Sword Anthem's
Chapter 16 - Towards Entia

After that warm hand disappeared from my right hand. A speck of light came down out of nowhere, it faded away and disappeared, and finally it left only a message inside my head.

—Prince, help us.

I don't know who it is but for sure it's not just one sound but like one platoon even more. Then I realized that my mission was not finished. I got up and immediately rushed to look for clues about the mysterious shadow.

Somehow I was able to get to this place, but one thing was certain....

“How can I stumble and be here? A secret hole? That's right...,” I'm annoyed.

Before I realized there was something strange around me, this forest changed. It was either an illusion, but all the grasses, trees even shadows and light disappeared in an instant.

Suddenly I was standing in the middle of the room. The room was dark, only some light could escape from the broken glass up there, which could provide a faint illumination of this place.

By reflex I also used a small fire magic sticking out at the tip of my right index finger.The light on my finger began to illuminate every side of the room and instantly everything became clear.

The right and left sides are a minimalist bookcase in a faded brown. With old books that have not been taken care of again.

On top of the shelf were some ornaments, candles and also some things I didn't know about. The roof was tightly closed and even a beam of light could not penetrate. The bottom I stepped on was a red carpet.

With some unique motifs resembling curves and flat planes such as triangles and also hexagons. Then I saw a chair up there that was quite tall, hiding behind a table box full of dust.

To the right of the table was a Globe bound by a spider web. Dull and unkempt just like the shelves on the edge. Then two books that overlap in white to forage.

A wooden glass leaning against the Globe and a wooden plate complete with a fork and spoon in the middle. With the spoon inside and the fork outside the plate.

Behind that hiding chair, was just a chunk of stone arranged into a sturdy wall, nothing special. Then at the top, a hollow glass.

With a colorful circle depicting two creatures that give a crown to a person who sits on a throne. The left wing is black, the right wing is white.

The person to be given the crown wears a red robe with a disappointed face. I didn't know what he meant but out of curiosity, I picked up one of the books and opened a page at random.

Then I don't know why I feel familiar with a word and a number in that sentence, but I don't really understand the contents.

Omega consurget destruere vitam colligeret dabit spiritum 100,000 ad suspitandas tribus mensibus geminos nocte stella

"Hahaha .. I really don't understand this sentence, but the word Omega and such a big number doesn't seem like good news," I said slowly and then closed the book and put it back on the shelf where it came from.

Then walk slowly towards the table in front of there. Every time I stepped up a picture suddenly appeared in my mind. The picture was of a little boy running around in a park along with three people.

One was a tall and quite burly man, using a silver crown on his head. Then a woman who held her hand in a smooth, long brown hair decomposed.

Then the third was a man who was almost the same as the little boy. He had black hair, a cheerful face with a very sincere smile. The two of them ran in a very large garden.

Up there lay a vast sky with a warm shining. Then the two of them chased each other. But the little boy always fell down occasionally while the man who played with him danced cheerfully in the garden.

The two adults could only smile at the behavior of the two of them. Soon the man playing with the little boy took out two white wings like the light of truth.

He smiled at the little boy, and then he flew slowly. His lips moved as he extended his hand towards the little boy—

... Reiss, let's play in the sky there.

The little boy smiled widely and grabbed the hand of the man who was flying

lowly. His head nodded and he said....

.. Wait for me, Brother.

His face then turned red and he ran towards him –

"Ahkk .. What was that?" muttered.

I was a little drowned to see the strange picture, but I moved my feet back to the table in front. My stamina seemed to be drained as I approached the table ahead.

Then slowly I managed to get to the table and then I looked carefully, nothing strange at all but after I put my face up and saw the glass up there.

The glass is quite opaque but can be quite clearly show the picture painted there. And once again the picture came into my mind. Who exactly is that man?

... Reiss, brother please hurry. We don't have much time left.

... Ta-but Kak—

... Please Reiss, brother knows that you don't want to do it.

