Unknown Magic

"M-my arena." She cried as she ran over to check on it, Igneel's eyes were blank for a moment, he looked at the damage, although the place was slowly healing itself, in the game this was not possible. after all, this was a world item. 

Dragon Sovereign Breath: an extreme attack capable of ignoring all defense and resistance placed before it. although it costs a huge amount of MP, its power shows why this attack rivals or even trumps Dimensional Slash.

Now, you may be wondering, what was Dimensional Slash? Let's first look at reality slash, a 10th-tier spell that cuts through the fabric of space, allowing it to ignore most defense, and cut through just about anything. In the game, it ignores most defenses and lands serious damage, but in real life, this attack seems to cut all.

above this was World break. an attack that uses the element of space to cut. space was the sharpest thing there was, space even existed between atoms. now, use something so sharp as a weapon. you would find that those defenses capable of blocking reality slash are unable to block. this 10th-tier spell was a step away from being a super-tier spell. it cost more MP to cast than reality clash and did far more damage.

then there was a Dimensional Slash. the most powerful attack in the game, an attack said to cut the world itself. this was a super-tier spell, that ignored range and space. before this attack, space is 1 dimension. a straight line it would follow, and no matter how you run and dodge, you would always find yourself hit by this attack. it was broken? well, all super-tier spells were broken. this just stood at the peak.

While magic only goes up to the 10th tier, Super-Tier Magic is said to go beyond that limit. Super-tier magic acts more like a special ability rather than an actual spell. Magic casters can unleash it without consuming any of their MP. The number of super-tier spells a player could learn is one for each level after level 70. When it is first learned, it can only be used one time a day.

However, it can be used increasingly once more for every additional ten levels gained. Thus, the average player who has managed to finally reach level 100 in YGGDRASIL can use Super-Tier Magic at least four times a day and will have about thirty super-tier spells in their arsenal. Each super-tier spell also needed a certain amount of casting time before it could be put into effect.

Dragon Sovereign Breath was equal to Dimension Slash, but there were a few differences. one, it uses MP, two it could be cast whenever I went and have enough MP, and two, like dimensional Slash, this attack ignores just about everything. but sadly even Igneel could only use it 2 times a day, due to the huge amount of MP it costs to use it.

"Let's not use that, my lord," Alfred said with sweat, that attack could have killed him if he hadn't dodged.

"my bad, I was lost for a moment," I said in embarrassment. if that attack had landed on an enemy they would find themselves unable to heal from it. this is because of the Cursed Dragon, which made it so attacks on land can't be healed by normal means. of course, I could remove the curse and add it back on when I wish.

"... do you have other attacks such as that?" Alfred asked, to which I nodded slightly, I had the Super tier spell, Dragon Sovereign Call, which allowed me to summon dragons with with stats 10% less than my overall stats. the more dragons I wish to summon, the longer the casting time for the spell. sadly, its casting speed couldn't be shortened.

There was the Super tier spell, YGGDRASIL Champion. which allowed me to summon the power of the 9 realms for a short amount of time. since world Champions get a boost of power in the realms they were champions in, with this super tier spell, I could bring the realms to where I am, allowing for my strength to increase greatly. this one casting speed was over 30 seconds, and the realms I called upon could remain until I send them back, or if I'm out of the range of the effect of the spell.

there was the Super tier Spell Dragon Champion, which allowed me to attack with a super breath attack, which would always land critical if it managed to land. it has no clear element, so it was not affected by things with affected type flame attacks, or something like that.

I had over 30 Super Tier spells, and I was able to cast a Super Tier spell up to 10 times a day. I also had the unique ability to Shorten. gained from my YGGDRASIL Champion job class, allowing me to shorten the casting of spells or cool down time by half. it was a passive skill, so all of the spells I knew I could cast all twice of fast as others.

Yeah... I was broken, why else do you think I stopped caring about playing with the guilds once the 2 only guilds that could challenge me disappeared? world enemies? I could crush them all with ease even before becoming a world Dragon, of course in a one-on-one. I don't know when I become a world Dragon, maybe I could take on more than one of them.

I was the best player, but even I didn't know the full strength I had once I became a World Dragon, at that point, the game was coming to an end.

"Well, if it could do that in your human form... I want to see your dragon form." Hela said with a sigh of relief seeing her arena healing. she looked toward me with expected eyes, Alfred also had the same look, he just didn't say anything.

"no... I have a feeling the second floor is too small to hold me." I said calmly, leaving Hela and Alfred stunned. then again, they were huge in their dragon forms as well, it was reasonable that their lord would be far bigger.

