Jixus's skin suddenly began to turn red, and quite strong heat was spreading around him. And inside of his eyes began to shine a white light.

If he used this blasting spell, I wouldn't be able to get out of here. I thought about touching him and throwing him away, but I couldn't touch him because of the heat he was emitting.

I thought about taking off my clothes and wrapping them in my hand so I could throw him away. But that's when Lezlie showed up,

"Ryuu! Stop, don't touch him!"

Lezlie immediately approached me,

"The spell he's using right now is called The "Totsu" spell, and if you touch it, you'll explode before you have a chance to throw him. So we must proceed with caution."

"He's about to blow himself up! We have to do something now. Or a lot of people will die."

"I can stop him with a shield spell that I can create. But I need a lot of energy to be able to cast such a powerful shield spell."

"In short, we need my energy."

"But Ryuu, using this spell is very dangerous for the human body. It could even end in death."

"There's nothing we can do in the situation we're in. You know we have to do this."

I turned my back to her and said, "Come on, there is no time to lose."

She nodded, "You are right, Ryuu. We have to do this for them."

She slowly put her hand on my back, And suddenly I began to feel that all the energy in my body had been absorbed.

After Lezlie's words, I felt an incredible pain in my body. It was like I was dying. I was screaming involuntarily, I felt burns at every point in my body. When I turned my eyes slightly back, there was a really unspeakable sight. Jixus exploded before my eyes and continued to explode for a while. But I couldn't feel anything. I was almost unconscious. Looking at the view of the kingdom, I lost my balance and began to fall from the palace, my eyes closed as I fell.

When I completed the spell, Ryuu lost consciousness and control. I frantically tried to catch him, but it was too late. He was falling fast towards the ground. Realizing that I couldn't save him in time, I watched in horror as he plummeted towards the ground. Just as he was about to hit the ground, something incredibly fast swooped in and caught him, leaving him safely on the ground.

I rushed over to Ryuu, fearing that the rescuer might be an enemy.

"Ryuu!" I called out.

After hearing my call, the mysterious person left Ryuu's side and approached me.

"Thank you for saving my kingdom. It must have been a lot of trouble for you," He said.

I was wary of the stranger and asked, "Sorry, but I don't know who you are. And what did you mean by 'Your Kingdom'?"

The stranger replied, "I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself. I am King Aoin. The current and first king of the first kingdom."

The man standing in front of me looked nothing like the king I had seen before, he looked much healthier and more normal now. It was as if he had become a completely different person.

"But how can that be?" I asked.

"It was because of the magic they used on me. I've been trapped in magic for so long that my body lost its shape. By the time you and your friend broke the spell, thanks to you, I had my personality and body back," King Aoin explained.

As I turned my attention to Ryuu, I saw that he was breathing but barely conscious. I rushed over to him and checked him for injuries.

The king said, "I checked his wounds. He's seriously hurt. He has one or two fractures. Somehow, his body endured that explosion. If he were a normal person, he would be dead by now. But don't worry, my men will take care of your friend. And he'll be fine in no time."

"Thank you for your attention," I said.

"While they take care of your friend, there are a few things I need to ask you," The king said.

Feeling torn, I agreed to stay with the king and answer his questions, even though I wanted to be by Ryuu's side.

"When I was under the spell that Jixus had cast on me, I could still hear everything that was being said," the king said. "That means I heard what you were talking about with the First Epic. I know how many of you there are, where you come from, I know you want to fight. And I know you declared war. Now tell me, how much time do we have for war?"

"Two days, but if we wait for the others to recover and consider that The First Epic is now going to its own castle, things may be different," I replied.

"Then we have to get there on time," the king said decisively.
