Chapter 18 - Majestic Idea - Book 1 End

ARTHUR LEYWIN

'I have a dumb idea, Sylv.' I grinned.

I felt her eyes widening as she realized what I was about to do. 'Just be careful, I might not be able to reach you if that portal does lead to Alacrya,' Sylvie sighed.

'I will be, don't worry.' I entered the portal and engulfed me. I felt wriggled, the colors combining—turning into a white light—then suddenly, I heard footsteps around me. I turned to my right and saw an Alacryan soldier running.

Activating mirage walk, I walked around the camp I was in, 'Am I in Alacrya?' I followed one of the soldiers and he led me out of the camp. My eyes widened and I grinned slightly as I saw ahead of me the structures that could never exist in Dicathen.

Taking a look around, I saw that I was in the middle of a desert.

I wore the ring that hides my horns since I knew how big the influence of someone with a horn here is. Taking out my clothes that I used to wear when I was a professor in the Central Academy.

Siphoning aether to God Step rune, I saw an aetheric trail leading up to the city ahead, which I know from the looks of buildings was the city of Cardigan. I activated God Step, and in an instant I was in the city.

The bellow of people resonated around me. Walking around, I listened to some of the gossip going around me, one of them talking about who could be the new Scythe and Retainer for Vechor since I killed Dragoth.

And that Victoriad was scheduled to happen in Vechor tomorrow.

'I don't care who they are, they will still die by my hands,' I walked away from the people, their voices now distant.

Then something caught my ears with mirage walk active, I followed the 2 people talking.

"Did you know that there's a new Sovereign," The guy on the left stated.

"Oh yeah, I did hear people talking about that, do you think it's real?"

"You know that I have a maid that works in Taegrin Caleum right?"

"Yeah and?"

"Don't tell anyone I told you this. The gossip is real! There are new Sovereigns, she said that she overheard Agrona personally training them, but she couldn't hear what their name was."

'New Sovereigns? How is that possible? Perhaps they are just half-breeds that Agrona personally wants to attend to? But why would he do that?' I turned away from the people and jumped towards the roof.

What the fuck is going on here in Alacrya. Did I change the future too much, is this how big the effect of Dragoth and Uto's death is? They're not even that significant. No way this is the effect of their death.

Something is going on here, and I need to know what it is. But first, my goal here in Alacrya, I need to get an acclorite, I know there's one here in Central Academy, but it is in the deepest part of it.

I suppose I can infiltrate it as a student knowing that I have a uniform here. I smirked and took out the uniform. I waited for night to come, as soon as the moon was above, I immediately activated God Step.

Purple mist trailed towards the room where I once taught them...I wonder how they are doing, I sighed and teleported. Wasting no time, I spread aether in the whole school, sensing 5 security guards going around the academy.

Eventually, motes of aether went towards the basement and there I felt. An aetheric mold into a rock, 'Bingo!' With that I ran, my steps silent, with the help of aether—I dodged the coming guards.
