The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 61: Unexpected events

Tap Tap Tap

Typical Sounds of a Footstep overlap in a Corridor. It was the two people wearing the Academy's uniform that caused the Voice. With quick steps they move in a hurry.

One of the two was the Male Disciple who had previously guarded the Entrance Gate of Aulzania Academy. Right now, he was carrying out a Task of conveying a message to Master Fraudlin from a Man. Meanwhile, the one who accompanied her walk was the Female Disciple from Fraudlin, namely Chrena.

"I'm not responsible if Master Fraudlin gets angry."

Behind the silence that filled the Corridor, Chrena suddenly voiced out a statement that was difficult to understand. Then, the Male Student with Reflex asked again.

"Eh.... What's that supposed?"

"Right now, Master Fraudlin is in a difficult state to understand."

"Huh?"

The male student thought Chrena's answer was more difficult to understand. In the end, they continued walking without saying a word.

The silent atmosphere made their footsteps clearly audible along the Corridor.

This corridor was usually passed by the Disciples - Disciples from the Alchemy section, It was just that they were currently busy helping to recover the Capital after the great chaos that occurred yesterday.

"We have arrived...."

The footsteps of the two stopped in front of a Large Door at the End of the Corridor. For a moment, Chrena and the Male Disciple just silently stared at the Big Door before them. Even the Male Disciple gulped several times, imagining what Chrena said about her Master who was likely to be angry.

"Ah-ha... Can't I knock on the door?"

"I'm just dropping you off, not having the slightest obligation to disturb Master."

"Uh... I see, I'll show you the resolve of a real Knight."

The male disciple showed the determination of a Knight, as if - what he was facing right now could cause him to die on the battlefield.

"My friend, I hope you're always happy."

"Stop acting too much, what do you think Master Fraudlin is?" Chrena said Upset.

Chrena's words made the Male Disciple come to her senses. With an embarrassed-looking face, she smiled awkwardly at Chrena.

"uh? Right too, I'm sorry hehehe."

This time without any excessive action, he directly knocked the Great Door before him.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

Male Disciple deliberately did not knock excessively. In his Heart there was still a slight fear of the fury of that Alchemy Master.

However, there was no response from inside the Room. The male disciple was forced to knock back a second time.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

No answer at all ...

"Maybe ... Master Fraudlin is not around?" The male disciple asked Chrena hesitantly.

"Hm ... I think Master's still inside."

"No way, it's very clear there's no response whatsoever from behind the Door ...."

Huhahaha!

Chrena and the Male Disciple immediately stopped their conversation. The existence of a faint Laughter heard from behind the Great Door before them was the cause of all that. The two looked at each other with strange faces.

"What's that?" The male disciple asked Chrena, hoping she could get an answer. However ...

"Where do I know?" Chrena replied with a confused face.

Then the two of them brought their ears closer to the Great Door. Curiosity makes both forget that this is an impolite act.

From behind the Door, they heard a Voice from an Old Man speaking.

It's Treasure! It's Treasure! Thank you to Master for giving this! Ahahaha!

A figure of Fraudlin who said that with a disgusting face in the mind of Chrena and the Male Disciple. But they immediately pulled him off. They thought that it was impossible for an Alchemy Master to act like that.

This core is mine! Hahahaha, I feel so happy! Hm ... This was given to me right? Absolutely sure!

The voice of the Old Man who was shouting in excitement was again heard by the two of them. But this time, the two of them had decided on an answer.

"Hey, you're a Knight Disciple right?" Chrena glanced at the Male Disciple meaningfully.

"Yes ...." Reply to the Male Disciple with confidence.

"Good, prove your strength as a Knight and try to break down this door."

The male disciple replied with a confident nod. He then took a shift position, preparing to break the door.

"Shaaaaaa ..."

Brags! Brags! Brags!

The Sturdy Door made the Male Disciple a hard time to break through his defenses. With great effort, the Male Disciple continued to try and try to have the Great Door forcefully open.

"One more time! Haaa ...."

Brag!!!

The entire Force was deployed by the Male Disciple, as a result of which the door was successfully opened by force. The Great Door that looked so Sturdy had now been vandalized and fell into the interior of the Room.

The first thing they see is ... The Nightmare of an Old Man who was smiling was terrible.

"Just because I'm an Alchemy Master ... You think I can't teach you a lesson?"

Instantly Chrena and the Male Disciple instantly froze with a face that had completely turned pale. Chrena was the one who felt the most fear, how not, she was the direct Disciple of the Alchemy Master before him.

Chrena also knows that Fraudlin's Punishment is like Hell in a different sense.

"S-I'm sorry!"

"E-Eh? S-I'm sorry too!"

Both bowed while apologizing. Their speed in performing this act proved their fear towards Fraudlin who was smiling horribly.

"Give me an acceptable excuse ...."

Hearing Fraudlin's statement, the two men immediately explained as much as possible. Starting from the purpose of their arrival here to those who heard a faint voice from behind the Door.

Not to forget, they also clearly said the reason they decided to break the Door. They said they were worried and frightened by someone infiltrating Fraudlin's room.

"Ehm! Strange sounds you say ... Forget it, that strange voice is just your Hallucinations! I accidentally created an Illusion Potion and then attached it to the Door."

