Prologue

In a world known as Auria

Perspective of Smith Doria, Royal Messenger of Agnes.

I was entering the palace hall after receiving a summons from my all-powerful king. I walked slowly but with firm steps, for my position as a royal messenger was well-deserved. Through my talent, I had risen from a commoner to a low noble solely through my deeds and training.

Entering the king's hall, I was immediately announced, "SMITH DORIA, ROYAL MESSENGER OF YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS!" I bowed and kneeled in the presence of the all-powerful Darius Agnes II. "Smith Doria, Viscount of Kaster, humbly praises your majesty." "Good. You may rise. I have summoned you here with a task of greater importance. Tell the newlyweds, Duchess Isalia Felix and Duke Noah Rose, that their king has decided to grant their wishes. However, they must complete one final task before they can temporarily leave to raise their child. They must destroy the first army of the Kingdom of Koran, the kingdom we are constantly at war with, and deal them a deep blow so they will not trouble me again." "Yes, your majesty. I will immediately relay your words." I stood up, bowed again, and used a spell of my own creation from my affinity with the wind, as an invisible magic circle appeared beneath me, and I was decomposed into a gust of hot air.

Another magic circle appeared in front of Lord Rose's house, and I was reformed from my wind mana, announcing, "Royal Messenger of the Kingdom of Agnes, Smith Doria, brings news from your majesty! Open the gate!" Naturally, with my authority, the gate was opened, and I was immediately directed to a meeting hall, where I was served snacks and refreshments while waiting for my hosts to arrive. "Forgive the delay, Lord Smith, we were deciding an important matter regarding our unborn child." Said the most beautiful man I had ever seen, even though he was a man, I could not look away for a few seconds. He had a sharp jawline, crystal blue eyes like pieces of sapphire, short pale pink hair, a characteristic of the Rose family, with a well-defined body that was large but lean. His charm was devilishly charming. He was approximately 1.80m tall and was dressed in a simple white shirt with crimson lines and pants of the same color and pattern. "No problem, Lord Rose." I said, turning my gaze only to look at the beauty next to him. With her bulging belly, my mind went blank for almost a minute. She had long flaming hair, a pearl-white skin that seemed free of imperfections, a healthy pale, and her crimson red eyes looked at me as if they saw the depths of my soul, and given her power, I could be certain. Her face had an oval dimension bordering on perfection. She had ample breasts but not huge, a balanced beauty indeed, I thought. When I came to myself, I realized I had been staring for too this process since His Majesty personally entrusted me with this task." I waited for about 15 more minutes as both Ducal class nobles prepared for battle. I wondered how powerful Lady Felix would become since she was pregnant, which granted her an immense increase in strength considering the baby's talent. Additionally, I found myself thinking about how powerful a 7th order of power in the mortal kingdom goes from 1st to 9th. The first class already has enough power to fight against 20 unorganized men and defeat them with some difficulty. In the third class, one could probably defeat an entire army of unclassed soldiers alone. In the sixth class, it would already be possible to destroy a kingdom alone. I myself am currently a 5th class existence, and my class is "Herald of the Silent Gale," a rare class, I must say. But I dare not compare myself to Lady Felix. Besides being a 7th order existence, she has a special class: "Archmage of the Elemental Order" and a strong affinity with the Order element. She can find the perfect balance between opposing elements. What's worse, she has five affinities! In addition to the Order itself, she has an affinity with light, darkness, fire, and ice. And yet, although she is an archmage, she is not defenseless in close combat.

As soon as I snapped out of my thoughts, I found myself standing on a bright white circle, and we were disintegrated into particles of light and teleported to the nearest military camp on the border.

Due to the magic matrix that covers each kingdom and that only their respective nobles and associates have access to, you cannot teleport to a kingdom to which you do not have access, as we just did.

