Behind the scenes

As she exited the house and walked through the city, an unsettling feeling emerged in Selena's heart, as she occasionally stared at the skeletons that became more and more frequent the deeper she traveled into the city.

At the same time, every single house that she had traveled to was littered with skeletons of mages demons and angels.

"Was every single resident of this city a mage?" mumbled Selena as unconsciously turned left, heading a particular side path, off from the main road.

Suddenly, Selena stopped, just as she was about to walk on this path, as the reason for that feeling of similarity suddenly became clear in her mind.

"The layout of this city is far too similar to that of the Shadow Monastery," mumbled Selena as a somewhat horrified expression appeared on her face, causing her to suddenly change directions, and begin walking towards a particular place.

Merely a moment later, Selena rose from the ground, and began flying through the city at a rapid speed, eventually reaching a certain, rather normal house.

A fraction of a second later, Selena had already arrived inside of the house, a horrified expression appearing on her face as she stared at a certain door, slightly shaking.

Just as Selena was about to desperately flee this place, she suddenly sensed something weird, causing her to suddenly stop in her tracks and turn back towards the door.

After a few moments of hesitation, Selena stretched out her hand towards the handle of the door, slowly but surely opening it, revealing what was inside.

Staring at the boundless world before her, which was completely desolate, Selena's eyes couldn't help but widen, especially as she felt the spatial instability of this place, which scared Selena quite a bit.

After a few minutes, the fear in Selena's heart slowly but surely dissipated, being replaced by boundless curiosity.

Even though it had been abandoned for hundreds of thoughts of years, as she stared at the world in front of her, Selena couldn't help but feel a sense of awe

"Using a entire world to power a flying city," mumbled Selena, all of the pieces suddenly fitting together very neatly inside of her mind.

But as she thought about the being that she had seen being held in the depths of the Shadow Monastery, Selena's eyes couldn't help but flicker.

At the same time, the huge Mage Tower at the centre of the city entered Selena's mind, that tower was far larger than what an Archmage could realistically control.

When she first saw it, Selena had quickly denied the possibility of that tower being inhabited by an actual Legendary Mage, but as she stared at the world before her, thoughts couldn't help but swirl in her mind.

...

Suddenly Harvey Solovan opened his eyes, and the first thing he did upon opening them was staring where his uncle had been just the night before.

Merely a moment later, Harvey realized that the barrier separating the cave from the outside world suddenly disappeared, but although he was very curious, a few seconds later, Harvey began running in the opposite direction.

'If uncle is fine he will surely find m-,'

Before Harvey could finish his thought, all of his limbs were suddenly severed from his body, but before his body could fall to the ground, it also disappeared, leaving nothing behind.

A few moments after that, the world seemingly began shifting, as the cave entrance he Harvey had just camped nearby to began disappearing.

In merely a few minutes, all traces of anyone even being here had been completely destroyed, leaving nothing but a normal rock wall behind

At this time, nobody was aware of what was brewing inside of seemingly ordinary rock wall.

...

At that very moment, inside of the Magic Council, the eyes of the prophet suddenly popped open, revealing a tense look.

Without any hesitation, the prophet suddenly closed his eyes back again, but unlike before, merely a few minutes after that, the hair of the prophet slowly began turning white as sweat dripped on his forehead.

At the same time, an old man suddenly appeared next to the prophet, Archmage Arif, the most powerful mage in the entire continent.

As he looked at the prophet, a tense look also appeared on Archmage Arif's face, though thankfully, after several more minutes, the white hair of the prophet began turning black once again as he opened his eyes.

"Did something happen?" asked Arif as he suddenly took a potion from his robe, handing it to the prophet.

"Something did happen, but it looks like it won't do too much harm to the world, at least for the next hundred years," said the Prophet as he took the potion before immediately drinking it.

Hearing that, Arif couldn't help but fall into thought.

"We need to convene a meeting, we can't take any risks right now, at least not until the World Will recovers," said Arif as he looked at the prophet with a serious expression on his face, before flying away.

Hearing that, the prophet nodded before staring at Arif's departing back.

After a few moments of standing around, all alone, the prophet let out a sigh, feeling quite conflicted as he thought about another part of his prophecy.

"It probably won't try to interfere, but even so, I need to make some preparations," mumbled the prophet as a certain thing suddenly popped up in his mind.

Although he did not take action, only protecting the Magic Continent from harm, if the Reincarnation Space really tried to interfere, the Prophet still had some cards up his sleeve that he had not yet shown.

In fact, even if everyone, including Archmage Arif betrayed him without warning, and without a prophecy warning him, the Prophet still was confident he could still protect the World Will.

"Hopefully things don't go that far," mumbled the prophet as the last of his white hairs slowly but surely were replaced by new and fresh black hair.
