Zark, following Keil herself; Walking through the throne room towards the exit, he came to the front of a large door on the other side of the room.
Rising more than seven meters, this masterful double door was meticulously engraved with an Angel on the right panel and a demon on the left panel. The engraving was so vivid that he felt like they might jump out of the door and start attacking.
As if the door had some kind of consciousness, it slowly opened automatically.
Leaving the throne room behind. They came to a huge dome-shaped room. A large four-color crystal embedded in the ceiling emitted rays of white light. There were seventy-two niches in the wall, each of which had a support for a statue, but they were empty which gave the place an appearance of desolation.
As they advanced, he noticed that ahead there were some humanoid figures waiting, they looked like part of the castle staff.
The first servant to catch his eye was a young butler of about 25 or 27 years old, elegantly dressed in his traditional black tuxedo.
His hair was completely navy blue, slicked back giving him a boyish look. His back was strong like a steel sword. His face possessed a calm and solemn appearance, which made him have a gentle aura, but his eyes were sharp like those of a wolf after his prey.
Following behind the butler and flanking the hall, were five maids and three other butlers, each with a distinctive style.
The first maid did not have an apron on her uniform, instead she had a beautiful black chalet with long sleeves with buttons, around her neck was a green scarf, her face was stoic and ruled revealing a cold personality and calculator.
The next was a butler whose uniform was a tuxedo identical to that of the first butler, what differentiated him from the first was a slightly messy hair and fiery red color, and a fresh smile that brimmed with energy was positioned on his face.
Then a maid continued, but more than a maid, her appearance was more similar to a librarian with elegant clothes, her maid outfit had a long skirt with a side cut, her face was the perfect representation of a beautiful gentle teacher, but at the same strict time, had the frame of glasses, but they did not have crystals, his hair was black and fell placidly down his back to the height of his waist.
A butler continued, and like the previous ones, the most remarkable thing was his gentleman color, which was blond along with his style, which was short and combed back, his eyes were golden and his slight smile released a large amount self-confidence.
The next was a servant girl, her face was the representation of serenity and tranquility, her eyes were crimson like freshly spilled blood and she had divided pupils like those of a feline; her skin was unnaturally pale like a corpse's, her maid outfit was a combination of traditional nun dress and Victorian maid outfit.
Followed by the previous maid, there was a peculiar butler, he wore a white long-sleeved shirt and on this was a sleeveless tuxedo vest of a peculiar light pink color, his hair was white as snow and to demonstrate his nature Inhuman on his head was a pair of ears similar to those of a fox and in the small part of his back a fluffy tail wagged slightly.
If the above was peculiar, what followed was exotic, the following was a servant who gave the appearance of being a kind of servant knight, since her hands and feet were covered with gauntlets and greaves of a metal that shone like the silver. The plates that made up her armor were maid uniform themed and she wore a white headdress instead of a helmet.
The latter was a complicated figure to describe, although he was dressed in a maid uniform, his short stature and androgynous features made it difficult to identify his gender, at first glance he could be seen as an adorable child with clothes of the opposite sex, but if he was carefully examined and Due to her apparent age, it was difficult to identify her real gender, but if the above were not enough, on her head and slightly hidden by her maid hat, were a cute cat ears.
As Zark was guided by Keil in the direction of the teleportation room, the group of maids and butlers suddenly bowed their heads and said in unison.
"Good morning Lord Zark."
Zark was puzzled, the action was unexpected and sudden, and although he was surprised, he quickly calmed his sudden emotions.
Unsure of how to answer, he simply said "Yes ... Anyway."
The group of butlers and servants raised their heads slightly showing a confused expression.
At the stares, Zark straightened his body and quickened his pace.
Soon after, a giant staircase with a luxurious red carpet in the middle appeared in front of him. Zark slowly followed Keil's step and down the stairs.
Suppressing his turbulent emotions, Zark quietly walked down a large hall. He was greeted by a world of grandeur and splendor reminiscent of a giant castle covered in marble.
Hanging from the high ceiling, equally separated, several chandeliers could be seen emitting a soft and warm glow. The glossy floor of the wide corridor reflected the light from the chandeliers above it, shining brilliantly like a mosaic of brilliant stars. If the doors along the corridors were to open, the luxurious furnishings within the rooms would attract the eyes of many.
Zark was simply stunned by the fact that such a beautiful place could exist.
Although he could see it with his own eyes, he still wasn't sure if this was truly real or just a dream.
Realizing that Keil didn't stop him, he hardened his resolve and decided to follow her.
Zark's footsteps echoed down the hall, followed by the sound of his staff hitting the ground. After turning a few times around the corners of the wide hall, Zark saw a woman walking towards him and Keil in the distance.