As soon as we appeared near the camp, we entered the leader's tent, and I announced the Duchess's task beside me. "The king ordered the destruction of the first army of the Koran kingdom. I will leave the details of the strategy to you, sirs." After that, Commander Everon, responsible for this camp and most of the military force of the kingdom, expressed his thoughts. "The first army of the Koran kingdom is mainly composed of beings from the first to the 3rd order at most. However, they are heavily equipped with enchanted armor, and everyone from the rank of lieutenant and above has life-saving items that allow them to escape death once. According to our intelligence, they are under strong matrices capable of negating the power of a 7th order attack at full power. Normally, attacking with such power alone would be quite advantageous, as it would weaken their defenses, deplete their high-rank mana stones, and exhaust their mages who sustain the matrix. However, due to His Majesty's order, we must completely destroy the first enemy army. I propose a unique spell approach by Lady Felix, where she uses all her magical power to destroy the barrier, and Lord Rose can take advantage of that to cause chaos in the enemy ranks." Lady Felix objected: "Even with the power of pregnancy, it's not so easy to break a matrix of such power. It's uncertain if the matrix will break with my spell, and after that, I'll be exhausted, and they will be alert to such attacks. What I propose is to use 3 rank 6 mana stones and cast a continuous spell on their barriers, thus sealing their fates." Lord Rose attested: "Indeed, this may be the most accurate approach, but it will also alert the enemy and consume precious resources like rank 6 mana stones. Instead, I propose using a battalion of mages as mana sources and suppliers. Additionally, their elemental affinities can enter your spell, and if you use the attribute of Order, you can balance them all, generating a spell larger than the original. Not only would it be more powerful, but it wouldn't consume mana stones." "Yes, but how can we mobilize so many mages without alerting the enemy intelligence?" the commander countered. "They don't need to be the Commander retorted, "they don't need to be many. Only powerful and qualified mages. Lord Smith, inform Her Majesty that I request the aid of Princess Selena, Princess Helena, Prince Luther, and Her Majesty Queen Luna. Inform him of our plan and ask for approval."

I bowed slightly and immediately used the same spell I created to appear again in front of the doors of Her Majesty's hall. I went through the entire etiquette process again and told her about the plan and Lady Felix's requirements. "Very well. I approve." When Her Majesty said this, a handsome young man with relatively long black hair, purple eyes, and royal attire appeared. Three women also appeared, all very similar. The only difference between one and the other two was that one looked older and exuded a more powerful aura. It was our queen, Her Majesty Luna, who had beautiful petrol-blue hair like a starless night, jade-green eyes, and a well-built body. The two women around her were identical twins, Princesses Selena and Helena, who were identical, with the same hair color as their mother, the same eyes, just slightly shorter, and with identical but contrasting clothes.

I bowed to all of them, and we teleported through Queen Luna's moon magic. We appeared in the same place where I left, probably taken from my own thoughts. That was how terrifying moon magic was. With everyone already knowing their respective roles, I watched as they formed a pentagram formation with Lady Felix in the middle and the other five around her. One by one, they activated their True Elemental Nature. Lord Rose's armor was a gala suit, a shiny blood-red suit, phoenix wings on his thighs with a fire as red as blood, a white shirt inside the suit, and a crown of orange feathers appeared on his head. Queen Luna gained a beautiful silver dress, pure white crystal heels, a silver crown that levitated on her head, and two pairs of bright white energy wings. Prince Luther gained a shiny deep blue mantle that moved like water but was much darker. His element was the Abyss. He also gained a crown, as if horns were born on his head, and instead of wings, he gained tentacles as if they came from the depths of his soul. His pants were even darker than his cloak, and his shoes were pointed and jet black. Princess Helena gained a black dress like darkness, almost revealing, but hiding everything well, long bat wings made of shadows, a black tail with a tip at the end, and a purple crown that rested softly on her petrol-blue hair. Along with heels similar to black vines that wrapped around her feet. Selena, on the other hand, gained a very conservative but beautiful golden dress that shines more than light itself. With a light crown and a beautiful pair of golden angel wings, her feet were bare and radiant. Finally, Lady Felix also activated her True Elemental Nature. She gained a beautiful and long dress with a cut for the legs. Her dress appeared to be constructed from blades, as it varied from left to right, first coming in a shiny gold, then an icy blue, then an endless darkness, just before a flaming red. It didn't look out of place because the colors moved as if they were liquids. She had four wings, each with one of her elements, and a partially transparent halo representing her order element. And a wide crown with a gem of each element encrusted on its surface with a crystal clear center.

Everyone channeled their power to Lady Felix, and I saw a beautiful matrix appear. A multicolored magic circle appeared below them, and multiple magic circles appeared below them. Then a huge magic circle appeared over the enemy army, and all of them simultaneously unleashed their magic on the circle. In the matrix, they began to spin with multiple elements where enormous flows of mana joined together and formed a barrier over the army and the defensive matrix used by the Koran kingdom.

As the spell was activated, a huge explosion of mana from each element emerged and began to corrode the enemy's magical defense matrix with great force. Thus, a complex spell began its second stage and launched different waves of attacks from the present elements.

BANG

The huge enemy matrix was partially destroyed, and soon waves of mana began to burn, freeze, disintegrate, and consume the 1st enemy army.

"Phew," Lady Félix sighed after completing her job, and everyone was exhausted although the matrix was still active. I saw everyone disappear in a second after that and returned to the king to report before ending my day.
