Legacy Of Ennea

Chapter 55 - Auxillium Maxwell

=== Jeremiel's Point of View ===

"My name is Auxillium Maxwell" the old man with red eyes said...

I opened my jaws really big...

"T-That is impossible..." I said...

That man looked at me...

"Why? And who are you?" Auxillium asked me... and then, I return to my sense...

"I am Jeremiel Maxwell..." I said...

"So, you are the one that is controlling this clouds?" He asked me...

I nodded...

"Wait! I thought Auxillium Maxwell is dead!" Evelyn said to him...

"I am dead... this is just... my magic, I left behind..." Auxillium said...

Now everyone looked even more surprised....

We never heard such magic...

"Combination of Fire, Holy, and Wind... with Fire and Holy as the dominant, so it created thunder and then applied with Wind Magic..." Auxillium said...

But no one understand...

Except...

"T-Teach me that!" I said

"Jeremy! You aren't going anywhere!" Evelyn said angrily...

Auxillium laughed...

"You are indeed my bloodline..." Auxillium said to me...

"Everyone... you can let your guard down..." I told everyone...

But everyone still looked wary about Auxillium...

"J-Jeremiel-sama? Are you sure?" Umbriel asked me...

I nodded...

"That's fine... and can you prepare us a room to converse..." I asked Europa...

She nodded...

All of the soldiers pull their weapon, and so does Evelyn...

Evelyn, Auxillium and I are walking through the sky palace...

"Can I asked something?" I asked Auxillium

"Of course... you may ask anything..." Auxillium said...

He looks like a kind old man...

"How did you die?" I asked...

But then he shook his head...

"I don't know either..." He said...

Now both Evelyn and I looked confused...

"But all I know, is that the Reudora Race is behind this..." Auxillium said...

Reudora?

"Wait... Reudora is a Race?" I asked...

But then Auxillium stop me from talking...

"T-This Aura..." He said in surprised...

"What?" I asked...

Is it probably Maxim is back?

Then I can see a Pegasus arrived on our garden...

The three of us decided to go to the garden... but unexpectedly, Auxillium run faster than both Evelyn and I....

What's wrong with him...

And then...

Maxim and Auxillium looked into each other...

"M-Moore? Is that you?" Auxillium asked...

"W-What? No... how do you know about my father?" Maxim asked...

"Oh... I thought you are my son..." Auxillium said to Maxim with sad face...

Now Maxim become much more speechless...

"A-Are you?! Auxillium Maxwell?" A blue haired boy asked...

That bit is Euclio... Nicolas's friend...

"That is true..." Auxillium said to Euclio...

As expected from Euclio...

He then looked at me...

"N-Nico?" He said to me...

And I looked like an idiot now... but my wife is laughing...

"S-Sorry... I mean Jeremiel-san... nice to meet you..." Euclio said to me...

I nodded...

"Nice to meet you too Euclio-kun... first thing first... sorry for the welcome..." I said

Euclio looked at me in confusion...

"Since we got a very special guest here... I do not expect bumping into him..." I said while looking at Auxillium...

Which is still sniffing Maxim... Maxim looked a bit... troubled...

I give him a smile...

"Jeremiel-sama... the room is ready..." Europa told me...

I nodded...

"Thank you Europa..." I told her...

She nodded...

But then she looked at Euclio...

"That's an exception..." Evelyn said to Europa... and she nodded...

Euclio looked confuse...

"This sky kingdom is supposed to be for the House Maxwell and the Seraphim Race only..." I told Euclio while patting him...

"But don't worry... you are a Maxwell right!" I said to him...

And he nodded...

"W-What? He is?" Auxillium asked...

Now he start sniffing Euclio...

Euclio looked very confuse right now...

"Wait... he is! Also, he smell like Maximia Euron..." Auxillium said...

"H-Hey! You know her?!" Maxim asked...

"Of course! I am" Auxillium said proudly...

He doesn't looked like a... legend...

But he is...

He is the founder of Barrier Magic...

He is the first human that ever use Fusion Magic...

And the founder of Maxwell...

"Euron?" Euclio asked...

Auxillium nodded...

"Oh, I have to go..." Auxillium said...

"What?" all of us in unison...

Europa looked speechless...

She just prepared the meal for all of us...

"Why?" Maxim asked...

