Chapter 214: Rescue, Attack...
Acantha was still talking to them, when suddenly Hellion and Flamear appeared and their faces had even some dirt and they looked like they’d been caught in a fight.
"What happened?"
I asked concernedly as I looked at Hellion who’s face is serious as well as Flamear.
"We were ambushed by a horde of monsters who just suddenly appeared in the infirmary."
Hellion said as he looked at me as he was panthing a little bit.
"We followed one monster who seems to be a the chieftain of the certain horde of monsters."
Hellion said which made me to stand straight at what he said.
"We found that it went to the east in an old abandoned temple."
He continued as he looked at me.
East...
It’s almost just in the capital.
There are many small villages near there, why didn’t anyone noticed about it?
Now, that I think of it.
It seems like Cataina bought that place before she did the attack in the empire.
And she choose that place as there were some near villages, and monsters and only spared a little monsters to attack that place to trick the knights not to delve in that place.
A place where people never imagined someone to live.
A place where everyone just passby and didn’t even gave any look.
"We need to move those people from the villages near there."
I said as I clenched my right hand into a fist.
They didn’t just wanted to tricked them, they also wanted to use those people as a food for the monster, it is just that Cataian seems not to know that I am already back, but because of the incident now.
She or maybe it was Jessie who let those horde of monsters to attack the infirmary to gather some information whether I am already here or not, and Flamear and Hellion was a proof that I am already here and the sun.
They might probably confirmed it by now since they weren’t as fool as I think they were.
"W-what happened?"
I looked at the emperor who just entered the room as he excused himself awhile ago to go to the loo.
"The situation got worsen."
I simply replied and I saw him stunned at what I said.
We only had three days and now, and things got worsen with only one day.
Why didn’t we think of it before?
I asked them to look for them inside the capital and to the other faraway places, but they were just lurking outside waiting for the right moment to attack.
"Ernie, and Jarnus get those mana stones that was hidden in the magic forest and tell them the situations right now."
I said as I looked at them. They also needed to prepare on what was going to happen.
"Lord Nuchi, where are now your people?"
I asked and I looked at him and he looked pale.
Lord Nuchi’s territory was not so far from that place, but no so near.
And the reason they didn’t knew that they were there is because Cataina hide it so well, she was even smarter than Noraya who was also Jessie that time who was recklessly using her power and not planning a lot.
And since she fully gained her consciousness now as her and with Cataina as her ally. And besides she wasn’t still there when Cataina did those sorts of things.
"Hellion, you and father will go to the villages near there, but you needed to be secretive to avoid getting caught."
I said as I looked at Hellion and father who was standing in front of me and was wating for my order and when I did they both nodded and went out from the door.
I was about to speak when I noticed Lord Nuchi who was on the other side and was still pale and still didn’t answer my question awhile ago.
"Are you okay Lord Nuchi?"
I asked and it seems like he was back to his senses and that’s when I notice he was holding a magic ball.
"T-the people were ambushed."
He said which made me straightened my back.
"Why didn’t you tell immediately?"
I asked as I looked at him and my voice was high that makes him looked stiffened.
"I was talking to the commander of the knight in my territory, when they were suddenly got ambuhed now."
He said as he put his face on his hands and cry in fear, fear for the people lives and -
"My family were also there, I didn’t know that the monster would attack them." He said as he looked like a mess.
"They were about to leave the border of the territory, but suddenly one person went to another direction, and in that directions was the place you said an-"
He said as he was explaining, but I don’t have anytime so, I teleported us there without getting prepared as people lives are more important.
And the more we stay and talk much longer the more the losses were going up.
BOGGGGGSSSSHHHHH
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhhh
When we arrived the place that was shown on his magic crystall ball we heard aloud explosion and the people were flocking and was running, while the knights were overpowered by a horde of deadly monstrosties.
"Here!"
Lord Nuchi shouted as he was guiding his people to where we are as I was setting up a barrier only enough to protect them when I am going to fight the monsters.
I looked at the monster and saw that they were different from before.
It seems like they were the new monsters.
A new monsters who weren’t scared of sun.
And I know who was behind this mutation.
It must be those Tenebrisayan.
They put some spell to enhance the monsters, this is what they had been trying to do for so long that they kept on experimenting the monsters.
"Run here!"
"Faster!"
I heard lord Nuchi shout as he was helping other people inside and it seems he already found his family.
"You take a lead here, and I will lead you knights."
I said as I finished making some barriers for people.
I shoot one monster in its heart, but it didn’t die.
And so, I shoot it’s head, but-
It regenerate.
"What is this?"
I asked my self as the monster regenerate it’s own head.
I pulled my sword and went straight to its head and burned it which killed it.
And it seems like some knights were looking at me and they followed what I did.
We keep on fighting against the monsters.
As I was fighting one of the biggest monster, I felt something that was coming on my way and there.
I saw that black magic again.
It was the same as when someone attacked me at palace garden back then.
I turn around after I killed the monster and before he could even launch at me I met his attack that causes to fly back at him and made him flew to somewhere.
I followed the direction where he was and there I saw him getting up, while he cough some blood on his mouth.
"You banshee! You Luminasiarian people should die!"
He said as he launches to attack me, but I met him with my hands and choked him.
"Ugghhh."
He groaned as I was gripping him on his neck.
"Uggghh... I-I am g-going t-to- kill-you all."
He said as he was struggling to say a word and I didn’t bat an eye and snap his neck.
That’s when the horde of monsters gone.
I looked at where Lord Nuchi and he was inside the barrier as he was trying to talk to people and was asking them.
I looked at the knights and saw that some of them has so many serious injuries.
I covered them all with light to cure them, but somes were still lying and it seems like they were already dead long before I arrived.
I sighed in sadness and pay tributes to them.
"Are they alright?"
I asked Lord Nuchi as I was trying to breathe.
"They had some injuries awhile ago."
He said as he looked a little surprised at what I did.
Lord Nuchi rarely visits the palace as his place were only small, he think that he wasn’t much needed in every event in the capital only when there was something major.
He looked on my back and his eyes went sad when he saw those people who died.
"We need to bring them to the Klartis."
I said as and he nodded and called his knights and I uses my power to teleport us which made me feel tired as my body was still healing from numbness from sleeping for a long time.
When we arrived at the Klartis, Lord Nuchi went to settle the people first and didn’t go back to the mansion.
"Is everything alright?"
The emperor asked when I arrived and I saw that they all looked tense as they were waiting for me.
I looked oustide again and sighed, when I saw that sun was going down again.
It’s almost night again.
I didn’t even notice the time when I was fighthing some monsters awhile ago.
And Jessie might detect my presence using Abanoon’s power.
I looked outside and decided not to wait for Hellion and father to get out since, I already fought some monsters it only means one thing right now.
And this was the only beginning.
"Change of plan."
I said I looked at them.
