The Cause Of Chaos

A sudden accident and casualty by a berserk tornado of energy caused a massive blow to the mayapur village. The secret meeting the elders of the village were having couldn't be done secretly anymore.

The new variables Saber and Failed Expedition called for an unfortunate event in the village.

"Gather all at the village centre. We can't hide it anymore." The Village Chief ordered his messenger.

Soon within an hour of time almost all of the villagers gathered at the centre of the village.

Large crowd of people were having their own sort of speculations and noise out loud created.

"Silent!! One of the major incidents that happened in our village can't be hidden anymore." Village Chief shouted.

"were they hiding something!"

"Well, I don't understand what is happening!"

"Don't you think that tornado was out of nowhere back then.."

Some were even speculating further...

"Hmmm! I heard the missing people were caught by demons and got eaten..."

"Oh! Also that expedition the Village Chief had a few days ago in the name of finding new lands and water sources was also for finding about demon hideouts... but they failed."

Noise and murmurs of villagers which clearly entered Chief's ears made him out of control and he shouted...

"Silent! We have something to inform you all about. And as I guess most of you already know."

Saber and his companion arrived late but they clearly knew what the crowd was about.

He stood at the last of the crowd and watched the situation unfold.

He was completely healed but pretended to be unhealed.

Some of the villager's knew the cause might be the new guests in the village but no-one had the proof to satisfy their suspicion.

At last without pulling the words any longer, Village Chief told everyone,

"I think we need to migrate far away from here."

He had no idea what to do and how the problems would be solved. And that moment the crowd burst into all sorts of riots. They were not ready to change places that easily. The village they nurtured for so long to be forsaken this easily they couldn't even think of.

To the moment as dense as this any words out of imagination would create chaos in the village's harmony.

And this was what Saber exactly wanted to happen.

He walked with confidence towards the front of the crowd and stood calmly.

"I have a solution for your problems. If you are ready to agree, I might help you guys solve the problems."

The new person in the village who has not lived even more than a week was showing the helping hand to the problem which even the Village Chief couldn't handle and wanted to migrate to new lands.

A commotion arose with people being divided into two.

Some wanted to follow the Village Chief and migrate but some wanted to believe the newcomer and try his methods.

"What ?! Are you saying you know about the problem?" The Village Chief who lost major warriors of the village was in no position to fight head on even if the situation called for it.

Saber smiled slightly and pulled out the device his friend prepared for the emergency.

"what is that?!.."

"it doesn't look good... will he help with that."

"How foolish?! Do you think that puny thing will help us fight the demons or something?"

The Village Chief now knew it was Saber all along planning the situation and doubted him for a demon himself.

"Yes! This will help you protect this village from the village. But for now only... To prevent demons or any sort of monster from entering, we need a larger device than this."

Saber's friend pulled out red stones from his pouch he was carrying.

"These are what we find inside the demons and they are called mana stones." Saber shouted again while activating the device,

"If you doubt it's working then please come at me attacking with the intention to kill."

The Village Chief was already agitated and Saber's call riled him up even more, making him jump at him with a double-edged sword.

Slashes after slashes but Saber stood in his place without even moving an inch.

"What?!"

The Village Chief was surprised by his bones and jumped back.

His supporters became alarmed and ready for the upcoming fight.

"I don't intend to harm you all, but want to help so that we can return back to our own world too. We need mana stones from monsters to activate the device to return."

Everyone cheered up after seeing the device's power.

A long discussion was held and finally after the village's sake the Village Chief surrendered.

"But I have a condition. You have to teach us to make this device."

"Sure!?"

Everyone became busy with forming teams to excavate mana stones from nature and some formed teams to go monster hunting.

Saber taught some of the males with large build the way of sword basics and trained to fight with monsters.

The Village Chief's group also worked their own share of work with caution and also kept an eye on Saber's actions.

.........

AT PRESENT...

"Then what caused them to destroy the city as it was and drag it to this situation?"

Zero asked even if he had some clue to.

Baali was angry and his veins on face were bursting out.

"Who is this Saber guy?!"

General Nil picked a device out of the drawer and showed it to Zero.

"System! Do you know what this is?"

System alerts.

"DIMENSIONAL TRAVEL DEVICE DETECTED. ENERGY USED IS EXTRACTED FROM MONSTERS AND HUMAN SPECIES."

"Monsters and humans !!"

Baali exclaimed and understood what would have happened.

General Nil continued,

"Yes! Saber and his friend were extracting the human energy and mixed with monsters to boost it's power."

"The expedition team for monster hunts were just a facade. Saber had all that planned."

Zero's eyes grew wide when the system alerted him with unexpected news.

"DEVICE IS UNSTABLE. CONTROL CAN BE OVERTAKEN."

A smirk rose on Zero's face, seeing that General Nil knew there was something going to happen soon.

"How many are still on your side?" Zero asked General Nil.

"What do you mean?"

"Allies?!"

"Around two thousand soldiers and three hundred masters of war."

"And the enemy side?"

"It is next week the day for their high-ranking delegates to come."

Baali listened quietly, clenching his fists hard..

"I thought of avoiding the fight but now it's inevitable."

General Nil didn't know what Zero had in his mind but, as he sided with him, he could somehow feel relieved.

He quickly alerted his comrades and immediately subdued all the opposing delegates within the city and patiently waited for the day of arrival of Saber's team from another world.

The priest, Zero, had subdued, listened to all of their talks and couldn't help but feel extreme fear for what was going to happen. But he couldn't do anything.

Baali took him to Zero's room and went back to his room.

Zero was sitting on the bed, folding his hands and that priest faced ground without any will to speak.

"Tell me about what happened at my home?!"

Zero asked him but the priest remained quiet.

"You spoke earlier but why become quiet now."

"Th-that's because I don't know what happened."

"What do you mean you don't know?"

Zero gripped his neck and looked at him coldly.

Priest could feel energy released from Zero chilling his spine.

"When they attacked our world back then, I was inside the temple and making cards for a child. He had amazing abilities and when I saw what it could do and was about to inform higher-ups but it was already too late."

"Too late!"

"Yes! The higher-ups I was about to contact were already killed by Saber's team and were eavesdropping on all the news from various temples. When I reported about the child and ability, they asked about the coordinates and to stay inside, not to go outside."

"Why co-ordinates....?!"

Zero didn't finish his sentence as system answered him,

"COORDINATES USED TO TELEPORT BETWEEN SPACE USING DEVICE."

"Oh!"

Priest looked at Zero and asked what he wanted to know.

"Coordinates are.... " Zero cut off him and asked,

"What happened next?!"

"Back then I didn't know all the cities and places were destroyed to the ground and lives were killed mercilessly. When they arrived at the temple, it was no less than a miracle for me. They appeared out of thin air and asked about the child.

When they carried the child with them, they took me too with them."

"I asked them what they needed me and child for but just asked me to follow quietly."

"What did they need that child for and what was his ability?"

Priest looked at Zero and said,

"Child said he heard gods telling him the word 'DEATH' and soon when he said that he fainted and a dark aura covered him. I didn't understand what had happened but it disappeared immediately and the child was just asleep. The card had the word death for the ability. If it is for the ability, I can think why they took the child but back then I didn't know what I was taken for."
