be best if she can convince them by using the scepter, but if she can't... at least she'll give her a chance to explain her situation, she believe this was their best bet at the moment. Aria said if her goal if to remove the spell... ...instead of going around the problem... ...why they don't take down the fake. Yuna was embarassed and shouted how that is even possible, Fakelene＊ is also a mage of Eighth Circle, it'll be challenging regardless of how strong she's, Aria. ＊Fakelene=Fake Charlene. She said killing the fake won't remove the seal... since the spell doesn't require a continuous stream of mana... Someone asked so, where the Tanin's Scepter is. She answered it's her room, it's kept securely inside a safe. Seton asked what if they disguise themselves as a servant or a maid. She answered it won't work, they have to go through a rigorous examination of their identity spanning three generations to be hired as a servant there, security is tight since a lot of confidential information about magic is kept inside. Yuna asked that may be true for the Tower of Razel, but what about the outer bailey of the castle. She was surprised and thought for a moment and relaxed her voice a little that the examination is certainly less rigorous there, still they do check their acquaintances, so they'll need someone who can vouch for their identities. Pete said oh, what if they get the temple to vouch for them, that would work. Seton said but the temple would become suspicious of them, why they would suddenly go from being adventurers to attendants... Pete said maybe they can explain her situation and ask for their cooperation in advance... Yuna said they're not sure if the temple will believe them, plus, they have no idea how many more people are involved in this incident, it's possible that Fakelene has connections inside the temple too, in fact, they might end up giving themselves away to the fake. Pete was awkwarded. Someone asked then there's even a way they can get in. Yuna made a disapproving expression and said she thought... ...they have no coice but to create a fake who can vouch for them. Arin woke up and said huh. On a street, a market area on the outskirts of Idelon City, a cold-looking woman and a long-red haired girl in a dress were walking around the bustling street. A man said what a looker. A woman said she's a nobleman's daughter. Seton who was looking at the two people from afar, asked it does look good on Arin... but this will really work. Yuna said well, she can't say... ...but they might as well give it a try, Arin looked like a beautiful, naive lady wandering around without a single guard nearby, he's practically dripping with gold. It was right then. A boy in shabby clothes sneaks up to Arin and Aria, who were walking far away, and bumped into her body, said oops, his bad. Seton was surprised and Yuna said yes, they got one, a pickpocket. The pickpocket snatched leather purse tied to Aria's waist, then ran away. Seton shouted h-he's getting away. Yuna said relax, Seton, she told Aria not to go after them, catching that kid isn't their goal, he's just going to hand over his catch to the middleman, they won't get any good information out of him even if they try, but money always finded a way to the person at the top, right, she cast a Tracking Spell on the silver conis inside the purse, so all they have to do is take their time and follow the coins. Seton was surprised and said she's amazing, Yuna... Yuna said the silver coins will guide them... ...to a place that will help them creat their fake identities, the Guild of Thieves. [10]
Season 3[]
Elyne stretched out his estoc, the sharp sword strike was aimed precisely at Aria's uvula. She shouted Aria. Thanked to the cooperation of the Guild of Thieves, Arin and his friends were able to infiltrate the outer bailey by disguising themselves as maids. Their next step was to sneak into the inner bailey and steal the Tanin's Scepter with Brother Pete's help. There had been a slight change of plans, though, because they could only disguise themselves as... ...maids. There were no other open spots left in the castle. In the past, Yuna said their mission requires at least two members, she can't disguise herself, so why don't Aria and she-- Aria said she's not going anywhere without Arin. Yuna appeared and said Seton... he will be alone with her... while they infiltrate the castle. [11]
There was a hint of playfulness in Yuna's voice. Yuna said ...Seton must be happy, she meant, she's so pretty. A quiet yet charming voice that was different from usual. Seton responded in confusion that uh... ...it's true she's beautiful. Yuna said she's the strongest mage in the empire... plus, she's kind and gentle... ...she's a good match for the prince of Libeid. Seton made a straight face and said Yuna, she... In contrast to the smile on Yuna's lips, she was shaking as if she was about to shed tears at any moment. Seton said ...it doesn't matter how kind and beautiful the empire's strongest mage may be... or if Yuna have a shameful past she wish to keep hidden... ...none of that matters to him. Seton's hand roughly grabbed Yuna. Seton blushed and said he... Yuna also blushed. A warm touch touches Seton's lips. Under the bright moonlight, the shadows of the two people overlapped each other, cast a long line between the balconies, and began to slowly tilt. [11]
Yuna thought it's been a week since they arrived, based on the information they've gathered so far, her map perfectly matches the actual layout of the castle. [12]
Pete reflected on the information he had received so far. First of all, information about the fake queen that she secretly asked the maids passing by. The maids said her Majesty the Queen used to be so reserved, why she did suddenly become so cheerful, she's having mood swings due to puberty. Another maid said that's really so strange, what matters that's her Majesty the Queen is still a mage of the Eighth Circle. Pete thought the date when rumors began to circulate inside the castle matcheds what her said, he's fully convinced now, she's indeed the Queen of Sorcery. Pete had a smile on his face. Pete thought if everything goes well, he might be going places... hehe. The Four Sorcerers... ...consist of four mages of the Eighth Circle who assist her, the Queen of Sorcery, with the exception of her, no other mage in the empire cam rival their power, of them, Raedi Yel Gastria, the Brown Witch......is the empire's second most powerful mage. [13]
Pete thought ...let's think this through again, why Raedi Yel Gastria did visit him, if she found out about the infiltration, why she did leave him be, if Raedi knew that she sent him here, that meant she also knew that the current Queen of Sorcery is a fake, that does mean the Four Sorcerers are siding with the imposter, but why, it could be a secret battle for power, they're working with the imposter to oust the Queen of Sorcery, the empire's most powerful mage, but if the fake also mastered up the Eighth Circle spells, then there's no point, unless... ...the Fake Queen of Sorcery is actually an ordinary girl... ...and the Four Sorcerers are the ones pulling the strings from behind. ＊Not true. Pete shouted that must be it... the Four Sorcerers are definitely powerful enough to subdue a Master of Eighth Circle spells, then Raedi did call him over... to find where she's. ＊Pete is getting ahead of himself. Pete shouted what he should does. Yuna thought huh... nothing happened. Yuna asked she did tell them the wrong information, no, it can't be... maybe the magical item is broken. Aria answered she doesn't know much about magic... ...but it could be because... Arin is a dragon, a creature different from them. Yuna said perhaps he got into a mess he can't get out of... ...or worst-case scenario, his true identity has been discovered and he's been captured. Aria said Yuna will proceed with the plan. Yuna said regardless of what happened to Pete... ...they're all traitors now, there's no turning back, they must help her regain her position to clear their names, in the end, they're left with only one choice. [14]
