Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: The Destroyed Kingdom and the Kingdom of the Far South

Date: Æ1289 20, 3

Shikari Gakure Monoke Gakure and Ria Koruwe are walking in the middle of the forest with big trees around them.

"We've been here lately, me and Ria Koruwe have been here, I remember a kid fighting me and I made him unconscious because he tried to stop me, I wonder where he is now," Monoke Gakure said as he looked around.

"Shikari Gakure what would you say to the west when we reached to the heads?" Ria Koruwe asked Shikari Gakure who stayed quiet.

"I'm sure you don't know what happened Ria Koruwe but that's the traitor kingdom one of the traitors, I supposed there's more kingdom better than them," Monoke Gakure answered the question instead of Shikari Gakure answering.

"Let's run!" Shikari Gakure said as they stopped and suddenly 5 men show up in front of him.

"Shikari Gakure and Monoke Gakure what happened?" Himura Kiri said as he show up in front of him in the distance.

"We see a lot of dead bodies in the path with blood splattered on the ground, the killers are using swords," Agatsuma Hit said.

"Sheesh, so were killers now huh?" Monoke Gakure asked Agatsuma Hit who is behind him.

"What did you three do?!" Himura Kiri said as he starts walking towards Shikari Gakure.

"Rikezi is dead, he got killed by the Queen of heaven or let's say the Kingdom of traitors!" Shikari Gakure said furiously as Himura Kiri stopped walking.

"And killing is the solution? Shikari Gakure are you out of your mind?" Himura Kiri asked Shikari Gakure as he started walking again towards him.

"There traitor and working with the Darks, I fought two of the powerful Darks but I just slice them into six," Shikari Gakure answered as Himura Kiri stopped once again.

"I also believe that the Kingdom allied with the Dark mobs, they tried to kill us three but instead of killing us three they only kill Rikezi," Monoke Gakure said.

"What happened to the Kingdom?..." Himura Kiri asked as he looked at Shikari Gakure who got stained blood on his clothing.

"We destroyed the castle and I destroy the wall, we killed the soldiers who are under control by the false Queen," Ria Koruwe said.

"Who are you?!" Himura Kiri asked as Teramoto Judikishi jumps into the conversation.

"Where's Rikezi body? Don't tell me you lost him!" Teramoto Judikishi asked as he pulled out his sword.

"Calm down kid, we bury him in a peaceful place where no one will ever be able to do something to him, no one will be able to make him rise as a Dark mob or Undead because Shikari Gakure is the one who sealed his body into peace, but the area seems to be splattered with blood and dead soldiers but we can clean it now," Monoke Gakure answered as Himura Kiri makes Teramoto Judikishi calm down for a bit.

"How many people died today?" Himura Kiri asked. "More than a thousand, we fought hundreds and hundreds of knights and soldiers all night, we fought some Darks but they're not kinda a big deal," Monoke Gakure answered.

"Where's his body? How did you bury him in a small amount of time? I will kill you if I got information that you killed my friend!" Teramoto Judikishi said as Shikari Gakure quickly looks at him in the eyes and look at him menacingly.

Teramoto Judikishi slowly backed away as he sees Shikari Gakure get furious at him. "Watch your mouth kid, you don't want to speak further else we will kill you either," Monoke Gakure said as he looked at Teramoto Judikishi who suddenly sits on the ground terrified as Monoke Gakure shows his Dark Aura behind him.

"We have nothing to do with any of this, I and the other greats are gonna locate the Kingdom area and inspect the circumstances in the shadow," Agatsuma Hit said as he sees Monoke Gakure nod at him.

"Let's go!" Agatsuma Hit walks directly straight walking by past Himura Kiri and Teramoto Judikishi.

"Ria Koruwe are you available? If you are available I'm asking you to join them, we can handle this," Monoke Gakure said as he looked at Ria Koruwe on his right.

"I'll join them for just the fun and don't let them die, hehe!" Ria Koruwe said as she giggled.

