Chapter 6 - Going Home

"We finished buying everything on the list, Dad!" said Prince Heracles after exiting a shop alongside his father, Prince Lucas.

"Is that so? I guess it's time for us to go home, then. We have to be home when your master arrived at our palace to build your personal forge, after all," said Prince Lucas at the next moment.

Although he still wanted to stay, Heracles followed his father's will. He was also excited to see his personal forge getting built. With that in their mind, the two princes rode their carriage with no delay.

The journey of the two princes went without a hitch until they reached a forest area of Hilda City. Suddenly, the guard escorting them shouted with a great tone of urgency. "WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!" one guard shouted at the top of his lungs.

Upon hearing their guards, Prince Lucas suddenly stood from his seat. After bringing out his spear from his system storage, he suddenly looked toward Heracles's direction. He said to him, "Keep yourself safe here! Don't come out until I tell you otherwise!"

"Please keep yourself safe, Dad!" shouted Heracles as his father exited the carriage. "I will, son!" Prince Lucas shouted in response to his son.

At that very moment, the clash between both sides began. Heracles couldn't help but worry as he waited inside the carriage. After all, he could hear the sounds of weapons clashing with each other. He was still a child in body and mind.

"You bastards! Who commanded you to attack us, members of the Overlord family!" Prince Lucas shouted in rage as he fought against the leader of the attackers.

"You can guess in hell, Second Prince!" shouted the leader, as he began attacking even more viciously.

Upon hearing him, Prince Lucas could only think to himself, 'It seems like the mouths of these bastards will not speak! Well, it seems like it is the only thing left to do now!'

With that in his mind, Prince Lucas commanded his men, "MEN! ANNIHILATE ALL THE ENEMY! LEAVE NO ONE ALIVE!" "As you command, Sun of the Domain!" the soldier under Prince Lucas shouted in return.

They began using skills toward their enemy without any hesitation. In response, the attackers used their own skills to counter the attacks from the side of Prince Lucas.

"Fiery Essence!" Prince Lucas shouted. At the next moment, the spear of the Second Prince was suddenly enveloped with the essence of fire. Without any hesitation, he began attacking the leader of the attackers.

As he dodge the prince's advance, the leader of the attackers shouted at the top of his lungs, "Dance of the Wind!"

At that very moment, the enemy leader's speed suddenly increased explosively. Prince Lucas's attacks can't reach the enemy leader because of the swiftness of his movements.

Without any hesitation, Prince Lucas shouted at the top of his lungs, "Endless Impale!" At that very moment, he began launching stabs toward the enemy leader with an extreme speed. Despite the enemy leader's swiftness, he could not cope with the numerous stabs coming at him in brief intervals.

When he got pushed into a corner, the enemy leader shouted, "Whirling Aegis!"

At that very moment, a spinning shield of wind suddenly formed in front of him. To the prince's surprise, all of his attacks' forces are damaging him instead. To stop getting any further damage, Prince Lucas has no choice but to cancel his skill to stop getting damaged.

The enemy leader used that chance to attack the prince without any hesitation. To his surprise, Prince Lucas shouted with a smile on his face, "Supersonic Penetration!"

At the next moment, he used his spear to impale his enemy with a super speed stab. The enemy leader had no way to react, so he just shouted at that moment, "RAYMOND, FINISH OUR MISSIO-!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Prince Lucas was able to impale his heart. Although his command was cut short, the vice-leader of the group understood his last command. Without any hesitation, he began moving as he cut the soldiers of the prince that went against him.

After cutting his way through, the vice-leader reached the carriage where Prince Heracles was hiding. After he opened the door of the carriage, the vice-leader said with a nasty smile, "I finally found you, little prince! Say goodbye to your useless life!"

As the enemy attacked him, Prince Heracles only closed his eyes because he could not do anything in that situation. He could only think to himself with his eyes shut close, 'Is this how my life going to end!?'

To his surprise, he suddenly heard a familiar shout when his life was in danger. He heard a shout saying, "Justice Slash!"

He immediately opened his eyes when he felt that his life was still intact. "Are you okay, Sun of the Domain?" asked the soldiers that just saved him.

"I am unharmed! Thank you for saving me, Leonard!" Prince Heracles said with a smile on his face. "I will take my leave, then!" said Leonard to fight against the enemies remaining outside.

"Both of their leader and vice-leader have been killed! Annihilate the remaining enemy! We need to finish these bastards until no one is left!" Prince Lucas shouted as he impale all the enemies that he faced.

After the death of their leaders, some of the attackers began escaping from the battle. As the enemy's numbers diminished, Prince Lucas and his men won after wiping out the rest of them.

"WE HAVE WON!" Prince Lucas shouted after he impaled the last attacker. The soldiers under his command began cheering after fighting for a few hours.

"Clean up the battlefield! Bring the bodies of the soldiers that belong to our group! We will give them an honorable burial before we continue on our journey!" Prince Lucas shouted.

"We will do as you command, Sun of the Empire!" the soldiers shouted in response.

After giving his command, Prince Lucas immediately went to his son's side. As soon as he reached his side, he said to him with a serious expression, "Don't tell your mother everything that happened here! We will only give her more worries if we tell her!"

"I will not tell Mom about this, Dad! I promise!"
