Chapter 5: Ouroboros

Some time ago…

"Unusual magic fluctuations were detected."

Looking at the tall tower reaching the sky in the distance, the middle-aged man covered in metal armor said solemnly.

He had a handsome face, with a knife mark between his eyebrows.

Wrapped in a big cloak, there is a huge sword on his back, standing on the earth like a god of war.

"Is it a disaster?"

Behind him, a small team of several people walked up slowly.

The leading female ranger looked at him with a worried expression.

"Perhaps we should go and have a look." The man said, "After all, the Tower of Babel is something that has existed in the last era. We can't guarantee that something will never appear there. Disasters have become more frequent recently, and the federal principalities have begun to improve their war preparedness.

alert."

"What if it gets worse and what comes out of there is more trouble than we thought?"

Hearing this, the man turned around and looked at the group of people behind him.

This group of team members are all young people, and they can be considered outstanding young people in the Federation.

This time I went out with him to practice my own abilities, and at the same time I came to see the rumored disaster.

The identities of several of them were even more extraordinary, and even he found them troublesome.

If you are familiar with the legendary powerhouses of the Principality of Imeka, you will definitely be shocked when you see this group of people.

The legendary strongman of the Imakka Federal Principality, the strongest swordsman Crow who once single-handedly fought off disasters, now appears in the peaceful place of the Tower of Babel.

Since the Twilight Era, the entire world has been facing various disasters. Whether it is natural disasters, terrifying monsters or even demons, people collectively refer to them as disasters.

But since the discovery of the Tower of Babel, there has never been any disaster around it.

As for why this phenomenon occurs, some say it is because this is the domain of gods, while others say it is because it is a defense facility left by humans in the previous era.

But the exact reason has always been a mystery.

And as one of the few legendary strong men in mankind, Crowe did not open up the border of the principality. But he came here. There must be something hidden in it.

"No matter what happens, you must obey my orders." The middle-aged man said calmly. "I tell you again, this is not a simulation exercise for you at school, nor is it a game of house."

"But facing the test of life and death, it is the duty to maintain the peace of the principality."

"If you haven't even made this mental preparation, I advise you not to think about joining the Border Knights to fight against the disaster. What you should do is to return home and be a good boy."

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a young man stood up with a blushing face.

He looked at the middle-aged man and said loudly: "Uncle Crow, although you are a legend in the Federation, I don't think my consciousness is any worse than yours."

The middle-aged man named Crow looked at the young man and smiled after a moment of silence: "Are you Skavi's nephew?"

"I still like the name you call me, Throck Wayne." The young man said loudly. "Although I also know how important my uncle is to the principality, I am not necessarily worse than my uncle in the future."

"Slok, I remember what you said." Crowe nodded and didn't say anything else.

He got on his horse and looked at the tall tower in the distance.

Crowe said: "Let's go while it's still dark."

The group of people galloped towards the tower.

Slok was riding on the horse, his blood boiling in his heart.

He is the nephew of the legendary Grand Magister Skavi and a graduate of the highest magic academy in the principality.

But no one wants to live in the shadow of others, even though he received a lot of preferential treatment because of his uncle Skavi.

Slok is a proud man, and he wants to engrave his name on the monument of the principality.

He also wants the world to know that the Venn family is not just a legend of Skavi.

This time the principality sent people to investigate the magic anomaly in the Tower of Babel, and Slok took the initiative to sign up.

Although he doesn't have much practical experience yet.

The closer I get to the Tower of Babel, the more I am amazed at its magnificence.

No one can imagine that this tower has been erected here for tens of thousands of years.

When the Principality of Imeka was established, it was located in the northernmost part of the Principality.

It is said that those who climb the Tower of Babel can see Odel, the Mother of the Earth, and gain protection from the Mother Goddess.

But this is just a legend so far.

Because no one can come out of the Tower of Babel.

Everyone who entered the Tower of Babel never came out again.

Walking near the Tower of Babel, I looked up at the building known as the Tower of Babel.

Crowe's expression became darker and darker.

He felt an indescribable wave of magic energy overflowing from the tower, which was a feeling of emptiness and nothingness.

This kind of disorderly fluctuation only appears in those terrible disasters.

Crow stopped his horse and looked at the arch of the Tower of Babel.

"Is there anything?" The female ranger beside her glanced at Crowe.

"...I feel that something is coming out."

Crowe put his hands behind his back and looked at the Tower of Babel warily.

Just as he finished speaking, a strange figure appeared in the suddenly opened door of the Tower of Babel.

Crow's eyes narrowed and he shouted angrily: "Level 1 tactical formation! Detection magic is on!"

The young people were stunned for a while, and then quickly stood guard in various places in a fighting posture.

For different levels of disasters, the Border Knights use different tactics.

The first-level tactical formation is already the highest level in the Federation.

Crow, this legendary strong man, is facing a formidable enemy at this moment.

As soon as they set up their formation, everyone saw strange figures making incomprehensible actions towards them, and uttering blasphemous words that shocked both the body and mind. They could not understand or explain:

"Καλ??γρ?φει?."

Whether it was the weird and twisted movements or the unresponsive magic element detection response, Crowe was shocked.

Crowe was once lucky enough to see natural disasters, which were terrifying and devastating.

Now he felt something similar from this mysterious man, which contained the same magic element as the storm.

This is a city-destroying disaster, Crowe thought to himself.

Even the legendary strong man would not dare to defeat a city-destroying disaster.

Crowe is ready to sacrifice.

In this era, anyone can be sacrificed.

The meaning of sacrifice exists for everyone.

As long as the human race can continue to exist in this world, no one will care even if half of humanity is sacrificed.

But when Crowe heard the strange and unpleasant sound of this disaster, like sandpaper rubbing against glass, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

It is rumored that there is an extremely powerful giant snake sealed in the distant sea.

It once surrounded the Targon Mountains in distant times, devouring the foundations of the world.

Later, the strongest humans joined forces and sealed it at the bottom of the deep sea at the cost of their lives.

This is the world-devouring Ouroboros, also known as the world-devouring serpent.

Ouroboros is sealed and cannot come out, but it is too powerful, and every few hundred years, its own projection will come to the world in the form of dreams.

The real purpose of Crowe and his team is to annihilate the projection that comes to the world this time.
