"Do any of you have Any idea, what caused that mana wave recently?"
The people standing before him remained silent they did not have an answer to give. The doors to the throne room opened and a man claded in armor walked in and kneeled before The king whom sat on the throne.
"Father, My king, I have news of the location the Mana wave originated from."
The king looked down on him with emotionless eyes gazing at Saul as if he was just another knight and nothing more.
"As expect of the first Prince, Court of Magicians you are dismissed, leave us now"
The magicians whom stood before the King quickly exited the room leaving the two alone as commanded.
"Now....You May Speak my son".
Saul Stood up and opened a map before his father , which had markings at specific locations.
"The source of the Mana wave Originated from the largest dungeon close to the port town, The Abyss the witness stated that the Mana pierced the sky before causing a ripple effect that blew over the land, The Alliance of the Nine Races have come to the conclusion that this was caused by the birth of a new Dungeon Master one that may hold special treasures and wishes to Capture the dungeon and extract these treasures, The Elven King however has already started to make his move towards The Abyss"
The king became furious gripping the handle of the throne harder and harder until it crumbled in his hand, something felt off about the Mana he thought to him self and he did not want the elves to capture the dungeon for themselves.
"Send the Hero's to check it out immediately, make sure they get there before the Elves, go with them to make sure everything thing gets done...that's all you may leave"
Saul bowed to his father then left the room, closing the door behind him.
The King Covered his face letting out a deep sigh.
"This back and forth with those prideful Elves....Logan show yourself"
Out of the shadows imerged a man in a full black cloak, with a sheathed Katana strapped to his side. He then kneeled before the king.
"You Called my Lord.."
The King stood up and walked towards Logan as he kneeled, then glared down at him and placed his hand on his shoulder.
"I need you to intercept the elves traveling to the Abyss....kill them...and be sure to make it look like it was done by the Dragonewts....gather your men and make your preparations to Leave immediately..."
Logan without a word nodded his head then faded back into the darkness. The king lifted his head staring at the roof letting out a deep sigh.
"...Long live my empire.." the king uttered
Mean while Raoul Traveling further and further away from the abyss, kept heading North, being careful not to wonder into the other races territory. Only able to observe them from afar. Further along his Journey Raoul stumbled unto a small village that had a very small population of a few mix blood children and a Elderly man whom seemed to be their care taker. The old man and the children seeing Raoul became very cautious. surprised that a human had found them. It was clear that nothing good happened to them when they interacted with any human, due to their Impure bloodline.
One of the children, a small yet frail girl walked up to Raoul cautiously and pulled on the end of his Jacket, trembling, her eye's swollen with tears and fear writen all over her face. she stood there looking up at Raoul. She was a mix between a Goblin and human. Her distinguishing features being her green hands and feet while the rest of her was that of a normal child.
Stolen novel; please report.
"P-please.....S-save her...Mr... "the young girl said pointing to the forest.
The old man frightened as he saw Raoul leaning over to pick up the child, tried to shout, but his throat became dry with fear because he did not know what Raoul would do.Raoul lifted the girl into his arms and patted her head.
"Don't worry...i won't hurt you.." Raoul Said as the frightened child tried to hold back her tears sniffling and shaking.
The child clinged to Raoul as a child would to their parent. All while trembling.
"What happened here?"
The old man walked up to Raoul but kept a safe distance out of fear.
"The Elves...They took the other children and left...the ones here are the ones they already experimented on and sent back because they don't have much longer to live..There is nothing i could have done to help them..."
Raoul glared at the old man, then the other children. They were all badly bruised and damaged but the old man showed no sign of being hurt which was strange to Raoul.
"Why did they take them?" Raoul said in a disgruntled Tone.
A Dark Aura started to emit from Raoul filling the area with a terrifying atmosphere.The little girl in Raoul's arm Begun to tremble even more as she turned and saw the look on Raoul's face before bursting into tears.
"P-P-please calm down Sir...I can tell you but..please...your scaring the children..."
