Chapter 37: Prologue part 2
Ken closed his eyes and tried to release his mana and aura when he saw the incoming attack. Even though he was in a state of exhaustion, he forced himself to use his strength.
[Genbu Shield]
Ken tries to make a barrier in the shape of a tortoise shell. Surprisingly, the mana that came out of his body was not the usual seven colors but gray. The barrier he created also looked hazy and not solid. After seeing that, Ken decided to dodge the attack.
Because Ken's barrier wasn't perfect, the arrows and fireballs couldn't be completely blocked. A fireball hit Ken's back, and an arrow pierced his thigh. But their attack wasn't over yet. A spear suddenly headed towards Ken at an incredible speed. The one who attacked Ken with the spear was Valco.
Ken twisted his body in the air to dodge the spear's attack. But he was still stabbed in the stomach and could only prevent the spear from hitting his vital organs.
"Kuh!" Ken groaned in pain.
"Give up, Ken! I know you don't have any strength left after you beat Azael." Valco tries to throw another spear. He was a knight with seven eagle-patterned aura seals. In other words, he was a Spear King.
Ken ignored what he said. He kept running towards the beach. When he had seen the shore in his gaze, he accelerated his run. But suddenly, the spear pierced his other thigh, and he fell on the beach sand.
"Kugh!" Ken crept with his fingernails towards the lifeboat he used to come to that place earlier.
"Stop doing pointless things, and accept your death!" Valco shouted while pointing his spear at Ken and signaling one of the mages to shoot a fireball.
Ken rolled with his remaining strength to dodge the fireball. Unfortunately, he was still affected by the attack, which left him blown away and ended up rolling on the sand.
"I can't go on like this!" Ken muttered and gritted his teeth. Then he forced the nine magic circles and aura seals to open. Mana and aura swirled around Ken and formed a tornado. His power soared into the sky and gathered into a thundercloud. Red lightning flashed from the dark clouds, and a hurricane razed the tents in the army camp.
"Kuh! What is this!? How can he still have this kind of power!? Shouldn't he be running out of strength right now!" Valco gritted his teeth while defending himself from the storm. On the other hand, the soldiers who weren't strong enough were blown away after being hit by the strong wind.
Ken raised his hand, and red lightning flashed towards the soldiers in front of him.
Boooooooommmmmm!
"Aah!"
"Argh!"
The soldiers at the center of the lightning strike were instantly scorched. The surrounding soldiers who were only impacted were blown away and seriously injured. The mages were busy setting up barriers to protect themselves.
"You! How do you still have that kind of power!?" Valco shouted angrily when he saw hundreds of his men die before his eyes. Then he threw his spear with all his might at Ken.
[Piercing Cyclone]
The spear rotated at high speed and formed a small tornado towards Ken. However, a thunderstorm created by Ken's power interrupted the attack, and lightning suddenly struck and shattered the spear. Not long after, another lightning bolt struck Valco.
"Kugh!" Valco tried to dodge, but the lightning strike was too fast. He was blown away and rolled on the sand just like Ken before.
"Let's end all this." Ken's voice is like the voice of a demon from the bottom of hell.
Ken raised his hand. And the red lightning gathered to make a circle in the clouds.
[Thunder Pillar]
A bolt of lightning with a size of hundreds of meters flashed from the thundercloud right where Valco and his subordinates were.
Booooooooooooooommmmmmmm!
Vibrations like a violent earthquake could be felt in most of the southern region of the Clorius continent. The roar of thunder could be heard for hundreds of miles. People could see huge pillars of lightning falling from the sky. After the pillar disappeared, the place where the lightning struck became a huge bottomless abyss with a diameter of hundreds of meters. Valco and all of his subordinates perished without a trace.
On the other hand, Ken didn't escape the impact of his attack. He was blown away very far and fell into the ocean.

"Kuh!" When Ken woke up, he felt pain all over his body. He tried to get up, but he felt excruciating pain that made him faint again.
Ken doesn't know how long he was unconscious. The sky had darkened, and the stars had also appeared. The blue moon shone where Ken was lying down.
