Chapter 47: The island...

Azarath, Raven's room...

~Master!!~

A cute little pixie came flying directly into my face as soon as I stepped foot in Raven's room.

*Bam*

"Hi, Nayru, Raven."

I looked at Raven, who was on his desk reading some magical tale.

She turned around.

"Hi, Isaac"(Raven)

~Why didn't you tell me you were coming, Master?~

She was still on my left cheek.

"Ah well, I was checking some things, and I noticed that I forgot about your evolution."

~Eh?~

"Evolution?"(Raven)

"You didn't know Nayru?" I looked at Nayru, ignoring Raven's question for now.

~No, I thought that Nayru would always be like this.~

She flew away from my face into Raven's bed.

"Hmm"~{What does this she mean?}~

[The evolution of an Arcane Creature is rare, even for their own species.]

{I see, so is it thanks to you that she can evolve in the first place?}

[Correct]

"Sorry, Raven, to answer your question; well, you already knew that Nayru is an Arcane creature, but at certain point she can evolve into another form or species altogether." I looked back at Raven.

"I see"(Raven)

"So, Nayru, do you want to evolve?" I looked back at Nayru.

~Will it hurt?~

She tilted her head with a trace of worry in her little face.

{System?}

[Negative]

"No, it will not," I say, shaking my head.

~Then...yes!~

"Got it"~{System if you please}~

[Initiating Evolving Procedures]

Suddenly, Nayru started to glow...

~{Wait...I feel like I have seen this before} ~

"Wow"(Raven)

[Evolution Complete]

From the light, Nayru appeared...

Before, she had pink hair, white skin, and emerald blue eyes. Now she had lighter pink hair, beautiful white skin, and emerald eyes. The pair of translucent wings in the back were replaced by four pairs, and the dress made out of leaves was replaced by an aquamarine elegant dress made out of silk. But the most important detail was that her size increased from 0' 3 to 1' 4 ft.

I looked closely at her status window.

[Arcane Creature]

[Nayru (Fairy)]

[Level: 1]

[Skills: [Dia] [Zio] [Patra] [Companion] [Fairy's Blessing] [Thorn Bind] 

[Fairy's Blessing: Increase magic damage by 20%, increase magic recovery by 30%]

[Thorn Bind: Create a Thorn-like plant to bind and damage your target (5-second cooldown)]

"Are you alright, Nayru?" (Raven)

~Yes, yes, I'm Raven.~

{Hmm, even her speech pattern changed...}

*****************

After a couple of days of me catching up to Raven, Nayru, and Arella, I left Azarath.

Tampa, Florida...

Now in my house, I started to get back on the routine: read, work out, practice martial arts, and repeat.

The reason for me not doing anything was because I was waiting for something...

*Ring* *Ring*

*Click*

"Yes Mathew?"

"Sir, we need to talk."

{Oh, that's not good}

The next day...

We are now face-to-face and Matthew looks guilty.

"So, what happened?"

"Well, sir, I did as you told me. I started to look for some private and unhabitable islands, but as soon as I mentioned my name, the price that they wanted changed into..." (Mathew)

"A negotiation of stocks or exclusive contracts isn't?"

*Sigh*

"Yes sir"(Mathew)

"Those bastards really want a piece of me, huh? Well,  don't worry about it; you try; it's their loss."

"But sir, I can still..." (Mathew)

"It's alright, Matthew; leave it; focus on the new projects, understood?"

"Yes, sir"(Mathew)

He left with his face showing frustration.

{Sorry, my friend, I have an easier solution}

___________________________________

In a random place in the Atlantic Ocean, a magical portal appeared out of nowhere.

Out of the portal, a man wearing a blue robe with white and golden gloves that looked like the skin of a snake, grey boots with golden runic inscriptions, and a dark mask with a blue hood with the same golden runic patters steps out, floating on the air.

On top of the man, a golden crown was levitating over his head.

"Here will do..." His voice was an amalgamation of different types of voices, making it impossible to recognize.

"[Ein' Sòf]"

The crown descended on his head...

*Hum*

The space itself trembled, and the water below him started to move rapidly.

"[Concealment]"

As soon as the words were spoken, the man slowly started to disappear.

_______________________________________

Inside the concealed space...

"[Rise]"

As soon as my words were spoken, the water below me started to turn chaotic.

*Splash*

*Splash*

*Crack*

*Hum*

From below, something was getting up to the surface...

*SPLASH*

A huge piece of land was pulled out onto the surface of the ocean.

"Cool..."

~{Now I have my own island}~

******************

On the unamed island...

"This will need a bit of work, but it's alright for now."

I had already cancelled my magic and was exploring the new piece of rock that I pulled out of the ocean floor.

This piece of land was relatively large, about 7 acres, I think. I could be wrong, but the important part was that it was mine.

