Villain's Requiem

Alex's POV

I've decided to head to the port city of Erantel in the western region of Spain.

You're probably wondering what's Sapin right?

Well I'll tell you but first let's start with the super continent.

Even though all the continents had combined, it was still divided into five main regions.

The Northern continent- home to the demon race.

The Eastern continent, where the Elven and Fairy races thrived, was renowned for it's breathtaking landscapes.

The Western continent, inhabited by dwarves and beastmen, boasted impressive mountain ranges.

The Southern continent, my home, was the domain of humanity.

And then the largest of the regions, the central continent. It was home to the large clans, each of whom is as strong as a Kingdom at least.

It was also home to the largest human ruled nation, The Holy Empire of Lumina.

Meanwhile the Southern continent was divided among two empires and three kingdoms.

The Hayes Empire, known for it's military prowess, and the Dragoina Empire, celebrated for it's magical advancements vied for dominance.

While the Sapin, Elrando, and Foran kingdoms maintained a delicate balance amongst themselves.

The Sapin, Elrando, and Foran kingdoms combined to form the Federation. Ruled by the council.

As for the Hayes Empire, it was ruled by the royal house of Hayes. And it had four dukes, each ruling a specific region in the empire.

House Morningstar - Western region

House Eclipse - Eastern region

House Netyoive - Southern region

House Wright - Northern region

These were the four ducal houses of the empire.

Hayes Empire occupied the Northern and part of the central and eastern region of the Southern Continent.

As for the Dragoina Empire, they occupied the Eastern and Southern parts of the Continent.

While the Federation (Sapin, Elrando and Foran) occupied a combined area of the central and Western region of the Continent.

With Sapin being further towards the west.

I currently planned on heading to the federation (Sapin) specifically. Anyway with my destination being outside the empire, I would probably need to use with a space gate or travel the old fashion way.

Either method would require a lot of gold. And I would probably need to leave without being noticed. Although I don't think Arnolds would really have a problem with me leaving but still better to be cautious.

So for now, my main goals would be to reach [F+] before I leave.

CLANG CLANG

A young boy with golden hair, and crimson eyes could be seen sparring with one of the knights.

Unlike with Lucas, they were using real swords. Silas slashed at the knight who barely dodges it and counterattacks with a thrust.

But Silas lightly jumped backwards. Then with a smirk on his face he spoke "Looks like I've almost caught up huh." And then taking a thrusting stance, he lunged at the knight.

CLANG

The knight blocked yet again and slashed at Silas who nimbly dodged the attack. He then channeled mana towards his feet and unleashed a flurry of thrusts at the knight.

CLANG CLANG SLASH

The knight parried a few but some landed sending him backwards. Silas then raised his hand and started chanting.

And brilliant light particles started gathering around his palm and changed form into a sword.

He then took a dual wielding style stance. A normal longsword in his right hand, a light made sword in his left.

Swoosh

He vanished from his spot appearing before the knight in an instant and slashed from both sides but.

THANG

His blades clashed against a barrier of earth. The knight had cast an elemental barrier around him. Then he cast another elemental magic.

"Earth magic: Grand Spike"

BOOM

A giant earthen spike erupted from the ground aiming at Silas but it hit nothing but air.

Silas had jumped into the air. With a smile on his face he exclaimed "Wow. Is this guy seriously trying to kill me".

While he was still in the air the Knight started channeling mana through his whole body preparing for a final strike.

Silas seeing this also prepared himself by channeling his mana towards his feet mid air.

THUD BOOM

As soon as he landed, he took off at full speed towards the knight, with both blades in hand.

"Light style: Phantom slash".

"Earth magic: Stones of Judgement."

Both of them sent their strongest attacks at each other and the resulting collision was.

BOOOOOOMMMM

Part of the training area exploded due to the raw power of the attacks.

When the smoke of the area was lifted, both Lucas and the Knight were on the ground breathing heavily.

"Fair play Young Master." The knight said amidst heavy breathing. Silas stood up, his attire torn revealing his chiseled abs and nearly godly physique.

He then stretched his hand towards the knight to help them up. "Good job as well, Misha". The knight, Misha, took his hand and stood.

They then proceeded to take the helmet off, revealing a girl in her late teens, with blue eyes, sky blue hair, and a cute face.

"Huuuuu. I guess that's enough training for today. But still, to think you're already capable of going toe to toe with me. As expected of the young master." She said.

But Silas in a polite tone simply said "Come on, I wouldn't have gotten that far if you hadn't held back." "So maybe you're not as behind as you think."

Misha seeing Silas trying to cheer her up couldn't help but smile.

Meanwhile, Reinhardt who was watching them simply shook his head. And soliloquized 'He may have more potential than Lucas, but talent wise, Lucas is overwhelmingly above him.'

He then raised his head to look at the mansion. 'Arnolds. I don't know what you're thinking. But for your sake, I hope you realize the gem Lucas is and start treating him right, otherwise you'll just have yourself to blame.'
