The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 36: Continents Holder, The Monarch.

The day the King's Court was held. Lin-Ya and Nirlayn were granted the right to sit in the audience seats by Sarlyn. Although only nobles and important people in the Kingdom are allowed to watch the Trial of the King. But Lin-Ya and Nirlayn are currently granted an exception.

Lin-Ya and Nirlayn were sitting next to each other, both of them were staring intently at the Arena.

"Do your homage to His Majesty the King!"

Lin-Ya who heard this Instruction, immediately knelt to the King in earnest. It was as if the King was in front of him. Everyone in the audience seat did the same as Lin-Ya did.

While Lin-Ya was kneeling in earnestness, Nirlayn was instead seen sitting down just plain. His eyes continued to stare towards the Arena. Lin-Ya is surprised to see Nirlayn not kneeling at all.

With his position still on his knees, Lin-Ya tried to summon Nirlayn..

"Pst... Nirlayn, why don't you get down on your knees?!" Lin-Ya protest.

Nirlayn turned to Lin-Ya who called out her name. Even so, his expression was neither surprised nor guilty at all. In fact, Nirlayn seemed confused by Lin-Ya's words.

"uh? What do you mean kneeling? I will just kneel to Ren-sama or someone Ren-sama ordered to be respected.." Nirlayn said this indifferently.

"Did you not understand?! we are in front of the King!" Lin-Ya increasingly voiced her protest.

"I don't care, anyway... Ren-sama is not kneeling either." Nirlayn pointed at the Arena below. Precisely on the figure of Ren who stood quietly.

"What does... Eh?!"

Lin-Ya turned her gaze to Arena. As soon as he saw Ren who was still standing and not kneeling down in the slightest, Lin-Ya was surprised.

The King's Area.

"Ahw.. I forgot about you."

Ren suddenly appeared before everyone. His unexpected arrival made everyone's hearts freeze. In the blink of an eye, the figure of Ren who was in the Arena now appeared before them.

"What if you listen to my story...?"

Ren said this with a sincere smile. But, Ren's smile did not make the King, Queen, Sarlyn and Prince happy at all. They even felt a terror behind that smile.

"How's this... My king?" The queen spoke in despair.

"Tch... I'm sorry, Rialna, Etharez, for my carelessness.. You guys are dragged all this trouble." The king said regretfully, his gaze staring at Ren warily.

"There's no need to say something as pathetic as that...." Ren shook his arm.

"I have no intention of being evil...Hm?"

Said Ren cut off, turning his head towards a man who was in the room. A man who feels familiar to him...

"Geez, I didn't expect to see you here, Fraudlin."

Fraudlin was jolted by Ren's words, The expression on her face seemed to be disbelief.

"Is that really you, Ma-Master.... Ren?" Fraudlin spoke stammering.

"That's exactly....." Ren nodded.

"Then... What does all this mean....? and why did you become.... um.. bad?" Fraudlin looks Doubtful and suspects Ren.

"Let me explain that nan-"

"M-Ma-Dead! [Thousand Wind Blade]!" Sarlyn shouted suddenly.

"No! Waitaminute! Sarly!" Fraudlin yells trying to stop Sarlyn from releasing her Magic.

But, Fraudlin was too late, a Magic Circle appeared before Sarlyn.

That Magic Circle created countless Blades of wind. A blade of wind shot at Ren at high speed. It produced a unique sound when it shot through the air.

Dess! Dess! Dess! Dess! Dess!

Ren conjured a sword out of nowhere. In the blink of an eye, Ren performed several slashes at once.

The shing! The shing! The shing! The shing! The shing!

Each slash produced a beautiful Light Line in the air. When the Wind Blade hits the Line of Light, the Wind Blade will disappear without a fight.

Bruk!

"Ap-What...... S-My magic...."

Sarlyn fell down, she took a few steps back.... His expression showed despair. At first, Sarlyn thought the attack of her Wind Blade would inflict some injuries on Ren. However, all of that was only hope that was nothing more than a mere dream.

The King, Queen, and Prince who were expecting the same result as Nirlayn were all desperate. How not, even the Wind Magic belonging to the Kingdom's strongest magician was defeated easily by Ren.

"Good magic, but it's too weak. Too bad, even that can't hurt a disgusting man like me..." Ren shook his head helplessly.

"There's no other choice.. Miss this one can't be arranged... [Blood Ruler: Multi Blood Prison Cube]"

Everyone put on an Expression of Fear when Ren mentioned his Skill.

They all knew how terrible the Curse of the Red Corak was instilled on Princess Duke.

The King, Queen, Prince, and Sarlyn were wrapped in a transparent red Cube in an instant.

They're trying to rebel to get out of this cube.

"Don't bring my wife and my son into this matter! They have nothing to do with him!" The king shouted furiously.

"Master Ren! what are you doing?!" Fraudlin shouted, she was shocked at what Ren had done to the King. Only Fraudlin herself was not wrapped by this red Cube.

"It's very noisy, look.. I just locked them up. No more than that..."

Hearing Ren's words, Fraudlin looked at the King and the others who were locked up in a cube. Nothing happened, they were just locked up in that cube.

