Zeeta and the Wizarding World
The Time Passer

[Great Magic Forest, Grandtopia.].

After the formation of the Elf Forest to deceive the human eye for the safety of the Elves and his own Great Magic Forest, most of the Elves were no longer in Grandtopia. Unfortunately, with a figure that is only ten percent—in other words only about a few tens of people course—Grandtopia was rocked by a very big and real problem.

Here—exactly Reina— residence is the location where the panic occurred. “Why?! Why did this happen?!” scream Reina.

“What happened, Reina?” ask Aria. He was present near Reina to keep an eye on her mental state, health, as well as mana.

Turning her eyes in the other direction, Reina replied, “I lost contact Zeeta, Scarlet, Porte, Azure, Mellynda, Colette, also Lloyd.”

“Se-as much as that?!” Aria. “Even Lloyd too..?”

But suddenly....

‘BRAK!’

The door of Reina's residence was forcibly broken down by an Elf man.

“This is bad, Reina!” exclaim The Elf Man. He came with a super panicked face. His breath was also puffed.

“What?!” Reina accidentally screamed— because her condition was still confused.

“Te-Chairman..!”

Reina and Aria immediately frowned as soon as the word was said.

“The elder is suddenly very weak! His body was also continuously emitting some sort of black smoke!

“We've tried everything we could possibly do, such as healing external, internal, toxic wounds, and so on .. but there's no result!”

“Times like this..” Reina muttered, took a glass of water and directly gulped it down. But then....

‘PRANGG!’

The glass he held fell down, asking the two Elves nearby, what had happened?

“Ti... impossible...!” his body slowly shook.

Then, looking at Reina's howl, Aria immediately frowned, then walked up to her. “Turn yourself, Reina!” he snapped, shaking Reina's shoulder. “Tell me, what have you seen? If you keep it, you know best what will happen to your body!”

Reina immediately gripped hard Aria on part of her arm. It was so hard that it made him grimace in pain.

“Zeeta...!

“The Chronos tree has given me clairvoyance ... that Zeeta...!”.

Aria and the Elf Man who just happened to be here were shocked to death for what Reina had just said.

“But ... how...?” Aria asked. He seemed to understand what Reina's unresolved speech meant.

“Nghkk...!” Reina held her head. “A lot of cries for help .. sound of explosions everywhere.... I don't know what makes it so either..”.

Aria felt there must be something she could do. “This is not the time to just be silent dumbfounded after Elder Hugo chose me to keep Reina out of this kind of trouble!”

“Reina. I know it's very difficult for you, but listen to me.

“There is no reason why Elder Hugo could suddenly be like that at the same time as the clairvoyance you have seen. Sure. There must be a time gap where that can happen!”

Even with her sweaty face, Reina nodded. Yet....

“No need you do that!” a man's voice sounded from outside.

“Te-Chair?!” The Male Elf did not expect the arrival of Hugo who was carried by two other male Elves.

“Yang can do ... this kind of thing to me .. simultaneously penetrate the protection of the Great Magic Forest is not much. We are all ... the arrival of guests .. which is very dangerous!

“Be quick to search carefully ... where Lloyd is ... and let him know!

“That ‘Sang Ruler of Darkness’ has crossed the time!”

All the Elves who were there were shocked. But then....

“Heehhh... turns out what he said that Elf can see clairvoyance is true, yes...” A man's voice sounded somewhere.

“Who's there?!” The male Elf who had previously broken down the door, was on standby. Even with Aria who immediately close her body with Reina. So did the two male Elves who were carrying Hugo.

“The woman is so crazy about her strength, you know, there is no need to even measure her ki anymore. Everything is already visible from his appearance.”

‘FWIP’

The owner of the voice came down before them all. “He's already killed so many people, kuhahaha!” that man was the man who had attacked Aurora before. Long yellow hair with a red cloth tied around his forehead. He is Nanashi.

“What do you want here..?” ask Hugo.

“Mauku? Hm. Of course running my mission. Can you figure it out?” Nanashi grinned.

Hugo closed his eyes and sighed. “No Man so far besides him who is well intentioned to enter this forest.”

