Preparation

|3rd POV|

"What do you mean they will not send their troops?!?"

Eveline looked at Richard, who had a cold anger expression on his face. She knows that the southern people are a bastard, but she never thought they would leave them to face the S-rank monster alone.

"Sadly, it is true, my lady."

"Are you really sure?"

"Yes. The news from the princess saying that the king will not send the troops up north is true. My shadow that is stationed in the capital city says that the king gives an ultimatum to all the nobles except the north to gather all their soldiers in the capital city. If they do not do what the king says, they will be branded as a traitor, and he will take all their titles away from them, and he will sell them to the slaver."

Evaline leans back on the chair and gives a frustrated sigh. She then looked at the projection in front of her with a sad expression. All of the northern lords have gathered in one place and are ready to fight against the S-rank monster.

However, when the other lord arrives at the location, her son leads a few hundred men to defeat the A-rank monster coming from the sea. Because she did not control the magic spell, she didn't know her son and her good daughter's situation.

She knows that his son and her good daughter will come back victorious, but it is a mother's duty to worry about her son.

A stream of supply keeps being sent to the battlefield. The people here are also busy fighting the incoming monster. However, unlike the other place, Sea Dragon city's location is far enough from the monster migration path.

Sea Dragon City is located on the cliff where the sea monster cannot attack them directly from the sea. They only need to defend from the front as their back is secured. Lucas and Rovul are the ones that command the troops and defend the city protecting the people inside.

The villagers around the city have been evacuated. While they cannot rescue all of them, most of the villagers have been secured inside the city. Because of the increasing population inside the city, Evaline needs to order Richard to use the emergency potion her son crafted a few months before.

This potion has a function to increase any plant growth and also increase the yield of said plants.

Evaline uses the potion to inner farmland, where it becomes the main food source for the city's people.

"Big Brother!"

Evaline snaps from her thoughts when she hears Ginerva calling her big brother. Her eyes land on the projection in front of her and see her son and good daughter arrive on the battlefield. However, instead of coming with his men, both Isaac and Lucina only come alone.

"Isaac! Lucina!"

Lomun says when he sees both Lucina arrive on the battlefield. He checks both Isaac and Lucina from their head to their toes.

"It is good to see you back. How is the situation in the sea?"

Isaac looks at Lomun before saying.

"We successfully kill the monster. However, I decided to leave the soldier there to defend the area."

"Huh, why?"

"There is a dungeon there."

"What?!?"

"Yes. The reason why we keep having a monster coming from our back is that there is a dungeon near the sea."

"Dammit. That means more than two thousand monsters are coming from our back. Do you think a few hundred men can handle a few thousand monsters?"

"Yes, if they don't have any help. I place my summon there to help them."

"Summon?"

Evaline looks at her son with confusion before he takes a deep breath, and she sees his forehead shine a little. A second later, a creature appeared behind her son. It was a four-legged creature wearing full body armor and wielding a lance in its hand. There are also ten of them.

"SO COOL!"

Ginerva looked at the creature her brother summoned with a star in her eyes. It is the first time she sees her brother summon something. She knows that her brother is a magician, but she has never seen a summoning spell before.

She now put her brother from the 'Bestest Most Awesome Brother' to 'Bestest Super Awesome Big Brother!'.

Eveline, on the other hand, releases a sigh of relief. Now, she knows that her son will come back to her safe and sound. A summoner is known to be a one-man army, and right now, her son has more than ten creatures assisting him in battle.

Eveline hopes that the people in the capital watch this and see that even without their help, the north will survive.

|Elizabeth Vulux POV|

Yes…. Feel the pain I feel. Feel the consequences of your stupidity. My father, after seeing what Isaac can do, began to panic. He begins to mutter something about how the northern should not have that kind of power, and it should be his family, the one having that kind of power.

"Is…. Is summoning magic weak magic?"

My father asks the magician in the room, still denying that the people in the north have that kind of power in their hands. However, instead of getting an answer, my father is scolded by one of the magicians.

