Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Ancient Magic Rune
After communicating telepathically, Ozy leads Zeeta to a hidden chamber behind the cave, which is hidden by a waterfall, and coated by a thick fog. That place was the place when Aria found Ozy who had already changed into his human form.
On her way there, Zeeta takes fifteen minutes, which is due to the thick fog that blinds her. Zeeta was even insistent, why at a time like this did Ozy not meet him directly? Doesn't this just stifle time?
When he arrived at the space that became his final destination, Zeeta was very confused because the space was just an ordinary room with one table and chair and only enough for one person. Whatdoes thatmean? Is he kidding?
“Calm down, don't be in a hurry," said Ozy, "I'll explain everything."
“Don't be in a hurry?!” Zeeta is emotionally disturbed.
Ignoring Zeeta's emotions, Ozy continued her sentence. “After you enter that fog, the time that runs here, is different from Grandtopia and Aurora kingdom.”
“Eh? What does it mean?”
“Remember, when you were taken by Aria to the Great Magic Forest, time was running slower a few hours from the kingdom of Aurora. You feel like you've only been ten minutes in the Great Magic Forest, but you've actually been gone for about six hours.
“With such a concept, the fog you have been through, also slows down time. This is a form of Ancient Rune Magic, Dagaz.”
Ozy shows a stone inscribed with the letters Rune, Dagaz.
“Listen. The Phantasmal team will arrive in nine hours—if we are in Aurora. By slowing down the time, you have two weeks with me to learn the Ancient Rune Magic.
“But there is something you need to take a good note of in your head and heart. This Ancient Magic can only be taught to you, because of the risk it takes, it is impossible to be carried by anyone other than you. That means, which is at once the source of your life, which is the cost to realize this Ancient Magic.”
“Glek.... W-do I have to master everything?” ask Zeeta.
“All? In two weeks? Impossible.
“Ancient Magic Runes were created by my race, Giant, and they consist of twenty-four letters. Each of the letters had extraordinary and unreasonable abilities and strength. If you can later use all the letters, you can go to the next stage to apply the combined Bind Rune— of some Rune magic, which of course is at greater risk. However, it is very impossible to do for you.
“For this reason, after I assess what kind of terrain you will face when you find out what Phantasmal is approaching, you will learn to use Thurisaz, Raido, Ehwaz, and Mannaz in this two-week period.
“Thurisaz will give you great power like a Giant in an instant, Raido will help you move faster, while Ehwaz and Mannaz, are runes to keep you from doing anything stupid.
“There is no need to deny it, if you are a dangerous Human who threatens the world. That's why, I don't want you to refuse to learn those two runes.”
Zeeta nodded. His look was serious too.
“You need to remember too, every rune you have to write quickly, with which one is right, and the right destination as well. If this basis is not met, the consequences can be fatal. If I had to be clear, losing your limbs was the lowest risk.
“You may already know, if nature is like a reserve of strength, or your trump card in everything. Therefore, you also get used to using nature mana, so that the trump card remains in your hand.
“Of course, Runes should be written with mana nature, but it is not impossible to write with mana-mu yourself.
“The Rune Magic is very powerful and maybe in this world there is only me and you who know its existence. Zeeta, this is very dangerous and very risky. But, with you studying this, the future you've seen can be lost together.
“Do you still want to trust me and train with me?” Ozy hands her right hand.
Zeeta steadies her determination and grabs Ozy's hand. “Please train me, Ozy!”
“You will be isolated from information or anything that
related to the world outside this place.” Ozy touched the space with his left hand, then changed its shape more freely. That room
lost tables and chairs, but replaced them with grass and some mountains of stone.
“Crazy! It's like the dimensional world my mother created!” Zietas
excited yourself.
“No, this is not a dimension. This is really that space
it was created that way, and only a small portion of the residents of the Great Magic Forest knew about it. Some of them are me, Hugo, and Maise.”
“Really? Then, it is also part of the magic world, like Yggdrasil and the Ephemeral Land?”
“True. As I wish I told you more about what this magical world looks like before I meet your ancestors, I should train you. Two weeks did feel long, but mastering four Ancient Rune Magic in this kind of run, was not necessarily able to succeed.
“So, grit your teeth and get ready!”
Zeeta is ready. His heart is also strong. “Good!”

Another part of the wizarding world, there is a modern country with its skyscrapers. The country is at war with the Phantasmal army led by Suzy. Only those who are not patterned go on a rampage and plan the country, despite already being fought with various magic-powered combat machines. Laser tanks, bullet guns of every attribute of magic or ordinary bullets, or even atomic bombs did not budge on them. The population of the land was only a small part, consisting of children and women, and a few dozen men who tried their hardest to drive the invaders out.
The rough-faced man phantasmal slammed his feet into the ground and immediately set everything nearby ablaze. “For what
we do this? Our target is in the kingdom, ‘kan?!”
“No need to rush,” replied Suzy, “this land has some potential that is able to destroy us. It's just a precautionary measure.
“But....
“If you insist..
Grimm jerks. “Really?” then grinned.
“Yes. After all, they would not expect, nine hours to be taken, just came.”
Grimm doesn't understand what he means.
“Determine, I've given you the freedom to choose. There's no point in you getting out into the world without showing your ferocity.”
Grimm widens his grin. That smile even caused a fire. Then, he relaxed his neck and fingers, then crouched down. He fumbles.
“I'll destroy them!”
‘FWIP!’
Grimm jumps when viewed from a distance, such as
someone fired a fire cannon. The jump, he deliberately shortened to finish off the remaining population of six people, as long as they spoke, with the stomping of his feet that immediately scorched anything including his own countrymen.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, Maisie stood with her staff. “Takkan I let you hurt nature more than this!” yells. He was preparing a magic circle that was much larger than what Alicia and Willmurd had created a while ago. The forest seemed to glow green from its magic circle, until it could be seen from the kingdom of Aurora.
