The Rune Knight (Monster Tamer)
CHAPTER I The First Step
1.4 History part 2.
"Hallo Raizen long time no see, you're getting weaker huh, hehehehe," came the voice of someone behind the smog.
It looked faintly like the shadow of the body of a person who was moving to and fro while slashing some other shadow behind the smog formed from the explosion of a magic bomb.
"Come here Armstrong," I shouted and a light appeared above me. The light formed something like a human body.
A seraph mythical monster appeared above me while moving its wings which dissipated the smog slowly while healing my left shoulder. The wound on my left shoulder slowly closed and the pain slowly disappeared.
"Are you okay, your highness?" ask someone who just came running.
"I'm fine Felix. Immediately order the rune army to spread throughout the city to defeat the enemy," I said commanding the rune special division commander.
The fog of smoke had completely disappeared and I could see Albert was finishing off the germ soldiers very much. In addition, on top of Armstrong, Avalon was seen moving towards the fortress and spitting out laser beams outside the royal fort.
Suddenly a rumbling sound came from outside the royal fortress. The war sounds so boisterous there.
"Just calm down Raizen is probably my army" Albert said as he battled the enemy soldiers.
Finally the germans retreated and certainly no longer in the territory of the kingdom of Carleon.
I sat in a room with Albert. The sound of a wall clock was clear. The clock was far to the right of the table which was quite long. The size of the clock was incredibly large. Suddenly the sound of the second of the hour was getting faster. But the direction of the sound came from a different direction. I tried to find the sound and it turned out to be from the tap of Albert's finger on the table.
"What exactly happened to Albert?, does this also have anything to do with the letter you sent me?" I asked Albert seriously.
"Well that's how it is. I'm just guessing it looks like one of the mythical monsters behind all this" Albert replied very seriously.
Just this time I saw Albert talking seriously like this. I was confused as to what to respond to Albert.
"I can't linger here Raizen. I'll explain as soon as I can. For 10 years I've been trying to dig up information" Albert said, looking at me very seriously.
I can only nod and be confused. About 3 hours Albert talked and explained everything he knew. The point is that there are 2 kingdoms that have a big influence on the war. First is the Imperial kingdom, second is the Skypea kingdom. The occurrence of an attack on the majapahit kingdom 10 years ago according to Albert caused Luca's desire to try to defeat him first but fortunately failed.
Albert said goodbye to me and went up the Avalon through the window. I came down the stairs and looked for Felix in the royal hall.
"Please call Felix here" I asked the soldiers I met in the hall near the throne.
About 15 minutes later Felix walked up to me and knelt down.
"Stand Felix," I said
"Thank you, king" Felix replied, after which he stood up.
"Sorry to interrupt your time Felix, so how many fatalities are there on our part and Germa's side?" I asked Felix.
"Our kingdom is about 1000 dead and 700 wounded.The 1000 people are 750 soldiers and 250 are residents of our kingdom. While 500 soldiers and 200 of our population are being treated," Felix said after a brief silence.
"For the death of the soldiers of the kingdom of Germa about 700 soldiers were killed. While 400 soldiers were wounded and we are in prison including one of the generals Germa Galeo," continued Felix.
"I order some soldiers to prepare a funeral service for the soldiers who died. Then you bring it here, Galeo," I said, instructing Felix.
We interrogated Galeo from afternoon until night. We have some very useful information:
A week before the invasion the King received a guest from the Imperial Kingdom. She's a woman who's said to be a messenger from king Luca. After the meeting, King Darwin decided to attack Carleon.
Job king Darwin is an artemis who has a camer monster named Cruel. The monster has the ability to eliminate the air of existence and disguise the physical.
A magic bomb is a device created by the king of Einstein using the jewel of Ber. The bomb can already be mass produced in the kingdom of Germa.
The sound of Carleon's royal trumpet accompanies the burial of the soldiers and Carleon royal residents who were killed during the attack. Some soldiers and residents were crying as they watched their family and friends buried.
***
It has been 10 years since the kingdom of Carleon was invaded by the kingdom of Germa. The Kingdom of Carleon is currently very ready to face attacks.The last 10 years Carleon has often been the target of attacks from kingdoms whose territory is adjacent to it.
