“Damn that Sorcerer! I was this close, this close to attaining the Yggdrassil!!!” a loud echo reverberated through the whole castle piercing the walls reaching outside where dark nimbuses gathered with tumultuous cracks within them.
The queen wasn't happy, that was expressed on her face. Her sanguine eyes reflecting what was brewing deep within her soul. Hatred, she hated that cursed sorcerer with every fibre of her body. Her pale completion ghostly white, giving her an undead appearance. She slammed her hand on the gold carved throne she was sitting on shaking the whole throne room.
A month had passed since Aether tricked her, she wasn't pleased that after working so much and so hard to incapacitate the sorcerer he pulled one on her, a fast one. Thinking about her failure made her even more furious added to the fact she and her men weren't able to locate where that bastard of a sorcerer went to.
The double doors leading to the throne room parted revealing the hallway built from alabaster. Large windows placed on each side allowing light to penetrate the hallway, a crimson carpet extended from down the hallway, through the hallway itself and into the throne room up to the foot of the throne.
Standing at the door was a guard wearing full armor. The guard removed the helmet attached to the armor revealing a feminine face underneath. Full lips, plump cheeks, short lashes were features that stood out second to the guard's piercing dark silver eyes and purple short hair. “Mi'lady what you've asked has been done.”
The woman on the throne, smirked. At least without the persky sorcerer, she would be able to fully conquer the lands for her own. She knew that she will be having a difficult time doing so, if Aether was around. Even a powerful individual as him, could not match up to her might.
She stood up from the throne, Qi accumulating outside her body as she dud so, in a flash of light. Her attire had changed from the regal one she was wearing to her full battle suit. The battlesuit consisted of dragon heads protruding from each shoulder blade, metallic arm, elbow and wrist guards. Black gloves, breast plate made from enchanted metal. A long white cape with an insignia of the red sun, a crown and a staff in hand. She slowly descended the stairs and calmly strode towards the guard. “Assemble the Night Owl. Tell them to prepare for war.”
The guard nodded and quickly left heading to inform the respective members of the Night Owl.
Watching the guard flee from her sight, the queen chuckled to herself, it was high time Elentia felt her wrath. She was going to shape the history of the world and make all kneel before her. She was determined to rule with an iron fist, strip the weak of their freedom and subjugate them. She stopped near one of the large windows, and faced in the direction of Elentia.
Perish!
She thought and opened her hand. Vast amount if Qi, generating from her and the surroundings gathered in her palm taking shape of a lance. The lance had a length of 10 meters and a radius of 30 with the tip being half the length of the lance itself. Polar opposite Qi, made from yin and yang rotated around the tip.
She reared her hand backward, moving her torso with it a bit. Her right foot placed a few inches ahead of the left, which was slightly bent at the knee. With a portion of her strength, she threw the lance through the window at top speeds which easily bested even hypersonic speeds in the direction of Elentia.
.
The kingdom of Elentia was enjoying its serenity when the barrier protecting the continent itself shattered and something came flying through heading to the royal palace. The king, Midas the XVII stood up from his throne. His bulky physique bulking up more as he caught sight of the incoming projectile. Midas removed the heavy golden armor he had on, leaving him bare chested exposing his rock hard physique. Veins appeared on his biceps as he endeavored his Qi across his body.
He knew that they kingdoms weren't safe from Linux wrath with Aether gone. And a kingdom which couldn't protect itself would fall in seconds to the wrath of that tyrannical witch. As such he took liberty in being protector of the weak but even he knew, that he couldn't handle the strength of Linux and her army alone that's why he had proposed formation of the Chalice Of Sovereigns.
Stepping to the balcony, Midas extended his hands forward, folding the pinky, ring fingers into his palm, trapping them with his thumb. The two fingers that weren't folded moved as he drew a circular motion before him calculating the distance he needed to send the incoming projectile.
VOID SENTRY!
The circle he drew with his fingers attained an obsidian hue while the middle of it turned into obsidian. A full body circle of obsidian pigment opened up as the lance hit transferring the lethal construct from the kingdom to the ocean. However as much as Midas tried to contain the impact recoil, he couldn't hold everything in. The tension and sweat on his ivory skin being the representation of his struggle as the byproduct of the lance tore through a quarter of the capital, reducing It to nothing but rubble.
The actual lance was transported to the sea outside of Elentia. It hit the water and a large explosion ensued as the energy composing the lance collapsed on itself exploding in the process. It towered over the kingdom, being visible to as far as Flegflum. The water visibly shook and massive waves pushed outward heading to the neighboring kingdoms reeking destruction. The blast radius of the explosion eroding away the landmass on the ocean floor covering the outskirts of Elentia. And in the middle where the lance impacted, was nothing but a deep, wide hole. The hole looked like a bottomless pit and had a radius of a mountain.
