Book 1 - 5.9 Prepare for Trouble
“This island is called Chaos. It
is where the patriarch of Chaos lives. They are enemies of the Magic
Tower. They believe that the human world is built by the powers of
humans and that all you need is human potential to make everything
happen. They aren’t necessarily atheists, but they believe that order
and god, all of this was created by humans. They aren’t completely
wrong.”
“I understand the gist of it. Then Mai-nim, you must be on one of those two sides?”
At Yulian’s question, Mai didn’t know whether or not to share it with Yulian and had a worried expression on his face.
“Truth
be told, I don’t like either of them. However, I am here on my own
will. The work that I am doing is to seal something here so that it
cannot use its power. I guess it’s a bit complicated of an explanation.
If you think about it slowly, you’ll understand what I mean.”
Yulian thought about it for a while before nodding his head.
“Alright,
that explains what I am doing here, and as for what you can do to help,
prepare yourself for the chaos. The desert might end up the most
dangerous place in the world.”
“What do you mean?”
“I am
unable to seal it on my own anymore. I am doing what I can to suspend it
as long as I can, but you can’t prevent the natural order of things
from happening with just human strength.”
Mai started to draw some lines from the center of the desert.
“Prepare
for the chaos of the world. That might be a war or monsters spreading
across the continent. I don’t know what kind of mayhem will occur. If it
ends up that the number of monsters go up significantly, the center
point is this desert. That’s because this evil being is sealed right
here.”
Yulian’s eyes opened wide.
“There will be more monsters than there are now?”
“Monsters
continue to regenerate endlessly. The time for humans to rule the world
has ended. Rather than saying that, it’s more proper to say that
they’ll be purified as a new type of people and be reborn. Either way,
if you are a desert warrior, prepare for this chaos. I believe that
people can change their fate. If even one more person prepare for the
chaos, that will be what helps me out.”
Yulian could not come to
his senses after Mai’s unbelievable words. It was as if Mai was playing a
prank on him or telling him an old folktale.
“Do not take my words as a joke; I hope you prepare properly.”
As
if he could tell what Yulian was thinking, Mai said that to dig the
stake deep into Yulian’s heart. Yulian nodded his head and replied.
“My
mind is everywhere after suddenly hearing such unbelievable story.
However, there are no cons to preparing. You said the monsters will
spread from the desert?”
“Since the hole is here. From a long time
ago, there were people who sacrificed themselves to seal this thing,
and now, I am the one sealing it. I believe that the monsters would
still mainly remain around this area.”
After listening to Mai,
Yulian now understood why the monsters stayed in the Monster’s Desert
without leaving it. The man in front of him was responsible for keeping
it that way.”
“How much time does the desert have to prepare?”
Mai tilted his head before answering.
“I’m
not sure of the exact amount of time. All I can tell is that the seal
is starting to get too strong for me to handle. Don’t put on such a
serious face since the world is not ending right away, but just start to
prepare.”
“Hmm...I feel like I learned such a large and important truth about the world.”
“If
you end up finding everything out like I have, it feels like it’ll
break your head. It’s better to resolve all things simply. Prepare your
defenses well since you don’t know when war will break out or monsters
will leave the desert. See, how simple is that? Right?”
Yulian nodded his head at Mai’s words. EIther way, if he achieves his dream, there won’t be much of a problem.
“I understand.”
“Looking at you makes me feel happy. Looking at Finn makes me happy; you’re the same.”
“Who is Finn?”
“The crown prince of the Rojini Kingdom.”
“What?”
Yulian opened his mouth in shock.
“You know him?”
“It’s one of the Eastern continent’s strongest nations.”
“It’s
not even that surprising. WH\hat’s more surprising is the fact that in
this tiny area, there you, the prince of the desert kingdom, and me, who
still has some level of respect in the world, along with a swordsman
who can instantly slash low level monsters.”
“Still…….”
“You
ended up a person who knows after listening to my story. We call
ourselves the special people. If you learn a little bit more about what
is going on, your solidarity with the special people will increase.
That’s because we have to work together to survive. Since you are part
of the desert royalty, I will give you a small gift. If you need a line
to connect you to the continent, sell my name. Whether it is the Eastern
or Western continent, if you say my name, there will be some kings who
flinch. Of course, you must never tell them that I am here.”
Watching
Mai draw the entire map of the world from his head and listening to him
talk about how his name alone would surprise the powers of the
continent, Yulian could not help but debate if this was all just lies.
To
be lies, Mai’s tone of voice was too casual and he was speaking as it
was certain. But to call it the truth, isn’t this too farfetched of a
situation?
Looking at Yulian’s expression, Mai laughed before speaking.
“Don’t
have that type of eyes; later, just say it to any of the continent’s
powerful royal families. All you have to tell them is that Mai Dreeno
and Luff Micklop sends their regards.”
“I understand.”
Mai nodded his head at Yulian’s answer and spoke again.
“I think I’ve been talking for too long after saying I’ll keep it short.”
“It’s something that’s important for me to hear.”
“It’ll
be best if I don’t have to come find you, but if the seal ends up
breaking, I will come to visit you in the desert. If Luff knew you were
leaving, he would hold onto you to make you stay, so leave while he is
sleeping.”
“But I have to at least say goodbye……”
Yulian wanted to see Luff, who had been giving him so much pointers, one last time, but Mai stopped him from doing so.
“Saying
your goodbyes will make it harder for you to leave. Nobody can handle
Luff’s strength, and since he knows the amount of time I need to cast a
magic circle and how I do it, he will definite obstruct it.”
“I
guess I have no choice. If you have not come to visit before I have
achieved my dream and prepared all the defenses, I will come once
again.”
“Do what you have to do. Then I will start the casting.”
Yulian
nodded his head and Mai started to draw the magic circle and throw some
magic powder to prepare for Yulian’s teleportation. (TL: This makes me
think of the Floo powder in Harry Potter)
“Huh? What are you doing?”
Luff
saw the light pillars shooting up around Yulian from far away, and
started to head over, recognizing that the fun playmate he had was
leaving.
“Don’t go!”
“See you next time, Luff-nim!”
“Don’t go! Don’t go!”
Luff
looked like he had created a deep bond with Yulian and continued to cry
out to Yulian to not leave. This made Yulian upset. If he was going to
leave, he wanted to leave together.
“Look, look. I told you he wouldn’t let you go if he knew. I’ll visit you with Luff to play later, so work hard.”
Yulian could not take his eyes off of Luff, but nodded his head at Mai.
“Teleport.”
Mai’s casting ended and once he said the chant, Yulian instantly noticed that the scenery in front of him changed.
Hot sun. A world of yellow sand. It was the desert.
