Chapter 303 - I'm coming Brother!

They've stared at Chan and his group in confusion, puzzled to the extreme. "If the explosion wasn't caused by the powers being passed down then what caused this?" Eric thought to himself as a blazing piece of fire began to form above his soft palm.

"How the hell is this possible?" Questioned Mogranius himself as he glanced upon this old enemy, yet at the same time feeling relieved that the power hasn't been passed down. How did he know? Well, Mogranius figured it out completely when he asked the true question to himself. "Why isn't he attacking?"

Surely someone who has been blessed with so much power would attack, little did they know King Xakro ill.u.s.tratio lll's theory that a Golden Blood's heart can get rid of the course. But that's not the case here, Chan is as confused as our Heroes and is even blaming them for this explosion!

"Attack!" Yelled Chan from the top of his lungs like a howling wild dog and pulled out his sword to fight the enemies of Crutal Kingdom.

...

A bit earlier, a man charged against the Main Gate of Crutal Kingdom before this disaster of an explosion happened. Grabbing the two Guards by the head and smashing them against the wall, he ensured that their death was quick when he stepped on their necks after but he indeed ensnared more attention by Guards who happen to patrol the area, walking above the walls.

This at least gives us a small hint of where the Guards who usually stand by the Main Gate, might have went to. To hell! A well deserved punishment for such foul souls, at least one who doesn't stand in Solitude with the illas religion would think so.

An alarm rang, one Guard yelled after the other until the message reached to the Guard who is in charge of hammering the bell, located at the training Yard near the Castle. When that large bell was hit, it was made sure that Crutal Kingdom is under attack.

So much panic struck this Capital Kingdom, that one would think all of Ignis has stood up to tear this Kingdom down to every last bit be it flesh or rock! But the only considered enemy here is one man!

A bundle of Guards appeared right in front of him as soon as he entered the Kingdom, and he could hear a lot more shouting like madmen from the left side and smaller portions here and there from the left.

Waving his sword once, he victimized half of the Guards closest to him and kicked one of them right to the gut, making that enemy fall down and quickly after cough up blood accompanied by the fact that the pain remained so insistent, the enemy felt like someone was suffocating him, as if someone punctured his lungs.

Two more opposing men fled the scene when they got a taste of their friend's blood, and the three remaining had their head sliced clean off their body as if they were battling a god of swordsmanship, but in the process he accidentally hit a few innocent civilians, causing wound too rough for them to have a chance of recovery.

He couldn't care less, knowing that he did it by accident and that the people he sliced are ill.u.s.tratios of whom even their Ignite friends despise. But when he noticed that he sliced a child, the least he could do was put him out of his misery. He approached the child closer, raised his swors

The man opposing Crutal Kingdom, made a run for it straight ahead to reach his target, the Castle of Crutal Kingdom! Once me made his way up to the Kingdom centre, he could hear many many rough footsteps behind him. Signifying that the enemies have caught on his trail and are ready to put up a fight regardless of the Arsenal gap.

"I should loose this tail!" The man thought and afterwards made a sharp turn to the right. Bashing his sword through a house before he started dragging it across, making the house collapse behind him followed by many screams of the family inside.

Again he thought, "Those were likely ill.u.s.tratios." That small guilt still existed throughout this rageful behaviour, but he is not here to raid the Kingdom and kill as many Guards as he can. His target still remained the Castle!

He saw the men behind him stopping around the house, with more aims of looking for him instead of trying to save the victims under the collapse. Using the opportunity, he ran as fast as he could straight ahead before he made a right turn to once again connect to the main road, leading towards the Castle.

And indeed it worked, the enemy Guards are now at least 100 meters behind and they are getting further back by the passing moment. Best part yet, he is only meters away from reaching the Castle. Reaching step by step closer to his destiny.