Tower of Razel, fourth floor, the floor of ice and snow hallway. Someone thought she said the secret passage is only known to the queen, no one else knew. Yuna sighed and thought indeed, even the Four Sorcerers didn't seem to know about this passage, that meant they can still use the other secret passages, they still have a chance. [15]
Seton swung his sword. Seton sighed. She asked Seton is training again, it must be tiring, he should take a break. Seton answered he felt too restless to do noting, his friends are risking their lives infiltrating the dangerous tower... ...yet all he can do is wait... ...but he's sure... everyone will succeed and come back safety. [16]
Pete said ...and so, according to her... ...Aria's physical body was modified into the Vessel of the Soul, a forbidden sorcery used to create dragons... Someone asked what. Karstein asked Pete should stop right there, what was that about the Vessel of the Soul. Pete said ah, yes, the Vessel of the Soul is a forbidden sorcery used to create dragons... Karstein smirked. Karstein suddenly burst into laughter that hahaha, the Vessel of the Soul is a forbidden sorcery used to create dragons. Pete asked huh... Rosarahim shouted wahaha, humans have such silly misunderstandings. Archiad said the story has been told by those with short lifespans, it could easily be relayed inaccurately. Pete asked excuse him... ...pardon him for asking, but this does mean the Vessel of the Soul is not the forbidden sorcery that created dragons. Karstein asked human child, the one called Aria does... ...have any features related to dragons. Pete was surprised. Pete thought Karstein have a point, he had no doubt since it was her who told him... ...this is... ...an opportunity. Pete said o venerable beings of eternal existence... ...they mortals have yet to recieve the full truth, Karstein would graciously impart his wisdom... to this young and humble soul. Pete knelt down. Karstein asked where a kid did like him learn to speak like an old fart. Karstein looked back and spoke with a soft smile on his lips that well, this is a good opportunity, he two should also come and listen, it's something every hatchling has to learn eventually, they should come Arin, Eorin. Karstein said well, then, he shall start the story from the very beginning. Karstein said that was how humankind came to be. Pete thought it aligned with her story to an extent, however... Pete asked Karstein is saying that the gods they worshipped and placed their faith in... were nothing more than cogs in the wheel that is the world, furthermore... ...this does meant that they humans... ...were genegades that go against the nature of this world. Karstein answered well, that's how the so-called gods defined him... ...and they're not entirely wrong, whether it's dragons, humans... ...or any other intelligent beings, they all have the potential to disrupt the world, but rather than existing perpetually as cogs in a wheel following established rules... ...it's not better to enjoy freedom while waiting for obliteration, that's not the meaning of life. [17]
Arin replied as if Karstein was being ridiculous that but she said it's possible, she said there have been cases where they successfully reverted to being human. Karstein said her. Rosarahim opened her mouth quickly that she's the human who used to rule this land, Lord Karstein, considering that she's a mage of the Eighth Circle, it's not completely unfounded. Karstein thought about something and said hmm. Then Karstein said with a curious expression that interesting, perhaps he'll hold back on returning home, he'll go find this so-called her... Karstein said ...wait... she's the ruler, then she must have lived in the castle. A dejected voice leaked out of Karstein's mouth that she's still alive... Karstein saw a scene of terrible destruction. Eorin said she's alive, Elder Karstein, the spell she cast hasn't been undone yet, when she first arrived, she cast an Absolute Magic Seal on her. Karstein shouted Eorin should stop speaking in riddles. She opened her eyes while lying collapsed in the residential area of Idelon. She saw Seton lying on top of her in pain. She shouted Seton. Seton said ugh... ...thank goodness she's awake... She shouted Seton, wh-what happened. They were in the crevices of rocks and rocks blocking the view on all sides. She shouted they were at the lodging just now... In the past, she looked at the Tower of Razel through the window. Suddenly, a light appeared from the tower and the lodging began to collapse. Seton said they seemed to have been crushed under debris following the explosion, since they can't move, they should wait for the rescue team to arrive... She shouted but Seton is seriously injured, she's sorry, it's all because of her... Seton said it's okay... this is his duty... ...as a knight and as a man... She sobbed. She said Seton should forgive her... Seton said ...he should be the one apoligizing... pardon his lack of manners, her Majesty... Seton grinned. She thought lack of manners... ...far from it... At this point the debris began to vibrate. Seton shouted i-it's collapsing. She said no, this energy... ...it's magic. Gravity reversed and the debris slowly drifted into thin air. Giant stone sculptures floated into the air. She shouted it's an Antigravity spell, but it's so powerful... ...it could be archmage Gaster. Seton's body rose. Her body also floated into the air. [18]
Seton clenched his teeth and left the room. She saw this and said Seton... She asked what's wrong, Seton. Seton looked back, puzzled. Seton said her. Seton asked it's okay for her to be outside, he heard the dragons wanted to talk with her... She answered oh... ...for the first time in 300 years, they felt lethargic after the meal, so they decided to take a nap... they said they would talk tomorrow instread. Seton asked her... Suddenly she turned her head. She looking at the ruins of Idelon, which were particularly visible under the dark night sky and muttered weakly that ...looking back... ...she's remined of how cruel the dragons were... ...and yet, they can't voice a single complaint, their power is formidable, while they humans were too feeble to make demands. She said she hoped the dragons repay kindness and punish only those who wrong them, and that they feel at least an ounce of guilt for what they have done, she hoped that they do not view them as less than insects... ...not that it would help the dead rest in peace... Seton said her... She said ...this isn't what she wanted to talk about... She smiled and said ...thanked him for saving her... ...Seton. Seton smiled awkwardly and said with all due respect... ...anyone would have done the same in that situation. She asked Seton... ...why he doesn't stay in the empire... ...here by her side. Seton asked pardon, this is so sudden... She hung her head low, her face flushed like a beet. She shouted n-never mind, good night and ran hurriedly into the mansion. Seton, left alone, looked at her empty seat and asked ...huh. Yuna, who hid in the wall of the house across the street, said bummer, a love triangle, how cliche... [19]
