The Strongest Knight's

Ch. 4 - Portals

*Advanced flashback

Located in one of the tall buildings in the middle of New York City. A man was seen on the roof of the building looking down. He looked frustrated with his life, his eyes blank and his facial expression flat. Though he was right on the edge of the building with a height of 1,428 feet which there are 82 floors.

"There's no point in me living."

The 23-year-old man muttered to himself. It seems life was so hard for him that he decided to commit suicide and jump from the building.

A full suit of suits became his current outfit. Having previously conducted job interviews at companies with offices in the building. Unfortunately for him because his job application was rejected, this has become his 20th job interview and he still has not got a job despite the urgent need at this time.

Even he had been unemployed for a year and worked as a day laborer to get on with his life. A year without a decent job frustrates him with the circumstances, plus the demands of life that weigh heavily on him from the family further make him slump.

After once again he did not get good results in this job interview, he felt empty and suddenly thought of ending his life. A weak mental state becomes the main trigger for the actions he will take at this time. Maybe because since childhood he has been a victim of bullying until he grew up and then affected his mental condition and his fearful personality.

His current mind only wanted to end the agonizing pain he was feeling. The negative energy in her further drove her to think that suicide was the right answer to the problem she was facing right now.

Still blankly staring down, how many people passed by. Looks like an ant he thought. He spread out his hands, enjoyed the wind and prepared to jump. But things changed instantly, the clear sky turned dark, the clouds gathered creating a storm above the building along with the occasional thunderbolt.

"What's this?"

The man was confused by the very sudden change in the weather. He panicked as the rain started pouring down directly on his suit. Because of the rush of rain, his view is unclear because it is blocked by rain.

The wind also gave him fear when the vortex was created from a combination of wind and clouds. The vortex was clearly visible in his eyes, it made him panic.

"What's really going on?"

The man then undoes his suicide and runs towards the entrance on the top floor of the building. But it felt heavy, he was still trying while holding onto anything that could be held back then. The tightness of the wind made him lift up, he panicked and strengthened the grip on the iron pipe that could currently be used as a handle.

The vortex created by the wind was getting bigger and now the vortex was flying itself towards the center of the vortex right above the building, the handle was released and he was sucked in by the vortex.

"Ohhh..!!"

Amidst the whirlwind, there was a white light that shone dazzlingly into his eyes. He was sucked into the light and disappeared. Along with the entry of the man into the light, then vanished also the storm and rain that hit the city of New York suddenly.

The universe is different, in a kingdom called the Celestials. Seen King William and some of the Kings who have not returned to their chores witnessed the holy witch Barthe perform the ceremony of summoning holy heroes.

Barthe held a stick with both hands. Previously he had drawn a magic circle with his own blood, a circle inscribed with a summoning spell given by Goddess Marlin.

Barthe's mouth continued to chant, the longer above the magic circle was suddenly seen a circle of light. The atmosphere that had been calm had turned rowdy due to the sound of wind and earthquakes that occurred. Some floors and walls cracked, while statues fell.

Holy witch Barthe remained solemnly performing the summoning ritual despite the state of chaos. Even his nose was bleeding due to the large amount of magic energy he had expended to perform this summoning ceremony.

"Mrs Barthe."

"Your Majesty, please don't come any closer. You'll be hurt if you interrupt this summoning ceremony."

King William seems to be worried about the condition of the holy witch Barthe and wants to get close to helping her but the talented young witch Oana who is a direct disciple of Barthe is holding King William to intrude.

"Will Madam Barthe be okay?"

"That King Reynhard began, Mrs Barthe's current condition is excellent. Otherwise, he wouldn't be performing this summoning ceremony right now." Oana insisted.

Everyone who was in the hall could only see and could not interfere because only a holy magician could complete stage after stage of summoning spells.

"Mrs Barthe." Shouted King William once more.

"Don't come any closer, soon the ceremony will be over."

Barthe mustered all of his magic energy to complete his task as a holy magician. Until the white luminous portal opened perfectly, it immediately made everyone in the room amazed and could only gap without saying anything.

Shortly from inside the portal, one by one the humans came out and fell on the floor of the room. Keep going until the last person who is the man who wants to end his life comes out of the portal.

When the 10 humans had exited the portal, the light of the portal quickly disappeared. The earthquake and the rumble of the wind also stopped which was also marked by the fall of the holy witch Barthe because of the magic energy drained out.

"Mrs Barthe."

King William sprinted at Barthe who had fainted unconscious, Oana also approached and currently placed Barthe's head in his lap.

Meanwhile, all the people in the room rejoiced until someone cried to see the holy knight in front of them at this time. On the other hand, the ten people who came from other worlds were still confused by what had actually happened. They looked alert and watched the room.

Their faces were still confused and still digesting what was really happening. They were all tense because they were suddenly in a foreign room and different from the place where they were a minute ago.

Amidst their confusion, one of the ten men who wanted to kill themselves suddenly shouted hysterically. The scream was enough to make the people around him look at him.

"ii.. This where?" said it.

They all ask themselves the same thing. It was seen that one of them also let out tears in fear of the weapons held by the few Knights who stood around them.

Meanwhile, Barthe's condition is very severe marked by changing physical condition that initially looks like a young woman, now her physique becomes an old woman according to her age of 80 years.

"Snijders.. Quickly lift Lady Berthe into her room."

A knight approached along with another knight carrying the unconscious Barthe.

"Oana, go. accompany Mistress Barthe and stay by her side until she's awake."

"Pertain the noble one."

Oana left the hall to carry out the orders of King William.

"Who are you?" ask one of the ten holy knights.

"Relax, holy knights, we will not hurt you."

King Reynhard returns to the role and tries to talk to ten people who are currently confused, frightened and full of question marks about where they are at the moment.

"What do you mean call us holy knights?"

King William approached them all. "Calm down, we won't hurt you. King Reynhard, let me explain to all of them."

10 Men who will fulfill their destiny to become holy knights, their journey begins from now on.
