But then soone spoken. "But what id Reinhard is death, then what do we have".
[Echidna then spoke in Subaru mind. "Oh this mother fucker, he just made things worse"]
Panic in the room went from 10/10 to a 20/10, Subaru then acted
A dagger was thrown too all wall, strong enough to quit everyone down, as they looked at Subaru.
Subaru looked at them as he actived his [Prideful Dominion]. "Cool down everyone".
Ding!
[Prideful Dominion (27%)– [Allows the user to command and control others.] Actived]
He looked at everyone as he dropped an ancient text, that Daphne had given him last night, but no else didn't need to know about. "I found sothing in Roswaal Machine, apparently he has books even he has not read him self, be careful these pages are way too ancient, probably in the ti of Flugel".
The weight of Subaru's words pressed down on the room, the once chaotic atmosphere now frozen in tense silence. The dagger embedded in the wall was a stark reminder of how quickly things had escalated.
Julius was the first to regain his composure. He eyed Subaru carefully before shifting his gaze to the ancient to on the table. "Sothing from Flugel's era?" he questioned, skepticism in his tone.
"That's right," Subaru replied smoothly, hiding the true origins of the book. "This text might hold clues about the Black Smoke—the thing responsible for Reinhard and Halibel's disappearance."
Crusch leaned forward, examining the book. "And what exactly does it say?"
"I haven't read all of it yet," Subaru admitted. "But one passage stood out. It talks about an ancient being that once rivaled the Dragon. A creature made of pure darkness, capable of swallowing entire lands. It was said to have been sealed away by Flugel and the first Dragon Knight. But if it's returning..."
The implications were clear.
"Then this is beyond any one nation's power to handle," Russell Fellow murmured, his usual rchant's mask slipping to reveal concern. "Even if we unite, can we even stand against sothing like that?"
"We don't have a choice," Priscilla interjected, fanning herself as if the whole conversation bored her. "If that thing truly returns, then this kingdom is as good as ash. I will not allow my future throne to be reduced to rubble."
Felt scowled. "Forget the throne! We need to focus on getting Reinhard and Halibel back first!"
"That's what this book is for," Subaru said, tapping the ancient text. "There has to be sothing in here that tells us how Flugel and the Dragon Knight stopped this thing before."
"Then we need to decipher it quickly," Anastasia said, a rare mont of seriousness in her voice. "We don't have ti to waste."
Subaru nodded. "Then let's get started."
But as he glanced down at the ancient pages, he couldn't shake the feeling that ti was already running out.
Subaru then spoke. "But it has weekest, Yang magic, so we gather all the Yang mage in Lugunica and blast it too high heaven, I ns how many are the in Lugunica".
Everyone then pointed at Subaru as they spoke. "Just you and Reinhard".
Subaru blinked. "Wait, seriously?"
Russell Fellow adjusted his glasses. "Yes. Yang magic is exceedingly rare. Most practitioners either died out or never fully developed their abilities. As it stands, the only known Yang mages in Lugunica are you and Reinhard."
Subaru groaned, rubbing his temples. "Great. So my grand plan just crashed and burned."
"Not necessarily," Crusch interjected, her gaze sharp. "If this creature is weak to Yang magic, then instead of gathering mages, we should focus on amplifying the abilities of the ones we do have."
"And how do we do that?" Subaru asked, crossing his arms.
"Artifacts," Anastasia answered with a knowing smirk. "Old relics, enchanted tools—there are plenty of ancient items lying around that could enhance Yin magic. If we can find the right one, we might stand a chance."
"That's a lot of 'ifs,'" Wilhelm muttered.
"We don't have a choice," Julius stated. "If we cannot strike it down with conventional ans, then we must seek an alternative. If Subaru's magic is our key, we must strengthen it by any ans necessary."
"Fine, fine," Subaru sighed, throwing his hands up. "So where do we find these artifacts?"
Anastasia grinned. "I might know a place... but it'll cost you."
Priscilla then spoke as she looked at everyone. "I think is the perfect ti too reveal this, but my Divin Blessing of the sun allows too use Yang magic even do it is limited, and my Sword is a Yang sword".
[Insert Image of Priscilla]
Subaru's eyes widened. "Wait, what?"
Priscilla smirked, tilting her head arrogantly. "Surprised, Commoner? My Divine Blessing of the Sun allows to manipulate all aspects of energy, including Yang magic, though my usage is... limited. However, my sword, Yaegasumi, is a genuine Yang blade. It was forged long ago using ancient techniques lost to ti."
Crusch frowned. "Then why have you never ntioned this before?"
Priscilla waved her fan dismissively. "Because it was never necessary. But now that the world seems to be crumbling around us, I suppose it is my duty to enlighten you all."
Subaru ran a hand through his hair. "Okay, so that ans we have at least two and a half Yang users."
"Correction," Priscilla interjected. "One and a half. Reinhard is gone, rember?"
The room fell silent.
Anastasia cleared her throat. "Well, if Priscilla's sword is a genuine Yin artifact, then we might not need to scavenge for relics. Perhaps the key to defeating the Black Smoke is in enhancing her blade rather than searching blindly."