The next morning, with everyone gathered together, she opened her mouth. She said to Karstein that what she knew is only a fragment of the truth, detailed records were kept inside the Tower of Razel, but with the tower collaped... ...he'll have to go to the capital to find identical records. Karstein replied then they'll go to the capital. She thought Karstein made it sound like the long distance is no big deal. Karstein spoke to her in a calm tone that but first, they'll have breakfast, she should go ahead and tell them what she knew while the meal is being prepared. After coughing, she said yes, here is what she knew... She began to explain seriously that ...the forbidden sorcery used to create a dragon... ...that is, the The unbreakable Vessel of the Soul... is not generally known among humans. Karstein struck her before she could even finish her explanation, ruining the mood she had worked so hard to create that far from it, in fact, it's not even accurate, the forbidden sorcery is used to create the Almighty Creature, not a dragon, she should continue. She thought Karstein did just say something incredibly important in passing. She said s-she saw. She said the first person who discovered the forbidden sorcery... ...was a former Queen of Sorcery. She said the Tower of Razel was set up as the magical headquarters of the Gaianes Empire 300 years ago, it was an effort to organize the fragments of magical knowledge and ancient heritages scattered throughout the continent, as well as to conduct more efficient and systematic research on magic, thanked to the imperial authority, magical heritages around the continent gathered in the tower, it marked the peak of magical prosperity. Kiadrys said no wonder there has been an increasing number of humans who have mastered Seventh and Eighth Circle spells, that explained it. She said however, the amount of information was too vast for them humans to process, new information was pouring in before old ones were organized. Her complexion hardened to the point where it was truly pitiful to look at. She said well, that was the case until yesterday... Karsenian said oh, so that's the place that collapsed as they were trying to catch Arin. Karstein said he felt a bit sorry. They thought sorry. The mouths of the surprised audience fell open. Kiadrys shouted how long it has been since a member of the Red Clan has ever said sorry, a few millennia, perhaps. Rosarahim said he's also a member of the Red Clan, King Kiadrys. Kiadrys said the fact that he's shocked made him the Red Dragon King. Karstein said to her with a serious expression that very well, since their clan has destroyed her city, he'll rebuild it for her. Karstein asked Rosarahim, she's acquainted with any of the dwarves nearby. Rosarahim answered yes, because she has indulged in a dream up until recently... Karstein said great, then let them continue. The humans thought what past of this is great, Karstein is just shifting the work to the dwarves, poor them... She said as she said, a vast amount information was flooding into the tower, the mages soon realized that collecting information wasn't everything, so, they began systematically organizing the information they had, in that process, the former Queen of Sorcery discovered bundles of parchment, written inside the parchment was the forbidden sorcery, that is, the spell to create the Vessel of the Soul, they have no idea how such forbidden sorcery ended up in the tower, it was probably Lahagas el Gaianes, the first Dragon Slayer... who took down Clyton the Yellow Dragon-- Before she could say anything, she felt like she was going to die. She thought o-oops, she shouldn't have mentioned a Dragon Slayer in front of the dragons. Someone asked Clyton, who's that, he does knew, Lord Karstein. Karstein answered Clyton was a member of the Gold Clan and was about a thousand years younger than him. Pete said yeah, they don't mind. Kiadrys said he also heard that the human who killed Clyton became the emperor. She said i-in any case, the former Queen of Sorcery began studying that forbidden sorcery, she speculated that the Vessel of the Soul might be an incomplete spell, given that the outcome was so different from the nature of dragons, she then tried to transform herself into the Vessel of the Soul... and failed, after all, a true Vessel of the Soul is not built from a human body... ...a human soul was much too weak to contain the Vessel of the Soul, only creatures with massive divine bodies transcending humanity could bear the Vessel of the Soul, one such example is dragons, this was probably the reason she assumed that the forbidden sorcery was used to creat a dragon, the result of fusing all kinds of creatures... to enhance the human soul and mold it into the vessel... ...is Aria, however, as the divine body grew stronger, the existing soul will lose its place... ...eventually, she'll lose her identity, left with only an instinct to destroy. Karsenian said knowing all that, humans still believed that the forbidden sorcery was used to create dragons, they don't have an instinct to destroy. Karsenian said she didn't destroy that because she wanted to, it would've been intact had Arin not run away. Karstein said in fact, the dragons have a strong instinct for treasuring what they have. She said oh, she saw... ...the former Queen could not enhance her soul, after all, what was the point of successfully creating a Vessel of the Soul if she lost her identity in the process, she could have created a new body tailored to the human soul intact, but unless it was her body, her identity would have been destroyed regardless... ...it is impossible for a human to contain the Vessel of the Soul, that was the conclusion she reached, in the end, she gave up on the Vessel of the Soul and died as a human, she doesn't know the details of how she returned to being a human, but there is something she heard, of the four jewels that were used to seal the Almighty Creature, the two seals remaining in the empire... ...were used to return her to her human form, she has told Karstein everything she knew. Karstein said the last part was the only thing he was really curious about. Kiadrys said still, it isn't fun, it's fascinating to see how things appear from a human's perspective. Yuna said if what she said is true... Yuna asked ...why Aria is still okay, according to Charlene's explanation, her body should have broken down long ago. She answered previously, she wouldn't have a clue either, but now, she has an inkling... ...and it is... Her index finger moved to Arin and asked ...him, he can take a guess, he was always nearest to Aria, and he turned out to be a dragon, she get the feeling that she could maintain the Vessel of the Soul because she had a dragon's mana by her side. Karstein let out a gloomy voice that wrong, that would be impossible, even for a dragon. She asked pardon. She was surprised. Karstein was still muttering to himself in a gloomy tone that crap... ...he remembered something unpleasant. Suddenly, Arin clapped his hands and said oh, he get it, that does mean his blood is helping Aria. Kiadrys asked that's all Arin have been thinking. Arin answered yep, what about it. Karstein said with relief in his voice that right, this is the Arin they know, they can relax for now. Karstein said indeed... Arin said since back when they first met, he has been wondering why Aria, who was on the brink of death, suddenly because all right, it must have been that time when a meteor hit him... and caused his mouth to bleed. The dragons started asking questions at the same time that what Arin did just say... ...a meteor hit him... ...and caused him to bleed. [20]
