The Guildmaster's Roar
The guildmaster's roar pierces my ears. His sword dances around me like the wind. Magic from elite adventurers rains down relentlessly. Water freezes, fire scorches, earth blocks my movement. Yet my body, forged over two thousand years, remains unharmed. My immortal power overcomes their attacks.
Light bursting from the Infinite Book envelops my form. The melody of the cosmos becomes my blood and flesh. It is a more primordial power than their magic. Their attacks sound like discordant notes attempting to disrupt the harmony of this universe. I counter that discord with the cosmic melody I play.
My counterattack far exceeds their imagination. It is the very law of the universe, beyond their comprehension. Space warps, stars flicker, and their magic becomes powerless before mine. The Guildmaster's sword shatters before reaching me. His eyes widen in shock and terror.
But I have no intention of killing them. There is no need to defeat them. They must understand the truth of my research, the truth of the cosmic melody.
“Stop!” I shout loudly. My voice resonates within their hearts. “This battle is meaningless! The Melody of the Universe plays harmony, not destruction!”
For an instant, the battle freezes. The Guildmaster stares at me, breathing heavily. His face shows not only anger, but also confusion. The adventurers, too, are startled by my words, some beginning to lower their weapons.
“...The melody of the universe...?” the Guildmaster murmurs. “What... exactly are you...”
Slowly, I open the Infinite Book. Its pages display complex equations representing the laws of the universe, geometric patterns, and something resembling musical scales, stretching infinitely.
“This is... the root of the universe, the words of creation,” I begin to explain quietly. “Understanding this melody allows one to comprehend this world and all of the universe. Yet, immeasurable danger lurks within that power. I understand that danger. But I cannot stop this research.”
My words resonate quietly yet powerfully within their hearts. Their expressions shift from anger to interest. They are beginning to sense something in my research, in my words.
“...Therefore, I need not fight.” I close the Infinite Book and speak softly. “Understand, and together, let us play the melody of this universe.”
Their reactions remain unseen. Yet, I am certain this silence heralds a new beginning. The melody of the universe continues to flow. And it signals the start of a new harmony connecting me and them.
