Chapter 38: Chapter 37
" It's time. " Elden said as he stood in front of the other captains, Fox, Touya, Winter, Ladros, Fana, and Mars.
" You know what to do. " Elden said as he opened multiple portals.
Everyone nodded as they went through the portals. Everyone walked through to get to their positions.
Elden looked at the king's castle and teleported there.
...
Drake stepped out of the portal with his squad with him.
" Alright, you know the plan. Get to work. "
" Yes sir. "
Drake walked towards the mansion as he activated Mana zone to cover the entire mansion, allowing him to observe everything that was going on.
' Hmm. They just relayed the into to the total inside. Well, then I best make sure that he doesn't escape. ' Drake thought as he grinned.
" Mark. Rachael. You are in charge. " He said.
" Roger sir. " They said as they went to observed the battlefield.
Drake grinned as he disappeared leaving a trail of lightning.
" Quickly I must leave this place! " Said the royal as he grabbed everything from his secret stash and headed down to the basement.
His guards followed him. They were about to reach the entrance to go to the basement. The royal was gaining a happy look as they almost reached.
" Going somewhere. "
The royal stopped in his tracks as he saw the Drake in front of him, dropping his 2 guards to the ground unconscious.
" You really thought you could get away from me. How cute. " Drake said as he grinned maliciously.
" Do you want you have done?!! You... " The royal starts.
" Yeah. Yeah. I know. But in all honesty, I don't give a fuck. After all, what can a weakling like you do to me? " Drake asks in provoking manner.
" You little... "
* bam *
The royal spits out blood from his mouth as Drake slammed his fist into the royal's gut. The royal fell to the floor with a small thud as he was knocked out.
" He was right. This would be a boring takeover. " Drake muttered.
...
Lance walked through the fighting caused by his squad, walking over the unconscious bodies of the guards.
' Seems everything is going to plan. The designs of the house are useful since we have people going through the secret exists.
For now, I'll head inside to capture the royal. ' Lance thought.
Suddenly the windows broke as Lance watched some of his squad members fall out of them.
Creating steel arms, he caught them and laid them on the ground.
" How foolish of you. "
Lance looked up at the royal who was looking down on him from above.
" If you would have followed orders you wouldn't have to die such a miserable death. " The royal said as he attacked.
Conjuring fire he blasted the fire at Lance who created a steel wall in front of him.
" It's no use. I'll just melt your magic. " The royal said as he increased the heat of the flames.
' More, more... ' The royal thought as he increased the heat.
* clank *
The royal's eyes widened as his magic fizzled out. He looked at his leg to find a cold metal stabbed around him.
One-half of magic suppressing cuffs.
Before he could do anything, steel computations trapped him. His legs were tied up along with his arms and his mouth was sealed.
He looked at Lance who lowered him down.
" Did you honestly think I was going to fight you seriously? I don't want my squad to die. Besides, it's easier this way. " Lance scoffed.
..
Joker walked through the halls of the mansion as he hummed a tune to himself.
' Seems everything is going to plan. ' He thought as he watched the destruction outside.
His squad was taking care of the guards as he went after the royal.
' He would be in the basement. Covering all the exits was a basic move but an effective one. '
" I found another intruder! "
Joker looked at the guard who brought another 3 guards with them.
He watched as the guards gathered up magic to attack Joker. Joker grinned as he dodged all their attacks and was in front of them.
Drawing his card he quickly swiped the card and stopped behind them. He put his card away and continued walking as the guard's heads fell to the floor along with their bodies.
' Well, that was disappointing. Where is the royal?
Joker expanded his sense to find the royal in a room not far from his location.
' Well then. Let's make this interesting, after all, he just needs to be alive. '
The royal walked towards the door and walked along the halls.
' I need to get out of here. Luckily I made a secret escape route behind the fridge in the kitchen. I need to get there. '
The royal started walking. He kept an eye out for anyone coming for him.
