Chereads / THE RETURN OF THE RIGHTFUL RULER / Chapter 21 - The Invaders

Chapter 21 - The Invaders

As the group progressed further into the dungeon, they entered a room which was filled with many treasures and minerals that could not be found anywhere on earth. then they saw a large black gate filled with inscriptions of a dragon which ascended to a height which was even far above that of many higher gods but was defeated and imprisoned for eternity. these inscriptions puzzled the group especially Dante. As they kept on thinking about the mysteries of this gate Sasuke felt a certain feeling of uneasiness as if they were being watched. Then suddenly he screamed everybody get down to which some of the group members where unable to react on time therefore losing their heads and dying on the spot. Who's there asked Sasuke. Some four men appeared out of nowhere as of they had been waiting for the group for ages. We are knights from the Sapphire Kingdom and we have been waiting for you, they said. The Sapphire Kingdom is the fourth most powerful and richest Kingdom in the entire world. Members of this Kingdom have a sapphire shaped gemstone on their forehead making them different from other kingdoms. There are five Kingdoms in the entire world with Avilor being the first richest and powerful Kingdom.

Sasuke: so you guys are from the Sapphire Kingdom? Then what are you doing here in Avilor?

before I answer that, let me kindly introduce myself. I am Chris and these three men with me are my Companions from Sapphire.

Chris: we heard that deep within this dungeon lies a very ancient weapon which can be used to rule over everything. That's why we came to Avilor so that we can steal this weapon and use it to kill that Immortal King and family heads of yours and rule make Sapphire the most powerful Kingdom in the world. oh and as I speak our army are on its way to your kingdom and after we steal this weapon, the that will be the end of Avilor.

The group were very shocked to hear this because if they don't stop these people here and allow them to acquire this weapon and leave the dungeon, it will be the end of not only Avilor but the entire world.

Chris: oh and before you guys try to fight us you should know this. you are never going to beat me.

Sasuke, Shinsui, Dante, Laila and the other members knew this already as they felt the huge pressure and his immense Rin power. This instantly rewrote their thought process from finding the artifact to Survival as they knew if they were to let their guard down even for a second in this battle they could die. Now with their numbers being reduced to only half, they knew their odds of winning were slim as the enemy were very experienced. Therefore the decided to let Dante, Shinsui and Sasuke take on Chris while Laila and the rest take on the remaining three.

Chris: Oh so is this your strategy for combatting us . bring it on then let me see how powerful the next generation of Avalian Knights are.

Sasuke goes into his full battle mood gear, Dante also goes into full Advanced Lightening mode gear and Shinsui also fuses with his mythical beast. Laila and the rest engage the other Three in Combat. Sasuke moves so fast that he tries to cut Chris head in one fell swoop but he is stopped by Chris with just the back of his palm. Dante and Beast mode Shinsui try to attack Chris at two fronts but before their attacks can connect Chris lets out a large burst of pure Rin Energy which sends the three of them flying. Before Dante could land, Chris appears Infront of him and hits him in the abdomen at the same speed he attacks both Shinsui and Sasuke before they could also land. The three men are severely damaged from that hit but still manage to stand up. The three of them move at the same speed and attack Chris in different time intervals. Dante creates Lightening daggers and attack Chris with it by moving at a very immense speed. Chris dodges all of Dante's attacks and blocks the last one with his hand.

Chris: your attacks are fast but you lack experience and power.

Chris begins to hit Dante at different points using various fist attacks. Dante is unable to react to any of Chris attacks and keep on getting hit with various fist attacks. Sasuke and Shinsui try to intervene but Chris uses a weakened and battered to counter all their attacks and punches them with different marital arts techniques. The three men are severely weakened after all that continuous attack.

Chris: is this all that you got. I haven't even revealed my power yet but u still haven't managed to land a scratch on my body.

Dante: Damn if only I could bring out my divine power but I can't since Is been so long since I have used it my body isn't quite used to it but this isn't the time to think about the consequences. I can't hold back anymore(screams).

Suddenly a new form of Aura and power begin to surround Dante. This Aura was filled with such harmony and peace but also seemed like a large void ready to consume everything. This power was far beyond the reach of lesser being like humans and was only accessible to higher beings like the gods, dragon, angels and Demi gods. since Dante only remembers a fraction of his power, he regained just two percent of his Divine power which made him comparable to that of a royal knight. Dante reincarnating as a human allowed him to reach a new form of Divine power by fusing the limitless potential growth of their Rin energy and his Divine Rin Energy, he grasped a brief concept of the origin of Rin energy allowing him to reach a state called enlightenment. Although Dante had reached this state, he hadn't fully manifested his power and memories limiting his Enlightenment to one percent.

Dante: after my body and Rin energy was upgraded due to the jade pool I regained a fraction of my memories and divine power. therefore I fused my divine power and the Rin power of you mortals into one allowing me to grasp the true origin of Rin energy.

Chris: What b******t are you saying. This sudden change of Aura and Rin power is abnormal. your Aura now is like that of a Royal knight but it doesn't seem this is the limit of your power. Someone as inexperienced as you shouldn't have this level of power. Just what are you?

Dante: Experience! Hmm if is about experience I have so much that you cannot comprehend. (in his thoughts)All the experience from my previous life is still installed in my brain as if they were yesterday even though I haven't recovered my memories yet. and about who I am(pauses for a while)well you could say am someone who is beyond the normal understanding and comprehension of you humans. Yo Sasuke! go with Shinsui and help out Laila and the others I can take care of this guy.

Chris: is that so we sh..

Before Chris could end his sentence he is hit with a kick from Dante which even he was unable to react to. he begins to bleed and shocked at the speed and power of Dante's attack. Sasuke and Shinsui move to help Laila and the others whiles Dante goes into a one on one showdown with Chris.

Dante: hey get up am not done yet. oh! and just so you know don't hold back or else you will die.

Chris: hahaha I know that already afterall that new Aura and form of yours proves it. Now then I guess I can't hold back anymore. Full battle mood: Astra release.

In Chris Astra form he gains two golden rings and A red scarf which covers his neck. Each Golden ring is able to cleave a mountain into two and the scarf is able to hold or capture any being depending on the user. Now then with each of the two knights entering their their new forms and battle mood, what will be the outcome of the battle between these two beings.