Agatsuma Hit, Katrina, and Stuyuri Shi walk by past Monoke Gakure and Shikari Gakure. Ria Koruwe stayed behind the 3 Greats.

She goes to the left side of Katrina. Katrina looked to her left and sees Ria Koruwe smiling at her. They all walked 4 in a straight forward.

"Now they're gone, what happened to the Queen? I didn't know about the Kingdom's existence, it seems surprising to me," Himura Kiri said as he stand up straight.

"I killed the Queen before we leave and I let Ria Koruwe Destroy the castle, her scythe is one of the special that was built by one of the masters Kuro," Shikari Gakure said as both Himura Kiri and Teramoto Judikishi seemed so surprised.

Teramoto Judikishi sits down properly and pulled back his sword as he hears Shikari Gakure say that.

"Her scythe can lose the chain or attached the chain, it can also attach itself to the scythe, the scythe chain can belong no matter what the holder of the scythe wants, that's why he destroyed the castle, but the only one who can wield the scythe is worthy and strong, that's the needs to wield a weapon like that, that's why Ria Koruwe scythe is glowing white," Shikari Gakure said as he slowly calms down.

"They have sergeants controlling the knights, isn't that a little bit off Himura Kir?" Monoke Gakure asked as he sees the 4 in the distance walking straight.

"That seems off for me but you men's killed them all out, now my question is, are they wiped out?" Himura Kiri answered and asked as he lean-to a tree to his left.

Teramoto Judikishi sits down on the floor properly listening to them. Shikari Gakure stand up not giving any emotions and signals.

"They're not wipe out we'll I wipe out the ones who are trying to escape, some of them are sacrificing their kids just to escape, one of them throw their child in the river where I am to distract them," Monoke Gakure answered as he lowered his head down.

"What happened to the kid?" Himura Kiri asked as the conversation get a little bit off. "I let the kid live, I put him up and slaughtered his parents, I didn't show him that I kill his parents don't worry," Monoke Gakure answered.

"You just killed a child's family why would you say don't worry?" Teramoto Judikishi asked as he stands up and grabbed the sword on his right side.

Monoke Gakure quickly pulled a rope out of his pocket and in a blink of an eye he tied Teramoto Judikishi and his mouth tied up as well.

"I'm not surprised, your still the same Monoke Gakure," Himura Kiri said as he watched Monoke Gakure drag Teramoto Judikishi into another side of the tree and lean him to it.

Teramoto Judikishi is surprised as he sees himself completely tied up. "Now we're we, his hands and feet are all tied up and his mouth is tied up now let's continue talking," Monoke Gakure said as he sits down on the ground looking at Himura Kiri.

Shikari Gakure sits down and meditate. "In my information, you need a peaceful place to meditate," Himura Kiri said.

"Shikari Gakure has a powerful mind that's why he's still not losing his mind unlike mine," Monoke Gakure said as he smiles.

They see Shikari Gakure suddenly stop meditating. "What's wrong?" Monoke Gakure asked as both Monoke Gakure and Shikari Gakure becomes serious in just a second.

Himura Kiri looked around and sense danger in their surroundings. Monoke Gakure quickly stands up and goes towards Teramoto Judikishi. He removes the tie on Teramoto Judikishi.

"Stay quiet Teramoto Judikishi or we will kill you," Monoke Gakure whispers as Teramoto finally breathes modestly.

"Stay down!" Shikari Gakure said as he hold his sword and looked around.

"I sense danger what is happening?" Himura Kiri said as he looked at both Shikari Gakure and Monoke Gakure both dead serious.

Himura Kiri sits down and stayed low as he holds his sword on his left ready to pull it out. Monoke Gakure masked suddenly appeared on his face and mask him up.

"Shikari Gakure what's happening?" Himura Kiri asked as he pulled out his sword slowly and turn into a defensive position. He looked around and sees nothing.