Karstein was so angry that he opened his mouth in a calm voice that representative of their clan... ...he'll execute their family law, any objections. She thought what intense, dreadful mana, but the dragons didn't even flinch when she mentioned another dragon that died... [21]
There was no answer from humans because they had collapsed and Karstein asked huh... ...they're all asleep. Rosarahim said she thought the humans passed out, he still have the residue of Dragon Command all over him, Elder Karstein. People woke up later, and she said there's nothing more she can tell Karstein, he can refer to the records for more information... ...however, information on how to transform back into a human... ...is probably only recorded in Shahar, the imperial capital. Karstein said all right, they'll set off for the imperial capital now, human, she should open a portal. She said his greatness the ancient dragon... they humans cannot travel such long distances via a portal. Karstein was surprised and said to her that she doesn't even know the coordinates for it. Karsenian looked up with a smile and shouted there's a city of hot springs near the Red Mountains, let's stop by there. Karstein said oh, hot springs, good idea. Humans thought what the dragons say, goes... ...right. Arin said but he wanted to go to the capital first. They flew through the sky on the back of griffins. Seton was pale, she was smiling happily and calmly even from high above, and Yuna was glaring at her with poisonous eyes. Pete thought things look chaotic over there... he'll just leave them be... Arin read the description on the placard that it said Aur that they have hot springs, herbal baths, steam baths, mineral springs, and more, and it's good for their skin, so it's especially popular among the noblewomen. Some of the women in the group had sparkling eyes. She shouted skin care, wow. She opened her mouth as if she was somehow triumphant that well, what Yuna is waiting for. Yuna shocked and thought why she does felt... ...so depressed all of a sudden. [22]
She said with a pale expression that what... ...what happened here... The Imperial Palace was a mess, and there had been some pretty fierce fighting, with parts of it destroyed. Karstein asked that's the Imperial Palace. Karsenian agreed, saying: there has been a war, the way here was fine, but the Palace looked like a mess. Rosarahim said this could have been used for magical defense, there must have been a magic barrier to protect the castle... look at the cross section, it looked like everything was blown away in one go. One of the magnificent spires of the Imperial Palace had been cut off. She was surprised and shouted impossible, no human could possibly have done that... Then Karsenian and Kiadrys made strange expressions as if they had guessed something and he asked there's one human, right. Karsenian answered no other human held a candle to them, although they were never this powerful before... Someone shouted they should freeze. The guards came running and shouted who they were, how dare they set foot here while the Palace was in disarray, they do have a death wish. She cleared her throat and said ahem, the guards were mistaken, they're not intruders... Karstein said sink. With a loud bang, the granite floor where the guards had been standing caved in, creating a wide, deep pit that quickly spread out and swallowed them up at a whack. She looked into the pit in bewilderment at the guards' screams that seemed to come from the abyss. She thought she didn't even get a word in... She said Lord Karstein, next time, she'll talk to the humans... Karstein said huh, sure, she should go ahead. The Imperial Palace was in a miserable state. Someone said as expected, there's evidence of a battle inside too. Pete said he can't believe the Imperial Palace is in ruins... ...what could possibly have happened here. A guard blocked the group's path and shouted wh-who goes there. For a moment, she was taken aback. She said just one word that she's-- Karstein was impatient and didn't even wait for that and he said distort. The guard shouted argh. The space shook for a moment, the vision became distorted, and at the same time, a huge shock wave swept through the area. She thought Lord Karstein was destroying the Palace even further... Karstein said oh, she said she'll take care of it, right, then she should lead the way. Karsenian asked they were here to meet the king, at this rate, it's hard to say if he's still alive. Karstein answered Karsenian don't worry, the king is still alive... ...since she hasn't woken up yet. Seton thought ...who's Karstein talking about. Karstein asked anyway, why the Imperial Palace was so complex, she sure they're going the right way. She answered the Imperial Palace is complex to begin with, furthermore, it's partially destroyed... She thought actually, she doesn't know the layout of the Imperial Palace... Karsenian lost her temper and asked what a bother, why she doesn't just blast their way through. She became thoughtful and tried to dissuade that th-this way, please Ms. Karsenian follow her. A guard saw Karstein. The guard shouted who there went. Karstein said distort-- She shouted she's Charlene Apacain Deresteina Carkileid, the Southern Empire's Queen of Sorcery, she's here to see his majesty, the guard could take her to him. The guard said the Southern Empire... th-this way, please. She learned that she could not afford to hesitate... in the company of an impatient Red Dragon. She said they have arrived, past this door, they'll find... his majesty emperor Rohinas Crel Gaianes of the Gaianes Empire. The door was truly magnificent, with an indecipherable geometric pattern engraved in platinum on a gold door. Yuna was surprised and shouted the door is made of gold. Pete said selling this door could set him up for life. In front of this splendid visit, she opened her mouth in a calm voice that Lord Karstein, she beseech him to please hold back his powers here... Karstein said what a strange thing to say, he does not destroy anything without reason. A small piece of stone fell to the floor from a hole in the ceiling. The door opened. The pillars of the study were all engraved with gorgeous gold leaf patterns, and a middle-aged man was standing next to a treasure mountain made of all kinds of expensive-looking minerals, such as porcelain, gold, and platinum. The man turned his head and asked her. She greeted the man politely and said greetings, his majesty emperor Rohinas... ...the supreme ruler who stands above all. Seton was surprised. Seton thought she's so calm in front of the emperor... ...she really lived in a different world. Rohinas walked over and asked long time no see, her, who the people were with her. She was nervous and answered oh, the peoeple were... The way Rohinas looked at people suddenly changed. Someone said no, she doesn't need to explain. And surprisingly, Rohinas bowed his head respectfully to Karstein and opened his mouth with a politeness that one would never expect from someone who sat in the position of Emperor of the Empire that as the king of lowly beings, he welcome him from the noble race, he's Rohinas Crel Gaianes. People's eyes widened. Karstein said amazing, to think a human has the power to see through the essence of existence. Rohinas said he owe it to knowledge, he has been told in advance. Karstein asked he saw, it was she who told him, he's the only one who knew. Rohinas answered yes, he's the only one. Someone asked very well, Rohinas should go on and explain, why this did happen when she's in the Imperial Palace. Rohinas answered because... she's dreaming. [23]