"thats right... one day this place would be too small to hold you guys. I should work on increasing the space here." I said softly, unlike most guilds, I was able to increase the space of my guild. this was thanks to the fact it was a magical item, a world item.

but the price to do so for each floor was a lot, so more reason to gather as many coins as possible, or else they would grow to such heights that they would be unable to guard their floors. even in the game, there was some limit to the size of monsters, but for some like the Devourer of the Nine Worlds, it was a dragon in the form of a gigantic monster that toppled the World Tree YGGDRASIL.

I was able to finish the storyline alone and defeat this dragon by myself once I became a Dragon overlord. then it brings the question about when I became a world dragon? of course, it would have been far easier since I would have had the Dragon Sovereign Aura, Dragon Sovereign Breath, and many other things. So, Igneel returned to battle, this time paying more attention to his attacks. 

Levi and the tribe soon moved, moving near the river where they created a branch river that could flow through the new tribe. Odin helped draw the fish towards them, allowing them to quickly start working on their fish farm.

Arbol cast a spell on the land, increasing the effect of plant growth, this allowed them to quickly learn how to plant stuff, what took the longest to grow, and what took the shortest amount of time.

Levi has many dreams, from how to create bread, to how to build buildings. this allowed them to move from their hunts or tents, to slowly build real houses. everyone saw the knowledge the gods were giving them, but after a month of free knowledge, Levi got a unique dream.

"My Lord." Levi drops his knees seeing his god walking through the tribe, seeing all of the changes they made in that short 1 month. from farms to fish farms, to even allowing everyone in the village world. females were no longer staying home, they could now do something to support everyone.

"This is a dream... you did a great job, Levi. but after today, I will stop giving you everything you ask for." the god said, leaving Levi frozen in shock.

"It alright to hold your child's hands, and teach them to walk. but at some point, you have to let them walk on their own, to fall and pick themselves up. I created your race to have the power to adapt and grow far faster than most other races, so I will be looking towards that from you." I said softly, Levi was frozen for a moment, but he nodded in understanding.

"Across the village, go forth and conquer the tribe there. they have been eyeing you for some time now, as for how you deal with it, I wish for you to pick the best path. killing is the simplest and easiest path, a true king of humanity can make the hardest choice." I said pointing towards the river. suddenly, Levi and I moved, appearing within the tribe across the river.

"we should attack them at night. they work so hard that by nighttime, they are all asleep." A skinny young man said with a cold look while looking towards the tribe leader. who was sitting on a throne, a woman kneeling before his wide open legs, her head moving up and down

"then we move tomorrow, night, have our man ready. we are not to kill, I want to know where they get their knowledge to grow fruits and raise fish." The tribe leader said with a cold smile,

"the sword I gave you has 4 abilities it could give you. so far you touched upon reality slash, which is the strongest... but the rest are not so weak either. I leave you to learn to manage new people, gain their trust, and so on. learn from your elders, and be open-minded. rule through love instead of fear." I said softly, to which Levi bowed deeply

"I understand, I will not disappoint you," Levi said softly, before opening his eyes, only to find himself lying on the ground with Lillith looking at him with a curious look. Levi's face turned bright red, he quickly got up and crawled away from Lilith.

"You talk in your spell. I curious." Lilith said with innocent child-like eyes, leaving Levi lost in her beauty. but he shook his head before getting up, going to call his father and everyone else about the dream he just had.

Levi was a bright kid, knowing that they would be attacked, he worked with everyone to set up a trap. although many of the older generation wanted to attack, Levi reminded them all what his god said.

"Killing is the simplest and easiest path, a true king of humanity can make the hardest choice," Levi said, causing everyone sitting in the house to go quiet, unable to say a thing, since it was what their god said, then it was true.

"then what should we do?" Levi's father asked with a frown, unhappy with how everyone so easily changed their thoughts just because of this god.

"We know they are attacking, so let's trap them. like how bright the river branches over here. let's try and lead them towards a trap. our lord said we humans' strongest ability isn't in our strength but in our mind." Levi said taking a stick to draw on the ground.

"the tribe walls are built like this, so when the enemy comes and attacks, they would only have 2 ways to enter. the back and the front, under the cover of the night, let have everyone hide outside the village, they think we are sleeping, so they would be off guard. once they enter, we close the gates, use the letters to stand on the wall, and force them all to surrender." Levi said, making everyone's eyebrow raise at such a trap, but there were many mistakes.

