Draxus' group had finally entered the castle, with the number of enemies they faced, Draxus and Gayle were wiping them off constantly, be it knights or [People of Earth]. They were killing without stopping against their opponents as they march towards the throne room.
They continued staining the halls of the castle with the blood of each guard they brutally murdered. A scene of carnage crosses through every room they go through. They continued like that until they arrived to the door to the throne room. "Alright, quick summary everyone. It seems I detect a lot in the next room. Since we're fighting with an MDB on us, we'll have to really make an effort here. Are you all ready?" Draxus looked over to the girls and asked if they're ready. Draxus brought out a breaching charge and some small canisters. "Lily, Julie, go for the King and Queen, they're at the end, but I'll give you both cover. Audrey, you're going to go wild here, once the MDB breaks, there'll be some time for the badges to be activated again. When that time comes..." "Don't hold back." Audrey had an excited smile as she responded to Draxus. "Pauleen, Juniper, Gayle, make sure to hand that hero's ass to him." The three were ready, as they knew that they will be fighting the hero now. "I'll deal with the rest." Draxus placed the breaching charge as he had everyone stand behind him. After a few moments, the breaching charge exploded and destroyed the door. Draxus instant threw the smoke grenades after pulling the pins on each one. "Go! Lily! Julie!" Lilianna and Julianna rushed forward under the smoke covers while Draxus and the others rushed through the center.
Draxus sheathed both of his swords and instantly fluttered his jacket. What came out after was twelve 8-inch nails in-between his fingers. He threw them around under the smoke and one towards the chest of the hero. The hero was surprised as he felt something break on his chest. The badge was instantly destroyed and Audrey was able to feel her magic. Being surrounded by hundreds of knights within the throne room, she immediately activated her magic and started bombarding the surroundings.
In that moment, she noticed a familiar presence, not an ally, but an enemy. She noticed one of the mages in the room, when their gazes connected, she showed a sinister smile. Audrey was confused at first, but then memories flash on her mind.
The battle in the Fae Realm, the battle where she was almost killed and the sheer power that came from the opponent. She had bombarded the knights and eliminated most of them instantly. But before she could redirect her next attack, she saw Draxus barely block an attack, it was from an opponent that she had an extreme grudge to.
"You really like attacking from the side don't you?" Draxus immediately started talking smack to the opponent on his left where he blocked a spear with his two swords. "It's about time I get rid of you, [Prime Existence]. I can't allow you to grow even further than now." "Hoh? This means that your group is getting afraid of my growth then." Draxus is no longer getting pushed back by Iapetus' power. However, they are currently evenly matched. "Wrath! Unknown!" A devil appeared from behind Draxus and slid down behind Draxus, kicking out his footing. Iapetus adjusted his spear and attacked from above, but was blocked by Draxus' swords. He then reached out his hand to his chest and pushed him towards the wall. Draxus quickly created a wall of ice behind him so he wouldn't get hurt getting slammed through the walls as he disappeared with Iapetus into the walls of the castle. "Drax!!!" The girls shouted, since they realized that Draxus is getting displaced no matter what. Wrath and Unknown followed Iapetus as if they were pushing Draxus to a trap. "Audrey! Get to Draxus! I'll handle the upcoming reinforcements!" Gayle took command, as she realized that Audrey had slightly panicked in the face of two enemies, one who she had lost against, and the other who she is holding an intense grudge against. Audrey flew down and through the broken walls of the castle, leaving the rest of the Sentinels to fight.
Lilianna and Julianna were distraught as Draxus was pushed away, they started to think about the risk as Draxus seemed to be fighting against three dangerous opponents. "Lily, Draxus is...!" "We can't stop here Julie, we have to get Mother and Father away from this place. I know Draxus will be in danger, but I feel like he can do it." Lilianna and Julianna are both concerned, as it is Draxus who is in danger. "Right... He predicted it... So he knows that he's going to be dealing with them..." Just as they reached the royals, the Hero tried to stop them. However, Gayle instantly stood in front of the hero. "Your life ends here, hero." "Tch, so it's you again huh? Have you finally come to terms on being my slave?" "Nobody here is getting enslaved, or maybe just you? Because you're heading straight to hell to be Satan's cock sucker." Gayle rushed forward and blocked his attack, then she kicked him back to be surrounded by her, Juniper, and Pauleen. "Besides, it looks like you're quite small there, I've been to bed with Draxus before, and he's quite overwhelming there." Gayle was saying some unnecessary things. Pauleen and Juniper have already heard it from her before, Lilianna and Julianna already knew from Draxus in their past, so everyone was unfazed as Gayle continued to decimate the Hero's pride, angering him completely.
"Father! Mother!" Lilianna called out to her parents, both of which are in despair and fear as their country might be falling. "Please listen to us! This country is done for good! It's been falling ever since the alliance with Temockria!" The King was shocked, unable to seemingly respond. The Queen however left her seat and went to hug both Lilianna and Julianna. "M-Mother..." "Dear... Please, leave this country with us... Lilianna and Julianna have grown so much... We should appreciate their efforts as parents..." The Queen sided with her daughters, the King however was looking around, trying to question if his decisions were truly correct or not. "Lilianna, Julianna, can you save the reunion for later, it'll be difficult to protect both of your escape once the reinforcements arrive." Having their reunion cut short, Gayle glanced over to Pauleen to create a path for them to escape through. She shot a powerful arrow towards the wall as Juniper and Gayle were keeping the Hero's attention. "Go! Lily! Julie! We can handle the rest here!" Pauleen told them to go ahead with both the King and the Queen. The broken wall led to a different room which they could use as their route for escape. They brought the King and the Queen through and left the throne room.
Draxus ended up on a wide area royal bathroom after pushing away Iapetus with a shockwave. He removed the rubble that was covering him as he grabbed both of his swords and sheathed one of them. He then brought out nails from his jacket and started looking around if the enemies have given chase. After some moments, he realized that his memories are starting to flash again, he knew what is up this time and threw the nails everywhere. Mnemosyne appeared from behind one of the pillars. "Since the memory player is here, I can guess what you all are planning." Iapetus finally appeared from the wall Draxus came from, along with him were Unknown and Wrath. Seeing that Draxus is faced with four opponents, he laughed a bit.
"I guess none of you are playing around this time." Draxus watched as his four enemies prepare to fight in a formation.