Gaianes Empire, the third imperial library, Darneirod. In this place, which mainly contained materials related to magic, she and the mages in the palace fretted over all the thousands of pages of various materials. She thought it's been six hours already... ...but there were way too many records to look through, the third library houses magical records so complex that not even the librarians can understand them, so the records remain unorganized, which meant finding the right data will take longer... One of the mages ran towards her, clutching a bundle of papers, and cheered that her majesty, they found them, the research data recorded by the former Queen of Sorcery. She turned her head sharply. She quickly looked through the materials and thanked the mage that well done, so this is the former Queen's... Her complexion suddenly turned pale. The mage said ...huh... In the guest room, Karsenian sat down on the chair, leaned against the back of it and asked that kid went to find the records, right, how long will it take her to find them, the data is only from several decades ago, so it shouldn't take long, right. Yuna said Lady Karsenian... several decades is a long time for them humans, it would take at least a day to find the records. Karsenian said really, that's quick. Yuna said yes, it's quick... by dragon standards, that's... She came back to the room. She looked around the room in bewilderment and thought why all the dragons were asleep. She approached the bed hesitantly and said sh-she should wake the dragons up, excuse her... She thought if she wake the dragons up... A dragon shouted how dare she rouse it from its slumber. She thought ...but if she doesn't wake the dragons up... A dragon shouted how dare she waste its time. She thought ...either way, she's doomed. It seemed that Seton felt sorry for her as he looked at her and opened his mouth that she should wake Arin up, he's the least likely to bite. Arin was fast asleep with his head resting on Aria's lap. She gestured wildly toward Aria and said she should wake Arin up, please. Sure enough, Aria spoke to the sleeping Arin right away that he should wake up, she's here. Arin woke up. Arin stood up and shouted her. Arin shouted she did find a way to turn Aria back into a human. Karstein rubbed his eyes. Kiadrys yawned. Arin shouted what do they've to do. She opened her mouth with difficulty that Arin, about that... ...there's something she misunderstood. She continued speaking cautiously, lowering her voice even further that she did find records about the Vessel of the Soul, but it doesn't mention a way to turn Aria back into a human. Suddenly Arin took on a serious expression and his voice was fierce that what she does meant, Arin can't live as a human. Pete and Yuna's faces hardened. Seton's complexion also hardened. Karstein glanced at Arin. Aria comforted Arin and said he should calm down. Aria asked the question in a calm tone as if it were someone else's business that she could explain in detail, her. She opened her mouth calmly that ...she's sure Aria remember the side effects of being a Vessel of the Soul, so she won't repeat herself, to the previous Queen of Sorcery, reverting to her original state did not mean turning back into a human, her goal was to revert to something identical to being a human. Yuna wondered and asked identical... to being a human, it's that the same thing. After catching her breath, she continued that for a Vessel of the Soul, most of the physical body morphed into a different entity, the previous Queen of Sorcery knew next to nothing about the Almighty Creature in the first place, instead, she focused on studying imperial authority. Karstein puzzled and asked imperial authority. She said quietly that the previous Queen of Sorcery was referring to the jewels used to seal the Almighty Creature, that's Gaias and Zaedrasil. She continued speaking that let her being by explanning what the seals were, regarded as a form of mana reservoirs, the seals were made of a special material that can store a vast amount of mana, the previous Queen of Sorcery called it... ...multidimensional shared existence, abnormal compression of mana in a limited mass goes against the laws of the universe, so, she concluded that the material must exist in multidimensional space. Pete and Seton tilted their heads. She embarrassed and opened her mouth that it may sound like a far-fetched theory, but there's no other way to explain the seal. Yuna asked how much mana is stored within a seal for the previous Queen of Sorcery to propose this multidimensional theory. She answered she can't be sure... ...but based on various experiments, the mana within a seal... She continued that ...is comparable to dozens of dragons. Pete and Yuna were surprised. Karstein opened his mouth in a voice that seemed somehow sarcastic that She doesn't mind him, what she said is true, so she doesn't hold back and go on. She wondered and said y-yes. She started by explaining that there was indeed a vast amount of mana within the seal, if they could tap into it, then the Gaianes Empire would become the biggest magical empire in history, however, there was no way of knowing how to access that reserve of mana, let alone uncovering the original material of the jewel, "inanimate substances can neither gain nor lose more than a set amount of mana," that's one of the absolute laws of magic, naturally, the previous Queen of Sorcery had no idea how this was possible... Kiadrys was surprised. Suddenly Kiadrys said he saw, so the ture nature of the seals were that individual's... At that moment, Karstein let out a shrill, tearing a loud voice that Kiadrys. Karstein's voice was one of accusation, not anger, but it was enough to instill fear in all the humans here and there was silence for a moment. After a while, Karstein broke the silence and opened his mouth in a cold voice that human... she's missing one important point, inanimate substances that can store and releast mana for use... already exist in reality. Karstein continued that he's talking about the core of a dragon's mana... ...the Dragon Heart. [24]