Linux scoffed as she felt her attack miss its mark. It seems like Midas learned something, she licked her lips and prepared herself for long ranged bombardment. Linux knew that alone, she could ragdoll the kingdoms individually but combined, she knew they were a force to be reckoned with. As such she prepared her most devastating ability as she opened the door leading into the meeting room where her generals, the night owls were waiting for her to arrive.
Midas huffed and collapsed to one knee, stopping that lance proved to be an even more difficult task than he had hoped. He took a breathe and got up, they needed to know about what had happened. The world wasn't safe anymore, with Linux rampaging out of hand. Deep down Midas cursed Aether, cussing him for abandoning them right when they needed to topple the witch.He came up to the round table and placed his hand on the edge, feeding the table his Qi, triggering a matrix to manifest covering the whole table in an array of complex designs before the pivot shot up and unfolded into a holographic monitor that was split into three portions. Each portion flared to life as three other rulers aside from him appeared.On the left was a man with a long auburn beard, pointy nose with wots on it. He had squinted eyes and auburn hair, his pale skin graced with wrinkles showing his age. He was the king of Flegflum, Astaroth Tara.Next to Astaroth, was a woman with an oddly shaped mouth. From the e
Just moments after disappearing from the room, Linux appeared above the castle she resided in. Her sanguine eyes staring at the horizon, specifically the direction of Enslynue. A grin stretched on her face as she jumped up, shooting through the clouds. Once above cloud cover, her back moved and from the shoulder blades emerged two wings, the wings were catalyst that carried her over the distance between Amalie and Enslynue.She penetrated the barrier without detection and navigated her way through the vast lands with pinpoint precision. Her detection ability locked onto the only person she was after, she reshaped her features with her transformation ability, hiding away her crimson hair, in exchange for a more tamed pigment being a mixture of grey and silver. Her skin tone also blended in, becoming a tad bit tan while her eyes turned to green.The transformation discarded her previous armor, and in its stead was a white flowing blouse, semi heeled strap shoes and tight fitting shirt.
Over the duration of six weeks, Linux frequently showed up to where Alucard was, and before the he knew it, he was falling for the woman slowly. She was charming, kind and mostly beautiful, qualities of a queen. But little did he know, a plan had been formulated and he was walking head first into its maw.Alucard arrived at the destination with the intent to tell Anastasia how he felt, he felt nervous. Fighting an army was better than this feeling he was feeling. As he arrived at the Peach tree, he saw her like usual sitting high on the tree branches. Wearing a pink dress reaching her knees and high heeled shoes. Alucard found himself staring at her as she was lit up by the sun and the reflection of the peach tree leaves giving her a whole new level of elegance.“Ehem.”Linux turned to look at the voice and a bright smile graced her lips. She jumped down and was caught by Alucard who twirled around for a bit then placed her on her feet.Their embrace lasted a few more minutes as the t
[With Linux]After giving Dracula the specific commands, Linux appeared at the top of the palace and made her way into the palace discretely. She navigated throughout the hallways following the predominant amount of Qi lingering in the atmosphere acting as guide to where she's supposed to go. Finally she came to a stop next to the large trapdoor. Excitement rushing through her veins as she opened the trapdoor. Her sanguine eyes following with the opening of the door.“Halt where you stand. Who are you and what's your business here.”Linux turned around upon hearing the commanding tone, she saw a couple of armed guards but she didn't have time to deal with them. Instead of speaking back, she raised her hand, unfolded her palm and in the pivot of the palm manifested a multicolored sphere.EYES OF ETERNITYA wave of purplish Qi escaped the confines of the sphere spilling into the room. Immediately the guards started to fall down one by one until none where standing, they were still alive
The Qi cover alarmed everyone within visual area, that included Lily, Midas, and Astaroth who were holding yet another meeting but this time in person. The three rulers shivered as they felt the uncontested rage and malice lurking within the Qi and they began to worry.Midas stood up and looked out the window, looking in the direction of Enslynue where the Qi originated from. In his mind he was against what his gut and heart was telling him, which was to go investigate the course but even he, knew that regardless of how Alucard behaved, the safety of the innocent shouldn't be ignored because of their ruler's ego. Before he knew it, the rain started to pour and heavily so. Midas turned to look at the two sovereigns and snapped his fingers opening a human sized spatial rift. “I'm aware that we all have mixed feelings about Alucard, but we must make sure that nothing bad happened to Enslynue.” Lily and Astaroth nodded, concomitantly rising from the seats. They both followed behind Mida
