BXBX NOVEL Chapter 121 - Alvarez Empire
-x-X-x-
A space fissure appeared above the capital of the Alvarez Empire Vistarion, Lionel came out with a heavy expression from the fissure, his expression was heavy as he felt angered and a little frustrated by Arya and Ayniat.
Below he could see a sumptuous form of soaring palaces, the imperial capital was really well designed and looked like a fortress the size of a city, looked very ancient and every corner of the city contained signs of glorious history.
Lionel really loved this city, maybe after he took it to himself he would turn it into a sky island and make it an extra home for him and his women.
Since he came with the intention of causing troubles, he didn't bother to hide himself as soon as he entered the domain of the Life Detection Magical Formation, he had already been discovered by the other side.
Lionel looked at the spherical formation enveloping the entire city that was pulsing with a warning after he pierced it from the inside, the formation was inconspicuous before it was penetrated by the invaders that can fly, but the moment it was pierced it became visible to the naked eye . .
In fact, Zeref originally set it up to protect against dragons like Acnologia. This was a defense formation and detection at the same time, but since Lionel had already hacked it, he kept the detection function only, so even then, if Lionel didn't want to, it wouldn't have worked at all.
The formation looked like a condensing group of black runes in the shape of small snakes, Lionel felt the dense laws of darkness inside that contained a different kind of energy that he did not currently have.
(Hmm, it looks like this mana is really rich even its potential is better than the profound energy itself, but it is tiny compared to the primordial energy, maybe after I get it I will combine it with my primordial energy)
Lionel noticed that the density of mana in this world does not allow humans here to obtain a divine body, except for some lucky ones, this means that the strongest in this world can hardly be considered as divine origin, although mana is better than profound energy , profound energy is more practical It has better chances, but not all humans have deep veins to cultivate, unfortunately.
***
In a spacious room full of organized magical equipment and members of the empire.
The vast room looked like the room of one of the security departments of the empire, the sirens were ringing non-stop, the staff was constantly moving here and there, this was the capital's internal security department working under the chief commander, the leader of the Spriggan 12, Auguste. August had already been informed of an intruder above the capital at the moment the magic formation sensed this abnormality.
"Hmm, can you tell the shape and size of the invader, is it a human or a dragon?"
The man who spoke was an old man who seemed abnormally strong, that person was the chief commander, Auguste, as he was sitting on the captain's seat, in fact even he found that it was not worth checking out the anomaly himself since he didn' t feel any tyrannical magic power from the invader. He thought he was just a bug looking for trouble, so he didn't bother using teleportation to see what was going on live... If he did, he would have already died. He's really lucky that he didn't.
"We got the projection picture for the invader person, sir, he is a human who can fly."
The security department officer came with a crystal in his hand that displayed a projection of Lionel over it as he looked toward the capital from above like a god.
The moment Auguste saw Lionel's form, he felt a chill that made his back cold as if he was looking at a demon god rather than a handsome human.
He didn't know why until he felt it, but his sharpened instincts for hundreds of years were currently warning him to run away and not meet this person face to face, or else he would surely die.
Suddenly the figure in the projection looked at him and smiled as if he was already seeing it through the projection, the moment Lionel smiled the crystal in the officer's hands broke into pieces and this made both the officer and Auguste fall to their butts with pure terror covering their expressions.
(What the hell happened?!)
This was the only thought on both of their minds at this moment.
Without any further thought, Auguste took out a high-level summon scroll that could be used in case of an extreme emergency which means a direct threat to the existence of the Empire, the function of this scroll is actually very simple because it contains the dense Laws of Space inside which can force the summoning of all Spriggan 12 members and their squads to return to the imperial capital if they were outside and to alert them if they were inside.
Such a scroll that was forged with countless resources was only owned by two people in the entire empire, the emperor and only the commander in chief.
The moment he took out the golden scroll he instantly tore it apart, his instincts were warning him to run away because even this scroll couldn't help him, but how could the commander in chief escape? No, how could a son escape and leave his father and his empire in such great danger? Even if he sacrificed his life, he would protect everything that belonged to his emperor's father.
The moment Auguste tore the scroll, a dark figure opened his eyes as he looked toward the security department before looking up at the sky as if his sight was piercing the palace walls like nothing. He could see Auguste's terrified face after tearing up the scroll, but as soon as his sight fell on the smiley figure in the sky, he felt as if his body was sinking into a cold swamp, for the first time he felt afraid of the thing he had always dreamed of it… He was afraid of death!
Is Zeref Dragneel, the Black Wizard, the Immortal King feeling the fear of death?! How is this even possible!
After activating his black arts, his iris turned dark red, and thanks to that he out from the terrifying aura of the other party albeit with great difficulty, he now knew why Auguste was terrified, how could such an existence exist in this world, an existence stronger than him!
How is this possible?!
A feeling of excitement lost thousands of years ago began to return to Zeref, yes he felt the excitement that he would soon regret.