"You see, I am dead... this is my magic left in this world... and let me see... I have used 30% of my magic... maybe I can meet you twice more..." Auxillium said...

T-That is...

"Wait..." I told Auxillium...

I come closer to him... and try to give some of my mana...

But then he stopped me...

"That is useless..." he said...

"Your total mana in your body is just 5% of mine... that is useless..." Auxillium said...

5%?!

And everyone still thought that I am a great mage...

Now even Maxim looked surprised...

"Let me tell you one last thing..." Auxillium said to us...

"This world... is just a plaything for Reudora Empire..." Auxillium said...

Plaything?

"What do you mean?" I asked...

He looked at me seriously...

"There is a prophecy during my age... where it is said that Reudora Empire could be destroyed by my descendant... which generation are you?" Auxillium asked me...

Prophecy?

"Generation?" Maxim asked...

We are still in the garden... forgot about the meal...

"Maxim... you are my grandson... you are the third generation... while I am the first..." Auxillium said...

"Then, I am the seventh..." I told Auxillium...

He nodded while thinking...

"Then... the time is near, before the real Reudora Empire come to destroy you..." Auxillium said...

Real Reudora?

"Hey Hey... what do you mean?" Maxim asked...

"Jeremiel? Isn't it?" Auxillium asked me...

I nodded...

"You will have three sons... one is red, one is blue, and one is black..." Auxillium said...

Nico, Jaxson and Ed...

"I mentioned from the weakest to strongest..." Auxillium said...

....

Now both of Evelyn and I looked speechless

"First of all... Jeremiel-sama has 3 sons already..." Europa told Auxillium...

And Auxillium looked surprised...

"Then... how old is your first son?" Auxillium asked...

"17..." I said...

Auxillium nodded...

"There is still time... the three of them must grow stronger... they are the only one that could save this small world we are living..." Auxillium said...

Small world?

Then, we can see Auxillium is fading...

"Oh, one more thing..." Auxillium said...

"Don't ever go beyond the map... you will be dead..." Auxillium remind us...

Beyond the map...

"H-Hey... you left too much puzzle!" I said... and he smiled...

What is going on

"Beyond the map?" I asked...

He nodded...

We can see Auxillium's feet is fading already... And it is slowly fading to his body...

"Good luck to all of you... make all of the eighth generation strong... stronger than ever..." Auxillium said...

Wait...

Actually...

He never said Navroth at all...

"Hey, who is our enemy?" I asked him...

Now Auxillium looked like an idiot...

"Reudora Empire! You idiot! You don't know ou-" before he finished his sentences... he has gone...

Now everyone looked at me in confusion...

"Who is Reudora Empire?" Euclio asked me...

"It is Reudora Kingdom you idiot!" Maxim said...

"No... it is different..." I said

Everyone looked at me...

"What? Don't you get it?" I asked...

Everyone shook their head...

Even Euclio?

"So... he asked me before... which generation am I? Which means that he don't know what is happening in this world after his dead..." I said...

Everyone nodded in agreement...

"But then... he said something about Reudora Empire... You see, in the past there was no Reudora Kingdom... so I guess there supposed to be something different..." I said

Euclio nodded in understand...

Evelyn looked at me in confusion...

"I-I will check the food..." Europa said and left...

S-She is running!

Maxim looked at me seriously...

It seems that he get it now!

"Um, can you repeat what you said..." Maxim asked...

"Nevermind... Let's eat first..." I said in disappointment...

....

In the dining room...

"Let me wake Jaxson up..." Evelyn said to me...

I nodded...

Then I looked at Euclio...

"Euclio... how is Qiteron Kingdom?" I asked Euclio...

He looked at me...

"We were attacked by Alduir... but thanks to you and Maxim, we successfully defend our kingdom as well as saving my life..." Euclio said but he is down...

"Don't worry... protecting you is like protecting my own son..." I said to him and he looked happy now...

=== Euclio Point of View ===

I am so happy, being called as one of Jeremiel's son! I never thought the family that I admired even thought me as one of their son...

Then, I can see Evelyn return... with...

Huh...

Who is that...

That boy looked surprised after seeing me...

"I-Is he an Ocean Race?" he asked...

"Hey! Jaxson! That is not polite..." Evelyn said...

And he suddenly looked down...

He looked alike Nico.. but he has blue eyes...

Like Alduir?

"Jaxson... what do you say?" Jeremiel asked...

