Chapter 595 Training To Be A Prince



Emeros saw himself standing in a strange hall. He sat on the Throne and watched over the great cosmos with all of creation before him. Beings that Were Are and Who Has Come were all over this majestic tapestry, and even the dead were present.

Time was much more complicated in this realm as there was no time. What there was were the Three Seasons. The Duality of Beginning and End were the two seasons that marked the start and finish of the universe. And both Beings were headed towards the center where the Present Season approached Middle. But within the Present were two events that had been revealed.

The death of the Nephilim persons, Kyros and Noxus, occurred at the edge of the Present, where Middle was, but right before it was the season of Emeros.

The grand universe was like a moving tapestry that moved towards the center.

Emeros saw it, but his mind could not contain what he had seen, and he fell into a terrifying headache.

"Before Beginning and End, before Truth and Falsehood, before the era when Hyperion severed the entire world, I was King." A calm voice spoke.

Emeros heard the voice, but he felt his entire body trembling at each word as it contained great power.

"I was the King of all. Since the start of that time, I have decreed that my world will be Eternal. Other created Universe will have a King, but its reign will end. But I will rule through all time. My Kingdom will never end. My glory will know no bounds. I purposed in my servants the battle to conclude the conflict within. And you, the Nephilim, shall arise."

The entire space began to spin, and Emeros was being drawn into the vortex.

"I am a King. But I chose to abandon my power for I yearned Eternity. Nephilim! Do not cower, and do not let the darkness of the End distort you! The true heir remains the heir even without power! I, Vasilius, King of the Universe, decree that a time is coming and now has arrived, that my Kingdom, the Kingdom of Eternity, shall arrive!"

Emeros felt the words he had just heard vanish, and his mind could not contain this knowledge. It was something that he could not process even as he listened.

"I speak in the language of the heavens as someone who stands before and after time. And you will not remember this. But your heart and body will know. And now, I bestow your inheritance hidden before the world began."

Emeros felt a sharp piercing pain on his forehead.

"The power that I used to protect you, the Rule of Kings, is bestowed to you. It is a power that surpasses all bonds and laws. A king is a man of his word. Though you cannot abuse and change the laws and binds offered, any attempts to destroy, abuse, or cheat on a vow can be returned in full force."

Emeros somehow understood the rules and laws. The previous encounters were when the Baron and the Deadwood Troglodyte attempted to alter vows and were met with severe consequences.

"I also bestow on you the Claim of Kings! You are the king of this world! Any unclaimed object of power, gate, seal, or sealed inheritance will be yours to claim! You who have nothing must live and see life to claim everything. A true king is not someone who sees himself above all. Only by becoming like the weakest can you rise and wield power as the greatest. Arise and fight, my Prince! Arise and claim the inheritance of this world! Arise and Challenge End! Arise and claim Eternity!"

The entire world began to light up, and Emeros was being hurled back into the season where he lived.

He crossed the galaxies and soon found the tri-planet where he stayed, and then...

Emeros opened his eyes, and he could see the dark ceiling of the cave.

"...Where?" Emeros was confused as he saw the room.

"That... vision! Was it real?!" Emeros pondered. He instinctively brought up his stats to check the recorded skills.

Emeros saw his stats and realized the truth of his being.

"...Then the Nephilim is not just the offspring of Wisdom and Falsehood! We are... the inheritors and Prince of Vasilius!" Emeros was startled. He realized that yet another power worked beyond what Kyros and Noxus knew!" Emeros was amazed.

Emeros glanced at his arms and tried to call out the two powers he gained. But there was no reaction, and no energy was summoned.

Emeros sighed.

"I guess this power is not something actively called upon, but this power is tied to my identity!" Emeros suddenly had some sense of confidence.I think you should take a look at

"Interesting... Pseudos and Sophia deliberately divided the power bestowed to Kyros and Noxus and gave me nothing. But if Vasilius's statement was true, he is a being that stands even above Wisdom and Falsehood! My parents may not have known what the power of Vasilius was. Or, they were convinced that this power was the weakest as the inheritance of Vasilius was lost to their knowledge! But the truth is... I have the greatest inheritance of all my brothers!" Emeros grew excited as he realized this.

He stood up and felt a rush of confidence and purpose.

"I am training to become the Prince of this Universe. My weakness and everything I will learn here will also be the knowledge that Kyros and Noxus will soon have. And when our collective experience and knowledge combine, perhaps we will be worthy of becoming the Prince of Vasilius!"

Emeros walked out of his bed which was separated from the main room with thick curtains.

As Emeros moved out, he saw that the room was clean.

Philip and Serena were awake, cleaning and putting out the fires and damage in the room.

Wesret and Don were at the sides. They were conscious, but it was clear that they were heavily injured.

"Master Emeros! You're awake!" Serena ran weeping as she saw Emeros emerge.

But as she drew near, she realized what she was about to do, made an awkward stop, and went down on her knees to bow.

Emeros saw it and recalled the words of Vasilius.

"You bow now, but we are equals, Serena." Emeros smiled.

"I believe... that I will soon be king. But it will not because of mere titles or the power that I wield. It will be because... you see me worthy and bow willingly, even though you know that we are equals. Stand up. Right now, I don't think I have that in your hearts. And if you guys ever bow to me, I hope it will be because you think I am worthy of it apart from my power, rank, or prestige." Emeros explained and helped Serena up.

Serena tried to keep herself kneeling.

"Master! I already see...!"

"You still call me master. This means we are not equals. Stand, Serena. I will not accept this bow." Emeros pulled her up.

Serena stood up and couldn't help but sense a strange charisma from Emeros. He also spoke with such authority that he made her accept Emeros's words.

Emeros then turned to the rest.

"First of all, I have to applaud us. We killed a level 23 Deadwood Troglodyte, Mage Rorcast." Emeros smiled.

Everyone was surprised.

"That was really a level 23 creature?!" Don was startled.

"You still doubt it? We nearly died from one swing of its tree body! If we didn't work together and attacked his swing, we would have surely died! Well, maybe Serena would live!" Wesret chuckled.

"Serena's vampire lineage was induced through the Dark Dependent formula, and that attack which nearly claimed her life aided in awakening her vampiric qualities. But what's interesting is that your lineage is quite impressive. I thought you were a turned vampire, but I'm now starting to think that you are a Bloodline Vampire! That recovery that allowed you to nearly heal all your wounds is not a normal vampire. If you feed, even those scars on your face will vanish."

"Feed?!" Don gulped.

"Oh, relax, you big coward! Stop being a kid! If Serena wants to feed, she can feed on me! She fought with us with great bravery!" Wesret chastised Don.

"Actually, if Serena does feed, it would take all your blood to make her recover." Emeros laughed.

"We will go out and hunt. The plan worked better than I thought. The Vow Breaker easily dispelled the Vow Binder spell he tried to use on me, and his demands were used against him. He wanted to know everything that I knew, but the spell my master used was so powerful that the Vow Breakerforcibly took the memory of this creature and gave it to me! And it's the reason we are alive now. I instantly knew all the potions and powders that this mage had made before the trap. And that was what we used to kill it!"

"So that's how you knew about the potions!" Philip exclaimed.

"But it all wouldn't have been possible without everyone's assistance! And now, I know of the underground region! We have quite a mission to complete and are pressed with time! The others must have sensed it! They will be cautious, and even I don't know what they will do!"

"The others?"

"The greatest secret that Mage Rorcast has is that he and three other mages are the ones that opened the portal that caused the monsters to appear here. It was a part of a seal! Three more creatures of equal power to Rorcast remain!"
