I am in a cell, I wonder why. But more importantly…

“Y-you…despicable…hero.”Thanks to the fire explosion that occurred right when we were about to clash, I was able to win. The fire explosion offset his attack and allowed me to land my strike perfectly while his…“Half of the castle…damn.”A whole side of the castle as well as the mountain behind it are destroyed. Most of the debirs are encased in ice as well. Though I can’t see all of it since it is nighttime.“You…betrayers…”Warren is heavily wounded. His demonized side is bleeding all over while his stomach is open. His face has completely turned back to that of a human.“I should hurry up.”I don’t know about me, but I am sure the other people fighting are still having a hard time. I wouldn’t want to find myself alone against all the flooding monsters once the knights and soldiers are submerged.I go to the commander
The smell is pretty awful here, after all.” David immediately starts off with his usual verbal bullying. He must have missed it since we came here. Has been a month? I think it has been about a month now.“I guess you just came to talk.”“Talk?” He gives a gold coin to the soldier who takes it with a smile and leaves. Then he brings out a whip from a bag he had concealed under his clothes. “You are a maggot, a parasite that keeps crawling back when it is supposed to quietly disappear. What can I talk with such inferior being?”Saying so, he uses the whip a first time but it hits the bars of the cell instead.“You should open the cell first if you want to do this.”“Shut up!! Stop trying to act like you aren’t scared. I know that you are!! You always were!!”He uses it again and it hits the bars another time. This guy must have bottled up a lot of pressure. I didn’t
“Ohh…Then you both will face the judgment of the one truly God.”He then turns and leaves with the head priest. Three knights come and push through the torn bars of my cell using their aura.That’s one needlessly demonstration of strength. After that, they pin me down and chain me. They raise me and one of them carries me like a bag, placing me on his shoulder. While he passes through, I see Warren receiving the same treatment.We are both carried through corridors and hallway, then into the sun. The knights step into a courtyard and while they are walking with us, I see soldiers and people who are looking at me with disgust. All the people here are wearing fancy clothes though. I wonder where we are.“Warren, do you know this place?” I ask him since the knight carrying him is right behind me. I could say it is weird since it’s like I am talking to his butt.“It is most likely the capital of the prin
A bit more than an hour later, we are still at the court. A lot of people have been speaking now. Telestal and Emilia included. But to my surprise, David hasn’t said anything yet. Even Ian spoke in my favor, together with other heroes and even people I don’t know. But as you would guess, all their testimonies have been somehow considered invalid. If I was you guys, I would leave it be and let this thing finish. Those guys just need to put what happened on someone, that’s all. Which reminds me, where is the king?“Hero David…. You may speak.” Ah, finally, you have raised your hand as well. Let’s hear you use one of your best qualities: your speech.“Dear people of Bazel. My name-”“His testimony cannot count; this guy was bullying him for years!” Dammit. Sarah intervenes and stops him in his track. A huge vein pops on his forehead and he almost jumps on her. But Emilia being close seems to prevent
His shining eyes are constantly changing colors, creating a phantastic mix that I can’t help but look at while being amazed. At the same time, he is oozing with the same energy as the head priest.I don’t know why but it feels like the time has stopped. I can barely move my body. I can’t even move my head to check if other people are seeing what I am seeing as well.What was I trying to prove? Who push me into such an absurb situation? Yes, it is that bastard!! All of this is because of him!!! If only he was never here!!“Sacrifice. My master has asked me to come and personally deliver you his message.”The dragon speaks and his voice is so powerful I am almost forced to go on my knees. But somehow, at the last moment, my body resists without my consent. Why can’t I just go down? What is the point of resisting something against which I can’t win? What will it bring to me?! Just go down, fucking body of mine!!
I excecute the second stance then the third but when I am about to use the fourth one, a voice comes to my ears.The voice of the woman who was using the dance of the wind earlier.“Your left foot is misplaced. Correct it by five degrees.” She is whispering, though.I look back at her and the flames extinguish. Shit. She is still kneeling with her hand crossed like the others. Aren’t they tired?“You have seven minutes left, sacrifice.” And this guy won’t leave me alone at all.I restart everything from the beginning and when I reach the fourth stance, she almost says the same thing but I correct it before. I continue with the fifth and sixth, at the seventh, she intervenes once again.“Right hand, to the left a bit more.” And I am forced to stop and restart again.This woman, whoever she is, is more precise than him. It’s surprising but I guess it is normal since she is from this
I don’t know if it is because we asked our question at the same time, but I felt like time stopped for a moment. The woman then walks to the thrones and sits at the end at the far left.“I have asked you a question.” Don’t ignore me like that.She crosses her legs as elegantly as she can and takes an intimidating posture but with her look, she looks pitiful at best.“Should you not present yourself first if you wish for answers?” The way she speaks is…solemn. I feel like I am compelled to answer without thinking too much.“I am Will Otun.”“Will Otun? A coward then.”“What?!” Who are you to call me a coward?!! “I am no co-”“Are you a wandering soul? Or did he send you to check on us? You smell like him after all.” A wandering soul?“Isn’t this the after life? I thought I was dead.” Could it be that this isn&
When I come to again, I am back at the castle. The dragon is standing before me and nothing seems to have changed. I look around and most people are still in the same state.“You have given away half of your life for the sake of succeeding. I shall at least acknowledge your resolve.” The dragon speaks to me but now, his voice feels less threatening, it is less powerful to my ears.“Just wait a little more, okay, Viltrax?” When he hears that name, the dragon’s eyes shine even more. His wings flaps a little and he shows a huge smile, even revealing his teeth now.“I see. So it might start, huh. I shall go and tell my master, that your judgment was pass down.”Viltraxx flies up and goes back inside the hole. Then, the sky returns back to normal and everything with it. The weird air around that was filling the place disappears as well.At the same time, a window pops up before me.[You have been