"My name is Jaxson Maxwell... and I am 10..." the boy said...

Maxwell?

His eyes... he looked like Alduir... but he has black hair, like the rest of the family...

"Euclio?" Evelyn called me...

"Ahh sorry... my name is Euclio Qiteron... and I am 17..." I said to him...

"Are you Nicolas's and Ed's brother?" I asked him

He nodded...

He looked like Ed... nevermind... he looked like Nicolas...

Wait... both has the same face either...

They are indeed brothers...

"Tell me... Euclio... what is your first thought after seeing Jaxson?" Jeremiel asked me...

"Hmmm... his eyes?" I asked him...

Jeremiel nodded...

"The same as Alduir isn't it?" Jeremiel asked...

"Yes..." I said...

Both of them has weird eyes... not just a normal blue eyes, but it is shining...

Jaxson is still looking at me... but then he deactivated it... his eyes... and it stop shining...

"Y-You could do that?" I asked him...

He looked at me...

"Of course... or else I will run out of mana..." Jaxson said with flat voice...

He looks like Ed during our days back in school...

"I see... what is the use of your eyes?" I asked Jaxson...

"I could see the future up to 10s..." Jaxson said with flat voice...

He is... Ed...

Jeremiel looked at me with a troubled smile...

"I am sorry for his rudeness... he never really want to talk with other people..." Jeremiel said to me...

"I see... that's okay..." I said to Jeremiel...

And I see Jaxson being scolded by Evelyn...

I looked at Maxim... and he is still eating...

I thought we just ate in Qiteron Kingdom...

"Euclio... did you understand Auxillium's word?" Jeremiel asked...

"Reudora Empire?" I asked

He nodded...

Also... about something beyond the current map...

"So... our world is not fully explored..." I said...

"Yes... and beyond the world we know..." Jeremiel said...

"Reudora Empire?" I asked...

He nodded...

"That is a good guess..." Jeremiel said to me with a smile...

Then I looked around...

And see a different kind of race that I have seen served us...

Those are the Sky Race... the Seraphim...

"Can I asked you something?" I asked Jeremiel

"Sure... anything..." Jeremiel said in a friendly way...

"How did you meet with the Sky Race?" I asked Jeremiel

Evelyn and Maxim suddenly looked at me...

Jaxson is still eating... but he looked at me as well...

Even the bodyguard? Or maybe his commander looked surprised...

Jeremiel looked at me with a smile...

"We met after I created the kingdom..." Jeremiel explained...

He then began his explanation...

"After I created the kingdom... I actually tried to find help from anyone... did you know my story already? About how I left Nico?" Jeremiel asked...

I nodded.... he showed us on the pool with his clairvoyant...

"Yes... after I left Epius and also, we left Ed behind... We know that, staying on the ground is dangerous..." Jeremiel said...

"Why?" I asked...

"Navroth is the ruler of the land... she doesn't care if we left her land... but if we stay there... we are still a threat for her..." Jeremiel explained...

"Which is why I created my own place... this cloud is made by Fusion Magic... Fire and Water... then combined once more by using Earth Magic... which is why we can step on this cloud..." Jeremiel explained...

Wow... as expected from Nico's Tousan...

"Then... after I created my own kingdom... I searched for help from other place. If the world can't help me, I have to go beyond the world, that's what I thought..." Jeremiel said

Beyond the world?!

"S-So... Does it mean!" I said

"Yes... I go beyond from the current known civilization... and found..." Jeremiel said and hanged the story...

"Nothing..." Jeremiel said...

"Nothing?" I asked...

He nodded...

"It is all only mountains... but then, we found a mountain. And on that mountain, the Seraphim people lives..." Jeremiel said...

"And we were so poor back then... until Jeremiel-sama found us..." Europa said...

"Yes... and Jeremiel-sama give us food..." Umbriel said...

Jeremiel nodded...

"And so, I asked them to live with us... and they accepted it.." Jeremiel said...

I see... but, it doesn't make any sense at all...

I mean...

"Where did your race come from?" I asked Europa...

Europa looked a bit surprised, and she looked at Jeremiel, asking for confirmation...

Jeremiel nodded, and Europa looked back at me...

"We don't know as well... but we lived there for hundreds of year... and we never left the place since our ancestors forbid us to pass further..." Europa said...

