It feels familiar… ah… the soul from that time with Rezald… I must inquire him but he is still in class today… so I’ll tell him later. As I walk out and descend from the floating upper branch of the academy I spot some familiar figures… fated curse… I got to hurry…
Nelus: Reila, Joanna.
Reila: L-Lord Nelus… I-I’m not ready…
Joanna: Lord Nelus, glad to see you after so long too bad Nemina is in another academy. She would’ve been glad to see you.
Nelus: How was the city?
Joanna: Ever since you installed that artifact our system has become far better than before.
Nelus: Glad to hear it.
Joanna: Geez… telling my sister to have me become an adviser so suddenly… also it seems that your power has increased… still be careful… many things await you whether good or bad.
Reila: Lord Nelus, thanks for having the time to visit us once a month… sorry for my pushy mother…
Nelus: Its okay and its good that you have your whole family together.
Reila: Yeah…
Reila answered as she smiled wholeheartedly.
Reila: I heard you have some new companions? Also where is Frei and Fala I missed them.
Nelus: They are back at Uire inside the mansion.
Reila: Oh! You’re living inside the city of angels right? Are there any girls… living with you?
Nelus: Fala…
Reila: Phew…
Nelus: Tania and Jisa.
Reila: Eh!? Who are they!?
Nelus: Ah… do you remember Altan?
Reila: The dracran baby?
Nelus: Yes it seems he has reached level 100 and was given a twin also Jisa is the owner of the mansion.
Reila: Uuuu…
While we were talking someone also descends from the gate from the floating upper branch of the school… it was Cheil. Afterwards she wraps her arm around mine as she looks at Reila with a expressionless face while Reila and Joanna was astonished.
Joanna: You really are… hahh… as I expected… (trouble with women…)
Reila: L-l-l-l-lord N-n-nelus… whose she?
Cheil: Cheil… Nelus is mine…
Nelus: No… Cheil let go…
Cheil: As you wish…
Seeing that they don’t seem quite close Reila somehow sighed in relief as another individual descends…
Zala: Nelus!! Cheil…
Cheil: Zala…
Joanna: Don’t tell me another woman who is interested in Lord Nelus…
Zala: Wha!! I-I… wait who are you?
Nelus: Reila…
Zala: Ah! The elf companion you said from before… greetings…
Reila: Ah… greetings…
Another set of loud voices were heard two of them… it was Wedea and Raldine…
Wedea: Ohh!! So this is Lux academy!
Raldine: Don’t shout like that sister… you’re embarrassing me…
Wedea: Oho! I spot Nelus!! Ooooyy!!!
Raldine: Wa-wa-wa-wa… Nelus… nice to see you I have been wanting to talk to you for some time its about our city…
Wedea: Enough about that! Nelus how about showing me around! Also, duel me! If you win I’ll give you a kiss!!
Nelus: …
Calice: (Ahahahahaha!!! All the captured ones in one place how splendid… what will you do Lord Nelus?)
Nelus: (I need to tell Rezald… hahh… so troublesome…)
Calice: (It’s your fault Lord Nelus that this is happening after all…)
Nelus: (…)
???: …Hmph…!
That female voice again… why does it feel like that its irritated?
Reila: Ahhh!! Another one!! Lord Nelus!! We haven’t been together as much as before and this happens… uuu… also… you can’t kiss Lord Nelus!!
Wedea: Ohh? Why not?
Raldine: U-uhm… sis… ter… uhm… all of you… please calm down…
Raldine said as sparks were flying between the two glaring beauties.
Cheil: I already kissed him…
Everyone-in-unison: Eehh!!!???
Reila: L-lord Nelus is that true?
Nelus: Yes.
All of them paled as they glared at Cheil, all of them thought “A powerful one…” as they started arguing…
Nelus: Hahh…
********************************************************
Rezald’s POV
Another good day’s work in school… I’m kind of glad that they are all paying attention but those unblinking stare of theirs somehow makes me uncomfortable… hmm? As I descend from the upper gates using earth magic by creating a platform that I can stand on as it slowly lifts me down while using gravity magic I learned from Bro Nelus’ books, I seem to have found Bro Nelus surrounded by arguing women… I then smiled wryly as I walk over to them while taking Bro Nelus’ arm while they are busy arguing with each other. I created a figure that looks like Bro Nelus using
Rezald: I guess we really are people fated to be surrounded by women…
I said while smiling wryly… as I decided to leave, I felt a hand on my shoulder stopping me…
Rezald: What is it Bro Nelus?
