Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

[Outer Region of Forbidden Forest]

Under the sparkling light of stars, riddles started to occur on the surface of the lake and with a sudden bust if light a door appeared and three figures came out of the door which slowly disappeared under the dim light of stars.

Alice, who had now turned into the ruler of the celestial world, looked at the sky and the stars as she felt the life energy and life force of the entire continent within her grasp and turned around to look at Behemoon and Kai who were standing beside her with an urgent expression.

"Kai, Jai is in trouble. Hundreds of Elderwood are marching towards the army camp near the outer perimeter of Forbidden Forest and he alone is unable to stop them. Go and help him."

"Jai is in trouble? Hundreds of Elderwood are attaching the army camp?"muttered Kai and looked at Behemoon who had a grave expression on her face.

Even though she ruled over the ancient giant lake situated at eastern part of the forbidden forest and didn't have much interaction with the magic breast of land before meeting Kai, she is well aware of the thread of bloodthirsty tree monsters called Elderwood.

Knowing that hundreds of them are attacking, she cannot wait any longer.

"Master, if Alice is telling the truth. We need to go fast and help Jai before he is out of his magic. I believe Elder Asava had told you about them, they are the natural enemy of all magic breasts and all life forms."

Kai nodded, he is well aware of Elderwood but he had not seen one during his time in the Core Region of Forbidden Forest. After all they were supposed to be extinct from the continent thousands of years ago and looked at Alice who was looking towards the north west direction and walked towards her.

"Are you planning on going alone to the northern lands to Northern Lands to animate Chaos Champion?"

Alice nodded, she knows that Kai is concerned about her safety although he knows that she is now no longer a mortal being. It made her feel warm in heart.

"Don't worry Kai, Chaos Champion may be a manifestation of negative emotions and feelings but his power is nothing against the power of ruler of fire, light and life  aside from that, I don't have much time."said Alice as she points towards the sage emperor constellation.

Kai nodded and knew what she meant. Her presence in the material world will only last till Sage Emperor Constellation exists another wise she has to become one with Kai and become the same as Arya.

Seeing Alice disappearing in the dark night sky with speed of light. Kai and Behemoon also left for the army camp.

[Forbidden forest army camp]

Soldiers who were responsible for not letting the magic Beasts past them were looking at the giant greens monsters made up of tentacles like thorny vines coming towards them while devouring the life force of the magic beasts in their way with horror and fear in their heart and looked towards the watchtower where their last pillar of believe is present.

Meanwhile, Jordan who was inside the tower was looking at Jai whose face had turned pale due to lack of magic power and felt discomforted on seeing hundreds of Elderwood walking towards them slowly in a chaotic manner.

Jai was overconfident but never thought that so many young Elderwood would appear at the same time and would continue to increase.

He slowly stood up with his mentalily exhausted body and patted Jordan shoulder who was discouraged by the overwhelming power of the enemy.

"Did you receive any message from the Almon city?"

Jordan shook his head lightly,"Rune Phone and transmission devices are not working properly due to interference of Ether fluctuations going around the continent."

Hearing that Jai expression turned ugly and after thinking about the issue a bit while touching his chin and analysing the situation, Jai closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Jordan takes the soldiers and leaves this place as fast as possible. I would hold them back for some time with my physical strength as you guys retreat."

"But.."Jordan hesitated on seeing the determination on Jai's face and calmed his mind to think straight.

He knew this was the only way out and clenched his fist with a bitter heart. This is the first time in his life, he is running away from the battle.

"Please, return back alive. For his majesty will strip off my skin in anger?"said Jordan as he bowed his head and left to take command of the camp and make preparations for fast retreat.

A thin smile appeared on Jai's serious face as he continued to observe the elderwood, this way the first time he was facing such a life and death crisis after becoming a saint magic user.

He is well aware that blessings of magic laws protect him from lower class magic and it's hard for weapons of transcend stage to affect him but his scenario is different. Facing such reality and to not waste the effort of the last three years to create these elite soldiers groups.

He is willing to take his risk.

'This reminds me of my early days before I became the lord of the Central region, when others used to call me a fool, because I used to treat weak beasts as brothers and fight to protect them.'

Remembering those days, Jai heart lightened a bit as he started flying towards the direction of Elderwood.

Soldiers from below the watchtower cheered as they so their invisible demon instructor flew to fight the monster.

While Jordan who came down from the watch tower looked at soldiers and shouted.

"Stop, Cheering. You wimps and packs your goods and stuff. We have to leave his place as fast as possible."

Soldiers were caught off guard on hearing their commander's sudden declaration of retreat.

"Commander what do you mean by retreat? We have to take care of those Magic beasts from going further west from this place. Why are we suddenly retreating."asked the soldiers.

Another soldier also raised his voice,"Sir, What is the matter why are we retreating while lord Jai just to fight."

Others also started to raise questions as the situation inside the camp turned chaotic and also was heard by the soldiers guarding the camp from the magic beasts.

"Shut up, you lots. Cannot you guys see the seriousness of the situation? Why do you think Lord Jai left? It's to buy some time to retreat before those giant monsters arrive.

So, get going and pack your stuff we are leaving."

Hearing that all soldiers were stunned and observed the grave expression on their commander's face as they lowered their heads and looked towards the east direction from where giant entities were walking towards them.

Sometime later, the entire camp became aware of the news and quickly started their retreat operation.

Meanwhile, a woman wearing purple military uniform with her flickering light blue hairs zoom past the camp without anyone noticing her.