" He should be here. Come one let's check. "
He walked away from the people talking. He was overly cautious as he weaved through the mansion.
' Finally, I made it. I can get out of here. ' The royal thought as he opened the door.
The royal's eyes widened as he looked at the room he started from.
' I started from this room. How am I back here?!! ' He thought as he started shaking in fear.
" Simple. " Said a soft voice but with a hint of amusement from behind him.
The royal froze in his spot as he couldn't move. The person put his arm over the royal's shoulder.
" I lead you here. You were never going to getaway. But I must admit I didn't think you actually had a brain. Well done. But not good enough. "
The royal fell to the floor on the outside but ok the inside he was living his worst fears.
Joker looked at the body of the royal and picked him up.
' Not bad but still boring. '
...
" Get ready and stop her. " Said the head guard as he stood in front of Rose.
The other guards stood ready as they looked at Rose.
Rose said nothing as she disappeared from view.
" Atta... "
* thud *
* thud *
Heads and bodies dropped to the ground as Rose sheathed her sword behind the guards. She walked down the hall and opened the door to find the dungeons.
" Stop right there!! " Said the royal as he had many hostages.
Rose looked at the hostages who were naked women. She was disgusted it held it down as she ignored the royal and looked at the hostages.
Their eyes were broken. They held no light. When she arrived there was no change. Even the hostage in his hands didn't flinch as he held the knife to her throat. There was a small cut on her throat where blood poured out.
Rose just looked at them and nodded her head.
" Great you agree! That's.. "
* slash *
In an instant, all the women in the room were killed. Their heads chopped off as blogs poured out of them. The hostage in the hands of the royal died as blood her blood poured all over him.
Rose said nothing as she walked forward. The royal was frozen. He couldn't move. He didn't expect her to go this far.
" Wai... "
* slash * x5
Before he could say more, Rose slashed her sword 5 times. The royal's arms were cut off. Next his arms. Finally his tongue.
" Aahhhhh... " He cried out in pain. Blood poured out of his wounds as he stared at Roses's unforgiving eyes.
" He said not to kill you. Unfortunately, I have to agree. But you'll still die, just not at my hands. " She said coldly.
Grabbing the royal she headed out of the dungeon to the upper floors quickly.
* cries of agony. *
Following that sound, she headed there and found Touya burning some guards.
" Oi Touya. " She called out as she held out the Royal by his head towards him. Touya looked at Rose and saw the royal cut up.
" Yeah, I got it. " He said. He put up his hand in flames and held threw wisps at the wounds.
The royal cried out in pain as his wounds were seared shut by Touya's flames.
" I'm not even going to ask why. We are done here. " Touya said.
" Okay then let's go. "
..
* boom *
The doors blew open as the royal stood ready. He looked at the giant fire salamander spirit wall into the room.
" Oi stop running. Otherwise, I'll chop off your legs. " Fana said as she walked in.
The royal stepped back in fear as he readied his magic. He didn't answer as he was focused on escaping.
He gathered his water magic as he attempted to attack with a large amount of water.
He fired the ball of water at Fana.
* poof *
The ball evaporated before it reached her as she walked forward sighing.
" Really? Sigh this is boring. How is Rose doing? " Fana muttered.
" Stay back. " The royal said as he made a giant water dragon.
He launched the water dragon at Fana who just watched.
" Take care of it. " Fana muttered. Her spirit roared as he stepped in front of her and fired a large-scale fire blast at the dragon.
The dragon evaporated by the heat as it headed to the royal.
* boom *
The wall got destroyed as the royal fell out, burned but still alive. Fana caught him using fire strings.
" Why did get this guy? I wish I went with Rose. "
..
" Such a beautiful sound! " Ladros said as he looked at the destruction he caused. He looked at the royal at his feet who was whimpering in fear.
" I have orders not to kill you but I don't think I'm down with you yet. " Ladros said as he walked toward the royal who was crawling away with one of his legs cut off.
