I Became the Youngest Summoner in the Strongest Guild

47. Arcana Online

As I entered the Heavenly King's office, she welcomed me with a bright smile.

"Thanks to Yuna's idea, our work processing speed has improved. Thank you so much."

She took out a book from her subspace and handed it to me.

"This is something I happened to obtain, and it will be of great help to you."

«Book of Hope»
It allows you to view infinite possibilities with a positive outlook.

As I opened the book with its golden cover, there were no words written inside.

But something felt strange.

Just by opening the book, I felt like I could do anything.

The Heavenly King was staring at me intently.

She looked at me with golden eyes shining like gold, and I felt like she was seeing right through me.

"I know what dream Yuna has. You want to create a world where beings called monsters by travelers and demons by humans can live comfortable lives. As the Heavenly King, and as an angel, I'll support that dream."

She hugged me tightly as she said this.

Had I been crying without realizing it?
Yong-yong licked away my tears.

"Thank you. I'll definitely achieve my dream."

"If you need help, contact me anytime."

After saying goodbye to the Heavenly King and while I was packing my things, a system window appeared.
It was time.

[Would you like to move now?]

Yes / No

"I'll move."

With a bright light, the location changed instantly.

I opened my eyes amidst dense foliage and looked around, unsure if I had come to the right place.

Then I felt a sensation.

Something was approaching.

And a lot of it.

As Yong-yong raised his head and looked around, monsters appeared as if they had been waiting.

They all looked grotesque.

From a wolf with three heads to one with a lion's head and a snake's tail.

Each one approached me with a threatening expression.

"Please."

"Kyuung!"

Blue particles gathered and shot a breath attack into the sky.

As soon as they saw this, all the monsters lay down on their backs.

"Now! Shall we start our conversation?"

Whether they'd become my friends or be buried in the ground.

Numerous monsters received magic stones from me and grew even larger.

They acted cute towards me in a way that didn't match their size, and our Yong-yong looked at this scene with displeasure.

"Kyuuung!"

"You know that you're still my favorite, right?"

"Kyuung!"

As I handed him a magic stone and spoke, our Yong-yong swallowed it in one bite, saying he knew.

As I stroked Yong-yong's head, he asked what wish I had written.

"Kyuung!"

"Oh, that? It's nothing special."

[I want to create a world where monsters can live peacefully.]

That was the content of my wish.

And the reward I received was this.

«Magic Realm Teleport Scroll»
A scroll that can move you to the 7 Magic Realms (6 uses remaining)

When I first received the scroll, I realized.

The fact that peace comes from overwhelming force.

If there's overwhelming force, no one would dare touch the monsters.

After that, I'll need to build a village too.

A village where monsters can live peacefully.

To do that, I'll need to persuade the upper echelons of the Avalon Empire and Arcadia, which is why overwhelming force is necessary.

To let them know that there will be big trouble if they mess with us.

I plan to build the village in one of the 7 Magic Realms, 'Eldorado'.

I'll need to move diligently.

"I'll call you later, so help me then!"

Leaving behind numerous monsters nodding their heads at my words, I used the scroll.

To head to the next Magic Realm.

I need to move quickly as I have six more places to visit.

The end of happiness and the beginning of hardship, huh.

In the conference room where the upper echelons of the Avalon Empire had gathered, only tension filled the air.

Including the Emperor sitting on the imperial throne, everyone was sweating nervously.

In this situation, someone opened the door and appeared, causing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

Known as the First Sword of the Avalon Empire and one of the ten masters.

Duke Adonis Ether, owner of the holy sword, entered the conference room and paid his respects to the Emperor.

"The owner of the Avalon Empire and the Sun's..."

The Emperor held out his hand to stop him.

"Let's skip that for now. How did it go?"

"According to the Black Knight Order's confirmation... it's true."

At those words, everyone in the conference room turned pale.

"Is it... really true?"

He took out a bead from his bosom and used it, and with a huge light, a video played.

A video that the Black Knight Order had risked their lives to obtain by approaching nearby.

The monsters that should exist in the 7 Magic Realms were gathered in one place.

Although it seemed fewer in number compared to when the commercial city of Thalassa was attacked, the monsters were on a different level compared to then.

The monsters existing in the Magic Realms can only be hunted with the cooperation of knights and mages.

The reason why such dangerous monsters hadn't been a concern until now.

Due to the barrier placed on the Magic Realms, the monsters couldn't come out.

But not only had they come out into the world, they were also gathering in one place.

"How could monsters existing in the Magic Realms come out into the world!"

"This must be someone's plot! C-could it be those crazy mages in Arcadia...?"

"That's not it."

With a bright light from the communication channel, a human girl appeared among the monsters.

A young girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing exotic clothes.

A video of her stroking the heads of the monsters.

The Emperor looked with a puzzled expression at Duke Adonis Ether, who had his eyes tightly shut and blood flowing from his hand.

"What's wrong?"

"I'll show you the data..."

He took out a document from his subspace and handed it over. The Emperor's face turned pale as he checked the document with a puzzled expression.

"The monsters you're seeing now are just the tip of the iceberg."

From the nine-tailed fox known to have destroyed kingdoms to Lord-class dragons with the power to destroy empires.

Beings that could cause astronomical damage even if just one attacked, numbering in the thousands... no, perhaps even more.

According to the report, she, or rather Yuna, might have been up to something during the periods when they lost track of her.

At that moment, a retainer burst in without knocking, practically breaking down the door.

"What's all this commotion!"

"B-big trouble! At, at the city gates!"

Pushing aside the retainer who was speaking while out of breath, they went outside. The imperial capital was visible at a glance, and in the distance, near the city walls, something huge was approaching.

Is there something wrong with my eyes?

"B-bring a telescope!"

At those words, a retainer ran frantically to bring a telescope, which was almost snatched away as they checked.

"A K-Kraken...? H-how could a Kraken appear on land!"

According to documents, it's a legendary monster known to have destroyed naval fleets and coastal villages, causing astronomical damage with just one.

But it was even larger than the size described in the documents.
Incomparably so.

A Kraken so large it could cover the entire imperial capital.

Looking closely, it was floating in the air with water all around it.

Emergency horns sounded, and six of the ten masters known as the Empire's Ten Swords gathered, but victory couldn't be guaranteed.

As they were about to draw their swords to protect the empire with tense hearts and activate barriers, they heard a voice.

[I have no intention of waging war against you. I've come merely to deliver a letter from a friend.]

Due to the voice that seemed to whisper in their ears, Duke Adonis Ether, who had volunteered to go out, leaped in an instant.

As he approached the Kraken, a scroll descended from the sky.

After receiving the scroll, the Kraken disappeared in an instant, saying its job was done.

How is this possible?

The fact that a being with such power can freely traverse space means it could turn the empire into a sea of blood at any time.

With trembling hands, he received the letter from Duke Adonis Ether and checked it.

"I-is this really true...?"

He dropped the letter, and Duke Adonis Ether picked it up and checked its contents, which were shocking.

What on earth is Yuna thinking?

Looking up at the blue sky, he finished his thoughts.
It seems the time has come to act personally.
If negotiations break down, even if she is a benefactor...