Nelus: Remember the soul with you during that time?
Hearing his words my heart quickens as I seem to choke on my words… Sirian… is… is it…
Rezald: Y… es…
Nelus: Her reincarnation is nearing…
Hearing his words I my mind went blank as excitement fills me… tears are welling up inside me… another chance to see Sirian again…
Nelus: Let us hurry… it seems fate doesn’t want for you two to meet again… it was already near impossible to reincarnate her in the same timeline as you… this was already a miracle…
Rezald: What are you saying…
I said as I felt fear encroaching me… I sensed that something was wrong…
Nelus: Sirian’s soul is bound by a curse… we have three days to find her or fate will kill her off…
Rage filled my soul as I again cursed fate… does fate really hate me so much… I then clenched my fist as my eyes became bloodshot… seeing the state I am in Nelus calms me down as I breathe inwardly… that’s right… I will go against fate again… we are not meant to meet again!? STOP JOKING!! No ones going to stop me from meeting with the one I love!! Fate? As if something like that will hold me down… I have gone against fate many times!!
Rezald: Bro Nelus where too!!
Nelus: West from here.
Rezald: Let’s go!! Don’t worry about me bro Nelus!! Please use your Spatial Magic with all you got!!
I said while trembling… even if fate shatters my bone or kill me… I will meet Sirian at all cost… as we flew with great speed; we reached our destination within a day as we then decided to search the whole area for the location of Sirian. As we look around we felt deep malice pervading the area… it seems we were not alone… countless of magic beast with the rank of A to S came with the leader in front who was an X rank… he then approaches a big tree and slashes it as a portal appeared… Nelus twitched, seeing the portal…
Nelus: She’s there…
Rezald: What!?
As Rezald tries to approach them with great speed the beast spread its tentacles inside the portal as a huge amount of spheres of light came out… Nelus used God’s eyes at the beast and one of the spheres that he somehow felt a connection to…

Nelus: She’s inside that one… (Lilias… one of the immortal beings of Alxia… they can only give birth once every 700 years… and during that time they are most vulnerable… to think that they’re barrier got so weak that a demon beast manage to sense them all the way from the land of darkness… and it brought some others with it.)
The demons beast looks like a Cerberus except it has five heads with ten tentacles like tails with mouths. As one of it approaches the sphere Rezald intercepts it with his spear Lasteon. Nelus then signaled me that he will take care of the others so just focus on the demon beast… as this too is a test of fate… fate is fair but seems to be against what is suppose to… fate has given you this chance so to be worthy of this chance you must use just as much of you’re determination to overcome the tribulations that come with it. Nelus then casts Spatial barrier around the beast and I… as the countless of beast approaches the spheres Nelus walked in between them… and glared… it seems that somehow Nelus has change a bit too… Nelus broke out a cold expression…
Nelus: So there are at least 300 000 of you… I apologize but this matter is something Rezald needs to overcome so don’t interfere…
Sensing the danger… the enormous group of beast stopped from advancing… some of them tries to distract Nelus as some tried to use it as a diversion to get near the spheres… Nelus then moved as if a blur as that group was obliterated into nothingness… the other beasts then decided to run as they felt with their instincts that this man in front of them is someone they cannot defeat with sheer numbers... Nelus then closes his eyes and cross his arms waiting for Rezald…
Cartis: U-uhm… thank you for saving us… is there something we can give you? If it is within our power then…
Nelus: You’re a Lilias right?
Cartis: Eh? How did you know?
Nelus: I don’t need to hide it from you… as you are all one of the original beings I made after all…
Nelus then releases his mana enveloping them with it… they then showed shocked expressions as they returned to their humanoid forms despite not within their world inside the portal…
Cartis: The father’s mana!! Are you perhaps… the great father…? Only our world is full of this mana… that is why only there can we achieve our physical forms…
Nelus: Yes… I am your creator… also… it seems I have to apologize to you all for just leaving…
Cartis: No… you still came for us and I am happy that you did great father.
Nelus: I can trust you that you will not say a word about me.
Cartis: We all promise…
Nelus: Another reason why I came here was because of the soul I gave you.
