[Levantine residence on an island.].
In it, this family remains preoccupied by their family conditions. Not about financial or health issues, but because of lineage. The cause of the return of Karim Levant—the head of the family before his son, Lowen Levant, took his place as an ordinary human—was due to the oath relating to their lineage.
According to Lowen, the oath is a curse that forces them to be unable to help or save loved ones. Zeeta is one of them. However, the facts about this oath are unknown to his twins, Edward and Ella. Both of them already have a black mark on the back of— which means the oath has tied them up as well.
Based on Lowen's revelation to the main nobleman five years ago, when after Karim lost his power, the condition of the oath to the Levant was to be twelve years old.
That means, by the time Karim lost his powers, his two grandchildren were already bound by the Levant Oath.
This oath also forced the Levant to only act when the kingdom was truly in danger. Like when Aurora the arrival of Lucy a.k.a Marianna and a short war that occurred between them and Hollow troops.
Lowen also had time to tell the main nobles, if this oath also has a connection with the history of the formation of the kingdom.
And at this time, nobles as important and as powerful as the Levant, in the midst of the precarious situation to face Ragnarok who might come at any time, this family gathered at Karim's request.
......................
"Dad, we've got together" said Lowen, who had just arrived with the family.
Karim, who was accompanied by his wife Agatha, immediately welcomed them. "Sit down" she asked.
"Is Grandpa okay?" ask Ella. He was worried about his grandfather, who was lying on the bed. He knew his grandfather was like this after a mess involving a "natural disaster" five years ago.
The Twins also do not know the real reason why their grandfather continued like this. Sometimes he was fine, but they realized that his grandfather was not as dashing as usual.
Although they had asked his parents and grandmother, their answer was, "This is because he lost strongly to your older cousin, Azure. But, don't blame him because your grandfather knows his pay is like this."
Thus, they did not try to dig any deeper about his grandfather.
"Tell me what Aurora's current situation and condition is like. Since a few days ago, I've always heard a great noise all over the kingdom."
Lowen stared at his wife, Claudia, for a moment. Both of them nodded, then told me everything.

"The time has come!"
It was at this moment that the other members of the Levant family stared fearfully and dead-end at what to do.
Karim pointed at the painting in front of him. A large painting in a vertical position. The painting depicts a giant tree surrounded by grass. According to them, there is nothing special about the painting, even the color is ordinary and common.
"Listen to me, Lowen, Edward, Ella." Karim stared straight at the so-called name turns.
"We heard, Cake," Edward replied.
"Whatever happens in the kingdom, or whatever the situation is going on, stay here. Protect this residence.
"The time is coming."
All three frowned. However, Lowen's pain has a different meaning. "I understand. Then I'll tell this to brother."
"Eh...?" The twins are confused. "Why was Uncle Hazell taken?" ask them simultaneously.
Lowen glanced at Karim. He awaits his father's decision.
"Go, son," Karim replied, "let Agatha and Chloe tell them."
"As your request, Father." Lowen then lifted his feet from his room.
The Twins looked at each other. "What is this ...? Is there something you're hiding from us?" ask Edward.
"I wouldn't be quiet if it had something to do with Brother Zeeta," Ella continued, "he's being—"
"Your job is to kill Zeeta" said Agatha, who was immediately responded by the two.
"HUH...?!" Edward, who was emotionally stirred, stood up.
"W-what does this mean, Nek Aga?!" snarled Ella, "what is Grandma serious about saying that?! Surely Grandma knows, 'that Brother Zeeta is now in the—"
'DWMAAMM!!'
The huge explosion aborted the tense atmosphere inside the room. "What was that?!" ask Ella.
Agatha bluffing teeth. "Is there really no other way, honey?!"
"A... What does that mean...?" a trembling voice could be heard from Edward.
"Hey, Mama!" ella exclaimed, "is Mama also keeping something from us?!"
Claudia looked into her daughter's emotional eyes. "That's right."
"WHY?!" tears immediately trickled down as Ella shouted. Karim was even surprised by it.
"For five years now, Edward and I have been training and training to help Zeeta who is always on the front line!
"Of course you realize, don't you, that he could hardly spend his time with us!
"Even with aunt and uncle!
"What he did was never far away from his frontline counterparts, such as Crescent Void, Spirit Yggdrasil, the prince of Nebula, and those others!
"You should also be aware of how carefree sister Zeeta has never seen again! He always hid his burden behind a smile!
"Lantas, what the fuck was that saying?!"
Karim took a breath so that he could be relieved to say what he was about to release. However, a sudden wind struck them all—though there was deep within the building.
"I am the Wind Ancient Spirit, Zephyr! Listen to the message of the Water Ancient Spirit, Undine, who is on the battlefield!
"For those of you who can hear this voice, do not let the two Zeetas clash with each other! Otherwise, Ragnarok will come!"
All that was there was wide open and silenced by a thousand words.
"Two ... Zeeta...?" Karim doesn't know about this.
Edward and Ella, who heard the words "battle field", regardless of their mother and grandparents, immediately abandoned them.
"Tu-wait! Edward! Ella! claudia's screams were in vain.
"DAMN VOWS!!" now it was Karim who screamed. His wife and daughter-in-law were shocked to see him cry.
"Oh my ancestor...! Why do you bind us with this oath...?
"We will lose the family we love so much when we bow to this oath!
"But we cannot deny it, for this power is necessary...!
"When did you know about the clairvoyant Yggdrasil, you were actually allies .. or enemies?!"
......................
Just like what happened to the Levant family, those who were currently near Zeeta heard Zephyr's voice.
Unfortunately, their condition is uncertain. The blood kept pouring out, even though their eyes were still open, and some were still trying to get up.
The Ruler of Darkness certainly heard it. He grins. "Hear that? Our existence is truly threatening the world! Ahaha!
"The whole of Galdurheim must have heard the wind from Zephyr. That means, if Ragnarok really happened after you and I fought each other magic, then ...."
The grin of the Dark Lord slowly faded as he did not get any response from Zeeta. His body is now the same as when he was possessed by Ifrit when dealing with L'arc or when borrowing his powers against Belle.
Zeeta is slightly hovering above the ground. The ground was burning and blackened as a red aura flashed on it. His head was overgrown with a pair of horns, his moon earrings turned red.
Not only did it affect itself, the Catastrophe Seal that was now hovering nearby also underwent a change. The huge scythe was enveloped in two embers of fire—blue on the blade and red on the rest of the body.
"You want to show off with that power? Free! You won't be able to password—"
'SRRAA!!!'
The Darkness Ruler. The sound of a sharp blade that seemed to split something sounded very loud in the left ear. When he turned his head, he was shocked because the land had become an abyss.
Not long after....
'BWUUMMM!'
The blue flame followed with its high explosion and forced the Dark Lord to whimper over the heat. He immediately moved away and bluffed his teeth. "Damn it! Since when did he swing his scythe?!"
When he got away, he smiled. "But ... don't think I won't give you a fight!"
The Ruler of Darkness activated his Catastrophe Seal. It was dark black in color, even as if it did not have the density of— like black smoke grasped.
"Prepare for the payback, Zeeta!" he was riding, about to swing from the bottom to the top of his scythe.
