Bloody War

Arthur Axton looked down at the carnage around his kingdom which he swore to protect the day he became the Royal Sorcerer. But that was 50 years ago. What could a washed up old man do against an army of seasoned soldiers and conquerors? He picked one of the many enchanted scrolls in the room and spread it on the floor and sat in a Lotus Buddha position. He heard a bang from below but continued his work as he began chanting. " Acre utis uri. Andate, Andate, Andate. Palatus meru adod. Mecrig tufa sikori. " Another bang, this time at the door next to him. Without even moving, the table in front of him moved to the door, further blocking the door. " Mistori dufant wulit quatis. Vandi mosi grosi. Kenu Tawi Lapo fain gatus. " A crack was heard as the door couldn't keep taking the pain. " Karimo karima karimu. Adonte actonid." The door finally gave way, revealing a muscly man with a huge scar across his face who had A rank armor all around that covered every part of his body.

" Arthur Axton, the great S rank magician. A mage who has learnt not one, not two, but three magical abilities. Lightning S rank, Telekinesis A rank, and last but not least, Light magic S rank. It would be a waste to just let you go. You were a great asset to this kingdom, but come with me, and you can be even greater by my side. " The man who seemed to be the leader said. " Prince Edward, don't do this. " Arthur pleaded. " Do not associate me with that measly title of Prince. I am now Emperor Edward Devon the first of the Great Perusian Empire. " Edward shouted and grabbed the old man's hood and pushed his head to the floor. " Join me or die. " Edward stated but contrary to his thoughts, Arthur continued to chant.

" Ariva, arica turum. " Arthur's body began to break into small gold particles which created a bright flash of light that engulf them all. When they could see again, Arthur was gone. " Damn it. The old bastard probably used a spell he couldn't handle and killed himself. It looks like mana overload. But it could be a trick. Send a few guards around to search." Edward ordered.

Far away from where any guard would ever reach, out of the reaches of the universe, in an endless white space, there was a mystic gold throne. On that throne was a great figure that would completely tower over skyscrapers. A female figure in white drapes. A faceless figure. On her drapes were engraving runes and magical symbols. She was the goddess of magic. Her eyes which showed an eternity of wisdom shone with wonder.

" Someone used the forbidden spell, and a human at that. Let's see what he wants. " She waved her hands and a mystic blue soul appeared. " Where am I ?" The soul shouted as he looked around but before he could complete a turn, he felt the great power before him and unwillingly knelt. " What strength is this?" He shouted. " Silence Arthur, why have you beckoned me?" The goddess commanded him to speak which he willingly did. " Oh great goddess of mana and magic, lend me your power, for I am weak to protect my kingdom from a tyrant who has grown too powerful to stop. He is Prince Edward of the Rutan kingdom who led a coup and ended our great land. He has gone past an S rank. Please, I am afraid he might destroy the land. " Arthur pleaded.

"Yes, Edward. That ignorant idiot. Although I do not approve of you practicing this forbidden spell, Edward has reached Demigod level and I think if time is on his side and he keeps absorbing mana, he could potentially be above me. I will send you to destroy him,but beware you will be reborn. In a new body. With that. Let the process begin."
