Sword Anthem's
Chapter 18 - Entia Mystic Park

The clump, the sunlight and the various beauties inside the tower greeted me warmly. There was a spiral staircase in the middle of it with a white metallic cage rising to the top.

Inside the cage was a table, a chair and tea supplies. With a beautiful interior design, I did not know what to say. Little birds flew across us.

I put my feet up with a very calm feeling.

"Let's go in, Kuro," welcome Hilda kindly.

It seems like it's not flirting anymore. That's quick....

Entering the Entia Tower, but like entering a different mystic garden. With water on each side. At the bottom there is an elongated parallel pot with colorful flowers blooming.

My membranes do not get tired when I see it, even my eyes like being wedge by something in order to continue to see this scene. Hilda entered the cage and I followed her from behind.

Once inside we both sat facing each other. Hilda poured the tar into a unique oval cup on the edge of which was a bluish green bead.

Then my head turned around looking around this tower. With a spiral staircase soaring upwards in silver, there must be a second, third or so floor. It turns out my guess was wrong.

Each intersection of the spiral staircase has a thin bridge. The bridge was a link for several corridors such as in library facilities. With huge bookshelves and archives hung up like a baby toy.

Now I see the bottom. There are various types of plants with fruits that are ready to be picked and then eaten.

"Hilda, have you lived here since the collapse of the kingdom?" I took the tea cup on the table and slowly drank it while waiting for the answer.

"As Kuro said, I have been living here ever since the kingdom collapsed. And what about yourself?" Hilda got up and took a jar of pastries that were on top of a giant flower.

"Hmm .. in a simple house close to the lake and far from the Kingdom of Astarte and Ronove. By the way this tea is delicious," I said cheerfully. "Are you guarding something here?."

"Ah..thank you for the compliment, Kuro," he said. "That's how, I'm here indeed guarding something. That was my last assignment from your late father."

He turned around and put the setoples of pastries on the table, then sat back down and rested.

"Hm ... Dad yeah, then is it a book?"

"Yes, books. This book is the second treasure of the kingdom other than the Sacred Sword of Regalia," he said. " The Book of Entia's Destiny"

"It looks like it's a very important thing, I got a letter from my late father and it just so happened to be in order to retrieve the book."

I opened the jar of cookies, and took a chocolate cake with a sprinkling of cheese.

"Are you sure you want to take it?"

"Of course, after all it was a book that probably told the word 'them' about 'my duty'... "

"I can't just hand it over, even if you're a second pangeranke. This book would be very dangerous if used at all." He said while giving off a hostile aura.

"Calm down .. don't go straight to useless things. Is there any other way that I can take it without having to do something in vain?"

With his leisure after finishing eating the pastry, I immediately raised the tea cup and then returned to drinking it casually.

"Of course there is. But you have to be able to answer one of my questions correctly" Hilda said firmly. "You ready?" he asked while looking at me with the eyes of the examiner.

"What I can't do is shameful to myself, of course I will answer," I replied with a serious look.

"Well, here's the question" said Hilda and extended her hand toward me. "After knowing the contents of the book, what will you do, Your Highness Prince Reiss?”

Y-Your Highness Prince said you? Come on, I don't care what he calls me anymore.

I just smiled a little and then breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the answer, of course" I said as I pressed my palms against my chest.

But it seemed like Hilda was confused by the answer I just gave.

"Not, but the thing inside. The thing that helps us to live, the heart," I answered. "Without this we cannot capture the emotional sense that will be channeled into our brain. I will do what I think is right and destroy what I think is wrong even if you are at stake."

Hilda did not react, but not long after that she smiled. His face turned red and he shed a single tear, "Your answer is right, Your Highness Prince Reiss. Please accept this book, I hope you can hold those words honestly."

Then Hilda's fist opened, a tremendous burst of water bursting out of her hand at the same time as a book. Then the water disappeared into dew instantly and finally evaporated.

"Of course" I said, wiping under my nose.

"Hahaha ... The little prince I knew back then had turned into a very extraordinary man"

"Then I take the book, thank you for keeping me company even for a moment."

After I got it, I read it immediately and instantly my forehead lifted.

A bunch of runes came out from inside the book in different colors. Every single rune that floated up then circled above me very quickly. I don't really understand these runes.

But it seemed like this was the Original Rune, there was no change of words at all. Even I think all these runes have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. I was not born at that time, if you live in that time then –

"Maybe, I'm the one who made all these runes" I murmured.

"Is there a problem, Kuro?"

"No, no problem at all."

I also gave a faint smile towards him. On the other hand Hilda replied to me with her sweet smile then nodded, then fell silent again.

I assume the person who can make a real rune like this is just me alone. Because I was the one who created the I-Rune, a magic that relied on active imagination to activate it.

