The Chronicles Of Rhaxtyx

Vulca City was in chaos. Their city lord was dead, supposedly killed himself by pulling every limb he had. His dead body was found on the backyard of his mansion, which was mostly damaged as well; it's third floor mostly collapsed and second floor unreachable because of all the debris. Baron Herald Nymann has died brutally and his slaves were free as well. The news of this reached the capital pretty fast. Well, a news like this would take really short amount to reach even the far reaches of earth.

Reports stated that the city was under attack before the Baron died. And the most interesting piece of news was that only one attacker was present. A white haired, crimson eyed male of roughly 16-18 years-old. An emergency meeting was held by the military officer, 1st General Joule and a discussion started between the army, Imperial School of Magic and the various nobles of the capital.

This meeting was mainly about how to deal with the situation and what kind of actions they could take. As a result of this meeting, army deployed a large force around Vulca City in a perimeter of 10 kilometers and this force patrolled this area 24/7. Their aim was to find the culprit. For this, they forbid anyone from leaving the city and its surrounding area.

They interrogated everyone that tried to leave the area, including military officers and merchants and arrested everyone that resisted. This operation was led by the Imperial Knight Order, the highest order in the Kingdom of Herron. This skilled young men and women were the strongest people in the Kingdom; they could take on high tier magical beasts by themselves easily.

News of this incident was almost heard everywhere in a week in the Kingdom. People were asking if this was an invasion or an enemy attack. The officials and nobles tried hard to calm the people but some places went as far as rioting. They were fed up with how Kingdom was full of secrets. Rhaxtyx's blaze of glory caused a huge wave of chaos to spread all over the Kingdom of Herron.

It also made itself heard over in the 4 Dynasties and the Hillan Imperium. People were talking about this event everywhere. The freed slaves made it across the country in hiding and made the news spread while other survivors of the event spread the details of the situation.

"Did you hear? A maniac attack Vulca by themselves apparently."

"I heard I heard! But I also heard they succeeded."

"Hmph. Do you think it is that easy to kill our Kingdom's guards?!"

"It is true. I was there." (Survivor)

"Haa? Stop kidding you idiot! Do you want to be arrested?"

"If I didn't get arrested while I left Vulca, then I won't be arrested here. They control the region very tightly and do not let anyone out if they are even a bit suspicious." (Survivor)

"We all know that! Tell us what happened in the city already!"

"Okay. It was a white haired individual. I didn't get to see his eyes but I saw him fighting. He looked about 20 years old and he killed viciously. Me and my wife are lucky that he didn't take our lives. He even crashed in our bedroom!"

"That is absurd!"

"But it is true! His strikes were powerful and he could use powerful spells. He even killed the mighty Kalim Nervhia in one punch!" (Survivor)

"What happened after that?"

"I don't know. I took my wife and kid with me and fled the city as fast as we could. But I heard his shout after he killed our lord."

"What did he say?"

"He said something about being the God of Magic or something and us being free? I remember he said he deemed us free as the God of Magic." (Survivor)

"God of Magic? Hah! Can you be more ridiculous? There's no god like that! We all know our gods! This is common knowledge. You have been charmed by the demon I'm afraid."

"No! I only encountered him for a minute."

"It is enough to be charmed. Brother and sisters! This man is already a servant for the demon! Let's cleanse our city from its influence!"

""Yeah! Let's do it!""

"He is not charmed." (Mysterious Man)

"Huh? Who are you to talk like that?!"

"I come from the Imperial School of Magic. Do you have a problem?"

"I-I'm sorry milord. I didn't-"

"It's enough. You. Come with me."

"Y-yes milord." (Survivor)

This man from the Imperial School of Magic was Antaler, the sole disciple of the Archmage. He took the survivor to his camp and talked with him about the incident, what the attacker looked like, how did he act and things in that line.

"Although my memory is hazy, and I ran as fast as I could, this is all I can provide milord. Please forgive me."

"It's okay. You can go now."

"Thank you!"

"Oh before you go."

"Yes?"

"You said you had a kid, right? Life like this should be hard. Ask for provisions, tell them I gave the order. Take this with you, they'll believe you."

The man immediately fell to his knees and bowed. Even though Antaler tried to stop him he didn't stop that easily. At the end a guard came in and took him out. The survivor received his provisions like Antaler ordered and returned home happy.

Antaler on the other hand was more troubled than ever. He was supposed to research at the Research Site Priority Alpha, where Feraz Village was but was pulled by the School and was assigned to searching any demon presence all over the Kingdom. His assignment was still near Helenia Forest, just the other side of Feraz but he couldn't go there. They were in a village under the jurisdiction of Leilo City, despite being the other side of the forest.

"Ugh! This sucks!" (Antaler)

"Having trouble mage?" (Colonel Berny)

"Good to see you Colonel. Please, join me"

Antaler signaled a maid and ordered for tea to be served. This man was the army official that was assigned alongside Antaler, Colonel Berny. He was a headstrong man on most things but he also had a level head. He knew when he was wrong and was respectful to his enemies and allies alike.

"Thank you. Looks like you'll get more sleepless night after this."

"What do you mean Colonel?"

"Oh you didn't hear? They say that the Imperial Knight Order's General was coming to pay a visit."

"What?! Sh*t just what we needed. Why would that monster come?"

"I'd suggest you watch how you speak of that person, mage. That person not only is my superior, they are also yours as well."

"You're right. Just with this much stress, I don't really know what I am saying."

"I understand, but others might not."

"Thank you Colonel"

"Don't mention it. *Sip* Mhm. This tea is delicious."

"It is from the southern coast of the continent. A special brand."

"How did you get your hands on this?"

"A present from my teacher for my achievements."

"You are a lucky man, mage. I should hang out with you more."

"Enough of that. Any news on the envoys?"

"It's like they spirited away. No trace what so ever."

"That is weird. They should've reached the capital days ago."

"We can only look."

They then went on with their usual work and planned for the arrival of the Imperial Knights Order's General.

There were a lot of eyes focused on Vulca. And not all of them were visible to everyone.

"Finally it starts. I wonder what the others will do." (Hermit)

"I don't know what you are thinking really. Why are you doing this?"

"Let's say there are things that you are not aware of."

The hermit that told of the prophecy to the King was walking inside the Helenia Forest. He was watching Rhaxtyx while he was slaughtering his way in Vulca, making plans and observing. The voice inside him was, despite being with him for a long time, couldn't understand what he was thinking.

The nearby patrols were unaware of this person as he kept walking towards the capital in a calm manner.

Other than this hermit, the Water God himself was also there, making sure there was nothing wrong. Accompanying him was the young boy he saved from Feraz, Yorick. He healed him and trained him, making him able to stand for himself and protect himself when he needed.

"What do you think about this situation Yorick."

"He seems dangerous. Why aren't you killing him? You are more than capable."

"There are rules that I must abide."

"Che. Rules again."

"You might not understand, but that doesn't change the reality."

"Whatever."

"He is also not a bad person, I personally saw it."

"He literally wiped a village you said."

"It was already empty. He just cleared his enemies to protect his friend."

"I don't trust him. He might even threaten your existence one day. How can you be so sure of him?"

"I just know. Let's go. There are things we need to do."

"Like what?"

"We need to prepare for the approaching chaos. A war is coming, young Yorick. We need to prepare."

Thus the three big kingdoms, Hillan Imperium, The 4 Dynasties and The Kingdom of Herron entered a period of change. This event would mark the biggest revolution in the history of the continent. A new god has ascended for most people but for the few who knew of the truth, a new threat, a new God has descended upon the world. The results of this, would be soon to come.
