Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

The atmosphere of Ebonwick was really warm and sunny after Kai got rid of almost all the dark elemental essence inside the outer boundary of ancient Battlefield.

Due to being near the ancient battlefield, Ebonwick Fortress which generally is covered in gloomy clouds with little sunlight during day time is getting full blessings of the sun.

But on the ground soldiers were standing in silence as they prayed for the departed souls.

During the seven hours of struggle with the sea of Undead skeletons many of their close friends and companions have died, and many have been seriously injured during the clash with the undead.

As for the number of soldiers with minor injuries were numerous, all have some scar or bruises in their hands with dislocated joints.

But still they have a smile on their faces, as they have survived and can live some more days and look after their loved ones.

As for the family members of dead soldiers.

They will be compensated under the military laws.

Joseph and Louie also announced that they will talk to the Empress and Emperor respectively for an additional award and medal of honour for these brave soldiers who fought to the death in the process of defending the fortress.

Specifically with the presence of Froleytia and Duke Garwn, the soldiers of both empires felt more hopeful that their fellow mates' sacrifice will be remembered and honoured.

The cargo group arrived half an hour later than Joseph and Louie.

While hearing from the soldiers about the unbelievable deeds of Kai and Jai.

They have already been legendary god-like beings of awe in the eyes of soldiers.

Hearing how they created the tornado and earthquake just by themselves. The cargo group just found it unbelievable and heard from their superior that both Kai and Jai are powerful magic champion stage experts.

They quickly became figures of admiration in the eyes of the students of two empires.

While Kade can smile on seeing that Kai is fine. On the other hand, Lizel and other students from the academy complained.

They are from the same generation but the difference between Kai and them is equal to the difference between heaven and earth.

Kai who was standing beside Froleytia looked at the cold and devoid dead bodies of the soldier and sighed.

Last time he used the powerful spell to undo the dark curse spell of Undead Emperor Yakto, and attached the soul back with the body.

Still many of the bodies were damaged beyond recognition and cannot be resurrected as large numbers of funerals were taking place all over the kingdom.

Seeing the crying tearful faces of the old parents, wife, young father and mother, children.

Crying at the peak of their lungs made Kai depressed and helpless for the first time.

Making him questions, even after possessing such a large amount of magic power and strength stop this calamity from happening.

Why was he not more stronger and had power to recreate the body of the dead once.

He even wanted to use the power of a myriad world ring, but Kira stopped him by telling him that it would destroy the balance of the world.

As souls have already left for their journey of afterlife and are already halfway to the other shore of the red river of underworld.

Witnessing it again made him feel helpless and his desperate desire to become even stronger to protect his love once.

Froleytia also noticed Kai 's expression.

"Kai is this your first time, seeing someone die or the soldier dying during his duty"asked Froleytia with a gentle smile.

Kai shaked is head"I have seen many deaths before this event, but I just find it a little disturbing. Think about it what will you feel like when a loved ones you were just talking to yesterday and suddenly the next day you find out he is dead, leaving a void in the heart of your which can never be filled and will always hold a irreplaceable position in your heart"

Hearing that Froleytia nodded and said wisely"That's why every life is precious and irreplaceable. My father always says that to become a true Emperor one must first understand that he is responsible for the well being of every life living within its territory and it's his responsibility to make sure everyone lives well. At the same time even if someone die because of his command it's Emperor responsible to make sure that the person who sacrifice his life for him, he take care of his loved one after him like his own family and always answerable to his citizens"

"In my own opinion, life and death are natural phenomena and everyone is destined to die someday. So we must make sure to value the time we have and talk more, spend more time with our loved ones until they are here and after they die fill that void with all the memories and keep them alive in our hearts and never forget them"

Hearing that Kai nodded"Thank you Froleytia for your advice as well as the words of the emperor. Your father must be a realised emperor"

"Yes, he is a great emperor, he may not be the ideal emperor but he works harder than anybody else in the empire and always thinking about the wellbeing of his people and sometimes even tends to over work because of which he frequently because sick and have dark circles under his eyes due to over work.

My mother always scold him but he never listen"said Froleytia as a thin smile appear on her face and looked at Kai

"But did you really destroy all the undead skeleton before the arrival of Joseph and Louie? Also what is that black tower about?"asked Froleytia with doubt graze

Hearing that Kai smiled"I will give answer to all your questions in the meeting, we are going to hold after thirty minutes. As it's too troublesome to speak about the same topic again and again"

Froleytia nodded and left to take care of her duty.

While Kai looked at the dead body within the coffins with a glass cover for the last time and turned around to meet Kade and others.

[Outside The Front Gates of Ebonwick Fortress]

Mefisto, Louie, Joseph, Duke Esabella, Duke Grawn were standing and looked at the vast abandoned land.

"Truly I never thought that I would see the sun on top of my head shining so brightly in this abandoned land,"said Professor Mefisto with a cheerful expression as he remembered his past experience in this land.

"It's seems professor has came to this place on other occasions also"said Louie

Mefisto nodded"It was too long ago, about the time when I was just 50years old with cultivation of middle stage third rank fighters.

I fought and defended these lands for a period of twenty five years and later after I broke through to the magic warrior stage, awakening as a magic user instead of a battle mage. I was so disappointed that time but with time I adapted and accepted reality"said Mefisto with a thin gentle smile with clear shining eyes as he looked at the vast land before him.

While others looked at him with astonishment.

They never have thought that the wise and calm old man standing before them was once a fighter and soldiers walking these lands with his sword while wearing a armour.

It was too unbelievable for them.

"Hahahahaha, is it really so hard to believe"

asked Mefisto with a cheerful smile as he looked at him.

Everyone nodded.

"I can understand your feelings. If the past me saw the current me. He will also find it shocking, but things just change with time.

Not just me but the entire world is changing every day little by little"said Mefisto wisely and looked at the tall black tower which is standing fifteen kilometres away from them.

Others also looked at the black tower.

"I was really astonished to find out. It was Kai who created that"said Louie

He had already heard from Darwin mouth, how he saw the creation of the black tower and the tornado and earthquake.

A tornado which created a black tower and an earthquake which flattened the land into the same height without any variation.

They just don't look like things done by a human being and even magic champion stage expert are not able to do it.

Just when he heard Mefisto speak out with a trembling voice and looked at the tower again and again with deep thought. On looking more carefully, he saw a violet colour glow around the black tower

"That.. tower.. it's.. it's.. made..up..of..pure dark elemental essence. Unbelievable this is the first time I have seen such pure form of elemental essence"and remembered that they have meetings after sometime.

As he turned around to enter the fortress gate with a wide excited smile on his face.

Others also followed him after seeing the unusual behaviour of Mefisto.

Making them wonder what they think can make him so excited to lose control over his emotions.

"Professor Mefisto what happened why are you so excited"shouted Joseph

Hearing that Mefisto only smiled, he walked towards the meeting room and wanted to meet Kai as soon as possible to ask him. How did he purity the elements essence into such a pure state?

"If I found out, how did Kai purify the elemental essence to such a pure state? We can create better and more stable magic power sources and create better magic devices"thought Mefisto

After his retirement from the military, Mefisto started teaching in Imperial College and side by side became part of a research project to find ways to purify elemental essence. To create better and more efficient magic devices and now he has gotten a clue and hopefully Kai can help him.

Thinking about it, Mefisto steps grow faster and faster as he walks towards the meeting room.
