Revenge of the Son of the Nobles

Chapter 11: Hope (3)

A news circulates to all corners of the world, a news as horrendous as the news of the threat from unknown creatures.

But this news is good news, news that again grows the hope of all mankind.

"In different parts of the world, there have appeared people chosen by the power of light, the same power as the power of the Great Emperor Maximillian August!" Someone exclaimed with enthusiasm and happiness.

"Campus those damned demons! I'm sure that the power of light will return to this world." Other people also exclaimed so emotionally.

"Even this time it's not just one person, but many people!" The other is no less emotional.

They were all really excited by this news, their belief in the gods grew again, "God did not leave us! The gods have lowered his help!"

Everyone had fun, the streets were decorated with lights, the whole city in the world built an altar in the center of the city for offerings to the Gods, the women cooked for parties, children were running in the streets blowing trumpets, countless fireworks were lit to enliven the celebration.

"What a pleasant view, Gabriel." The queen who was eating skewered meat in a stall said to Gabriel who was sitting next to her.

"It's true." Gabriel nodded as he stared at the barrage of fireworks adorning the night sky.

"You know? Tesla wanted the destruction of his world, but he stopped all plans halfway through. He said humans have suffered enough." Said the Queen who was also enjoying the fireworks show.

Gabriel turned to look at the Queen, he had never heard of the background of Tesla, a scientist responsible for the development of technology in Shadow City.

"In Tesla's world, someone who is able to create something new will get great appreciation and fame, Tesla is one of them, even he is the most genius among them," The queen paused for a moment to sip her hot drink.

"Tesla was a man of extraordinary intelligence, but he had no interest in fame and fortune, all he wanted was good for mankind." Gabriel looked at the Queen, while telling the story of her comrades, the Queen always told it with all her heart. Even Gabriel could hear the Queen's trembling voice and see her eyes glittering at this moment.

"But like most good people, they always get bad treatment and injustice" the Queen and Gabriel's gaze met, a smile on the Queen's lips. "Even his fellow inventors began to steal Tesla's ideas and introduce them to the world as their own inventions."

Gabriel was not inexhaustible with the contents of the human head in Tesla's world, a person as great as Tesla who was able to make Shadow City like a fantasy world wasted by humans in his own world.

"Although Tesla did not bother about it, he was worried about the stupidity of colleagues who only stole the capital. 'If I don't exist, did none of this ever come into being?' that's how he thinks."

Humans are funny creatures, so the Queen often says, and Gabriel, a human, agrees.

"Until there is an event that makes his patience run out, makes him hate all humans. At that time, I who had just met with Rangda and Memphis and his subordinates invited him to join. Without a second thought, Tesla agreed to it on the same terms as you." The Queen said with a meaningful smile.

"Destruction of the world." Bawdle Gabriel.

The queen nodded, "Tesla devised such a plan to exterminate humans through a cruel war, he even worked behind the scenes and created special weapons to destroy mankind. But just as the weapon was used twice, Tesla decided to stop his plans. 'Too many innocent people are victims' that's what he said."

"He stopped that because basically, he's a human who cares about other humans" Gabriel said.

The queen smiled, she again chewed on her skewered meat and sipped her drink. Gabriel pensively paused for a moment and then asked the Queen, "Do you want me to stop all these plans I've put together?" The queen shook her head, fondly stroking Gabriel's head.

"I want you to do whatever you want. Stop, destroy it right now, or go on with it all. It's all up to you."

Gabriel felt very safe and calm as the Queen stroked his head like now, the sense of security she felt from the Queen felt different from the sense of security that the white-robed figure that nurtured her before meeting the Queen.

"Then I will continue on, I will see the end of everything I see today."

Gabriel's reply sounded calm but it felt cold and cruel, the Queen only smiled hearing that. "Then finish it, Gabriel." The queen grabbed Gabriel's head and held him tightly to his chest, they remained that way for some time to come.

****************

A few days after the events in the forest, Alex continued to practice using his strength, finally he managed to find the strength exerted by the figure of light. That is controlling the unique creatures that he saw in the lake, or the so-called Elves.

- BWOOSSH

A burst of flames shot out from Alex's palm grabbing a large chunk of rock a few steps ahead of him.

"Mahoo ...." The villagers who saw him were stunned with admiration, they did not expect that Alex actually had superpowers, they thought he only hallucinated while in the abyss.

Alex smiled with satisfaction, his facial expression sparkling despite his breath and his body wet with sweat.

"Good work my lord, you managed to master the power of medium-level fire."

The fairy was in the form of a red snail with a black shell crawling on Alex's shoulder, a reddish dim light enveloping his body. It was the fairy who lent her fire power to Alex.

"It's all thanks to you too, thank you very much." Alex smiled at the fairy.

"It's my job." He said it was so, but from the tone of his speech he seemed very happy to be praised.

Alex was still unfamiliar with the fairies treating her with great honor, as if she were an impromptu noble. Glad he was, it just felt weird.