"But why did you leave and join him?" I asked Europa

"We have this prophecy..." Europa said...

"Where, if a man with red eyes born, he is our savior... and it is true... Jeremiel-sama found us and gave us food... which is why, the whole Seraphim decided to follow him and serve him... like we did..." Europa said...

"I-I see... thank you for telling the story, and I am sorry for asking too much..." I said to both Jeremiel and Europa...

"No problem... as long as Jeremiel-sama allows it..." Europa said...

Both of us looked at Jeremiel...

But he looks like thinking...

"since our ancestors forbid us to pass further..." Jeremiel murmering...

What?

"HAHAHA" Jeremiel suddenly laughed and he stood up...

"W-What's wrong Tousan?" Jaxson asked...

He looked a bit surprised...

But Evelyn is smiling...

"It seems that he just found something..." Evelyn said to Jaxson, and also to me...

Jeremiel then pointed his hand at me...

"Follow me..." Jeremiel said...

"W-Wait... Jeremy! He hasn't finished his meal!" Evelyn said to Jeremiel...

"A-Ah... I am sorry..." Jeremy apologized...

"That's fine... we have eaten back there in QIteron Kingdom..." I said while staring at Maxim...

And Maxim ignored me...

"Then, let's go!" Jeremiel said and I joined him....

"W-Wait... I want to join too!" Jaxson said and he stood up...

Evelyn looked surprised... also Jeremiel...

But then Jeremiel forbid Jaxson...

"Not yet Jaxson... you will join us when the time is right..." Jeremiel said to Jaxson...

"B-But..."

"Come here... let's finish up your food first..." Evelyn said to Jaxson... and that boy looked really sad...

I then remember when I was younger...

"Tousan! Where are you going!" I asked

"To the Human Continent... there are several stuff that I have to do..." Tousan said...

"Human Continent! I never been there! Can I join you?" I asked...

"No... not yet Euclio, you will join us when you are stronger..." Tousan said...

And I believe, I displayed the same face as his...

"I think... it is okay for him to learn..." I said...

Both Jeremiel and Evelyn looked at me...

Europa looked at me as well...

"You should not tell Jeremy-sama what to do!" Europa said angrily...

"No, that is a suggestion... and I guess it is true..." Jeremiel said as he looked at Evelyn...

And Evelyn nodded as well...

When I looked at Jaxson, he looked happy...

"Let's go..." Jeremiel said asking me to follow him...

He left, and Jaxson walk beside me...

"Thank you..." Jaxson said...

"Don't worry... my father was like that either..." I said to Jaxson...

"I see... then what did you do?" Jaxson asked me...

I looked at Jaxson, and he is watching me closely...

Is he asking me for a suggestion?

"I trained and keep training until he notice me...

Jaxson looked confuse...

"and he decided to choose me as the next heir, surpassing my elder brother..." I said to Jaxson and patted his head...

Now, he is really happy after hearing my story

He looked like he is interested in doing so...

Is he planning to take over Jeremiel's throne from Nico?

I guess Nico won't mind...

"Did you just just thought about getting the throne from your brother?" I asked Jaxson...

"H-How did you know? Is that a Bios Eyes too?" Jaxson asked me in surprised...

Oh! He think that my blue eyes is the same as his...

"No, my eyes are just a normal blue eyes" I said...

"Then, how do you know it?" Jaxson asked...

"I can see it from your face..." I said...

And now, he looked confused...

"Don't worry... I believe Nicolas and Ed are not interested with the throne..." I said...

Jaxson looked at me... he looks a bit confuse...

"What's more than a throne?" Jaxson asked...

"Friends..." I said instantly...

Compared to the throne, I prefer to spend my life with my friend...

Now he looked much more confuse than before...

But I understand why, he never leave this place for his whole life... no friends, only with his parents... when he saw me the first time, it seems that I am the first ocean race that he saw...

That would be very hard for him to understand...

"Here we are..." Jeremiel said, and we are in a room...

The room has a white color and the floor is...

Yes, the floor of the room is made of clouds as usual, like the other room...

But, the middle part of this room is made of stone... and we can see a map of the whole world on the stone...

The world we know...

"We are right here... above Qiteron Kingdom..." Jeremiel said while standing on Qiteron Kingdom in the map...

"I found them here... above Aerios Kingdom..." Jeremiel said while moving to the place where he found the Seraphim...

