Chapter 111: A Warning
It was interesting to explain everything that happened to the others since it really was a lot. Fighting someone from the tower again, stopping a potential war, and even training with Alarion.
Ghost and Lilly also talked about how they got closer with Aria. Explaining about how ghost discovered her awakening during her time there as well.
"So let’s go back to the enemy you fought. You said he is from my tower?" Akina questions with a curious look in her eyes.
"Yes, he was one of the first main enemies I fought against. I believe I described him to you already." I respond with a bit of uncertainty, not really remembering if I did.
"The silver skull masked man. I do remember him quite well, he was an interesting human with a lot of skills." Akina said with a bit of an impressed tone.
"Why would I be seeing people from the tower though?" I ask with a bit of confusion in my voice.
"The tower itself kind of went through a collapse. I thought I sealed them all away somewhere but obviously I didn’t." Akina answers with a bit of disappointment.
I’m definitely quite curious if she actually tried to seal them or if she is just saying that she did. Akina is still someone that I’m quite on the fence about since she is a pretty powerful being from that tower.
Being able to grant wishes, make towers, floors, etc. She is definitely quite the person to worry about.
Just don’t let her know that you have doubts about her. We don’t really know what she’ll do if she thinks you are an enemy instead.
I’ll be doing my best to avoid her as an enemy if I can. There is a lot to consider going forward but I won’t let anything get ruined.
"Actually, I have a few questions for you." I say with a bit of nervousness in my voice.
Why am I getting nervous all of a sudden?
She gestures for me to go ahead and ask, the others seem to be waiting eagerly as well. I couldn’t really blame them since no one really got to ask her about anything since we arrived here originally.
"Do you know anything about the star? I can’t really remember if we got to talk about it much." I ask with a bit of curiosity lingering in my voice.
"I suppose I could talk a bit about everything. It could serve as a good warning to you all so you know what to watch out for." Akina responds while slowly begining to smile.
(Akina continues on)
The star that caused the collapse as you called it, it has done this for many different worlds. Originally you didn’t ask me much about it so I assumed you must’ve known more about the being of chaos.
Obviously since you are asking, I can assume that you don’t. Most refer to one of them as a Monarch of Chaos.
The Monarch’s of Chaos are tasked with bringing a new age to the world’s they go to, each with a different type of world. Some are more advanced like yours while others are still using swords, kings, knights, etc.
I’ve noticed that your world is pretty good at adapting to the ever changing situation but the Monarch of chaos will be back.
There is usually someone who rises high enough to challenge it’s changes to the world. In this case, you.
No one has really successfully defeated one of them since they are known as Monarch’s of Chaos for a reason. They have powers that definitely scale a bit higher than most of the rankings you humans have here.
SS and SSS. Those ranks are quite high in terms of the power it represents in your world but I don’t think it’ll be enough to fight something like that.
But sometimes even those limits are meant to be broken one way or another.
You have been assembling pretty strong people within your group so it might be possible. I’ve even agreed to help you so maybe, just maybe we can put an end to the first Monarch of Chaos.
(Akina stops there all of a sudden)
"The First Monarch of Chaos, As in Multiple Monarchs exist?" I question with a bit of panic in my voice.
Calm down Rokuro. Everything is perfectly fine, no need to panic about multiple Monarch’s. I’ll do my best to stop them all either way.
There’s got to be ways to push myself even more when it comes down to climbing the ranks.
SSS is the highest known ranks within your world but that doesn’t mean there isn’t low tier SSS ranks and high tier ones. I think you’ll be able to push past your limits quite easily with enough time and dedication.
In short, a lot of training. I’ll definitely need to see how much I can push myself with the power. I don’t want to let everyone down after getting the chance to use something strong like this.
Your companions all seem to have faith in you so far, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. The fight was never going to be easy in the first place.
I didn’t expect it to be easy. The Monarch of Chaos is definitely quite the name for the star though. It makes me wonder how many of them are truly out there.
"We’ll stop them. I believe in all of our strength combined." Ghost speaks up with a bit of confidence in her voice.
"Yeah, we can kick their asses." Lilly chimes in while cracking her knuckles.
Velia also stood up with her maniacal smile that usually showed when killing monsters so it was obvious that she agreed. Aria was also willing to help.
Everyone is on the same page about what we need to do but we’ll definitely need some time to prepare until then.
"For now we definitely need to get stronger and make sure that there isn’t any major issues here." I say with a bit of a serious tone to my voice.
We definitely have to make sure things haven’t gotten out of hand down here as well. I don’t know if monsters have been increasing or if other hunters have been causing issues.
That’ll definitely be something to look into.
