Chapter 41 - THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CALAMITY

When they exited the guild, the crowd is mostly dispersed which allows them to walk freely without being stuck in the crowd. They soon reached to a hideout where a luxurious carriage parked in front of it. They entered the building to received cheers from the people inside it. 

"Tell me, where is your prince? I wish to meet him,"

"H-he's right over there, follow me,"

A man leaded Aether, Raye, Will and Al towards a room where there were two guards guarding it and preventing people from entering. The man whispered into one of the guard's ear and that guard took a glance at Aether and was shocked.

"I-I didn't know the Perfect Mage was visiting the Kingdom of Sahhara! Please do enter,"

Both of the guards move aside and allowed Aether and the others to enter. The man who led them stayed outside since it was 'top secret discussion' said by the Perfect Mage. 

"You must have be the Perfect Mage, this wall are thin so I overheard your conversation you guys had outside,"

"Pardon for the intrusion your highness, Ereldell Don Sahhara,"

That was the name of the first prince who got recently married. Inside the room only consist of the first prince, his wife, his attendant, Aether, Raye, Will and Al. 

"Now then, I were just traveling around the Kingdom of Sahhara just to encounter this disaster,"

"I'm sorry for this current situation, Perfect Mage Aether Lupen,"

"No no, this isn't your fault, no one could expect this happening...So, what do you plan to do?"

"...,I can't contact my father since the signal were cut off after this barrier covered our kingdom, he hasn't made any further notice yet, will you help us, Perfect Mage Aether Lupen?"

"Whether I help you or not isn't my choice, us Esperia only listens to order made by the king and him only, not even royalties are able to command us,"

"I supposed so..."

"Buuut, I couldn't ignore people crying for help while knowing that I could do something about it,"

"So..."

"I would help, but I can't do anything that big which if my king find out, I'd be in huge trouble, that's why..."

Aether suddenly place both of his hand onto Raye's shoulders and said:

"This is where this hero---Raye Winston and his party comes in and help you!"

"Oh? Now that's a shocker,"

"W-w-w-what?"

"What's wrong? Didn't you said you would save this kingdom, you were so heroic that time, as if you were like a knight in shining armor..."

The first prince doesn't know how to respond to this situation so he let out a small chuckle. 

"Now then, how do you plan to help...uh Mr Raye Winston?"

"Oh uh...I don't have a plan yet..."

"Pardon?"

Suddenly, a loud thud sounded from the outside. People inside the shelter went out to check a noticed few gigantic eldritch beast roaming outside. The beast are in black and have a sword. They have two large horns so sharp it could slash the sky. 

"It seems that the city is deserted so I decided to invite a few 'friends' from the dungeon to make things lively!"

The voice in the speaker spoke again as the beast noticed the people from the shelter and dashed towards them.

As the first beast was about to slash the shelter, a huge debris from the fallen clock tower hit it and sent it flying backward. Aether walked out as he kicked a few other large debris and killed the other beasts that were also dashing towards the shelter. 

"H-how is that possible..."

One guy among the crowd gathered at the gate of the shelter questioned himself and Aether responded by simply saying:

"I just nullify the mass of the debris weakly so it wouldn't last long and kicked it while it is still 'weightless' so its mass would return by the time it hit the beast,"

The crowd are puzzled by Aether's explanation as more beasts started dashing towards the shelter. 

"Let's try Miss Rin's powerful bullet technique,"

Aether recreated the fire magic that he used to defeat the assassin Karvashe Rin. The fire arrow shotted so fast but failed to kill nor hurt a single beast.

"Interesting..."

Raye came running from the building towards the gate. Then came Al and the prince and his wife. Lastly Will walked out calmly.

"What are those beast?"

"Those are beast from the dungeon, judging by how powerful they are, they must be from the deeper part of the dungeon,"

"That's not possible...the only nearby dungeon is the dungeon in the dune, and we just conquered it not too long ago-"

"Mr Raye, dungeon shaped itself after being conquered, those are the newest beast of the deeper part of the dungeon, I supposed you should know this after conquering the dungeon,"

Raye tilted his head down as if he was disappointed of himself for forgetting this information that was told to him a week ago.

"He is absolutely right, the beast you're seeing right now are beast that are mana resistant, so your pesky magic tricks would not hurt them Perfect Mage Aether Lupen,"

The voice from the speaker sounded again. But this time it wasn't from the speaker, but from the top of the exploded clock tower. There stood a man holding a wand with a magic circle at the tip which enhanced the voice, making it louder to hear down below. 

"So my suspicion are correct..."

Aether took out his wand from his cloak and used the same magic that was used by the man that stood on the top of the exploded clock tower.

"You must be Enceladus Lauren, one of the warlock of calamity I supposed,"

"I'll give you that, however, the beast that you provoked are now really mad and so as their pack,"

Aether looked towards the beast and saw one of them getting up from the large debris pinning him onto the ground. A few other beasts did the same as they let out a huge exhale. 

"This beasts are from the even deeper part of the dungeon so there are a heck of a ton of them!"

"The dungeon shaped more level..."

Raye muttered to himself as he drew out his sword and prepared for the battle.

"Well then,"

Aether walked forward a few steps and stopped. 

"Let's also give them heck ton of a battle!"
