That night Cassio was temporarily assigned to a room in the castle. It belonged to Prince Ken's bodyguards and had previously been inhabited by Matthew and Thorne. But now it was empty because Matthew was still undergoing treatment (his condition had being too grave) while Thorne was dead and gone.Cassio let out a deep sigh as he stared at the large bedroom with two medium size beds and a cubicle which served as the bathroom. There was a large wardrobe standing at a corner of the room and a wooden desk and chair facing the window just like in Ken's room. But unlike Ken's, the desk and chair were covered in dust, evident that they had not been used for a long time.Not everyone pursues knowledge, he muttered to himself as he walked to the bed nearest to the window and sat down, his palms covering his face. I've made it to the castle but it's still uncertain if I can succeed in becoming a knight.Cassio stood up and walked towards the desk. Apart from a mirror, feather and ink on top,
The church was a large building with white bricks, a large cross on top of its roof. There were several rows of windows made of glass, all of them reflecting the sunlight. On closer inspection, there was a sculpture of the moon engraved into the center of the cross. The environment was very serene, making one feel as if one had stepped into another world devoid of problems. Outside the cathedral were several sculptures belonging to legendary figures of Camelot. They represented past kings and knights who had made sacrifices, making Camelot what it was today.The driver of the carriage pulled the reins, causing the two white stallions to halt slowly beside another carriage with Camelot's emblem. There were other several carriages, all of them well packed some meters away from the cathedral. There were chatters as people walked into the church—both rich and poor, noble and common, knight and civilian—they were all given free will to enter the church.This doesn't look like a church whic
When the carriage arrived at the castle, Ken couldn't help but chuckle, "You're going to learn what it takes to become a bodyguard.""You're making it sound horrifying," Cassio said half-heartedly as he looked outside he carriage, admiring his surrounding. The castle had a very large environment with several orchards, gardens and lawns which cast a natural beauty on the surrounding. The air was also fresh like spring, the atmosphere quite and refreshing.I wonder why you'd still want to leave the castle? as Cassio exited the carriage he couldn't help but shake his head. He then walked into the castle building, going past the grim looking guards who heard long spears. He kept wondering if those guards were just ordinary or they were true knights.Cassio navigated his way through the hallway to the bodyguard room which had become his since Matthew had become crippled for life, his chance of advancing from a Bodyguard shattered. He couldn't help but sigh, wondering why people were so unl
Ugh...Cassio finally opened his eyes, becoming conscious. He blinked his eyes a few times in order to adjust to the intensity of sunlight. Closing them he turned around and stood up before finally opening them."You're awake finally," Ken said. He was performing a sword art, his right hand moving with fierceness to create powerful sword strokes which caused ripples in the air. He stopped and sheathed his sword, his lips curling into a warm smile."I guess..." Cassio said awkwardly. He had never fainted out of fear before in his entire life and this was very embarrassing considering how he had boasted that he would become Ken's bodyguard. It was too embarrassing."Well, you may choose not to go through that part of the training and focus on exercises that will strengthen your body and make you faster," Ken said. "I was already a Bodyguard before I could complete the training here.""Those mechanical soldiers, who creates them?" Cassio asked, becoming very intrigued by the mechanism beh
Damn...that was Cassio's only thought as Ken came flying towards him with clenched fists. Knowing that he couldn't possibly fight Ken, he quickly turned around and ran. Several spikes were immediately shot out of the ground towards him, their metal surfaces reflecting the sunlight.Slash! Slash! Slash!Three spikes immediately got him despite him trying his very best to dodge them all. One slashed below his right eye, another slashed his left arm while another stabbed his right chest. He gnashed his teeth and continued running, relying on his reflexes to become nimble.Bang!Ken was already upon him, punching his back. The impact sent Cassio off the ground into the air, five spikes stabbing into his body. He crashed to the ground and rolled several meters out of the spiky region, spitting blood as he immediately rolled voluntarily to evade Ken's kick which would have gotten his head."You can't become my bodyguard by being weak!" Ken yelled with anger evident in his voice. "In order t
Cassio lay in bed, his teeth gnashing in disappointment as he clenched his fists tightly. Why can't I create my Will Body?! Why am I so useless?! Despite all the rigorous training I can't do anything?!He tried standing up but his entire body hurt very badly, he couldn't perform such an action. He could only lie back helplessly and let out a deep sigh. I need to be stronger so that I can avenge the people I truly loved and was indebted to. Being weak won't make me get back at the barbaric Chaldeans and corrupted Hall of Corruption! He didn't include the Cthulhu Cult in his plans for revenge currently because they had not killed anyone dear to him. Although he might hunt them down in the future when he got the strength, the drive to kill them wasn't as strong as the drive to vanquish the Chaldeans and Hall of Corruption.Soon there was a soft knock on the door, a soft voice asking, "Can I come in?""Yes," Cassio said with a low voice. He couldn't raise his voice because he was very wea
That night Cassio stood at the window looking outside, his mind filled with thoughts. I thought I was the one who felt more pain losing Patrick and Joana in a day. I didn't know there was her sister who would find the whole news devastating. I don't know how deep the pain she's feeling now but it must be definitely greater than all the pain I've felt, including the pain of losing my memory.He stared at Medusa who was sleeping soundly in his bed, tucked under the bedsheet. Her eyes were shut tightly, her lips pursed and her face bearing a sad expression. Seeing her in this condition he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.This is the last person in the Patrick family, he thought within himself. As Joana's sister my obligation is to protect her and make her happy at all costs. It doesn't matter if I die trying. I won't be that loser who was saved by Joana at the expense of her life. Thinking about this make tears freely flow down his cheeks. He didn't try to suppress the tears and le
Boom! Boom! Boom!More explosions occured in the castle, flames of fire rising high into the air. The fake knights all fought off the zombies which were bursting out of the ground every minute, gradually overwhelming them. Outside the castle walls were unknown true knights trying to breech into the castle, using their powers to the fullest. But there were also true knights of Camelot standing on the walls engaged with a fierce battle with them in order to prevent the Intruders from besieging the castle.Standing several meters away from the onslaught was a man dressed in a black robe with hood, his right hand clutched around a very dark figurine. This figurine had an octopus head with countless tentacles and a humanoid body. These tentacles were embedded with countless eyeballs which seemed very lifelike, possessing nightmarish vitalities."We will get the Cthulhu Mythos and unleash nightmare in the Cosmos!" the man said. "We will awaken Cthulhu!"After saying this an extremely malevo
