Just as both Azumi and Alfin step into the library, they smell something, and in disbelief, they both shout

""what happen!?"" [Alfin, Azumi]

"Princess, we don't know, literally a few second ago, the book that you ask us to collect was spontaneous combust!" [Librarian]

""WHAT, ARE YOU SERIOUS!?"" [Alfin, Azumi]

They are in a state of disbelief, as of now their knowledge of Ishmelga is nothing more than what the common folk know, the fact that ishmelga is one of the 7 gods and he is the darkness god represent the element of time

"this really is a bad omen" [Alfin]

"should i just force it out from any top brass of the church" [Azumi]

" don't, it will create more trouble and i doubt they will be willing to say anything" [Alfin]

"Tchh, if only they are not that secretive about the 7 gods" [Azumi]

nonetheless, they are currently in bind, with Alfin having a prophecy about Ishmelga awakening in her dream, she ask the scholar to gather the book containing info about the battle of the god, 1300 before time

most of the people Alfin spoke of doesn't believe in her word, but she knew she have to take some action. just like her father, even she hope that this is all just one big speculation, but seeing that the book spontaneously combust make it even harder to believe it was just a speculation

"for now, let us meet the scholar that are helping you" [Azumi]

"yes, and Mr librarian, can you please guide us to their room" [Alfin]

"it will be my pleasure your highness" [Librarian]

for now, other librarian is tending to the ash of the book, they themselves are still in the state of disbelief, while the librarian that greet both princess and her guard are anxiously guide them to a meeting room in the back

"both of you, stop right now" [Azumi]

Azumi raised his voice as he approach the meeting room, suprise by his voice, both of them freeze on the spot

"im going ahead, both of you stay here, and if anything happen run" [Azumi]

without looking at their reaction, Azumi dash to the room, it might be faint but he can smell blood and his mana perception tell him that there are some monster inside, and those monster mana almost resemble a raja, he also felt some sort of barrier being place around the room, causing other to ignore this room, which raise a question, why the librarian can show him this room when such barrier is erected

he look back and found out that only Alfin remain there

"where is that person beside you just now?" [Azumi]

Alfin seem to be dumbfounded by the question, nevertheless, she herself suprised when the librarian was nowhere to be seen eventhough he was there a moment ago

"tchh, Alfin, i'll send you to the castle first, I don't know why but there seem to be a presence of raja inside that room, plus a barrier was put around that room" [Azumi]

"What, are you serio..." [Alfin]

Just as she was about to finish her sentence, the door of the meeting room was sent flying toward Azumi reaction

in a split second, Azumi use a wind magic to decelerate the flying door, and the door are currently floating in mid-air

"hmmph, how pathetic, here a delivery for you" [Azumi]

with a gush of magic wind supported by time element magic, he sent the wooden door right back at the raja, the raja uses his shield to block the incoming impact

"this is strange..." [Azumi]

he is in the state of confusion, this creature have a mana almost closely resemble a raja, a raja is a mutated monster that will be born once a year only during one of this month, the 5th month of darkness, the 10th month of nothingness and the end month, the 12th

"Azumi, why is there a orc raja here, plus, he seem to be fully equipped, as if someone or something gave the equipment to him" [Alfin]

"who know, more importantly, stay behind me and don't allow any non combatant to come near this area" [Azumi]

"i should go and ask for help" [Alfin]

"DON'T, i have a bad feeling that the moment you go, you will be targeted, plus the sound of battle should alert nearby guard, once they got here you can escape" [Azumi]

the raja orc, without any warning charge at Azumi, with a quick reaction, Azumi drew his keris and with body enhancement magic he enhance both his body and keris, not only that, he also enhance his keris with wind magic, with that not only he block the charging raja orc, he repel the raja orc toward the wall, crushing the wall and cause some crack into the raja orc armor

"now, let us begin" [Azumi]