The Castle had no Guards in front of its door, signifying that there might be even less Guards inside considering the fact that the alarm bell rung. Using the opportunity he did not slow down, bashing against the door with both of his feet forward and forcing it out of its hinges.

The door slammed down and he could see a rolled parchment flying at his right side and blood blowing up on the left. Signifying that he has taken either a Guard victim or anyone else with this door solely.

He ran straight forwards for a few steps before he saw the target, sitting on a throne and not even moving a muscle in this situation. Xakro ill.u.s.tratio lll, he is the target. He is the reason why this 10 foot tall Calidum Lutum stood like a mountain in this castle today and killed so many just to get here.

"What... Do you want... fine creature?" Xakro didn't know if he should either feel amazement or anger to see a Calidum Lutum with his own eyes, he even felt envious before that his rotten son Chan managed to see a town full of these large humans.

Not understanding a word of what Xakro just said, this Calidum Lutum man just reached for the staff sheathed on his back and pulled it in front of him. What was to see? Simple beauty! Once merged with the aid of Cauldron, melted in to perfection.

The heart of the dead Calidum Lutum back at Pameres Kingdom mixed along with the Frozen Toe from the Giant ill.u.s.tratio back at Orientis Ignis, form a special substance. Which regardless of how many time it would be tried, it would always end up looking like an orb with 6 thick dull spikes at the top accompanied by a light blue colour occupying most of the orb, and a lava like colour spilling from the top of the spikes like a river with many many branches.

A beautiful sight indeed but what is the purpose? Without understanding what King Xakro meant, this tall Calidum Lutum man shouted in a language King Xakro can understand. "You killed my brother!" He shouted in the ill.u.s.tratian language.

Afterwards he put his right foot forward and with a strong forceful motion he moved the staff forward too and a beam of dark heavily visible light split through the air and reached Xakro ill.u.s.tratio lll!

The light occupied his chest, making him feel like his soul was being drained out of his chest, taking the ability to even move a finger muscle for him and at the end rendering him powerless!

The dark light disappeared in mid air, and afterwards the light of the same colour arose from Xakro's chest and formed near him like a blob before it flew at inhumane speed towards the staff.

A second after, Chan opened his eyes again... I did say eyes... He is finally able to see with both eyes! He glanced down at his legs, noticing the extra vision and then he saw his hands too, but they no longer had any burn marks, they were no longer torched in to shade of black, moving his arm more he even saw green hair reaching all the way down to his buttocks and he could feel his chin getting heavier because of his sudden growing beard.

Taking a deep heartful breath after, finally breathing freely and feeling his thoughts clearing up. He murmured to himself, "The Curse has been cured." And afterwards he felt his intentions shift by the passing second, with his main motive being to see his kids.

The Calidum Lutum man noticed this sudden change of colour primarily, but Xakro felt more and more confused because he didn't kill any Calidum Lutum directly. However, whatever the case this beast is ready to attack so Xakro stood from his throne and tried to form a sphere of fire in between his palms.

Tried it once, no luck. Tried it again, he began to become frustrated. Tried it for the third time, he just began to look stupid. Now he finally came in to realization, "You took away my powers!"

King Xakro ill.u.s.tratio lll might have not been the most truthful with Chan, because he never intended to give Chan only freezing powers. He wanted to pass down everything to him, since no child carried his power through the bloodline. This staff, is designed to give power but also to take.

And the Calidum Lutum man carried more knowledge about this staff, but it isn't something hard to believe either. If this staff is aimed anywhere that isn't a human, it will cause a devastating explosion! "I'm coming brother."

The Calidum Lutum man aimed the staff before his own two feet, his brother who got shot down by a explosive crossbow bolt went through his mind and he finally waved the staff towards the ground.

The dark matter smashed against the ground, and an explosion formed so fast that a blink of an eye would be enough to miss everything, or sleep permanently. The Castle's ceiling shattered and flew high towards the sky, the walls separated in large chunks and houses in the nearby area shared a devastating fate.
