My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 188: The Ancient Order

-----

Flash!

Frank's body was enveloped in new energy, the leftover power of his soul transformation, as it quickly crystallized around his body forming a cocoon!

Everyone present glanced at Frank with surprise, disbelief, and concern…

It has already been two days since Frank fell unconscious, although it did not felt that much of a time for him within his dream.

After the great fight he had against the Goblin Emperor and then the Dungeon Core, the entire Goblin Dungeon fell apart, and the news about Frank's and the rest of the group had escaped in time was spread by Melodia and the rest of the Storm Chasers, as they carried Grandwing into a small hospital within the town, alongside Rabrudion and the rest of the Golden Lions that were not converted into zombies by Frank.

The Guild Master and Clishya seemed to be greatly impacted by what had happened…

Although they achieved victory, it did not come with a big price, and now Grandwing, Rabrudion, and Frank were in a coma state, recovering from the wounds and damage they received in this battle.

The reports made by Gwendolyn and Melodia made the Guild Master realize the level of insanity that the raid was, with hundreds after hundreds of Goblins being slain. Such a feat was immense for only three parties, and it would have truly needed several parties and perhaps even Rank 3 or 4 Magus to full exterminate everything…

After that, the victory of Frank and the rest over the Goblin Emperor was also revealed to the authorities, as the Guild Master could barely believe that Frank had managed to defeat a Rank 3 monster!

However, it came with such a great price that it seemed like it could have been true.

If then, Frank was someone incredibly talented that could not be taken lightly anymore!

Lord Adrian, an aristocrat Rank 3 Magus and the Guild Master of the Adventurers Guild within Acacia Town glanced at the papers and all the paperwork he needed to do to report something that had never occurred in the history of the world… a Dungeon falling apart.

Even more, he also had to report the number of monsters the Adventurers Fought and many other things, and even that Frank defeated a Rank 3 Monster despite being Rank 2, something that would make many aristocrats and higher-ups in the big city of Westwind surprised.

He feared that many aristocrats would begin to see Frank as someone they could manipulate due to his humble origins as a farmer, and would use to their own goals, even to the point that they could force him into becoming their guards or even an assassin through their authorities…

"What am I going to do? I can't… let those damn corrupts control this boy's life after they get to know about his amazing talents… But if I lie in this, I will most likely be apprehended…" sighed Adrian, even as a Rank 3 Magus, he still held not much power over such things.

Knock, knock.

Adrian heard the door of his office knock, as Clishya emerged from it.

"Clishya… Is there something you need?" asked Adrian.

However, behind Clishya, a tall man wearing priest clothes appeared, he was a black cat man with long cat ears atop his head and a long tail at his back.

His presence was strong… even stronger than Adrian's Rank 3 Upper Stage Mana Core Cultivation!

"This man… He has become Rank 4 now…" thought Adrian, glancing in surprise at the priest in front of him.

"Reuberto Estgrade… Long time no see. I see that your talent has already got you into Rank 4…" said Adrian.

"T-This is the man that- Oh, you already know him, Adrian-sama?" asked Clishya.

"Indeed. How could I not know him?" sighed Adrian, inviting Reuberto to sit in front of him.

"Haha, it is good to meet an old friend, Adrian. I have recently become a Rank 4 Magus, yet my responsibilities never end!" sighed Reuberto.

"I see. So you came for the kid?" asked Adrian.

"Exactly. I have finally arranged things properly. Do not worry about the reports, make sure to state every single detail of his prophecies. The more the better," said Reuberto.

"…What? Don't you think that they will-" muttered Adrian.

"Frank is a Hero," said Reuberto, shutting up Adrian, as Clishya fell into the ground.

"EEEEEEH?! Frank-kun is a Hero?!" asked Clishya in surprise!

"Please tell me this is a joke… A Human being a Hero in our country would…" muttered Adrian.

"I am not lying. This is the truth. Frank is a Hero… He has the crest of Abraddon. He is the Hero destined to protect this country and unify with the other Heroes to defeat the Demon King… which will soon awaken once more… within the depths of Terra…" said Reuberto, opening his eyes that were often closed, and revealing a sharp and serious gaze!

"No way…! And… the Demon King… Are you sure, Reuberto? Where did you get this info!?" asked Adrian.

