Chapter 692 Initiating the operations

[OP: ]

At the highest peak of the centre of the capital city of Lakmer, a flat ground existing on top of the grand pillar of the colosseum, looking down at the gorgeous city, some individuals had gathered in this place on a night of full blue moon, which, for some reason, seemed brighter than usual.

The moon seemed to be loser to them even though it wasn't a night of 'the great moon' tonight.

The spots on its surface were visible as well, and there were nearly no clouds to block this moon like yesterday night where the sky was covered in thicker clouds.

The sky was clear, stars were sparking normally, the city was bustling with the nightly activities of the people, and, since tomorrow was the last day of the annual alchemy competition, the people were going around shopping with greater enthusiasm than the previous night.

The annual alchemy operation would conclude tomorrow, so, this was the perfect time for the people to go around with their family and friends and experience the joys and lights of the city's night.

That was, perhaps, the main reason the evil had chosen this night as their D-day.

"They have begun, master."

Miss Moon was shining like a moon under this moonlight as she stood behind Eon and Rein, awaiting their command like everyone else present here.

"Then, we shall begin as well," he said, a serious expression on his face, his heart pounding faster, his glowing red eyes fixed faraway beyond the walls of the city, in the forest where evil had started their march.

"Please, get ready everyone."

-Ooooooooooooooong!

He stood before his companions, before his partner and beloved, before his friends and people he will one day face as opponents.

He stood before them all as the one holding the most responsibility as their 'operator' tonight, and, he knew there were going to be casualties...

He did not like this fact, however, he knew if he was to keep the casualties to as minimum as possible, he will have to cause many miracles on tonight's battlefield.

And, he was ready for it.

"Oh... my lord. Is that really what I think it is?"

"To think we would see an ancient relic tonight..."

"How could something so precious be in the possession of someone so... unrelated to it?"

"No no, my lord. I think you are mistaking something here."

He took out a giant musical instrument that resembled a great harp, clad in the brightest silver that shone like white gold under the serene moonlight consisting of hundreds of strings made of shining gold, covered in attractive jewels so precious looking that even the demons and angels in the higher realms would envy it.

There were ancient ruins engraved all over this three metre tall instrument, and, although it was extravagantly decorated and possessed an ethereal, surreal air to it, it was a relic of the past that some experts present here recognised perfectly.

"Arc of Jen is an artifact that was said to have possessed by one of the saints of old times. However, according to some stories, she did not use it as just a musical instrument. I have heard that much, however, what do you mean I am mistaken, your majesty?" One of the eastern masters questioned emperor August, however, before he could answer, another eastern masters who was also an archer, answered to him.

"Arc of Jen is an artifact with strings," he said, his voice containing a kind of excitement that was hard to believe in the situation we all were in.

However, his answer was enough of a hint for the others to guess what Eon was about to do now.

"Gwen," he called out a name, and, as if responding to his call, the great artifact shone with a bright light so strong, it illuminated the entire arena below them.

-Oooooooooong.

And, as if too have taken it's true form, the harp started glowing with silver-gold lights, becoming countless times more precious than what it seemed to be just a moment ago.

-Swiiiiiiiish~!

The winds had changed their directions, the runes on the artifact had started glowing with unique lights, and the entire area became warmer as if some divine entity had blessed this place.

The two notes he had played just now were strong enough to affect even people like them, even with the protection of the harp's light, so, it was obvious how much effective they must have been to the normal people of this city.

And, considering how these two notes had resonated far beyond the walls of this city, they knew it was time for the operation to commence.

-Gaaaa...

-Ooooooooong!

"Let's begin, everyone. Let us achieve beyond what fate has decided for all of us."

The third note resonated in the space all around the city and, as if time had stopped, everything from the noises to the very air froze in its place.

"See ya soon, darling~. Umha~."

And then, with her last words to her darling, Rein vanished in the shadows with an excited expression, ready to reach the place she was assigned before he began the first song of the night.

-Ooooooooooong...!

And, right behind her, the others also vanished after grasping the situation as the citizens of the city, as if to have remembered something, started walking in different directions along with their children, family, and friends.

-Boooooooooooom!

Large explosions had started all around the city as well at this moment, however, the others should have secured their assigned positions now that a moment had passed.

[[ "Celes, Lucy. Please take care of me." ]]

[[ Of course master~! Do not worry at all~! ]]

[[ *Master, shall I take over?* ]]

'No, Lucy. We don't need that yet.'

[[ *Alright then I will analyse the situation in the red zone.* ]]

'That would be better.'

The enemy had started moving, their resistance forces were in position, the opposition had already made the first move, so, they could now initiate their operations.

"Huuuu..."

The grand harp, almost twice his size, made up of nine pedals and a hundred and two strings, looked perfect when he sat behind it with his hands aligned on the strings.

It was a unique relic different from the usual musical instruments as the main function of the relic was not the music itself, but instead, combat and support.

-Saa. Reee. Ga. Maaa. Reee...

"Good."

This was a weapon, his second favourite bow.

It turned his Solnova into magical arrows when played in a perfect manner, so, his pure magic archery was the best when using this weapon.

However, to use that power, he had to use this perfectly.

[[ "What song do you want, Rein?" ]]

[[ "Hehe, surprise me~!" ]]

[[ "Alright then." ]]

Thankfully, his master had drilled everything she knew about this artifact into his very soul after months of hellish training.

-Saaa. Ree~. Saaa~. Ree~. Saaaa~!

And, this instrument was one thing he had almost surpassed her in, at the end of their training...