"Enhance it how?" Julius asked.
"Through alchemy," Russell Fellow suggested. "Or perhaps an ancient forging technique. There may still be blacksmiths or scholars who understand the properties of Yin."
"Then we should start searching imdiately," Ferris stated firmly. "We don't have ti to waste."
Subaru crossed his arms. "Fine. Let's divide into teams. So of us will investigate how to enhance Priscilla's sword, while others look for any additional ways to counter this Black Smoke. We will find a way to win."
The room, once chaotic with panic, was now filled with determination. The race against ti had begun.
Then a bard ca form the window as it Landed in one of the current temporally rulers of Lugunica, as it was only them left in the room, as everyone has left to make Subaru plan work, as the old man read the latter and panicked
"Why is the Blue Lightning coming here".
The old man's hands trembled as he read the letter again, his face turning pale. "The Blue Lightning... Why now, of all tis?"
A gust of wind blew through the open window as he gripped the parchnt tightly, his mind racing. The Blue Lightning—one of the most infamous and unpredictable figures in the world—was coming to Lugunica.
He turned to the remaining nobles in the room. "Send word to the other leaders imdiately. We need to prepare for this."
One of the advisors, an elderly woman, adjusted her glasses. "Are we certain this information is correct? The Blue Lightning has remained neutral for years. Why would they suddenly co here?"
The old man shook his head. "I don't know. But if they're coming, it ans sothing big is happening."
Another noble gulped. "What if they see us as enemies?"
"Then we may have an even bigger problem than the Black Smoke," the old man muttered. "Subaru needs to know about this imdiately."
Outside, storm clouds began to gather on the horizon.
As then in different place, soone was rushing too Lugunica as he was laughing, as he was holding a paper, as he is a youthful man of the sa age as Reinhard, who usually stands out as an oddity to those who see him. His blue eyes, which give off a rather playful and relaxed aura, coupled with his long dark-blue hair which he has tied ssily into a ponytail, make Cecilus give off a rather mysterious aura. To further exemplify his ssy personality, various strands of long hair can be seen covering the right side of his face, although not to the extent that his right eye is obscured in any way. Completely opposite to his true nature, Cecilus' facial features are soft enough that, when coupled with his slender fra, he could be mistakenly identified as a woman if one were to quickly glance at him. On the left side of his face, just below his mouth, Cecilus has a noticeable mole. Despite the many hundreds of lives he has taken throughout the years, his face isn't burdened by a sense of guilt and his smile is usually described as surprisingly friendly, warm, and welcoming smile.
[Insert image of Cecilus Segnt]
Cecilus Segnt, the Blue Lightning, dashed forward with impossible speed, tearing through the landscape as if the very wind carried him. His blue hair whipped behind him, and his playful smile remained fixed in place as he read the letter again.
"Both Reinhard and Halibal... missing. How interesting. The Strongest Knight and the Kararagi Sword Saint, both taken off the board. And now? Now it's my turn to shine."
He couldn't hold back his laughter. "Oh, the stars must truly love !"
Lugunica was in chaos. Rumors of the Black Smoke had spread, panic gripped the court, and now an ergency plan was being ford. Cecilus could only imagine the looks on their faces when he arrived unannounced.
"I wonder... will they welco ? Or will they try to stop ?"
His hand gripped the hilt of his sword, the famous blade that had cut down countless foes. Not out of malice, but simply because that was who he was Cecilus Segnt, the man who danced with battle, whose very existence was defined by the clash of blades.
"Either way, this is going to be fun."
In the distance, Lugunica's walls ca into view. The Blue Lightning had arrived.
anwhile with Subaru he felt sothing as he spoke in his mind. "I feel like one hell of wild card is coming this place".
[Typhon then spoke in his head. "Big Brother I feel that as well".
Echidna then spoke in his head. "Will we just have too wait and see what will happen].
Subaru sighed as he rubbed his temples. "Great. As if things weren't already crazy enough, now we have a new variable."
He turned to look at the others still in the room. Emilia, Priscilla, Crusch, and Anastasia all had serious expressions, each processing the crisis in their own way. Felt, who had just returned from briefing her knights, looked the most frustrated.
Emilia tilted her head slightly. "Subaru, what's wrong?"
Subaru crossed his arms. "Just a bad feeling. A really, really bad feeling. Like... a walking disaster is about to show up and make everything even more complicated."
Priscilla scoffed, placing a hand on her hip. "Hmph. You act as if the arrival of one more fool will change anything. Let them co—I shall deal with them accordingly."
Crusch nodded in agreent. "If it's a powerful ally, they may aid us. If it's an enemy, we will eliminate them. Either way, we continue our preparations."
Subaru wasn't convinced. "You don't get it... this isn't just any random person. This is soone who'll either shake things up in our favor or turn everything upside down."
At that mont, the ground trembled slightly.
Anastasia narrowed her eyes. "...Did you feel that?"
Subaru's eyes widened. "Oh, hell no."
Sowhere beyond the city walls, the Blue Lightning had arrived.
