Chapter :-104 The World War-III (Part-5)

"Nii-chan, are you sure you want to do this!? You do know the restriction of our Ancestral Magic, right!?"

A young woman wearing a sky blue jacket and grey jeans could be seen standing beside a middle-aged man wearing a red jacket and black jeans. The woman was Khan's foster younger sister, Ruby. She followed her brother to the Russian front of the World War under Khan's request.

He wanted her to gain more experience and learn the way of the world. Henrik was Khan's sworn brother, making him also Ruby's foster brother. Though both of them hadn't really interacted with each other, Khan wanted Ruby to know about him.

He looked towards his sister before focusing on gathering Ancestral Magic around him.

"Henrik's intelligence is vastly superior to most people, he used [World-Hearing spell] to gain information on Gaia's agreement with [Alaya]."

Hearing her brother's words, Ruby's was confused and decided to ask Khan to explain what he meant.

"What do you mean, Nii-chan?"

Khan asked her question in a heavy tone as the world around him started to twist.

"Due to the ever-growing population, the planet was dying. [Gaia] was enraged by the destruction Humans were causing thus she decided to eradicate the Human race but [Alaya] couldn't allow her to do so."

"So both of them fought and argued for a long time before finally, [Alaya] had no choice but to step out of Gaia's way but only under one condition."

"[Gaia] may kill 2/3rd of the humans but she isn't allowed to kill anymore. 1/3rd of the human population must survive and patch up the world they destroyed."

"[Gaia] agreed and influenced the area around China, the temperature dropped down causing Chinese people to invade Russia only to be deported back to their country."

"[Gaia] manipulated the Chinese and the Russian government, causing them to wage war on each other which then grew into the current [World War]."

"Normally, killing so many individuals would cause a practitioner of [Ancestral Magic] to suffer from [Negative Karma] but since the upcoming mass genocide is approved by all [Gods]."

"Neither I nor Henrik would be affected by the [Negative Karma].…."

Realization impacted Ruby's mind before confusion overshadowed her thought process. Ruby wanted to understand the reason behind Henrik's request.

"So wh—"

Khan interrupted her before asking her to guard him while he casts the [Maha baledaan Mandala].

"Shhh….we don't have much time. Let me finish with the spell while you guard me."

Ruby grumbly agreed and acknowledged her brother's command.

"Hmmm…."

Lots and lots of Ancestral power gathered around Khan, the sky darkened, cloud thundered, silence prevailed, the fabric of space-time started to distort and swirl around his body, making multiple rings.

The sheer scale of power displayed by Khan was enough proof to say that he was nearly unmatched in the whole world.

He raised his palm in front of him and pointed towards the ground beneath his feet, green coloured markings appeared all over the land. In a radius of 4-km, a 1-D circle was created as the Ancestral power within the atmosphere started to condense and form the green markings.

Khan's hair danced widely in the air as the ground beneath his feet had already caved inside due to the sheer pressure exerted by the Ancestral power within the surrounding.

Ruby used [Ancestral Magic:-Clocking Mandala] to cover the energy outburst so that no unwanted individuals would disrupt their plans.

Once the green markings were complete, Khan smashed his palms on the ground and poured the entire power he had generated in the surrounding.

"[Maha baledaan Mandala]..."

A powerful green flare burst forth, upwards in the dark sky and pierced the heavy clouds, causing the clouds to disperse and the clear sky to come into the view.

(Somewhere near)

*Tap*

*Tap*

*Tap*

A man in his early 20s could be seen walking in the snow-covered forest, leaving a trail of boot marks behind. A long Odachi strapped to his back as he used his hand to take support from a tree.

Sasaki had walked through the snow in search of any energy signatures related to the release of powerful energy. His master had ordered him to protect a spell with all his might and make sure no one damages the Mandala.

But he did now the exact location where the powerful spell was going to be performed. Henrik had only informed his about the massive energy release that would take place once the spell is completed.

"Master didn't mention the reason why he wants me to protect a spell but it must be something important, especially if Khan-sama is also involved in the matter."

Just as Sasaki was talking to himself, he felt the air becoming denser by the second, sky darkening and clouds thundering. A massive energy maelstrom blew through the forest, decimating everything in its path.

Sasaki stood straight and closed his eyes in front of the incoming maelstrom, a tremendous aura burst forth his body, covering the area around him. The sphere which incased him was made purely using [Sword-intent], a mini-domain so to say.

Everything near Sasaki was torn to shreds, even the snow under his feet was decimated. The powerful maelstrom impacts the surface of the sphere before being torn apart.

"This must be the energy Henrik-sama had been telling me about. I must go and see the epicentre of this vast power."

Sasaki decided to check out the origin of the maelstrom and search for Khan as Henrik had asked him to do. He planted his feet strongly on the ground before bursting forth with insane speed.

(At High-Tower)

Henrik was standing on the rooftop of the High-Tower. In front of his stood a woman with white-hair, wolf-ears, wolf-tail, wearing a red-yukata with a tiny red fish-scale over her head.

An oval-shaped red marking could be seen over her forehead. She was incredibly beautiful and cute with an average height of 5ft 8.

She was surrounded by a warm sphere as the light released from it lighted the whole High-Tower.

She looked towards Henrik with a sad expression as she spoke in a light tone.

"Please consider your plan once again Henrik. You are going to kill a lot of people, even if you currently don't have any other way to unseal your siblings, you don't have to do this."

Henrik placed his palm on top of her head, over the fish scale and spoke in a low tone.

"This is the best opportunity for me to unseal my siblings, Gaia will kill 2/3rd of the human race so if they are going to die anyway, why not be sacrificed for my cause?"

"Their death would mean something if I kill them and use the power of sacrifice to unseal my brothers."

"Bu—"

"Enough! We don't have time to waste. I am going to create the [Maha Baledaan Mandala] and you must protect it from any harm."

"Do I make myself clear!?"

"...ok!"

"Good!"

Henrik then turned around and raised his palm high in the air, once again the sky darkened, clouds thundered, the air thickened as green markings appeared in the sky, covering a few kilometres of area in a 1-D circle.

"[Maha Baledaan Mandala]…."

A green flare burst upwards, towards the sky, piercing the dark clouds.

(Russian front)

Looking at the green flare, Khan knew that Henrik had finished the preparations for the spell.

"Looks like Henrik had also deployed the spell…"

Khan looked towards his sister who was staring at the huge green flare in the sky and sighed to himself.

"It is about to begin! The worst war this world has ever seen."

(Snow forest near Russian front)

Sasaki stopped and looked towards the green flare in the sky and frowned.

"Looks like Master has also started the spell, I must reach my destination."

Once again he burst forward with insane speed, towards Khan's position.
