Chapter 3.
"Claudio!"
Contessa screamed hysterically and at that very moment, anger bubbled inside her stomach. She could no longer hold back after watched the king being defeated. With all her strength, she ran toward Luciano without even thought about her own safety.
"Big sister!" Dame Elina screamed, calling out to the queen from afar. She did not take any action and only watched as the queen approached her enemy recklessly.
On the other hand, the king Claudio tried to stand between his feet and put a fight even though he had no strength left in him.
The queen Contessa's rounded. At the same time a beam of purple light started to come out of her right hand and formed into a sword.
"Oh, so you choose violence, huh? Not bad." Luciano commented while rubbing his chin. He let out a grin, stretching across his face. His eyes fixed on the queen Contessa who was a few meters away from him.
"Take this, Luciano!"
The queen Contessa swing her sword and transferred all her power to her sword and as a result, now the purple beam of light turned into black just like a night sky without a star.
Luciano put a fight stance without even moved from his position. When the queen Contessa was right in front of him, she quickly swing her sword to his chest. In spite of the great power she managed to muster, Luciano could still dodge her attack only by snapping his fingers.
The wave of black light that intended to hurt him had vanished in an instant. It dissipated into the wind like nothing happen. The queen Contessa's eyes were wide open and was so shocked to know that her attack did not work on him. Her power was usually able to hurt hundreds of people in one sweep but it seemed not to be the case here because her attack just now was mere a play for Luciano,
The sword which radiated a black light now turned into ordinary sword. Its power was gone along with the queen's strength. All her power had nothing left in her.
And now it was Luciano's turn to take action. His right hand lifted up mid air causing the queen Contessa's body to fly in the air. Even though the distant between the two were few meters away from each other, Luciano was still able to control Contessa.
Luciano let out his laugh out loud as he watched the queen Contessa slowly unconscious.
"My dear!" the king Claudio called out.
He was the only one who reacted when that happened. He could no longer tolerate his brother's brutality. With only little strength he had, the king Claudio intended to charge forth and attack him.
In a nick of time, he transformed into a wolves. its fur was as white as snow and its eyes were blue. The transform wolves-Claudio growled out loud that the sound reached outside of the palace.
Luciano watched as the king transformed while Lars who was still in his arm kept crying out loud. Despite the noise that Lars made, Luciano did not intent to stop him from crying. By using his telekinesis, he made the queen float in the air and showed her to the king. It was quite amusing for him that he laughed out loud after he did it.
At the corner of the room, Dima Elina could only watch what was happening from the distant and could not able to do anything in her power to defend her loved ones. Her fragile body was too afraid to take crazy action. She thought that even if she put a fight just like others she would not change anything because she knew she would not stand a chance against him. To her, fighting Luciano was the same as walking to the death's door.
The loud growl from the king Claudio who had turned into wolves now did not even break Luciano's concentration at all.
"Come to me if you want Lars live!" Luciano taunted the king with an intimidated tone.
Claudio ran so fast, his claws were so sharp and his eyes were so deadly. He was ready to tear apart his opponent's body.
Luciano took a fighting stance and stepped back slightly as he was about to fight with the king who had transformed into wolves. He managed to dodge every attack from those sharp claws.
"Don't tell me this is the only thing you've got, my brother? Where is the power you always so proud to show off that made the people of Cloud Armor bend their knee?"
Luciano sarcastically threw his question with loud voice and sinister look on his eyes. Then the moment later, he let out a laugh when knew the king wouldn't stand a chance against him.
Even if his attack failed for numerous times, the king Claudio did not give up and intended to strike again. The only thing occupied his head right now was Lars who was still in the enemy's hand. He moved his eyes to left and right as he thought about his plan to snatch back Lars from Luciano without had to make his son suffer in the process.
It was rather difficult, especially when he was in weak condition now. Even if the king Claudio was in prime condition he still wouldn't able to claim his victory against the power that Luciano muster now. He lost in thought, trying to accumulate the possibility of his chance to win until a loud voice interrupted him and woke him up from his daze.
"Why did you keep your mouth shut the whole time, my brother? Tell me my brother, what are you thinking? Just admit your defeat and hand over the Cloud Armor to me in return I will give Lars back to you. What do you think about it? It's not a bad offer, right my nephew?"
Luciano spoke with an intone as he lowered his head to face the little Lars in his arms. Even with all the commotion that happened, the baby did not flinch and not even show a sign of dislike toward him.
Seeing the enemy let his guard down a bit, the king in wolves form used this chance to strike him and yet, to his surprise his sharp claws could not touch Luciano's skin. Instead he was the one who got hurt and was thrown several meters away before finally hitting the thick walls of the palace.
"My lord! Someone shouted out loud from afar when he saw the king Claudio hit the wall and crouched to the ground. He wore gold armor and had a sturdy build with height of 6.3 feet. His silver hair swayed as the wind blew near him.
Not long after he appeared, the man suddenly vanished into thin air. By using his teleportation ability he intended to take Lars away from Luciano.
For a moment, Luciano could sense the presence of the man who was invisible to him. However he was unable to read the man's movement. By the time he lose his concentration, suddenly a light of gold took a form in the air.
When that happened, an intense punch landed right on Luciano's chest forcing him to take several steps back and at the same time, the man with gold armor reappeared in front of Luciano and quickly snatched Lars from his arms.
Luciano tried to take Lars back but he was too slow compared to man's teleportation's ability.
"Damn you Baron Magnus! I won't let you take Lars from me!"
Anger took control over Luciano when he stated these words and it clearly shown by his eyes that suddenly wide open. He let his guard off by letting Lars live this whole time. He realized he had wasted his time dealing with the king Claudio awhile ago and regretted that he did not kill lars sooner.
"Just you wait, I'll definitely come for you, Baron Magnus. You can't get away with this. Lars will be mine."
Luciano spoke with sharp tone while glaring at the place where the man suddenly disappeared. He clenched his fist tightly and at the same moment, the queen Contessa's body shattered in pieces. Feeling unsatisfied, he then vented his anger again to the king Claudio who had lost his life.
As of now, the Cloud Armor was no longer rule by Conte Claudio Di Nosferas. He was eliminated by Luciano Di Nosferas who none other than his own brother. Meanwhile the man with gold armor managed to run away from the Cloud Armor castle with an injury on his chest. He was punched by Luciano when he tried to take Lars away from him. A fresh of blood came out of his mouth and his power was also weakened.
In attempt to keep him safe from the chasing by Luciano, the man who named Baron Magnus Af Dracas took Lars to the middle of Eternal Forest. It was a place that could not be found by ordinary people. Only those from Miracle clan were allowed to enter the forest and Baron was one of them. He was certain that Luciano would not be able to go far to the Eternal Forest.
Baron Magnus took a rest under a tree who had ben there for thousand years. He carried Lars carefully. Fortunately the baby was so calm as he was in Baron Magnus's arms.
"Let me take a rest for now. You will be safe with me. Trust me, I won't let you fall into Luciano's hand again."
While still catching his breath, Baron Magnus tried to heal himself. An intense punch thrown by Luciano to his left chest caused him to lose his power.
Lars stared at the man who carried him. The little boy did not even feel anxious. Somehow he knew that Baron Magnus was not the enemy but protector of Cloud Armor.
"My dear!"