Cartis: You mean… that miraculous soul…?
Nelus: Yes…
Cartis: So… the… great father… was the… one who gave…
The beautiful woman who had white soft skin and white hair with a few blue outlines started crying… the reason was that as a Lilias grow beyond maturity which is between 600-900 years of their life it becomes harder for them to bear children, they only have within 300 hundred years after reaching the age 600 to conceive. Once you reach 900 it was already near impossible to conceive… they will need to wait another set of 700 years for another chance which in turn will only raise their chances by a small margin. As time passes the chances becomes smaller and smaller… Cartis was already more than 200 000 years old… for a Lilias to conceive what they need is a soul to embed inside them and nourish it with the fathers mana to create a body for it… as Nelus’ mana has creation properties within it as he was a God King of creation after all. A special soul appearing so suddenly in front of Cartis during such a crucial time, she thought that the great father has blessed her and she was right. She was deeply thankful towards Nelus.
Nelus: That fated soul belongs to someone who is important to Rezald… this trial is for him… my only request is for him to be given the chance to name your daughter as her symbolia.
Cartis: As a symbolia he needs to do something for our race that we all will recognized as a heroic deed… can he do it? That beast has been terrorizing us for generations killing our brethren… he only seems human…
Nelus: He can do it.
Nelus smiled gently as he looks at the battle taking place inside the barrier.
Rezald rushes at the beast as he thrust the spear on its eyes. The beast then struggles as it slashes its claws at Rezald. Out of his body splashed some blood as he grinned; it was stronger than what he expected. His eyes glows an emerald luster as he thrust the blunt part of the spear towards the ground. Pointed pillars came out from the ground as the beast barely managed to avoid it… Rezald then used
The beast then rushes towards Rezald as it tries to bite Rezald. Rezald pierces one of the heads to stop it from advancing… he then gathers mana around him as he solidifies it with his element… it was the element armor!! The beast then shuddered at the sudden spike in Rezald’s power as they try to kill him using all of the tails. Rezald remained calm… his yellow eye glowed like a golden star predicting the movements of the tail like time has slowed. He then thrust, swing and parry each of the tail easily… his mana was running out at a faster rate due to the beast demonic aura as if it was sucking out his power…
He still smiled as he clenches his fist to try controlling his mana from leaking out… it was one of Nelus’ most basic techniques Mana Control, even if it isn’t as formidable as Nelus’ it was enough. He then transforms the spear into its greatsword form. His expression turned more serious as he tightens his grip on his sword… he then disappears with great speed… it was with the help of gravity magic lightening his body… he then increased the swords weight as he slashes it down at the tails severing all of it in one fell swoop. The beast became enraged as it treated its tails as if family… all of the tails have a mind of their own, not just the heads. In its anguish it lets out a deafening howl as demonic energy started gathering… as I saw that it was getting too dangerous I decided to act… I approached the barrier as Rezald signaled me to stop he grinned fearlessly.
He gathered all of his remaining mana to finish it all as the beast has abandoned all of its defenses. Rezald then transforms the sword into a staff as yellow energy started to gather. The beast sneered at Rezald as he thought it was just light magic but it was in fact holy magic! Which was leaps and bounds stronger and more potent than light magic… it was a race against time… who will strike first… they were both charging their attacks…
Rezald: Yaaahhhh!!!
Demonic Beast: Grrrr!!!
Rezald then raises his staff as within the barrier a bright light pervaded it as the beast was burned to ashes because of the intense light it was a spell called
Rezald: I did... it.
Nelus: Yes you did...
All the Lilias cheered as the beast who has been tormenting them for generations was gone... Cartis then approaches him...
Cartis: You have proven yourself worthy to be called our hero... you are now granted the title "Symbolia" do you all agree?
Every Lilias-in-unison: We agree!!
Title gained: Symbolia
Cartis: I heard that the soul inside me is from someone precious to you... will you name my child for me?
Cartis smiled gently at Rezald as Rezald look at Nelus reluctantly as Nelus nodded. Rezald then smiled gently as tears once again flowed... his heart once again beats faster as he said...
Rezald: I will name her "Sirian" which came from the word Siri which means "Loyal Flower".
Cartis: What a wonderful name. I hereby name this child Sirian Nial,
Soul Status: Fated Curse Lifted
