Chapter 362 - Human From (1/2)
Julia and the others walked into the lord's mansion, as they stepped past the threshold they all felt a rather weird sensation, Julia, Asma and Marie exchanged glances before they all showed rather cold smiles as Asma put a hand on her dagger the two escorts also caught on what was happening and quickly drew their swords, this alerted the royal guard that quickly took some distance from them as she yelled
”What are you doing?”
Julia showed a smile and spoke
”The mansion is covered by an isolation barrier, the ambushing kind”
”A barrier? What are you talking ab---”
”Welcome my guests!”
The royal guards were interrupted by the king that stood on a balcony, his arms were spread wide and there was a slightly twisted smile on his face the royal guard looked up at her king and suddenly shuddered slightly before she drew her sword and yelled
”Who are you!?”
The king gazed down at the royal guard as his face twisted in extreme anger and he shouted
”Who are you to question me!? SOME LOWBORN FILTH THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE!!!”
Jenny looked up at her king in confusion and anger for a moment before something inside her mind suddenly changed as she looked at her king, then she walked over and stood beside the others in silence before she drew her sword and spoke
”That is not the king of the Klaman islands… I've known him since he was born… And that is not him”
The king was furious and yelled
”Guards! EXECUTE THE TRAITORS!”
The royal guards stepped out of the mansion before they drew their swords before they quickly encircled the group and began inching closer tightening the encirclement, Marie commented as she folded out her tail
”They're quite good aren't they?”
Asma smiled before she commented
”Seen better…”
Julia nodded, there was no tension to be found among the group, well except for Jenny that was facing her former comrades and desperately yelled
”Wake up from your delusions that thing is not our king!”
The royal guards remained silent as they inched closer, then Julia abruptly spoke
”[Judgement]!”
The Judgment skill that normally would have turned all the royal guards into a black stone proved absolutely useless, not because the royal guards were free of sin but because
”They are outside divine intervention!”
Ben quickly asked
”That means we just have to beat them up the normal way right?”
Jey showed a slight smile before she also spoke
”Yeah it does, but it also means that scaly has a hand in this, so no need to hold back!”
With that, she was the first to attack, the 3 royal guards in front of her acted at once, and at the same time, they each attacked a different vital spot with frighteningly killing intent, however when Jey's eyes opened briefly they all froze before the image of Jey melted away, it was but an afterimage, she appeared silently behind them, at the same time 3 blows sounded out as the armor the royal guards were wearing shattered in the same spot, on the right side of the neck, Jey sighed before she muttered
”Too shallow…”
At the same time, the others also began attacking, Asma was the only one that stood still as she dexterity controlled her string fang that struck out and defeated the attacks launched by the royal knights while striking back with frightening accuracy, the string fang stuck their necks, wrists, and thighs, each attack that landed would have hit a major artery if not for the very expensive and effective mana armor they wore, to top it off she also used word magic at them
”[Seal], [Force], [Forcewave]!”
”Die, die, die!”
Ben was full berserk, the royal guards that faced him looked like they had been in a blender, their armor was covered in cuts that leaked blood from below the armor, Ben slashed out with his sword with wild abandon as he disappeared and reappeared around the royal guards, up on the balcony the king saw how his royal guards were being slowly worn down and yelled as he stomped the ground
”Useless! All of you are useless!”
Then he began chanting in what appeared to be a long lost language, however before he managed to finish his chant a cut abruptly appeared on his neck, he clutched his neck trying to stop the blood that was spraying out and collapsed to his knees with a frightened expression on his face, then suddenly his expression twisted before a voice sounded out in everyone's head
[AHAHAHAHAHA!!! Just kidding, this human flesh is so limiting! Ah my vessel won't you soon be mine!?]
As that voice sounded out the blood flowing from the king's neck turned black, it turned into smoke once it left his body before it began gathering into the shape of a man with long claws, horns, wings, and a tail, or in other words, a dragon in human shape, then it turned its gaze over at the royal guards before the overlapped children voices sounded out in everyone's head again
[Come here!]
