A month has passed since Ilex executed him, Angel sat on a table in a hunter guild at Graywood Village. Now, he lived under the name Zel, taken from his middle name Raizel. He's a dead man, it's better for him to stay dead until he need to show himself.

After that incident he realized there's so many changes in him, his regeneration was faster than normal humans, his endurance increased and there were no poisons that affected him anymore. But the most significant is, a mysterious power that comes from the dark crystal inside him, allowing him to use magic. But there is a little difference between his power and an ordinary magic user.

A magic user, use their magic power to gather the energy around them and converts it into the power they want. While, his dark aura taken his own energy and converts it directly into the power he want, that's why he doesn't need casting time like an ordinary magic user.

But of course, the greater the power the greater it will cost. If a magic user runs out their magic power, they simply can't use their magic temporarily until their energy recovers, but him...it will cost his life.

After he gained this power, he had difficulty to controlling it. His dark aura keeps leaked out and made frightening atmosphere around him, as the result everyone is afraid of him, it takes a month for him to be able to control his power properly.

"Your hair color remind me of someone." said a hunter named Armie who sat beside him.

He turned his gaze to Armie as he waited for him to continue.

Armie leaned his face slightly towards him and gave him a serious look.

"The second Prince of Asteria, Angelus Raizel Reinheart. Have you heard the news? A month ago, he tried to started a rebellion and King of Asteria sent his cousin, Ilex Ferris Reinheart to execute him. Now he is dead. Well... A greedy person like him deserve to die." he said accompanied by his awkward laughter.

"I already heard the news. Thank you for your information." he replied formally.

The news about his rebellion has been spread across Andromeda Continent, they not only killed him, but also tarnished his reputation. He had heard this news so many times but for some reason he felt nothing. He didn't feel sad or angry about it.

But then Armie realized his words could hurt Angel's feeling.

"But it's doesn't mean you also a bad person like him, erm... your hair color also resembles our late prince, he's a good person." he swiftly added.

Suddenly the guild master approached them to deliver their drink.

"Don't talk about other kingdoms, we better look at our kingdom situation. Since King Xenos took the throne eight years ago, Euphorion is in a mess. That idiot king only knows how to took our tax and play with some woman, now he even think want to start a war with another kingdom. "

Armie placed his index finger on his lips in panic.

"Sttt!!!" He looked around to checked is anyone heard their conversation, but lucky the bar condition was noisy since it's full of people who want to take shelter from the rain, then he turned his eyes back to the guild master.

"Master, are you crazy? What if an official hear us? You gonna be executed! "

"What can I said? It's a fact! " the guild master replied in annoyance as he casually took a seat on their table.

Angel kept silent as he listened their conversation.

Armie frowned to the guild master as he let out a sigh.

"What can we do? It's the late king decision. He also desperated because he lost his only son. Moonfall Family doesn't have any descendant anymore. If he doesn't make this decision, Euphorion will still in power struggle right now."

"King Xenos is not from Moonfall Family?" he said out of blue.

The guild master and Armie turned their gaze to him at the same time.

"Of course not!" They said together.

He startled with their reaction.

"There's no way that idiot king from a royal family. He just lucky to get the throne. " the guild master continued.

Armie nodded at the guild master words.

"Since his only son died, the late king of Euphorion, King Eiron Magus Moonfall changed the rule for taking the throne. He imprison his four elemental spirit in the castle main tower, thus who can defeat them and make them admit him as their master will be the King of Euphorion, he also become Moonfall Family." he added.

Now, it's the guild master who nodded his head to Armie words.

"Yes, but who know a strong random tyrant showed up and defeat them." the guild master continued.

Kingdom of Euphorion has long been closed to other kingdoms, he only knew a little information about them. The only thing he knew, if Asteria had the Reinheart Family who specialized in using swords as its ruler, then Euphorion had the Moonfall Family who specialized in using four elemental spirits. In other words, Kingdom of Euphorion's ruler must be an extraordinary magic user to be able to control them. But this was the first time he had heard about the rules for taking the throne is not based on bloodlines.

"The late king of Euphorion must be so desperate to find a legitimate person to succeeded his throne."

"Is King Xenos strong? " he asked again.

Armie breathed a heavy sigh.

"I hate to admit it, but yea... He's strong... His power is about the same as the late king's son Prince Lucian. "

The guild master looked down with regretful expression.

"If only Prince Lucian didn't die that young. Euphorion should be in its golden age right now."

Angel turned his gaze to the guild master.

"What happened to the prince?"

The guild master and Armie exchanged gaze with puzzled expression, before they turned their gaze back to him.

"Ah.... I forgot you not from Euphorion. Of course you haven't heard about it since they covered the news." said the guild master.

"You know... Ten years ago, King Eiron send his only son Prince Lucian Crimson Moonfall to a mission at a forest near Pearl Gate City. Actually it's not a heavy mission, considering Prince Lucian is an expert magic user. But, the mission turned wrong...they been attacked by a mysterious shadow. The prince and all of his troops die in that attack, since then King Eiron blamed himself and fell sick, then he died two years later. " Armie explained.

He frowned and his expression turned serious after he heard Armie words.

"A mysterious shadow? "

Armie leaned his face towards him and gave him another serious look.

"Yes. A witness said that shadow moved really fast and his eyes glowing in red. " he answered.

Angel's eyes widened as his heart pound faster.

"Glowing red? Are you sure about that?"

Armie nodded while kept his serious look.

"Yes, according to the witness is."

Suddenly, he stood up from his seat.

"Can you tell me who the witness is and where he lives now? "

The guild master and Armie looked confused with his sudden reaction.

"He's Chay Fadington from Pearl Gate City." Armie said.

He placed a coin on the table.

"Thank you for your information." he said as he ran to the exit.

"Hey! How about your tea?" shouted the guild master.

"It's yours!" he replied without turned his gaze to him.

Angel opened the door, the rain is still pouring down heavily. He ran through the rain, but strangely the rain water just flowed down before reaching him, it's just like there's a invisible barrier around him.

"Ten years ago... that meant it happened at the same time when he attacked me and father. It's possible the shadow that attacked Prince Lucian and us are the same person. At last, I get some information about that mysterious shadow. "
