Everything around Erend seemed meaningless now.
All his attention was focused on the long blonde hair man in front of him.
Krono, a man who had just said something quite astonishing.
Something he shouldn't believe because it came from the mouth of a suspicious stranger.
However, Erend felt in his heart that Krono could indeed be trusted.
It's like there's a special bond between him and Krono that he can't explain.
An ancient bond that connected them on a spiritual level.
Thus, instinctively made Erend could immediately believe in what he said.
"I don't understand what you're saying," Erend said. "Just so you know, I'm on my way to stop Magic from spreading to this world."
Krono nodded his head. "I know. But, there are many other causes besides the many parties who carried out the experiment."
Krono's words made Erend's eyebrows knit together. "How do you know about that?"
"I just know. It doesn't matter now. What I'm trying to say is, you better prepare yourself and your friends for that disaster."
"Are you talking about The Great Calamity coming down in less than a year?" Erend asked.
Krono shook his head. "Magic's arrival will be quicker than that."
"How? The experiment was still being carried out in a closed place and there was no way it could spread to the outside world. How could it spread?" Erend asked in a confused tone.
Krono took a deep breath before speaking. "There are many other causes. You and your friends are one of them."
Erend felt as if lightning had just struck somewhere. He froze in confusion and shock.
But not long after that, Erend was able to calm himself with a long and deep breath.
He couldn't speak with the anger or anxiety that predominated now.
"Alright, Krono," Erend said. "Explain your point."
"You are the greatest source of Magic in this world. Maybe you don't realize that but the power of a Dragonborn is one of the greatest Magic power."
Erend listened to Krono's explanation with a pounding heart.
"You may not know, but actually all beings in parallel worlds can use Magic. I won't go into too much detail because that would take a lot of time."
"The point is, even the beings in your world can actually use Magic. It's just that the Magic within them hasn't been awakened yet."
"If they interact for long enough with beings who can use Magic, then their Magic will awaken."
Erend froze in confusion. All these facts made him unable to think of anything.
It was only after a while that Erend was able to say something in reply to Krono's words.
"So... Billy and Cpt. Boartusk will be able to use Magic too?"
Krono gave a curt nod.
"So is everyone in this world?"
"Some people have the talent to be able to use Magic faster than others. But basically, if they interact with Magic a lot, they will eventually be able to use Magic too."
Erend took a deep breath and let it out.
"I don't have much time left. Now we must separate," Krono said.
"Wait!" Erend stopped him before Krono turned around.
"Is there a way to get rid of this scattered Magic?"
"The Elves can do it. But the power of Magic has already spread widely in your world since the Elves came."
"Everyone who was on that battlefield, the ones who were still alive of course, the Magic within their bodies had awakened without them noticing."
"Their amount of Magic is so small that they might not even notice. But it's there. Plus, the dimensional leak also scatters Magic around your world."
"Shit!" Erend cursed loudly. "So I didn't manage to spread that Magic leak!"
"It's not your fault. That Magic has spread in all directions so rapidly since it leaked into your world," Krono said.
"In that case, this world will also be on the top list that The Great Calamity goes to?"
"That possibility is pretty big."
A rumbling was heard in the distance. Cracks also started to appear on the rock that Erend stepped on.
The white mist around them moved noisily as if it was being blown by a wave of wind from somewhere.
"We're running out of time, Erend," Krono said in a slightly sad tone.
"Shall we meet again? There are many things I must ask you. You seem to know many things."
"That is something for sure. You will see me later. And also our other brothers and sisters."
Erend frowned. "Who are you guys really?"
"You should already know the answer to that question."
Erend couldn't see Krono's face behind his mask. But Erend felt that Krono was smiling.
"Until we meet again, Erend."
After those last words left Krono's mouth, the realm where Erend was now seemed to begin to collapse one by one.
The white mist around drew towards Erend and enveloped his entire body and vision.
When Erend woke up, he was back in the SUV, which had stopped.
Erend is still too shocked by his meeting with the mysterious blonde haired man named Krono. And all sorts of information he said.
Erend didn't know the reason why they stopped. But that reason was obviously not important for him to know at the moment.
Knowing that Magic would awaken in their world was something of a shock.
It was even more surprising because he knew that the Magic awakening was also largely due to him.
'Why am I just finding out about this now?'
There's a lot going on in Erend's head right now. Why didn't Systema tell him now?
But wasn't he too late despite knowing it earlier?
The war with the Elves had been going on for five years before he got Systema's power.
And during that time the soldiers who fought with him had been exposed to the Magic of the Elves.
So basically, the rise of Magic in this world was inevitable.
Erend took a deep breath. 'What should I do now?'