In addition some kingdoms have collapsed and are controlled by other kingdoms. For example, the kingdom of Germa, after attacking the kingdom of Carleon 10 years ago turned out to be destroyed by the kingdom of Uruk. The remains of the German soldiers held in my kingdom have pledged allegiance to Carleon including Galeo. The Kingdom of Skypea joined the Roman kingdom about 2 years ago because according to the king of Skypea they will not be able to follow the war.
I invite the kings to meet at Carleon 2 days ahead. Carleon is a job that has never attacked any kingdom so it has a strong enough reason to invite the radja to discuss. All the kings had also expressed their willingness to discuss in Carleon. So we were preparing to entertain the kings coming to Carleon.
The day the rajapun discussion arrived. The king of Uruk Rohan rode on his horse, carrying thousands of troops behind him from the west. Not far from there seen the Roman King Napoleon and former king of Skypea Bob who is now a counselor came to bring troops that are not outnumbered.
I let King Rohan and his 4 guards come in. So was the king of Napoleon with Bob's advisor and 3 guards were welcome in. After that came in succession the king of Luca, the king of Galan, the king of Laxus, the king of Walrus, the king of Monarch, and the king of Riyu.
Until finally one more person is waiting. Suddenly the entrance opened and the person who was waiting for it finally came. Yes it was Albert, he came without any bodyguards and troops.
You madman there's no morals in my heart mocking Albert.
"My goal to gather you here is to make a peace agreement throughout the kingdom in the archipelago," I began to open discussions.
They must have guessed what I was going to say at this meeting, so no one seemed surprised to hear my reason for holding the meeting.
"What good are we if we make peace now Warlock. You can see the territory of each kingdom today has changed a lot, especially the kingdom of Uruk," said king Riyu while mentioning my nickname given the kings 5 years ago.
"I don't mind returning your territory Riyu I will even give you a portion of the territory of Germa, but you must get out of the alliance of the 3 kingdoms" said the king of Rohan while looking at the allied kings.
"Do you agree with King Rohan on this peace treaty?" manya curious.
"Yes I agree on the origin of the alliance being dissolved," the king of Rohan answered my question confidently.
"Hahahaha, I wouldn't agree. If possible I will fight you all, I will" said the king of Luca without a shudder as he stood up and immediately left the room with his guards.
"I also left this meeting," the Monarch king said as he stood leaving the room.
"So what about you, king Ryu?" ask king Albert.
"I will follow this covenant if indeed king Rohan keeps his promise" explained king Riyu.
"I also agree with this agreement, there is no benefit to us fighting" said King Napoleon.
"Well, I promised you that, and I'm sure to keep it," King Rohan smiled happily as he placed his right hand against his left chest. It was a sign that the people of Uruk used to promise.
"What about you, king of Walrus?" ask the king Napoleon who was beside him.
"I agree with you, it's just that there needs to be cooperation in various areas of the agreement so that we can help each other" said the king of Walrus while giving input.
The results of this meeting 8 kingdoms agreed on peace agreements as well as cooperation agreements in various fields. Although the Laxus and Galan kings remained silent at the meeting, they also agreed to sign a treaty. This is called the Warlock Agreement.
After the meeting we held a party for a peace treaty. The kings and the guards talked warmly to each other. I'm also talking to Napoleon and Albert about what we need to do with the Royal and Imperial empires. But we have not found a definitive solution.
The color of the cloudy sky led to the return of the kings and their troops who had camped all night in the fortress of Carleon kingdom. I waved my hand from the top of the fortress to all of them. There was a king standing next to me. Yes, it was Albert.
"Hey why haven't you come home yet" I said, facing Albert.
"Ah what?" I was surprised by what Albert said.
"I want my son to continue the kingdom. He's 20 years old and pretty good in my opinion. Besides I want to take care of my grandson who will be 2 years old" said Albert who was quite serious talking in a happy tone.
Exactly 5 days after that there were 2 shocking news. First, news of Albert's descent from his throne was replaced by his son. Second, the news of the death of king Napoleon on the way home to the palace.
