Chapter 218 - L.u.s.t

Seeing that the wordplay is put behind for good, Mogranius decided to cut into the real case. The true reason why he along with Eric is here. He saw it better if he could have talked to the King alone instead of 5 more people lending an ear, but this will have to do. "Our Revolution can wait!" Shifting his facial expressions from a yapping jester to a serious madman real quick, with his voice sinking deep he dared to specify. "I'm here for the Demonite!"

"Demonite? What the hell are you talking about?" Shouted King Tamzar, with rage overwhelming his common sense. Odd for a Snow Ignite who has nothing to do with an Inner Demon of Rage. But actually he is more mad about the fact that the topic is greatly shifted. 

Thinking that King Tamzar is just playing dumb, Mogranius kept his tone calm instead of yelling from the top of his lungs like a howling hound, even smiling. "You stole the Demonite from Kastaria!" Giving a big smirk after, confident that he got the King cornered in this conversation, he added. "We all know why."

Now, unwilling to cooperate he compressed his rage and slowly spoke. "If you've come here to waste my time." Afterwards gestured at 5 the Guards in the scene to spring into action, he continued to express. "Then you are no longer welcome here."

Feeling that the situation will get heated (Not in the good way either.) Mogranius drained all the smoke he could while walking through the Kingdom, going through the Blacksmith's forge helped a lot but it wasn't preferable, somehow its harder to control and requires a lot of concentration unlike smoke that comes from a woodfire.

The Torches on the walls here also provided just a little Smoke, but it was enough to get him every bit of smoke he required to fulfill his plan of escape in case of a situation like this. Imagine how hard it is to drag smoke while walking or having a conversation, it was tremendously difficult.

In a blink of an eye his entire body was replaced by smoke, representing that he linked with it successfully! With no aims to disappear, yet. The smoke he connected too started multiplying due to his command, fast enough to provide an escape without breaking a Fight. Enemy or ally, they can't start shooting down Fire Controllers, they are too rare.

The Smoke covered the entire throne room with a pitch dark colour, causing everyone to cough from the bottom of their lungs but for Eric this provided a lot more time to escape. Hearing Mogranius whisper in his ear, "Connect."

Now the plan is almost clear, they are not going to fight but use invisibility to escape instead. Using the breathing exercises Mogranius taught Eric a bunch of times both in Lan Zhe and Gaster Kingdom, Eric managed to successfully link. Mogranius even felt his Smoke being drained and had the decency to whisper. "Careful, we ain't dating."

Once Mogranius assured that Eric has successfully connected with the Smoke he himself provided, he made all of the Smoke in the Throne Room disappear in the blink of an eye and granted everyone the capability of breathing without an additional cough.

"Follow them!" Yelled King Tamzar at the five Guards, but was looking at the Fire Controllers mostly with blood boiling anger as if this is their fault primarily! Technically speaking, it kind of is! These ladies led them all the way to the Castle and now the two Ignites who are considered enemies of King Tamzar (And the rest of the Kingdom according to how things normally go.), are roaming free in the Kingdom without anyone even noticing them! But it is also worthy to be taken into consideration that Eric and Mogranius wouldn't be considered enemies to begin with if King Tamzar didn't thrive in Egoism. All of them carry a little blame, even Mogranius.

Without saying a word, the Ignite ladies dashed through the Castle Door trying to find and kill the two men who embarrassed them in front of the Leader of this impactful revolution. Although embarrassment didn't cover those Ignite ladies, this situation still did them dirty from both parties. Looking at the two other Frost Blaster men who have been standing by his side until now, chasing after the enemies too. King Tamzar yelled, "You two stay here!"

Confused enough of the King's decision, they stopped on their spot and awaited for further explanation until the King broke the silence. "They brought them up here, they will kill them."

The two Guards returned and stood near the Throne, they didn't say a word but both understood where this will lead eventually. The enemies will escape and King Tamzar will give these Ignite ladies a very rough time even though they don't carry much fault with this minor issue! If he had the decency to yell at those ladies even though they are contributing to this Kingdom, to his revolution. What would stop King Tamzar from doing anything worse, anything more twisted?

Without a rush, Eric and Mogranius just casually walked all the way down to the main entrance once exchanging some whispers. Without experiencing any problem, they even climbed over the walls and jumped since the Gates were shut. The "wind" carefully opening and closing the Gates wouldn't exactly be too believable! To aid their escape. No one, even a Grandmaster in Fire Controlling can spot another once he or she went invisible. At least, no one discovered how to do that yet. 

Now that they have been given the chance to take a better look at the Kingdom and its surroundings, Mogranius understood why this Kingdom is still remaining strong against the entire ill.u.s.tratian Alliance, as for how they fought off thousands of ill.u.s.tratian Soldiers without losing a single Guard, Mogranius is sure that it is linked to Demonite. How else would they do it!?

The Kingdom remained strong because in order to access it, one has to go through this amazingly carved road between the two large Boulders. Approaching the Kingdom from the left side is nearly impossible for a person without powers (And quite difficult for those with powers too due to the strong winds.) since one would have to climb through a Vertical mountain wall.

As for approaching from behind or from the right, it is also quite impossible unless the ill.u.s.tratios figure out how to jump from 90 to 250+ meters without causing a horrific scene once meeting with the ground. The Kingdom is based on a natural formation of flatness accompanied by years to centuries of carving in order for a Kingdom to fit! The only way in is through these boulders and King Tamzar seems to have buffed up the defences with not one but two races, plus with the theorized help of Demonite this Kingdom is indomitable. From the outside at least! However they are using Demonite, is still a strong mystery.

The three Ignite ladies however, are at the verge of a nervous breakdown. They've split in three ways and are trying to scope every inch of the Kingdom hoping to at least hear if not bump into these two newly declared enemies! Bittore Nardone was feeling the most guilt, not because she thinks that King Tamzar is completely right. But because he will punish the entire squad of Fire Controllers standing Guard in the Carved path. This entire team of Fire Controllers contains ladies, and Snow Ignites who have powers are accompanied by an Inner Demon of L.u.s.t. You can put figure out the puzzle on why this will end badly.

Seeing that there is no enemy in sight, without becoming visible again Eric spoke with a low tone. "So much for trying to negotiate a deal!" And proceeded to ask since he himself is very uncertain. "What do we do now? We can't go back home empty handed." Quite nice that he considers Gaster Kingdom his home, if King Michael was here he would be proud.

Clear to hear that he already has thought off a plan, with swiftness Mogranius explained. "We need to sneak back in there and spy on King Tamzar until we manage to squeeze out any valuable information. They can't possibly see us if we are invisible, even a Snow Ignite isn't that advanced." This sounds like an amazing plan indeed but can be difficult in many other aspects. Prime example, what if someone bumps into Eric or Mogranius? It isn't exactly impossible.

Considering the dangers, Eric still likes the idea. For him, anything is better than going back home without accomplishing the task, they didn't even finish a portion of the task. All they managed to do is see King Tamzar and get attacked after. He was about to speak for such a topic until he took a peek at the two large boulders about 30 meters away from where they are standing. "That has to wait for now!"