Before that though Ladros stopped as Mars put his hand on Ladros shoulder.
" Relax. We both know that whatever you did would just make it worse as it's still not fulfilling. "
" Yeah. Yeah. " Ladros said as he stopped since he knew that Mars was right.
Mars said nothing as he captured the royal. He looked at the castle in distance before walking with the royal behind him.
...
Elden teleported into the throne room as he looked at the king sitting on his throne.
" Sup. " Elden said as he looked at the king.
No reaction.
Elden looked at the king who was looking at the floor playing with his hands making no effort to question him.
" Elden. How bad of a king was I? " The king asked softly.
While soft his words echoed through the hall to Elden's ears.
" A terrible one. " Elden said bluntly.
The king said nothing as he looked at the ground in sadness.
" I failed. I was tricked by the other royals and listened to every word they said. I always asked for their help and didn't realize it. I'm a terrible king. " He muttered to himself.
Elden stayed silent as he looked at the king.
" I'm going to die, aren't I? " He asked.
" Yep. " Elden said as he stood in front of the king.
" I see. Can you tell me how my parents died then? " He asked.
" Your father was murdered by hired assassins by the royals. Your mother died of poison when the royals gave money to one of your chefs to poison your mother's food. "
" I see. It was from the beginning. Thank you for telling me at least. I'm glad you're the one killing me. " The king said.
Elden said nothing as he pointed his palm at the king. A purple ball engulfed the king and his throne, erasing them from existence.
Elden looked at the empty spot before walking away.
He left the room and went to wait for everyone to bring the royals.
" Looks like all of them are here. " Elden commented.
" Yep. All are accounted for. " Winter said as she looked at each one.
" Good time for the next step. " Elden said.
Everyone nodded as they took the royals.
..
Outside the castle, the citizens were there as they waited for the announcement to take place.
They talked with each other in confusion as they waited, wondering what's happening.
" Hey up there!! " Someone shouted.
They looked upon a platform to see the royals chained up. Some were broken like the one Rose captured while others looked fine but we're scared as you could see the fear in their eyes.
Elden stood in front as he looked at the crowd. The crowd recognized him as they looked at him.
" Good morning everyone. As you can see we have the royals captured to be displayed in front of you all.
The reason being that the current king is dead. " Elden said.
Gasps could be heard from the crowd as they looked at him before they cheered. The king had made their lives miserable for so long. They were finally free.
" However... " Elden said as the crowd stopped cheering.
" The king was manipulated by the royals. His parents the previous king and queen were killed by the royals. This allows them to manipulate the current king.
He had to die though since even after becoming an adult he did not question what he was doing. He could make his decisions as he grew up but didn't.
Though none of this would occur if the royals never killed the king and queen. They started this mess and they will pay.
So grab one of the weapons in front of you and enjoy the next few seconds. " Elden said before he teleported away.
The royals looked in fear as the masses looked at them like they were prey.
" Get them! " Someone yelled.
The crowd screamed as they picked up the weapons and ran up the platform to the royals. The royals could do nothing but scream as they were stabbed and beaten.
" Yes. This is beautiful!! " Ladros yelled as he looked at what's happening to the royals below.
Elden watched with the others as the royals lost their lives soon after.
" So that was one short speech. " Drake said breaking the silence.
" Yep. I'm not that good at making speeches. I'm just glad it worked out. " Elden said as he looked at the dead bodies.
" True. Well then, king, what's our next move? " Drake asked as he looked at Elden. Everyone less looked at Elden as he stared at them and smiled.
" Simple. We will add to the kingdom and the surrounding villages. Since we have the rest of the day, let's begin now. " Elden said as he smirked.
____________________________________________
Sup.
So the royals finally died and the king as well. Elden became the new king as everyone accepted him as the king when Drake called him that.
A time skip will happen as it goes to the main plot.
