Chapter 42: The Court of Saviors

The young man named Atlas, was walking together with two kids at the moment. Behind them, two guys were following in the shadows, only the young man noticed them.

"So, how strong are you? If we were to compare you to one of those bastards from the Black Tower, I mean? Asvin, and father said that I am in the lower 0th Star position, do you think that's true? And, actually, have you fought against those Magicians before?", asked Matthew as he continued walking.

Even Roden felt it was hard to keep up with all those questions, still, Atlas responded quickly, "I have fought against them, it was about a year ago, during one of our hunts of their groups, and I managed to kill a weak Third Star at the time. So, now, I would say, I am either a medium, or high rank, Third Star!".

"And from what I saw of the battle that day, I would say that your father and Asvin are correct in their judgment, though I think you would be considered medium if you could fight even better when under the same conditions as earlier!".

'Hah! Wow, I just have to stop getting scared by such fights, and then, I would be a medium 0th Star, won't I?', thought the nine-year-old excitedly. "From the amount of the One Power traveling around you, I would say you can reach Seventh, or even, an Eight Star, if you try hard enough! In other words, you could be the next White Dragon!", added the young man.

"Hmm! The White Dragon, I have never really heard about him, but, why is he called like that? Did he kill an actual white dragon? Where did he find one? Aren't they all hiding away in fear?", asked Roden.

Matthew added, "The Great Empire is terrifying, isn't it? They try and enslave every dragon they find! And if the dragon resists, the Dragon Slayer, well, slays it!". Atlas nodded, "Yes, still, the Dragon Slayer is one of the few forces of good left in this world, few can fight against the likes of the Emperor of the Sea, or the Dark Crow!".

And unfortunately, most of them, are either evil, like the Mother of Spiders! Or not on our side, like the king of the Vampires! And so, even though I personally never liked him, the Dragon Slayer, is one of the few humans who can protect us from such calamities!".

Matthew smiled, as he said, "Don't worry! I will reach that level too, and soon, the name, The Red Sorcerer, will be known throughout the world. Just like all those others! Also, is the Black Emperor just as strong, or is he stronger than Emperors? And, can you answer the question about the White Dragon?".

Atlas smiled as he looked at the young boy beside him, 'I mean, he does have unparalleled talent when it comes to magic, so there is a chance what he just said will come true, but at the same time, I feel it's impossible, or else, it would mean I will be seeing the rise of the likes of the Dragon Slayer!'.

The young man continued smiling, and said, "As for the White Dragon, he is called like that, because, he owns a white dragon! He killed the mother of this dragon, because it had gone insane, and was about to destroy a city! In the Dragon's final moments".

"It entrusted her child to this man, remember, there are some dragons that can speak and think just like us, it's just that the ones at the empire are all monsters! Anyway, because he killed a white dragon, and has a white dragon, he's called, The White Dragon!".

"As for your other question, it should be obvious for the answer, of course the Black Emperor is stronger than the other ones! He didn't rule one place like all the others do, which is also why we refer to them as Emperors! Instead, he ruled the entire world!".

"He had two soldiers as strong as those Emperors under him, and he himself, was a way stronger being than them! His little brother, called the Lord of Darkness is another monster on his level! Read up about them, and you will be shocked!".

"The Black Emperor's father, though, is probably the strongest to ever live! A silver dragon called Arakh Tohn! The Black Emperor, is also a Drago! He could turn into a black dragon, a dragon that ruled all dragons at the time! So just try and imagine how strong, he, and his army were, to be able to rule the entire world!".

'Hah! Wow! This, this is scary! And, I said I will defeat him if he returns? The Dark Crow is already scary enough for me, but the Black Emperor, he's just in another realm of power altogether! Still... If he were to return... But, not even the Squad of Dawn could kill him!'.

'I don't know, for now, let me focus on becoming stronger! I have to take my revenge on The Black Tower first!', thought Matthew, as he just gained new information on how tough his goal will be.

The three continued moving forward, and spoke a little bit more, until finally, they reached the back wall of the Charlton family. Somehow, no one noticed them. The two kids, had no idea that the Chief Guard of the mansion ordered the guards to go away.

