"Four hundred years ago, a war broke out between humans and relimen." Adacus was reading out to Maggie from a book.She was practicing with her new powers as the others were getting packed and ready to depart."The lands were ravaged by the destruction and the sees became dry. When all hope seems lost for the world, Seven heroes appeared and put an end to the war. They were a group of both humans and relimen... They were celebrated as champions within their fields of expertise and went on to later be called... The Seven Saints."He walked up to her and handed her the book."Keep it. You seem to be quite interested in the world's history. There aren't many books as good as this.""Thanks. Uhm, do the relimen still exist? As in outside of crypts.""Now what good will that be if I tell you? Find out yourself.""Guys!" Vorus came running carrying luggage."We're ready to depart."They silently nod and all made their way to Dragonheart."Any word from Rhea?""Yep, they've done their best t
"Take care, Ace.""We'll be back before you know it hihi.""Conroy.""Yes Sir Reginald?""I don't know what you might find out there but... Try and keep your calm at always."Conroy smiled at the advice from his teammate."I know you must be thinking that there's a chance Serena is alive. Don't get your hopes crushed and your will shattered even further.""Don't worry Sir Reginald, whatever happens, I won't lose focus on the mission at hand. This battle isn't just for revenge. It's also for the faith of two nations and possibly the entire Western Continent."As Conroy was bidding his farewell with Reginald, Ace was having a conversation with Kaz in private."Kaz, you'll take command of the clan while I'm gone. Keep an eye on Vo as well, I'm worried he might be overtaken by his emotions especially since Jester knows his way around getting inside a person's head. Vorus can be reckless when not kept in line." He was referring to the way Vorus and Conroy acted when Jester appeared.'If Re
"Wh-what are you doing here? Rohan!"Jake grabbed the bars of the cell as he stares at the sight of someone he never thought he would meet in such a condition."I should be asking you the same." He raised his head to see Ace emerging from his shadow. "Ace? What's going on?""We're leading a rebellion against your brother by freeing the prisoners here to lunch a two-sided assault against his army that's currently on route to Kondo."Ace's precise and blunt summary of the situation fazed the two."Heh. You're still the same." Rohan smirked."Step back, I'll cut the bars." Rohan obliged and Jake slashed the hard metal bars of the cell.Rohan stepped outside and stretched his arms. "Thanks.""You're welcome."Rohan looked at Jake and spoke in an apologetic tone."Listen, Jake... I know all of this is my fa-""Enough. When we heard that Khan had overtaken both nations, we feared that he might've... Killed you. I'm glad you're safe, we all are."Rohan smiled at his long-time friend."Roro,
"Devil woman, we received word from the Demon spawn. They've succeeded in their infiltration mission and will join us in a bit."Rhea had a malevolent smile on her face."Gather everybody."A few minutes later, Rhea, the Enders, and the Aegises were all gathered around the castle entrance."Rada Khan is already near the outposts. It is time.""Everybody, gear up! Eat! Take a 10 minutes nap or whatever... We're going to war!"They all cheered in unison as they prepped themselves, physically and mentally."So, we all know our parts?"Rhea and Vorus nodded at Reginald."Hehe." Kaz slaps the back of the thief. "Don't worry about a thing, your plan is foolproof. We just have to hold on till the cavalry arrives.""Well then, as the Demon spawn will say... Let's do this thing."..."Woah."The alliance was currently staring off against Rada Khan's army."Hahahaha! Just as expected. Rhea Kay will join the party as well.""Khan! We should have just killed you off when we had the chance.""Oh b
Ace, Conroy, and Vorus had managed to defeat a weakened Jester.Conroy ran towards the City to get medics so the injured can be healed.While Ace, on the other hand, made his way back to the battlefield.A few moments ago..."Guys! Vo is in trouble, that Jester over there is a fake.""I was with him when he picked up Adacus earlier. He made off to the direction of the district. I thought he'd be back by now.""Tsk." Ace activated his Seismic Insight. Unlike before, it took him a while to activate.He was already tired from all the battling and using a wide-ranged sensory technique like that will drain him."Gotcha." He opened his eyes."Conroy, let's go!"That was how Ace and Conroy made their way to Jester."Hahaha." Rada Khan bursts into a peal of maniacal laughter."Your strongest asset has just abandoned you to fall at the hands of the clown."He pulled his sword as Kira followed suit."But don't worry, as the clown takes care of the trash, I shall round up here."They were curren
"Gantala! You bastard, what have you done!?"Gantala had stabbed Jake in the back. He didn't pay heed to the voices of Rohan, Rhea, and Chase who were calling out to their friend.Ace had just arrived. "What in the world is going on?"Gantala pushed Jake with his foot to withdraw the sword as he scrambled back to the side of Rada Khan.Rohan glared at the two. "You two were in this together, from the very beginning.""I'm afraid so, Roro. But you don't worry not one bit. I'll have you and all your friends here follow Jakey soon enough!""Then... When you said that Axel and Mel betrayed yo-""Those fools chose to die with their king. I chose to live with my emperor!""Gantala!"Driven with rage, Rohan charged at the former General as their swords clashed."Rhea, please give up. Surrender and all this will stop, if I say a word to my liege he will show mercy."Rhea stood silently as Kira urges her to surrender.Kira might have been following the wrong leader, but she has no malice towar
The battlefield shook with the vibrant cheers of everyone.Thanks to Conroy's quick actions in getting doctors, the fatally wounded received rapid first aid and were taken back to the city first.The total number of casualties on the ally's side was a mere 30 from the 100 that started the war and the 50 that provided backup with Ace.Although the casualties were below half. The allies still grieved the death of the others. It was one thing if they were only soldiers, but some of the citizens volunteered to join the war. "They fought valiantly for their freedom." "Their sacrifices were not in vain. That's what's important." The enemy side suffered a whooping casualty of 300. The soldiers were taken, prisoners."We'll have them all lend a hand in rebuilding the districts."Reginald, Jake, and Kaz having suffered the most from being stabbed spent three days in the infirmary."Hihi. Regi's awake guys!"Ace called out to his friends as they peered into the tent containing Reginald. "Wo
Clank! Boom! Boom! Swoosh!The location was the palace room within the Castle of Black Skull Island.A large muscular man standing seven feet tall was exchanging blows with Shuntal."Those two have been at it for five days now."Shuntal uses his speed to his advantage as he does not dodges a couple of straight jabs from the large man."Neither side looks as if they are ready to cave in.""Shuntal...win...for...vex."The man fighting Shuntal was none other than Don Barbaros.Shuntal flips over Barbaros and kicks him on the face. Unfazed, Barbaros grabs the leg of the Saint and slams him hard on the ground creating a man-sized hole in the process."Hahahaha." Jester laughs as he pauses to slurp down the juice he was carrying.Shuntal's broken bones healed almost instantly as he got back up.He was using the healing powers of the bird to rejuvenate.He pats Barbaros who had turned away.As the large man turned his head, Shuntal struck him with a palm imbued with his explosive aura sendin
