THE GUARDIAN'S FINAL QUEST- Adams journey to six worlds

10 The three musketeers.

Hero walked out of from the tree house after he bid Elena fair well, walking in the lonely barely noticed the five students huddled in a corner of the trees until it was too late. Suddenly, they sprang into action, surrounding him with an air of intimidation.

"Hey there, newbie," one of them sneered, blocking his path with a cocky grin.

Hero’'s heart raced as he sized up the group before him. They were like a pack of wolves, their eyes glinting with mischief and challenge. "What do you want?" 

"Oh, just a little initiation," another student chimed in, stepping forward with a menacing smirk. 

“It took you so long to get here aswhole! Did you enjoy chatting with the princess? If you did, I hope you have warmed up to receive the consequences of your actions. You little Brat" Said the voice of Charles slandered at Hero.

Looking at the five Assaliant's, Charles and Jefferson was the only new builies. From their outfits of Tunis, he could tell they are from mage academy.

“Is it not against the rules for mage students to fight students of Adventurers academy? What purpose do you have with me?" Jefferson folded his hands into his arms and was just staring at Hero without saying a word. Charles orders three bullies after Hero he knew too well.

Hero looking at the trio's like giant before him was afraid but he decided not to show fear. He convinces his mind that at that moment the fear he was feeling was just an illusion and all he had to do is just focus on finding a way to win. Hero glaring his eyes at Gerrand upfront of the trios he knew too well.

" You don't have to worry. I employed your students to do the beating on my behalf. We just want to watch the show and mark to you as a sign of warning what will happen when you commoner skeleton like your self gets close to the princess again"  Charles continue to talk and all that went through Hero's mind is how to beat the villain's in front of him.

I just need to get rid of this fat big one first. Suppress my emotions and make them feel the fear I'm feeling. It doesn't even have to be quick. If I succumb in fear and coward a way, they would still catch me and deal with me but if I stand my ground and make them feel fear. Then it would be killing or be killed war.

 Gerrand smiling folding his fist walked to Hero and lifts his right hand up to the air. Hero's eyes rows down the pants of the Gerrand.

“Just stay down and this will be really quick as ususal" Gerrard smirk

Gerrand swings his right arm horizontally for a slam aimed at Hero's face but Hero ducks his head by bowing which allows Gerrard's palm to swing past his head. He quickly grabs the front tips of Gerrand's trousers close to his shoes and pulled it up with all his might.

 Gerrand losses his stands and falls on the ground crashing the back of his head on the cobblestone floor. Gerrand held his head but before he could say jack.

Hero jumped in the air already storming his foot a top Gerrand's chest. Gerrand felt pain but before he could recover, a kick from Hero's foot slams Gerrand's face violently and forcefully.

"You f*ucking bastard" Desmond a fat student watching the entire scene shocked, angrily moved up front to grab Hero's but quickly Hero reach for the sand floor and pours it into Desmond's eyes.

"My eeeeyes" Hero uses his elbow to further slam violently into Desmond's right eye.  Desmond covering his face from the pain and instant headache. Hero clears Desmond foot to the ground. Brad was one of the bullies who usually harass hero when it was time to take the student bully fee. He was shocked the way Hero moved as it was the first time Hero had attacked them in a fight.

"Who the hell is this guy?" Brad regaining his self decides to rush at Hero however Hero reached for his belt quickly and pulls it out and swings the metal handle part of the belt into the air. Brad running towards Him sees a belt descending down crashing on his head violently. Brad screams in pain, Hero forcedly rammed the metal handle with all his might accompanied by share amount of force on brads head. Hero lifts his eyes looking down at them and said

“I have had a enough of your annoying bully games”

 Charles looking at Hero was shocked to see how He handled three delinquents so easily but the battle was not over as Gerrand roused up from the ground boiling in anger. He begins to run towards Hero however Hero's belt already swings the air at his direction with the metal rod of the belt striking his head violently accompanied by share amount of force. Gerrand screams in more pain. The two boys and gerrand rushed forward at the same time holding Hero's body, griping tight his arms preventing him from moving and Gerrand sees an opportunity to pick a brick stone from the ground. They lift it into the air however at that moment, Hero's hand moved and suddenly like rope twisting together. Gerrand's hand began to twist and bend along with his bones. Hero instantly discovered that his blood magic was working.

He stretches his hand and grabs the air aiming at the neck Gerrand. Gerrand surprised thought someone had grabs his neck however he noticed no one had grab him however he felt his body lifted up by something invisible, moved and slam his body to the wall violently until he falls on the floor.

Suddenly brad and the other body lifted into the air and slammed to the ground by something invisible.

