In Another World With Escanor Powers - 42 End Of The Second Trial
“hmm, a great war, huh?”.
Aiden looked at Charles and stared back at Saifon who was still using his demon fire while concentrating on the trial. He then remembered something and looked at the second prince who also seemed a little surprised as well.
“Second prince Williams, How about you enlighten us a little. What do you think about what the old man said? Tell us more about your friend and tell us everything you know about him since he’s you’re friend, you must be the one who knows about him more than anyone”.
The Second prince didn’t say anything and just stayed silent as he stared back at Aiden. Aiden also didn’t seem to back out at all as he also stared back without flinching at all. Aiden then also added by saying.
“You know, staying silent isn’t helping your friend case at all. In fact, It’s just reinforcing the old man’s idea of Saifon being some kind of messenger of death and even the messiah of the end of the World so you better start talking or the old man might seriously kill him”.
When Williams heard that, he started sweating as he thought about what Aiden meant. In reality, Charles wasn’t the only one thinking like that. Everybody in the VIP area started thinking the same since they heard Charles talking about a prophecy and everything.
There are even members of the black market alliance like Seath and Rei who heard everything so It may really cause a huge wave of chasing Through all the continent as they would all try their best to hunt and kill Saifon.
If what Charles said is true then by the end of everything and when they return, Everyone will know about this and Saifon will become the public enemy number one and as his friend, The prince will also receive the blame for being friends with the so-called source of evil.
“Your highness, this is getting out of control. If what they say is true then Saifon may be a danger to the world and your path to the throne. We need to tell them”.
“George, what are you saying!! Saifon is my friend no matter what. We both know that Saifon isn’t as evil as they say. He’s the only one whom I consider as a true friend and there is no way that he can be a source of evil like they say. You should believe in him. Aren’t you the one who introduced us after all”.
After saying that, he continued to look at Aiden but didn’t say anything and then he turned at Charles and said to him, “I met Saifon back when he came to the Lefia kingdom capital five years ago. He said that he was an orphan and didn’t have any family and when I investigated him, I knew that he was from Evlario city and that his mother and sister died back there and when he didn’t have anyone, he started traveling in the kingdom and reached the capital where I met him”.
Evlario city is one of Lefia kingdoms 5 big cities including the capital. It’s situated in the center of the second biggest island, Evlario island.
“As for his so-called demon fire, its only his divine ability and he calls Hellfire control. It’s a divine ability that gives him the power to create and control dark purple fire. He awakened his divine ability a year ago so no one knew about it”.
When Everybody heard that, they all nodded as they knew how divine abilities are versatile and infinite. You can find almost any type of divine ability and it depends on how you use it.
“Then why is his so-called hellfire resembles the fire that demons use. Can you explain that to me??”.
“…This…”
“Excuse me”
When they heard the voice of a woman, they all turned to the source and were surprised that it was Saya who started talking.
“Can you tell me exactly what this prophecy is about so I can know more. Perhaps I can help you if possible to identify the true one who will bring the so-called great war”.
Charles looked at Saya then at the second prince and then looked back at Saifon who is still using the fire Demon powers right now. You could see that although he calmed down, his eyes still showed the worries he tried to hid so much. Finally, he sighed and then started talking about the prophecy.
“…..It shall be then, when the mana disappears and magic is useless that The man who has the demon powers will meet the Spirit Saint and the chain of events will start with the stranger who shares the destiny with the human with the Demon powers and he will act against the foolish choice of the true evil one causing the great chaos of war….. This is an old prophecy that an old man of mine told me about. She was a divination Mage and she had this prophecy two hundred thousand years ago”.
“….”
When the second prince and the others heard that, they started having cold sweet in their backs as they saw the heaviness of the information Charles is giving them right now as they started to see the importance of the prophecy.
“Wait a minute!”.
Saya who understood something looked at Charles and then turned at Saifon as she understood something and then said to him.
“From what the prophecy said, there are mainly four people involved here. The first one being the man with the demon powers who you’re saying is Saifon The second one is the Saint Spirit, you and then comes the stranger which we don’t know who he/she is. Finally, the 4th one is the true evil one(person) who will bring the chaos of a great war, am I right??”
“Yes exactly. Including me, these 4 people will all start this chain of events that will inevitably lead to a great war and that’s why I created all of this. It was so I can find one of the other 3 people but little girl you’re…”.
Saya didn’t wait for Charles as she interrupted him and then said to all the people present, “Then it’s okay”.