I looked at the map, and above Aerios Kingdom, all I can see are mountains...

"Only mountains?" I asked...

Jeremiel nodded...

"Is this the map where you have traveled to?" I asked again

He nodded once more...

"So, you never pass this place..." I said while standing on the edge of the map above Aerios Kingdom...

Jeremiel nodded...

"That is the place where we met the Seraphim..." Jeremiel said...

"And you decided to return?" I asked...

"Yes, the Seraphim forbid us to go..." Jeremiel said...

Hmmm both Auxillium and the Seraphim forbid us to left the map...

"Let's keep it that way... we should follow what they said..." Jeremiel said...

I nodded...

"And now, about the prophecy..." Jeremiel said to me...

"Prophecy? What is that?" I asked him...

"Auxillium said that the seventh generation will have 3 sons, one red, blue and black..." Jeremiel said...

Hmmm... is it interpreting their eyes color?

"Yes, it is the eyes color..." Jeremiel said...

"Wait... how did he know?" Jaxson stopped us...

Jeremiel looked at him...

"It is call as the prophecy... something that will happen in the future..." Jeremiel explained to his son...

"And Auxillium?! Our ancestor?" Jaxson asked once again...

Jeremiel nodded...

"He was here, for a while..." Jeremiel said...

"Where did he go? I want to meet him!" Jaxson said...

Hmmm how do we meet again...

I looked at Jeremiel and he give a thought about it...

"I guess... a storm cloud? We found him when we entered a storm cloud..." Jeremiel said...

I see...

"We can only meet him twice left?" I asked Jeremiel and he nodded...

"Tousan! How about the eyes?" Jaxson changed the topic...

"Oh right! The eyes!" Jeremiel said while patting Jaxson head...

"What about it?" I asked...

"Who do you think is the strongest between my sons?" I asked

Now Jaxson looked at me...

Ed is a mage and swordsman, he suits more than Nico... but compared to Nicolas's massive mana... Ed will sure lost in a one on one combat...

So Nico wins...

But if we compare it with Jaxson, he can see the future for several seconds... which is very useful for a swordsman...

"Have you learn Swordsmanship?" I asked Jaxson...

But he shook his head

"Witchcraft?" I asked...

And again, he shook his head...

That would be hard, so I change my question

"Swordsmanship or Witchcraft?" I asked Jaxson...

He then give a thought and looked at his father, Jeremiel...

But Jeremiel looked away after Jaxson looked at him, such a father...

"Witchcraft!" Jaxson said...

Witchcraft...

Eyes of Bios using Witchcraft is not really effective, but okay...

"I guess Nico should be the strongest..." I said to Jeremiel...

Jeremiel looked at me and smile...

"The prophet told Auxillium that Nico would be the weakest among my sons..." Jeremiel said to me...

Nico! The weakest?!

He is the strongest friend I ever know!

"I thought Ed would be the weakest?" I asked...

He nodded...

"But actually, Ed is the strongest..." Jeremiel said...

Ed?!

I don't know, but all I know is that he use [FLASHBANG] and then kill everyone with his sword. And if the enemy become more difficult, Ed will use [SHOCKWAVE]

"Euclio... why did you leave Nico?" Jeremiel asked me...

"It's because of..." I said a bit down...

My kingdom has a stupid king...

"I want to control Qiteron Kingdom, so that we can help both Perius and Aerios Kingdom..." I said...

Jeremiel come closer and patted me...

"I am so proud of you, then... do what you want, and take this..." Jeremiel said and give a golden spherical thing...

It has weird pattern on it, and when I hold it... it seems that it is a steel, or maybe made of gold...

"What is this?" I asked Jeremiel...

He smiled...

"I am not only a good mage, but I am the best Enhancer..." Jeremiel said...

"You can find Nico and I using that devices" Jeremiel said...

What?!

Did he just?! Enhance a Fusion Magic to this thing?!

And the Fusion Magic is...

"Clairvoyant?!" I asked...

And he nodded...

"But not only that!" Jeremiel said interestedly...

"If you break it... it will teleported you, and only you... to Nico immediately..." Jeremiel said...

He is truly the best Enhancer... I never see something like this, I mean, Alduir did that when he was fighting against Maxim...

Enhancement Magic, when you applied magic elements to an object...

Such as Barrier Magic to Armors, and Alduir's device equipped with Teleportation Magic...