After a while, Karstein broke the silence and opened his mouth in a cold voice that ...all right, human should continue. She was startled and said y-yes. She continued her explanation that the former Queen's final hope... ...rested in the seal of the Almighty Creature. She said overwhelmed by despair after the former Queen's failed attempted to create a Vessel of the Soul... ...she threw herself into intensive research on the seals of the Almighty Creature, she hoped that unlocking the vast amount of mana stored within the seals would do the trick, however, without any meant to extract mana from the seals, it remained no more than wishful thinking, that was when... ...something unexpected happened, she discovered the seals could absorb the mana that was slowly eroding her existence, it was impossible to understand why such a phenomenon occurred... ...but it was the only way to extract her mana while maintaining her existence, so, the former Queen of Sorcery emptied all the mana within the Vessel of the Soul to create balance between existence and mana, in ecchange, she ceased to be a mage. She said they now understand why such a phenomenon occurred, the former Queen had become something akin to the Almighty Creature... ...through the Vessel of the Soul. Arin, who was listening to the story, puffed out his cheeks and thought what's her point. Karstein said he saw, the former Queen was exploting the nature of Manadium. She asked Manadium. Karstein answered Manadium is the official name of the element making up the seals. Karsenian said so, rather than reverting to the former Queen's human state, she sealed her own abilities. Kiadrys said if the Almighty Creature is sealed, only the imperfect human part is left. Rosarahim said reproduction will be out of the question, but it's not a bad idea. Karstein said the former Queen was a human to start with, the sealing of her abilities would have bound her physical form to its predominant trait, which is human. Someone said oh, that's it, it wasn't anything special. Another said for a second, he was shocked that humans had advanced so much. Arin became dazed. Arin shouted to Karstein that so, that does mean Aria can become human. Karstein said Aria cannot become a human, but that will not impede her from living her life, it's no different from living as a human, really. Someone shouted really. Yuna thought Aria might be able to live as a human... ...but it wouldn't be the life that she envisioned, it wouldn't be the life that she lost... She lowered her head weakly and muttered that Aria, she's sorry she couldn't be of much help... Aria said it's enough for her, she didn't think she could completely go back to how things were before anyway. Karstein and Kiadrys realized their mistake and kept their mouths shut. Arin's face turned half ashen as he noticed that there was something strange in the atmosphere around him and asked Aria. Someone said she really is fine. but... Aria had a blank expression on her face, without even a hint of emotion, and her voice was dry that ...let her smile, let her laugh and cry, that's enough for her. Arin raised his head forcefully and said okay... On one side of the cave, a distortion of space occurred in a corner, and soon it transformed into a sphere, slowly growing larger as it took over space, and soon, a group of people slowly emerged from that space. She who's standing next to Seton, she shouted it's that Charlemagne's Sword. Seton was surprised and shouted pardon, King Charlemagne. Someone thought Charlemagne was the legendary Sword Master, the most powerful in the western empire's history... ...and dare he say, all of human history, why his sword would here of all places... Karstein who's standing next to Seton, he replied indisposed that oh, he forgot he had that, there was this one human who ran wild 300 years ago, so he took his sword and tossed it aside. Seton was terrified and thought Karstein did just treat it like junk, and she was awkwarded too. [25]
She said it looked like a floating island. [26]
Suddenly, an eerie feeling crossed the back of Rosarahim's head. Rosarahim shouted everyone, they should get down. Immediately, a thick, eerie flash of light passed by. She was surprised to see the pit in front of her. Across from her, Aria blocked her path, blocking the flash, and she saw the incredible heat searing her hands, arms, shoulders, and she said th-thanks... she saved her... Aria responded coldly that they might not escape at this rate, her, please use her magic. She nodded. She raised both hands and thought she's a Master of Eighth Circle spells, she has to stop being a burden. She chanted a spell that rise, currents from the abyss... ...the source of power flowing in the depths of the sea. In an instant, a huge void opened up behind Charlene and a massive amount of mana stream poured down and she shouted Grand Stream. The mana current covered Eldicreature's particles rushing towards them, and they were all caught up in it and started to be torn to pieces. Pete who had been watching opened his mouth wide and said she... really was the Queen of Sorcery... ...the creature's parts weren't approaching them anymore. She ran towards Aria and shouted her arm... Aria bit Arin's collar and said she doesn't worry about her. Yuna watched Arin dangling from Aria's mouth and thought it's just her of their was relationship growing more and more abnormal... [27]
Her voice trembled that this was... ...a Dragon Heart. Zahadrian stared at Aria, who's holding Arin and left a soft message that she should take care of him. Zahadrian flew up again and the soft voice she left behind echoed faintly that please. [28]
The first to be destroyed was the Imperial Palace, the center of Shahar, which was also reduced to complete ruins. She said she doesn't believe it... She looked bewildered, sat down helplessly and continued ...the entire empire was razed to the ground... Yuna muttered as if she found the situation strange, looking around that ...how they did survive... amid all this destruction. Pete answered who knew... ...maybe the dragon's blessing was protecting them. Seton's voice sounded gloomy that there were more pressing matters than that, look, Eldicreatures were approacing them. Pete looked into the sky and asked they sh-should fight Eldicreatures off. Seton made a face that seemed funny and asked ha... fight Eldicreatures off. Someone looked at the parts of Eldicreature's swarming in like a swarm of bees and said even the dragons were helpless against that monster. There's Arin behind Seton. Someone said stop... and Yuna and she was surprised to see him. A dazzling light emanated from Arin's body. Someone screamed ...stop, and a dazzling red light emanated from somewhere. [29]