... Then let me come along with you guys—

... No. You have to stay alive for whatever reason.

... Reiss, you're the only one who can do this job.

... We've all been poisoned, so we don't want our spirits in

use it to raise Omega.

... Reiss, please. Brother will trust Regalia's sword in

your hand.

... Brother, I can't afford—

... Reiss maybe you'll be able to see their faces all—

The man then opened a door. In which there are all the royal personnel. From kings, queens, ministers, bodyguards, and guards are highly trusted.

They smiled widely with radiant faces. The king and queen joined hands together while giving their final smile to the brunette man who was standing right beside the pitch black haired man.

While the ministers stood up while puffing their chests. The guards raised their swords and the guards spread their hands to drop their golden shields.

The brown-haired man was then drowned limp. His face was very pale and his teeth were gritted. Both of his hands were shaking while his body was shivering. Now his face was filled with unwilling tears.

All who saw him could only smile, although their hearts ached to see the man called the prince bowed with tears. While the black-haired man who was by his side held her shoulders gently.

... Reiss, my son, strengthen your heart. Your mom and dad are proud to have children

like yourself.

.. Prince, we know we shouldn't be giving up this heavy duty

at you.

... Wonder, if we can meet again. Don't forget to take us

playing as usual.

... Reiss, look at them. Even your brother wouldn't be willing if you were the one

must do.

... Reiss ... Pengeran .. my son .. we beg for life on earth

not destroyed.

Then the brown-haired man raised his head to look at the man he referred to as his brother. The man smiled broadly with tears in his eyes, sobbing and unwilling to see his beloved sister do what he could not forgive.

... WHAT ARE YOU GUYS SAYING!??? I-I DON'T WANT TO KILL YOU GUYS.

... YOU GUYS ARE A VERY PRECIOUS K-FAMILY TO ME.

The black-haired man did not budge, then he walked towards the king, the queen, the minister and the guards and guards. Then he stood in the middle of them smiling at the brunette.

... Reiss, please.

... YOU DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL NOW, DON'T RULE ME ANYMORE!

... W-I TOLD YOU I DON'T WANT TO KILL YOU ALL!

The brown-haired man then got up with his legs shaking violently. Two swords were right in front of him. Stuck on the crystal floor, he pulled out. The right sword is black while the left sword is white.

After that he held the two with his left hand. And suddenly he hit his own face with his right hand. They were all shocked, but after he showed his face back.

They were relieved, as now the man's face became filled with determination as well as responsibility. They returned smile—

... Reiss ... Prince ... My son .. I hope we meet again at another

day.

They smile very sincerely. The brown-haired man lunged at them by playing both of his swords. Very quickly and in just a few minutes, the room was drenched in blood.

And in the midst of it was a man covered in blood who was holding two swords. He cried again, a cry that came out of his mouth unceasingly yelling at those he loved.

One by one he mentioned it very deeply. And from situ—

"Huh huhhhh .. huh.." huh."

I came back to my senses and was holding a worn-out old brown book. Then suddenly my hands got wet. I opened my eyes and two free-fall drops from my eyes. It hit the backs of my hands that couldn't stop shaking so much.

My mouth was open but I could not say anything. The picture earlier was apparently—

"My word...."

My chest tightened, my body became cold all of a sudden. My stamina also seemed to be forcibly removed. What...what the hell is this?

"W-even though I know, w-even though I know not a prince. N-yet why do I-I have these memories? WHYAAA?!! ... ARGHHHHH!" I shouted loudly and slammed the table in front of me very hard.

Bunch of papers, books flying superbly to the ceiling. They floated slowly, and a paper caught my attention. The kerta had a red stain on its right end with

a fingerprints were drawn underneath.

I picked it up and read it while calming myself....

For My Beloved Son, the,

Reiss Veil Drag Reizhart,

I've written this last letter to you, it's been filled with father's feelings,

your mother and sister. I hope you don't blame yourself

that incident. I just want you to be happy with your life right now.