"Urgh!" Ken finally woke up from his unconscious state. This time the pain was not as bad as before. He got up from where he was lying down and looked around only to see the sea in front of him and the forest behind him.
"I have to find out where I am right now." Ken muttered to himself. Then he pulled out the spear and arrow stuck in his thigh.
"Arrgh!" When he pulled it out, blood rushed out of the wound. Ken quickly cast healing magic to stop the bleeding. After the bleeding stopped, Ken tried to stand up and walked towards the forest. Even though he was walking with a limp, he had to find out where he was right now.
After walking around for about 2 hours, Ken rested on a big tree and ensured he was on a small uninhabited island right now.
Currently, Ken has lost his purpose in life. He was summoned to that world to subdue a fallen god. But after he defeated them, he was betrayed by the continent's people instead. He wants to be angry and take revenge. But now, he couldn't feel it inside himself. He tried to return to his original world, but he still didn't have that ability.
After a long period of contemplation, Ken finally decided to heal his wound first. After that, he will make a weapon to protect himself and think of a solution to remove Azael's curse.
"Looks like I'll have to stay here for a while." Ken looked up at the blue moon in the sky and thought back to what had happened so far.
***
One year has passed since Ken lived on that uninhabited island. His missing right arm had grown back using the combined manifestation and imitation abilities, but he still couldn't fully control his newfound power.
Ken held the gray light core in his hand at this time. It was the Divine Dress that he had created over the past few months. That wasn't all he had made while on the island. Ken also made two katana-style swords with red lines on the blades. But the sword is still not finished.
"It's time for me to inject my mana and aura. This is a final process that requires high precision." Ken muttered and gripped the two swords in his hands.
"One from the fangs of the ancient white dragon and the other from the ancient black dragon. I don't know what power they will awaken in the future." Ken began to pour his mana and aura into two swords.
The fangs of the two dragons are what Ken and his friends get during the subjugation of the fallen god. At that time, two fallen gods rode two large black and white dragons. Ken and his friends fight fiercely with the two fallen gods, ending in Ken's victory, but one of Ken's friends falls.
When the white sword is injected with mana and aura, the surrounding space is distorted, and everything around the white sword is sucked into the void. On the other hand, everything around the black sword suddenly crumbled to dust when injected with mana and aura.
The more Ken injects mana and aura, the more damage to the surroundings. Once the process reaches 100%, Ken stops injecting his mana and aura. But the two swords still made the space around them distort and shatter. The uninhabited island where Ken lived since last year had been lost by half because of the power of the two swords.
"Ah, it's going to be dangerous if it continues like this. It looks like I haven't been able to use them yet fully. Suppose I store it in my space storage, won't everything within and space itself be destroyed because of those two swords?" Ken muttered thoughtfully.
"I know. I have to seal them temporarily. It will be the same if I seal them in the space storage. Since the white sword has the ability of space and the black sword has the ability of destruction. So, can I seal them in my soul? That seems doable. I will try it." Ken suddenly got the idea to seal the two swords.
Ken unlocks his nine magic circles and aura seals. Suddenly a thundercloud formed over the island. Thunderstorms occurred within a radius of tens of kilometers. Ken focuses on his two abilities, namely manifestation and imitation. Then he made two large magic circles on his right and left hands.
"Before I seal you two, I will give a name to both of you. For the black sword, I will name it Zetta, and the white one is Alvha. We will meet again in the future." Ken inserted the two swords into the center of the magic circle, and suddenly from around the magic circle, a chain came out and wrapped around the two swords and pulled them inside. The two swords were perfectly sealed in Ken's soul.
"Okay, after everything is done, the last thing I will do is reincarnate with the magic I created during my stay here. Hopefully, with this magic, I can remove Azael's curse." Ken raised his hands, and a giant magic circle formed under his feet. Lightning raged from within the thunderclouds.
Thousands of lightning struck the magic circle under Ken's feet. The light from the magic circle was getting brighter and brighter.
"Goodbye." Thousands of red lightning bolts struck Ken at once, and he disappeared from that world. Not long after that, the place became quiet again. But after Ken activated his reincarnation magic and disappeared, he didn't know that a giant eye suddenly appeared right above the island and disappeared shortly after.