But if there is one person who can do it for sure he is a great person. After that I tried to read the floating rune with great difficulty. Yet I can only read a few among that bunch of runes.

If true then that hovering rune almost completely filled this tower. Let me see again—

100,000 souls will float on the night of the twin stars. Their presence made the Omega descend back into the silent expanse of the night. In that state only the sword of Regalia can tear the heart of the Omega.

That night will turn into a night filled with screams and also a rain of blood. Omega the Destroyer and Creator. He is neither a god nor a ruler, he is a presence that has been sought by humans for centuries.

Before the gods and angels interfered in the problems of human life. He is a figure who is very much in the future but also very feared. The night of the twin stars is the perfect place to awaken Omega.

The original form of the Regalia sword must be formed immediately before the appearance of Omega. If it is late then the song sword must sacrifice its life to destroy the mega.

Omega will enter the body of the sword of song.only the loved one can tear the heart of the Omega. If it is too late the Omega has entered into the body of the sword of song.

He ... he is the wanderer of hope.the only creature that cannot be likened to man or angel. Because his figure among this life is only as a breaker of the rope of destruction.

The sword of the song as well as the adventurer of hope.on the day of judgment man began to turn into his original figure.the animals kill each other.

The air will turn into invisible poison. If the omega had truly risen and entered into the body of the songsword, then the flower of destruction would have grown in space.

The flower will grow bigger as time goes on. The lost souls will be sucked into it, it will be like a nutrient to him.

If that is true, it is the sword of song itself that must destroy its own heart with the sword of destiny, the sword of the limitless Regalia.

When Omega has been defeated, the task of the hope-governing has ended. His soul will be free and his body will disappear from this world, but he will be sent to another world.

Where the world has been a very great controversy. Even fellow brothers would kill each other for the sake of gaining great strength. That is where the hope will be revived.

It's really incredible. This rune seems to tell the story of the adventurer of hope who freed the dark world from Omega. But if my memory is correct about this Omega, I have previously found the exact same book as the contents of this Rune.

Yes, that place was inside that room, the room that forcibly opened up my old memories. And in my memory, everyone is pinning their hopes on an old brunette.

And if my guess is correct, that dark brown haired man is me. Is it my destiny to destroy these Omega? Hahaha .. It's so funny my destiny is. This rope of fate that has been tied to me seems to really make me have to do troublesome things.

Why is there no fate that is just lazing around? with a big glass of warm chocolate and whole wheat bread?

Once I understand the contents of this book, I'll give it to Mr. Hughes aka Lucifer. What about Hilda? Whether after his last task is done he will disappear or will remain silent here.

"Huuuhhhh .. The contents of this book are heavy enough to digest, too" my guyon. "Hilda?"

"Yes, what's up Kuro?"

"I've taken this last task of yours, and then after this what are you going to do?"

"No, it's just that I'm curious about the other servants who serve the kingdom" I said. "Are they the same as you, or are they different? They may be given another last assignment

from my late father"

"Hahaha, no, they have all left this world together with the collapse of the Faustia Kingdom" he said with a chuckle. "They are my family just like you. You have me as the last family I have in contact with you showing yourself in front of me. They were not given this kind of task, this last task was given only to me. The royal butler is one, "" he said." The last task I was given was to keep this book until a man who had the right to come and take it"

"Hmmm .. so it's like that" I said. "Then are you really going to disappear? You could've found another job"

"No, what I mean is I'm not going to be in this world anymore. Since my Mana rope has been erased and the time limit has also been at its peak," he explained with a small smile.

"It's a shame then, when why don't you just serve me?" my advice. "I'll give you two orders"

"But Kuro, if I—“

"I know it's Hilda, which rope do you need, right?" my many. "Where our relationship is mutually beneficial you will serve me for the rest of your life and you will gain Mana from my body."

I smiled warmly and then picked up some more cookies for me to eat.

" ... "

"Come on," I continued and sipped a cup of tea peacefully. "Just say yes or no."

"Good." His face was now flushed, I didn't know if he was happy or if he was so moved by my offer.

"My name is Kuro, with this a bond will form between master and servant. For anyone who

object then shout my name if not then shut up. With this a contract will be formed and a

new relationship created between, I'm Kuro and—“

"—my Hilda," he continued.

"The night star will be a witness and the moon will be our liaison. Even though the future is not yet in

know, I'll always trust him as my family" I said calmly.

We both puffed each other's chests, on the back of Hilda's right hand appeared a white Regalia Sword-shaped emblem. On the back of my left hand was the black Regalia Sword.

"Well ... in this way the contract has finally been completed, so as your new master will give you some questions" I said gently.

"Anything I will answer"

"Has there been anything strange lately before I got here?"