"they could use the houses for cover." Levi's Father said, to which Levi looked up for a moment, before speaking. we remove them... leave a few houses with roofs to trap them in, and have them go without food until they throw their weapons out, and step out naked. some might not enter the tribe, but we can pick them off one by one, we outnumber them. 2 to 1, so we can split out numbers. no... the females here are also training to be warriors following the guard of the lord god. so it's more like 3 to 1." I said leaving everyone quiet for some time,

"is it wise to let the woman fight?" one of the adults there asked, to which Levi went quiet for a moment,

"I believe so, some of them fire arrows better than me and they just began training. let's give them a chance before we say anything like that," he said softly, to which everyone nodded with hesitant looks. in this era, women belonged at home taking care of the tribe while men did the hunting and heavy work,

Anyway, everyone got to work. removing the roofs of the houses, while making the walls and doors able to be locked from the outside. the laters were all hidden outside so, they could use it, while the children were taken into the forest, this way they couldn't make any noises to alert the enemy. no, night soon fell,

under the cover of the night, a group of warriors, around 70 in number entered the tribe, they took a moment to learn how to open the doors, but once they removed the vines holding them, they entered and quickly entered, heading towards the houses, where they were going to bind the hands legs, and mouths of those inside. but to their shock, they found no one was there. to make it worse, everyone had entered, and the doors all shot behind them.

the sound of something hitting the wall filled the silent air, everyone looked up, only to see many warriors aiming bows at them.

"you're surrounded, drop your weapons and lay on your stomach," Levi said calmly... and so that night, marked Levi's first conquest of another tribe. it wasn't so easy, but Levi showed them all that he could use magic. the whole day, Levi had been busy trying to see if he could use the 3 other spells this sword held,

he managed to find one of them, called Storm Dragon. A 10th-tier spell caused storm clouds to gather when Levi showed them this spell, the lightning dragon swam in the storm clouds, before falling landing far away, and not only the tree but the land around it was destroyed, everyone fell to their knees at the power of the gods

so, their tribe absorbed another tribe, the tribe wall had to be destroyed and rebuilt to hold the many new people, but it was done, plus, the new people had to be closely watched, unsure if they would up and try and fight them. but Levi underestimated just how fearful they were of his power, yes some wanted to take the sword from themselves, but when they tried two the sword became extremely heavy, unable to be carried by them.

this wasn't because the sword was unique or anything, it was just that a shinobi just so happened to press down on the blade. As a dragon, those poor humans nearly broke their arms when they tried to take the sword. No one could even see through the shinobi stealth, no one there could see a thing. although some had sharp instincts, feeling like something was there or looking at them. it only moved them as they believed their god was looking at them.

So, Levi began to grow his land, while also not forgetting to train, but the more people they had the more mouths to feed. so, he had to work on that. the concept of money wasn't a thing here, those with value could eat, and those without value could get the leftovers if there were any.

But Levi changed this, going as far as creating a bigger farm to hold fish, raising more cows, and so on, his people quickly grew to rival the ruler of these parts. the large tribe which all nearby tribes had submitted under.

"My lord, it seems like Levi has turned his sight to the Senju clan," Odin said causing Igneel to frown slightly. holding out his hand, Odin gave him a summary of how Levi had been doing so far, as well as the new information Fuma managed to get from him.

"so, a member of the Senju clan was blessed with an item that allows them to control plants by a dragon?" I asked with a raised eyebrow, this would be the first step they have with meeting the magic of this world.

so far all they knew about the magic of this world was that only dragons and those with the blood of dragons had them. but here tells the short story of the first clan leader of the Senju clan, who managed to stop an injured wood dragon. shocked, he helped the dragon heal up using his skills as an alchemist,

grateful, the dragon used its magic to gift the human a ring, which allowed the human to control plants. with such a gift, this man went on to create the Senju clan, and today the current owner of that ring is considered to be the most skilled wonder of the ring.

"so, what do you plan on doing?" I asked calmly, Odin bowed slightly before speaking.

"supporting Levi from the shadows if he were to need it. the enemy side has stronger warriors and better weapons. plus, they hold more knowledge they can't be called a tribe, they could be called a village." Odin said calmly, 

"what level would the strongest people in that village be?" I asked calmly,

"level 29," Odin said leaving me quiet for some time, Levi was only level 13. yes, if he lands a reality slash he could win, but highly unlikely. I thought for some time before speaking

"say nothing and let him do as he wishes, I will appear when he is about to lose. I will go see if I have a ring with a similar ability to that ring of the Senju clan." I said calmly, to which Odin's face dropped slightly as if he had something to say but didn't know how to

"Speak," I said with a frown, Odin sighed before speaking

"that ring gives him unlimited control of nature. it's not limited by the number of days, nature just twists and turns to his wishes. I don't think we have an item like that, I searched, but only Arbol's control of nature could rival it." He said, making me found deeply 

"Raven," I called out, causing Raven who was standing with the other elite maids to step forward and kneel before my throne.

"go and get that ring, Odin has your ravens be on the watch for any dragons near there," I said seriously, to which two nodded before leaving the care out my orders, but I also moved, heading outside and keeping a close eye on them from afar. I was not planning on allowing my people to fall any time soon,
