Chereads / Night's Destined Legend / Chapter 9 - Invasion (Part 1)

Chapter 9 - Invasion (Part 1)

Trial? Kori could not think why they would hold a trial for him. Even though he is not from this world, he didn't do anything wrong. Matter of fact, he just got her 3 days ago. So why? The room felt tense, very tense. He looked up to see the people standing with the king. He had no escape. They looked as powerful or even more than the ogres they fought.

Kori noticed in particular two people with king on the alter with golden hair and armor. One of them was the bastard who called him trash. He had long hair and face resembling the king. The other with short hair who stood in the back sighing.

[King: You look at lost, Kori.]

[Kori: Of course I'm lost, I didn't do damn thing!]

The King looks at Kori and furrows his eyebrows. He puts his hand to his chin and starts to stroke his beard deep in thought.

[King: I see, you must not have much knowledge on the world much have you?]

[Kori: Knowledge on the world?] He said softly.

What he said was somewhat true. Kori did not know much of this world and its origins. He did not know why it took his sister and the abilities people were using. He was so caught in the moment that it did not hit him until now. Then-

[Kori: Ughughhh]

It hit Kori he wasn't home and he was kidnapped. He did not know if he could ever return home. He started throwing up as tears glided down his cheeks. Everyone in the room was puzzled and shocked by what was happening. The King glanced at Kori.

[King: Are you ok?]

Kori looked up as he was gathering himself and his breathe.

[Kori: Yes I'm fi-]

Kori was cut off by the sudden rumble of the ground. The room shook and you could hear the shock in peoples voices. The king swiftly got out of his seat and looked at the wwindow in the back of the place room with awe. Kori, who was still looking at the king, saw the glare in the kings eyes. Kori started to turn around slowly.

He saw a beaming light from the window pointing towards the northern gate. Kori's mouth opened wide.

[Kori: Auhh! What's going o-!]

Kori again was interrupted. But this time, It was the quick rush of ruble in dust from the wall with the window everyone was starring at. BOOM! the room filed in grey.

[Kori: Cough Cough..]

Kori was trying hard to clear this throat of the dust. Coughing could be heard in the room. Other sounds like yelling and screaming as well. Kori was in surprise by this event unfolding.

[???: Well, well. Humans really are still the weak trash they always been]

Kori looked up to see who was speaking. Someone with a carefree and relaxed voice. Kori looked up, there stood a man with a smug face. He had short snow white hair signifying his attitude. He had a smug grin on his face while wearing a black long jacket and white underneath. He had earrings on both ears, and a strong aura.

[???: Pathetic.]

The blonde short hair man stepped forward as the dust began to clear.

[Blonde Hair Man: It cant be.. Why are you here!]

The King now standing out of his seat looked over to yell at the golden haired boy.

[King: Julius stop! You cant beat him!]

[Julius: Take my father somewhere safe!]

Half of the people in armor on the alter escorted the king out the room. Kori still in shock of what was going on sat there silent.

[???: Oh ho.. you really think you can take me on human?]

[Julius: I am Julius Alexander the 8th strongest human, the next sword master and the son of Lazier Alexander th-]

[???: Yeah, yeah, you can stop now. All your mere human titles are boring me.]

[Julius: Damn It! How dare you mock me. Anon!!!]

[Anon: Hah! Don't get to mad now, and its rude to use just my name without my title. 8th strongest Julius.]

Kori stood there in awe not knowing what was going on. Many of the nobles were trying to scurry out the door.

Then someone in a cloak hops down at Kori picks him up and jumps away.

[Kori: Wait!! What's going on, what are yo-!?]

[???: Sssh. Just be quiet for now?]

That voice rang familiar to Kori. he looked up in surprise.

[Kori: Terra!?]

The person in the cloak carrying Kori managed to escape out the building swiftly. They dropped Kori.

[Terra: I'm surprised you knew.]

