Thousands of women, men and children were slaughtered by the goblin army. The building started to fall and a team of goblins from outside the falling wall kept coming. When Luna and I arrived at the palace, Ayabe had already gathered his troops for battle. Ayabe spoke to his troops "Now is the time for us to destroy these traitors! We will fight together! We will line up together! ... And! ... we will show them! ... there is no mercy!".
All his troops raised their swords and cheered, "For Stepheniey! For Ezeldarm!".
"Defend this kingdom! Protect our home!" She shouted.
"Hey Roku! Come here." Ayabe called me. I walked over to him.
"Here... take this" Ayabe handed me a sword. The sword belonged to my father, Ichiro Ezeldarm and I accepted it.
Suddenly, the front door in front of us collapsed and there, Yamada and his army. "That's him, prince Ezeldarm" Yamada smiled.
The Army of Elves made their position at the front between us and Yamada. I shouted at Luna "Luna! Run!" and she ran away.
"Huh! You think you can run away from me !? ... no, all you can do is die!" Yamada laughed.
"Battalion! Shoot them!" He ordered his soldiers to shoot us.
Dozens of arrows flew towards us and the Elves raised their shields to protect us from the arrows. They succeeded.
Then, Yamada's army moved towards us and the Elves went and defended us both.
Ayabe jumped into the air and fell towards the enemy. He hit the ground with his sword in the middle of the enemy line. He stood raising his sword to the sky and suddenly a light as fast as lightning entered his sword as if the sword had absorbed the light. The enemy went towards him and Ayabe swung his sword. All the troops besieging Ayabe were eliminated by him with one attack but it was not over, the enemy march was still coming.
As for me, I looked for Yamada and there he was, standing on the wall. I shouted at him "Traitor!".
He looked at me "ohh? Still alive I see" and smiled.
"Why !? Why are you all doing this !? What have I done to you !? You are our friend." I was angry with him.
"Friends? Huh! ... we're not friends." he laughed.
"Then why are you doing this? It's madness!" I asked him.
"This is the only way for us to survive and thus we need to join them." he spoke as if he was no longer the Yamada I knew.
"Besides, I'm tired of seeing you always being the strongest fighter among us." He told me that he wanted to be more than just a normal human being.
"You can probably become a stronger Horoku Ezeldarm. Look at me now. I've become a stronger creature than a normal human and you too should follow me. You just have to join us or die."
"I'm giving Horoku a chance. Join us or die with the weak." he tried to influence me.
"No" I answered with a dull face.
"Then die". He took his sword.
"Then you leave me with no choice but to stop you" I raised my sword and went against him.
He jumped from the wall past me and I faced him. He kicked me and I fell. As I tried to stand up, he kicked me in the face. He stepped on my chest with his right foot and raised his sword. Ayabe came to try to save me. Suddenly, there was an object falling from the sky hitting the ground hard in front of me and Ayabe.
The place where it is covered is covered with dust. Yamada seemed to be smiling. "He has arrived." Yamada said.
I ask. "Who is HE?"
He answered. "The Chaos Bearer ... the real king ... the savior of the world ... Lord Tanake" when the dust was clean and there he was ...
... the traitorous heir of the Ezeldarm family ...
half man, half Elf ...
...Tanake Ezeldarm.
