Chapter 194 - Chapter 194

The Castle throne room was located on the third floor, with a single long 15-meter hallway corridor leading to it. The 20-foot ceiling corridor is decorated with a dozen chandeliers with interval spacing until reaching the main 15-foot double swing door that opens to the grandeur of the throne room. The room is enormous, with marble floors and walls covered with exquisite tapestries illustrating the kingdom's history. The throne itself is a colossal gold edifice adorned with exquisite stones. and was elevated higher with a huge twenty-step staircase heading toward it. Two towering images of a black and white Gehanna fiend wolf could be seen on each side of the Crimson throne, a symbol of the kingdom's strength and ferocity, reminding all who enter that they are in the presence of greatness.

The Throne's receiving floor area was large enough to host a hundred guests, which included the thirty-ten-foot-tall elite magical stone golem knights on standby, who were perfectly lined up behind each stone pillar that upheld the fifty-foot ceiling.

The head War chancellor Tharkeroth Dallmethad just laughed and asked the Queen to step down from her throne and just admit she no longer held any power to stop them from taking over, as he took out huge Mandibles that were fashioned to become a war trumpet and mentioned that with this simple item, he can awaken the summoned creatures hibernating under the crimson mountain range.

The Queen, however, remained calm and composed as she looked at Tharkeroth with piercing eyes. She stood up from her throne and walked towards Tharkeroth,

"You underestimate the power of my son, comrade," she said firmly. "We have faced greater threats than you and emerged victorious every time." Tharkeroth's expression turned sour as he realized that the Queen was not going to back down easily.

A sudden burst of energy erupted from the Queen's body, enveloping the entire hall in a blinding light. When the light faded away, Governess Alavara Raegel rushed with a weapon in hand and appeared beside Queen Allatou Estrith.

She swung her scissor daggers near her leg to incapacitate her and write an explosive attack spell on the same ground she was standing on, but something blocked the opened scissor dagger right at the very inner pivot blade, and a powerful stomping force cancelled the explosive enchantment writing, and he was also in a crouching position, delivering a liver punch blow to her side.

Ramiel was now under attack Stance, as Alavara Raegel plough the ground a few inches deep and smash the marble tile, breaking it into pieces, The force made her roll on the shattered ground in pain, but she still managed to counter by blocking her right side with her arm to absorb the impact of his hook punch toward her right side.

with a broken arm, she painfully took out a healing potion and instantly drank it,

Ramiel quickly move from his position to stop the attempt over his mother's life, including the explosive enchantment writing and just launched a series of rapid jabs towards Alavara's exposed, defenceless and still-healing body.

She expertly dodged each blow, but Ramiel was relentless in his attack. He followed up with a swift kick to her knee, causing her to buckle and lose her balance. Taking advantage of the situation, Ramiel lunged forward with a spinning back fist that landed squarely on Alavara's jaw. The impact sent her reeling backwards.

but she managed to regain her footing just in time to avoid another attack from Ramiel. The two combatants circled each other warily, both looking for an opening to strike. Suddenly, Ramiel charged forward with a powerful thrust kick that caught Alavara off guard and sent her flying backwards into a nearby wall. Despite the pain coursing through her body,

Alavara refused to give up. She sprang back into action and launched a flurry of combination sword attacks and close-quarter punches, but Ramiel evaded them all and was able to counter and slip in a few heavy punches and mace stabs, slowly demolishing the wall behind her when an incoming strike made Ramiel bend backwards and leave his target to gain an opening to recover, while Guild Master Galhad Malion continuously swung his large lightning claymore sword in a circular motion going up and down, adding the destructive force,

the centrifugal force of Master Galhad Malion was slicing the marble floor and the stone pillars as he move in a circular pattern Ramiel avoided the sword strikes with a combination of moves: leap, twist, turn, crouch, forward roll, a cartwheel-style manoeuvre that involves a half-rotation with rapid changes to used his free hand to a handspring while deflecting the enemy's sword, and used his legs to force his body to turn and twist while he use his mace to strike upward and combined Aerial knee kick to knock the enemy off balance. The battle was intense,

with both fighters pushing themselves to their limits. Galhad Malion was a formidable opponent, but Ramiel was determined to emerge victorious. As the fight continued, Ramiel began to gain the upper hand, using his agility and quick reflexes to dodge Galhad's attacks and land powerful blows of his own. With each strike,

he felt his confidence grow until finally he saw an opening and struck with all his might. The force of the blow sent Galhad flying across the room, crashing into a nearby wall with a resounding thud. Ramiel stood panting, his heart racing with adrenaline as he surveyed, Galhad stood up and ran toward Ramiel with his claymore sword and just jumps above his head and swung downward with such force the marble floor just imploded downward and shattered everything and created a small five-foot wide crater,

at the same moment, Alavara Raegel joined the offensive attack and coordinated her attack with Galhad Malion and pushed Ramiel back thinking this was his downfall, With each swing from Galhad sword, Alavara would stab him but Ramiel would just deflect it with the chain that was his secondary arsenal, each flick of his hand or arm the chain whip would change direction and flick toward the enemy with ease,