Terra stood there with a cloak on and looking down at Kori who was still on the floor.

[Kori: well I mean I heard your voice.]

[Terra: That's not it. I'm surprised you told me apart from my sister by voice.]

[Kori: Heh, I don't really know either.]

Kori looked at the North gate. It was completely in ruins.

[Kori: Terra what's going on. Why is everything destroyed and who is the Anon guy.]

[Terra: I'm surprised you don't know but-]

Julius stood there with his sword out in his right hand. The sword gleamed off his golden armor and was as long as a leg. Julius stood with a serious face full of anger starring directly at Anon. He was profusely sweating but trying to hide his fear.

[Julius: Damn it, Plague of Crippling Anon! Why are you here!]

[Anon: Eh? I'm here for the key but it seems he's not in this palace. The radar said otherwise a while ago. Probably ran away. Anyways, I would love to kill you but I must get going.]

[Julius: WHAT! Damn it! How dare you mess with me! Talking about a key?! I'm your battle right now!]

Julius quickly rushes at Anon in one step. He holds his sword getting ready to slash Anon towards his neck area.

[Julius: HAHHHHH!]

When Julius slashes his sword is quickly deflected. Not just any deflection, but a what looked like some time of protection surrounding Anon. It looked like muscles, but it was melting and a dark purple color. On top of that, eyes were popping out of this substance with veins surrounding it. The sword couldn't not even chip substance. And Anon, who looked to be controlling the substance did not move an inch.

[Anon: Heh, who do you think you are?]

Julius quickly falls back some 20 feet.

[Julius: Wha-... Just what is that.]

The substance starts to circle around anon and then form a ball above his head. The ball quickly launches at Julius which he evades. He then again rushes at Anon. Strike after strike, nothing seemed to affect the substance protecting Anon.

[Anon: Kek kek kek, is this the extent of the 8th strongest hero? How sad?]

Julius once again falls back and grunts.

[???: Sir Julius] A women in purple armor calls out to him. In the back Julius's subordinates stand. '

[Julius: Gracia... You guys stand back! I got this!]

His subordinates take a step back and hold their breathes. Julius charges his energy with his sword held up to his face. He breathes in and a golden aura surrounds him. Then its all released In and instant. The gold surrounding him and his blue eyes lighten.

[Julius: This time Anon! If you try to block any of my attacks your dead! GOLDEN BREAKER!!]

[Anon: HAH!!! Stupid human, just try it]

Staying calm and composed Anon summons 15 more of the spheres of the substance he had earlier.

Julius charges at Anon at lightning speed, with a golden trail. At the same time, Anon send the spheres at Julius. Julius dodges one and hops to the wall. Two more try locking on to him. He destroys them in a slash and continues he bolt at full speed. He dodges one of the wall, and back to the ground. Five appear in the air and smash down on to him. Then, he emerges out the smoke still rushing at Anon. he slices four more in his path as he takes a battle stance. As he slides in front of Anon he gets ready to cut him.

[Julius: ANON GET READY FOR THIS!! HAHHHH!]

Julius unleashes a strike towards Anon. The substance still there blocking and Anon still unfazed. The strike continues with a golden glow. Julius pushes

[Julius: MOREEE!! AHHHH!!]

Then, his sword starts cutting through the substance. Julius forms a smirk on his face. He actually has a chance at beating Anon. Suddenly, Anon returns the smirk with his own. Then, the substance protecting anon suddenly forms spikes and pierces Julius. The spikes are so long the pierce through his body and if him in the air.

[Julius: Arrgggh! How?!]

[Anon: You mere human, You think you can beat me? Foolish. FOOLSIH! VERY, VERY FOOLISH!]

The spikes retract and in while mid air Julius gets kicked across the room by Anon. One of Julius's Subordinates rush to heal him.

[Subordinate: Lord Julius!!!]

His subordinates look in anger and rashly take out their swords.

