In a throne room devoid of sunlight with pillars lined up both left and right from the entrance door down to where the throne is.On the two sides of the throne is a statue of a roaring lion and on the throne sits a being who continues to excude an intimidating Aura belonging to that of a high class being dressed in an armless golden robe revealing his black leathered pants and a plain golden singlet with a huge and muscline body,His black hair in a haggard but well trimmed state and a bandholz beard,his golden eyes that makes it near impossible to stare into.He sits with his leg spread open and his left hand resting on his chin with his back relaxed on the throne,A great sword in between his spread legs resting on his right lap,Yes this pose is that of a dominating king one truly befitting an Emperor who rules over all with fear.Patrick Moss, The only Grand Duke of the Empire,It is known across the people of the empire that in terms of military might the Grand Duke comes secon
I shifted the carriage's curtain to look at the view outside,It really is a nice change of scenery,For once since coming to this world I am finally able to have a moment of respite and that makes my mind feel calm,I can feel my mental fatigue melting away. I have been pretty occupied with making up tactics to use against the Emperor and now one of the core components has taken the bait.The letter I received from the elves was an invitation letter personally from the Queen,At first I was baffled by her letter When I sent her an invitation of my own requesting an audience with her she did not reply to it and now she is the one inviting me. I postponed whatever it is that was stopping me from not going and hurried to heed her call.Having no knights can really be troublesome, I had to hire adventurers as my escort to the elf kingdom, one A rank party composing of three people, one female and two male,Caren Krige( white mage) Louis Riley (Warrior)Dexter Holcomb(Tank). when I
[Twenty years ago] [your father Zarek who had just assumed his father's position reached out to me in an attempt to strike a proposal with me] [one that would actually benefit both the Elf Kingdom and his fief or so he said] As you might have known we elves are not well taken amongst the humans and so to solve this problem[he proposed to turn his city into a place where humans and elves can coexist and cohabitate togethe][If it all goes well then the humans might get to see the elves in a better view] [but that was all a lie, a trick, that deceitful cunning bastard][he lured my subjects out of the elf kingdom and turned them into his slaves] [auctioned them off like they were rags, my subjects became an object of ridicule and the most painful of it all is not being able to do anything about it] [I watch as my subjects get hunted like animals with collars on their necks for the humans entertainment] [being killed off like bugs and now you his illegitimate son dares to invite m
This is a really amusing situation,my initial plan was to listen to and refuse whatever it is he was going to request forbut now he has my curiosity because he just said something unbelievable and supposedly undeserving of my time,claiming to be able to measure up to the Emperor is an absurd thinking even for a demon,I witnessed his powers first hand, I served as a scapegoat reminding others never to question his authority.It was an effortless win for him when faced against I and the beast king That is the kind of person he claims to measure up tobut what is this,this inability of mine to openly rebuke his words,I know he does not stand a chance against the emperor yet I can't say it out loud,the immense pressure that makes it impossible for me to refute to his words,"....." I see what is going on it is just like then when I was faced and helpless against him,the raw power that had me denying and doubting my worthiness.No this is different,there is no malice nor pride
The builders in charge of reconstructing the fallen walls of Edevin are currently being busy at work, there are those that are moving the building materials to their needed station and those carefully laying the bricks that forms the wall onto each other. Even though it was a tasking job the workers did it with enthusiasm while still chatting with each other. Their appreciation for the soldiers that died protecting them and for the appearance of a noble that shows his caring side for his people, opening up his food storage to feed the hungry and lessening tax and even increasing wages all just to ensure a better form of living for the working class. This are all benefits they would never dream of enjoying under the leadership of Zarek especially after the feudal dispute that just happened not too long ago, he would raise the tax even more with the excuse of using it to rebuild the town when he actually plans on embezzling it all. With the arrival of the illegitimate son the people's li
Ignatius hurls massive chunk of fireball at the lion and the centaur, the attack grazed their skin but they regenerated immediately, they fire off their own attacks at Ignatius in midair and he covers himself in flames to deflect the attack. The three engaged in an endless exchange of attacks with Ignatius on the losing side. "Tch" why did all this have to happen when he his not around, now I am unable to use my powers to its full potential. This is Ignatius complaining about the absence of Ophel and it is definitely not because he misses Ophel. Elemental spirits are beings who reside mainly in the spirit world and in there they are able to exercise their abilities to its full potential, the only way for an Elemental to breach the gap between the spirit world and the material world is through a contract. When a summoner enters a contract with a spirit both the summoner and the summonee are bonded together until they decide to terminate the contract, with the contract in effect the Su
Ricus is at a loss for words, shielding him from the Bull's axe is a white like figure that looks like it is clothed in a full body armor, but after taking a closer look, Ricus noticed that it is not an armor but a white exoskeleton body, Ricus jogged through his memory log to see if he could recall having any news on a type of monster with white exoskeleton and a firmly built body, no matter how Ricus tried, he found no positive results, the only monster that bears similarities to the ione in firoinnt of him is an ant but unlike the ant the monster is firmly built and the white body is unlike nothing he had ever seen. He knew one thing for sure and that is the monster before him is strong If he can leisurely stop an attack from an SSS Class monster with just one hand despite the difference in weight. Ricus felt fear and intimidation at the monster standing before him. Even though he had just been saved by the monster does not guarantee that the monster is on Ricus's side, it could b
Ricus surveyed his surroundings and noticed something odd, ants the same color as Acestes were roaming the streets no not roaming, it looked like they were searching for something. Ricus wondered if they were with Acestes since they have similar body structure except Acestes is bigger and better built in various ways. Ricus stopped in his tracks to monitor their actions, he noticed that the ants have seen him yet they do not attack infact there were unbothered about him, their attention and focus was to rummage through the fallen buildings in search of something. This further made it known to Ricus that the ants are not his enemies, As if to prove Ricus's claim to be true one of the ants pulled out an adult man from an already ruined building and rather than being thankful the man ran for his dear life, well it is understandable regardless of whether the ants are good or bad they are still monsters and a monster saving a human is unheard of. The ant however did not make any signs of be
