Hero’s Bloodline

With Mitz becoming the King of the Holy Empire on the date of 968, and his Queen, Angela the Saint, together they ruled the lands for 48 years until Mitz was too old to keep governing, same with Angela..

With the crown prince taking over, Mitz and Angela had a total of 13 children, all with the blood of the hero, Mitz..

With the Hero’s bloodline, the 13 children could use either “Crescent Moon Magic” from Mitz, or “Light Magic” from Angela..

All children were either blessed with the path of the sword or magic, sometimes both, but none were as good as when Mitz was on his prime, the monsters have lessened compared to 62 years ago, reason of this was because of the work of the Expedition Force headed by Mitz and his party..

After this, the bloodline of Mitz, continued to spread all over, even some commoners whose ancestors have married a royal, were born with the same magic and talent of the sword as his bloodline, not once in history someone from his blood was born talentless..

They were all written down in history for something, but only the King with the pure bloodline of the Hero was able to use the Holy sword, Kravel..

This was the sword Mitz used to slay the Demon Lord, it’s blade clad in a Golden color, it looked like a blade that has never been used, it was perfect for Mitz since it could channel “Mana” properly and is a sturdy but sharp blade, perfect for a Magic Swordsman like Mitz..

But.. all good things come to an end, the Holy Empire fell because of a tyrant who’ve succeeded the throne after killing his brother, the people revolted against him, but since he was a pure blood, he could wield Kravel, he slew multiple of his own subjects, until he was brought down by the army of their allied countries..

The Holy Empire was already small compared to it’s peak, but now, it can’t even compare to a medium sized kingdom.. it has already fallen, it’s people migrated to other countries seeking shelter and food, its army, either merged with other armies or formed their own mercenary group..

Unfortunately this was how the great Holy Empire fell..

There were still people alive with the blood of the hero at this day and age, Viscount Lorraine, head of Peripetia.. Elliot, our leader.. and multiple others from many different countries..

(Lorraine? I think I’ve heard that name somewhere…)

The scene started to show a girl with red hair..

“Rag-, Ragriel!”

“Huh? What?”

“Stop dazing off! We’re in the middle of a lesson here, you need to know this to get by you greenhorn..”

The class snickered at me..

“Continuing where we left off”

The Lorraine family is known for one of the best sword styles in the world, Moon Blade, it’s familiar to what our leader Elliot uses, but different at the same time..

They might be able to use the same magic but the way they use it differs from person to person, like the Lorraine family’s graceful moon blade and Elliot’s rough but unpredictable pattern of the sword..

Head Instructor William then whispered..

“Our leader can be quite a douche, but he’s a kind guy”

Smack~!

“Ouch!”

“What the hell were you saying to these kids behind my back?”

It was Elliot standing right behind William..

“Nothing, I just told them how nice a person you are”

“Ehem, anyways”

Because the Crescent Moon Magic was effective for hunting smaller types of monsters and humanoid figures, it is not an ideal magic to be used for bigger creatures, one of the main reasons for the victory against the demon lord..

This is also why the Hero’s Party and the Expedition Force was formed, to aid the hero in reaching the Demon Lord at the end of the continent, the main firepower against those bigger monsters was magic, there was 4 main kinds of magics, Fire, Wind, Ice and Thunder.. there were also sub class magics like, Metal, Water, Rock, Shadow and Light..

The Crescent Moon Magic isn’t counted in this stereotype considering this is only accessible to those with the hero’s blood..

Every person is born with at least one type of magic, two if they’re lucky and three if they’re a genius.. only two people in history ever had three types of magic, The Great Sage Merlin and Namora, Mage of the hero’s party..

There are also special cases of people being born without magic, these people are called “attuneless”, they used to be looked down upon 62 years ago before the disaster..

This was then changed by one person, who they all now look up to, “Dariel The Berserk”..

He slays giant monsters with a swing of his sword twice his size, rushing into armies of monsters just to clear them out in a few hours, his build was nothing to scoff at, he was scarred all over and muscles made from extended use of his great sword..

His sword was made of dark steel, meant to be sturdier than normal steel and lasts longer..

Even though his sword was made with one of the strongest minerals one could ever get, it was chipped all over.. it looks like it’s been used for several years, even before the disaster..

(Just how strong is Dariel? For even William to talk about him like this..)

If Mitz was the best Magic Swordsman, then Dariel was the best Swordsman..