[Gracia: FIGHT FOR LORD JULIUS'S HONOR!]

All of them yell in agreement. The small party of ten start rushing Anon with Gracia leading.

[Anon: HAH! foolish humans.]

2 men in armor get stabbed by the spikes of Anon's spheres. One man stands in awe of their deaths and Julius snaps his fingers.

[Subordiante: AHHHH!!!]

The man started melting into the substance Julius has been wielding. The mush stayed on the ground without a trace of mankind. One Man tries rushing over the mess and then quickly get stabbed by a spike arising from the substance on the floor. Anon finally moves from his idle position in front of one of the subordinates who then stares at him in fear. Then, the purple substance starts flowing out his mouth nose and ears. He tries to stop the flow as he screams for his life. Anon Smirks at him and brushes his hand right threw his neck like air. His blood colored purple. He walks over to the man standing next to him and just with a glance the mans body turned into dust.

[Gracia: Everyone!! Stay together!]

Her words to no avail. Everyone frightened by Anon. They all get mascaraed one by one. Then only Gracia and the subordinate healing Julius stand.

[Anon: Really, I'm not a fan of slaughter. I would prefer if you guys left peacefully. But, today I'm in a bad mood.]

Anon walks up slowly to the defenseless and scared Gracia. He lifts her chin.

[Anon: Are you perhaps afraid?]

Anon's face looks of satisfaction as Gracias of fear.

[Anon; I-... I-... I LOVE IT I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!!]

Anon breaks character and then swiftly coughs to straiten his attitude.

[Anon: Honestly, fear makes killing you guys 110% better.]

Then, out of nowhere Anon's arm goes flying off. Standing between Anon and Gracia was a wounded Julius.

[Julius: Get your dirty hands off Anon!]

Julius looks with a stern face. Anon who looks surprised for a second composes himself and regenerates his arm with the substance.

[Anon: Julius you little-!!. HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT MY KILL! HOW DARE YOU HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOUUUUU!]

[Julius; You sicko!]

[Anon: I had enough! I'm killing you and everyone here now.]

[Julius: Gracia I need you to run and get the number 5!]

[Gracia: But sir, what about you!]

[Julius: I said hurry! Don't worry about me!]

Gracia stares for a second, and then runs out the building. Julius is thinking that him and the 5th strongest human could probably drive Anon away. But, how can he stall time without dying.

[Anon: You must really want to die. Don't worry, I'll make it as painful as possible.]

[Julius: Don't worry, I don't plan on dying just yet.]

Julius and Anon charge at each other. Julius was feeling weak, but he needed to use all of his power to stall time. Julius clashes with Anon. They both step back again.

[Julius: You really are strong I bet you aren't even using 10 percent of your power.]

[Anon: I would worry about your arm more than me.]

Julius looks down at his arm which is being consumed by the substance that Anon uses]

[Anon: Usually, If a human comes in contact with my blood they instantly die as you saw earlier. But, Mr. Hero, you seem to have some strong spiritual energy. Just how long will you last?]

Julius was in pain. His arm was searing pain, but he had no time to scream in agony. He then again rushes at Anon. When he is almost in front of him he is met by a sphere hitting right into him. When the dust cleared, he was covered in the substance. There was too much pain, he could feel himself fading. If there was one more person, just one more.

Then suddenly a person walks infront of Julius. The man turns his head.

[???: Hey you ok?]

The man had brownish black hair and foreigner clothes. Julius opens his eyes wider to see him more clearly. It was none other than Kori Takashi, the many from the trial.

[Anon: EHHH?!?! who are you? WHY! WHY! WHY! WHY MUST EVERYONE GET IN MY WAYYYYY?!?!?! I WANT YOU DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEADDDD!!!]

Kori looks over slowly to Anon.

[Kori: Hey! You crazy bastard.] Kori form a serious stern look on his face. The menacing look of the intent to kill.

[Kori: Shut up.]