She had exquisite chestnut hair that reached her shoulders and her face had well-defined features.
She wore a maid outfit, which included a white apron over a long black dress, on her head was a Katyusha, a kind of tie with the function of tying her hair, at the height of her shoulders and finely embroidered in white yarn had the Roman numeral "IX". She was approximately 160 centimeters tall. Her body was slim, and her chest size was modest and conservative, you could almost say flat. Altogether, with the Victorian style of her it gave an impression of virtue and elegance.
When they were close to each other, the maid stepped beside her and bowed deeply to Zark and Keil.
Keil just ignored her, not dignifying her bow with any response.
In a situation like this, Zark didn't know what to do, everything seemed so strange and surreal that he was unable to give an appropriate response.
In response, Zark only raised his hand and said a simple "good morning."
Hearing the words, the maid slightly raised her head and looked at Zark with a surprised expression as she blinked several times.
Zark just looks at the maid's appearance, it was amazing how elaborate her uniform was. Especially, the exquisite embroidery on her apron was a matter of admiration. The level of detail in her outfit was beyond normal.
As he walked away from the surprised servant, Zark noticed something, his eyesight was excellent… no, more than excellent, although they were separated, he was still able to perceive every tiny detail. This made him uneasy.
It was just worrying. What was going on?
Leaving the maid behind, Zark continued on his way.
After exiting the teleportation room, the scenery of the luxurious corridor had changed to a dark corridor. At the end of the path he could see a large wooden door reinforced with metal bands, from under these an artificial light filtered.Zark, led by Keil, walked through the passage to the door.The door opened automatically the moment Keil was close enough. On the other side was a large arena, surrounding it were several layers of auditorium-type seating.This oval amphitheater had a length of one hundred and eighty-eight meters, a width of one hundred and fifty-six meters, and a height of forty-eight meters. This place could easily recall the great Roman Colosseum.The lighting in the place was as bright as daylight, and although it was a huge space, the entire amphitheater was covered, it was impressive that something so large was inside a building.But something made this place have a gloomy atmosphere, and that was the non-existence of an au
While being dragged Nyos replied "Well yes, but it's more fun the way I do it, don't you think?"When they were close enough, Keil let go of Nyos's hair like it was trash and put on a terrifying expression that only Nyos could see "Present yourself the right way!"Unable to resist Keil's intimidation, Nyos trembled slightly as his carefree stance was changed to a totally firm one."Yeah… Well…" With a much more terrifying look from Keil, Nyos was able to loosen his tongue and speak, although more than speaking, it was a prolonged shout "I am Nyos Minska! General of the Tower of Art and custodian of the west wing of the castle!""It's nice… see you?… Nyos. I hope I'm not interrupting anything "those were Zark's words; Although he himself had not realized that, his words conveyed enough calm and kindness to calm Nyos, who was in a tense situation on the part of Keil.Although Zark's words must have shown that there was no
If Nyos was slender, thin, with little muscle (ideal for a gymnast) and dressed in light and elegant clothing; Frey was the opposite, his body constitution was massive in comparison, he was about 2.20 meters tall and although he was not visible, his body seemed to overflow with muscles. The most noticeable thing about Frey was his equipment. On his body was jet black plate armor with silver edges at the plate joints. The helmet had a vaguely tower-like appearance; It did not have vecera, there was only a cross design in the area of its face that allowed visibility to the outside, but due to the style of the helmet (and the enchantments it had) it was impossible to see any detail of the face, allowing only to see an empty black. On his neck and waving on his back, is in an outstanding crimson cape of incredible quality, without hindering Frey's movement, the cape moved with total tranquility with light and fluid movements. The shoulder pads o
All of the featured characters possessed a combination of race, classes, and items that made them fearsome enemies, and some of them even possessed abilities that could be considered cheating (one of them was Zark and Frey himself, although there were others).In theory, each prominent character in the castle was as dangerous or even more dangerous than a player character.So only a few could rival in power.Considering the above, something occurred to him."What if it allowed you to fight each other? Something like a friendly showdown. "They both looked at each other (Nyos and Frey), the proposal was unexpected."Can we ...? - Nyos started."And I conclude the sentence Frey "... do it?"Zark nodded before replying "they can do it, as long as they avoid lethal attacks.""Oohh.""Oohh."They both seemed positively surprised by Zark's proposal, that was good, but he had to do a few things first."Befo
A total of 50 soldiers were riding through the grasslands. Each of them was muscular, vigorous, and attention-grabbing. These men could only be described with the word "robust". Even dressed in armor, one could see the muscles underneath.A man, in his 30s, with skin tanned from sun exposure, short hair, and black eyes sharp as a sword, looked at the man behind him."Marshal, we are approaching the first village.""I know Captain."Axel Halheimer, the Hero of the Sword, Wielder of the King Soul, the Grand Marshal of the Kingdom of Lothal, was traveling in the direction of the shadowy mountains of the southern region of the Duchy of Riverland.The duchy of Riverland was the duchy that was in the east of the Kingdom of Lothal, this duchy shared a border to the East with the Empire of Kaleth (with which the Kingdom of Lothal was at war).Suppressing the anxiety he felt, Axel prayed that his horse would be able to maintain a steady pace.