Raoul lifted his head and let out a deep sigh, The Dark aura immediately faded as if it was never there, the old man trembled as four of the other children hid behind him. Raoul walked over to the old man and handed him the crying girl then placed his hands on his shoulder.
"I want to know everything...and i mean every detail" He whispered to the old man.
The Old man looked at Raoul walking away to check the village and then turn his attention back to the children. To the old mans surprise the bruise and scars were now gone, They seemed to be in better condition than they were before Raoul arrived. However this was only possible due to Raoul's Mana, by exposing the children to Raoul's Mana in such a short time they could survive is what the old man thought. The old man then realized Raoul was not like the other human and that maybe, just maybe he could be able to help. The goblin girl seemed to have developed a kind of admiration for Raoul tailing him whereever he went in the village.
That night they started a camp fire and Raoul gave them meat from the monsters that he killed on his travels, after eating all the kids fell asleep. Cuddled up together.
"Old man, it's time to talk...but first atleast let me have your name, mines Raoul"
The Old man looked conflicted about how to answer.
"Ahum....my name...my name is George, the little ones, Don't have one though they go by 1002,1003,1004,1005 and 1006 is the goblin girl that admires you so much.."
"...You...All of them were created?...and there are more of them?"
"Yes i...These children were the last of the one's they expiramented on and that was due to them being incomplete experiments and that they now had a very short life span....these children will die soon once there bodies reach their limits....I can't save them..only gibe them comfort while their still alive...any of the other races we've come across would either try to kill us or take us to be sold as slaves and they succeeded not too long ago with one of the weaker ones....so we've had no choice but to run away and hide...but you...I saw what you did you could help them! When you released your mana, it was as if they were getting better, you've even fed us some of your own food and since you came not one monster has approcached us...you're doing what no one else has...you are our saviour"
Raoul looked at him as if he was crazy.
"I'm no Saviour...So don't keep your hopes up"
The Old man paused for a moment then asked Raoul a question, that made Raoul glare at him for a quick moment but brushed it off as the old man just being curious.
Much later that night Raoul left them all asleep and Stood in the middle of the forest with his eye's closed.
Nothing but the ambience of the night and the sound of his Jacket blowing in the wind could be heard. He Then walked further into the forest ,walking for hours as if being lead somewhere.
He then came across a wide plain devoid of life, The bones of humans and monsters were scattered all around the plain, Raoul looked around slowly examining the area.
"FORAGE" Raoul said in a low tone
A large gust of wind engulf the plain, as if being vacuumed to the center as Raoul walked cross, every bone of the dead humans and Monsters were sucked into Raoul's Shadow. Suddenly he Stopped and turned his gaze to the ground below him.
"Found you" Raoul said with a smirk
But before he could do anything The sounds of Thousands of bow string's being pulled back could be heard echoing all around the forest. Raoul lifted his head and hissed his teeth.
"...Elves?...Seems like I'm in your territory now...so that means his memories were right.."
"Who are you to set foot upon our holy land without our Kings permission, You filthy human scum!! Kneel down now before me The great Vladamair and we'll consider sparing your insignificant life"
Raoul let out a deep sigh then put his hands inside his pockets.
"You people seem too high up....let's drop it a few feet down"
Vladamair laughed histerically finding what Raoul said absolutely funny.
"What could a mere human do to me? A LV 89 High Elf and a Thousand Elven Soldier...come,come endulge me human"
Raoul looked at Vladamair with a look of amusement.
"..TUNNEL!.." Raoul said in an annoyed tone.
The entire plane started to shake violently, crumbling beneath Raoul and the elves, a massive sink hold appeared below them,swallowing Every last one. with nothing but total darkness below as Vladamair, his troops and Raoul fell deeper and deeper into the depts that seemed like it went on forever. Raoul kept his composure falling feet first through the air.
Screams of terror from the falling Elves echoed as they cried out to their leader for help.
