As Minos slipped into a drowsy state, his eyes moving rapidly and his body muscles twitching, the elves around him watched him carefully as they went about their work.
What happened there did not depend solely on the power of the seers involved. The seers merely directed the vision that the tournament winner would have to show him something of great value for free in this world.
But every other aspect of the vision of the winner of the Continental Tournament depended very much on the individual characteristics of the person having the experience.
Since Minos was very unusual, some of the elves were curious about where this prize would take Emperor Stuart.
'I look forward to the beginning of the war.' Thought one of them. 'I want to see what His Majesty Minos Stuart will present differently... It will probably have something to do with this vision.'
Others were curious about the same thing, looking forward to seeing Minos in action at the beginning of the war. Still, others simply hoped that whatever it was, it would help the Spiritual World.
Amid the elves' thoughts, Minos gradually found himself in a different place, a place not even he, who had traveled the world and had the memories of Henricus Longus, could recognize at first.
'This place...' He thought as he saw an area of black earth that stretched for miles as if that was all there was to the world.
This place was utterly flat at first glance, perhaps indicating the presence of intelligent beings in the area.
But as he tried to walk around, Minos noticed that he was walking much slower than he should have, something strange.
Usually, visions or illusions didn't have the power to make their target feel this way. A mind's limitations were usually associated with itself. If there wasn't something else involved to justify the 'suppression,' then it wasn't logical for one to feel like Emperor Stuart felt now.
'That...' He winced as he looked down at himself.
But as he did so, he saw the giant shadow that had been covering him grow smaller and smaller, drawing his attention to the sky.
As he looked up, he saw what looked like a giant spherical rock falling towards where he was standing.
He was surprised but didn't hesitate to keep moving, even if he was much slower than he should have been.
Just as the rock was about to hit the ground, it suddenly stopped moving as two gigantic creatures emerged from the clouds in the sky, both looking in Minos' direction.
'That... This can't be the Spiritual World! There are no beings that big here!' He thought, imagining that the immortal energy in his being was affecting the vision that was supposed to show him something of great value in his homeworld.
The aliens were the only thing Minos knew that contained immortal energy besides the giant bones. Since it didn't seem to have anything to do with such invaders, Emperor Stuart immediately thought of Panvuter and the ancient races of that great world.
'Could it be...'
He thought when his eyes met those of the two giant beings, and he suddenly saw everything around him change, with images rapidly appearing in his eyes.
First, he saw a gigantic battlefield with countless strange creatures. Then he saw flames and chaos, followed by a meteor shower and what looked like eggs. Soon after, he saw an explosion of such huge proportions that he couldn't estimate its power. All he could say was that it could easily kill Gods!
The last thing he saw was a rock of unknown size breaking into many pieces, many of which disappeared from his sight, leaving only one.
On that last piece of rock, something caught his eye.
Gulp!
Minos felt something in his being changed as he realized something was calling him.
He opened his eyes and found himself back at the spot where the elves had started their award ceremony, where those individuals looked pale, extremely tired, some even unconscious.
Something seemed to have happened while his eyes were closed, and Minos quickly pushed aside the strange sight he had seen to focus his attention on the still-conscious beings around him.
"What happened?"
A level 99 elf, so weakened that he seemed to have lost half his life force, took a deep breath and said. "I don't know what kind of technique you've cultivated, but this is really out of this world. We lost control of your vision six months ago when the Continental Tournament ended. Fortunately, you woke up before some of us perished due to the great exhaustion of our energy!"
"What?" Minos exclaimed in shock, feeling as if only a few seconds had passed for him. But six full months had passed.
lightsnοvεl While he was surprised, the still-conscious elves were relieved that he had finally awakened. Strangely enough, the ritual they had performed since the beginning of the Continental Tournament behaved strangely for the first time.
Not only had the vision of the tournament champion lasted much longer than it should have, but somehow, Minos had forced all the elders to keep using their powers to keep the vision going, even after some of them had used up all their energy and lost consciousness.
If Minos hadn't finally woken up, those elders would have started to die in the next few days!
The situation had gotten out of hand, and Aurae was there to monitor everything. When she saw Minos wake up, she appeared inside the altar where he was getting up.
"What happened? Can you tell me what you saw? I promise that I will never reveal this information to anyone." Aurae said slightly nervously as Minos' eyes turned to her.
Minos tried to figure it out for himself, aware that something was calling him somewhere far away from where he was now, but not knowing exactly what it was.
He mixed the truth with a little lie. "I saw the end of the world. I saw my prize, but also something I didn't expect."
Minos shuddered at the thought of what he had felt while Aurae realized it.
Something that could make someone like Minos tremble couldn't be easy!
"I see..." She clenched her fists, imagining that the end of the world was about the fate of the world. "What will you do now?"
"I need to return to my state and take care of some things. After that, I'll try to get my prize and then prepare for the war."
"Sigh... Do that." Since nothing worse had happened, she let him go, thinking it would be best to let Minos finish his plans for the war that was already a few years away from starting!