The chain snapping on their bodies was unpredictable and hard to avoid, so the two stared at each other and decided to increase their speed and overwhelm him with an attack spell while getting slashed in all directions,

Meanwhile, War Councillor Tharkeroth Dallmethad just stood there and watched his two associates kill her son, but the queen just turned around and walked back up to her throne, smiled, and mentioned that he was not even using half of his power and ability. The War Councillor's expression remained stoic as he contemplated the queen's words. With a flick of his wrist, the chain whip hit Galhad Malion head, while Ramiel held the mace downward to stop the slash toward his side and gave Alavara a calf kick on the neck,

followed up with a downward punch as he twirled the chain to Galhad arm, as he brushes his face after getting hit in the head, the chain wraps around his exposed arm, and used the force and potion himself as a pivot to throw Galhad on top of Alavara as Ramiel pummels them both with his mace with a rapid circular rotating downward strike,

sending them sprawling on the ground and kicking them both upward toward Tharkeroth Dallmethad's direction, as they landed, As they struggled to get back on their feet, Ramiel took a step back and assessed the situation. He could see that they were both injured and disoriented, but still determined to fight. With a deep breath, Ramiel readied himself for the next round of combat.

Alavara was furious and just dashed toward Ramiel with another weapon, this time a familiar and unpractical melee combat weapon. It was a gun blade, and from the design, it was a burst cannon type. Ramiel knew he had to be careful, as the gun blade was a deadly weapon in the hands of a skilled fighter. He quickly assessed his own options and decided to try to disarm Alavara before she could use it against him. As she closed in, Ramiel dodged to the side and grabbed hold of the gun blade's barrel, twisting it out of her grip. Alavara stumbled backwards, momentarily disarmed and vulnerable. Ramiel seized the opportunity and struck her with a swift kick to the chest, sending her flying backwards into the far corner of the chamber,

As she struggled to get back up, Ramiel moved in for the finishing blow. With one quick strike from her own weapon, but it was a trap, she let him disarm her and knew he would use the weapon against her. As he shot her in the face, it exploded; and detonated in his hand. The blast was strong enough to shake the foundation of the throne room,

Tharkeroth Dallmetha was delighted and complimented his fellow warriors when Queen Allatou Estrith Demiurgos spoke, "Better defend. yourselves!" The room erupted into chaos as the Queen's words were heard. The remaining warriors near the war councillor Tharkeroth Dallmethad, all quickly scrambled to surround the area, pointing their weapons at the smoke. At the huge explosion that occurred, they trembled in fear as massive overflowing energy

With a glance around the huge throne room, as the smoke and dust settled, the man was unharmed but upset to the point he wasn't able to hold his annoyance at his killing intent, which soon made the rest of the knights, following the war councillor Tharkeroth Dallmethad, feel fear for the first time. Burgrave Alavara Raegel and Guild Master Galhad Malion stood up and just drank a healing potion. and was thrilled to see that their enemy was taking it seriously.

"Arrogance can surely escalate the situation even further!"

As Ramiel stepped out of the debris of dust and smoke, he was covered in a thin barrier of skin, War councillor Tharkeroth Dallmethad held the horn in his hand and just suddenly blew on it twice, and right after crushing it with his bare hands,

"Let's see if you can still stop our lovely pets from destroying your precious land and save all of the inhabitants living in your cities and faraway towns,"

"Have you forgotten that's already pets sunrise and the 5 battalions have already marched out toward the other cities,"

"All of their death will be on your hands, my Queen!"

"take your throne and your kingdom, I shall just build a new our on top of everybody's corpses,"

"and by now all of the factions who believe in our cause are gathering outside the castle walls with all of their forces just to kill you,"

When a frantic soldier enters the throne room and delivers a piece of bad news to War councillor Tharkeroth Dallmethad that there was no reply to his summon toward the other groups to support them, even the criminal syndicates were not showing up. Tharkeroth's heart sank as he realized the gravity of the situation. Without the support of the other groups, their chances of winning this war were slim to none. His only chance is the destruction that the millions of Antlion creatures shall create as is waking up to feed,

The land trembles as millions of antlions (4 meters evolve hungry larvae running amock under the ground, beneath tons of solid, carve-out interconnected tunnel bedrock, their insatiable hunger and destructive capabilities are now spreading in every part of the land,

"'Do you sense that Queen, that vibration is the evolved antlion larva waking up to feed, so what are going to do about it?"

Queen Allatou Estrith Demiurgos instantly vanish from where she was sitting and stood in front of Tharkeroth Dallmethad and gave him a powerful jab in the solar plexus , as he flew pierce through the east throne room chamber wall and punctured the third-floor room wall and landed directly at the royal Pleasaunce and obliterated the garden infrastructure as he landed face down first and created a massive crater with a huge open crevice in the ground,

"here is my response to your question,"

Tharkeroth Dallmethad lifted his face and slowly stood up, and spoke to the queen , as she was lready on the area where he landed on and said,

"I will bury you and your son's corpse here on this very hole I landed on!"

"I doubt that !"

"your two accomplices have no idea who they are messing with!"

"My son hasn't even started yet,"
