Unapproachable Vern

Unknown time later, the trading city of the state of Vern.

Verne is one of the richest countries that emerged after the great cataclysm, even compared to fairly large empires. The wealth of the city provides its trade-advantageous location, which is located between several warring empires.

The city has long been ruled by the Werner family, known throughout the continent, or popularly known as the white family. For unknown reasons, the number of the family itself was small. In each generation of seven, only the eldest child could inherit the throne due to the fact that a well-known curse was passed on to him. When the first child was conceived, the mother's energy was transferred to the child, killing her. The father of the child, like the mother, eventually lost the remnants of his strength and died.

The child himself at birth necessarily had certain features of white hair and bright blue eyes. He possessed incredible talents and intelligence, but each of them could not surpass the level of a demigod. Reaching the demigod, this vile curse began to act and his soul began to weaken. Therefore, most of the heirs of the seven Werners did not live to be 600 years old, dying necessarily leaving the next heir.

Each heir after birth was placed under the strict protection of the eternal guard. The Eternal Guard is a specially trained guardian, a group of people whose bodies have been implanted with many rashu items that do not allow them to betray the family. After reaching the age of three, the child begins to be taught a variety of theoretical knowledge. When a child turns ten years old, rashu training and a variety of weapons are added to his training regime. By the age of 15, supervision is removed, and the heir under supervision passes to the management of the state.

As for the curse itself, someone in the family could not find a solution, even the keeper of the seven for his long existence did not find the cause of its occurrence. In this regard, to strengthen the seven, some rulers, having specially conceived an heir, created several more children before their death. They did not have the same talents as the firstborn, and their facial features could pass from the mother. The mother of these children remained alive after giving birth.

These children received special training, and after they were appointed to important positions of the state.

The city itself was a tasty morsel for many empires, which led to attempts to capture it. But all these attempts ended with huge losses on the part of the attackers.

A millennium ago, the fledgling Runum Empire, mired in endless conquest, decided to invade and conquer the city to demonstrate its strength in the world. This gave rise to violent and bloody skirmishes in which millions of ordinary people died, they lasted for decades, but not one side won.

The Runum Empire outnumbered Vern in the number of low-level warriors, but lost in quality. This did not give either side a victory, but in one of the large-scale battles, which was led by William Werner the ninth, a genius, who at the age of 17 became the highest man. The Runum Empire, knowing how much Vern protects the true heirs to the throne, decided to capture the only heir of the Werner family and then threatening William with death to force the city to capitulate.

Many of the highest echelons of the empire participated in the capture, and even the Emperor Achel II himself, who reached the demigod. During the battle, protecting and covering William's retreats, sacrificing themselves, many members of the Eternal Guard and high-ranking soldiers died. In this battle, the empire also lost many generals and high aristocrats, it was a strong blow to its combat power, but thanks to this sacrifice and the presence of the emperor, they wounded and captured William.

Unfortunately, the "happiness" from the capture did not last long and half an hour later all the surviving troops felt a wave of dense rashu descend on the battlefield, forcing everyone to collapse to the ground. Even Achel II himself, who was in the tent next to the unconscious William, was no exception, and kneeling down, his face turned pale, and horror was visible in his eyes.

A moment later, a strong gust of wind blew the tent away, opening Ahel's view of the blue sky and hovering in the air with a black silhouette. Seeing the silhouette, Ahulu's heart trembled and he, ignoring the remaining subjects, spread the rashu over his body and leaving an afterimage disappeared, trying to escape. A second later, the afterimage disappeared, and several pops of the sound barrier were heard in the area.

The silhouette in the sky, not paying attention to the escape, stretched out his hand in a strange way pulled the unconscious William to himself. After examining the wounds on his body, the silhouette directed rashu to them and instantly cured. After patting William on the head, he lowered him to the ground where several people in black light armor and with pointed black masks on their faces were standing. Carefully accepting the teenager flying towards them, they put their palm on their mask, saluted, then turned around and, releasing rashu around them, disappeared soundlessly.

A few minutes later, the silhouette looked at the hundred thousand troops that had fallen to the ground, on whose faces there was a grimace of horror and despair. Sighing, the silhouette stretched out his hand in which the white hilt of the sword was clenched, in an instant a translucent wind blade burst out of it.

Having formed a wind maple, the silhouette froze for a moment and made a light wave. At this moment, in the hearts of all the warriors, a black-and-white picture of their lives jumps up. Some have seen their mistakes, which they will not be able to meet now, others have seen their grievous mistakes, which they will not be able to correct now.

The visible black-and-white pictures quickly ended and people saw only white light in front of their eyes, from which they wanted to close their eyes.

At the same moment, an incredible wave of compressed air spread for hundreds of kilometers, turning everything in its path into tiny pieces and covering it with a cloud of dust. The dust, having settled, revealed an empty surface with no signs of life. At the place where the army was previously located, there was a crater tens of kilometers in size. In trouble, people who knew what happened here will call this place "a field on blood."

At this, the actions of the mysterious silhouette did not stop and disappeared after the blow he struck, he headed towards the capital of the empire Runum. An hour later, his silhouette appeared above a grandiosely large city that stretched for hundreds of kilometers and was full of people.

After examining the city, the silhouette took out another strange object of spherical shape, with a gray smooth surface. Having poured into it an abundant amount of rush, the yellow energy enveloped the ball, after which an invisible wave spread from the ball throughout the city.

After a few minutes, the ball stopped glowing and the silhouette removed it and took out the hilt of the sword, sending a wind rashu into rashu. Once again casting a glance at the city, the silhouette lightly waved the maple.

At the same moment, thousands of high-ranking officials of the empire and their loved ones began to drop dead one after another, and on their dead bodies in the neck area, thin, neat cuts were visible. After finishing the second mass murder, the silhouette disappeared into thin air.

A few days later, information about the complete destruction of high-ranking officials of the Runum Empire spread throughout the mainland. After studying all the information received, most came to the conclusion that the city state of Vern is responsible for this. This news scared them and made Verne a dark place on the map that could not be touched.