"Weak? WEAK?!? Summoning five creatures can be considered a Grandmaster Magician! Controlling more than ten creatures and having absolute control over them even when the creature is far away can be considered a High-Ranking Arch-Mage!"

Yes, make him feel the pain I feel. Snap him from his delusional grandeur. Make him think that his title as a king did not make him the most powerful individual in the kingdom.

"That man will have the position of Star Mage in the Tower if he decides to join us. Not only summoning magic, that man also has other kinds of magic as well. Healing? He has it. Destruction magic? He has many. Now he has summoning magic. From the magic side alone, he can be considered a one-man-army, but he also has a martial might that makes others die in jealousy."

Finally! Finally, someone other than me that can see that Isaac is a bullshit character. I ignore my father making a fool of himself and look at the projection in front of me. I can see Isaac Lionheart and his wife sitting down on the chair where the rest of the Northern Lord gather and discuss how to counter all the enemy.

"Good morning, my lord. Do we know the spawning time of the monster?"

It was Lord Macgrath that answered his question.

"Yes, we do, Isaac. They spawn three times in one day. It will be spawning one thousand monsters ranging from C+ monster to B+ monster. There is no sight of the birth of A-class monster from absorbing all the Chaos Energy in the air."

"Meaning that they will be born alongside the S-rank monster or they will be born not too long before the birth of the S-class monster."

"Yes."

The first option is really bad. If the A-class monster is born simultaneously as the S class is born, they need to fight against two or three A-class monsters alongside the S-rank monster. The other option is also bad.

If the A-class monster is born a day before the S-class, then the defender will be exhausted and not ready to fight the S-class monster. I snap from my thoughts when I hear Isaac say something.

"Please tell me the monster spawn cycle."

This time it was one of the captains that stood nearby.

"The next wave will happen in an hour. The second one will be in the noon, and the last one will be in the evening just before the sun setting."

"Then we have enough time to set some traps."

Lord Duchamp, Isaac Lionheart's grandfather, looked at his grandson before saying.

"Traps?"

"Yes. Here look at this."

Isaac takes out some stone from his pocket and shows it to the other lord. The stone is ordinary, but there is some symbol carved on the stone surface.

"This is a rune stone. This will be our weapon."

Isaac throws the stone high into the air, and suddenly it shines brightly and explodes. The other lord looked at it with a shocked expression, and not only the people there that have a shocked expression. The magician in the war room also has a shocked expression as well.

One of them even shouted.

"What?!? That is impossible!"

I look at the magician and say.

"If you don't mind me asking, why is it impossible?"

While I know from the game that the magician can only use Runic magic to enchant your weapon and armor or create a barrier, I don't know why the magician cannot use the rune to be offensive.

"We can only use Runic magic for a defensive purpose! The nature of Runic magic is to protect and to support, not to attack! The runic magic…."

I ignore the magician, then begin to ramble about the Runic magic history and look at the projection and see Lord Duchamp holding the runestone with his hand before saying.

"Isaac, what is this symbol?"

"That is called Anzus."

"Anzus?"

"Anzus is the symbol of the first gift the gods give to the living being. The first gift the gods give to us is Fire. By using this symbol, I borrow the first gift the gods give to the living being. Not only that, but this symbol also has another meaning. It can also mean Gods or Energy and…"

"Stop"

Lord Duchamp decides to stop Isaac, who begins rambling. When Lord Duchamp stops Isaac from explaining the rune's meaning, I can hear the disappointed voice from the magician.

"You can tell the rest of them when we are finished here. Tell us what to do to make this trap of yours."

"Collect as much stone as you can. The stone cannot be more than my fist's size, but it can be smaller than my fist. However, It cannot be too small."

"Good. I will order some men to gather as much stone as they can. You can carve the rune in the tent."

"Huh? Not here?"

"No…."

Lord Duchamp looked right at us for a few seconds before saying.

"I don't want a peeping bastard to know about your way of magic."

Damn you, old man! I want to learn that magic!
