Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 64: Aswad 11 of 15 “Glaub mir” (Part 05)

Instantaneous manipulation of substances occurs. Metals that have a solid and hard form are instantly transformed into liquid through the concept of three changes in the form of substances. Right at the place where Odo's palm touched, the armor melted perfectly forming his palm. It was not because of the high temperature or anything like that, but because the shape of the form was forced to change using Aitisal Almaelumat.

“Rapalan mantramu too long ..”

“Cannot ⸻”

Before the elite mage stepped back, Odo steadied the horses of both feet and gathered his strength deep into the tip of the left palm. Using Qigong's breathing technique, the young man instantly emitted shock waves into the body of the elite mage and made him bounce to the dagger and befall his comrades.

Regulating breathing, Odo tightened his leg muscles and squeezed his strength to leap five meters past the soldiers. Being in the air, what the young man was after remained the same as before. He leapt towards King Gaiel, preparing to take him hostage in order to get out of the situation.

However before he landed to the surface, Princess Arteria extended her right hand towards Odo and used her Contract Power. In an unnatural amount, low-level spirits instantly swarmed the young man and made his vision impaired.

He immediately emitted a killing aura to exorcise those low-level spirits. But as the vision recovered, what was waiting in front of him was Dart who had prepared with the horses of the Empty Struggle Technique.

Odo was late to react, his right shoulder and wrist were gripped by the old man. When his foot just got a foothold on the ground, he was immediately pushed back and dropped to the ground.

Not stopping there, Dart immediately used Mana compaction techniques and created chains. As if alive, the chain immediately wrapped around Odo's body and tied it tightly. The young man tried to resist and opened his palm towards the Dart to activate dimensional magic. But quickly, the chain immediately wrapped around and made his hand bend in the wrong direction until it made a fairly clear loose joint sound.

Dart held both ends of the chain, stepped on the bound young man's body and said, “What the fuck are you? You're immortal ..?”

Odo did not reply, only putting on an annoyed expression because his own father did not recognize him at all. The young man stared intently and completely ran out of patience. Using the Activation Element, he directly activated the storage dimensional magic to engulf the Mana compaction chain.

But when the magic structure in the glove is active, the chain reacts and destroys the structure until the magic does not work. Odo was surprised. He immediately knew that the chains that bound him were slightly different from other Mana compaction techniques, possessing the properties of dismantling magic structures even though they were not very strong.

“Dart Luke, you're as stubborn as you are. It's really annoying for you. Incompetence, a poor reflection of the leader …. Though not having the ambition to rule, but occupy an important position and use the others for personal gain.”

While beginning the conversation with provocation, the young man began to analyze the workings of the chains that bound him. At the same time, he also briefly glanced towards the blue-haired female who had previously used spirit magic.

“I have no intention against you, release this chain,” the door while looking back at Dart.

“While you didn't want to fight me, you were clearly aiming for the King, ‘ right? Where could I just let you go, you fool.”

Highlight Odo's eyes instantly turned flat upon hearing that. A glance of indifference filled the young man's mind, then immediately activated Hariq Iliah to collect oxygen around his own body.

“As far as you are, you damn base ..”

Reacting quickly, the blazing flames burned the young man's body and spread out toward Dart. He immediately lifted his foot and leapt back to protect the King and his family, but the right foot that was not wearing footwear was slightly struck by fire and the shoe on the left foot was on fire.

The old man immediately took off his shoes, staring in surprise at the feeling that the burning flames were alive and following the will of the young man in black hair. He stomped his right foot and put out the fire that burned him.

“Why are you even here?!” Dart quickly looked back and warned, “Quick go, this guy is critical …. Day ....”

King Gaiel knew this very clearly. Of all the enemies with high regeneration rates he had fought alongside Dart, the black-haired youth's immortality was truly on a different level. Not retreating because what was behind him was the abyss, the King activated his magic core and prepared to help.

