Luckily, we had already packed our things into our inventories.Cassandra and I quickly made our way out of the city and started moving towards the Kalsan border.Honestly, I was somewhat fearful of going there right now...I knew Valthiem was watching us and would notify Difar as soon as we arrived.We were about to be spending a lot of time with one of the two people I despise the most.I couldn't wait to get it over with...Currently, night had fallen upon us and we were in the middle of the deep forest between Albatross and the border.Cassandra planned to move as quickly as possible for an entire day and then rest when we had enough distance.I used the 'haste' and 'haste other' spells to make us faster.We were actually exhausted from running all day and currently had collapsed on the ground."We...made a lot of...progress...haah...haah..." Cassandra said."Yeah...we did..."I knew that we'd made at least four days distance between us and the capital.Unfortunately, they knew wh
"Mizik! And is that Princess Cassandra? When did you get here!?" My father said as he approached."Hey, Dad. It's good to see you again. Amelia too. Also, we just arrived," I said.Suddenly, both Ulysses and Amelia looked at me strangely."I...haven't introduced myself. How do you know my name?" Amelia asked."I've met you before, that's how," I said."Wait...is this coming from Warmage?" Ulysses asked."I'm Warmage. Or I was, at least... Before I was killed," I said."What have you done to my son!?" Ulysses said."I am your son, Dad. Warmage is Mizik. I merged with the one in this body. We're the same person, remember? I explicitly said that I was Mizik Iratus."Realization dawned on him."Oh...so how did you die?" He asked."That's a long story. Since I'm here now, we have some time to kill before our asshole of an ally shows up," I said."Well, how about you take us somewhere to talk then, Amelia?" Ulysses said."With pleasure. And...is it really okay for her to be here? I mean...s
"Star of the show? You have got to be kidding me. Get over yourself!" I said.I couldn't help myself. One of the primary sources for my constant suffering was standing right before my eyes."AND THEN YOU JUST HAD TO OPEN YOUR STUPID MOUTH!" Difar yelled as he turned to me."Careful, Difar, if you yell at me too much, I might kill myself out of sadness. Then you'll reset again," I said."You...BASTARD CHILD!!! I HATE YOU, YOU LITTLE SHIT!!! JUST SHUT UP!!!" He screamed in anger."Excuse me...? What is going on here?" Isabella asked in confusion."Ah. It seems as though Mizik's little wife is now an enemy. How fitting. Are you enjoying your time opposing him instead of pleasuring him?" Difar asked.Isabella glared at Difar as her face turned red."H-HOW DARE YOU!!! I WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING TO THAT ROTTEN PERVERT! AND HOW MANY PEOPLE HAS HE BRAINWASHED!?" Isabella screamed.I slapped my forehead with my hand."Ugh...this dense woman!!!" I said.Difar looked back at me and grinned."
After that, Cassandra quietly followed me as I searched for Difar.I felt as if my heart had truly become cold.Isabella had forgotten me...I couldn't blame her...but I didn't want to have her around anymore.She only caused me pain...I would look forward into the future from now on. I would face my enemies and destroy them all.Currently, my goal was to regain my lost strength and become even stronger.I would need to murder Tyranus, first.Then, once the false wielder had been eliminated, I would go to Ignitus and have Iris make Cassandra and I into Enforcers.Lastly, I needed to visit Delvandal and have Vakra implant me with the Heart of the World. I wanted to avoid getting the Heart of the Sky if at all possible...That one could stay in Jin's tomb and rot, for all I cared.Instead, I would see if the Heart of the Deep could work on Cassandra.I would need Leiso to help kill the guardian. If not, I would still find a way.Or I could have Valthiem eat it, hopefully.As I walked,
After Isabella had returned from her horrifying trip to the border, the first thing she did was get herself cleaned up.She threw away the clothes that she had soiled and silently cried her eyes out on her bed.She had never felt so humiliated in her life...That man who married her sister, Cassandra, had made her look like a fool.He commanded some kind of monster to devour her entire army in an instant. Including her caretaker and bodyguard, Walter Orthright.He had been like a loving uncle to her... Always watching over and protecting her.Walter was gone...and Mizik had uttered some strangely ominous words to her before he ordered the monster to gaze into Isabella's eyes.What she saw when she looked into that things eyes, could only be described as a place that felt like an endless chasm of nothingness.Isabella had never been so terrified in her life.She cursed the name Mizik Iratus as she cried silently to herself.In fact, she hadn't even informed anyone of her return.She wa
As Isabella walked into the place called 'The Sleeping Dragon Inn', she had only one goal in mind.Execute anyone and everyone with any links to the traitorous and evil hero Mizik Iratus.Currently, she wore the full suit of armor granted by her sword, Bravery. She held its shield at her side and wore a helmet that matched her armor to hide her face.A young and cheerful girl with brown hair approached with a smile."Welcome! My name is Aria! Can I get you a table?""Hello, Aria. I won't be needing a table. My name is Rose. There are two things I want, instead. The first, is information on a man named Mizik Iratus," Rose said."Oh! My nephew! He's my sister's son! Although she died a while ago... His father raised him into such a nice boy! Mizik came to visit here before he left to go marry Princess Cassandra. Is he doing well? We all miss him so much!" "He is a criminal who abducted Princess Cassandra and has killed hundreds of Albatross soldiers. He allied himself with an evil bein
Difar placed his hand on Extinction's blade."Valthiem, do me a favor and prevent those two from experiencing any...collateral damage..." Difar said calmly.We were suddenly surrounded by a field of Valthiem's power again.Difar's sword began glowing much more."Perhaps you'll enjoy the power of blast radius? Let's see how much you can take!!!" Difar said.He raised Extinction and brought it down over Rose.The resulting pillar of Corrupted power was enough to create a huge chasm where Rose had been standing.But she hadn't allowed it to hit her.She shot towards Difar and he was impacted by several streams of exploding light.Then I felt it...What once gave me courage and determination beyond anything else...Was now something horrible...I felt utter terror just looking at Rose.Her ability, Almighty Presence had activated."Damn it all... Curse you, Vakra... You created a damn monster!" I said."GAAAHHH!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?" Difar screamed.It seemed like her light magic had
When I looked around, I saw that the room was currently empty."Umm...is she away right now?" I asked."I don't know. Probably? But when she senses us, the goddess of washboards will likely come over like a good doggie," Difar said.Ignoring his comment, I walked over to one of the thrones and examined it.Not for any particular reason, of course. I was trying to pass the time.This was a restricted area and only high level Attendants and Enforcers were allowed this far up.The throne room was also usually only reserved for Enforcers and Enforcer candidates.Meaning that we wouldn't have to worry about the language barrier if we ran into someone.Cassandra, who had not taken her eyes off of me since we arrived, moved closer."Darling, can I have a kiss?" She asked hopefully.I kissed her and she smiled."Please don't start again. At least wait until I'm out of the room. Valthiem already told me what you were doing last night..." Difar said."What!? Was she spying on us!?" I asked."On
