The Strongest Knight's

Ch. 6 - Empire

*Advanced flashback

Based on the results of the round table conference where one of the agreements was the training for the holy knights would take place in Inggram kingdom, west of the current Celestial kingdom. 3 Days after they were summoned to this world, they headed straight to the kingdom using a horse carriage that had been prepared.

To get there it takes 6 days to travel by horse carriage, it just arrived at the border. To get to the palace must return to take 3 days trip. The distance between the Celestial Kingdom and Inggram kingdom was not far because basically the two kingdoms were neighbors.

The journey escorted by several knights from the Celestial kingdom made the journey even more comfortable. Despite meeting some robbers and monsters but the strength of the Celestial kingdom's knights was enough to overcome the problem, what was leading their way was the great knight of the Celestial kingdom named Redhawk Wings.

Exactly a month after their arrival in the kingdom of Inggram. The saint knights had slowly begun to get used to their new life even though it was still hard to accept reality. Their fighting abilities had already increased along with the training they were undergoing.

Early in their arrival to this world, their combat weapons were already in their grasp. Other than weapons they were all endowed with magic energy called imperium. In addition, they were also granted the title by Goddess Marlin based on their strength. This is what distinguishes them from the ten knights who have been on this land before.

Similar to their weapons, the empires within them were also different from each other. What determines the difference is the heart and spirit that is in each of them. You could say that imperium is a form of themselves.

It is currently in a training-rival building, where knights sharpen themselves. The ten holy knights were training together with the royal knights led by the great knight Eros Lopnika.

The most serious of these exercises was Arthur the holy knight who earned the title of 'Lux' with a sword weapon and a large shield. His empire was light-type so he was predicted as the leader of the holy knights.

"All of you are familiar with your weapons, that's good."

Some of them seemed excited to hear the praise of the great knight Eros.

"Huh, we better get the demons out and get back to the original world."

"Don't be too arrogant young man, we still haven't mastered magic."

"Yes that's right. What Gildarts said was true. Other than practicing using weapons, your inner empire has not yet risen. You must practice magic in order to master it." continued Eros Lopnika.

One of those who have not been able to accept the situation is Rinto Bimonger who is currently 24 years old, he on every occasion always complains and wants to go home soon. Rinto Bimonger is a holy knight with the title 'Terram' with a weapon that is Palu or Hammer that is about the size of an adult's foot. He is a warrior of the Earth/Land empire.

"So when can we learn magic?" ask one of them.

"That's why we're gathered today. I'll introduce you all."

The great knight Eros then directed his hand to the side of the field of battle which was in the south direction.

"His name is Mrs Terra Cronicls."

A woman suddenly approached from the south, in the direction of Eros' hand. The woman was holding a white crystal ball in black clothes that accentuated part of her body shape.

Eros continued, "Mistress Terra is one of the members of the magic consulate of the Lockdown region, where great witches were born from that region."

"Wow great" said one of the holy knights.

"Thank you young girl. Looks like you're the youngest of them."

"Well, why do you know?"

"Maybe because my intuition is always right."

The knight was excited and praised the magic ability of Terra, what else he was currently hovering before them using levitation magic. That made Rebecca Mustang one of the holy knights amazed.

Rebecca Mustang is the youngest sacred knight among others, she is 17 years old and her character and character are still like children. In the previous world he was the son of one of the richest people and as long as he lived, he was raised by being spoiled by his parents. Rebecca Mustang is honored with the title "Flos" and her holy weapon is a bow. Although made of wood but the weapon is still one of the powerful weapons. The type of empire is Nature/Plants.

"As Mr. Eros said, all of you will practice magic today. I will take that noble task to teach you the basics.

"It seems fun." said Ivy began to enthusiastically.

"Preparate yourself better. Learning magic is not as easy as it seems." Terra told the holy knights.

Terra then went on to explain to the holy knights what they should know before learning magic.

"First, maybe you already know about the empire. Imperium is the magic energy that exists within every being, especially us humans. There are many types of empires. Does anyone know?"

"Maybe 5." replied one of the holy knights.

"Wrong.. Is there anything else? Come on, guess how many?"

"Looks like 10."

"Gee.. Impressive, your answer is really handsome."

It seemed like Terra was slightly teasing Smits, one of the handsome holy knights and his intelligence was above average.

"So how do you know that Mr ...."

