( A few seconds prior to whatever that have just taken place with Ryuu ) :
The moment that the attack on Gluttony landed and as a result its life was ended , but the attack itself resulted in silencing the whole battlefield enemies and allies alike .
All those who witnessed the sudden attack just now were both in shock and awe and it was quite apperant in their eyes, they were so shocked that the monsters were actually able to react to what just happened much faster than them as they begin to search for a way to flee from the battlefield .
But luckily the sudden shift in the earth beneath them and the strong voice ordering them to continue to chase those fleeing monsters and to completely wipe them out regaind some of their clarity back , luckily .
After witnessing the entire area around the monsters suddenly began to shift into some sort of a cage engulfing most of the monster's army in it , making it more easier for them to finish those now trapped monsters more easily .
They all looked at the figure that was currently making his way towards the city walls, walking with quite unhurried steps and surrounded by an aura of untamed confidence , they all give him their thanks in their hearts as they all high ranking Adventurers and the lower ranking ones understood that without this guy they could have been most likely wiped out .
Especially after the appearance of the second in command under the Demon King, Gluttony the moment he appeared he actually took a form that brought back some bad memories to all the veteran high ranking Adventurers .
Then that hella of a monster that could have wiped all of them out while using the least amount of strength actually got dismembered in half and in one strike at that by a anonymous young guy .
But awe and respect wasn't the only expressions that were only on the battlefield, they were just the expression of majority of people currently who had no problems whatsoever with that guy being that strong , these expressions could be pretty much associated with the neutral people currently in the battlefield .
But for those who harboured ill intentions towards that guy before, they all had a terrified expressions on their faces as if they were already expecting what kind of misshapes that were going to befell them soon and some began to involuntarily speak what was on their mind outwardly .
Lamenting why did they offend someone who had this much strength in the first place, the amount of money that the Noble gave them were quite much that was for sure .
Or at least they all thought so at first, but now after seeing him deleting an SS Rank monster from existence and in a blink of an eye at that , they began to curse themselves outloud for taking this job in the first place, some of those curses were directed towards the noble man who put them up for this .
All what they hoped for now was to do their best on the battlefield and show him their worth and that if left them be, they will turn out to be a good people from now on, if he just gave them that chance , but as he paid them no attention and continued on his way towards the city walls, they took a breath of relief and they turned their full attention to their act of redemption, wiping out the rest of the monsters.
Some people who spoke previously on whether would he be able to escape being implicated with that Sullen and the crown prince and whether would he be able survive with his whole body or not .
They weren't sure of whether should they laugh or cry, someone with this much strength can clearly clash with most of the high ranking authorities and big names in the whole kingdom, why would he be willing to give face to anyone especially when that someone being weaker than him , so they were finally able to understand why was he acting so composed even while going against the subordinate of the crown prince .
As for that Sullen and his cowardly little brother , the brother was still sticking to his brother back waiting for every command that his brother was going to give him, but after witnessing what just happened his reaction was the most severe one in the entire battlefield .
He peed himself and because of how close was he to the big brother of his, he unintentionally soaked his big brother as well, but Sullen was completely unaware of this happening since he fell in a long trance , being incapable of removing what just happened from his brain .
And remembering that he had pretty much plotted against sugh a powerful figure was giving him the urge to slap himself and his brother to death, no his brother was the instigator behind all of this, so he might be able to still be on the good sides of that mighty hero and who knows, maybe he even might get the chance of being one of his subordinates , at least that what he thought .
But feeling as if his back was soaked with something warm completely in contrast to the cold sensation that might be felt from the sweat, the stench was so strong that it repelled everyone that were surrounding both of them, as he was turning he began to wonder, did he really pee on himself .
But seeing the uncomfortable expression on his younger brother face and the wet marks on his trousers and seeing how was he still sticking to him, the gears in his mind began to turn fast and soon enough he had a clear idea of what just happened , he give his brother a few pats on the shoulder as if comforting him about everything that just happened and saying that it was okay and to not be worry about it .
The little brother of his looked at him in awe and worship, as if he didn't just wet himself just now and he was just about to thank his brother and tell him that he loved him and how much his words meant so much for him , the next gesture of his big brother completely dismissed those illusions that he just had .
His big brother Sullen suddenly raised his other hand and then he proceeded to slap him him repeatedly and with no holding back ,then he began to transform from slapping him to beating him up completely .
