A Mysterious Island off the coast of China - 10:40 A.M.-After Wraths Defeat.

"What's the situation looking like?" A gruff voice demanded.

Across the rotunda, the shaky voice of a much younger boy replied, "All 7. All 7 continents are being attacked simultaneously."

A hand slammed against the table, causing the young blonde-haired boy to flinch. "We already knew that! We're asking what the situation is looking! Are we pushing them back?" A different man with red hair asked, his entire visage shaking with rage.

There was a brief moment of silence before the boy finally responded. "Currently, the number of attacks has dwindled considerably, and the enemies' forces are being slowly overcome. However, all of the areas that have been attacked, were done at the hands of magicians."

"That's impossible!" The voice of a women said. She leaned forward while adjusting her glasses. She was tall, and undeniably good looking, with dark-skin and brown eyes. "All of our intel suggest that this is a force of non-magicians!"

"Sympathizers. That's the simple answer." An Asian man with long black hair said, flicking cigarette ashes unto the floor. "They've betrayed us to join the other side."

"But why?" The girl fired right back.

"We don't even know the main goal of these attacks. We'll be hard-pressed to find answers to anything else." He simply shrugged.

"However, Liam mentioned that we are pushing them back. There lies hope in that fact." Another man with glasses and a clean cut pointed out.

"Hope? What hope is there to be had. This is an act of war!" The old man who was the first to speak said this.

"Not only that, but that bastard Cato still hasn't arrived yet." The Asian man said, directing his gaze to the only empty seat out of a total of 7.

"What are the chances that he's still caught up trying to defend his own magic academy?" The red-haired man asked.

The girl with glasses simply shook her head. "He should already know the standard procedure. He should have left that in the care of Japan's own, 'World Ender' and came here as quickly as he could."

"That can only mean there's been some sort of hold up at his magic academy. Something that's keeping him stuck there." The gruff old man concluded. "The question is,"

"What could keep the headmaster of a magic academy tied down like that?" A girl with brunette hair finally spoke up. She had a cross chain hanging around her neck.

"Not only that, but all communication with Theta Magic Academy has been cut off completely." A brown-skinned man with dreads and his feet kicked up on the table added.

"Thats the most concerning part. Liam! Where are a majority of their forces concentrated again?" The Asian man turned back to the blonde-haired youth.

After frantically clicking on the screen of his iPad, Liam answered, "In all 7 of the continents, the majority of the most powerful forces are aimed at the Magic Academies."

Complete silence dawned over the room. Liam continued.

"Meanwhile, the capitals and locations of the imperial families and such have remained relatively untouched."

Glances were traded between the 6 people gathered at the rotunda. The tension was only rising.

"That means whoever is orchestrating this attack knows." The girl with the cross chain said cryptically.

The girl with glasses nodded. "They know that the true power of the seven continents lies not within its government and royal family, which are just figureheads-but instead, lies in the magic academies."

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

"Aiming for the magic academies of all 7 continents, while committing terrorists acts although the world, and framing them as the work of magicians. They're trying to take down two birds with one stone." The Asian man said.

"Through the terrorist attacks, they can win over the manpower of any non-magician and convince them to join this cause. That handles the army. And then, if they can topple even one of the 7 magic academies, then they gain an immense foothold in the world. With both of those conditions meet, they can start a rebellion." The man with dreadlocks only leaned back further in his seat.

"Not to mention they timed this attack perfectly. At a time where everything in this world was teetering on the edge." The brunette girl lifted up her chain, analyzing it. "What's our next move. We need to act now. Waiting for Cato simply isn't an option."

The old man spoke. "It's simple. As the acting headmasters of the 7 grand magic academies, we must do everything in our power to make sure the magic academies do not fall into the hands of these barbarians. Leave all of the attacks on civilian areas to the army and local militia. We will hold back these terrorists."

"Fangless Python." Liam said.

"Huh?" All six insanely powerful magicians in the room turned their gaze to the young boy.

He shriveled back at the pressure of their gazes. "They call themselves the Fangless Python."

Japan- Same time

A singular man stood in the center of the massive field, filled with bodies, and massive burn marks and debris.

He wore a black suit with a white flower stitched into the breast pocket. He was tall, with dark hair that blew in the wind.

In front of him, the next legion had already shown up. He didn't even pretend to be shocked. He had been fighting these people for hours, and they just never stopped coming.

Behind him, Theta Magic academy stood. At least, that's what he thought.

At the moment, it was impossible to tell what was going on over there. All around the Magic Academy, were massive storm clouds that darkened the surrounding area. The barrier of the magic academy itself had been tampered with as well. What normally should have shown the illusion of a regular field, was currently completely blacked out. It caused it to look like a black dot int eh center of a storm.

There was no way into the barrier, as someone had literally re-written its code. And there must have been no way out either, because he had not seen a single soul for the hours he had been standing there.

No communication. No information. Everybody was in the dark.

Next to the man, the air flashed blue, before a hologram appeared right next to him. It was of a middle-aged man wearing a red suit. He was sitting upon what looked to be a throne. His eyes were dark voids of black that absorbed all light.

"Kaguya."

The seated man spoke.

"Yes, lord." Kaguya bowed, Showing his respect for the man in the hologram in front of him.

"Tell me you have good news for me."

Kaguya shook his head tersely. "Unfortunately, Lord Suzaku, the situation hasn't changed from when we last talked. There still hasn't been word from inside of the magic academy. And the waves of these tattooed men just keep coming."

Suzaku audibly sucked his teeth. The disdain in his expression was clear.

"May I remind you that inside of that magic academy lie everything vital to our country? The headmaster, representative of Asia is there."

Kaguya nodded. In front of him, the waves of enemies were growing closer and closer. He could sense a very strong one approaching.

"And many children of the 10 grand magic families are also in there. None of these 10 families are in a very good mood, and they are waiting anxiously for new on the status of their children. I shouldn't need to remind you about how imperative it is that none of them are hurt. We have big plans. You know how hard it is to get the 10 families to agree on anything, so I don't want this to go down the drain."

Kaguya nodded, summoning a bow made of mana at the same time. "I understand."

"Then figure out a way in there, and quickly!" The hologram disappeared.

At the same time, a blast of wind magic could be seen flying high into the clouds, before dispersing them, causing the sunlight to shine down on the barrier. At the same time, a massive blast of magic crashed down against the barrier, enveloping the world of light.

Kaguya watched this all with bated breath. "That sure is one hell of a flare. But it means those kids haven't stopped fighting. I need to get in the-"

"KAGUYA!" A voice yelled.

Kaguya turned his attention downhill. There, at the head of the army of non-magicians, stood one man with a particularly large aura.

He was tall, and he wore a long white coat that billowed in the wind. His eyes were a dark red color, and he had two swords at his hip.

"You, Kaguya, are the 'World Ender' of Japan, right?" The man asked, taking a step forward. He was standing just at the base of the hill, staring up at Kaguya.

"I really hate that title." Kaguya said, aiming his bow at the man. "Just who are you."

"I am a general of Prometheus's army, of the Fangless Python. Code name, "Perseus."

"Prometheus?" Kaguya asked. "Who is that?"

Perseus smiled. "The soon to be king of this world. The harbinger of the flames of revolution!"

Kaguya did not react to that. "Whatever your goal is, your myth is here, Perseus."

Perseus unsheathed his blades. "Show me your power, 'world ender!'