"No, it's just that a few months ago I used to see a bunch of spirits flying freely in the ceiling near the Entia Tower"

"Other than that?"

"There's nothing strange about it anymore, Kuro "

"Then is the black creature that attacked me the one you called?"

"Yes, they are Terma. The creatures I created with Mana temporarily, they would appear if they were close to some Ignium Crystals"

"Hmm. I don't think it was you before I knew it was you. I want to kill that Necromancer, or maybe Hilda. You're a Necromancer?"

"I'm less precise, I can only use his abilities. Because the summoning magic that I mastered did not reach perfect as you saw for yourself"

"Do you know about the sword-eater, Hilda?"

"I heard it only a little bit from His Highness Prince Ray, when he was alive"

Apparently my late brother also knew about this sword eater.

"Mendiang His Highness Prince Ray once told him when he was about 70 years old, and maybe Kuro was still about 25 years old. You were so young and so funny"

"Hilda what do you mean 25 years, I'm only 20 years old"

"In the Sky Kingdom of Faustia, the lifespan of every member of the royal family was extremely long. It can be said that you will experience the childhood phase at the age of 1-50 years, while your late brother, His Highness Prince Ray is a teenager. Ranging between 50-125, while for the age of your late parents is 800 years and above," he explained.

"Hehhhh!?. It turns out that I have a long life, I guess my real life is 20 years"

"Hahaha. if it is connected then now your age is about 327 years and if converted will be 20 years in the human calendar"

"Hmm. So it's like that, apparently," I murmured. "Then about this sword eater?"

"Ah.. I almost forgot, then I will tell you," he said.

"The swordsman I'm going to tell you about is the sword eater that your late brother once defeated. This creature is a disconnect created due to the accumulation of black energy period with a shape that resembles almost like a dragon"

"But in some cases they can also turn into 'Halfing' or 'Human', they use the element of darkness to mentally destroy their prey. Usually they gnawed at the swords of the knights, but the one your late brother defeated was a Hybrid"

"They prey on the heart of living things whether it be humans or animals at the same time they also eat swords and solid metal combat tools"

"This creature has about three lives aka three hearts in each different limb. The main heart is right at the center of his body close to the upper chest. The second is in their eyes while the third is still unknown location" he explained.

"If the third heart is unknown then how did my late brother defeat him?"

"Your late brother slashed down his body with the Sword of Regalia in his true form”

"Now it makes sense, why did the grizzled Grandfather stick this investigative mission inside the guild," I murmured. "Then whether this sword eater has anything to do with strange events or myths, because I once almost died because of it. Fortunately because of the help of two of my colleagues I was able to defeat him."

"If I look at your fight it doesn't make any sense, because this sword-eater is very dangerous. Your late Big Brother lost his army when fighting this creature, if I can tell that sword eater you are fighting is probably still very young"

"Because your late brother deployed nearly 500,000 warriors to defeat him.”

That's plenty!!

It seems like the mysteries of this world are very complicated, there are some that I do not know at all. But now I'm getting some puzzle pieces about my old memories back.

"Hmm. That's a number not small, Hilda. Thanks for the explanation I'll now be heading back to earth soon, will you follow?"

"Of course, Kuro. Now I'm your personal servant" he said with a smile.

We both got up and walked towards the ruins of the Armhade Castle. Not long after that we had been outside the Entia Tower. Hilda walked behind me very formally.

Actually it made me uncomfortable, so I asked him to walk beside me. At first he was reluctant and embarrassed, but after I persuaded and assured him nothing would happen, he walked beside me.

The two of us had a little chat while walking towards the ruins of the Armhade Castle. On the sidelines of that Hilda recounted my behavior when I was a child. I can only open my mouth wide about it.

Because of this behavior I still do to this day. And strangely Hilda laughed out loud, I could barely breathe when I saw her face like that.

Like being hit by an electric shock that suddenly jerked my head and as a result I was like sculpting. It was not long before the creature suddenly let out a giant black fireball towards the two of us.

Hilda didn't realize it, so I immediately carried her with Bridal Style and jumped to avoid the attack. His pretty shocked face immediately turned red and he put his face on my chest.

After successfully dodging the attack, I lowered Hilda and then gave a fairly strong shock attack using a kick from my right foot. Waves that did not play its size shot across the creature but only with a flutter from its tail the waves that I released disappeared.

"Tchh .. just troublesome"

"A-do I make, K-Kuro uncomfortable?" hilda asked clumsyly with a very sweaty face.

"No, I mean the creature" I said and pointed at him lightly.

Hilda took a breath and she was relieved that it was not she who was a burden to me." Apparently he came here."

"Who?"

"Steacher," he replied briefly.

"His cup he has come, it looks like this will be a very long battle."
