He walked out of the room that he was in back to the white space. He imdiately noticed that there was a splash of color in the plain white room.
The white door of the Room of Records was glowing in a bright gold color. He walked toward it, srized by the color. His hands hovered over the door's handle as he thought about what could be inside the room.
The last ti he had felt his tattoo glow was when he encountered the Elderwood seed. And that seed was his greatest treasure that got him to the level he was at now. He didn't expect sothing of physical value beyond the door, but he hoped to encounter sothing that was as useful to him as his tree.
He opened the door and walked inside. The minute he stepped into the room, he noticed that the room wasn't white as it was previously. Instead, its walls and ceiling were plastered in a golden glow that was almost blinding.
The minute the doors behind him closed, the room flashed with a bright light. He instinctively closed his eyes to shield them from the light. For so reason, he couldn't even see anything with his perception. When he opened his eyes again, he realized that he was in a completely different location.
He found himself on top of a mountain, high up in the air. Below him were the clouds that the mountain towered over. The sun was illuminating the peak of the mountain. He thought he was alone based on what he could see with his perception. When he looked up, though, he realized that he was wrong.
A mile away from the mountain, a single person stood with his back toward Leo. The person was facing three others.
The three were wearing luxurious robes and had magic staffs, so Leo could guess that they were mages. One of them looked incredibly old and was dressed in a white and gold robe, while the other two were young females. They were both in green robes with gold accents.
"So, you have co to face , Arcane Emperor," the old man said.
Leo's expression turned into surprise and then realization. He understood why the room he entered was called the room of records. It was the room that held the records of the Arcane Emperor.
He observed closely to see exactly what his predecessor looked like. From the back, Leo could only see his black hair.
"Are you surprised that I am facing you?" The Arcane Emperor said. "You are a person that I have to fight. It was inevitable."
The old man shook his head. "I disagree. The offer for you to join is still open. But if you disagree now, I am afraid I have to fight you with all my strength."
Leo waited for the Arcane Emperor to say sothing with anticipation. Based on his voice, Leo could guess that he was not nearly as old as the other mage.
"I am afraid I cannot do that. We will always defer in our fundantal beliefs," he said.
"You have too much righteousness. I don't know if you inherited the quality from your blood or grew it, but it will be your downfall. You need to know when to take a step back." The old man said.
"Who are the people behind you?"
The old man looked behind at the two young won behind him. They both looked very young - about 25 ad 27 respectively - and similar to each other. Both of them seed to be confused about what was happening there. Just like Leo, they had no idea about what was going on.I think you should take a look at
"These girls? They are my new disciples. They were going to be your reward if you chose to join . They are sisters and are considered very attractive in their entire empire. But since you aren't planning on accepting my offer, they can only be sacrifices for my newest spell," the old man said.
When he said that the expression of the won changed. They both tried to leave the area, but the old man moved before them. He closed his right fist and the won froze in their place, unable to move. anwhile, the Arcane Emperor didn't show any change in his deanor.
"You haven't changed your ways at all. You deserve the nickna that your victims give you. You are a Scheming Ghost," the Arcane Emperor said.
The old man frowned. "You can call all you want. I will tolerate it. But that nickna is sothing that degrades . And I am surprised that you are able to maintain your composure. I heard from my previous disciple that you were a lot more hot-tempered when he t you," he said.
"That was over ten years ago. A lot has changed since then. But I do request you not to implicate the girls. This is a fight between the two of us." The Arcane Emperor said.
"Aries, can I call you that? Why do we need to fight? We can both go our own ways and not interfere with what each other does," the Scheming Ghost said.
Aries, the Arcane Emperor, shook his head. "You are trying to establish an empire that enslaves every human that you think is unworthy of magic. I can never let that happen. Prepare for the fight, Jared," Aries said.
Jared pointed his staff toward Aries and calmly said, "I was never afraid of you."
Aries pulled out staff from his own dinsional ring. "Should we begin?"
Leo looked expectantly at the fight. He was hoping that the fight would be as magnificent as the backstory that was leading to it. He didn't expect that the Arcane Emperor would be facing soone who was trying to establish a more authoritative regi than the current state of Solaria.
He could also see that the two girls who couldn't move were shaking with fear. To them, the fight decided their fate. The fight between the two finally started at this mont.
"I will start. Blood Wave," Jared waved his hand, forming a huge wave of blood like magic. The magic itself seed to be red in color while having a viscous feeling that only ca with blood.
It was a sea of red that ford above the clouds. Even though there wasn't even any object to be a reference for comparison, Leo could understand exactly how big the effects of the spell were.
With another wave of his hand, the entire wave of blood ca crashing onto Aries. He reacted quickly to the incoming attack.
"Eternal Sanctuary," he said.
A huge pair of wings ford behind him and covered him by closing around his body. The crashing waves hit the translucent feathers before dissipating. Once the attack was over, Aries released his sanctuary.
When the attack was blocked by the sanctuary, Jared felt the least bit worried. When the sanctuary was released, he prepared his next attack to throw Aries' way.
"Blood Spear," Jared said.
A massive spear made out of blood ford behind him. The spear pointed itself at Aries and waited for his signal. When Jared waved his hands, the spear launched itself at him, aiming for his head.