"An-You're right, Master Ren.. But, confine the King a little...."

Ren ignored Fraudlin's words, Ren walked up and stood before the King.

"[Blood Art: The Throne]"

Using his Blood Art Skill, Ren imitated a beautiful and majestic throne. The throne was formed right in front of the three people who were confined in a red cube.

Ren sat on the throne with his legs crossed. Then Ren propped up his chin using his right hand.

The figure of Ren sitting so Elegant like a real King.

"Listen to this, Esdagius."

Ren's voice was so calm and deep, different from Ren's previous one.

"What did you say to His Majesty?!" The first prince did not accept Ren calling out the King's Name without the slightest respect.

"My king..." The Queen looked at the King with worry.

"Calm you both...." The king calmed both. Although he was a little anxious, the pride of a King still stuck in his heart.

"What do you want....?" The king looked at Ren who was sitting on the throne.

"Hm... Before that, use your unique eyes first."

"What...? What.. What do you mean?"

"It doesn't take you to pretend. To me, feeling such a strange thing from your eyes is so easy..."

Ren pointed at the two eyes of the King who had the Golden-colored pupils.

"Grg..... How can...." The king was seen giving up, his two eyes were now emitting a Golden Light.

"Good, I'll start this story from when I get to Rondelia City..."

Ren began to tell his story, from the beginning he reached Rondelia City. Then, about the duke's daughter oppressing the weak. Then his encounter with Rin-Yu, comes to a night where Rondelia City is attacked by a mysterious group of people.

Ren told me with all earnestness, every detail he said clearly.

As if, that incident had just happened Ren. Ren looks like an amazing storyteller when he tells this.

"In conclusion, I was the one who saved Rondelia City."

"Done..." Ren ended the story with a smile.

"O-Omong Empty! Criminals like you are definitely good at chatting! I can't believe your story!" Prince Etharez yelled in disbelief.

"My boy...!" The King shouted furiously.

"So, you talk about it! He's not at all.... Lied." The king said this with a face of despair.

"My king?! How..maybe." The Queen closed her mouth and shouted in disbelief.

"Right That Mu-No, Dad! That's not possible-"

"Shut up! Do you doubt my [Eye of Truth] which is a blessing from the gods..?" The king snapped at the two, then showed his two shining eyes.

The Queen and the Prince fell silent, having no choice but to trust him. It is impossible for both of them to deny [Eye of Truth] which is a blessing from the Gods.

Proks.

"Bk.Ck. Family quarrels are not good, the key to happiness is family harmony."

'What did this man say?' Everyone thought the same thing over Ren's strange words arriving. Ren's words are the truth, but they don't fit into the current atmosphere.

"Pfft Hahahs... Failed yes, even though I was trying to melt the current gloomy atmosphere." Ren laughed, only he laughed.

"I want to ask you something.." The king looks gloomy.

"Oh, what is it?"

"Who are you really..?"

"Heh.... Who knows.?" Ren was seen saying coldly, himself looking at the King seriously.

"All right...." Ren stood up from his throne, he walked then stopped and looked at the clear Sky.

"Be my subordinate, then I will tell you..."

Suddenly, everyone who heard this was shocked. A man wanted to make the King his subordinate, even in a dream they never thought of this.

"How dare you!" The prince shouted furiously, the veins on his head were prominent. Indicates that he is really angry at this time.

The King let out the same shock. Although his pride had been lowered so far, but the experience of being a King made him still able to think coldly.

"Haa... Are you crazy? Being your subordinate means you want to seize the throne and become the King of this Kingdom of Aulzania?" The king asked calmly.

"My king..." The Queen looked worried, she was worried that the King would hand over the throne to this unknown person.

"....." The King's words made Ren speechless. His face looked astonished, in his expression it was obvious that he was muttering 'What is he talking about?' in her heart.

"Pffts... Haha... What kind of stupid thing are you thinking! I didn't think it out... How could I possibly want to be King in a small place like this?" Ren laughed mockingly at the King.

"Grggs... What do you mean...?" The king could not resist his frustration.

"It's enough dad! he's just playing us!"

Nah!

Ren snapped his finger....

"Then.... Rialna Asdeen Ri Aulzania, Etharez Hilren Ri Aulzania, Fraudlin Hurgart. Then..."

"Esdagius Losgan Ri Aulzania, Watch with your eyes well - well.... Here, my true figure...!"

Swoosshhhh!!

A strong wind suddenly appeared, forming a vortex with Ren as its center. Then, a blood-red fog shot out from Ren's body, the mist following the vortex in the form of beautiful threads.

When the blood-red thread hit Ren's skin. The skin will peel off, showing a milky-white skin in it.

A moment later, the wind stopped, the fog disappeared. Leaving only a Ren still standing in the same place. However, his figure was completely different...

Her hair turned shiny black. His eyes turned bright red. Milk-white skin is now visible there. Ren's previously ugly face had now turned into a very handsome man. The clothes that Ren was wearing had changed, into an elegant outfit in black.

When compared, Ren's form this time with the previous one. It is like the sky and the earth.