"I only see trees around me and the wind blowing what's happening?" Himura Kiri asked again as Shikari Gakure slowly turned around on him.

"Our lives are in danger we need to get out of the area," Shikari Gakure answered. Monoke Gakure slowly walks to his right to see something in the far distance. Suddenly Shikari Gakure stands up.

"We're probably safe now, that presence is not normal," Shikari Gakure said as turn around, worrier about the Greats.

"We should get moving," Shikari Gakure said as he walks straight walking by past Himura Kiri and Teramoto Judikishi.

"Monoke Gakure let's go to his tomb you two people wanna come?" Shikari Gakure said as he stops.

"I wanna see him and... At least honor him for what has he done to our village," Himura Kiri said as he stands up. Himura Kiri looked at Teramoto Judikishi who nodded at him.

They all 3 stand up and walk with Shikari Gakure. The 3 Greats are walking with Ria Koruwe as they see the brick path in the distance and the light post broken.

"Those are part of the light post of the kingdom," Ria Koruwe said as they continued to walk.

"Let's run so we can see it already and don't take all night," Agatsuma Hit said as they all ran and Ria Koruwe suddenly lead the way.

Inside the east heads underground facility. They're still talking as the Glacians walk around the room.

"You must be mistaking something Glacians, it's a kingdom it's supposed to have a king," Professor Dinger said.

"Yes but I know they have a king and, their king is controlling the councilors in his hands, I believe the kingdom I know is one of the royals," Glacian 1 said.

"So they will be visiting tonight, Generals ready the army just in case, get ready in case something happen we will help them, is that clear?!" Shimodo Rou said.

"Sir! Yes! Sir!" Every general said. "You all can leave now we're gonna talk for a minute," Shimodo Rou said as he nods.

The Generals 1by1 leave the room as the Glacians replace them and sit down on the chair.

"I have a question for you both! What do you know both about the Dimensional Realm?" Shimodo Rou asked as Professor Dinger sits down on his chair.

"The dimensional realms are still existing through ages, I believe Kuro is one of the existing but there's no confirmation, Kuro is one of the Legends who stops one of the Dark gods and sacrifices himself and never seen at least his body," Glacian 2 said.

"So is it confirmed that the Dimensional Realm exists?" Shimodo Rou asked as Professor gets curious.

"Yes! They've been here before the Æ starts before the Æ starts and the other starts," Glacian 2 answered as they both become quiet.

"I will deploy one of my swordsmen in one of the Realms, do you know we're one of the realms?" Shimodo Rou asked as he stand up and becomes serious.

"I do!" Glacian 2 and 1 said as they both talk even much more as the time goes on. Senn and Leo are in the restaurant finished eating their noodles.

"This is great I'm full thanks, Leo," Senn said as he burps and smile at Leo. "I will not be able to afford this many noodles next time Senn I'm broke," Leo said as he paid the guy who is the waiter of the restaurant.

"Come on Senn stand up, we need to go back to the capital right away," Leo said as he stands up. Senn slowly stands up and walks outside the restaurant.

They walk towards the capital. "It's been a long time since I see many people here," Leo said to Senn as they both see many people walking in different places.

They continued to walk. In the Dark Dimension. Shin is getting awake slowly but an unknown Dark starts doing something and makes him fall asleep again.

Another swordsman in one of the tanks suddenly corrupted making green water inside the tanks. The Dark suddenly turned it into dust and vanished.

An unknown portal suddenly appeared and more swordsman comes in dead and some of them are unconscious and losing hands.

In the far south. Gakushin Gakure is watching the unknown kingdom from a far distance in a mountain.

Suddenly Miki appeared behind him. "You find a Kingdom we're even is this," Miki said as he surprised Gakushin Gakure. Let's go back to the ship tell the others let's move.

Gakushin Gakure and Miki quickly go back to the Ship. They see the others standing and lying on the ground.

"Trixie! We see a Kingdom in the far distance, Gakushin Gakure manages to find it," Miki said as he stops.

