Chapter 111: No Aura and 15 Kings - Flame Emperor

Everyone found it ridiculous.

They knew that they are hiding their powers but it exceeded their expectations.

Several people are deducting that they are using 25 to 50% of their power but to think that it is lesser than that.

Regulus felt his heart shatter.

He knew that they can't win against them but they hoped that someone can defeat them... Now, that hope is also gone now that it is impossible to win against them.

Not in an infinity chance.

All players realized how weak they are in front of the [Silent Guild]

They are just a frog in a well or an ant that fought with a human.

It is a significant difference for their guild and for normal players.

The [United Guild Alliance] started to think that they are not worthy of inviting them but then suddenly, Xavier's voice told Regulus, "Our motto is to "take every challenge and force your way towards your future". We also have the motto of the kings-- "Ally is ally and enemy is enemy. Once an ally needs help we'll answer and once the enemy is in our territory, we attack". That is why [Tempest Prince] is kind of brutal because he looked at you as an enemy, not a sparring partner..."

That is when everyone said to themselves, "Never fight with this guild and become an ally instead"

But Xavier suddenly continued, "But we just don't find allies nor enemies randomly, we are looking into their background first before going into action.

Remember the [Sanctuary Guild]? They are evil and [Ice Prince]'s brother got bullied in that guild, that is why the [Ice Prince] and [Fire Prince] destroyed that guild.

How about the [Electrofrost]? They are the people who use the money to bribe anyone and then use the name of the underworld to do some bad stuff. That is also why we immediately agreed on the war they declared because we are already aware of the evil guilds that we know.

But you know, we haven't attacked them because they didn't do anything to us nor to the public...

That is how we think.

Now that someone challenges us, we accept it! Definitely! Because we also want to find how strong are the other players because we are always doing some stuff..." Xavier said as he sighed.

"T-then, how strong are we?" Regulus is holding his breath as he is waiting for a response.

Xavier is kind of troubled about how he should say his overall evaluation...

"Well, We are quite surprised that there are other people who can force [Fire Dragon] to use his special skill, use the [Light Stutter] of the [Sword Saint], and a lot of other more. I can say that you are strong enough but still far away from our level...

Well, we also covered our weaknesses so we became curious about how you guys are dealing with us and we are quite happy that you have a lot of magic knowledge.

Especially the Life against death element, or the duel against [Undying Poirot], we are impressed you know?" Xavier said as he chuckled.

Everyone looked at Regulus and gaze at him with their eyes full of admiration.

'He already planned this, huh? He knows that it might destroy their reputation by fighting us so instead, you complimented them...' Theo smiled inwardly as he is looking at his leader.

"Now that you said your prowess, we won't fight anymore--I surrender," Regulus said as he bowed his head 45 degrees towards Xavier.

Loud applause and cheers erupted in the area. Even the fairies also joined the cheering.

Everyone is like having a party on the battlefield.

Every king was moved by their cheers and praise.

***

And just like that, we are forced to log out several minutes later...

"Wahh~ The battle is kind of fun~," Theo said as he gets out of the game capsule and felt that there is something wrong.

'Is it just me or is this a dream?' He thought as he started sitting down in a lotus position and started meditating.

'Oh no!' He is frightened of what he just felt.

The whole cultivation world, including the use of qi, chakra, spiritualities, or aura are shocked.

"Wh-why is there no aura anymore?" As the Earth--no, the whole solar system changed, the aura is getting devoured by the atmosphere and it caused an intense problem for all of the cultivators.

"Wait--but this feeling..." Theo felt that the aura in the air is nothing but air but there is still an energy that he can feel.

'Is this mana? J-just what is going on?' He can't keep up with the events.

First, the aura disappeared.

Second, the mana in the air completely replaced the aura.

'The game is just getting exciting but the aura in this planet disappeared!' He frowned as he went outside.