A few seconds later that little brother was now laying on the ground whimpering and panting and the love and worship that he had for that brother of his had completely disappeared , the big brother of his used a cleaning spell on himself and removed the horrible stench from earlier , but left the chubby brother of his that was laying down injured on the ground in the same state .
Sullen was now looking at his injured brother with no ounce of compassion, if anything he was actually happy to see him laying in front of him like that wondering how exactly could he be able to benefit more from the death of his brother , thinking that he might offer his brother's head to that honorable hero from earlier on the premise of him leaving him alive .
His brother already somehow aware of what was his brother thinking felt as if might be at the end of his life and with a broken heart began to channel his strength and by using the last amount of strength that he can gather and muster, he actually decided to doom himself and his brother with no ounce of hesitation or consideration that he might be actually wrong about his brother motive and resolve .
He looked at his brother and seeing him staring back so coldly his moves didn't pause for even a second as he smiled and directly detonated himself and the last thing that he was able to see, was actually the horrified expression that was printed all over his older brother face as they were both engulfed in a huge explosion that damned them both .
Luckily due to the previous strong stench, people that were around held a clear safe distance between them and the two brothers, resulting in making them able to stay out of the explosion range , so they weren't affected much by it .
But they were more curious about what had just happened to the two siblings, they saw the older one turning to his younger brother and presuming that he was angered by his brother soaking him with his urine , he decided to beat him up .
But they the bystanders never expected him to be cruel enough to beat him almost to death, what was he really thinking, did he really went crazy or something, who knows .
They expected it to end by him trying to help his brother back up and get someone to heal his injuries but no, the scene that happened next would still circle around Trond for months and even years to come .
The already at the doorstep of death younger sibling suddenly had a crazed look and a strange smile on his face, we thought that he might have lost it just like his brother, then boom an explosion suddenly appeared and engulfed the two brothers in it and after the fire of the explosion died out two seconds after, all that remained of both of them were nothing but ash and the scorching marks where they used to exist .
The people witnessing the scene all sighed heavily then involuntarily looked at the back of the young man who was currently making his way to the city walls, unbothered and maybe even completely unaware of what just took place in here and without wasting no time they all recorded what just happened in their mind as probably the result of offending that young man .
And how did the two siblings doomed themselves by offending such a figure .
( Pov change at the city walls ) :
As for the last two set of eyes that witnessed him killing the Gluttony in one strike and even before that they held some resentment towards the guy in discuss , both were now frowning for different reasons .
Those eyes belonged to the crown prince who was currently so shocked that he almost collapsed to the floor but he was supported by someone so not to fall .
The one who supported him was non other the last of the two frowning guys, the entity that was with the crown prince, but even though it too was shocked beyond measure it was able to compose itself pretty fast .
The crown prince was finally up after being helped up by the said entity , but his shock was still there, he then began to say in a stuttering way :
I don't believe that i'm able to do what you tasked me with , i'm afraid that he would split me in two the moment that i came in contact with him .
His tone was desperate and he was already expecting to be reprimanded by the entity in front of him but in a complete contrast to what he expected and anticipated the entity didn't reprimand him or anything like that, it just nodded her head weakly and fell into thought , leaving him quite amazed on how the things easily went .
He is really more stronger than even my brother Blazan without removing his limiter, but i feel an odd feeling just by looking at him it was as if he is strong but as if all his strength was nothing but an illusion, weird but intriguing .
Its words shock the heart of the crown prince beside it, as he too fell in thought on what could what it just said could possibly mean , but without clarifying, it continued to say :
Give me the Space Banishing Seal, i will have to do it myself, he is too dangerous for our plan, a real threat to the success of our plan and that weird feeling that i just felt if true it could indeed confirm what i'm already suspecting , i should be able to deal with him with quite ease .
The crown prince took a long breath of relief as if there was a heavy weight on his chest that was now beginning to be lifted, he hurriedly did as he told completely forgetting to ask about the mysterious words that it just said and he then directly handed that parchment Over to it .
Then it suddenly disappeared from his view and a second later he saw it appearing in front of the target and saw that its hand was currently holding two sets of parchment paper of different colors , one was the Space Banishing Seal that he just handed over and the next was a yellow colored talisman that he had no idea about .
It then began to outstretched the hands that held the parchments and stuck them on that Ryuu in a swift and flawless like motion, then it again appeared beside him with a carefree expression on its face that completely baffled him , was that all that he needed to do really ? .
The moment he looked back to check on how did it go, he was surprised to see that the yellow talisman suddenly exploded to particles of lights then a bubble began to engulf the hero Ryuu and had him completely bound to it .
