Chapter 32: Nithius Training Starts!

Chapter 32: Nithius Training Starts!

"That's not something I can tell you guys," Kircheis said and stood up.

"Why do you say so?" Ariel said.

"I still…... don't know why Franos killed Drajil," Kircheis said. 

"Why don't you ask him?"

"I am looking for him after that incident everyday but he always escapes."

"So how will we know it?"

"He will come to you guys."

"Why?"

"To fulfil the last wish of Drajil."

"What was it?"

"His last wish was 'Help the one who will come to surpass Victor' and I believe it is you , Ariel whom Drajil spoke about."

"Me….?"

"Yes, you."

"...."

"Back to business, there is a danger coming."

"What ….is that?"

"The Demon King has risen again."

"Wasn't he defeated by Victor?"

"Yeah, the former Demon King was defeated by Victor."

"So who is this Demon King?"

"Son of the former Demon King."

"Is he coming back for revenge?"

"Why do you think so?"

"His father was killed by Victor so isn't it normal for him to come back for revenge?"

"You are wrong."

"Then why?"

"He…..wants to rule over the world."

"How can a Demon King….?"

"Why so?"

"How can demons…..?"

"Remember the Demon Invasion?"

"Yes."

"They are so powerful that they can destroy a whole city in one night."

"Are they that powerful?"

"Yes, they are."

"Won't Victor protect this continent?"

"Why should he?"

"I mean he is the King of Kings."

"I know that but he doesn't…...care about this continent."

"Huh?"

"Probably the Demon King won't invade the Beast Continent as the Beast King is superior."

"Even so…..if he gets control over this continent, then he will also attack the Beast Continent too, won't he?"

"You are correct . But that's not what I want you to think."

"Huh?"

"Fight."

"....?"

"Defeat the Demon King and become the king of this continent."

"You are not wrong."

"And the question arises 'how can you beat the Demon King?' "

"Nithius….?"

"Correct."

"How can I learn it?"

"By training."

"Can you do the job?"

"Yes, that's why I am here talking to you."

"When will we start?"

"I can give you three days and I will make sure to make you capable of using wings."

"Three days...only?"

"Yes, only three days because I will have to go meet my pupil who will soon fight against…...Victor."

"Who is that pupil?"

"Joseph Armstrong.''

"Joseph….Joseph….are you talking about the son of....Peacemaker?"

"You are correct again….. isn't he your cousin brother ?"

"He is the only brother I have got."

"He told me about you and so your dream and he even told me that he would make you his successor if he ever becomes the King of Kings."

"Will he?"

"I don't know."

"....."

"Get ready. I will be in the jungle tomorrow morning and your first task is to locate me using your wind powers," Kircheis said and left the shelter.

"What was all of this?" Toya said.

"History ….I guess," Ronald said.

"Extreme history…." Ariel said and they were silent for some time. Anna then returned after healing.

"Where were you Anna?" Toya said.

"I was healing the giants outside."

"I see."

"And also…."

"Also what?"

"I went to see Arthur."

"How was he doing?"

"I couldn't believe but he was training on his own ."

"Did he say anything?"

"He said he would meet us after three days."

"Coincidence huh," Ariel said and smiled.

"What did sir Kircheis say?"

"Just some history."

"Tell me too."

Then they told Anna whatever they knew. Afterwards they slept. It was morning. Ariel got up early and got ready. He was all fired up to learn Nithius.

He went to the Jungle. He summoned Alice. He barged into the jungle and started looking for Kircheis here and there. He couldn't find Kircheis. He tried very hard. 

Then he cleared his mind and sat down on the ground. He closed his eyes. His mind had nothing inside of it. His mind was fully clear. And then what he felt was unbelievable.

He started feeling the flow of wind. How wind was all around a tree , he felt it. He felt how wind was all around the grass. Then he started looking for a different type of wind. He focused more and more. 

Finally he felt a different flow which was around a human structure. He gave more focus. He targeted that structure with Alice. Alice started going through the trees and it hit the structure. But that structure caught Alice. Ariel understood it was Kircheis.

Kircheis used his first form and rushed to Ariel. Ariel opened his eyes and saw Kircheis floating in front of him. 

"Was I good?"

"Average."

"Why?"

"It was the basic feeling that you could feel through your elemental power. Moreover you had to close your eyes."

"I understand."

"I could have attacked you anytime."

"What can I do?"

"Feel everything. Every movement. Every insect. Every structure."

"That will take no time."

"Go for it."

Ariel then continued this training for the next two days . Then he didn't need to close his eyes to locate anything through wind because wind is everywhere on this earth. 

"See, I can do it better now."

"That's a good development but you still have to do more."

"Now teach me how to get wings?"

"You can do it by yourself."

"How?"

"How can you summon your sword?"

"That's because I visualise it in my mind."

"Same with wings though it will take more time and energy in the beginning."

"I see."

"Try imagining wings."

"Let me ."

Ariel then cleared his mind and started visualising winds. But he needed more energy to produce it. He gave all his energy and he could only produce small wings which were as big as his fingers. He was disappointed.

"Don't be disappointed. I could only produce one half of a wing on my first try."

"It is tough."

"No need to practice it now. Let's go back .  I will also leave soon."

Both of them returned to the city. They all completed their dinner. Kircheis came to the gate of the city. White Eagles followed him. 

"I will see you guys later."

"Thanks for everything you have done for us," they all said together.

"It was nothing."

"I hope to meet Joseph soon."

"He must be currently on the Human Continent II."

"He has gone very far. How will you get there?"

"Using my Nithius third form?"

"Go on."

"Third Form: Phoenix," Kircheis said and he became a Phoenix of water. He then started for Joseph. 

"Give my regards to Joseph," Ariel shouted.
