As the remaining nine Highbeards saw the same reaction from one of the Three hearts of the nexus dragon that was showing similar reactions to what they did at Corvania, the heart pulsated for a few seconds, and after a while, the severed artery of the heart emitted a slime red goo substance and fell on the floor and melted the solid floor and started to spew small amounts of chaos energy as the gooey substance burrowed itself underground,
causing the ground to shake and crack, creating a deep crevice that seemed to lead to the very core of the earth. The chaotic energy emitted from the substance caused nearby trees to wither and die, and the air to become thick with a noxious gas. The gooey substance continued to burrow deeper and deeper, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. As it reached the hardest part of Crimson Mountain. it triggered a ripple effect as the larva grew fast, it was vomiting high poisonous and toxic Acid spewing out of the mouth,
In a matter of minutes, it was already now shedding its skin and nearing the adult stage the creature was Myrmecoleon Gyne but it was growing rapidly as the mutation deformed its body into a grotesque massive creature that was now as bigger as a cargo wagon within half an hour, as It used its mutated tentacles to make the nest bigger and used every crevice in the ground as a storage chamber for its eggs,
the nine were still disappointed because the ritual reacted the same way and will have the same outcome because the goo contains a certain parasitic larva of a fused hybrid animal and insect, that is named in ancient textbooks as a Myrmecoleon and from the manner it moves it was a Breeder so in a span of a few days their underground secret base that can support and hide a thousand Warriors, will now be filled with huge hungry and violent monstrous insect hybrid
at the same time, the sky turned dark as ash and smoke filled the air, and the ground shook violently as earthquakes rocked the land. It was clear that this incident had set off a chain reaction that would have catastrophic consequences for all life in the empire As the Dominion Transfer Gate was finally opening after many months
of preparation, the unexpected chaos that ensued was beyond anyone's wildest imagination. The gate, which was supposed to transport people and resources between different worlds, malfunctioned months ago and started emitting strange energy that quickly spread across the entire area.
Many of the empire's soldiers and elite knights panicked as they realized that this energy was not only forcefully opening the doorway from the other side but was also destroying buildings and infrastructure as the energy that was escaping from the other side wreaked havoc on their side,
The military was quickly deployed to contain and assess the situation, to ensure they were all prepared for whatever or whoever was forcing its way into their land because they could still accept that the Queen was still alive and that they were blinded and manipulated by many who were conspiring with the appointed Regent.
The millions of various denizens of the kingdom, both young and old, rich and poor saw and felt the sudden change in the air, as the energy surrounding the capital became thick and heavy, feeling they were in a state of uncertainty and fear. They knew that they had to be ready for any situation that might arise.
They had to prepare themselves for the possibility that someone or something was trying to invade their land. Despite the fact that the news about the Queen being alive was all orchestrated by this malevolent and powerful being,
Many of them felt that they had been deceived and manipulated by those who were working with the appointed Regent. They knew that they could not let their guard down and had to remain vigilant at all times. They were determined to protect their land and all of the lies told to them because, for a simple reason, they needed to survive as they were weak and helpless to fight those who were higher in power.
The commanders who were loyal to Duke Gilvores Dallmethad barricaded the Dominion transfer gate with anything that they could see and grab, from wooden barrels to old warehouse parts, wagons, and even cut tree logs for building houses. But because of its size of 20 feet wide and 30 feet tall, this massive magical gateway was difficult to cover,
As the 4-ton double swing gate made of pure magisterial metal was being pried open forcefully from the other side, as the loud thundering sound as it continued to pummel the gateway, all of the people around Crimson Mountain could hear it. Each pummeling sound would echo and even get amplified because of the natural rock formation.
as the sound travels across the land almost reaching the furthest house at the seaport city of Mirielis, it feels like a storm was about to occur miles away from where they are
a warning of impending danger. The people in Mirielis had heard the sound before and knew what it meant. But sadly, those travelling merchants doing transactions in their growing city also heard this as they quickly gathered their belongings and headed towards the safety of the city walls. Meanwhile, those living near Crimson Mountain were aware of the danger that was approaching. When Countess Herleva Mirielis approached the merchant and assured them there was nothing to fear,
They breathed a sigh of relief. However, rumors' continued to circulate about the mysterious dark clouds that were gathering over the mountain. The Countess had her own reasons for what was causing the disturbance, but she knew better than to share them with anyone. That sound was the beginning of her return to power, it was simple to say, but the implication was too paramount to explain,
Back at Crimson Mountain, the 4-ton metal door were getting dents as the pummeling sound became louder as somebody or thing was rapidly hitting a gate, that was known to withstand a dragon's direct attack. Many capable level 160 mages that saw this scene precast multiple attack spells, and units of archers imbue their arrows with flame enchantment and aim at the Dominion Transfer gate, as a hand pierces through the thick gate like it was tin foil and crushes the lock from the other side,
Slowly, a creaking sound could be heard as the huge gate slowly opened, and debris flew upward as a strong gust of wind from the other realm came flowing in, making the attackers lose aim. Soon after, a figure stood in front of the open gate with all her nobility and power emerged, the Marauding Queen Allatou Estrith Demiurgos herself and gave out a command to stand down, but Duke Gilvores Dallmethad gave out a loud response.