"Patty.. My name is Iuroi Smits."

"Mr Smits? Can you tell us how you know about the number of empires."

"That's easy.. I just look at our numbers and it looks like we represent every empire in the world. What else are our weapons different." Clear Smits.

"Gee.. Cool." Rebecca said with an exaggerated look of admiration.

The other knights began to understand a little except Richard who was still difficult to digest.

"E.. Sorry but that doesn't explain anything. I don't understand at all."

"Oi.. The oi.. You better shut up, you spoiled kid."

Rinto was always annoyed with Richard who he thought was stupid and weak. What else the person who cried out in fear when they were first in this world was Richard, it made a bad impression on their meeting.

It had been over a month since then and the saint knights had already experienced an improvement in terms of their mentality, strength, fighting style and also skill points. Among them, Richard was the weakest because during this month he had not undergone any significant changes. That's what makes Rinto always underestimate Richard in every circumstance.

"alright.. Don't blame each other. I'll explain it further. As Mr. Smits said, that the empire numbered 10, every human being on this land at least has an imperial essence of at least 3 types of 10 types that exist. Only a few people master 10 types at once. "

"Interesting.." Arthur muttered that looked seriously listening.

"The strength or weakness of the empire in humans depends on each self but can be improved by practicing endurance and practicing magic. Generally the empire is only ruled by witches but since ancient times, one of the strongest knights began to use the empire in fighting and it goes on to this day. "

"Wait a minute, that means.. The empire was originally only usable by witches. Then why can knights who are not magicians use imperium?"

"Oi... You just interrupt." An irritated Rinto encourages Richard to have cut Terra's explanation.

"That's it.. Don't fight." Arthur defends Richard and helps him rise from the ground.

"A good question. Using the Empire is not easy and not all knights can use that power. While witches from birth can already use the empire due to hereditary blood factors. But every time we want to use the empire, we have to recite a spell so that the empire within us can be transformed into magic. Like what I did to you now. " It was clear that Terra was still hovering without touching the ground using levitation magic.

"Great.. I want to be like that too." Ivy muttered one of the holy knights.

"Worthy if that was the case, how would the knights use the empire they had in their bodies?"

"Oi.. You just disturbed me."

Rinto re-ignites his emotions as Richard continues to cut through Terra's explanation. Out of emotion, Rinto lashed a hard blow at Richard's face.

Punchhh..

"Don't fight the young man, he's just asking."

Gildarts fended off Rinto's punch that almost hit his face.

"Oi.. Uncle.. You're in my way."

"Rinto.. Never mind. Look, you're scaring Richard." Said Arthur.

"Sad.."

"It seems Mr. Richard likes to ask well.. That doesn't matter. I'll continue." Terra.

While Richard was frightened, he was a bit away from Rinto.

"Knight awakens their empire by means of physical exercise until that power rises itself up. That was why only strong knights could use the empire. The knights used the empire in a different way to the magicians. The empire that exists in knights will blend with their bodies and weapons so that the resulting attack will be stronger than ordinary attacks." Obviously Terra.

"I understand now." Arthur grumbled holding his chin.

"Eh.. Sorry Me.." Richard had not finished speaking, as Rinto immediately looked towards him with an angry look. Richard then lowered his head and paused his intention to ask.

"Now all of you.. Unlike the magicians and knights in this world who have at least 3 types of 10 types of imperial power in them. You knights only have 1 empire that is the embodiment of your respective strengths. "

"hm.. Fascinating." Once again Arthur held his chin while thinking.

"But even though each of you has only 1 empire. The amount and power you have within you is enormous." Terra once again.

"I understand now, though, although only 1 but the quality of the empire that exists within us is centralized so that it is greater than those who have more than one type of empire but that power is divided into other empires." Smits.

"Yes.. Exactly it. That's what makes you different from other knights. You can manipulate the empire that is within you at will even you can destroy a land."

"Bahh.. Cool." Rebecca.

"But.. To be able to master it you must increase your strength and train your skills." Connect Terra explains the workings of the empire.

"My heart is beating fast, I.. I can't wait to practice."

Arthur and Rebecca looked enthusiastic after hearing Terra's explanation.

"Are you ready for practice today?"

With Arthur and Rebecca answering. "Ready.. Please help Mrs Terra."

"alright.. I'll show you how powerful the empire is." The Terra Cronicls.
