Ultra: Dark Shadow Mage, Founding a Magic Empire

"what……"

When the plasma sparks flashed again, Taro, who had been using his body to protect the last ray of light, finally fell down.

"Taro!"

After Ultra Father and Ultra Mother recovered, they rushed over to check on their son's condition as soon as possible.

"You did a great job, Taro. You are our pride."

"Father, mother..."

Taro only had time to shout out before he completely fainted from exhaustion.

Mother of Ultra quickly checked Taro and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was just out of coma.

"Take him to rest. He will be able to make up for it after this time."

Ultra Father said a comforting word, then hurriedly got up to check on other situations in the country.

After making some simple arrangements, he finally made time to look for the hero, Zero.

But when Ultra Father found and saw Zero, he was a little stunned.

When he found Cerro, Cerro was training himself madly in a small corner.

He continued to violently attack the sandbag in front of him, as if he was attacking some mortal enemy. The frantic training reminded Ultra Father of an old friend...

Beria, who once locked himself in a house because he failed to be elected, was in this state!
"G……"

Ultra Father's eyes were filled with worry. He didn't know what Zero had been through, but this state was definitely not normal.

Anger and hatred will only lead to violence, and long-term violence will only make people lost and fall into madness.

Perhaps he should think of a way to bring Cero out of this strange state.

We cannot allow such a young person with great potential to fall into confusion and madness.

……

The First Generation, Seven, and Jack flew all the way back to the Kingdom of Light.

After seeing the restored Kingdom of Light, the three were extremely excited. They were looking forward to seeing Zero and wanted to praise this top of the new generation who would succeed them.

But when they returned to the headquarters of the Space Guard, they only saw a decadent Zero, and Mirror Knight and Crimson Flame with sad faces.

"How is this going?"

Seven didn't know the two young warriors in front of him, but he saw Zoffy with a sad face.

"It's Cero. They encountered a bit of a setback this time. The kid is too strong-willed and can't get over it in a while."

Zuo Fei simply repeated the situation to Seven.

After hearing the details, Seven felt a little relieved. If he was just being picky, everything would be fine.

As long as you are not completely lost, there is still a way.

"Let me talk to this kid."

Seven walked into the training room. He reached out to stop Cero who was venting wildly, then pulled Cero to sit aside and have a heart-to-heart talk.

The others watched outside, while Zoffy gave some instructions and then went forward to help Ultra Father with the operation.

Now that Seven is back, let him, as a father, go and persuade Zero.

They also need to start preparing to clear Taro's name, help him rebuild his confidence, and make him the last one standing to protect the Kingdom of Light.

Even if it is impossible to make Taro regain the confidence to go out and fight, he must be able to take on the mission of protecting the Kingdom of Light.

As long as he takes that step, there is hope for Taro to recover!
"Father!"

Inside the prison.

Taiga looked at his father in pain. He couldn't understand why his father locked him up after becoming a hero again? Those people in the Kingdom of Light who originally hated him now chose to forgive him. They even apologized to Taiga and publicly issued an apology statement!
In response to his son's call, Taro just sat there in silence, his back turned to him, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

After waking up, Taro left the hospital despite Mother of Ultra's objection and went back to prison to lock himself up.

Then Father of Ultra, Mother of Ultra, Zoffy, and even the families and children of those warriors who hated him and were accidentally killed by him came to persuade him.

But Taro still sat with his back to everyone, unwilling to step out of the prison. He was still in self-exile.

"Father, if you don't want to go out, then at least please take over the defense of the Kingdom of Light and do your part for the Kingdom of Light. This will also allow you to atone for your sins better!"

Taiga said, "Also, I will be going out with Titus, Fuma and the others soon. Will you come to our ceremony?"

Taiga said, looking at Taro expectantly, but Taro still did not respond.

Taiga turned away disappointed.

As he left, Taro, who had been silent all the time, slowly raised his head. A black light flashed in his eyes, and then his face showed pain. He covered his head with both hands and kept gritting his teeth to force himself not to make any sound.

After a long while, Taro's strange state was completely eliminated.

He sighed and murmured to himself: "Yes, my son, I will go..."

"As for taking over the defense of the Kingdom of Light..."

Before Thailand could finish his words, he suddenly covered his head and screamed.

“I can’t… ahhhhh…”

"I, I, I...can...I can."

As his screams faded, finally his tone turned completely sour.

The black energy rose from the bottom of his eyes, then completely merged into him, hiding.

He still sat there, but this time his thoughts changed slightly.

He was waiting, waiting for Ultra Father and Zoffy to come.

"Maybe, we can really change it..."

……

Time flies, and soon it is the day for Taiga and his three-man team to go out for training.

There were many other people in the square like them, who were awarded medals and received missions, and were also accompanied and seen off by their parents.

Only Taiga and his two companions were deserted.

Titus and Fuma's families are not in the Kingdom of Light, so it is understandable that they did not come, but Taiga's father and family are all here, but at this moment no one came to see him off. It has to be said that this is a very pitiful thing.

"Don't be sad, brother, we are still here!" Fengma patted Taiga's shoulder.

"That's right, brother, the three of us are together," said Titus.

"Thank you, I'm fine."

Taiga forced a smile, then absent-mindedly participated in the subsequent mission acceptance ceremony.

Just as the ceremony was ending and they were about to leave, a figure appeared on the stage.

"Father!"

When Taiga saw that figure, he immediately cried out in surprise.

Taro, who was standing in the audience, smiled and nodded at his son, then made a hushing gesture, signaling him to keep quiet.

Taiga also nodded vigorously in response to his father.

When the ceremony was over, Taiga found an excuse to sneak into the corner and looked at Taro excitedly.

"Father, you are here!" (End of this chapter)
