Emiya and Ryouta prepare themselves for their journey to the dragon dungeon. Aetherius offered himself to guide Emiya to the dragon dungeon. They agreed to gather at the Elarion Guild. As Emiya and Ryouta arrive at the guild, Aetherius sits at a table with a cup of water and a slice of cake. Looks like he has a little breakfast while waiting for them. Aetherius waved a hand to them.
"Great we all are here but first, we must meet with my informer. Oh he is here.", said Aetherius.
Emiya could feel the sense of someone full of blood, the anger behind him. The informer wearing a black robe, and he is wearing a white mask. They sit.
"Do we must meet here, Aetherius? It is not easy to hide myself from the empire.", said the informer
Aetherius drinks his coffee. "Don't worry, you are safe with me. This is Emiya and Ryouta. I will guide them to the dungeon so what do you get for me? Emiya and Ryouta, may I introduce to you, Kensaku, he is an S-Level Hunter from the Universe Hunter Association."
The informer gives them a map. "Here it is. The map for the dungeon. By the way, the dungeon is S level and I heard that a lot of people die in there. I believe there is a big secret that is kept in there. Even the Elarion Guildmaster has once been there and he just managed to reach level 90 and he is the first person who managed to get out alive from there. By the way, could you bring me some souvenirs from there if you get out alive, Aetherius?"
Aetherius smile. "I would not mind too. What about the second task I give you?"
"I have been there when it all happens. An army of monsters is being summoned by someone. I do not know his face but he wearing a black jacket, white hair and he has two horns on his head. They destroy the Grazil Kingdom. Suddenly a person hovered in the air, destroying the monsters with one shot of magic. The guy with the horn managed to avoid the attacks and he was gone. I believe it is a demon and he is not from this planet. He must be summoned by someone or moved by someone's command. I could sense crazy magic energy from this kingdom. It's way more than the Royal Universe Family but yeah I've never seen the royals use their full power. For your information, the person hovered in the air is the King of Elarion."
They were surprised by his answer. Never thought a king who is 20 years old could have such a strong power. The informer speaks again after drinking a cup of coffee.
"Whoever he is, he has the power to destroy this world. Stay out from the king, Aetherius. I may be a hunter but some are still out of my control. I don't want to be someone's prey."
Aetherius hands a pouch to Kensaku. "Alright. I accept your advice and thank you for helping me, Kensaku."
Kensaku standing. "Your name is Emiya, right? I sympathize with what happened to the Alvion Kingdom. King Arvien once helped my people on my planet, he is a good king and I believe his heir will be the same. May you find the killer."
Kensaku is gone. Aetherius, Emiya, and Ryouta begin their journey to the dragon dungeon. They took the north gate. It would just take them two days to reach the dungeon. It's already two days, and they finally arrive at the front gate. They enter the dungeon to clear all the 100 levels. It's already 3 days, and they managed to reach level 99.
"I already accompany you to reach this far. I believe it is better if you face the boss level alone. Ryouta, what do you think?", Aetherius said.
Ryouta nodded. "I agree with you, call us when you need help, Emiya."
Emiya holds his sword. "Thank you, Aetherius, Ryouta. Please wait for me."
Emiya open the door and enter the room. It was dark and he couldn't see anything. He cast a fire spell and the fire suddenly flew to separate ways and lighting the room. He could see a throne in there. A few pictures, a lot of gold, and a statue but the thing that caught his eye is a sword. He walks to it and tries to touch it.
"Do you like that sword? It was made a billion years ago from the dragon's power, blood, and scales. You must at least beat 100 dragons to use it." a figure appeared in front of him.
"Who are you? Are you the boss of this room?"
"I am Axtrasus. I believe King Arvien already told you about me. Nice to meet you, Emiya." the figure said.
Emiya is shocked. He finally meets someone who has the answer to everything he should know the only person who could lead him to everything, to his past and the mystery he has been asking all this time. Emiya's expression change.
"Please tell me you have the answer, Axtrasus. I've come this far just to find you.", Emiya said in a hard voice.
Axtrasus smiled. "If that is your wish, Prince.
A long time ago, there was a man who aspired to be a hero. He pursued his studies at the World Hero Academy and consistently ranked number one in everything. He was not only a prodigy but also the heir to the Universe King, the first prince, Hugo Ulysses.
With his unmatched power, he single-handedly defeated over a hundred dragons during the Second Dragon War. The world believed he was destined to rule, a man capable of shaping history itself. He stood as a beacon of justice, a symbol of hope.
But then, he met the woman he loved, your mother, Kaguya. They fell deeply for each other and planned to marry. Your father brought her before the Royal Family, seeking their blessing.
However, your grandfather refused to accept her, not because she was weak, lowborn, or unworthy, but because she was a hybrid of the five most powerful races ever to exist. Your father fought fiercely for her, defying the royal decree, and in the end, he won. The King reluctantly granted his approval.
They gathered In Ancient Spirit Forest to announce their union to the world. But on what should have been a joyous occasion, everything changed. Your grandfather had other plans, on the day of their wedding, he ordered the extermination of hybrids like your mother.
What followed was a cataclysmic war between humans and hybrids. In a desperate act, your father unleashed his full power against humanity, but in doing so, he also unintentionally harmed the hybrids. In the aftermath, hybrids vanished, and their existence was reduced to legends.
You had already been born by then, but your birth was kept a secret. To protect you, I was entrusted with your care. But soon, enemies began to hunt you. Fearing for your safety, I sent you to King Arvien, entrusting him with your life in the hopes that he would raise you well.
And King Arvien... he kept his promise to me."
Emiya is shocked. "I am a son of a Hero? Wait, I once heard about Ulysses. The Ulysses Family is the highest Royal Family that rules the whole universe. Everything in the world belongs to them, they hold the universe's secret, and nothing could fight them. Not just Ulysses' family but also Aurelion, Blanchmere, Crimson, and Ravencrown. These five families rule all of the things in this universe. All this time, I thought my parents died because of war but they were killed by the people I ever respect."
Axtrasus holds Emiya's shoulder. "Don't worry, the people responsible for the war are already being punished by the Four God Elders. As you can see the peace around the whole universe is because they exist. Recently, some of the planets and the universe collapsed daily without people knowing. I believe that this relates to the Universe Royal Family. There are still some of them that use their power for the wrong thing and even oppress the people. The world is unbalanced and someone must do something about it. It's you Emiya, the next one of The Four Throne Of Creation."
Emiya is stunning. "WAITTT, ME?!!!"