The Silhouette wandering over the rocky slope was barely recognizable as a man. Drooling, glassy-eyed, he muttered to himself.He walked stiff-legged like a sleepwalker, and his joints moved like a puppet.His mind was blank. He did not see anything of the landscape that surrounded him, he did not hear the wind, he did not feel the cold or the rain. He knew nothing of the people below the mountain who saw him from a distance.They locked their doors and scared their children with ghost stories in the gloomy mountains.He occasionally he remembered something. Not completely, just loose bits of the past. Sometimes he saw the beautiful smooth bones of those who had followed him, the eye sockets turned toward him with obedience and love.Sometimes he remembered how they chased him, how his eyes widened and his stiff legs tried to walk trying to escape from a dungeon.Most of the time, he knew that he had been betrayed, that everyone was in contr
In the amphitheater Zark was preparing to cast a spell on a scarecrow in a corner.In his arsenal of spells, he possessed all the spells on the Wizard, Sorcerer, and Cleric list; having at his disposal all the schools of magic (Abjuration, Divination, Conjuration, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, Necromancy and Transmutation), with such magical ability it would be easy to be overwhelmed by the quantity.As if that weren't enough, even when Zark used a simple low-level magic damage spell, since his class was a full caster, his spell's damage was automatically increased due to other effects that added extra damage. As a result, a simple damage spell did vastly more damage than normal.Zark looked to the side and saw that he was under the scrutiny of Frey and Nyos's curious eyes. His heart felt a little pressure, as he wasn't sure he was living up to his expectations.Zark sighed and looked back at the scarecrow.His eyes were looking at the scarecro
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Other than the scorched earth, nothing else was left standing."Ohhhhh ... so that's the power of 10d6 fire damage" Zark thought.Nyos and Frey looked puzzled and couldn't help but laugh out loud in front of Zark."... Frey, prepare a new scarecrow.""Ah. Yes, I will do it immediately! "Frey advanced holding another scarecrow, and placed it next to the ashes of the previous one.Zark walked in front of the scarecrow, looked at it, and cast a new spell."[Lightning Bolt]"A new magic circle of similar design emerged for this time of a sky blue tone, Immediately after completing the spell I did not activate it, instead it kept waiting, approximately every 6 seconds another magic circle appeared in front of the previous one.He continued to wait until a total of ten magic circles emerged. Suddenly a column of lightning was released heading vertically towards its chosen target wit
The Damenburg castle was a almost impregnable defensive structure. Able to support a siege for years due to the large amount of resources and supplies that were inside.If any intruder was able to infiltrate, it would meet many unpleasant surprises. As the Metroidvania construction of the castle caused its route partially labyrinthic and convoluted.Some areas of the castle were fully blocked and removable if certain items that worked as a key was not possessed.The location of the castle was a total mystery, because it was inside a valley between mountains and in the center of a forest with a deep fog.If the location of the castle was discovered, any unwanted guest would find many dangers designed to eradicate them.The first danger that any invader would face would be a dark forest with a fog so dense and deep that blocked solar light almost in its entirety. Unable to see, the invaders would be lost inside during hours, and even days. Well, the
After nonchalantly walking to the front of the assailant group, Isabell looked around.“Everyone, thank you for gathering in this place for me. Oh yeah, who is your leader? Could we negotiate for a moment? "Seeing that the bandits looked at one of their own, Isabell got the information she wanted. Which meant that with the exception of this man, the others were more than cockroaches. Blood tastes better if it comes from someone strong."What ... what do you want to negotiate?"After seeing the most beautiful young woman he had ever seen, the man who seemed to be her leader finally regained his composure and advanced towards her."Ahh, forgive me. The negotiation was just a joke to get the information she wanted. Forgive me."A few men looked confused, and in search of answers they began to look at each other, but among these men ...