I was shocked to hear the news of Napoleon's death. He was replaced by his advisor, former Skypea king Bob. What really happened in my heart while contemplating.
There is no explanation as to why Napoleon died. After that king Bob declared war on the warlock treaty.
I got a letter from the king of Rohan, Riyu, and Lancelot, the new king of Majapahit, which is almost the same content. It is said that they were suspicious of the appointment of King Bob at the death of Napoleon.
Shortly thereafter, the kingdom of Berlian was attacked by Roman troops. The kingdoms of Konoha and Clover aided the defense of the Berlian kingdom. While the kingdom of Uruk attacked the territory of the Roman kingdom which is close to its borders.
Uruk was able to seize the former territory of the Skypea kingdom. But unexpectedly the kingdom of Berlian was defeated despite the help of the neighboring kingdom.
According to king Riyu the defeat of Berlian occurred due to the distrust of the king of Walrus against the reinforcements provided by the kingdoms of Konoha and Clover. So that their coordination was not good in the face of the surprise attack of the Roman kingdom.
Surprise also not only arrived there, 2 days after the work Magnolia attacked by Royal and Imperial troops. Surprisingly the attack did not use too many troops. Though the Majapahit and Clover royal troops are already on their way to help the Magnolia kingdom. The result was confirmed that the Magnolia kingdom could survive.
But more surprising is the attack of the alliance of two kingdoms attacking Majapahit. It seems like the attack on Magnolia was just bait.
Majapahit troops look very defeated. But there is a strange thing when you see from a distance the attack of the 2-nation alliance on Majapahit. It appears that the equipment that the alliance troops used was the equipment that the kingdom of Germa used when attacking my kingdom.
I immediately rushed with my troops to help the majapahit kingdom. I came very late due to the bad weather in the ocean. The alliance army had destroyed the fort and entered the Majapahit royal palace.
My troops divided two with the first goal of helping the Majapahit forces outside the palace led by Felix. Second, the army that leads into the palace that I lead.
When I arrived at a room, two people were standing with long swords like paladins and shoguns. There were bloodied bodies all around them. I headed towards the figure of the woman in front of the entrance who was still able to breathe out loud.
"Albert is away with our granddaughter" the woman said to me as she breathed her last.
"Come to Armstrong," I summoned my mythical monster with explosive rage.
I instantly cast a destruction spell towards the two people earlier. Then Armstrong lunged through the smoke created from my magic explosion. It appears that Armstrong was held captive by a mythical monster in the form of a beautiful woman carrying a spear commonly called lilith.
From the direction of the smoke was seen a shogun crashing towards me looking to slash at me but I used guardian stone protective magic that created golems. He was the Monarch seen when the mask on his face was blown away by the wind caused by the golem blow.
This is truly unfavorable I said in my heart while observing the situation. Suddenly an arrow came towards me from behind. I instantly used wind magic to speed up my movements for a few seconds. After I dodged there was no sign of the person attacking me from the direction the arrow appeared.
I'm sure the lilith's owner was Luca standing next to Lancelot's body, as if he was lifeless. I could see it when the smoke from my magic had disappeared.
"Groot come," said Monarch summoning his mythical monster while attacking me again with his skill.
The roots appear from the ground and look like they form a sizable body. That thing is trent.
Unbasically stale Monarch instantly used the main power of rune install. Groot and Monarch became one. The Monarch cast a thorn whip magic spell to bind me but to no avail. But again an arrow came from behind me and grazed my left leg.
"Damn," I said in pain.
"Hey Darwin don't hide away" I said with great emotion and guessed who the archer was.
Seen in the distance Luca and his mythical monster work together to attack Armstrong.
"Amstrong is going this way" I called Armstrong.
Armstrong approached me and we used the install. I changed and had 4 wings on my back. The scratches on the feet disappeared. My left hand held the magic book and my right hand held the sword that Armstrong used to use.
My magic book floated in front of me opening many pages. There are various spells visible in it.
"Sword of element," I shouted as I swung the sword in my right hand.