"Right, I need to secure the place. Although the concealment barrier will last for about a hundred years, it's better safe than regret later."

So I started to put talismans and runes all over the island.

Three hours later...

*Huff* *Huff*

"This will do, now for the main attraction."

~{System pulls out the tower}~

[Understood]

*Fwha* 

A portal appeared on top of the island, and from within, a gaint tower was falling into the ground.

"Hey, hey, it's not going to break, right?"

[The Ivory Tower is made of the most resistant and durable materials on the multiverse.]

"So that's a no."

*BOOM*

*CRASH*

*Cough* *Cough*

When the dust settled, an impressive black-looking tower was in front of me.

~[It's been a while, Master]~

"Oh, hi tower, how are you doing?"

~[Currently, my primary functionality is working, but there are some systems that are not working due to a lack of power.]~

"I know, that's why I make these."

I pull out of my inventory five magic engines.

"Will this work?"

[Yes, they will, Master]

The five engines disappeared.

*Hum*

I could see that the runic patterns of the tower were starting to glow.

~[Master, tower functionality is at 100%]. ~

"Good, I'm going in."

~[Gladly]~


Chapter 48: Guests...

Inside the Tower...

When I entered the tower, I was immediately teleported into a big room.

This room had bookshelves, tables with chairs, a bed, and some large windows to the sides.

I ignored the room and asked what was important.

"So, what are your functions?"

~[The primary objective of the Tower of Knowledge is to train young mages into the path of mysticism]~

"Your secondary?"

~[House the most powerful artifacts and forbidden knowledge]~

"I see, so what I saw on the test was nothing."

I moved to one of the bookshelves.

~[Correct]~

"Can I access that knowledge?"

~[Yes, as the current owner, you can dispose of everything inside the tower]~

"Got it, then lock every knowledge that corrupts the user for now and let me see the knowledge that is left."

I moved to the tables.

~[Gladly]~

On the tables, rows of books started to appear.

"This is going to take a while."

On the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean...

A strange-looking submarine ship was speeding through the ocean.

"Did you find it?" (???)

"No, sir, we lost contact before we could triangular the exact location" (???).

"Hmm, the Queen will not be happy if we don't identify the incident. Keep looking!" (???)

"Yes sir!" (???)

The ship accelerated more.

_______________________________________

On a northern Atlantic island hidden from the world...

A magnificent civilization built it's paradise there.

"Mother, did you feel it?" (???)

"Yes, I did, child; that's why I ordered a regiment to scout those waters."(???)

"Can I go with them?" (???)

"No"(???)

"But mother..."(???)

"End of discussion"(???)

"...yes mother"(???)

________________________________________

Back at the Tower...

After a couple of hours, I finished reading a couple of books when suddenly...

~[Unauthorized people detected near the perimeter]~

"Oh, let me see."

~[Understood]~

Two holographic windows appeared in front of me; on these windows, the outside of the concealment barrier was depicted.

The first one depicted the surface of the ocean, where an ancient vessel was sailing directly to this island.

The second one depicted the nearby bottom ocean, where a strange submarine ship was approaching this island at a rapid pace.

"Of course these two will come."

~{What a pain...} ~

~[What are your instructions, Master]~

"Right, first, I want you to take control of the whole island; you can use it as you please, and second, I will receive the guess."

I stood up from the table.

********************

The ancient vessel stopped in the middle of the ocean.

"Is this the place?" (???)

A rough, feminine voice came from the captain's room of the vessel.

*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*

"Yes, Captain Faruka, according to the artifact, it is in front of us."(???)

The so-called Captain, a 5' 8" woman, had white skin and long, curly brown hair with a patch in her right eye.

"Interesting..."(Faruka) 

She looked in front of her and saw nothing.

"What do we do, Captain?" (???)

"Kalia!"(Faruka)

"Yes, captain!" (Kalia)

A 6' 2" woman with brown skin and black long hair answered her call.

"Prepare your warriors"(Faruka)

"Yes!(Kalia) She went below deck.

After a couple of minutes, six more fully equipped female warriors came out.

They began to move into the smaller boats, but suddenly, in front of the vessel, a distortion appeared.

"Everyone to arms!" (Faruka)

*Ching* *Swish* *Clank*

Everyone on deck was prepared for battle.

From the distortion, something came out: what it looks like is a person; this person had robes and a mask.

This person was floating with a piece of ground on its feet.

"At ease, Amazons, I meant no harm."

The voice of this person was bizarre—an amalgamation of different types of voices.

"Introduce yourself!" (Faruka) She demanded.

"That can wait..."

"To what!?" (Faruka) She was losing her temper.

"To them"

He pointed at the empty part of the ocean beside them.

"Huh?"(Faruka)

Suddenly...

*Splash*

A futuristic submarine ship came out to the surface of the water.

