Re:Starting as a Ridiculously Broken Great Spirit

Chapter 3: Sword Saint Shenanigans

Disclaimer(for the people who have read the chapter already): Completely forgor to put what Miklotov was gonna say about the mc near the end of the chap like I planned, so I edited that in, so yeah sorry and go ignore this message now.

Reinhard van Astrea P.O.V:

It has been nearly a year since the Royal family of Lugnica passed away due a mysterious illness and the Sage Council has temporarily taken over leadership of the nation. During that time I have continued my search for the 5th royal candidate, even amidst troubles with the Sacred Empire of Vollachia and my return from my recent duel with Cecilius. However, even during those times of near imminent conflict, I have not heard Miklotov sound so troubled as he is now. Alas, I now understand why as during my trip here I have heard passing rumors about the dragon tablet foretelling a new prophecy, and it has only ever done so when an immense calamity or event takes place and I worry I may be lacking in capabilities to deal with such a situation. Enough with my thoughts, I have arrived at the meeting place he has told me to go to, I certainly hope I am adequate enough to protect Lugnica and fulfill the task Miklotov assigns to me.

Miklotov: Welcome sir Reinhard van Astrea, current sword saint of the Astrea family.

Reinhard: I am sorry Lord Miklotov, but I do not think I am deserving of such a title, so please do not refer to me as such.

Miklotov: Ohohoho, I certainly do not think of such, and I think anyone would have to agree as well after seeing your recent fight, but I shall do as you wish and spare you the pleasantries. To be frank sir Reinhard, we find ourselves in a very troublesome predicament right now.

Reinhard: Would you allow one such as myself to know what this predicament is? Forgive me for I have overheard some of the servants, however, even If I believe I cannot do such tasks I will try my best for the sake of Lugnica and my expectations as a... Sword Saint of the Astrea family. Oh and I still do wish to know the specifics for all I heard were just passing rumors.

Miklotov: Very well, but you knowing of the basics at the very least spares me some trouble. In short... the Dragon Tablet has made a prediction... a very concerning one at that regarding a spirit.

Reinhard: A spirit? Forgive me if I am incorrect, but for the Dragon Tablet to consider such a spirit a threat it would have to surpass or be on a level similar to the Three Great Mabeasts or Beast of the End would it not?

Miklotov: That is exactly what is concerning. For a spirit of this level to appear means it is one of the four Great Spirits, or even the possibility of a recently born Great Spirit. That is not the most pressing concern however, if it were just a mere Great Spirit compared to what we are facing I would have simply ordered the knights or sir Julius and his spirit affinity to deal with the situation. What the Dragon Tablet has foretold is far greater a terror.

Reinhard: I apologize for asking so many questions, but a threat greater than a Great Spirit of this power, and to even refer to them as "mere Great Spirits"? I must admit even I would have trouble dealing with such a thing.

Miklotov: To be frank I quite honestly doubt that sir Reinhard. But the words spoken in the prophecy were of something of such great terror that I had to calm myself down for a day and take rest from my duties, I admit even now I am still quite shaken from what I read. If this were to get out not only would the council and election be in peril, but the entire Kingdom of Lugnica- no, the entirety of the world would be in panic.

Reinhard: What exactly would those words be then Lord Miklotov?

Miklotov: ....