"That's good right?" Trixie said as she stands up. "I think so yes!" Gakushin Gakure answered as he looked behind him.

"Someone is coming, be alert, they don't know about it yet, it would possibly be a great problem if they know our position," Gakushin Gakure said.

"I'll deploy a bird over there to see what kind of kingdom is it," Miki said as he sits down and perform magical magic on the ground.

His hands started glowing on his hands and a bird started being friendly at him. The bird flies away. "That's the bird, we can wait for now or get a little closer in the kingdom," Miki said as he looked at the bird in the far distance flying.

"We should put in our hoods when we get there, I see so many soldiers and bodyguards in the kingdom when I was in the mountain, we should wait for now," Gakushin Gakure said.

The bird flew in the sky showing gigantic walls of the kingdom and the great gate. The bird flies inside the castle seeing many people and foods getting carried over by the people. Guards guarding every section of the castle.

Inside the Castle. The bird flies into a window seeing the king and some of his guards talking to him. Suddenly there's a man who walks inside who is holding a big sword on his back.

He kneels in front of the king reporting something to the king. 3 more men's come in. As they come in they bowed and kneel with the man who have a big sword on his back. The 3 of them kneel in front of the man.

The bird flies away noticing the man and the other 3. It goes back towards Gakushin Gakure and Miki.

After a couple of minutes, the bird finally reached them. The bird landed on their shoulder Miki surprising him.

"Oh! Oh!" Miki said as the bird landed on his shoulder. The bird's chirp chirp saying something to him.

"What is he saying?" Trixie asked as she walks towards Miki. "He said that there's four men's inside the castle with the throne of the king kneeling in front of him," Miki said as he fly the bird up making it free.

"What is the complete info, Miki?" Gakushin Gakure asked as he looked behind him. "He said that the Kingdom has gigantic walls but we have nothing to do with that, he said that these men's is specials, they're carrying unknown weapons that we've never seen before," Miki answered as Gakushin Gakure becomes curious even more.

"I will go to the Kingdom alone don't ever try to follow me you will die if you follow me, I'll make sure I won't get caught," Gakushin Gakure said as he turns around put on his hood, and walk towards the crown shyness forest.

"There kingdom is quite interesting, their trees are the one who is called crown shyness tree's that's in our books in the village," Miki said as he watches Gakushin Gakure vanishes.

"We should watch him from the far distance, for now, I'll deploy another bird to watch over him," Miki said as he sits down on the ground again.

"I'm going to watch him either from far, take the lead Miki," Trixie said. "Hold on in a second I need to be ready my birds," Miki said as he successfully summoned 3 birds.

"Now let's go I lead you to the way, the rest stay here," Miki said as he stands up and quickly walk towards the forest.

Gakushin Gakure is on the cliff seeing the Kingdom from a far distance. He jumps down on the cliff making him fall faster.

After a couple of minutes, Gakushin Gakure reaches the ground, and Miki and Trixie are on top of the cliff waving at him. Gakushin Gakure looked up and wave at them both.

"So we're gonna watch him from the top here, that sounds pretty awesome," Trixie said as she sees Gakushin Gakure start walking.

"We will leave Gakushin Gakure alone, for now, he can handle himself by I wonder what kind of people we were gonna be fighting against just in case," Miki said as Trixie punches him in the head.

Inside the Kingdom, the king is talking to his people and soldiers who are kneeling in front of him. The King is sitting on his throne as he talks to the guy who is wearing special armor and a dagger that is on his back sideways and glowing blue color.

The 4 men stand up and bowed to the king as they leave calmly. The 4 men go outside in a path in the castle going down. They started walking.

Gakushin Gakure is walking towards the kingdom and seeing some people and a cropland and field farming, he sees many people with some soldiers guarding them.

They see Gakushin Gakure but the guards ignored him and they continued to talk to each other. Gakushin Gakure quickly walks so the guards don't go towards him.