But this device, he equipped both Fusion Magic, Clairvoyant and Teleportatiom Magic...

"I can use it only once?" I asked Jeremiel...

He nodded...

"Yes for the teleportation magic, but Clairvoyant... as many as you want..." Jeremiel said...

"Also, you can only check me using your Clairvoyant at midnight... I will deactivate my barrier magic. starting from today, we are activating Barrier Magic, Navroth will hate us now..." Jeremiel said...

"Navroth?" Jaxson asked...

Jeremiel nodded...

"He is the one who separate us from your brothers..." Jeremiel said to him...

Jaxson nodded...

It seems that Jaxson is slowly learning...

"I see... and what do you want me to do?" I asked Jeremiel...

He looked surprised... but then he say...

"Edmund's eye... there supposed to be some kind of mystery on it..." Jeremiel said...

Ed's eye?

"Nico has Maxwell Eyes, Jaxson has Bios Eyes, Ed... he is normal, but Auxillium said that he is the strongest one... I believe there is something with his eyes..." Jeremiel said...

"Maybe he just have a strong power? Or maybe magic? I mean, he is smart..." I said...

Jeremiel give a thought...

"That could be, but even now, you are still thinking that Nico is stronger than Ed right? I believe there must be something we don't know, or even Ed don't know..." Jeremiel said...

"Oh, and here..." Jeremiel gives me a small bottle...

"What is that?" I asked...

"Give this to Ed... so that I can mark him..." Jeremiel said and I took it from his hand...

"Mark?" I asked...

"I have marked both Nico and you, so that I can teleport to you at any time..." Jeremiel said...

"Also, Jaxson and Evelyn... so Marking is not only to a place, but also to a person..." Jeremiel continues...

Today, I do learn a lot from him...

"I see... I will give it to him..." I said to Jeremiel...

He gives me my thanks...

I looked at Jaxson, and he still looked confuse...

"Can I learn witchcraft from you?" Jaxson asked me...

"You should ask to your father..." I said to Jaxson...

"He never want to teach me..." Jaxson said...

I looked at Jeremiel and he smiled like he has no mistake...

That is a mistake!

I decided to talk to Jeremiel...

"I think you should start to train Jaxson..." I said to Jeremiel...

He looked at me with sad face...

"Jaxson... can you leave us alone?" Jeremiel said...

"But..." Jaxson said...

But after seeing his father's face he nodded...

"Okay..." he said, and then he looked at me and waved his hand at me...

I waved my hand again...

"See you later..." I said... and he smiled...

He left the room and Jeremiel sit on the floor...

"W-What are you doing?" I asked...

"I am tired of the fight you know..." Jeremiel said...

And he let a sigh...

"I want him to be a peaceful King one day, and rule the sky..." Jeremiel said...

"And you do not teach him about witchcraft or even swordsmanship?" I asked...

He shook his head...

"I hate violence... and always hate it..." Jeremiel said...

"I don't understand..." I said...

What is wrong with him?

"I have been planning this for more 17 years, but when I have Jaxson... I have no d.e.s.i.r.e to fight..." Jeremiel said in a tired way...

I think I know how it feels... he has been living in this peaceful place and he never been attacked at all... so he is actually living peacefully here...

"I believe you understand me..." Jeremiel said to me...

I nodded...

"Then, go to the ground..." I said to Jeremiel...

He looked at me...

"Ground? Why?" Jeremiel asked me...

"This place where you live here is too peaceful, which is why you have no d.e.s.i.r.e to fight... but looked at your sons... they are desperately fighting..." I said to him...

He give a thought...

"That would be great... but why don't I just picked them up from the fight and bring them to lives here..." Jeremiel said and change his view to the floor...

That is selfish!

"I know that it is selfish... but I never care for other, beside my family... which is why I am a Maxwell... not a Perius..." Jeremiel said...

"Perius is a Maxwell right?" I asked

"Yes, they are... but Perius loves everyone, and also... loved by everyone... but we, Maxwells only care about our family..." Jeremiel said...

"The only reason that I join the fight is because Navroth took both of my sons away..." Jeremiel said...

"Both? How about Ed?" I asked...

Technically, Ed was not taken by Navroth...

"Yes, Navroth made us feel insecure... which is why, I have to left Ed behind..." Jeremiel explained...

