Rebirth: Over the Horizon

Carolson walked steadily forward. After he retrieved "that" object in the storage room, he was going to pray to Nova to send his blessings upon them for their upcoming battle.

But when he reached the small room…

"Who the hell are you?"

'It's a mess'

The whole room was a mess various artefacts old descriptions and markings were scattered around the ground and a girl was rummaging through the final drawer of the room.

"Ah~ Finally found it."

She the figure ignoring his question he became enraged and shouted.

"Nova knights!"

He was the knight commander and naturally one was above him in this place who were wielding sword or spear.

So, most of the knights came rushing the instant they heard their commander shouting.

Amelia spoke first. "Whoa! Someone came faster than I expected. Weren't you and the other should be on the battlefield?"

"Who are you? Are you Alfuria's dog?"

Trislowa asked in a voice filled with rage. His gaze went back and forth between Amelia and the item she was holding.

"I'm someone who was sent by an old granny who has a personal grudge against you."

"That means you are a foolish person who doesn't understand and follow Nova God."

"We have a slight difference of opinions. I think you guys are the ones similar to pests who crawl on the dirty ground."

"Unable to reason and worship a starfish-like Nova as a god."

True to that, when Amelia saw the statue of Nova the first thought that occurred in her mind was 'starfish'

Now, if we think about it, it also seems logical to call the Nova a starfish.

No matter, how many times you destroy the limbs of a starfish, it grows again and again.

It's the same for Nova followers, no matter how many followers you kill as long as one remains.

He will develop a big cult and cause a big ruckus out of it, hearing her words Carolson couldn't control his anger any longer.

He unsheathed the sword from his waist and began to rush towards Amelia.

But, just after only one step, he halted and his body froze like a statue.

"Come forward~ If you moved even a step this book will be gone for good."

Seeing the sight before him, Carolson soul has almost left his body.

Amelia was holding a dragger so close towards some black book and threatening him to not move.

"Haha~ this is fun, you are so funny."

Hearing her laughter, Carlson couldn't help wanting to kill her more than ever.

"I will make sure to give you cruel death if you didn't hand over the book now."

Carolson said as he stood after sheathing his sword.

"And what will do after I hand over the book?"

"You will get a quick death."

"Ha..."

A ridiculed sigh slipped out of Amelia's mouth and she said playfully, "Why don't we have a bit of fun...before I die."

As she said, more than a dozen knights squeezed inside the small room.

Boooom!

They heard an explosive sound from far away, and the impact of the collision shook the building slightly.

It was clear that the battle between the

Alfurias and the Novas had begun.

Carolson knew that he couldn't waste any more time. He tried to attack Amelia and take the item she was holding, but she opened his mouth again.

"By the way, you asked me if I was Alfuria's dog. You must think they ordered me to infiltrate this place for some reason."

"Isn't it obvious? And you lied to me saying you came finding me against a personal grudge?"

"Dieee..."

Suddenly a huge water wave formed in his hand and took the form of a snake and rushed towards Amelia.

But, the snake also stopped a step before it reached Amelia.

"Hey, don't be so agitated. What are you gonna do if something bad happens to this?"

Amelia said as she playfully shook the book in her hand and played with it. The followers of Nova running towards her halted.

Even Carolson, who was fiercely attacking a moment ago, stunned still.

"I guess getting attacked by the Alfurias was scary. So much so that you would just leave this important thing unattended."

The Nova knight made a groan. He wasn't scared of the Karuwimans, but it was true that he had left the book unattended.

Even though the object had to be left in the storeroom for later use, he didn't even expect in his dreams that Alfurias would come knocking on his doors.

"Should I just go out here, you have become so bored now almost like a powerful villain."

"Hah! Do you talk about escaping in this situation? Well, I guess it really fits you. A stupid choice fitting for a rat."

"Nova knights don't fear now, I have casted a powerful magic to protect our book, kill this rat and pay respects to the Nova god."

Carolson raised another water pillar, and the other followers of Nova also changed to an attack formation.

"Hmmm. I'm definitely at a disadvantage with this formation."

"Did you just realize that! But it's too late. I'll give you the most brutal death in the world!"

Crash!

Amelia evaded another water snake.

"It's foolish for me to insist on a head-to-head battle even though there's a clear difference in strength between us. I should really escape?"

"Don't make me laugh! As I said earlier, How are you going to escape from here!"

Nova's knights and high priests were surrounding her, but most of all, a Nova commander of level 90 himself was blocking the wat.

The only entrance was an exit that was not far away from Amelia; in this situation, it seemed as if her escape was impossible. But it only seemed like it.

"Where would I be running to?"

As she said, Amelia suddenly pushed the brick beside her with her elbow.

It easily slid into and a large hole appeared there, it was big enough to sild on a person at a time.

"!!!"

Carlson, as well as all the followers of Nova, widened their eyes as if they were going to pop out of their eye sockets.

"T-th-that..!" He was unable to finish his sentence and stuttered.

Carolson had no idea that there was something like that in a prayer room.

"Your reactions are strange? Did you perhaps forget about this secret entrance?"

"H-how did you know—!"

"Ah, that's not something for you to know." Amelia smiled brightly and then waved his hand at the followers of Nova.

"Then, see you next time funny guy."

As she said Amelia tossed the book in the air, "W-what?"

Seeing the black book flipping in the air, carolson become happy but a second after it started to burn and only ashes were allowed to land on the ground.

Not the ugly black book.

"Capture herrrrrrr!"

The fury in Carlson's voice completely shook the whole prayer room.
