[Above Ground – Kraken City]King Raksha or, rather, the pirate king, made his way to his office. A place that nobody can easily enter. After all, leaving himself alone with another person is a recipe for disaster. There are too many individuals that want to take him down for him to rest easy talking privately inside a room. That rule isn’t applied to the current moment though. There is a person inside his office that day. Waiting for him as he finishes the conversation in the prison and, now, it’s time for them to meet.“Did you wait long?” King Raksha said as soon as he entered the room.“No. Just a couple of minutes.” His guest said as this person sipped a cup of coffee. “I hope you don’t mind though. I already made myself at home and poured one cup.”Meanwhile, the pirate king only sighed. It’s not like there’s anything problematic with what this person did. His guest has already been marked with a crest that prevents him from touching anything off limits within that room. That’s
The following day, everything continued the way that Philein intended it to. Lazaro got a contract with King Raksha which prevents him from disclosing anything he might have seen or heard to the outside world. He’s also forbidden from coming back to the city. Lastly, even though there’s a very small chance of it happening, Lazaro is forbidden from taking part in any plans that would result in the death of Raksha.The binding contract was finished quickly without any hitch. As a result, they’re able to proceed to the next part – kicking Lazaro out of the city. If there is anything about this which Lazaro can be applauded for, it’s the fact that he remained in his disguise the entire time.Up to the very last second, right before he is teleported out of the city, he continued using the face and body of Kelzio. Even though the pirate king has told him time and time again that it’s not believable, he still proceeded with it like a stubborn kid. And so, this is also his appearance once he
Kelzio died.No.Kelzio is assumed to be dead.There was never any corpse found but, the pirate prince is assumed to be dead. That’s the only logical thing that can happen as far as Lazaro is concerned.When Merlin Warlock went berserk inside the city together with his three trusted monster generals, a great catastrophe fell upon it. The barrier of this great city that never yielded, shattered from the highest point. From this came an earthquake unlike anything that the city experienced before. With houses falling down left and right and stronger buildings receiving the same fate.Then came the hail of darkness. The explosions caused by the demon lord Merlin who did not spare a single soul in this act of mass murder. He killed anyone and everyone and, as this happened, his bombardment reached the quarters of Kelzio.Lazaro himself confirmed Kelzio’s death because of this. There are remains of a human that are burnt and smashed within the rubble of Kelzio’s abode. As far as the illusio
I am Kelzio.For the longest time, I’ve been one of the few that has gone unnoticed within Avalon. Though Merlin plays a large part in this, part of it is also caused by the fact that my allies naturally outshine me. They paid more than what my parents could afford in the game and, as such, I have been granted one of the lesser job classes. The highest rank nonetheless but, still, a lesser job class.I was a gunman in the game. You’d think that this is actually a good job class because of the weapon that’s superior to others in the real world. But in the game, there are other variables considered within this job class. Accuracy, reload speed, piercing, number of bullets and many more.Due to the numerous constraints of my job class, I wasn’t able to get a lot stronger. I didn’t need to since we have Merlin doing everything for us. All the fighting is dealt with by that monstrous excuse for a human. But that didn’t stop me from trying to get stronger. An attempt that failed until my l
“Are you done?” Philein asked, walking towards Kel and Laz after an hour.“Yes. Sorry for the wait.” Kel said as he bowed his head.After telling the part about his alliance with Philein, Kelzio gave a quick rundown on how he escaped the capital. How he is given a body double by Philein which can be used to substitute him to a lifeless form of his body while the real one gets teleported back to base. Using this, Kelzio escaped the city while leaving behind enough evidence for everyone to agree that he’s dead.Of course the story aligns with Lazaro who is granted the same item. The [Demon Core] resides within his body as much as it does within Kelzio. That’s why both of them are forced into servitude under a master whom neither of them has seen face to face yet.“Good. Then we can move to the strategy.” Philein said, snapping his fingers and creating a large map in the middle of the three.Since they are in a remote and abandoned village, they don’t have any need to be wary of being se
Everything looks like a scene from a nightmare. Monsters continued pouring through the crack of dark mana in the middle of the city. Gargoyles. Goblins. Imps. Kobolds. Ogres. Orcs. Even lesser dragons and hounds. Creating a strong enough tremor on the ground just from their movements that went with haste as they aimed at killing the nearest humans they can find.“HELP ME!”“GET BACKUP!”“MY SON!”“NOOOO!”Screams of humans quickly filled the air and with it is the blood and flesh that’s spilled. Eaten by the monsters that continued ravaging through the city of Raksha. The males being more fortunate as they are given swift deaths while the females are sometimes raped by the goblins. Ganged up on and forced into an act of vile and gut-wrenching intercourse.“Dammit!” Raksha ran down his balcony as quickly as he could.There are various preventive measures set up within the city of course. It’s not like Kraken is defenseless. The only problem is that most of these defenses are made to p
“You must have quite the good eyesight if you saw me through the smoke.” Philein said as he got shot at right away.Raksha released three bullets in rapid succession. With magic circles appearing on Philein’s forehead, heart, and throat. All of which failed to get hit as a barrier stopped the Pirate King’s attack. In return, five of the goblins rushed to attack the king who raised a wall made of water that prevented them from getting closer.Raksha doesn’t plan on talking with Philein. If he can end the fight right away, that would be good for him. He doesn’t care about dialogues and fair play. He’s a pirate of the worst kind – all he cares about are the results. That’s the only thing that matters.“Really? Right off the bat?” Philein asked in a tone of disbelief. Referring to the bullets that missed.Again, the pirate king didn’t make a response. Instead he casted a fire spell that hit the wall of water. Creating hot steam that blew towards Philein and the monsters in the front. Hot
Philein watched as the city burned to the ground. The cries of helpless humans filled the air. Mixed with the dimmer tune of those that are trying to fight their destiny – their death. There are pirates who are fighting back and holding out against the summoned monsters. There are mercenaries and adventurers doing the same thing as well.But all of these serves to do nothing more than delay the inevitable. They will still die. They will still get killed by the waves of monsters that seemingly has no end. They will still go through the pain and suffering of getting killed but, if they’re lucky, they might get killed quicker. With a stab to the heart or their heads getting torn off. Both of which are better options compared to the other forms of death that are ruthless to say the least.Blood fills the streets and it splatters as it paints the walls as well. The scent lingering in the air is that of human flesh that’s rotting and their insides that have been pulled out. The tremors of t