People were in the cave. Yuna looked embarrassed and asked what's this place, a cave. Pete looked around in confusion and asked they were surrounded by the Almighty Creature... that was about to kill them... Arin spoke in a very small, thin voice that this place... Arin said ...was his home. Seton suddenly shouted in surprise that Arin's home, he's saying this was a dragon's lair. Yuna had a blank expression and thought that meant they're in the Al Kreed Mountains, they did teleport here all the way from the empire. Seton, who was quietly looking at Arin's blank expression, suddenly bit his lip and thought so, this was the power of a dragon, huh... People came out of the cave. Seton turned to her and asked well... what now. Seton said he's thinking of heading back to his hometown... ...that's to Libeid. Yuna said they've nowhere to go anyway, so they'll follow Seton. Pete also gave his opinion that he'll return to the temple, Libeid was on the way, so he'll join Seton. She hesitated. Her voice trailing off and said as for her... ...she must return to her people, as the Queen of Sorcery, she has a duty to fulfill. She thought the truth was... ...she wanted to stay with Seton for a little longer... A soft, regretful smile appeared on Seton's lips and he said that's so... Someone greeted her in a soft voice that then they must go their separate ways. Three months later. Gaster saw someone particularly familiar: her. Someone looked at the beautiful blonde girl looking calmly out the window and thought she's here, Queen of Sorcery of the southern empire. Gaster greeted her briefly that long time no see, her Majesty, Queen. She responded coldly that yes, it has been a while, Mr. instigator of this disaster. Gaster smiled awkwardly and shrugged his shoulders. She opened her mouth coldly that with what purpose Gaster did approach her. Gaster quickly got to the point that purpose, how could, her Majesty, well, he'll get down to business right away. Gaster asked the ones who traveled with her Majesty... ...where they're right now. Someone continued speaking cautiously that to be precise... where's Arin, all he needed to know were his whereabouts. She asked why Gaster do wish to know about Arin's whereabouts. Gaster said her Majesty saw, Arin was the key... to resolving this current crisis. She thought about it for a moment. She said weakly that they...went their separate ways. Back to the present, She said to Gaster that just like that, she returned to the empire, that was already three months ago, she hasn't heard any news from them since then. Gaster thought so, Arin was with that boy named Seton. Someone asked Libeid, huh... hmm. At that moment, the conference room door opened and someone came inside. The messenger said his Majesty king Hudsail el Sarbazan of the Sarbazan Kingdom has arrived. Gaster looked back and smiled, and her expression became subtle. The messenger said his Majesty king Farzar el Arasnan of the Arasnan Kingdom has arrived. She was surprised and couldn't take her eyes off anyone. A young black-haired boy king appeared, dressed in splendid attire, and the messenger said the new king of the Libeid Kingdom, his Majesty king Seton el Libeid has arrived. She thought Seton. [30]
She was so surprised that she couldn't take her eyes off Seton and thought the new king of Libeid... ...was him. Seton smiled faintly at her and said long time no see, her Majesty Queen. She was embarrassed and asked how did he ascend to the throne, Seton... ...only three months ago, he was just a squire, this does mean he has royal blood. Gaster walked over and asked him, she wasn't aware, Queen. Gaster opened his mouth in a playful voice that despire taking the Sarasnein name, King Seton has always been royalty, thanked to a certain someone who wiped out the royal family of Libeid, the lucky lad became the king by default. Seton's brow furrowed and opened his mouth, trying to keep his composure that Lord Gaster, he must remind him that he was the cause of the predicament they're in. Gaster laughed and said with the utmost shamelessness he's well aware, his Majesty, that's precisely why he devised a plan. Seton said he doesn't feel any shame... ...he'd advise against having such blind faith in his magic, Gaster. Seton said behind him stood the last descendant of the strongest species on earth. Behind Seton, Arin came in through the door. Gaster smiled as if he was really happy to see Arin and said well, well, well... that's the best news he has heard as of late. At the door, Arin, Yuna, and Aria came in. Someone thought at last, the final trump card has arrived. A giant airship appeared in the background. Zehid said this was the airship that they invented. Brodale asked the airship truly was massive up close, this can big vessel really float in the sky without magic. Zehid added a question to Brodale's question that technically speaking, the vessel wasn't completely without magic. Zehid said but not to worry, the Almighty Creature was only concerned with the act of using mana, it doesn't care about items transformed by magic. Someone said this airship will let them approach the Almighty Creature even without mana. Farzar el Arasnan and Hudsail el Sarbazan were speechless. Someone said the strongest fighters from each country will board the aircraft and attack the monster. Argos asked and where was the monster right now... Someone answered he heard the monster was heading toward the northern empire. A king said they don't have much time. Another king said let's work out the details along the way. Latisse looked up at the sky and said what a sight to behold... In front of she and Latisse, revealing their large white bodies, dozens of airships slowly floated, filling the skies above Demistyn, the capital of the Western Region of the Gaianes Empire. Someone said they spared no expense, come, let them board as well. The airship was floating. In the conference room at the front of the flagship, Zehid began briefing the kings of each country that generally, the Almighty Creature attacked in three ways. Zehid continued that first, the Almighty Creature blasted Dragon Breath using the dragons it consumed, humans have no way to block this attack. Latisse said even if they mobilize the mages to create a defensive barrier... ...they can't be sure if they'll endure an attack that not even the dragons could withstand. Zehid continued his explanation with a bitter tone that indeed, in the end, they've no choice but to evade the attack, so he has come up with a strategy to minimize the damage open-order formation, baded on their observations so far... ...the monster doesn't blast Dragon Breaths when splitting itself into smaller parts, perhaps they could take advantage of that. After taking a moment to catch his breath, Zehid continued his explanation that moving on, the monster's second form of attack... ...was a physical attack using its appendages, so far, no one has survived the appendage attack... so they must assume that the creature was physically stronger than a dragon. Zehid turned the paper over and said that brings them to... Zehid said ...the creation of an anti-Almighty-Creature weapon with the power of sixth circle spells, a mana-powered explosive warhead, since the monster absorbed magic attacks, magic will only be used to fire shells that deal physical damage, so airships will only fire at the front... while 40 airships will fend off the appendaged from the back, finally, the remaining 10 will transport the shells. She asked the last form of attack... must be the monster lumps. Zehid was silent for a moment and said that's in fact the most worrisome part, the monster can split itself into countless regenerative parts, however, its only purpose was to hunt down mana, the solution required a slightly brutal plan... Argos' face hardened and said Zehid don't tell him... Someone said that's right, while the airship fleet fought off the monster... ...mages, Sword Masters, and others who use mana will gather in one aircraft... and fight off the smaller parts. She was surprised and shouted Zehid was suggesting... ...they use each nation's strongest fighters as bait. Zehid said magic attacks don't work on the monster, so it can't be helped, it should at least prevent the other airships from being attacked. Farzar asked in a timid voice that even hundreds of dragons couldn't damage the monster, what chance they do have... Zehid said with determination that they must believe in themselves, who else would have faith in