“Wet where is it? He is also a dimensional magic user! Most likely that person could also use teleportation magic,” the King said as he touched Dart's back and used recovery magic. The burn on the right leg of the Luke Family Head quickly healed, though not perfectly and left a slight scar.

The flames that enveloped Odo burned the Mana compaction chain until it melted. From that, he immediately knew that the technique used by Dart could indeed give mass and instill magic effects on the weapons he made. From the weight of the weapon, characteristics to abilities can be created according to the assimilation carried out.

Standing up and seeing the King look so panicked, Odo's fighting intent once again dissipated. He felt uncomfortable in the face of the King, Princess and Prince as if he was really their enemy. When he saw the blue-haired woman who hugged the King tightly, Odo immediately knew that she was indeed the Princess of Arteria.

“Ah, disperse already …. I'd better find a way to use Transformation Magic again and return to the form of children,” Odo's mind with a wry expression.

The young man raised both his hands as a sign of surrender. While showing a resigned and lethargic expression he said, “I give up. If you don't want to let me escape, just arrest me. As you can see earlier, I cannot be killed easily.”

The atmosphere became tense, no one dared to take action even Dart though. Indeed, for him who used to eradicate the Devil is not an easy thing to release people who have the radiance of the existence of creatures from the darkness. However, a fact under that young man indeed could not be killed easily made Dart eliminate the weapon and lower his aura emanation to kill him.

“You think we believe ...?” ask the old man.

Odo knew such a question would definitely come out. Taking out a Potion from the storage dimension, the young man opened the lid and directly threw it towards the three soldiers who suffered burns. The clear liquid was scattered in the air, splashing into those people along with the elite soldiers of Lian and instantly seeping into the body. Although it was not very effective due to the way it was not drunk directly, yet it was enough to make their wounds recover faster than ordinary recovery magic.

The empty glass booth fell down and stopped rolling on the ground, right in front of the elite soldiers. Returning to retrieve the Potion from the storage dimension, the young man in black hair threw it at them as he said, “Use this one for the person who almost fell into the ravine in that corner.” Odo pointed towards the elite soldier with his shield sprawled unconscious.

After doing everything to make them believe that he was not the enemy, Odo thrust his arms forward and said, “Please catch him. But I warn you, you better not torture me or anything like that. There is no guarantee that I will not fight back later ..”.

Neither King Gaiel nor Dart, they knew what the young man was after. From the abilities he possessed, it should be able to easily the young man mess things up and kill the Royal Family. With his immortality, a Dart that had a stamina limit due to age could definitely be defeated if forced to fight continuously.

The King stared intently at the young man, knowing that the young man knew all these things but did not do them. “Why did you give up? Whatdoyouwd? Why did you block our trip?” ask King Gaiel.

King Gaiel felt that what the young man said was very beneficial to him and everyone in the place. At a crucial time like now, it is very detrimental to continue to waste time and get into other problems. But unlike what his King felt, Dart still thought he should not let the young man with the demonic aura continue to roam in his territory.

“You will come with us ...” Dart re-creates Mana compaction chains. The chain moved towards Odo as if it were his own limbs, then tied the hands of the young man with black hair. While staring dislike, Dart again asked, “You what? Your existence is too strange …. A devil? Creatures from the High Dimension? Astral Creatures? What are you?”

Odo only smiled slightly, did not answer and only put on a relieved expression because there should be no bloodshed. Looking towards Princess Arteria, she let out a light sigh as she knew the woman could not see her normally.

“Ayahanda? Is he a giant?” arteria asked tremblingly holding tightly onto King Gaiel's robe.

“Giant ...?”

Odo knew how Princess Arteria saw her, and what she looked like in that blue haired woman. Upon hearing Arteria call him a giant, Odo clearly knew that his future fiance had the ability to see the shape of one's soul.

Smiling kindly at the woman, Odo Luke asked, “Mr Princess? What do I look like?”

Prince Ryan immediately stood in front of his sister, staring at Odo and looking dislike. “Don't talk to my sister! Basic monsters!” he snaps it rough.