“So I got your boys and what will you do?" Hero said as he dusts his body. Jefferson surprise, as he walked forward unsheathed his sword. “I don't know what you did but I am interested to see how powerful you are. You might be a threat if you remain by the side of the princess" Jefferson stomped his foot on the ground with power and accompanied by share amount of wind and power, he moved into the air thrusting his sword straight at Hero..

1 Eliot and Betty stood in front of a two-story tavern house to find Boris. They walked inside and Eliot closed the door behind him. In front of them was a restaurant type of wooden design with stairs to the up floor. Some group of able-bodied me were seated scatted across the wooden room.

“Who is Boris the informant?" Eliot drops a bag of coins on the front desk in front of a man.

“And who is asking?" A bald slim man with brown sharp eyes questioned Betty as she unfolded a piece of cloth with two swords crossed and showed it to the man.

“The white crossed sword” The man stroked his beard

“It seems like you know who the owner of this emblem is so I would ask nicely. I would like to obtain as much information as possible and of course for the right price of Gold. Who is the lord of this emblem" Eliot Brandish the bag open and it was filled with shinning Gold coins

“How about we do this, I am not going to tell you who he is, however" Boris looked at them and smiled

“I will be taking the bag of Gold for you to walk away right now, that’s if you value your lives “Boris whispered and the big guys in the tavern rose on their feet. A group of guys grabbed different knives, axes, and weapons and laughed looking at the duo.

“Just drop the bag of Gold and scram" A big pale pale-skinned hairy man slams a rod with sharp spikes at the end of the edges of the desk. Betty looked at them adjusting her large glasses and Eliot said.

“I thought I asked nicely but it seems you will have it the other way.” Suddenly ice mist and cold fog filled the room. Eliot who was as big as the man shut the door behind him and clapped his hand at the group. “alright Chaps! Let's have fun."

Betty without hesitation pulls out a short dagger and thrust it vertically into the air. Boris was about to pull the bag of gold when the dagger pierced into his right-hand squash to the table.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

........

Jefferson's sword thrusts through the air at Hero’s face however He pulls back swinging his right hand in the air to aim for Jeff’s face. Jeff’s body was slammed to the wall next to him forcefully by an invisible pressure however this only made him angry as Jeff’s vanished from sight and appeared in front of Hero out of thin air and grabbed Hero's neck. Hero tried his powers but it suddenly turned off.

“Let’s see that trick you did on them will work on me" Jefferson was taller than Hero and he tried to lift Hero by his sheer size but His strength failed him as Hero possessed more strength in his body.

“What are you made of? Some block of stone. How can you be so heavy?" Questioned Jeff surprised as he continued to attempt to lift Hero by the neck.

He tries to squeeze Hero’s neck however Hero sees a perceptive Vision of Jefferson. Hero saw the crossed emblem, a team that tried to assassinate the king and Princess Elena. He sees an army belonging to the Duke of Northridge Sir Robert the First.

As Jefferson squeezed harder, trying to suffocate him. Hero unable to control the vision he was looking at suddenly spoke out.

“You are trying to assassinate the princess and the king." Jefferson who knew the secret to himself shocked to the bone that he let Hero off his hands. Charles had rushed from nowhere stomping his foot on the ground with power hoping for a surprise attack.

“How do you know....?" Jeff questioned

Charles stretched his hand at Hero and grabbed his cloths “What are you saying? Jefferson trying to kill the princess, you have gone too far with your jokes peasant son of a baronet" Charles held the neck of Hero but Hero saw another vision of Charles and his mother in the bathtub. Hero's eyes gleam at him

“Oh I see, you too are trying to use the princess to climb the ladder of power. You want to be king but I am the obstacle in your way". Charles was shocked as well pulling away from him. He looks at Jeff with a corner of his eyes and a thought flashes into Charles's mind. ‘ If Hero has some telepathy vision then Jeff truly trying to kill the king is true but why, he is an obstacle.

“What to do? I don't intend on stepping down” While Charles looks at Jeff observing the atmosphere of attack trying to predict what Jeff might do, Hero slams his foot on Charles's stomach pushing him to the ground before he can gather his thoughts completely.

Jefferson resolved his mind. ‘He might know something. I need to kill him for telling the princess the secret”

Jefferson moved forward enveloping his sword with dark magic, his body covered in dark energy with a murderous intent to kill, and swung horizontally aimed for Hero's neck however Hero took a step backward and stretched his right hand at that very time. Jefferson felt somebody grab his head and the ground in front of him ever came closer to his face as his face slammed violently on the ground.

Like a tailor needling a piece of cloth, Hero moved his fingers and Jefferson experienced his both hands bend and twist like wrapping cloth. He screams out of pain. Hero moved his hand to the air. Jefferson experiences his body moving on his own slam against the wall. He collapsed to the ground.