"That is not our queen; kill her now!"
The marauding Queen Allatou Estrith Demiurgos, undeterred by Duke Gilvores Dallmethad's outburst, stood her ground with an air of confidence and authority. She knew that her presence alone was enough to command respect and obedience from her subjects. However, the Duke was not easily swayed and rallied his loyal family troops to attack even before they could move. Someone burst out and with his battle mace, and defended his mother his massive energy was three times stronger than his fake so called Queen,
Queen Allatou Estrith Demiurgos saw his expression thinking how stupid and greedy her soon to be divorce husband to utter and react on that manner, it was within the prediction that Ramiel discussed.
" Sigh! I was really married to him, what a morron!"
The Duke and his army flew backwards as the man wearing black hooded armor swung his weapon with accurate and controlled force to inflict harm on all of the soldiers and hurt the elite knight's pride as they were helpless to evade any of the man's attacks, Ramiel fought with a ferocity that left the Duke's army reeling, unable to defend themselves against his onslaught. He moved with a fluid grace that belied his incredible strength, striking down soldier after soldier with ease.
The elite knights, who had once been the pride of the Duke's army, were no match for him. They could only watch in horror as their comrades fell around them, powerless to stop the man in black. As the battle raged on, it became clear that this was no ordinary warrior; he was a force to be reckoned with, a master of his craft who had honed his skills through years of training and experience. And yet, despite his fearsome reputation and deadly skill, there was something about him that spoke of a deeper purpose a reason for his relentless attack on the Duke's army. As the last of the soldiers fell wound wounded, but all were alive before him.
The elite knights were defeated as well the soldiers and spellcasters were shocked to see a high-level spell cast without speaking single enchanted spell, leaving them in awe of the mysterious figure who had just emerged victorious. The Duke himself was nowhere to be seen, having fled the battlefield in fear for his life. The victorious warrior stood tall amidst the chaos, He had fought with all his might,
relying on his skill and cunning to outmanoeuvre his opponents. As he surveyed the aftermath of the battle, he knew that this was only the beginning of a long and arduous journey. For there were many more battles to be fought, many more enemies to be vanquished, before he could claim his rightful place as the ruler of this land. But he was ready for whatever lay ahead, for he knew that his destiny, soon the thundering march could be heard as Ramiel Walk beside Her Mother,
Duke Gilvores Dallmethad could only run and escape as he already had confirmed that the person walking toward him was indeed his Wife the rightful ruler of the land, her power was oozing out her body as if she was able to recover her true power, and the person beside her was also a terrifying being, he was able to single-handedly defeat a battalion of various warriors and specialists in magic in a few minutes with a fighting skill equal to his wife,
fear creeps toward him as he used a teleportation scroll to move, as Duke Gilvores Dallmethad felt the malice and murdering intent of the Queen toward him because he knew that all his vile acts toward her people lead him to this moment. He had always been a selfish and power-hungry man, willing to do whatever it took to maintain his position of authority.
But now, as he stood in the unfamiliar surroundings of the teleportation destination, he realized that his actions had consequences beyond what he had ever imagined. As he looked around, he saw that he was in a dark and foreboding forest. The trees were twisted and gnarled, their branches reaching out like grasping hands.
The air was thick with the stench of decay and death. Duke Gilvores knew that this was not a place where he wanted to be. He tried to use another scroll to return home, but it was too late. the same man had already found him.
They emerged from the shadows, his eyes glowing with malice and hatred. Duke Gilvores knew that his fate was sealed. but his pride won't let him just to give up, seeing that the White hairs hooded man was alone maybe he can overcome this situation and assumed his power level might be a little higher than his but he has multiple artefacts on his body for extra precaution and for this kind of situation
