Will Of Chaos

I walked with Klaus into the mansion and we went into what would have been a ballroom if this was a normal mansion, but this was clearly a bar with liquor cabinets everywhere along with paintings of various detainees from different battles.

I sit down on a sofa and Hinata pulls out some bottles for the two of us to drink from my sister's stash.

One thing I'm learning is that the stronger you get, the harder it is to find a drink whose alcohol content still works.

"Are you sure you don't want to call Kira?" (I)

"Better not, at least while we're talking, what I'm going to tell you is a secret that few on the continent know, if you want to tell everyone later it's your decision, but my duty is to tell only you." (Klaus)

"You know I'm not going to get involved in this war, right?" (I)

"You are already involved, one of the many battlegrounds is in the desert, and the Dark Elves are already preparing for what will be a fierce battle." (Klaus)

"The Ancient Elves..." (I)

"Yes, the Ancient Elves of that village are their main force in this war, they are individuals that the Church of Light does not yet know about." (Klaus)

"That's exactly what I came to talk to you about under the orders of Gray Elf King Uryma." (Klaus)

"I think I can imagine where this conversation is going." (I)

"They want me to visit the other two villages." (I)

"They want to create more Old Elves." (I)

"Yes, it would be better if it were as soon as possible." (Klaus)

I have no reason to refuse, it doesn't look like I'll need to fight directly, but this is still a way to make a big difference in the war.

"Before accepting any requests, you said something about telling the details of the war." (I)

"Yes, how was I going to say..." (Klaus)

--------------

For the next 3 hours, I learned a lot of things at once.

Klaus told me several things about the Church of Light forces and their allies, he also told me about the Black Empire that took the first step forward to lead this war.

He told me about the mysteries of the Hero of Light's death and his emergence, he told me about the Aerial Dungeons that attacked several cities that are now bases of the Church of Light in strategic points, not everywhere, but they are in more than half of these strategic points.

Klaus also told me about his investigation, told me about the weapons and items that were made using Coral Flow to cause disharmony in nature's energy.

But the thing that caught my attention the most was when he spoke of a group behind all these things, it seems that this group was the one that manufactured and sold these prohibited items in various places across the continent, they are also the main suspects in the death of the Hero of Light from Klaus' point of view.

It seems that the leader of the group has powers associated with shadows and curses, Klaus describes his appearance to me, a shadow creature very similar to the one I saw in the city being attacked in the past, so I was interested in this part of the story.

Klaus tells me about a seal in a forgotten forest that is close to being broken, and told me the location and what traces of this Shadow creature were found there.

It looks like something has been sealed there in a separate space never to come out, this Shadow creature seems to be trying to break that seal.

When I asked him about attacking the place of the seal to stop them, Klaus says that it is already too late, the breaking of the seal is a matter of time and without knowing the extent of the forces of this organization it would not be safe to attack.

It looks like the Elves are going to hide their strength while no one knows about it in preparation for facing this shadow.

They want me and Freya to go through the villages as soon as possible so they have time to prepare.

What worries me is knowing that the places near the Elves' villages are points where battles against the Church of Light are taking place.

Sigh

"I'll talk to the others, depending on what you decide, we can leave tomorrow." (I)

"Exactly what I wanted to hear, I appreciate your help." (Klaus)

After listening to him I was thinking that there are many things going on and these are just the ones I know so far, my biggest fear is taking a stray bullet, and being hit without knowing where the shot came from.

"Klaus, what are the wars like?" (I)

"Like this?" (Klaus)

"I know that the Church of Light has armies of Templars, but they also have True Dragons of Light on their side, if such a Dragon fights someone of equal strength alongside the Demons just the shock waves of battle would decimate the armies for close, so wouldn't it be easier to send only the strongest into a fight to decide the winner?" (I)

"Don't be naive, those who are strong also get tired, in addition, everyone has weaknesses, there are weapons called dragon slayers for example, hundreds of mages can perform a magical ritual to defeat an enemy hundreds of times stronger." (Klaus)

"The stronger someone becomes, the more strategic their participation during a war, they must be ready to intercept enemies of equal strength or conquer strategic points." (Klaus)

"As you said before, there are those who if they fight in the war can kill everyone with just their shock waves during their battle, but it brings up the problem that their power is destroying the surroundings." (Klaus)

"It would be a disaster if a Titan of Nature appeared in the middle of the War." (I)

"Yes, but not only that, when more powerful someone becomes, but their power threatens the world itself, there are those who can affect the world in proportions you can't imagine." (Klaus)

"Therefore, the stronger one becomes, the more the world restricts his power." (Klaus)

"Does the world make the strongest weak?" (I)

"No, to be more precise the world itself has an Aura, this Aura is all around us now, people like the Dragon Emperor from earlier are constantly suffering pressure from this Aura, it doesn't weaken him, but this pressure increases as if rejecting If he causes a lot of destruction in the world, this meal is temporary but can give enemies an advantage during a battle." (Klaus)

"I've never felt anything like this." (I)

"And you won't even feel it, you are in harmony with nature." (Klaus)

"What I'm saying is that there are beings so strong that their powers can destroy the very space around us, so the laws of the world weigh more heavily on them." (Klaus)

"Are there ways around this limitation?" (I)

"Fight in separate spaces, fight within a Territory owned by someone with Authority, or form an Aura Field." (Klaus)

"Do you know what I'm talking about?" (Klaus)

"I understand about the first two, but what is an Aura Field?" (I)

"You know about Authority? Well, that makes it easy to explain." (Klaus)

"An Aura Field is when someone with those limitations I talked about spreads their Aura in an area while trying to balance with the Nature Aura by pushing without rejection, this creates a bubble that prevents damage from expanding." (Klaus)