“The Novachrono family was a family of noble fighters who were considered to be one of the strongest clan's to ever set foot in Enslynue. Our ancestors came here back when the barren lands were intact and they along with the other five families separated a portion of the land from the mainland and such the continent of Enslynue was created. The Novachrono however, didn't rise to be the monarchs until the reign of Julian Novachrono.”A younger version of Alucard tentively listened to the man who sat before him and his three brothers. Like Alucard, Hael and Xerxes were eagerly listening waiting to hear what was next on the story about their family and its origin.“What happened next? I want to know.” Hael, Alucard's second brother asked avidity lanced in his voice and soon after Xerxes followed him, inquiring about what happened.The older man chuckled, and stroked his beard. His name was Azazel, the king of Enslynue and the father to Alucard and his three brothers. Azazel had long yet
After the declaration, Alucard didn't rise from the ground. He just laid there, hands cradling his head as tears started to well up in his eyes. He just couldn't understand, he couldn't get why his father was like that with him much like his two siblings.-Dorothy watched from the palace hallway with a sad expression. She couldn't intervene that much because she knew the truth as to why her husband was like that to Alucard. She blinked her tears away and left, leaving her words to linger about.“You will know one day Alucard.”-After a few minutes passed as Alucard laid there, he got up and dusted his clones. Wordlessly he left the yard and headed to the secluded part of the Palace, that side was Alucard's favorite hanging spot. It was filled with weed all around but in the center were crimson flowers, these flowers were called Red Spider Lilies.Alucard walked across the waist length weed and stopped next to the fl
Alucard after that day of hearing his mother and so called father quarrel and finding out the truth stopped playing nice all together. He spent his days training nonstop under the guidance of the woman he met in the cave. His Qi refinement and cultivation soared by leaps and bounds. Over three whole weeks, he trained in Qi control and cultivation, he also was preparing for the upcoming Dragon Talon tournament, he was going to claim what was rightfully his.Like every other day, Alucard was with the water spirit doing physical training when the woman in the water called out to him. Causing Alucard to stop whatever he was doing, and he went up to The edge of the water and sat down.“Why did you call me?”❝ For the past weeks you've been training on your cultivation skill and you managed to hone it to perfection, however there's one I want to teach you. ❞“OH? What could that one be?”❝ It is called Archetype: Accelerated Combatant Cultivation Technique. ❞“Archetype: Accelerated Combata
As the explosion died down, a bruised Arthur and Linux stood near the edge roots of energy. They held their breaths, anticipating to see the product of their combined effort to defeat the adversary before them. “Insolent fools,” Arodis's voice pierced through the dimensional rift as the last bit of energy circulating where he was dissipated. Arthur and Linux were astounded at the resilience the mechanical monster before them had, the attacks were enough to shake the void realm they were in and cause destruction on a greater scale and yet the target of their attacks only suffered getting his right side blown away. Their shock did not last long as the Qi levels started to rapidly rise, skyrocketing to a point the dimensional rift showed cracks in its edges. “Something is coming” Arthur informed his new comrade. Linux nodded, she could feel the foul Qi resonating around them. Having been connected to the Source, it made it easier for her to detect presences linked to Oblivion. Arod
Arthur spectated the interaction until the towering mechanical being hit Linux, he tightened his grip around his sword. Even if the woman was a menace and a thorn in his side, Arthur was not going to stand by and watch her get hurt. He dashes over to Linux and caught her. His gesture startled the woman who was unsure of what to do. She had been trying to ruin him at every chance she got and yet he was there to rescue her when she needed help. Why? Why was he so selfless? Everything was because of her, he lost everything. His friends, his reality, and his home world all because she was following a fool's goal. Linux looked at Arthur, “Why did you help me?” Arthur acknowledged her question but never paid attention to her. His eyes were focused on Arodis, the speed the latter had struck Linux with was something they had yet to deal with. His vision could not track the hand movement of Arodis until Linux was hit and Arthur was positive that he could track even light moving through
Linux dashed forward and delivered a roundhouse kick to Arthur, the latter blocked the attack with his right forearm and used his left hand to grab Linux's ankle. Arthur twisted his body around generating enough momentum to send Linux flying but instead of releasing his grasp, he smashed the latter on the ground creating a large crater with Linux's body. He was not done, he stabbed his sword near Linux's face and chuckled. The woman was as fast as ever, she managed to narrowly avoid his attack by just an inch when she moved her head. But it did not matter to Arthur, he still had a hold on her ankle. Or so he thought. Linux kicked Arthur on the chin making the latter stagger backward, slightly disoriented from the power behind the blow. Arthur regained his bearing and launched his attack; the black sword in his hand acting as an extension of his reach as he swung it in an attempt to slice through the woman. Linux was nimble on her feet, she easily evaded a majority of the attack