"I'm counting on you next." Alex spoke to another fairy who was a butterfly the size of a bird with a greenish complexion."

"It is with pleasure my lord." The light that enveloped the fairy shone brighter, Alex's body also emitted a greenish glow.

Alex stretched his hand forward, gathering spirit energy in his palm.

- WHOOSSHH

BOOM

- WHOOSSHH

- WHOOSSHH

BOOM

BOOM

Two similar attacks shot back from Alex's hand, two basins forming on the surface of the boulder. The people who were watching opened their umbrellas, the stones scattered by Alex's attack flew all the way to where they were watching.

It was a shockwave attack with an air element, the element Alex was currently controlling the most. Yesterday he could only fire the attack once, now he could fire three attacks at once, and even then he had practiced the attack with other elements.

Alex then sat down with a body full of sweat, breathing heavily. The wind and water fairies immediately use their powers to cool Alex's body.

"Thank you." Alex smiled at the fairies, they just laughed in response. The low-level elves were indeed unable to speak, they could only show expression.

People other than Alex seem to be unable to see the fairies around Alex, they can only be seen when using force or indeed want to appear.

"What a son, you are, even when you are tired and hot, the fairies are happy to cool your body." Complaints of Alex's friends who walked over.

"Yes ... How else would you." Alex shrugged, his friends stared at Alex as if.

Alex laughed at their reaction. "You wanna join?" Alex asks the wind and water fairies around him to cool down his friends as well.

Only then did the campmates laugh and sit down near Alex, they immediately stroked Alex's shoulders and brought him snacks and drinks.

Of course, the attitude of the sycophant is just a joke between friends, without Alex using the power of the coolant they will still sit nearby. Even without massage and banquet.

Damn indeed.

"When I went into town, the people at the market were talking warmly about something." Said one of Alex's friends with curls and reddish skin.

"What are they talking about, Ad?" Alex asked, he was indeed rare to the city, because his task was to collect herbs and mushrooms to be handed over to the village healer.

"Say people with special powers have sprung up in different parts of the world." Obviously a friend called Ad, his real name is Adrian, but people call him Ad. It tastes better on the tongue.

'There it is.' Inner Alex, the people who referred to the figure of light as his comrades had already started to appear.

"From what I've heard, in the western continent there is Ferdinand Notaras Chevallaire of Vasilius, Haznav Mataus it was from Petra, Damian Mathvelli of Baltigo, Alonso Cornivus Duterte of Zirae Levanto. Who else is it? Much deh. Oh, of course in Arthagon there's Alex Collin." Gurau Adrian, Alex's other friends laughed at it.

Alex smiled at his laughing friends one by one, maybe after this he would not see their faces again, soon he would plunge into battle sooner or later. A battlefield where no one knew what they were going to face.

"You why Alex? Diem aja daritadi." Andre patted his shoulder, Alex shook his head, he was trying to hold back tears.

One by one his memories in this village with his friends began to mill around in his mind.

It felt like just yesterday he and his friends were running towards the lake and taking a bath there when summer came, now he had to take responsibility to protect the humans. Especially the people around him.

"Sir! Time to eat for nothing!" Alex's sister yelled at him from a distance, Alex immediately followed his sister to the house, Alex's friends began to disperse one by one.

"Alex! Alex! Where're you?!"

But he had not yet entered the house, another voice was heard shouting at him, the man was Tony sir, he looked for Alex. When she saw Alex walking towards the house, she gave a small smile, gesturing for Alex to come closer.

Next to Mr. Tony, look someone with neat clothes, not fancy, just neat. But Alex can guess that this guy is a messenger or something.

Mr. Tony started introducing the guy. "His name is Arnold Bauved, he is a Count who is usually assigned to be a delegate."

Alex was stunned, he did not expect a delegate to come to his village, even more so he was a Count. Alex immediately bowed respectfully, "Hail Count Arnold Bauved, I did not expect someone with the title of Count to come to this humble village."

The smile rang on Count Arnold's lips, "Just relax, young man. As Tony said, I am a delegate of the Arthagon Kingdom. Can you guess what I mean?"

Alex was speechless, his sister looking at Count Arnold timidly from behind Alex's back. Then he nodded, "You intend to take me along to the capital of Arthagon right?" Count Arnold nodded, "Both right, I came as an envoy to ask you to join the Special Unit Education Academy, and it's in Heinzgard's Kingdom"

Hearing that, Alex's sister looked at Alex with a shocked expression, as well as the people around them.

"The name is indeed the academy, but in fact it is not much different from the military." Count continued.

Without hesitation, Alex nodded in agreement, "I'll be there."

Count's face looked pleased with Alex's reply, he patted Alex on the shoulder, "This is a shoulder that carries heavy duty, we all put our hopes on you."

Alex's face looked nervous, a Count was being so friendly to him, it was fun, but it felt a little strange.

"Ah, can you show me your strength?"
