Chapter 39: Toffer Arrives
After hearing what Victor said, all the people were confused. They were talking to each to understand what Victor declared. There was chaos everywhere. Everybody was panicked
Ariel was surprised. He couldn't speak and continued processing everything in his mind. He didn't know how to react. But he certainly understood the impact of Victor's declaration.
"What does it mean? Abandoning a continent means…." Anna babbled.
"It means that this continent will become a 'Free for All Continent' and no longer remain a human based continent," Toya completed Anna's words.
"As expected of the worst King, he is trying to play safe," Arthur rebuked.
"But…..that will make my way to become the King of Kings easier," Ariel exclaimed.
"Maybe…. or maybe not," Ronald added.
Victor opened his mouth again and everyone was silent.
"That is all I wanted to say," Victor claimed and his speech ended.
Everyone went back to normal. They discussed Victor's speech in several groups. They failed to understand what Victor actually was trying to do. But who knew Victor's goal other than himself.
Suddenly the former Irexor Grigol screamed in anger.
"What the hell are you thinking Victor?" Grigol shouted.
"Now that the Irexors have lost their power, you are just a mere pawn of Victor and he will chase you until death, won't he?" William giggled.
"No….no….this…..cannot….happen," Grigol added.
Grigol was disappointed but he wanted to release his anger by capturing kings with bounties. Thus he stood up and attacked William with his sand elemental power. He threw several sand balls towards William. But Broddy raised a metal wall and deflected the sand balls.
Grigol, a former Irexor was angry over losing his position without any reason. He had a brown colored long coat on his body. He was not musch tall. His body figure was neither fat nor slim. It was average. He had black hair. His eyes were black. His skin was white. His face looked ferocious. He also had a scar colored black on the right part of his face.
William had to fight back. He summoned his shadow blades and rushed to grigol. Grigol jumped back in order to defend himself. William swung his blades to cut down Grigol. Grigol put up sand barriers while jumping back. William continued breaking the barriers with shadow blades. Ariel noticed them fighting. Ariel had to make a decision at that time.
"Ariel, what shall we do now?" Toya worriedly said to Ariel.
"Ariel, you must take a decision this time," Arthur said to Ariel and Arthur was determined to join the fight. Ariel looked at Anna. She looked scared but did not let others notice. Ariel looked at Ronald and he looked like he would die . Toya and Arthur looked determined and excited to join the fight. Ariel made up a decision for White Eagles.
"Toya….you bring-" Ariel could not finish as he heard an explosion. There was smoke coming from the place where there was an explosion. Ariel looked at that place. He saw somebody coming out from the smoke. He couldn't recognize who it was but he definitely understood it was an enemy . It was none other than Supreme General Toffer.
Toffer had a muscular and tall body. He had armor on his body which was colored red and blue with the symbol of Victor in the middle. He had long black hair. He was walking like he could destroy the town in some moments but he was slow. He was looking down. Fire was coming out of his body and his hands were covered by water.
"Guys….I know we cannot win at this moment with our current powers but we must survive this fight. Even if we leave this city, the Zuchs will chase us. So ….fight….and survive," Ariel said with an unsure face.Ronald gulped.
"We will get out of here all together," Ronald said with a fake smile.
"Yeah…let's do it," Anna added.
''As you say King,'' Toya exclaimed.
Toffer himself marched to the battlefield. The first he countered was none other than Frederica Q Ice. As soon as Toffer came close to Frederica, he raised his head to see who was blocking his way.
"Greetings, Princess," Toffer said and kneeled on the ground.
"I am no longer the princess, General Toffer," Frederica said.
"Why princess? Why don't you accept yourself as the daughter of the King? He has given you everything you wanted and needed from your birth. But look at you now, you are 22 years old and you are carrying a sword with you, wearing armor like fighters. Look at those beautiful blonde hair of yours. You are not even taking care of them. Please princess, come back to the King," Toffer said and stood up.
"You have said enough Toffer," Frederica said and glared at Toffer with an intense face. She opened her sword. She got in her fighting position.
"Princess, please don't make me hurt you," Toffer said with a sad face. But Frederica was determined. She had to face this situation once when she left her title.
"I am no longer that clumsy princess , Toffer. So, fight against me and show me what you have got," Frederica excitedly said. Toffer sighed and raised his fires.
"I hope you change your decision after this fight," Toffer said.
"I know that you are a mixed elemental user. You can use both Fire and Water elements at the same time," Frederica said.
"So what? I will be the one who will be victorious," Toffer exclaimed.
"Don't forget there are four more kings here who can easily defeat you even if I lose," Frederica said and smirked.
"And don't forget I am a supreme general and I too have backups ready you know," Toffer exclaimed.
"Is that so? Then let's begin the fight," Frederica said and rushed to Toffer. She wanted to strike him at first and she succeeded. Toffer was hurt .
"Have you become weaker?" Frederica said to Toffer.
"I was giving you a chance," Toffer said and smirked.
"Look up," Toffer added.
"What do you mean?" Frederica said and looked up. She saw a big ball of fire and it was so close that she could not dodge it. She got hit and was slammed on the ground. But surprisingly Frederica noticed a wind wield over her body which protected her from the impact of the fire ball. Ariel joined in the fight.