[Where am I?] [You are locked in the subconscious of your mind by Linux, right now the person using our body is not you.][I... See. So what are we going to do Aether?] [The only thing we had been doing ever since, we fight! With all our strength, I have a feeling that our salvation is coming.] Arthur nodded as he looked at Aether, the main conscience behind his actions. It had been a couple of months, maybe a year, since they last, sat down and had a conversation. [So what's going to happen once you complete your goal? Are you going to return to your home world?] Aether shook his head. There's no world to return to, everything was destroyed by Linux's wrath. He clutched his fists tightly and bit his lip. He was useless. He could not protect what his forefathers gave their lives to protect. He did not deserve to be a sorcerer Supreme. Sanz was better suited for the role but his lack of magical prowess got in the way. Aether has to admit something he had been running from. He
Dante dashed forward, crossing the distance between him and the controlled Arthur in a second. He appeared behind Arthur after he relocated and kicked the latter in the back with enough force to shatter the spine of Arthur. Arthur felt his insides grind up from the attack, it was as if his back was being pressed against his stomach. He could feel the bones cracking from the internal pressure. Arthur staggered forward from the kick and turned around only to receive a boot to the chin uprooting him from his feet, launching him into the air. Dante outstretched his arm and a Chakram blade appeared in the palm, he threw the blade with precision at Arthur aiming to slice the latter's neck clean. Arthur saw the blade and covered his most vulnerable part by bringing his head forward, the Chakram cut through his left eye as it narrowly missed his neck. He landed on the ground and placed a hand on his eye, he had one vision now and he could not focus because he was hearing whispers in his
As Evangelist screamed in the illusion world, her screams escaped her mouth startling the others with her. The woman writhing at their feet startled them, they looked at the woman who was holding her head and looked at Arthur. “What did you do to her?” Lily asked looking at Arthur as she cradled Evangelist in her arms. Concern for the woman flashed in her eyes. She saw how protective Arthur was toward the woman in her hands, he threatened them the first time they met and put himself in harm's way for her safety. So why? Why did he attack her like that? The cause of the mental anguish the woman in her arms was the glowing eyes from Arthur, after they glowed, Evangelist behaved rather oddly for Lily even if she was not around her for a long period of time. Arthur stared at the woman unsympathetically, he felt nothing even when she screamed. Hearing Lily ask what he had done, he stared at Lily as well. “I merely put her in an illusion, if she can't win against her past she's weak
Arthur took a look at the gate opened by Linux, his eyes peered through the gate seeing across the dimensions. He knew he made a grave error in calculations but he had to, to match the power of Linux it was imperative for him to release the seal. He flickered across the battlefield and appeared before Linux, he threw a punch at the latter who blocked his punch. Linux kicked Arthur away from her only for the latter to pounce back and be on the assault once again. She diverted and blocked his attacks retaliating with her own. Each time their attacks met, the land shook and the earth split into two. The winds roared as they rippled across the battlefield and the entirety of the globe.Arthur jumped back distancing himself from Linux, he dodged to the side seeing the horde fire attacks where he was standing. He gritted his teeth and looked around him. The army of legions surrounded him, closing every escape route he had. But Arthur was not intimidated, he could deal with a majority o
Granger sneered at Arthur, he was a pest on his side. He did not know when to give up and walk away, the latter was always meddling in his ambitions acting as a hindrance to his goals. Ever since he got word of him, he had been wary of Arthur, he organized the summit between rankers in an attempt to kill him but that failed too. Arthur reminded Granger of someone. Granger chuckled remembering that one friend he had back in his timeline. He was like the man before him, obnoxious, he never knew when to stop probing into people's businesses until he got killed. Arthur looked at the chuckling man, he raised an eyebrow wondering if the latter had gone senile. “What is so funny?” Granger hummed upon hearing the question, what was funny? He looked up at the ceiling unable to find the right words. He contemplated his choice of speech before he began to reply.“You remind me of someone, a person I held dear to me,” Granger replied reminiscing of the past. Held dear? Those words held mean
The battle began between the last two individuals transported away by Midas. They were at a mountain range, the winds were chilling cold as they pillaged the lands like travelers, caressing everything they touched.The weather was humid yet tumultuous at the same time as it caved to the Qi the two fighters had. Standing near the foliage on the mountain peak was a young man standing at 5 foot 7 inches, he wore Israeli clothing consisting of a white blouse shirt, strap-on sandals, and a large coat above. On his waist was a rope that had a small bag connected to it. He was David, the one who had a blessing from the all-father. Also known as the Goliath Slayer. Alucard peered at the man standing before him, he was not that impressive. His body physique was average at best, with no defining muscle structure but there was something about the man that made him take the fight seriously. He could not place his finger on it, but it felt as if he was staring at an even greater being than he
