Chương 16: Stories from the past (part 1)

After a moment of Aisha broke the silence that had fell in the room.

"If what that is true then I might have underestimated the grimoire you inherited, Liz, Elaine… I have full confidence in my son, if you don't want to get involved then…"

Before Aisha could finish her sentence, she was interrupted.

"I won't be leaving my friend aside again, so you can forget about asking me to not participate in this, besides I finally got to meet the son of my sister so how can I leave such a bad first impression ♥", said Elaine while ruffling Daimon's hair.

Elizabeth leaned her body against Daimon who got startled by the sudden softness that enveloped him, "don't tell me these soft pointy things in my back are…", he thought.

"When have I been known for following the rules hahaha, besides no one can separate me from little Daimon, humph", added Elizabeth.

Aisha shook her head somehow, she expected Liz to react like that since she knew how attached she was to her son and it seemed like Elaine was also the same.

"Liz, can you reinforce the barrier just in case please?".

Elaine smiled; she took Daimon away from her sister and placed him on her lap.

"Now, little Daimon come with big sister Elaine while Elizabeth secures the area", Elizabeth mentally sighed before standing up and taking some materials out of her storage ring, a hand sized red crystal cube and a bottle of transparent liquid.

"That crystal cube is a magic device called intervention monolith and the bottle contains a potion called shadowless trail, using these two materials you can create a completely isolated space", explained Elaine to Daimon.

Elizabeth poured the potion all over the cube which absorbed it before starting to float and project a red area which covered the whole basement.

Aisha nodded.

"Thanks Liz, with that now we can speak without any worries… let's start with the basics darling, our Wonder Myriad stellar chart is conformed by the immortal galaxy ruled by vampires, white fang galaxy ruled by the beast faction, black marsh galaxy ruled by undead and demons and finally the blue-sky galaxy ruled by the humans".

"70,000 years ago, the galaxies were in a full-scale war, until the border area of the stellar chart cracked and we were invaded by the natives of another stellar chart, at first the leaders of the local factions didn't care enough to stop fighting against each other but that changed when they were ambushed by the ruler of the other stellar chart which claimed to be a "Magus Emperor", on that battle eight Archmages and three Archknights were assassinated by him while the remaining ones managed to escape with different degrees of injuries".

"The ruler of the invaders started transporting his troops from the other side and they initiated a merciless carnage in the planets that were near the border, even when they were battling each other the local factions respected some agreements, like not mass murdering the civilians and things like that but the invaders didn't care, wherever they attacked the blood will flow as an endless sea and the corpses will pile up… they completely exterminated all the living beings of many planets just for their amusement".

"The remaining Archmages who were able to survive allied to look for a way to end the horror, the predecessor of the current Greenwich Sage created a spell to seal the crack in the border of our stellar chart, after being taken by surprise the first time the leaders created an strategy to deal with that Magus emperor guy, they noticed that on his presence the mana of the surrounding area was completely under his control which was the reason as to why the number of casualties on the mage's side was higher than that of the knights".

"After taking that into account they were able to ambush him and while twelve Archknights contained the Magus emperor another six Archmages bombarded him with their strongest spells from the distance, the battle lasted almost ten hours until they were able to knock that guy out before imprisoning him, the rest of the troops were easy to dealt with since they consisted majorly on six-to-nine-star rank mages, a couple of dozens of Mages lords and two Archmages".

"The battle ended and they sealed the crack on the border, of course the leaders were interested in that new realm which they have experienced its might on first person so they "interrogated" the now prisoner Magus emperor and they learned that after the next rank after being an Archmage was the Magus emperor and not only that but since there was no magus emperor on our stellar chart then… turns out we are on the lowest ranked ones".

"Unfortunately, that guy used a curse he had prepared beforehand to destroy his own soul to avoid the leaders getting more information from him, still some fragments of his soul remained and the little information they were able to get from them was the base for the creation of Magus kings as a failed try to advance to the next realm".

Aisha sighed.

"This episode of the Wonder Myriad stellar chart was buried in the history to avoid public panic, after all Magus emperors had grasped some control the space so… they will be able to create a tunnel to invade other stellar charts if they found a place that connected one side to the other".

"The collective contract was created by all the forces that survived the war and since Archmage level people are needed to reinforce the seal every 10 years, the magic academies were created and everyone that wanted to receive education in magic had to sign a contract which effect will activate when you become an Archmage to prevent you from spreading this information".

…

It took Daimon a moment to process the story his mother told him, basically the forces that ruled the wonder myriad stellar chart were afraid that the history will repeat itself so they have been maintaining the seal on the border but that also meant that the path to advance was blocked for them since they didn't know hot to surpass the Arch ranks.

Evangeline suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha, if that is the case then your mother will probably be the pioneer in this stellar chat because the Record of the War Goddess is not limited to the Archmage realm, the system restricts the information I can give you but I can confirm that once your mother reaches the peak of the Archmage realm then… the second tome of the record will allow her to advance".

Daimon smiled, "seems like you are not such a bad system after all huh?".

"Hehehe you are going to make me blush, as an extra service I will tell you that once your mother reaches that point, she will need to leave this low ranked place to successfully advance ♥".

Daimon felt his blood pressure rising… "I take that back you are still the worst" he answered.

"Mom… when was the last time the seal was reinforced?".

Aisha was curious as to why her son was asking that but she still said.

"One year ago… I didn't to assist to the seal ceremony because you were still too young to accompany me and I wasn't going to leave you alone with the Naktis no matter what".

Elaine patted Daimon's head, incredible I had my worries but it seems like your mom is actually free from the magic contract… you can't tell anyone about this little Daimon, Elizabeth and me are your family but if other people find out about this ability of yours then… bad things could happen.

Aisha smiles while shaking her head.

"You don't need to warn him like that, he might be young but he was brave enough to keep his composure against an Arch level dark manticore, in fact he was the one that killed it after I… died".

Elaine's eyes widened.

"You w-what?", she exclaimed.

This time Elizabeth took the initiative to explain the rest of the story about why Aisha was now a teen and all the things from the system that Daimon accepted to reveal to them which made her sister almost faint from the surprise.

"Well… certainly Aisha has always been propense to crazy things like this happening to her, just like back then, sigh it seems like your son inherited that from you hahaha".

Daimon was curious about the past story of his mother, Elizabeth and Elaine.

"Mom, I want to know how did you three became friends, after all vampires and the races from the beast faction had never been able to co-exist on a friendly way so I can't hardly imagine a situation that could unite you three like this".

Elizabeth deactivated the intervention monolith and kept it on her storage ring before stealing some glances at her sister, Elaine understood her intentions and she sighed before letting go of Daimon.

"Fine you can have him… for now".

Daimon felt like a toy being moved around between these two but he didn't complain when Elizabeth accommodated him on her lap like before.

Elizabeth poured some more wine into her cup before drinking it.

"Ok, now is my turn, make yourself comfortable on big sister's lap little Daimon ♥".

Evangeline couldn't miss the chance to mess with him, "Uwahh these women are perverts, well they do have the word "alluring" on the name of their race I guess… they match perfectly with you "l-i-t-t-l-e Daimon, hahahah".