them. Latisse said it does even matter, they've no choice, they'll do their best and leave the rest to the gods. Seton smiled bitterly and asked the gods, huh, they were the ones who created the monster. Brodale, who had been silent until now, suddenly opened his mouth that actually, it's a blessing for the people, if all the mana users around the continent board one aircraft... ...the monster will stop destroying cities right. Brodale laughed heartily and shouted their sacrifice will protect the people of this nation, they should take pride in their mission as leaders. Someone said ...they'll keep heading northest, the fate of the world was on the line, so they should get some rest now before the battle. The flagship of the airships glided silently across the night sky and in the cabin hallway, she was looking out the window. She suddenly felt a presence. Seton was approaching her, dressed in ordinary traveler's clothes, and she called him. She spoke first that how Seton have been, oh, congratulations on ascending to the throne. Seton said haha. A bitter smile appeared on Seton's lips and he said he should celebreate... ...once they get rid of the monster, that's. The wind blew, and the moon and stars followed them. She asked where's Pete, he's doing his own thing now. Another replied briefly that Pete has become the high priest of the temple of Harnian, the goddess of the moon. Someone wondered and shouted what, Pete reached the highest position too, but how. Another answered apparently, the monster also swept through the great temple in Sarbazan, of the priest who survived, Pete had the highest seniority... She clasped her hands together as if in gratitude and said ...that reminded her, Arin seemed to have regained his spirits since three months ago. Another said it's because Arin found hope. Charlene asked back that hope. Suddenly a deep sigh escaped Seton's mouth and said Arin planned to cut open the belly of the monster to save his mom, he must've read Little Red Riding Hood or something. She said oh, that's very typical of Arin... Seton said still, Arin's determination allowed him to master Fifth Circle spells in a heartbeat, just as he expected from a dragon, but he's trying so hard that he doesn't have the heart to stop him. A sorrowful light lingered in her blue eyes and said she saw, she doesn't have the heart to destroy Arin's hope either. She continued Arin's family was wiped out the moment they were absorbed by the monster... reality was cruel indeed. Someone approached from across the cabin corridor. A thick voice flowed out that pardon him for intruding on his quality time... Seton looked back. A middle-aged mage wearing a black robe appeared across the cabin corridor, and another asked Lord Gaster. Gaster smiled. Gaster continued with a gentle smile that he may have a moment of his time, King Seton, he'd like to discuss with him about the eradication of the Almighty Creature. [31]
She pointed out that all that aside... ...why Gaster don't do it then. Gaster smiled, covered his arms with his sleeves and said he's currently being eaten alive. Gaster still spoke calmly that out here, he's safe since the monster thought he's being consumed by its parts, however, the moment he came in contact with the body, it'll see him as a tasty cut of steak. She and Seton frowned. [32]
She looked at Gaster with suspicious eyes and asked a Tenth Circle spell, it's a dragon's relic, a human can't possibly have cast such a powerful spell. Gaster giggled bitterly and said her Highness were asking him to reveal his tricks to another magician, some things were meant to be kept in the dark, even when the world was on the brink of destruction. She asked the previous Queen of Sorcery used the same method, but she couldn't return to being fully human, how Gaster does plan to revert Aria into a human. Gaster asked back confidently, chuckling that he can make it happen, the previous Queen of Sorcery failed due to a lack of skills, but he's a magical genius, her Highness does have a problem with that. She was really, really annoyed and thought what an arrogant prick, but he has a point... She looked out the window and asked why it's a Tenth Circle spell, the method itself shouldn't require such a high-level spell. Gaster answered it's on a completely different scale, her Highness will find it easier to understand if she think about the duration of its traits, he meant, they're talking about a giant monster, not a human, it was only natural that it required a refined skill. Suddenly she asked in an anxious voice that Arin will be able to return safely. Gaster laughed and answered confidently that her Highness were worrying about a dragon right now, Arin will return safe and sound, no doubt. Gaster smiled faintly and said technically, her Highness can hit herself... ...but she can't strike an illusion. She asked an illusion. Gaster said her Highness familiar with the nature of Manadium, it's crafted from the Dragon Heart of Elsanad and connected worlds on the threshold of existence. She asked Elsanad, Gaster was referring to Titan Elsanad, the Super Dragon. Gaster grumbled and answered Elsanad the Super Dragon and Titan the Almighty Creature, to be precise, for goodness' sake, nothing got passed down in history correctly. Meanwhile, she was thinking about something that Manadium... ...the multidimensional shared existence... Her eyes widened and muttered ...so that's why... it has to be Arin... Gaster smiled broadly as he looked at her and he thought oh, that was enough for her to understand everything, the fool has proved herself as a high-ranking mage. Gaster responded calmly that if everything goes well, Arin will be safe, and Miss chimera will fully revert into a human, he swear on his honor as an archmage. She asked since when has honor been so important to Gaster. Gaster said haha. Gaster asked her Highness would believe him if he swore on the honor of his Majesty King Latisse. She was silent. She turned around and said she'll trust Gaster, at least, she won't asssume he's lying, and then he suddenly chuckled. [33]
She was surprised. She thought having a multidimensional shared existence meant Arin also shared the laws of other universe, that's why the Almighty Creature's reversal of the laws had no effect on him. [34]
Yuna was surprised and she covered her mouth in horror. [35]
10 years later, at this time, the mana on one side of the empty lot gathered and Yuna turned around. She was taking steps from the Warp Gate and said it's been a while, everyone, traitors, fiends, and turncoats all in one place... Now in her mid-twenties, she asked will today be the last day she must see all of them. Yuna, Seton, Pete saw her. Gaster clapped his hands and asked now, now, they should tone it down a little, just why do young people... always squabble when they gather. Someone said they should get along, people. Yuna and she gave Gaster thrilling looks. Gaster smiled and said now that everyone had arrived... ...they shall get ready... ...to see Karsearin. [36]
There's Lyra's INN. Seton who's next to her, he asked it was a dream. The cave was deep and dark, and in a hollow, artificially dug deep, like a porcelain floor, there was Karsearin, quietly curled up and sleeping, with his four wings calmly folded, and a gigantic head with twelve horns tucked into his bosom, and someone was emitting a blue light. She and Pete looked helpless. [37]
