Chapter 98 - 91: Slave (1/2)
Hikaru decided to leave again because he'll just get in the way of their familial bonding. Azumi needs their attention the most because then, she'll be able to love them as a family. Hikaru would only get in the way, so, for the meantime, he'll have his fun on that planet.
But as soon as he stepped foot inside the town of Unity, a bunch of adventurers suddenly attacked him. He killed them all, of course, but he managed to hear that Hiroshi killed the people ruling this town. No, he did not just kill them, he absolutely slaughtered their entire family.
But Hikaur knew that Hiroshi wasn't that kind of a person, something must've happened there. He was about to calmly solve this situation, when he learned that the King of Humans issued a bounty on his head!
He just lost it and went towards the imperial capital of the human kingdom faster than the speed of light. In less than a second he was there, standing in front of the door of the Imperial Throne Room.
The guards tried stopping him, but he just beheaded all of them.
Now, we come to this scene.
Keiko just stood there, unable to move. She tried to move a finger but found that she couldn't. She was trembling in fear by the very presence of that boy. She's supposed to be the strongest, second only to the King, yet this boy gives her this much pressure that she's trembling? Impossible!
This must be some kind of trick! She's the strongest out of all the summoned heroes, but why? Why can't she move a single limb against that boy!?
”So, this must mean that the Kingdom of Deagaia is going against me with this kind of pathetic strength? How pitiful.” Hikaru coldly said as he looked down on the nobles and the King.
One noble got angry at his comment and yelled, ”Huh!? What do you mea-
He was cut off when his head suddenly disappeared.
All of the nobles backed away as they saw the nobleman's headless body wobbling and falling to the ground. Blood spurted out of the headless neck of the dead nobleman and almost all of the nobles screamed in fright.
That noble that Hikaru just killed was one of the highest ranking generals in the Kingdom, mind you, but he just beheaded him without doing anything!
”Who told you to talk?” Hikaru said, not even bathing an eye on the corpse of the man he just killed.
And then he manifested his killing intent like bloody tendrils and tied all of the nobles present in the room to the ground. All of their four limbs were suddenly tied by those bloody tendrils.
While the King is a strong man, Hikaru is even a stronger man. The King sweated a lot, and he couldn't even move like the rest of the Heroes. He couldn't reach out for his sword, and only a little bit of despair filled him.
Slowly, Hikaru walked towards the King ominously. The closer he got, the more the others felt like they were facing a death god.
And, soon enough, Hikaru was in front of the King. Hikaru looked down on the sitting King before grabbing him by the throat.
He got his face closer to him and said ominously and coldly, ”From now on, King of Humans, I own everything you have. Your power, your family, your servants, your subjects, and your entire Kingdom. This is my punishment for you. And from now on, you are my slave and I am your master.”
With that, he sealed all of the King's power. His mana was sealed away, and he'll never be able to use it unless Hikaru allows him to.
”You are now nothing but a normal man, slightly stronger than the average person, but still a normal man. You can never use your power unless I allow you to, remember that, Slave.” Hikaru whispered coldly in his ear before dropping him to the ground, The King was breathing heavily and feeling out of strength.
Without his mana, all of the previous injuries he got from the battle back then is starting to act up. He may be able to bear it for a few days but he will surely fall by then.
Hikaru stepped on the former king's head and sat on the throne while still stepping on his head. He rested his head on his hand and crossed his legs while arrogantly looking down on the nobles.