There, close to the wall, was a little ladder, Matthew was a bit surprised, as he asked, "How did you get this here?", to which, Roden replied, while smiling, "I have my ways! I paid the maid 20 gold to put it here, and she did!".

Matthew felt like something didn't make enough sense here, still, he ignored it as he heard the boy in front of him say, "Ahm! So, I... Would you like to meet again?". Matthew smiled, and nodded.

He then said, "Of course, I do! Why don't we meet in three days at my house, even if you don't know where it is... Oh! But, then, how will we say we met? How about this, let's go out with guards tomorrow, we'll meet at the same street where I saved you from those three boys!".

Roden's eyes brightened, as he said, "Yes, and we will meet there, for, the "First time", then we can become friends in front of the others, a brilliant idea!". Matthew smiled, as he remembered when he used to do such tricks back in Ronia village.

Before it burned in the Black Fire! Instantly, the happy smile disappeared from his face. He turned around, not to let Roden see his expression, and said, "Well, meet you tomorrow then!".

Roden nodded, and said, "Okay! Thanks again for saving me earlier!". Matthew started walking with the young man, as he responded, "You're welcome!". With that, the nine-year-old, and Atlas, left the Charlton family's estate.

Now, they continued toward the mansion belonging to the black wolf's family, the Ankston family. "So, what is the Court of Saviors about, really? I only know that it is a place where knights train to become strong, they then become soldiers, Policeman, or something like that, in one of the four human kingdoms on the continent!", asked the young boy.

"Well, it's something like that. The Court of Saviors was founded by a very strong knight three hundred years ago! He was a legend at the time, do you know that even the Fierce Lion trained there? Very few of the strongest of swordsman haven't trained there! Have you heard about the Shadow Assassin?".

Matthew nodded, he had heard that this man was an evil existence that had assassinated a noble. That noble was known as a good man among the people, and unfortunately, the Shadow Assassin wanted to make some evil deals with him, when he was refused, the Assassin killed the noble.

That event was known as the Great Terror! The King, and the King's Power were there, and still, no one could do a thing against this one man. The Shadow Assassin, was so strong, he played with the King's Power, and spared him for some unknown reason.

The young man smiled, and said, "You might not know this, but the Shadow Assassin also trained there! I am telling you, almost every strong swordsman has trained there!". Atlas was puffing his chest out in pride while speaking.

In the next second, though, the nine-year-old said something that made the young man freeze in his tracks.

"Then, what about the strongest fighter in the world, The Dragon Slayer?". Atlas could only smile awkwardly, as he said, "Well, not that one, he trained in the Great Empire, their swordsmanship is said to rival the knights of the Court of Saviors!".

"But, he did fight with Sword Master once, and it was a tie! Yes, that was before he become an Emperor, but still! He isn't the best swordsman, he might be stronger, but Sword Master, from his name, is the best swordsman in the world!".

"Even the Dragon Slayer adimitted that!", said Atlas, turning into a young boy trying his hardest to defend his team.

"So then, what you're saying, is that, the Court of Saviors has the strongest swordsmen in this continent, but not in the other two?". The young man gulped, and confirmed this by saying, "Y... Yes! But, we are considered to be better!".

Matthew chuckled lightly, as he said, he started having fun teasing this young man, "By whom? By our continent? Of course, you would be considered like that!". Atlas sighed, he had nothing to say anymore, the child was right in what he said.

And so, the two continued walking, until they finally reached the Ankston family mansion. They were, of course, at the back wall. Again, there were no guards here, but since Matthew hadn't found any when he snuck out, he didn't find the situation to be suspicious the least bit.

The young nine-year-old smiled at Atlas, and said, "I will tell Asvin you said you're stronger, so prove it if we meet again!". The man seemed to get shivers down his spine, he could only form a fake smile, and reply, "Ha! Yeah, I will try to!".

Matthew used the spell Levitating, to float over the wall, and back inside the mansion's grounds, he said one final goodbye, even though he couldn't see the young man, and then returned to the house.

Atlas smiled, and thought, 'This boy is special for sure, Vin!'. He then, procceded to disappeare without a trace. In the shadows, was a middle-aged man who was smiling, it was Gleeward.

'If you had stayed, I would have given you a new saber as thanks for the help, but, like always, you leave as soon as you can, Atlas!'.