Your sister and mother are even more worried about you than you are,

if you read this letter please go straight to the Entia Tower. At the

the tower was kept a book that would explain all events even

the reason we all do that.

And if you find him, go see Hughes E.

Reficuls. He was a father's friend even though he was a fallen angel, as well

the leader there. Once you find him, ask him to

using the book you found in the Entia tower.

Then ask what you will continue after successful use

that book. I hope you take immediate action before Minister Enthoma

awakening Omega.

It's the last Hughes can always read your mind so never

lied to him. He can know who you are and know your past because it was

he played with you even though you forgot about him.

He also has a bad habit of reversing his last name.

Reficul is not supposed to be Lucifer, and his full name is Hughes El Lucifer.

Maybe just get here ... Welove you.

Fathering....

"Rhh ... Mr. Hughes has been fooling me all along, I guess I managed to trick him. But it seems like it was the one who managed to fool me," I said suddenly. "Based on granny gramps .. hahaha."

Without realizing it, a laugh came back to my face. And that painful memory I had managed to lose by reading this letter. The entia? A book?

As Mr. Hughes says, he's like he has a connection to this book. But this letter really makes it all clear, why is there this investigative mission. And it seems that soon I will meet that sword-eater.

The black shadow was an element of his, and he was like a shadow at night. And revealed its true form during the day, when the sun was just above the sky.

I'd better get out of this castle soon to live up to my precious family's expectations. Father, Mother, Brother, ministers, guards and guards. Although I still can't accept the fact that I'm a prince.

My memory is not fully recovered. I only remember what happened 285 years ago and I don't remember anything before that. Where I first met Oz and Selina, then Regin, Aresya, and Irina.

But it seems that this time I managed to get five pieces of the puzzle and then string them on the board that I call this memory. If it's like that....

"Thank you everyone, you leave this task to me and always hope I'm happy."

I immediately turned around to leave the table and the room, but I took a dark red old book and there it says “Diary Beloved Family”.

Hopefully, by reading it, I can remember something more specific. After I walked out of the room. Suddenly I was teleported back to where I was.

That was the first place I stepped into after entering the Mour Valley, the ruins of the Sky Castle Armhade.

“It looks like the day starts at night, Ignium Crystals also turn into purplish-hitaman.”

And for the Athea Crystal attached to the circular stone pillar it turned white. It looks like these two crystals are in complete contrast to their respective colors.

I pulled out the Athea Crystal and a surprise hit my eyes with an incredible sight.

What I see now is a ruined city full of rubble and black air sticking like pseudo-smoke.

My current position is to be above the sky, precisely on a floating island. The moon looked so close, shining brightly with her flocks of stars.

There were some indistinct black colored creatures roaming the city. Some even have a large body stature and can fly. Looks like they're guarding something that I don't know what it is.

Right in the center of the ruined city was a whole tower. Like a new tower and looking fresh, even a black aura could not even enter the surrounding range.

It has a striking white color with a slightly pointed, cylindrical roof. The windows appear to decorate the edges, rotate like a spiral, and from the bottom to the middle there are green vines that bloom beautifully.

But because of the black creatures that roam there, it seems like Dad's letter has a point. If I recall it looks like the tower is an Entia and maybe they're guarding a very dangerous book.

So my father wrote that letter. 'Go immediately to the Entia tower, then grab the book inside'. Those words instantly made me jump down towards the group of black creatures.

As soon as I landed perfectly, both of my hands opened and two sword projections appeared creating an outpouring of shock winds. All the objects that were around me at the time were blown away.

I got up and looked at the black creatures with calm eyes. My heart beat twice, and then I sped up to create a crescent wave with a vertical path.

The huge black creature I had seen was split in two and all the creatures along my path were wiped into black dust.

“Majulah..,” I said coldly while pointing my sword towards the tower.