Charles turned his back to run however he felt his body lift from the ground as if someone grabbed him by force and slammed him against the wall. He falls to the ground and collapsed.

“I need to see the princess. This is bigger of a threat than I thought it was"

......

Boris was laid flat screaming in pain on the table and Betty's knife was closer to Boris's cock.

“If you don’t tell me what I want. Your cock will come flying out of your manhood" Eilot spoke and Betty lifts the knife and rammed into the air closer to Boris's cock.

" Kkkkkkkkyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaah! I will talk. I will talk, don’t don't destroy my cock"

“Then talk or else it comes off" Boris Looked at the wooden floor of the tavern inn, his men were all taken out by the duo. A dagger flew into his hand and came flying thrusting to another man’s arms. Cold mist covered the room and all he knew that he found himself on the table with his men knock out cold. Luckily, no one had died.

“The Duke of Northridge Robert the first, all information you need is hidden in a ledger in the castle. A vault locked by the magic spell"

“What does the ledger contain “Eliot questioned as Betty thrust the dagger ever closer to his cook tearing a piece of his pants torn by the sharp blade.

" Kkkkkkkkyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaah! It contains the proof of all illegal mines of children Mining mana stones, drugs, and the names of lords of Mercia and Northridge who participated in it. Robert is a careful man and he keeps the secret just In case any lord tries anything stupid"

“Good! See it's not that hard. I will get going then"

“What about the gold" Boris question

“I will be keeping my Gold for the work you put me through" Betty folded her hand into a fist and Boris saw the fist slammed into his face. A Flash of light and he was knocked out. Eliot and Betty let go and walked out the door

......

Hero entered the steam mage academy, his milk lace sleeves stood out as nobles who saw him made way for him. They looked at him with disgust and irritation, Hero checked the environment for Elena however she seemed not to be around.

Some knight seniors of the mage academy were searching for Hero for entering the school without permission however Samson was quick to grab him into a storage room.

“What the hell are you doing? You can't badge into mage academy. If the knighted mage sees you, they will lock you up"

“I had no choice but the princess is in danger. The owner of the Emblem is the Duke of Northridge and....." Hero explains everything that happened.

“It is not a bad lead, but the Duke of Northridge is powerful. He is second to the house of Mercia and does the bidding or say dirty works. We need some proof or evidence to move the enforcers to attack the castle" Samson puts his finger on his forehead to think when Betty and Eliot open the storage room.

“What are you two doing? Making out in a dark room” Eliot pulls his beard.

Samson pulls the duo into the storage room and shuts the door. The mage academy knight ran across the hall.

“How did you know we were here” questioned Hero

“We saw you walk in but never mind. What’s going on?” Eliot Questioned

“We must invade the castle of Northridge tomorrow Night. We grab the evidence, report to the princess and the princess tells her father and then we can move the army" Betty cuts in with a sigh of language.

“Yeah, but we need to move a lot faster now since Jefferson knows. He might want to shift the evidence. We must make haste. We need a plan? It seems the lord is going to fight the king" The group arranges a plan and that same day, they grabs some sword items.

Hero in the bunker remembering all the thoughts from a flashback. “ this are Hero’s perceptive visions flowing through me from the system. This must have been what happened before he died. Suddenly, the doors of the bunker opens up and Jefferson and two others walked in angry.

I recognized the emblem of two crossed swords on his armor. It was the armor emblem of the Duke of Northridge, who had gathered an army of seven thousand strong, and he planned to kill the princess and stage a coup to have his son ascend the throne. However, I believe Hero in his past stumbled upon something that he should not have.

The young lord walked up to me and greeted me with a punch and my back was pushed against the wall held by three youths. “Who are the watchers of the night parade?” his voice muffled in my ears. Jefferson narrowed his blue eyes at me as he questioned

"How dare you, son of Baronet, attend the Princess crowning ceremony? Did the Duke of Northridge not forbid you to speak with the princess or come close to her? You thought you could easily get away after all the menace you created.” Peter cuts in

Tsk! Hero was one step away from reporting a situation, How do I let these punks know that I am Neo and not Hero?

"How is he alive? Did the poison not work?" Jeffs cuts in on my thoughts.

“Hey punks, One question at a time,” I slandered at them. Anger flashed in Jeff's face.

Jefferson lifted his hand and rammed it with all his strength another satisfying punch into my stomach. As he withdrew his fist, he stared at me with smiles and satisfaction on his face. “Who is the night parade, and where is the ledger you stole from my castle?” his fist slammed to my face and all i saw was a light before I collapsed.

Night parade! Ledger, ledger, my brain racked for more information, and Hero’s memories flooded into my mind.
