189 Rulers Vision (2/2)

\”You used human sacrifice here while they used blood of infant beasts there. The ritual will create a two-way portal from their location to here, allowing them to send as many of their soldiers to terrorize and cause destruction inside the kingdom.\”

\”Let me guess.\” Raven gripped the handle of his hammer tighter and spoke in a harsh tone.

\”They will destroy as many as they could while you sit here and wait. Once the destruction is in full swing, you will step in and save the day, making the Royal Family indebted to you once again. Like this, you can keep eroding the forces of the Royal Family and people's trust towards them, while you reap the benefits and wait until the perfect time to uproot the Royal Family.\”

\”Then because of your leadership, you'll become the next monarch and all of the wealth of the Kingdom will be yours, of course you'll rule alongside the Black Curtain Guild. Got to admit, this plan is really effective since this wasn't the first time that you did this correct? How else are you people allowed to stay inside the kingdom despite the Royal Family hating you?

\”Is my line of thought correct? Yael Mort?\”

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

Explosions were heard in every direction. The crowd watched as several people rose into the air with faces contorting in anger. People watched as they turned into flashes of light which all converged into the place where the screen of light emerged earlier.

\”KILL THIS BRAT FOR ME! KILL HIM! I DON'T CARE HOW YOU DO IT! KILL! KILL HIM!\”

The roars of Yael reverberated throughout the kingdom. At this point, there was no need for any confirmation. The way he reacted was enough for people to know that Raven's narration was correct.

Disgust, loathing, anger, etc. All sorts of negative emotions were roused and pointed against the Mort Family. They never knew that this kind of sinister person was living amongst them. Many hearts bled as they see the fates of the sacrificed, some even wailed since they recognized some faces. Many people converged towards the Mort Family Estate and most of them were cultivators who couldn't tolerate the existence of the Mort Family any longer.

Nevertheless, many people also worried about the safety of the young hero who confronted Yael and his forces. He was alone, it didn't matter how capable he was, everyone knew that he needed help. It goes specially well with people who recognized who he was. Everyone who knew Raven didn't hesitate to go over the Mort Family Estate in order to aid them.

Along the way, there's nothing they could do other that to watch how Raven faced multitudes of enemies alone, never backing down and showing no mercy.

In the end, their worst fears arrived. Everyone witnessed as the ritual was finished and the portal was created. Everyone's heart clenched involuntarily, they saw how the Black Curtain Guild's forces came out of the portal, covered with evil auras. They were forced to watch as their numbers grow from mere hundreds to nearing a thousand strong people. Without a doubt, this was the biggest invasion that had ever occurred in the Kingdom.

No one blamed Raven for not being able to do anything, he was alone after all. Experts of the kingdom knew that he was doing his best to buy some time before reinforcements arrived. Some people should've arrived earlier but the Mort Family Estate sudden entered a full defense mode and blocked all invaders out, which means that while Raven silently endured and faced Yael's forces, the reinforcements were trying their best to get rid of the blockade in order to aid him.

Raven of course wasn't aware of that since he was focused on his battle. Nevertheless, with more and more people coming to aid him, the defenses of the Mort Family Estate eventually crumbled and with that, the forces of Knights who came in order to aid Raven, descended like a tide.

The first one's to arrive were Raven's friends along with Bradley since they were the closest, next was Luis along with the Hawk Force, then Old Lee, Crown Prince Balmung and the Elite Forces of the Royal Army as well as many more people.

They saw how the Fifth Emissary roused the souls of the dead in order to deal with Raven. They also watched how Raven repelled it by using the Life Conversion Technique once more in order to perform a holy technique that redeemed to souls of the dead.

And when Raven was heavily injured by the Fourth Emissary's attack. Luis couldn't hold it anymore and erupted into wrathful roar.

\”YOU EVIL SPAWN! YOU DARE TO HARM MY SON! THIS OLD MAN WILL END YOU!\”
