Chapter 172 - 167: Oracle! (1/2)
One hour later!
Xena's mansion, Western warlords palace.
In a wide spacious hall two woman were sipping their tea and were discussing about specific topic which brought shock to the ones gathered around.
These two were naturally Xena and Cela, who had returned to the mansion after completing their work at Aaron mansion.
And the ones gathered around them were the members of church who survived the attack of cursed ones and also the trusted officers of black wigg army who were ordered to guard Xena in her mansion.
” So you're saying that the current predicament we are facing is just the prequel to the great apocalypse mentioned in your great oracle by Merclaive? ”
With regards to her question, Cela gave a nod which caused the others to panic with terror.
Since birth, they heard many oracles from church which ultimately come out to be true.
Now that Cela had mentioned about the great oracle they couldn't help but interpret one word ” Apocalypse! ”
” What makes you so sure that the apocalypse is going to descend? ”
Xena couldn't help but question Cela, cause she was involved in it.
If the army at the outside were the ones which were responsible for the great apocalypse, then why should they be concerned with abducting her, by threatening with their large numbers?
” Princess, if my memory says right, you seemed to have mentioned about Mark fighting some unknown monsters that could regenerate! ”
Noticing the traces of tension in church people, Xena replied with ”yes” which caused the church members to become more sure that the said great apocalypse was about to descend soon.
” Princess were they unkillable? Did they regrow severed arms, caused massive destruction with their sheer might and on top of it... were they in group? ”
Facing the barrage of questions inquired by Cela, Xena seemed to recall the scene where Mark was pursued up by twenty huge humanoid monsters who caused a trail of destruction as if the earth was going to be destroyed tomorrow.
If not for Mark who acted a bait for those monsters to ignore them, Xena could very well imagine her fate which still brought chills down to her spine.
Xena scanned her surroundings who were eagerly awaiting her response, she took a deep breath in and exclaimed.
” Like you said, they had terrifying might within, and capable of restoring severed limbs instantly, but were not terrifying enough to be unkillable! ”
If they were really unkillable, how could my Mark survive after being pursued by twenty of them?
Finding that Mark had returned back safe, Xena could easily interpret that he had to slay those half mutants for it.
Still the pain of watching Mark getting annihilated in soul space was suffocating to her!
A man with no prior relation had saved her from abyss demon!
A man with no prior relation had rescued her from Gazil!
A man with no prior relation had decided to act as bait for half mutants, just so that sue could escape!
Finally, that same man with no prior relation had decided to face the beastmen army for her and got eliminated right in front of her sight!
He was a man with pure heart, who had no obligations nor underlying schemes to help her, such was the one who got eliminated by contacting her bad luck!
If xena wasn't depressed, then she must be lying to herself!
After all a man precious to her got killed right?
At least it was what she believed it to be!
Wait! It's him!!
” He's dangerous! We should move princess to safety! ”
The officers started panicking as they could clearly see the difference in power, and could state that this hooded person appeared in the hall was unfathomable.
Before the officers could actually charge in to intercept this unknown person, a familiar figure passed by them in a flash, which made them anxious to death.
” Princess! Why's she rushing towards him? ”
” Puppet magic, this person must a puppet master who's controlling our princess movements! ”
Looking at their princess who was dashing towards this unknown person, the officers of imperial army charged hastily, In an attempt to intercept this unknown and save their princess.
But contrary to their expectations, a dumbfounding scene was presented to them which made their eyes wide open with disbelief.
Even the unknown person that entered their sight was startled and fell down to floor by this unexpected development.
Princess hopped straight into the arms of this person and made a dumbfounding kiss in open, which caused the officers to doubt their vision as their princess learnt being intimate with that one whom they have never met nor heard of before.
The hood of this person was brought back, and a clear face of an familiar person had made Cela stand up being startled.
” Ma...Ma...Mark! So... even I was kept in dark! ”
Cela who had found this hard to believe scene misunderstood these two and found it more reasonable about Mark who had risked his life to protect the princess from the clutches of half mutants.
” No wonder, he braved to enter the enemies territory alone and rescue princess at the cost of being near killed by twenty half mutants!Unforgivable, he should atleast have stated their relationship earlier! ”
Cela clenched her fist and an intense intent to fight could clearly be seen by Rule, which made him curious.
Even the officers who earlier had panicked had a bright smile hung over there face and they started to become more approval of Mark to have relation with their princess.
” So he's Mark? From house Milton! And our princess... hehe, no wonder she had turned into a new leaf! A woman in love, sure is unpredictable! ”