“Kakanda ...” Arteria stopped being frightened and began to look astonished. He held his brother's hand and asked him to give the young man a chance to speak with his black hair.

“Arteria ..?” The prince was at a glance confused, but in the end agreed to his sister's request and gave way.

The woman looked at Odo, then opened her eyes that had lost their light and said, “You are like a vast black sea. A giant that is too big …. Too big to the point that the world will crumble and change as you move.”

Both Odo's eyes were beaming at the words. Laughing lightly and putting on a friendly smile again, the young man with great relief said, “Thank you, that makes me a little relieved. I think I've really become a terrible monster ...”

“You are not a monster ..” Arteria shook her head, looked pityingly and reaffirmed, “You are not a terrible figure. You are a cruel figure, but at the same time very sad.”

Princess Arteria walked over, holding Odo's two chained and pitiful hands said, “Layaknya tree that became a playground for children. You were climbed, used for a playground, and treated very badly.”

King Gaiel and Dart were anxious to see their Princess making physical contact with the young man. Dart creates a Mana compaction sword, preparing to be able to slash Odo's head if he commits an act that endangers the Princess.

Not caring about the murderous lust that faintly emanated from the old man from Luke's family, Princess Arteria again said, “Even so, you will still be the tree that gives them fruit to eat. You will always give children kindness …. Unfortunately, such a tree at the end will be cut down and burned while still green ⸻ For the benefit of the Adults.”

Odo was completely unnerved by the way Princess Arteria looked at him. Putting on a knotty smile, the young man in a light tone refuted, “Sadly, if that's you're wrong. I'm not a tree.”

“Heh?”

“I am a box …. The box contains all sorts of tools for everyone who needs them. It could contain a weapon to injure, it could also be a farming tool for gardening or a book to read.”

The sentence made Arteria confused, unable to catch the intent he conveyed. “Box contains all kinds of tools?” tanyanya while slightly tilting her head towards the right.

Odo wants to answer that question. But he heard the voices of the nobles who had been hiding in their chariots starting to come out, the words did not come out of the young man's mouth. He looked back at the King, smiled slightly and asked. “It is better that I am secured immediately. Look, the people you brought are starting to think that you guys really beat me.”

Some nobles began to talk about Dart Luke and the King, they praised as if the famous duet during the Great War had indeed overcome the young man's black hair. Despite seeing what happened from inside the carriage, the nobles did not hear the conversation and casually made the conclusion. Among them, Thomas Rein immediately walked quickly towards the Dart and the King.

“A-Is everything safe, Mr Dart?” ask the Rein Family Head.

Getting a sharp glare from Odo, the old man was forced to lie, “Sure! He's been caught by us!”

Odo turned his head towards Thomas, making the man's hair drizzle stop. In one look, Thomas Rein felt familiar with the appearance of the young man. When looking from inside the train he could not be sure. But looking at it up close like now, he felt that the young man was very similar to Odo Luke ⸻ Single Son of the Luke Family. Black hair and blue eyes, a cold expression and a slightly lazy look, all of which really remembered him with Odo Luke.

Odo held up his two bound hands, then briefly held his right index finger to the front of his mouth and gave the code to ask Thomas Rein to be quiet about his identity. Within seconds the Rein Family Head understood the meaning of the request. He understood that dismantling Odo's identity would have a very negative impact if done in the midst of the nobles who participated in the entourage.

“Crazy, the intuition of the Rein people is everything like this?” odo's mind lowered his hand.

Pretending not to notice it, the Rein Family Head asked, “Your Majesty wants to do what to this young man? Are you going to take him to Luke's residence as well?”

“Of course not.” King Gaiel separated the young man's hand from his daughter. Holding Arteria, with a look of dislike he decided, “This young man will temporarily be sent to prison in the city of Mylta until his engagement is over. Some soldiers will drop him off, then ..”

King Gaiel stared at the Dart, feeling that the old man also had to watch over the young man.

“Hmm, of course I will also watch him.”