Then a sphere appeared engulfing both him and the bubble inside in it as it began to rise up towards the sky , witnessing the troubled expression on the face of that guy as the sphere he was in began to rise higher and higher, the crown prince pale complexion from before began to actually dissolve and instead he was now getting back to being as cheerful as before and noticing that no one was noticing what was happening he even began began to wave at the guy who was still trapped in the said sphere as if saying his goodbyes .
Then the sphere began to accelerate even more as it pierced through the sky and completely disappeared into the void .
(Current timeline ) :
Don't be happy so soon, we might need to expect him to come back soon .
The words that were just spoken by the entity completely shattered the crown prince rejoicing as he hurriedly asked why did it say so ? .
Tell me this first, are you certain that this guy came from another world .
Yes, i'm certain .
Weird .
What is the problem, if i may ask ? .
That hero of yours have some kind of air around him that should be impossible for him to have in this land, that air around him could only be apperant on someone that came from outside of this land .
Couldn't it be related to him partaking in a contract with an entity from the outside as you have said before .
It's possible but due to the constraints The Shard put on everything that could be associated with the people from the Real World outside, it really shouldn't be possible , if he was really having this amount of weird air around him as a gift from the one who he made a pact with , then that would have been even more weirder .
Why is that the case ? .
If he did gained this much strength and had the aura of someone from the outside then that could only possibly mean that not only the entity that made a pact with him is strong, but it shows that he had some way to cover the tracks of that little guy from under the nose of The Shard and that he appreciate that guy talent and unknown potential otherwise he wouldn't have given him a tool like that .
Or he could be from the Real World in the first place and he was just sent here for the same purpose too and mission as us too .
Both of those probabilities held the same outcome and that was him coming back once more .
Where will that talisman lead him to exactly ? .
If no problem occurred it had enough energy to had him leave this entire island and had him thrown to the space debris that you call fog which in the best case scenario for him and of course if the one who was backing him didn't interfere it's very possible that he will be trapped in their for the rest of his life .
In the worst case scenario for him, he might ended up dying if my guess about his strength was actually true .
The crown prince was lost of what to say in response to that but he kept nodding his head in understanding, but as if he suddenly remembered something that he wished to ask, he said :
Whyweren't anyone paying attention to what was just happening just now ? .
I projected an illusion around the area to completely convince anyone who looked in this direction that everything was normal and completely hide what was really going on in the area .
But i will have you know that your spoiled sister just now used some sort of a weird skill to pierce through my illusion and even tried to disturb the plan , but the difference in the power systems that were used here, completely negated all of her efforts .
Did we have enough resources to finish the project ?.
The crown prince smiled awkwardly at the remark she said about his sister as he said :
Yes, we just received the lost portion needed for finishing the project from Vouce and we should be able to finish the project in a month or two .
For some reason i feel something isn't right, so you will probably have to stay alert and i believe the kingdom will need to close all the remaining borders this period .
I really hope that Shard was worth using such a precious talismans, otherwise i will be the only one who suffered losses .
What about that Gluttony death, will sir Blazan hold me accountable for it ? .
Don't worry Gluttony isn't actually dead .
How, didn't we just see him getting cleaved in half ? .
That was a mere body incarnation he used to be able to enter this island, his real body was still out there in the Real World .
Forgot all of that, for now focus more in hurrying the completion of the project in hand and yeah remember to declare that this guy Ryuu actually used a forbidden potion to kill that SS Rank monster then as a result his life was lost as well .
Make sure to say a few good words in his name and treat him as a hero, but wait a few days after we finish here before doing all that , for now i will make a trip to the Wicked Forest to tell my brother of what had happened here .
The entity said this and without giving him the chance to say anything, it disappeared heading in the direction of the Wicked Forest , leaving the now in quite a happy mode prince to do his own things .
The princess was still momentarily shocked and tired too, something that quite apperant from her endless panting, both Reince and the sword saintess came to her aid but she just shock her head and asked Reince to open a portal for the palace for her .
Which Reince did without any questions asked, the moment the portal opened the princess went inside and directly went to her quarter's and buried herself and her face into the bed and was quite complicated about how should she tell Hana about this .
She was able to clearly understood what was he trying to tell her in the last seconds before disappearing into the horizon, and she was unsure of what to feel .
She ended up muttering something while sighing hardly in the pillow beneath her, she was saying .
You must survive, you can't possibly die, fate won't allow you to, even if that's what you want .
