Chapter Two: The Blade and the Shadow
Albert had barely caught his breath after awakening his powers when the ground shook beneath the feet of the T-Reagle Clan. From a black spatial portal, a group of warriors emerged, clad in silver armor bearing the "Scales of Justice" emblem—they were the emissaries of the Isles of Justice.
"Albert T-Reagle," their leader said in a gruff voice, "you have awakened a forbidden energy that transcends the boundaries of the 'Beginning Continent.' You must immediately surrender the Spiritual and Golden Book for investigation."
Eileen (Albert's mother) stepped forward angrily, but Albert placed a hand on her shoulder. He felt something strange; the "Blue and Golden Light Blade" in his hand began to throb. He didn't need to learn swordsmanship; the legacy of his ancestors flowed through his veins like ancient memories.
The First Battle: The leader charged with the speed of a "Master" (Level 3), but Albert used the skill "Light Transmission." In a flash, he vanished from his position and reappeared behind his opponent. With an instinctive movement, he unleashed the "Dragon Aura." A spiritual roar paralyzed the attackers.
"This isn't fair," the leader muttered, collapsing to his knees. "How can a fourteen-year-old possess such a sovereign aura?"
Suddenly, Maria intervened, using nature's mana to restrain the others. "Don't kill them, Albert," she told Albert. "If you do, the ruling families will declare all-out war on our clan!"
Albert sheathed his blade, but his eyes shone with a golden light. "They already declared war, Maria... the moment they decided to steal my destiny."