Charles: “…Okay, what do you mean???”.
Saya smiled and then looked at everybody around her as she raised her 4 fingers and then started narrating, “Well, out of the 4 people, there are supposedly two people present here, Saifon and Saint Charles. The prophecy didn’t say that the man with demon powers will bring chaos but another one considered as the truly evil person so we still don’t know all. Besides, perhaps the stranger is the evil one so we don’t need to get to fast conclusions”.
Charles stayed silent as he looked at her and then stared back at Aiden and then sighed and gave a little smile as he said,
“You might be right. It seems like my age and all affected me so I couldn’t think about all these possibilities. I am the great Saint spirit and yet, I acted like a frightened child whose toy has been taken”.
Saya: “It’s normal after all because there is still…..”
“But let me tell you something you’re wrong about, little girl. In reality, there aren’t two people in the prophecy who’re present but there are three”.
When Saya heard that, she became a little puzzled and then look at Charles who smiled and then turned his head and stared at Aiden. Aiden’s eyes were closed at that moment but he could easily notice the stares of everybody in the VIP area. Aiden opened his eyes and said to them
“Oh, I didn’t tell you but when I came here a month ago, the old man told me that I might represent the stranger in the prophecy”.
“…”
____________________________
The trial continued for the groups 125-128 and when it ended after thirty minutes, only 17 people have passed which was the highest number of people passing in one trial since the start of the second day.
Alex, Lyssia and Saifon were among the people who passed thanks to their powers. Dario was also able to pass easily since he was a Heaven Archmage after all. The problem was when all these people went to the VIP area and to be specific, It was Saifon.
Everyone heard what Charles said previously so they knew what Saifon can represent. He might be even the one who will bring destruction to the western continent. The moment Saifon reached the VIP area, everyone focused on him as they started staring at him all at the same time. Everyone stared at him except for Aiden.
Aiden was concentrating on the next groups that will enter and frankly he didn’t seem that much concerned whether Saifon was someone who will bring evil and everything. He called for the groups 129-132 and continued the trial.
Alex and Lyssia who looked puzzled as they noticed the weird stares people gave Saifon while the second prince explained the circumstances they’re in. They asked Saya who explained what happened earlier and told them about Charles’s prophecy.
Charles was just floating like a ghost beside Dian Long as both of them were observing the arena but you could notice that they also didn’t let Saifon case escape their minds as they turned to monitor him sometimes.
Aiden who noticed that sighed and turned at Saifon who’s face turned a little grim as he continued to look down at the ground without saying anything. Aiden understood what Saifon felt now as becoming the number one enemy of the whole continent just because of a prophecy is completely unfair for Saifon.
Aiden also didn’t like how people believed in prophecies like they were God’s words or something. Finally, Aiden couldn’t take it anymore and said to everybody around him.
“Let me just say this. I, Aiden the lion sin of Pride, don’t believe prophecies and Saifon isn’t the one who will bring the end of the world because a stupid prophecy said that. In the case that he’s really a bad guy then I will just have to stop him before he does anything. I will say this but while we’re here, nobody will speak about this never again. I don’t like how the people present are gossiping like housewives. Charles, do you wanna say anything??”.

“….Sigh, no there isn’t really anything to talk about. I might be wrong and he isn’t the one I am destined to meet. I apologize for what happened earlier and Just take it as an old ghost who became a little crazy”.
All of them nodded as they heard what he said but no one really believed him at all. It even had the opposite effect as people started having more confirmations that something is weird with Saifon divine ability and it might be related to a divine ability.
After this little episode, the trial continued normally until almost sunset. Aiden tested until group 184 and after that finished the second day. A total of seventy-seven people who have passed the trial including, Lyssia, Alex, Saifon and Emelia’s father, Morgan and Alexia who were among the group 157.
After they finished the second day, all the people took a rest and the third and final day came so they can finish the remaining groups. The only person who Aiden knew was Nolan who was in group 260.
Finally, the third day for the second trial ended and only eighty people passed including Nolan of course. Aiden who finished the last group turned and looked at all the people who passed.
“First of all, Congratulations on passing the second trial. Out of the one hundred thirty people who went through this trial, only you 250 persons passed which means you’re the elite among all the elite that went through the previous trials. I said that there will be some special reward prepared for those who pass and so I will give this reward”.
Everyone became excited as to what kind of reward Aiden will give them. After all, the reward will come from Charles treasure vault which means that It will be a super awesome reward.