"Young master-- Your father wants to talk to you and young master Blake..." Theo felt a hint of doubt. He certainly knows that he already knows that there are assassins or part of an underworld in the household which he prohibited for a very long time.

"Okay--I'll come later..." Theo responds as his holographic phone suddenly ringed.

'A call?' He said as he pressed the answer button.

"U-um... Zero, we need your help here... Uno can also help with this matter," FBI agent Cameron said.

"Hmm? Need my help? Why? The FBI never asked for my help..." Theo said in suspicion.

"We need you to research about the energy and phenomena that change the world..." Cameron said as he took a paper and showed Theo the charts of the wave, energy, and gravitational changes in the planet.

'This amount is insane--no, the correct term must be astronomical...' He thought as he is looking at the charts that insanely changed in just the whole midnight.

"That is weird--I know but what do you mean by the phenomena?" Theo thought as he is started walking to the hallway and looked outside the window...

'What the fuck! There is supposed to be no stormy day at this time!' Theo thought as he immediately rushed back to his room and opened his Linux.

"The world is changing..." He is speechless on what is happening.

The countries near the equator experience winter at this time, the water in New Zealand is cleared, you can clearly see the massive landform of this continent named Zealandia. 12 states in the United States including Massachusetts experienced a storm but it was never detected by meteorologists.

'Not just the atmosphere but the whole logic about the seasons, the wave of light and a lot of other more... Just what happened while we are playing inside the game?' Theo thought as he heard the consecutive "Hello" of Cameron on his holographic phone.

"I'm sorry, I got in spaced out a little bit... As for the help request, we'll accept and study the current abnormality on Earth...." Theo said as he clasped his hands together and started to think.

'Is this somehow the same thing that I am thinking? Based on my past life's memory, the only thing that can do this kind of thing are the primordial gods. The normal gods can't do such a thing in the world... If this mana is connected to the changes of the world--it is definitely a work of a god,' He thought as he still finds it ridiculous.

"I just woke up--I felt the aura disappeared and it gets replaced with mana, suddenly father also told me to meet him, the FBI is seeking for help and the world completely changes..." He leaned on his chair.

"Is still the world I know?" He asked himself as he averted his gaze towards the game capsule of [Olympus]

"The main quest is coming soon--and it is ongoing on a [Preparation Phase]... Is that a coincidence?" He thought as he opened the capsule and looked into several colors floating inside the game capsule.

"I definitely know that this is mana--if the game and the Earth are connected--how come we can find a scientific hypothesis and conclusion? I can't think of any machine or technology that connects the planet to a game..." He frowned as he keeps thinking of many possibilities.

"Even without aura, I can still use magic using the mana that is connected to a planet, star, or the mana that is currently surrounding me..." He muttered.

"Is there magic that boosts intelligence?" He said as he felt a little bit hopeless about the situation. He doesn't know any magic like that since the magic list (memories) that his past life carved into his mind is incomplete.

He is also anxious about what his father going to ask... His innate ability, [Ultra Instincts] is telling him that it is something terrifying...

'Gods--just what are you planning?' Theo stared at the dark sky and narrowed his eyes.

'This might just be a challenge for humanity...' He said as he closed his eyes and suddenly lost his consciousness.

...

As time goes by, not just the weather, season, and elements are changing. The animals and plants are also going to grow slowly.

With this problem, can Theo find out what is happening on the Earth's peaceful life?

...

With this, the real beginning of Theo's tragic fate will commence. With his real responsibility, can he save the world from the upcoming danger?

Note: I plan to remake this story.

I am too lazy to update and read them all so I'll just remake them xD

The name is still the same, the mc, plot, and the characters are still the same^^

I'll just make this novel easier to read and understand since while I am looking back at the chapters I updated two months ago, I noticed that there are tons of grammatical errors...

Plus, I plan to make the remake version of this story shorter^^

So volume two will be released on the remake version of this novel^^

Thank you for reading^^