Fraudlin looked like someone trying to avoid something. The suspicions of Chrena and the Male Disciple increased. But Fraudlin's intimidating gaze made Desire want to refute them shrink.

"You understand, right? Now ... Who's this guy who wants to see me?"

"I only know His Name, he is the Man who calls himself ... Anryzel Dirvaren's."

Sit still and twist - spin the Gold Coins in hand. With both legs crossed and chin supported by the right arm. That's what Ren is doing right now, wherever and whenever, at any moment, he always poses like this. Of course only when he has free time.

As of this moment, he was waiting for a Male Disciple from Aulzania Academy who was sent to inform Fraudlin of his Presence.

The two friends of the Male Disciple did not speak at all if Ren did not ask. Therefore Ren felt a little bored and played Coins by spinning them.

"Hm? Is the Aulzania Academy really this quiet?"

"Eh? Not really, right now almost the entire Disciple is helping the Capital's recovery process."

"Truely, there were many Disciples as well who lost their Acquaintances at the time of yesterday's Incident."

"Isn't ...." Ren answered softly.

The words of the two of them accompanied by sadness touched Ren's Conscience a little. It's just that, Ren couldn't do anything at the moment, all of those events had passed. Victims who have lost their lives cannot be returned to the world.

There was a Regret that appeared in Ren's Heart. All because of his actions yesterday that are more concerned with the unbecoming emotions that are in his Heart. Had he chosen the safety of the residents of Aulzania City, the victims would not have been as numerous as they are today.

When Ren's mind was filled with a great sense of regret. A voice appeared ... A cold and piercing sound.

Conscience ... Is useless.

The deg!

"Math ...!" Ren groaned Sickness and Falling ...

Brakk!

Ren who was initially calm with his position suddenly fell. He groaned in pain and gripped the chest of his heart. The two disciples were very surprised, they quickly approached Ren and tried to help him.

"What's going on?!"

"Where do I know!"

However, just as they were about to help her, Ren turned towards them with a sharp look. So piercing, that the two disciples instantly stopped moving and did not dare to approach anymore.

"Nrank ...!"

Ren was still in pain in a kneeling position. The great pain that appeared suddenly started from a voice that sounded in his head.

"Yes ... Haa ... S-Dad."

Ren's face became increasingly pale and sweaty. He felt that his eyes were getting heavy and heavy. Same as when someone loses consciousness.

No need to wait a long time, Ren who tried hard to hold back consciousness finally gave up and lay on the floor.

"Where is this ...."

As far as Ren looked, there was only a white Space that had no boundaries. There was nothing here, just a white Space, purely just a white Empty Space.

Disoriented Ren tries to figure out where this place really is. On the one hand, this Empty White Space looked similar to a Space where Ren discovered the [Blade of Spirit Destruction, Aschalon] when in COTHENIC first.

"Ah.. Right, my Inventory."

A Hope arises when Ren recalls that in his Inventory there is a Weapon that can cut through dimensions. The weapon was the Sword of Nuxuria, for Aschalon and Ganzalan, Ren had never used them even once.

So Ren was unable to ascertain whether they could cut and destroy the Dimension or not.

"What .. doesn't work?"

But ... Ren's hope is instantaneous Sirna shortly after realising that his Inventory cannot be opened as hard as he tries.

Free ... This is not a place where you can use your power at will.

Ren immediately turned towards the voice that suddenly appeared behind him. There the figure of the Man with red Eyes was standing quietly. Staring at the confused Ren with a smile.

"Who are you?!" Ren asked with a panicked tone.

Even so, the red-eyed man even displayed a mocking smile.

Do you think that fake personality can fool me?

Ren was wide-eyed to hear the statement from the Red-Eyed Man before him. Ren, who had always succeeded in deceiving his enemy, was now rendered helpless before the man.

'How may ....' Ren muttered in Heart.

It was as if the Red-Eyed Man could read minds. He also replied to the murmur that was in Ren's Heart.

I've known everything about you. You're from the Other World, you're a Continents Holder and a Plan that you've put together in a very Secret way. I know it all ... So don't expect you to fool me.

"Hc ... Ahaha! All right, I gave up on tricking you. Then, I'll ask you one thing ...."

"Who are you and what's your reason for taking me to this place?"

Ren used a Tone of cold talk like a Sovereign. Perhaps, this was his true Personality?

I. .. am an Entity that only wants to commemorate you.

"Oh, what kind of warning is that?"

Remember this is good - well Destroy all useless Feelings in your Heart. I see there's a resemblance between the two of us. Whether it's a game of fate or something, I just want you to not experience what I'm going through.

"Hoo... Looks like you're a Good-Natured Man, too. Didn't you say I should wipe out useless feelings including the goodness of the Heart?"

I told you, I feel there's a resemblance between the two of us.

"Hm ... True - Really hard to understand ... Oh, hey, isn't your figure getting blurry?"

I am an Entity that should have disappeared from the World. This is something that is commonplace ...

"So so, I understand ... I will obey your words. But ... On condition that you convince me."

"What kind of experience do you hope I don't have?"

You are indeed ingenious, well, all this began in the past which has been very - very far passed ...