"But, I feel secure already in this place, and my only thought is, taking Nico and Ed... and run away from this world..." Jeremiel said

"But?" I asked...

"They won't run away..." Jeremiel said...

I nodded...

"I have lost my father... this world is just too cruel..." Jeremiel continues

Zerotus-sensei... I realize his death when his name disappeared from the top 10 strongest...

Nico must be really sad, I feel really bad for him

"That is why, you must join our fight..." I said to Jeremiel...

Jeremiel looked at me...

"Qiteron Kingdom.... No, the whole Ocean Kingdom, will fight against Navroth in 4 years, including with Nicolas... also Perius and Aerios Kingdom..." I told him...

"Four years? That is a sudden!" Jeremiel said...

"I had planned this for five years..." I said...

"Yes, two years ago, you left Nico..." Jeremiel said...

"Let's fight! And stop the violence! No more death!" I said while giving my hand to him...

He looked at me in surprised... and he smiled...

"Thank you Euclio..." he said while smiling... but he never reached my hand...

But then he gripped my hand very hard...

"We will stop this Navroth! And create an everlasting peace!" Jeremiel said...

I nodded happily...

"Which is why... you need to trained your son..." I said to Jeremiel...

He nodded...

"Everyone has trained from their young age... but Jaxson is different..." Jeremiel said...

"Because you live here..." I said...

He nodded...

"Jaxson... come inside! I know you are out there..." Jeremiel suddenly shouted...

Huh? What happened?

Jeremiel looked at the door... and...

The door slowly opened... and we can see Jaxson...

H-He heard us?!

"Jaxson..." Jeremiel called him...

"Y-Yes?" Jaxson asked in afraid...

"Why do you choose witchcraft?" Jeremiel asked Jaxson

"Because I want to be like you!" Jaxson said while looking at Jeremiel...

Jeremiel smiled...

"Because you never see a swordsman fight!" Jeremiel said...

H-He never?!

"What?!" I asked Jeremiel...

Since both of them are looking at me...

"There are three types of swordsmanship... Ares, Maxim, and Valeon..." Jeremiel explained and come closer to Jaxson...

Then Jaxson being carried by Jeremiel...

"What are the difference?" Jaxson asked...

He do not understand the basic?

"Ares is an offensive style, Valeon is a defensive style, and Maxim is a combination of both..." Jeremiel explained...

"Maxim? Is it uncle Maxim?" Jaxson asked...

Uncle?! He is older than your grandpa!

"Yes! Uncle Maxim created the Maxim Style... and he is a very strong swordsman, strong enough to destroy this place with one slash...." Jeremiel explained...

"How about you Tousan?" Jaxson asked...

Jeremiel lead us to the garden...

"I am a mage... Nicolas-nisan is a mage either... he has the same element like mine!" Jeremiel said proudly...

He is... showing off Nico...

"I know! You told me more than 5x... can you fight with sword?" Jaxson asked...

I believe Jaxson is a bit jealous with Nico...

"No..." Jeremiel said...

"I see..." Jaxson said in disappointed way...

But then he looked at me...

"That boy is a Unique Weapon Wielder..." Jeremiel said while point at me with hype...

"Wow!" Jaxson said interestedly...

I believe he don't know what it means...

"He use two swords..." Jeremiel said...

Jaxson get down from his father... and come closer to me...

"Can I see your swords?" Jaxson asked...

I looked at Jeremiel...

And he nodded...

I guess he changes his mind already, from living in peace to fight for peace...

I unsheathed the sword and it glows blue as usual...

"Wow..." Jaxson said in amaze...

I show the sword closer to him...

And he touched the sword...

He can see Nicolas's name on the blade...

"Nicolas Maxwell?" He asked me...

I nodded,..

"Nicolas gave me the sword... and of course, I will use this sword for my entire life..." I said to Jaxson...

He looked sad...

I should have not said something like that... or else he might be jealous...

"Here..." I said after thinking of an idea...

"If you have decided whether you want to be a swordsman or mage... I will give you something!" I said to him while patting his head...

"I-I want to be a swordsman!" Jaxson said and changed his mind...

That is fast!

I looked at Jeremiel... and he smiled...

"You should decide it carefully..." I said...

He nodded...

"I love this sword already..." Jaxson said...

T-That's not what it means to be a swordsman!

I let a sigh and Jeremiel laughed...