"I've got my contacts in other Countries… The new Demon King is soon to be born from the Abyss of Terra… the entity that appears every 100.000 years… the monster that can rival the Gods, a Rank 10!" said Reuberto.

"This… The world… if the Heroes are not properly raised enough…! Are there enough Rank 6 or above Magus?" muttered Adrian.

"No… This Era has, sadly, not produced enough like other Eras… Rank 6 is only twenty in the world, Rank 7 is only four… and there is a Rank 8… But there are not any higher…" said Reuberto.

"Across the entire world?! Your damn contacts know way too much!" said Adrian.

"Of course, we are part of the Ancient Order…" said Reuberto, showing a white tattoo on the index finger of his right hand, showing wings, and a knife.

"I should have guessed… but why are you revealing this to me?" asked Adrian.

"Because I've known you my entire life, I am sure that I can trust you…" said Reuberto with a smile.

"Sigh… You were always up to something… I should have guessed you were from the Ancient Order! Always acting a bit shady… Man, give me a break…" sighed Adrian.

"A-Ancient Order?! What is that?" asked Clishya.

"Sleep," said Reuberto, as she touched Clishya's forehead, and she immediately fell asleep!

"Did you had to do that?" asked Adrian.

"We don't need anyone hearing our conversations…" said Reuberto.

"You might be right…" sighed Adrian.

"Now tell me, what did you do for him? You and the Ancient Order, you're planning in gathering the Heroes, and what then?" asked Adrian.

"The Ancient Order has always existed, we are the templars that protect this world separated by discrimination. We cannot fight against it on the surface, but we fight against such things in the shadows. We protect this world, and we, as always, have gathered the Heroes and have been able to predict and sense the birth of the new Demon King every 100.000 years," said Reuberto.

"So you are shady but actually just want the best for the world? How ironic, but that's how fucked up our world is…" said Adrian.

"After the Gods fell weakened and Axitl, the Goddess of Chaos became the strongest Goddess, this world had already lost any connection or protection from our Gods. We needed to protect ourselves now, but the surface filled with discrimination caused by the Gods themselves made it hard to unify the world against the major threat, the dungeons, monsters, and the Demon King… So eventually, in the long past, the Ancient Order was formed, to protect this world and those given the crest of Heroes," said Reuberto.

"And Frank… is the Hero of our Nation, is it?" asked Adrian.

"Yes. Alongside the other Heroes which had already awakened with their Crests, we must unify them and train them to grow stronger together, so the Demon King can be defeated. Heroes given the power of the crests are the only ones who can damage and even ignore the Demon King's strongest power, the Impermeable Miasma Barrier…" said Reuberto.

"I know the tale very well at this point, they repeated it every time at school… Then, does this means that you're grabbing the kid with you?" asked Adrian.

"Yes. Sadly, the Hero must be trained alongside the other Heroes… However, the Academy we are using for this is the prestigious Magus Academy located in the large territory between the Nations, which is already very close to the city, and where most of the aristocrats of all the wealthy families from all around the world go…"

"The Ancient Order are terrible schemers, I see… That Magus Academy is yours, right?" asked Adrian.

"Indeed… So, report as many things as Frank did, will simply increase his reputation. They cannot take it away from us anymore. If they even try, these aristocrats will have to go against the Ancient Order itself!" said Reuberto.

"This is… quite troublesome. But I get it. I will do it then… But what about the family he is with and his friends? If they are targeted…" muttered Adrian.

"Fear not, we have that covered as well, they have been cataloged as the Hero's Party. All Heroes have their own Party of companions, right? Those people are Frank's Party, they shall fall under my grace," said Reuberto.

"You're… registering as a teacher there?!" asked Adrian.

"Why yes! I will teach Magic Theory and Spell Casting! I am excited," said Reuberto.

"Sigh… I guess there is nothing to worry about then," said Adrian.

"However, we must hurry. Although the Demon King might take some time to be born, perhaps a few years, the Chaos Generals will soon emerge, and threaten the life of the nations through Raids… Frank is in a coma, right? Whenever he wakes up, please contact me immediately," said Reuberto, as Adrian nodded.

"Alright… Leave it to me," said Adrian.
