The Death of the JellyFalls [C58]

Soon, in front of Shu Eitha's hand, it formed a blue magic circle, applying a distressing pressure on anyone who witnesses it.

Initially, it displayed just the outer circle, but it slowly charged up with strange signs, creating an ancient and mysterious feeling.

Once built, the magic circle demonstrated its supremacy, being more than two meters in diameter and releasing an extremely cold feeling as if being in front of an ice dragon.

Suddenly, in the area resounded a voice: "[/Ice Age/]"

Clearly, it was the name of the magic spell but it felt different. The impression it presented is as if an ancient dragon is the one who spoke, terrifying directly the soul of anyone who hears it.

Shu Himo, Phylia, and even the JellyFalls shivered, sensing the reverberating of the spell.

The temperature of the area grew rapidly lower, beginning to form ice everywhere.

Shu Himo and Phylia abruptly felt as if they were inside a barrier, seemingly made by Shu Eitha to protect them from the effects of the magic.

The ice proceeded to spread, gradually freezing everything in the area, and after a couple moments all the plain remains not green anymore, but blue ice instead.

The grass is now covered in ice while the atmosphere appears to be colder, too cold to even breath, being at -273.15 degree Celsius.

The JellyFalls who were trying to escape are now completely frozen and dropping to the ground.

*Crack*

Continuing cracking sounds are coming from the JellyFalls, who get shattered by crashing on the ground.

Hundreds of JellyFalls can be seen dropping from the sky, producing a scene reminiscent of a cascade of ice.

Shu Himo and Phylia are now with their mouths agape and eyes wide open, looking in disbelief: is this the strength of true magic?

Afterward, they heard the overwhelming voice of Shu Eitha, "Shu Himo! You are invited to the Celestial Trinity Academy. Will you join?"

Seeing the solemn while still cold look from Shu Eitha, Shu Himo felt that this academy is in no way a normal one. "Can you give me more knowledge about the Celestial Trinity Academy?"

"The Celestial Trinity Academy is a place where only extremely talented individuals can go to become stronger. The Academy teaches in most fields, from cultivation techniques to even magic, which is something you currently need the most. Also, unlike in a sect, you will not have anything that bind you to the academy... for the reason about it, I can't tell you right now."

Pondering for a moment, Shu Himo then looked toward Shu Eitha, "If I come to the Academy, will Phylia be able to come too?"

Hearing his question, Shu Eitha gazed at Phylia, "There is no problem in bringing tamed monsters if they are loyal enough. To grasp how much loyal they are there is a special artifact in the Academy so there is no problem."

Hearing his phrase, Shu Himo's jaw dropped in shock, when did he notice that Phylia is a monster? Doing his best to hide the shock on his face, Shu Himo then said, "I accept."

Nodding, Shu Eitha snapped his fingers and a Flying Sword appeared from nowhere.

The Flying Sword's size is enough to transport easily up to five people and is a manually controlled sword, controlled by using the Qi.

"Come up."

With the reminder of Shu Eitha, both Shu Himo and Phylia leaped on top of the sword, while Shu Eitha began controlling it, carrying them back to the Capital.

Understanding that his brother had some reasons to not show his true strength, Shu Himo decided to hold the secret and not ask anything.

-----

Less than five minutes later, they already approached the entrance of the Capital, "Wait a moment brother, I promised one thing to a guard."

Puzzled, Shu Eitha stopped and let Shu Himo and Phylia go down from the sword, "I will wait for you at the Royal Palace, do what you need to do and then come to me."

"Okay!" Quickly going toward the usual guard, Shu Himo displayed a bright smile, "Hello!"

Seeing that Shu Himo is back, the guard started believing his earlier words, "Your Highness!"

"Come with me! Follow me directly to the palace."

"Yes!" Not daring to make Shu Himo wait a moment more, the guard hastily prepared himself and followed him.

-----

At the Palace, several minutes later.

"Father!"

"Greeting your majesty!"

Shu Mo, seeing that Shu Himo brought an unknown guard at the palace is puzzled, "Himo... who is this guard?"

"This guard is the one that gave me the information that there was a coup, which helped me formulate a plan. I would like to reward him by making him a royal guard."

Pondering for a moment, Shu Mo then accepted, "Sure."

Patting the shoulder of the guard and saying, "Good luck." Shu Himo left with Phylia.

-----

During lunch.

"Everyone, I will be leaving for a while once again." The announcement from Shu Himo broke the silence.

All his family is surprised, you just came back and are already leaving? The only calms are Shu Eitha and Phylia, who already knew it.

"Will you come back fast?" Shu Aria revealed her puppy eyes toward Shu Himo, hoping to convince him to not leave.

Smiling, Shu Himo replied, "I don't know when I will come back, but once I will be strong enough I will bring you around the world!"

Showing a smile, she asked, "Promise?" Hoping to be more time together with her brother in the future.

"Promise."

No one noticed the expression of Shu Eitha, that became gloomy after hearing what Shu Himo just said.

Afterward, the lunch proceeded normally, with everyone peacefully talking to each other.

-----

Later, only Shu Himo, Phylia, and Shu Eitha are present.

"Come with me." Following Shu Eitha, both Shu Himo and Phylia found themselves to be abruptly in another place.

Everything seems polished, resplendent due to the ray of light from the sun, behind Shu Himo it can be seen a portal about to close, while in front a plaza full of people.

Shu Himo and Phylia seeing this stood in shock, but what shocked them is not the location, it's the people!

In front of them, there aren't only Beast-men, there are also Humans, Elves, and even Angels!
