Chapter 347: History Of The Royal Family (1/2)

The Hazelgroove Royal family was started with the rise of the first emperor , who was a tier 5 swordsman , able to bend the continent to his will. Submitting kingdom after kingdom to finally unify the nothern continent under his banner to be crowned as the one true emperor.

Following his death , one after the other , the heirs who succeeded him , were not upto the task of holding onto such a massive empire that he left behind. As such over the next 300 years , the size of the empire kept shrinking as more and more kings rose to rebellion.

Finally before 250 years , the current Hazelgroove kingdom was formed , however the one who sat on the throne of Hazelgroove kingdom still kept the ancestral title of the Emperor! Instead of a king , even if they did not have a empire under their control anymore.

It was the burning desire of each and every descendant , who took up the throne , to restore the glory of the past and expand the kingdom back to becoming an empire. But the times had changed and soo had methods of warfare.

However one thing which remained throughout the years , was the opposition of the Hazelgroove Royal family to the Fallen Angel Lucifer.

During the reign of the first emperor , Mazikeen Lucifer's fierce general wanted to establish the nothern continent as a place that worshipped Lucifer. Wanting to spread the church of darkness and propagate the one who ruled hell's ideology.

But the problem was , that the first Emperor was a man who was of the light faction , and took pride in his practice of the white arts. For him to bow to Lucifer was unacceptable. Soo naturally he rejected the offer and made the church of light as the relegion of his continent.

This is the reason why majority of the nothern continent still is under light faction kings and also the reason behind Hazelgroove Empire's fall!

Mazikeen launched a great war against the then emperor , called the First Crusade , as the light faction forces of the Church and the state forces , took a combined stance against the invading forces led by Mazikeen.

Mazikeen manifested Lucifer's power in that battle and for a moment used a terrifying tier 6 spell in the valley of blood. The place which is now called the Ghost kingdom. That decimated the light faction army.

However divine power was not something that her mortal body could hope to support , hence the ramifications of using the spell were heavy for Mazikeen who lost majority of her powers following that incident.

Eventually the light faction forces did win , capturing a weakened Mazikeen , as she was imprisoned in the now outskirts of Purplehaze city!

In a massive underground bunker , kept hidden from the world , a location only those who took the throne in Hazelgroove kingdom knew about , she kept enslaved for 700 years!

Generation after generation , she was guarded against , purple mist being released from her body , as she suffered from the recoil for using divine power.

However healing for centuries , she finally attempted to break free when Cervantez was a young man who took the throne.
