Chapter 7 (1/2)
”You...Marcus, you are the next guardian.”
Marcus stared blankly at those words.
”Haha, I knew you won't understand this promptly”
”No I get it, I am the next guardian and I gotta protect the Earth”
”Eh?..Then??”
”You were repeating this for like the last 10 minutes or so...Duh”
”Oh...Um”
The Old man, Caught by surprise, stared at the ground awkwardly.
'That attitude change was something else'
the old man thought.
'Probably because he thought he was dead. But he just.... Aaargh, it makes no sense'
”Yep, So you got it huh?.... I did not expect that at all”
The Old man walked towards the throne and stood beside it.
”Do you know who I am?”
”Nope...No idea at all”
The Old man fixed his gaze on Marcus and opened his left fist while keeping his right behind him.
A blue flame puffed from his hand and it grew vigorously like it was being fed an Infinite number of firewood and fuel.
After almost growing to a size of a *Molskus*. The flame vaporized slowly and started forming into a Blue figure. It looked like a human, But it did not have any details. It was a plain body with hands, Legs, and Blue Flames raging from Its head, Like Hair.
The Old man looked at Marcus's face and chuckled again at his expression.
”Now do you get it? My identity?”
”Mm...Nope”
Marcus replied scratching his chin and staring blankly at the flaming human figure.
”Hmph, Kids these days, Don't care about their Ancestors and their history.”
He murmured.
'SNAP'
The Old Timer snapped his finger once. The Sound echoed throughout the Dungeon and Marcus's ear rang.
Hundreds of Blue figures appeared behind the Old man. He then Paced slowly over to the throne and Sat, Posing gracefully in front of Marcus and snapped his fingers again.
The Old Man's body started to change, He grew a bit tall and became buff. His Robe came loose and fell revealing his buffed chest and ripped Abs.
Flames engulfed his lower body and formed themselves like a Pant. A Flaming dragon that glowed blue was etched on his Right hand, Which started from his shoulder and ran all the way and ended at his wrist.
He had his eye color changed to blue which by itself intimidated Marcus. His Hair flamed and changed to blue. It kept on burning like the other Flame figures which were present beside him. Everything about the man had changed.
Old? Nah! The dude was Handsome and Young Af now.
The Hundreds of figures which had formed before bowed down behind the New Man.
”Now Marcus, I ask you again. Who.Am.I?”
His eyes widened as he recognized the man before him.
”The..Fla...Flame Emperor?”
”CORRECT!!”
The Old man clapped and the whole room went 'BOOM' Marcus held on to his Dear life and gripped the grass patch as he tried to stop himself from being flung away by the tremendous pressure.
The Old man spotted Marcus struggling and snapped his fingers again.
”Sorry, my bad”
The pressure died down within a second and Marcus was relieved.
He thought about the man who was gracefully sitting in front of him. Even the Rock throne itself was burning violently.
Flame Emperor, The strongest man in history. The Flame Emperor ruled the Lands of Krozon during 200 TFP (The Flame period) almost a thousand years ago. History states that he left the throne and handed it over to the Richard Family, Who have succeeded the throne up till now, and Gabriel was one of them.
Professor Roark who was the History Teacher had emphasized mainly The acts of the Flame Emperor and The (TFP) period. The Flame Emperor was believed to have awakened a Seed greater than a Legendary seed on his own.
A CHEAT SEED.
Holding Immense power in his hands, The Flame Emperor dominated every rank of Dungeons. He was finally rumored to have entered an SC rank dungeon, which had appeared for the first time during that time.