Responding to it, Nanashi widened his frequency. Then slowly black smoke was seen beginning to billow on the various sides of Grandtopia. The blue glow color of the grass and the ground, turned red.

“Ghk...!” Hugo and Reina grimaced together.

“Hahahaha! It's much easier and more fun than attacking Aurora!” exclaim Nanashi with his excitement, “you are not able to do anything when the two Elves are cornered! You guys are shit! If the next mission of the woman is always like this, should we just submit to her, yes, Fatty.?”.

‘BWHAM!’

Asuka came down from a tree branch. He seemed to be holding something in both hands. “Ya,” replied, “we were previously interrupted by Arata.”

All the Elves who were there were shocked to see what Asuka was grasping and they also knew what it was. It was two jars of black, white, and dark purple grains. All of them look shining.

“Oh?” Nanashi realized the Elves. “You seem to know what this stuff is....

“Let me tell you one fun fact!

“The woman said, ‘Elf is a creature that is interconnected with the surrounding forest. Finish them off with my power. Beware. It's very destructive.’”

Following the end of Nanashi's sentence, an explosion then occurred not far from them. Explosions after explosions turned Grandtopia into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye.

“Tua! We must act too! There must be something wrong with everything they say!” said another Elf who carried her.

“No. There was no mistake in their statement,” replied Hugo, who was unexpected by all the Elves there. “Reina, have you?”

“Yes! I've finished it!”

Hugo smiled. “You can let me go.”

“Eh? B-but, your body is still..”.

“Nothing!”

Inevitably, the two Elves released Hugo. At that moment, Nanashi and Asuka realized something was wrong.

Hugo stomped his right foot to the ground. Slowly, his body returned as usual when—healthy fit. “I am an Elf who taught her many things in this forest. I also created this forest.

“But, many DOES NOT MEAN all. And you misjudged the woman's words.”

“What?!”

“This forest is the forest of the Elves. The forest is also connected to us. That's the information you received from him. Then, don't you think, where are the rest of the Elves? Do they burn in their homes?”

“That's for sure!” answer Nanashi.

“Kids, it's time.”

Asuka and Nanashi goosebumps when simultaneously—as fast as the wind—tens of Elves surround them. Then, at the same time, they created a bow of arrows, which were immediately fired in a row towards the fire points with water magic in the form of arrows. After the smoke billowed around them, the glowing eyes of each Elf, as well as those who were the next target, caused the two to panic. But....

Nanashi once again grinned. “Like this?!

‘ZRSHT!’

Blood poured from Nanashi's neck.

“Originally you know, Elves hate Humans so much.” Hugo himself injured Nanashi's neck with roots emerging from behind Nanashi. “All Humans who have bad intentions towards this forest, are enemies to Elves.

“Stop them.”

Asuka who was cornered, was not even able to point out the power of her Dragon. At that time, the two remembered a few hours before they set foot in Grandtopia.

......................

[Night, after Asuka, Nanashi, and Arata returned to the Seiryuu empire and had reported their failure.].

While expecting forgiveness for their lives, Nanashi and Asuka are in a prostration position, while their emperor, Zero, is in a separate room. It was a special room for the emperor. The room is made of wood— where the front, is inorganic paper, so only the silhouette can be seen by his subordinates. Without her permission, no one can see her face.

“So,” said the Emperor, Zero. “And I trust your abilities very much. Then, why don't you guys use the holy power I've been giving you since the beginning?”

“So-about it, Your Grace..” Nanashi thought of scapegoating Arata. Yet....

“No need to be surprised so, Emperor!” the voice of a woman shocked Nanashi.

“Oh...? Didn't think anyone could make it past my guardian Dragon.” The Emperor remained calm. “Say, who are you and what is your relationship with them, Woman?”

“They? Only useless insects. If I were them, I wouldn't dare go back to you.”

“What...?!” Nanashi and Asuka were provoked by emotions. They do not even know or even recognize who the woman who suddenly showed the trunk of his nose.

“DIAM!” The Emperor snapped at—which made the room rumble. “I didn't order you guys to make a sound.”

“Oooh, spooky once.” The woman can only smile.

