Physics The Greatest Magic

"Why…? WHY DID YOU KILL THEM!? THERE WERE KIDS! FAMILIES! INNOCENT PEOPLE! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE AFTER YOUR HEAD BECAUSE OF IT!?!" Hexo shouted

There wasn't one person in the continent who hadn't heard about the wandering devil and his act. It was a great tragedy after all, which led to the fall of a city.

———————————————————-

6 months ago, there occurred an incident which would make it's way throughout the entire continent of Gilda. The Fall of the Hysta Kingdom.

It happened so suddenly, no one could react. On a certain morning, a devil was reporting walking down to the cities gate. 

A humanoid figure of a young man, coated in darkness with dark wings sticking out of it's back. Two horns at the front of it's head as it staggered while walking. A wide smile followed up by a hollow and lost look in it's face. 

The guards, instantly regarded it as a threat, and decided to shoot it down. Launching arrows straight at it's figures.

However, none of the arrows hit, it wasn't as if the devil was trying to avoid it, it was as if they were moved in the aired despite not having been moved at all.

But that was their mistake, the devil feeling all the aggression and killing intent directed at it, suddenly started to laugh out of nowhere. It's features becoming more and more human and normal by the passing second. 

However, it derived from the look of a young man and began to look more like a grown adult. It seemed to have been transforming or progressing in some way. Yet at the same time it was trying to hold back the transformation.

However, it seemed to have reached it's limit. Completely. 

The devil suddenly flew up into the air, above the city, before looking down at it's residents.

It was a rather large city, there were mansions, houses, slums. All kinds of people resided on it. 

"Argh… Stop trying to hold me back… You already ruined my plans when I tried destroying the last city. I need to get back in shape if I want to return to the underworld." Said The Devil 

He then noticed that the connection between him and the young man which was stopping him from breaking loose had reached it's limits.

*Shatter*

An excited and joyful smile could be seen on the devil's face as he muttered.

"Finally…" 

He then stretched out his hand, and a large shadow covered the city as the surrounding light disappeared.

"Huh…? What is that?"

"What happened to the sun?"

"Mummy… Daddy… Look it's a giant black sun!" 

A Large black sphere had suddenly formed right above the city. 

At first, there was confusion. But then, people began to panic as the surrounding buildings began to collapse, before being pulled towards the sky.

However, it wasn't just the buildings. People began to fly up as well, while others struggled endlessly to hold on to fixed objects so that it wouldn't happen to them.

But it was all futile. Another Large sphere was formed right next to the black hole, despite being similar in terms of appearance, their size and properties were different.

This of course, was a sphere the young man had absorbed from a mermaid encounter once in the past. It's properties brought destruction and manipulation. However, it was slightly smaller.

As that very same sphere was propelled straight down at the city. The citizens could do nothing but watched as the calamity was about to fall right above them.

However, the city still had hope. The Adventurers and the Knights weren't going to sit-by and do nothing as the city fell to ruins. 

Court Magicians were deployed to form a large barrier, and even high-ranking adventurer magicians too, prepared themselves.

The highest ranking power in the city during that moment was the duke as the royal family were in the main city in Halfaust. This was just a branch of the territory and had weaker defenses. Nonetheless, it was still strong and formidable.

It was but despite all their efforts, and even the fights which broke out during the destruction of the city. They weren't able to stop it.

After the event, the survivors which remained reported the case to the surrounding cities and world spread fast throughout the continent.

The event came to be known as the 'The Devil's Wrath' and 'The Fall Of Hysta'

And the being who caused that event, suddenly disappeared and ever since then, he was never seen again, no other city had fallen by his hands.

But every once in a while, people would claim to see the very same devil traveling around. That was how it came to be known as, the wandering devil.

"Why…? Damn it man! Why'd you have to kill them!?" Hexo asked

The young man who heard this, didn't say a single word, he just let himself be punched and pushed around by Hexo. There was nothing he could say.

Hexo pinned him on to the tree, before pulling his arm back. He was about to throw another punch, but right before it hit the young man. He stopped.

Not because of any mysterious force, but by the tears which suddenly flowed down the young man's blindfold.

"I… I know… What I did… It killed many… Hurt many families… Destroyed newborn lives… I know… I know… I know… I won't ever forget…" The young man muttered with a trembling voice as tears flowed out of his blindfold.

Hexo's eyes widened upon both hearing and seeing this. He didn't know what to say.

"Isn't that enough?" Satire asked as she walked up to them

"Don't forget we owe him one." Said Shera as she leaned on to the tree beside them.

*Tsk*

Hexo clicked his tongue before walking back to his seat, he felt conflicted. But because of this, he noticed it.

"Huh? Hey Guys! Where the hell did the Guild Master and Bright Sword go?" Hexo asked as he turned around.

But the instant he did, he quickly noticed that everyone had vanished. They were right behind him a second ago, but now they were nowhere to be seen.

"Huh…? Where is everyone?"
