50 Sharpest Blade, Strongest Shield

Unknown dimension, somewhere in the multiverse

Entire dimension was completely devoid of any signs of life. Trees were dead, the sky was darker than night and ground was cracked. In one part of the dimension was giant mountain range stretching majestically.

On the edge of the highest mountain in the entire range, there was one castle lonely standing. It was the extremely huge castle, in gothic style and behind the castle was red moon glowing at the entire dimension.

The castle itself was also devoid of any life but was in perfect condition. As it was finished just yesterday. Only living being in the castle were bats, lots of bats. When one looked closer at them, they weren't ordinary bats but each of them was releasing extremely blood and strong aura.

Entire castle was guarded by them, they were guardians, protectors, cleaner and everything else. On the highest floor of the castle was one room, bigger than the others. It was a simple room, but still luxuriously decorated and one table with one chair was in the center of the room. In front of the table with the chair was a giant window and man sitting behind the table with glass in his hand was watching the scenery before him.

It was a familiar elder, clothed completely in pitch black suit with golden ornaments and with a waistcoat over his shoulders. He wore white gloves on his hands and his clothes gave the feeling of noble. His eyes were bright red and shining in the dark and his beard and hair were ash grey. Wizard Marshall, Kaleidoscope, Kischur Zelretch Sweinorg.

"Maybe I should look at the progress of that kiddo. It has been a long time from the time he was born so he should make considerable progress."

Murmured Zelretch as he took out his Jeweled Sword, which was his Mystic Code. Mystic Code is supporting weapon that magus carries as a magical artifact. They are divided into two main categories and that amplifier and specialized. The amplifier as the name suggests is amplifying magic and specialized already have a predetermined usage.

Jeweled Sword Zelretch was constructed by fusion of most advanced technology in the multiverse and most advanced magic. Sword is capable of the Multi-Dimensional Refraction Phenomenon, allowing the user to draw in potentially infinite magical energy. Now Zeltretch was using it to watch entire history of Lucien Etras di Aeon. He promised to help the kiddo, to Administrator of Life and Death, Kelemvor.

After several hours of watching the entire record, Zelretch was amused. This was the reason why he liked to find Irregulars. They don't have a fate and they always do something completely unpredictable and he can't see their future and fate.

"Hmm... he has qualities. Maybe I should go find that another old skeleton. Nevertheless, that kiddo carries his bloodline. Maybe that stubborn old man would take him as a disciple. Only shame he wasn't born as a Magus. I could gain exceptional disciple. What a shame."

Sighed Zelretch to himself, before creating a spatial gate with Jeweled Sword Zelretch and stepping into the portal. As Zelretch was Administrator of Kaleidoscope he could travel at any place in the entire multiverse within seconds. Even before he became Administrator he could travel to many places. This was a power of the Second True Magic, Kaleidoscope.

Zelretch is known as a complicated individual. He loves to pull pranks and is very meddlesome in worldly affairs when something interests him. When he was still in his homeworld, he was admired and disliked by Mage Association, due to his tendency to pull pranks and cripple his proteges, which were chosen from most talented students. He was always interested in talented young people and always searched for somebody who could be his inheritor.

=============================================

When he stepped out of the dimensional portal he appeared in completely different environment. Everywhere were sakura trees and nature was alive. The entire place was giving out the aura of peace and beauty. The entire valley was tranquil, peaceful and silent. Only birds were flying in the air and some other creatures were sleeping here and there.

There were some building in ancient Japanese architecture, but not many of them. They were around the entire valley. Some of them were small and some of them were big. One building was on the river and another one was on the smaller hill or mountain.

There was a huge mansion, in typical ancient Japanese architecture in the middle of this valley. Yes, it was located at the valley and mansion was built in front of a river that flowed through this valley. Zelretch walked through this beauty and went to the mansion.

When he arrived at the mansion, the figure appeared there. It was an elderly man, wearing black kimono, with a golden dragon pattern. At his waits was katana, that looked ordinary but Zelretch felt murderous aura from it. Truth to be told even his outfit looked very imposing and majestical. The man wasn't releasing an aura of ruler or king, but rather that of absolute dominance and obedience.

Elder had long white hair and beard, bright blue eyes and sharp gaze in his eyes as he watched Zelretch coming here. It was apparent that he wasn't very pleased with this fact.

"Xenos, my friend."

Shouted Zelretch in an instant when he was the man. Xenos's face twitched a little, cause he feared that Zelretch came here to pull a prank. Many people feared Zelretch for pulling pranks on them and even most powerful cultivators in multiverse weren't exceptions. To rulers of various high-level planes name, Kischur Zelretch Sweinorg was the synonym of a most terrible nightmare. Nobody knows what he would do if he is bored.

"Zelretch, if you have come here to pull pranks or doing some mischief, then go away."

Said Xenos to Zelretch. When he heard that smile on his face widened and he nodded his head. This was a common response of many people when they have seen him. If you have something important then ok but if not then rather go away.

"Don't worry, I have something important to discuss with you."

To this was Xenos surprised and then frowned. When Zelretch behaved seriously, according to his duty as administrator, which was extremely rare then that means that he had come here with the serious issue.

"Come with me."

Said, Xenos, as he led Zelretch to the garden behind his mansion. They're both of them sat down and started to drink green tea, that Xenos brewed. He was very accomplished in the art of tea brewing.

"So, what brings you here my friend, Zelretch?"

Asked Xenos after he put down his cup of tea and watched Zelretch.

"Good tea. Now to the issue. Actually, this time I came here on behalf of Kelemvor, he requested help from me on a certain matter. Some months ago, new Executor of Akashic Records was chosen and he is someone of your blood."

When Zelretch said that atmosphere froze. He could feel that overwhelming killing intent that was coming from Xenos. This was because besides Administrators there existed another type of people that were deeply connected to Akashic Records. They were the strongest weaponry that protected Akashic Records.

They protected multiverse from shadows, killed everything that was too strong for administrators to handle, they had even power to kill administrator when he abused his power. They protected multiverse from threats from the infinite void.

Sharpest Blade, Strongest Shield.

Protector Regent.

And now there existed only one Protector Regent in the entire multiverse. Protector Regent, Sacred Devourer Xenos.