A carriage was speeding away from the walled city.Four strong horses pulled a carriage that was large enough to carry six passengers.The surrounding area was unexpectedly illuminated by a bright moon hanging in the sky… But still, it was foolish to travel in haste on a night like this. Putting up lights, making camp and standing guard would be a wiser decision.To say that the night was a world in which humans were not in control would not be enough. To put it more clearly, the places where the light did not reach did not belong to humans. Countless animals and monsters lurked at night, many of which could see through the darkness and attack humans.On a dangerous night like this, the passengers only felt a slight vibration as the carriage moved down the road.This small vibration was not due to the carriage having excellent suspension, but rather because the carriage wa
Donn started running toward the lower part of town. The city of Riverheim was built at the junction of two rivers, whose flow merged into a new great river which extended from Riverland to the west coast of the Kingdom of Lothal, in Sealand.Due to the conflagration of the Y-shaped river, the city of Riverheim was divided into three main sectors; to the north was the commercial sector, where most of the artisans and middle-class bourgeois population were found; To the south was the Aristocratic Sector, although it had such a pompous name, in reality there were also the headquarters of the guilds, the cathedral of the quartet and the central church in the Duchy of Riverland of the Six Gods, although separated from the public and only available to a few, was the Villa Noble that covered the entire western area of the sector; To the East the popular sector was located, ignoring the beautiful name, that was the place where the poor neighborhoods were, that being t
Azrael looked around the luxurious room. Of course, if one were to compare this room with the rooms in Damenburg Castle, then it could be said that this room did not have any charm.Sure, that wasn't something surprising since he had simply chosen the wrong object to compare. It was like comparing iron to platinum.But even if platinum was higher in price, iron had another kind of utility.Azrael focused his gaze on the corner of the room and found that the luggage was already ready and assembled. They could leave immediately if they wanted to. Since Azrael hadn't prepared it, Isabell must have made it herself when she had left the restaurant."You should have let me pack the luggage."“What are you saying Azrael? Did you want to check my underwear? You are a perverted angel "The young woman straightened her body and shook her head. She was Isabell Dra
The operation was progressing smoothly, although the details of the mission were vague, the objectives were clear; collect information about the human nation called Kingdom of Lothal.As Azrael thought about the direction of the operation, he noticed a man walking towards him."Having to leave at this time must be a difficult decision for you ..."The man who spoke to Azrael was in his forties and fifties, clean-shaven and with black hair streaked with white streaks. Perhaps due to his age and his extravagant eating habits, he had a large belly.He was tastefully dressed, his elegant clothes spoke of a man of a high position."Are you Mr. Bryman?"Azrael nodded slightly as he greeted him, but the man was quick to stop such a gesture."Ah, you don't need to be so polite."His name was Thomas Bryman and he was a fairly
"Is this how your parents met?" asked a handsome man with night-black hair and deep eyes brimming with charisma."Romantic. Don't you think? " were the words of a charming girl whose beauty would amaze anyone who witnessed her, her silver hair was combed in such a way that she had a fringe that covered her left eye; her slim body and abnormally pale skin gave him a fragile appearance."I suppose ... he has the charm of him" said the handsome man, who wore an elegant long-sleeved black raincoat over a black leather jerkin which fitted perfectly to his torso; Gala pants along with refined black shoes finished making up his outfit."Right?" were the words spoken by the charming girl, who was wearing a beautiful black dress with red details; Her dress had a prominent victory style, so on her torso she had a tight corset which highlighted her feminine curves."Moving on to a less ... peculiar topic" began
"I offer you my humble respects, Earl Drake." The man's accent was particularly strong; it was obvious that he was a foreigner. Imperial, perhaps, or farther west, Leom thought, trying to place it. "And you, fair lady," he added as he turned to Shandri, "you are lovely. A beautiful rose between these two withered thorns. "The woman's face lit up at the simple compliment. A lopsided smile crept to her lips and she bowed gracefully without taking her gaze from the man's eyes. And what eyes did she have! They were of animal intensity, loaded with nameless appetites. She was swallowed up by that gaze and willingly surrendered to the sensation.The man had power and was not averse to exploiting it. A slow predatory smile appeared on her face.Shandri felt a force draw her toward the newcomer. It was a subtle but compelling sensation. She took a step toward him."Stop staring at him, woman, he's very unse
Shandri sat on the edge of the old man's bed and wiped the blood-streaked saliva off his chin, then turned her attention to his uncle. He had known him all his life. In other times he had kissed the ground where he walked, but with age he came to understand that man was a worm. "And I suppose I have no say in the matter." Leom studied his niece for an awkward moment as she pushed her long blonde hair away from her face. She was beautiful in her own way, with fair skin and fine bones. The combination of her gave him a charming air of delicacy, although in reality the young woman she possessed the bad temper of the Drake family and she could be as devious as a weasel if she wished. “Not in the least, I'm afraid, my dear. I wish it were otherwise, but I'm not the one who made the law. By accident of birth ... you turned out to be ... female. With no male children, your father's line ends and mine begins as the oldest