"Euclio, you should demonstrate your skill..." Jeremiel said...

"What? Now?" I asked...

Jeremiel nodded with a smile...

H-He is using me!

"Okay, wait here..." I said to Jaxson and I moved back a little...

I took the other sword out of my scabbard...

And I do stabbing, and slashing around using my swords...

I slash with my sword and stab with the other one... also

He is impressed...

Then I activate my Water Magic to perform an Elemental Fighting...

The swords has water covers the blade... it is still sharp... the water makes the opponent's movement slower...

There is a blue light effect every time I move Ocean Protector...

It is indeed made of special material for Elemental Fighter... this sapphire...

And when I finished my performance... I hear applauses...

Not only from Jeremiel and Jaxson but also from... Maxim...

Also Evelyn... and Europa...

And the other two commander? Or bodyguard...

I don't know their rank...

"Jaxson... What do you think?" Jeremiel asked his son...

Jaxson is still speechless...

"That is beautiful..." Jaxson said...

"It is! You reminded me of Ares!" Maxim interrupted...

Ares?

"Ares Perius?" I asked...

"Yes! But his style is so fierce! But dual sword wielder... that is a rare thing lately..." Maxim said...

Ares is a dual sword wielder?!

"Let's duel!" Maxim said to me...

"W-What?! No!" I said...

He is too strong!

"Why? Come on!" Maxim said in a disappointed way...

"You are the third! I am just a normal boy..." I said...

"That performance is not normal!" Maxim said...

"I know you can defeat him!" Jaxson said to me with a smile...

H-He is rooting for me now!

"Fine... this but I'll make the rule..." I said...

"Sure..." Maxim said...

"Normal duel rule but..." I said...

Everyone looked at me interestedly...

"No legendary weapon!" I said

I might be dead if I fight those...

"Of course... I will be using this..." Maxim said while swinging a wooden sword...

I nodded...

I don't know how strong he is... but Jeremiel just told Jaxson that he can slash this kingdom in a slash...

And...

Everyone is watching...

We are in the arena now...

I guess not only Jeremiel's family and his bodyguard...

But some of the people are here watching our fight...

"Go Euclio! You can do it!" Somehow that boy is cheering for me...

Europa act as the judge... and she moved to the middle of the arena...

"The sky is the witness of this duel, and the rule are simple, no killing and one side will win if the other surrender or unable to continue the fight..." Europa said...

"Both side ready?" Europa asked...

I take out my swords from my scabbard, while Maxim is holding a wooden sword...

"Then... it will begin in 3...."

I am now concentrating...

"2..."

Maxim is still relaxing...

"1... start!" Europa said

Maxim is in front of me...

"Huh?" I sound in surprised...and I can see him smiling before he suddenly kicked me out...

I put my sword behind my back to hold the force Maxim gave...

And finally I stopped...

He is insane!

Power, Speed is top tier...

"What's wrong little cat?" Maxim asked me while smiling...

T-That man is intimidating...

I come closer to his side and slash my first sword he dodge it easily, then I stab using Ocean Protector... and he moved back...

He then come closer once more, in a really fast movement... and he swing his sword above my head, but I blocked it with both of my swords...

He start attacking... and I parried everything...

Until I found a small chance to attack.. and I attacked him...

He stopped my attack by holding my hand...

"W-What!" I said...

And then he swing is other hand and about to hit me with the wooden sword, but I stopped it by parrying it...

He pull me up using his b.a.r.e hand...

And he was about to attack me with his sword...

But I block it once more with my sword...

I kicked his c.h.e.s.t and I am released from his grip...

I am now still taking recover from his grip, and controlling my breath...

Then I come closer at him once more, and keep swiping my sword right to left and left to right... searching for a chance to attack...

As expected from the world strongest number three... he dodge all of them without even parrying any of my attack...

He has a big body, but his movement is so fast...

I have to come closer, to make it impossible to be dodge... and I come closer at him

And now he is parrying my attack... which is a big mistake...

He parried my attack with a heavy blow from the wooden sword and make my other sword fly away...

"I give up.." Euclio said...

And I can hear applauses from the audiences...

No shouting at all, a really different thing with the people from earth...

But one boy...

"That is a nice fight Euclio!" A boy with blue eyes shouted...

Even everyone looked at him now... and I can see Jeremiel scolding him...

I let a sigh...

This family is weird...
