Ep. 5

On the coast of Danhenierm,

"Lord Ganodron, the mountains east of Halderan has fully vanished. With Halderan's open side, they will be easily attacked by demons and bandits. That means their military strength will be weakened. Will we take this as an opportunity to attack them?" Said the general.

"Yes. We will take this opportunity. But we shall not move so easily. With their current strength, we will still not win." Ganodron replied

"If that's the case, what's your orders Milord?" The general asked.

"We must destroy their weakened areas first." Ganodron replied.

The City of Norhad, one of the major enemies of the city on the East;

"King Bulmein, if Halderan City is attacked, we can fully conquer Halderan! It's our chance!" Shouted the Elder.

The whole council agreed on what the Elder said.

"Still, we need to be careful. Even if Halderan City is attacked by demons, the city won't really feel that they're being attacked. With Lizier and their greatest mages, they can easily defeat a demon tribe. Also, even if Lizier and the mages is defeated by the demons, they will still have an ace with them that neither of us can handle. The Academy." Bulmein said.

The Academy is one of the oldest structures that is still standing in Zancrum. Said to be built by the finest mages of the Late Valierian Era, it can withstand an attack from an Abyssal Demon, very different from a normal demon, Abyssal Demons have the power in par to the King Rank of Humans. Also, inside The Academy has one of the stones that came from the skies and one of the most powerful; The Eternium. It's a stone that is made by someone more superior than that of the gods. It has an unstoppable force that makes the Academy so protected and also the main district of Halderan, Hermes.

"With the Great Academy still standing, we couldn't do anything yet!" Shouted Bulmein.

"With the level of their military, we still have no match! Who knows? They maybe are siding with someone powerful now?" Bulmein said.

The whole council then agreed.

The Village of Ciarma,

Morning sun hit the eyes of Ray as his mother opened the windows.

"Wake up Ray. Eat. After we eat, let's talk." Henetia said seriously.

"Okay mother." Ray replied.

He stood up and ate his lunch. After that, Henetia called out for him outside.

"Come outside Ray."

"Going mother!" Ray replied.

As Ray go outside, he saw a wide, plain, grassy fields. Ray was amazed. But he felt a little bit off. Something is not right. Then he realized that they were transported somewhere.

"Ray, do you know where we are?" Henetia asked. Then Ray replied.

"No mother. Where are we anyway?" Ray asked Henetia.

"We are in Heterian Plains. Do you know this plains? If you have already studied the adventures of Elder Lizier, you should know." Henetia said.

"Yes I have heard of the Heterian Plains." Ray replied.

"Then, tell me what you know about it." Henetia said. Ray then answered Henetia saying,

"Long time ago, the god Valier was here. He enchanted this plains to have an extremely great amount of power. It is also said that Valier's cultivation area is here. But because of that, this place was limited to people so it is rare for us to see it. But Elder Lizier managed to enter it accidentally. And that's how Halderan discovered this plain."

"Hah. I've heard this news from some folk but I didn't imagine it was this... Wrong." Henetia replied back.

"What are you saying mother? It is not wrong. All of it came from Elder Lizier's mouth! How can you say such things? He's the most powerful person here in Halderan and also the most intelligent! How can he be wrong" Ray said.

"You've been blinded by your beliefs Ray. You still don't know anything. If Lizier is making you believe this kind of things, I would've thrown him into the Abyss!" Henetia shouted. Ray then still insisted on his beliefs that Lizier isn't wrong.

"Mother, I've heard from Uncle Huegyen how fast your cultivation is. But still, Uncle is stronger than you but he can't win against Elder Lizier, so how can you accomplish such impossible things"

Henetia was furious. She shouted at Ray saying, "How can a mere human possibly win against me! Did you see your uncle fight Lizier? Tell me! How can a god lose to some human trash!"

Ray was shocked. It was the first time he ever heard his mother shout. And he also heard from his mother something he cannot understand.

"W-what?" Ray said. "Who's the god? Elder Lizier isn't a god? Are you a god?" Ray asked Henetia.

Then a door opened. It was Huegyen.

"Your mother is a goddess. Someone Lizier cannot touch." Huegyen said.