Everyone was stunned, staring at the figure of Ren who had changed. They were all dazzled, astonished and captivated by a figure that could be called a masterpiece before them.

Deg Dag!

"Kawk...." The king coughed suddenly.

Awakening everyone who was still stunned by Ren's changed figure.

"R-Rajaku...?!!" The Queen screamed when she realized the fallen King had fainted in a red cube.

"Dad! Daddy's! what the hell is going on?! Get me out of here!"

Dang! Dang!

The red cube let out a heavy sound when it was struck by the Prince. He tried to destroy the red cube even if it was all for nothing.

"My son Esdagius, are you having trouble sleeping again?"

A beautiful woman was sitting next to a luxurious bed. He spoke to a handsome little boy lying on the bed with his eyes open.

"Mother, will you tell me a story so I can fall asleep?"

The little boy looked sulking, at a woman who was none other than his own mother. In response to her son Rindukan, the woman simply smiled gently. A smile from a mother that really warms the soul.

"Of course, what if Mom told me a new story?"

"A story ba-ru...?" The little Esdagius tilted his head comically.

"Pulse.. I started ya.."

Thousands and thousands of years ago, when the world was in a time of peace. A portal Space time and dimensions arrived - arrived open. An unknown race emerged from within that Portal. A race that is cruel and has no mercy.

They are arbitrarily disrupting the whole world. Oppress someone who is weak, and torture anyone who tries to resist. They considered people other than those from their race to be mere trash.

At that time the world was engulfed in great chaos, bloodshed everywhere.

The era in which this occurs is also referred to as the Age of chaos and birth.

"Mother, I understand if it's chaos. But what does it mean with birth?" Little Esdagius asked his mother.

"You will understand after hearing this story until it's finished.. I continue yes. "

The original Nine Races of this world, namely Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Demi-Humans, Angels, Elves, Spirits, Dragons, and Demons tried their best to fight back. However, the strength of the new Race was too strong, the nine races that were united could not even defeat them.

"Ehh?? Isn't that too unfair, Mother?"

"Right, that's not fair my son. But..."

Seeing the pain experienced by the original Race of this world, the gods did not remain silent. The gods bestowed blessings on the leaders of every race that existed. They were given a blessing.

"Crown..?" Little Esdagius looked confused.

"Truly my son. a Crown."

The Crown given by a God is no ordinary Crown. Rather, an engraved seal was implanted on the soul of every leader of the Race. This engraved seal is called...... [The Crown of Continents].

"Clown?" Little Esdagius bit his tongue.

"Haha.. You're my son's fault, the truth is the Crown."

[The Crown Of Continents] is granted by a God along with the Right to rule a continent. The nine continents were led by nine different Races. The people who hold [The Crown Of Continents] are called [Continents Holder, The Monarch].

After the nine leaders of the Race became a Monarch, they possessed immense strength. A force capable of resisting the new Race that invaded this world.

The battle between the Nine Monarchs with the new invading Race lasted a very long time. Before finally... The King of that new Race appeared to this world, even with the Grace of Gods, nine Monarchs were still not enough to defeat a King of that new Race.

The world was engulfed in despair, upon learning that the Nine Monarchs were even defeated. Everyone's hope for life has been cut off, they just resignedly accept death will come to them.

"Then, how are we still alive today mother?" Little Esdagius asked his mother again.

"You are smart, my son..."

By the time the Population of the Nine Races had been reduced to almost extinction.

The Monarchs prayed once more to the Gods, they were expecting a new miracle from the Gods.

It was then that a mysterious person suddenly appeared in this world. That person had a mighty power, one by one the new races that invaded the world were wiped out. Until the moment where only the King of the New Race remains.

The two fought fiercely, saying, Mountains were destroyed, Seas were split, and Lands were Shaken as they fought. Describe how incredible and desperate their fight was.

"Who won the fight, mother?"

"Luckily, the fight was won by a mysterious figure."

When the new Race had been completely defeated. The world is full of joy, people cry happily because the peace that has been lost for a long time has returned. The existing Nine Races, were very grateful to the figure who defeated the new Race. The figure decided to settle in this world, the figure named itself as Ras... Vampire.

"Eh?! A vampire?! not that they are a race that is hated because they like to do arbitrarily - mena?" Little Esdagius was surprised.

"Haha... Father and Son must have differences My Son, as well as the Vampires. They used to be a respected and commendable race. The Vampire race is now mostly just boasting of the achievements of its ancestors in the past..."

"Ehh.... I don't understand Mother at all. Then, where did the Monarchs go..?" Esdagius asked again.

"Nobody knows exactly where they went. Clearly, they are still believed to be alive today..." The woman smiled at her son, and then stroked his sleeping son's head.

"Esdagius My son, you are endowed with a unique eye of the God. Mother is sure, one day you will find the Monarch..."

"What does that have to do with my eyes?"

"When you grow up, you'll understand..... Already - already, fast sleep."

The woman went out to this room.

"Oh.. Mother forgot one thing, don't tell this to anyone but the Royal Family..."

The woman then closed the door, leaving little Esdagius alone looking confused.
