"Everyone! Don't listen to this monster! Clearly. Nobody has such abilities. Only monsters are supposed to have such powers, right!?"
"Yes! Skuti is right! These people are monsters!"
"Guys! We're not! Please. Listen to me! We're trying to make your lives better! Please. Join us!"
"Never! Everyone! We're Vikings! We are supposed conqueror of lands! We won't back out from any challenge!"
"Vikings? Truly… Barbarians..."
"What is it Takao? What's with them being vikings?"
"Well. I happen to had studied them."
"Eh?"
"Nevermind. They won't back down. They are predators. Conquerors who won't submit to anyone as simple like that. We must force them."
"What if…"
"Then they will die."
"That's… Not what I actually wanted…"
"Fine then. I'll give them a chance. If they still don't want it and fought back... I'll kill them without mercy."
"But..."
"It's your request right? Then let's do this."
"Alright."
Takao then turned to them.
"You idiots! I'll give you one more chance! If you still don't submit. I'll have to kill you all, unfortunately."
"Then bring it on!"
"Fine. I'll have you meet your brother."
"Huh!? You bastard!"
He dashed to him once again with his axe.
"Die!"
"It's futile…"
He swung his axe at him. At the same time. Takao grabbed the handle and swung it on the ground with Skuti. After then. He kicked his stomach so hard it created a small crater on the ground.
"Hahhh!"
"Submit."
But he still fought back. Which forces Takao to jump to avoid being hit by the huge hand.
Takao then returned the punch many times stronger than his.
It landed on the stomach once again. Further sinking Skuti's body into the ground.
"Gahh!"
But as Skuti grabbed his axe. A blade is already on pointed on his neck.
"Submit!"
"Never!"
"Fine."
Their weapons clashed. But Takao proved superior in that single instance and sliced Skuti's throat.
"Ha… You… Bastard…"
While holding his throat with blood visually escaping it at a fast rate.
Takao's dagger extended into a sword length and finishes him off with a stab through the back directly on the heart.
"You talk too much."
Everyone is shocked. Their leader has been killed off. The strongest viking among them.
"No! Skuti died!"
"Don't worry. If you submit. Like what my subordinate said earlier. You will get all those benefits when you submit to me. I will resurrect him after you submit and still have him your leader."
"Ahh…"
Everyone is silent. They don't have the courage of deciding as Skuti is the one who decides everything for their good. But. Who will make a decision as he is now dead.
"I'll give you guys a minute to decide. If there is no answer. You will all join him. Don't worry. Heaven is a good place."
Everyone is surely terrified. Of course. It's because this person is capable of achieving such a thing.
"We will submit! Please! Spare us!"
A person spoke out.
"I am Skuti's direct subordinate! Please, everyone! For our safety! Please let's join this man!"
"King!"
"Huh?"
"Call me Mage King! If you do wish to submit. Then. I will put you under my protection!"
"Such a magnificent aura of a true king..."
Martin could not help but mumble.
"Everyone!"
"We submit! Mage King!"
"Very well. Welcome to my Magedom."
Takao then resurrected Skuti.
"Oi. You guys are now under me."
"What!?"
"They decided. Well. They are now mine. You, Tell me. Do you wish... To die for good. Or join me?"
"… Fine. I will."
"Alright. You're still gonna be their leader. You are now a family of nobles."
"… Just like that? We are now nobles?"
"Of course you are valuable. You said that you guys are vikings. I am interested so just be thankful."
"Yes..."
Skuti then knelt like a knight.
"I submit… My Lord."
"Mage King. Don't make a mistake next time."
"Yes. My Mage King."
"Alright. Let's move on!"
A huge portal is then made.
"I had prepared your houses. Let's go on."
He moves through the portal with martin. Soon. Others followed.
After exiting the portal. All of them are surprised.
"This is…"
"Your place."
"I didn't…"
"Didn't expect it?"
"Yes."
"So. Tell me. You're family name?"
"Is it alright to use my real family name?"
"Go on."
"Ruez. I am Skuti Ruez. Thus, I will use it for this time."
"Good."
Takao placed his hand on him.
"There."
"Huh?"
"You surely could feel it. Right?"
"As cold as our land. I could feel it."
"I see. That is why you could survive that harsh neverending winter."
"Yes."
"Use it."
"Ha!"
A large ice has then been formed.
"Alright. I'll distribute it."
"To everyone?"
"Yes. This is the proof someone belongs to your family."
"I see, My King."
"Go on. Enjoy it. Everything is inside. Food is free for everyone. I still have many things to settle."
"Yes!"
Until then. Many things happened. Which led to this.
"The peace treaty is now formed! But… I have a question. My fellow King Arwana."
"What is it?"
"Last time I had planned on two of you. Nobody dies when I destroyed that city."
"What!?"
King Gallensia spoked.
"Yes. And… I demanded the families of two soldiers. Well. They are now having a good life along with your three elite soldiers stationed in your friend's battalion. Also. The mentor is currently there."
"What does this mean!?"
"I am not trying to broke the peace or anything. Of course. As allies. We should not keep secret from each other, no?"
"Then?"
"It is true that I could resurrect people. So. There is this person who has been seeking revenge. Atrox."
"What? That is the kid Isaac is always telling me."
"Well. Give me his parents' corpses."
"Very well. I'll have my servants find them in the graveyard."
"No. They are not in any graveyard."
"What do you mean?"
"They have been accused of treason and killed."
"Then… If that's it. Then. There is no way we could recover it."
"Why is that?"
"Their bodies are either burnt or not given a proper burial and thrown somewhere."
"What!!? You dare say that!?"
A hooded person revealed himself and shouted.
"!?"
"Calm down, Atrox."
"…"
"That's…"
"Yes. He's Atrox. Very well. We had talked about it before this. We wanted the bodies."
"But there is now no way to recover it."
"Then. Here. Supposed that you can't give it. Then. Bring me the whole family of that noble who executed them."
"What!? That's not... Possible."
"Then. Another one. I'll give you one month. If you can't give it. I'll break our peace and I will declare a war of total annihilation."
"What?"
"Of course. I will revive those people that have been killed. Their bodies are not burnt into ashes. Right?"
"Yes."
"Alright. Your one month starts now."
And they disappeared after casting a portal.
Atrox who had revealed himself gave him a death glare.
"You better find it."
After they left.
"Find the identities of his parents and find that noble!"
"Yes!"
A race to avoid destruction has begun.