The swing of my sword slid and split into 5 pieces representing several elements. Elements of fire and wind towards the Monarch. Elements of light, lightning, and water lead to Luca.
"Out..."
The sound of an explosion rang out and the floor where Monarch and Luca were destroyed made the floor rubble fall down. My attacks succeeded in hitting them. Monarch was thrown into several walls of the palace. While Luca shifted a few meters along with his mythical monster.
Monarch was seen trying to stand up by propping up his sword. Luca is open and uses the install directly. His back is seen issuing black wings, right on his forehead also appears blue horn, and there is a tail that resembles the tip of a spear that is often used by the mythical monster lilith.
Luca directly charged towards me using the darkness magic of the ball of darknes which was very large in number. The black balls kept crashing towards me. I swiftly made a protector with the light magic of the wall of light. The white light seemed so thin it protected me from Luca's attack.
Suddenly from the left direction there was an arrow that shot a fast sting and from the right direction the slash skill Monarch had headed towards me. I won't be on time if I want to avoid or fend off. It appeared the person I didn't know deflected the arrow from the left. That person may be around 20 years old wearing a green shirt with the Majapahit royal emblem. Meanwhile on the right appeared Albert resisting the attack from the Monarch.
"Sorry to get you into this kind of trouble" Albert said after successfully fending off the Monarch's attack.
"Greetings to your highness Raizen," said the person on my left greeting.
"I'm sorry Albert I'm late" I said with tears in my eyes.
Then the three of us were silent for a moment. Without any cues we moved in three different directions.
"don't die Raizen, Shahir," Albert said, using the install.
It was seen albert was filled with white dragon scales on his hands and feet.After that on his back appeared dragon wings. The shahir on the left also installs. His eyes changed like snake eyes. On his shoulders appeared many small snakes facing forward.
The snake's eyes seemed to be able to see Darwin who had never appeared during the fight. Hot air can be caught by the eyes of the snake. Shahir attacked Darwin with a huge two-handed sword. Job Shahir is a Paladin. The fight on the left side did not last long. A single slash of Shahir had inflicted a fatal wound on Darwin. Maybe Darwin did not expect to be attacked by Shahir because he was very sure no one could track him.
The fight between Albert and Monarch looked quite fierce. But Monarch looks at the defeat against Albert. In terms of ability, I think Albert is the most powerful king in the last 20 years. Plus the Monarch's condition is unfavorable for having been injured while fighting with me.
Finally the long sword Monarch had thrown and stuck on the floor of the palace. Albert immediately used the instant kill assassin skill that made the entire Monarch's body torn apart and abundant with blood.
My magic I keep using to attack Luca. But no one has succeeded in it. So did the attack that Luca had on me. We were both breathing like we were out of breath. When he realized that Monarch and Darwin had lost he instantly opened a dark magic gate that could teleport someone randomly. He went straight into the black hole created from his magic while smiling at me.
When the black hole disappeared I immediately lay down and my body returned to normal. I saw the faces of the two men who had been with me defeating the enemy on my right and left.
The Majapahit kingdom was destroyed and Albert left his territory to me. Albert immediately tried to go with a little boy who was very funny but I managed to hold back.
"I'm going to find a place to live with this child" Albert said, holding his granddaughter.
"Just stay in my palace" I said, persuading Albert.
"I don't want to bother you anymore" said Albert.
"Who are you bothering to be stupid, we are already like you know!!!" I answered him with a little emotion.
After that we had a long argument. Our debate was stopped by the cries of Albert's grandson.
"It's because you're stupid, this kid is crying" Albert scolded me.
"Albert, I will give you a home and a job in one of the villages in the royal territory. It's not for you but for this kid," I persuaded Albert while stroking Albert's granddaughter's head.
Albert finally agreed to my offer. After that we walked towards a hill near the ruins of Majapahit kingdom. The little boy Albert carried had been sleeping since we walked up to this hill. We both saw the sun rising from the hill. I watched Albert who looked so sad that his tears could not stand him. This was the first time I saw her cry. I let it go without speaking as I continued to stare towards the rising sun.