*Tssi*

A vent opened on top of the vessel, and from it, eight armored people came out.

"Now we can begin. Welcome guests. I'm Sephiroth, and I have claimed this piece of land as mine. Now what can I do for the both of you?" The man floating declared.

"Ha, ha, ha, you claimed? All the ocean belongs to the  Atlanteans.(???)

"Is that so? then I don't mind buying it from your kingdom."

"You! That's it; guards kill this groundwalker." (???) 

The Atlantean lost his temper easily.

"Stop it immediately, Prince!" (???)

An Atlantean put himself in front of the enraged Prince.

{Ah, Ocean Master, what a surprise}

"What are you doing, Vulko?" (???)

"Please escort Prince Orm back to the ship(Vulko)

""Yes sir!""(Guards)

The enraged Atlantean was forcefully escorted back into the ship.

"My apologies for the both of you"(Vulko)

He bows to the Amazons and me.

"Hmm"(Faruka)

"It's alright"

"Then, Mister Sephiroth, I welcome you into the Kingdom of Atlantis to solve this misunderstanding." (Vulko)

{Clever guy, you must be a politician}

"It will be my honor to visit."

The man floating made a little bow to the Atlantean.

"Very well, a messenger will be coming in three moons." (Vulko)

"I will be waiting."

"Then goodbye"(Vulko)

He bowed again and left.

*Tssi*

The vent closed, and the ship was submerged underwater.

"Well, then, Amazon, what can I do for you?"

The man floating looked at the Amazon vessel.

"I'm here in the name of the Queen of the Amazons to retrieve the artifact that you used to create this island!" (Faruka)

""Huh?"""

Some Amazons were confused; those were not the orders of the Queen.

"Your ambition is strong, Amazon, but don't try to eat more than you can chew. By the respect I have for your Queen, leave this place; if not, all of you will die."

That person saw right through her scheme, but it doesn't matter to her.

"You defied a decree by the Queen; what is the punishment, warriors?" (Faruka)

""Death!""

"FIRE!"(Faruka)

*Zip* *Zip* *Zip*

A couple of dozen arrows were shot at the floating person.

*Fwa* *Fwa* *Fwa*

Only for the arrow to miss the target spectacularly.

"What!?""Why!?""I can't hit him!"

These phrases became common in a couple of minutes.

"Stop this foolishness, Amazon. Last warning: leave this place."

~[Hostile people detected initiating security protocol]~

{Don't attack yet; wait for my signal}

~[Understood]~

"Tch, useless; if arrows don't do anything, then..." (Faruka)

She leaped into the mastiff of her vessel, and with this support, she launched herself toward the person floating in front of her.

"Aaagh!"(Faruka)

"[Boost]+[Repulsive Blast]"

Out of nowhere, the person floating pulled out a staff and pointed at the Amazon in front of it.

*Boom**CRASH*

The Amazon was pushed back into her vessel, crashing into the captain's quarters.

""Captain!""

"A Sorcerer"(???)

"Amazons, if you attack me again, I will kill you. If you don't, you can leave this place. Your choice."

Some of the Amazons began to doubt...

"Don't falter, sisters; kill that person! for the Queen!" (Kalia)

This Amazon managed to rally a couple of the doubtful Amazons, and they attacked by using the same strategy as her leader, using the vessel as a launching pad; others were shooting arrows at the person.

{Kill the ones that are shooting and leaping into the air}

~[Understood]~

~Zip~ ~Zip~ ~Zip~

From behind the person, rapid flashes of light were shot.

*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*

And with each shot, an Amazon fell... dead.

*Gasp*

*Crash* *Crash* *Crash* *Splash*

Now was the turn of the Amazons that leaped into the air; some of them fell into the vessel, but others fell into the ocean.

"..."

The hole vessel was silent, but this didn't last...

*Crash*

"You bastard! ...huh!?" (Faruka)

The Amazon leader saw her vessel with a dozen corpses of Amazons.

"What!?"(Faruka)

"[Boost]+[Shadow Bind]"

From her shadow, ropes came out, imprision it her.

"You! Release me!" (Faruka)

{Did you record everything?}

~[Yes, master, since the very beginning]~

{Good, pass the recorded orb into my inventory}

~[Understood]~

"You...piece of...release me..." (Faruka)

With a wave motion of the person floating, a rope from the vessel covered her mouth and her body. He made a pulled motion, and she was pulled into the person's island.

"Mmh..mmh"(Faruka)

"Leave Amazons, here..."

The person threw something into the nearby Amazon.

"That is a record, orb; I recorded everything that transpired here. I will take your leader as a hostage; next time, bring a proper leader."

He turned around and left; the distortion closed.

"Laila..."(Amazon)

"Stop, gather the bodies in the ocean, and we are going back, understood!" (Laila)

""Yes""
