SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar

Chapter 804 The Wedding [Pt 1]

[Three Months Later]

A lot had happened, hadn't it?

The deaths and destruction that rained down on the world, threatening to end all of it in one fierce blow.

The malevolent being that emerged from the darkness, seeking to consume all that breathed in this world and beyond.

However, that time had long passed.

At this moment, all of the evils of the past had been forgotten. Instead joy, peace, and celebration filled the air.

After all…

"WOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

… It was Neron and Serah's wedding!

This event was held at Ainzlark Academy's grand Auditorium, and it was chock full of guests from all over the world.

Thanks to Magic, the massive Colosseum was retrofitted to fit the wedding atmosphere—making enough room for the kind of proceeding that was to take place soon.

The seats were arranged like pews, and they stretched as far as the eyes could see. The pews circled the altar, with the exception of the red carpet that stretched from the entrance of the venue to the stage.

Magic Screens floated in the air, projecting the event as it occurred in real-time. This allowed everyone to get a piece of the action—seeing the couple get joined in sacred matrimony.

"Do you, Neron Kaelid, take this wonderful lady to be your lawfully wedded wife? For as long as you remain conscious and breathe, bound by your souls in this union?" A feminine voice echoed throughout the massive hall.

Neron and Serah stood opposite each other, each in their respective formal wear.

Neron donned an all-black suit, and they complimented his eyes and wavy hair. As for Serah, her pure white gown sharply contrasted the dark hue he donned.

Serah's long crimson hair flowed well below her back but was covered by the white veil on her head. They stood opposite each other, smiling and chuckling like little kids.

Right in front of them, at the very center, was the supposed priest meant to join them together. She floated in the air, like a ghost, but she had a brilliant smile that clearly displayed her excitement.

She had white hair, clear skin and green eyes. The dark spot under her eyes and lips were evident as she stared at the married couple, remembering her past.

"I do." Neron snapped her out of her thoughts, and she proceeded to look at the bride to say her vows.

This type of wedding was new to the Eastern Kingdom, and it only existed in the past when one of the Apostles Of Aether developed it.

'I sure wish you could see this, Gus.' The new Pope—Kazen—smiled as she watched the scene play out.

Thanks to Jared and Neron's resurrection effect, even she didn't perish in the fight against the Nether. They created a new body for her, and she was now able to live a new life in this reality.

It was both an exciting and also sometimes lonely experience.

Thankfully, with the people that now surrounded her, there didn't seem to be a dull moment. While they could never replace the friends she'd had in the past, she wasn't alone anymore.

That was what mattered.

"Do you, Serah Crimson, take this wonderful man to be your lawfully wedded husband? For as long as you remain conscious and breathe, bound by your souls in this union?"

"I do!" Serah responded almost instantly. Kazen smiled, happy beyond compare. And she wasn't the only one.

The entire hall, now shaped like a cathedral, was bustling with excited noises and epic screams. It was just an awesome sight to behold.

"Is there anyone who would like to object to this union? Speak now, or forever hold your peace."

The couple instantly cast their gaze on the audience.

With Neron's intense gaze, though accompanied by his slight smile, no one dared to say a peep… or so one would think.

"I… MMPHHHH!!!" A muscular Beastfolk by the name of Gerard—also known as the Beast King—tried to protest, but he was easily subdued by the audience around him.

"Anyone at all?" Kazen asked, trailing her eyes through the crowd.

"MMMPHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Having no proper response to object to their union, it was time to proceed with the nuptials. And everyone knew what was coming next.

"Then…" They all smiled as they watched this particular part.

"... I hereby declare you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOO!!!"

Everyone's cheers made the hall vibrate with excited tremors.

Neron and Serah could be seen blushing as they drew closer to each other. Everyone's eyes widened as they awaited the public display of affection.

Even the little ones wanted to see this epic sight.

However…

"Timeless World."

Everyone stood still and only Neron remained in this completely silent world.

He cast his gaze upon his bride, and a wide smile crept up on his face as he stared into her adorable eyes. Within this moment, he could feel his heart race and his cheeks burn.

This moment, one which they had discussed so many times in the past—both in this reality and the one that no longer was—now unfolded before his eyes.

"I love you, Serah…" He whispered as he drew closer to her and planted his lips upon her.

Instantly, she moved, wrapping her arms around him, as she passionately returned his kiss.

They remained like this for as long as they wanted, unfazed by the several frozen eyes that watched them.

"I love you too, Neron." She whispered, before burying her lips in his once more.

*****

The wedding ceremony was officially kickstarted by the exchange of oaths, but that was only the first part of the entire event.

After the couple enjoyed their kiss—though no one was able to see it—the real ceremony began.

The party!

Music blared across the reception hall, as tables were set for the respective guests, almost instantly, using Magic.

Food, drinks, and souvenirs were passed around to everyone, and they all enjoyed themselves by having a good time.

A good payoff for Neron and Serah.
