As Astra watched the hands of the female guard shatter the shield, she knew immediately who her opponent would be. ‘I must watch carefully how she fights and come up with effective ways to counter her attacks or there is no chance for me at all.’ She thought.Back on the ring in the middle of the arena, the black knight has regained balance and stood back up, he threw away the shattered fragments of the shield he is still holding and grabbed the large club he is holding with two hands now; he dashed back towards her at full speed, this time around however, the female guard started running towards him as well.The two of them met in the middle of the ring with the black knight jumping into the air as high as a person his size could get, at the peak of his jump he placed the club on his shoulder and started swinging it sideways as hard as he could.Astra was expecting the strong female guard to use her hands to block the large metal club since she was strong enough to shatter the shield
As soon as Astra and Adriel went back to the his castle, she walked straight to the library and washed up, when she came out of the shower a servant was waiting for her with some clothing that Adriel has personally asked them to get for her.She collected the clothes and dismissed the servant; as soon as she finished dressing, she went back to the library reading area and found him waiting for her.“You are finally out, I thought you would take forever to come out of your room. By the way, you should know that although I know this is just a disguise appearance, I should let you know that you look gorgeous in the dress!” he said.Astra was in a dress that resembles what she would call a gown by standards back on earth, but she is not sure why Adriel will want her to wear such a fancy dress the night before they embark on a perilous journey that is so dangerous to be used as a yardstick for evaluating might, courage and ability of he next king of an important house in the empire.”“Well
Astra’s mouth was wide open at this moment, she was already out of her seat and pacing up and down the library.“You mean to tell me those spheres were only drones?” she said, coming to a stop in front of the prince again. Standing face to face with him at the moment, looking into his eyes with an intensity that Adriel knows will freeze anyone who is not of royal blood.“Let me ask you one final question Prince Adriel Agnus. Depending on the answer you give, I cannot guarantee what will happen next. Just what does your fancy empire view us humans as? Your appearance and bodies may be a little different from us right now but you are still humans no matter how I look at it.” Astra asked.Adriel stood from his seat with fresh sweat breaking on his forehead from the scary look in Astra’s eyes.“Unfortunately, the Centaurian empire does not categorize the Terrans as equals. Although intelligent, the five kings have decided to disregard the rights of your people. Normally, we would be the o
At first the treasury room was dark, but as soon as the two of them stepped inside, the entire treasury lighted up.Astra took a careful look around and saw shelves and shelves of assorted books, guns, swords and all form of things that she has no idea what they are, or even what they are supposed to be used for. The shelves are arranged on the walls as far up to the ceiling of the room, they are all over all of the walls of the room.Adriel walked straight to the lower left corner of the shelves and picked a box from there. He walked back to where Astra was standing and opened the box in front of her, producing wo items from it. The first item being a black colored ring that has the same engravings on itself at the one that Astra used to get to Centaurus.“What is this for?” She asked.Adriel placed the ring on Astra’s hand and proceeded to pick out the other item from the box.“You were taking this by force from the black knight earlier so I thought that you may need it. It is a dim
From the distance of about two hundred meters from where Astra and Adriel are facing off the large gorgon, Claria was lying down on the gigantic branch of one of the trees in the forest, with a colorless beam gun in her hand pointed at the gorgon.‘That Argonaut demon is a gorgon, it looks pretty tough, it should be in its third metamorphosis stage before it transforms into a true demon, that is a royal helion spear he is holding a weapon that only the likes of my master can wield at the command of his majesty the king, but can the prince really take care of this strong demon?’ the female guard wonders as she take aim to assist the prince if he gets in danger without leaving any serious trace of her interference.Through her scope, she watched as Astra charges at the monster with only two shiny swords that can hardly do anything. “but she was able to dent the morphing blade of the black knight so maybe she can at least injure and weaken it for the prince to land the finishing blow.” S
Claria followed them from behind in a distance that they would not notice them as they exit the forest. “The narrative about the prince being a pampered spoiled noble that cannot even participate in the royal houses games. But he is a noble after all, if he can wield the helion sphere without being turned to dust, he is not to be underestimated.” She said to herself, activating her gravity boots and to keep up with them.About fifty meters in the front, outside the forest, Astra and the prince have just gotten out of the forest, the sight in front of her was unlike she has ever seen in her entire life. Adriel and the guards, including the books she has read about the regions outside the empire’s five colonies.‘They keep calling it a desert each time they talked about it, but that could not be more misleading because this is not exactly a desert. It is not wrong though to call this a desert but it would be more appropriate to call this a wasteland.’ Astra thought.The planes extend as
**(HOUSE ESTELONA, CENTAURIAN EMPIRE.)** Shina emerges from the dark alleyway that leads to the sacred place in the Estelona territory, the chamber of darkness. Wearing his usual all dark attire that has a hoodie covering his entire face, he was greeted by his shadow legion that has bee waiting for him at the edge of the shadows scattered all over the place. “My lord, an esteemed guest has been waiting for hours to see you.” The leader of the legion said and bowed his head down. Shina walked past him slowly, from behind, the shadow legion already know what to do, scattering all over the place instantly and following him from the shadows as he walks down to the entrance of the guest waiting room. As son as he opens the door, he was met with the stench of grease and engine lubrication oil. On the seat reserved for him sat the gigantic image of King Skar of house Tyra munching on the meat he has asked to be served. With food still in his mouth, he said. “Look who finally decided to
Back in the abandoned plane of the outer territories of the Centaurian empire, Astra stood at the edge of a mountain together with prince Adriel, from behind them, a large horde of different kinds of monsters have gathered having noticed them thanks to Adriel’s carelessness and inability to conceal his presence as they move. In front of them is the lava field, as far as a two hundred meters in front of them is a region that is scorched by focused rays of the sun. the floor of the region is heated by \solar beams so hot and concentrated that the rocks on the ground become red hot while the sand melt and form glass. A majority of the region is covered by the red hot rocks that radiate heat for Astra to be feeling light headed just by standing near the lava field. Astra raised her head up and looked at the sky, she saw an incredible thunderstorm gathering above, from side to side, pierced by the beams of the sun that are heating the floor of the lava field. “This region called the lava