“Pardon my useless subordinate sass. So, what's your name, Lady?”

“Hahaha, it's okay, Emperor. The sub is often useless. I understand how you feel.

“Hmm....

“How about I say, I am the Ruler of Darkness?”

Unbeknownst to those outside Zero's room, his head vein seemed to be about to explode. “The Ruler of Darkness, you say? On what basis do you acknowledge the name?”

“Didn't your eyes belong to an Ancient Dragon named Gram, Emperor? Tryin. Just make sure yourself.”

The backrest for the hand on his chair was gripped so tightly that it shattered him. “No need. I'm sure you're not lying.

“So, do you want to destroy this sacred empire, the Ruler of Darkness?”

“No. I'm tired of seeing destruction by my own hands.

“Connect with me, Emperor.”

Zero was silent for a moment. “What do you want?”

The Dark Lord grinned. “I will be your strength and in return, I want to play wherever, whenever, and to whomever I want. Of course, I will obey your orders if you want me to attack Aurora though.”

“Basic crazy woman...!”

“Pfft!

“Hahahaha!

“Be aware of your position, Emperor! There's no reason for you to turn down this offer, is there?”

“Khh...." Zero broke out in a cold sweat that constantly fell from his temple. “Good. Be a force for my empire, Seiryuu, the Ruler of Darkness!”

“Fufu. That's what I want, Emperor.... Accordingly and you will be safe..” said the Dark Lord quietly.

“Good. Lend me these two useless insects. I want them to directly attack one dangerous place for you—that is where the Elves live.”

“Hoo...? You're sure they'll make it?”

“No need to worry. Even if they failed, the place would be destroyed. Because I'm the one who guarantees it.”

“Good. Use them as you please.” Zero's silhouette then lifted a foot from his space.

.

“What the fuck? Insects? Useless?” inner Nanashi, who was still in his prostration. “Who exactly is this bastard woman behind me? Why did the Emperor obey him so?

“Also... why the Fatty is not...” As soon as he turned his head to the left, the direction where Asuka was, he was shocked to death. “AAAAHH!” his heart seemed to want to be broken.

He saw a very sharp plot, a pale face, also a very angry face with long black hair. The eyeballs even caused veins.

“Who are you?!” Nanashi crawled backwards.

“I heard you very clearly, Insect. You swore at me, didn't you?

"Ha... huh...?" Nanashi did not know why this Dark Lord could know his heart.

“Aware your position. You're just a lowly creature who can't do anything! Look at these insects!" The Dark Lord pointed at Asuka. "He can't even get up or even think! Example him! Otherwise..”.

‘TEK!'

The ruler of Darkness flicked his fingers and instantly, Asuka was no longer formed. His whole body was scattered everywhere.

“Ughp!” looking at it with his eyes head straight on, Nanashi instantly felt nauseous.

“Aaahh.... Nice work! I like that kind of face!

"But it's okay. You won't lose this important partner of yours...."

‘TEK!’

Once again flicking his fingers, the Dark Lord awakened Asuka from the dark purple magic circle that appeared instantly.

Shaking, panicking, running out of words, also desperate. That's what Nanashi feels now.

“Call down and I will give you an easy and fun job for you. Understand?”

Hardly able to nod, Nanashi mute his lips and let his body move.

......................

When the atmosphere of Grandtopia had already slid, the Elves gathered in a circle, asking exactly what was going on. If Reina did not act quickly by telling her other Elf comrades, it might....

“So, Elder... can we know the fact?” ask Aria, “why her .. why did Zeeta become ... Ruler of Darkness—as predicted Feline?”

“It's not completely true.” Reina answered. “That clairvoyance sometimes only gives a tiny bit of vision. The current Zeeta, is still fine.. I guess.” The answer made the Elves even more clueless.

“So ... what does that mean, there are two Zeeta in this world?” ask Aria.

“That's right,” replied Hugo. “The world is being threatened by their existence.”

Again, unexpectedly they, from the blood-soaked body of Nanashi and

Asuka who was located not so far away as it was about to burn, appeared a dark purple magic circle. They rose again—as the Dark Lord did to Asuka....
