Chapter 196 - Chapter 196

As the hot steam slowly cleared away, the knights and remaining Guild members, and even Alavara Raegel and Guild leader Galhad Malion, were aware of the situation. Witnessing the massive energy blast that disintegrated the two-headed crypt Oger and turned all of its summoned undead to ash, most of them felt relieved that the barrier cast on them was still active because, without it, they would be unconscious or dead from the extreme heat. Their surroundings were converted; the marble and stone pavement flooring, including some pillars, were melted and were still emitting a warm glow.

and facing this massive destruction was their confirmed prince and son of Queen Allatou Estrith Demiurgos. This was within their initiated plan, as Ramiel intended to openly display his power to the public because, in this realm where power is absolute and authority is based on the amount of mana energy a person can produce and control,

The display of destructive force was intended to carve fear and awe in the hearts of his enemies, cementing his dominance over them, and Ramiel was determined to establish his mother's supreme authority as the supreme ruler. Even though many of the tapestries were in flames and some of the gold ornaments were melting, he stood there unaffected by the heat. He stood and watched the royal capital, even seeing his mother still beating the living daylights out of Tharkeroth Dallmethad with half of the throne room blown apart.

Ramiel watches as the thundering punches echo throughout the palace garden, as his mother counters every strike that the transformed Tharkeroth are releasing toward the queen. Among the barrage of attacks he gave the queen, she managed to counter seventy per cent. Ramiel could see that even while in this state of battle frenzy, his mother still engaged in a casual inquiry on the reason his group was doing this to her kingdom.

Tharkeroth's ego was determined to subdue the queen's fighting ferocity and knew that she was naturally gifted in all manners of warfare, being the youngest daughter of the house of Demiurgos, known for their exceptional combat skills. However, Tharkeroth was relentless in his pursuit of dominance and had no intention of letting her heritage stand in his way. As the battle raged on, Ramiel could see the queen's unwavering determination to protect her kingdom, even as her forces dwindled.

Her strategic manoeuvres and swift counterattacks were a testament to her years of training and experience. Despite the overwhelming odds, she fought with grace and precision, never wavering in her resolve. Ramiel couldn't help but feel a mix of admiration and concern for his mother, knowing that she was risking everything for the sake of their people.

Ramiel knew that he was cheating, and his mother's casual glance assured him that she will never be defeated the same way again. Amid the chaos of the battlefield, Tharkeroth's mana was still high and continued to fuel him, but she didn't care. She focused solely on her opponent, anticipating his every move and countering with swift and calculated strikes.

Her sword danced through the air, a blur of steel and determination. Ramiel watched in awe as his mother effortlessly parried Tharkeroth's punching attacks, her skill surpassing anything he had ever witnessed before. It was as if she had tapped into a wellspring of power that went beyond mere physicality.

As the battle raged on, Ramiel could see the toll it was taking on his mother. Sweat dripped down her brow, and her breathing grew heavier with each passing moment. But still, she fought on, refusing to back down. The weight of their people's future rested on her shoulders, and she would not let them down.

With each clash of their weapons, sparks flew and echoed through the battlefield. The ground beneath them trembled from the force of their blows. Ramiel could feel the intensity in the air, a palpable energy that crackled sparks of metal and energy could be seen as Ramiel watch from a distance preparing for any unexpected situation to happen,

as soon as the throne room became safe, he snap his fingers without moving his sight at the ongoing battle the knights that acknowledged him to be the queen's son kneel behind him and politely address him, Ramiel spoke and apologies if he could not face them as he explained that below him was their queen fighting to secure their future, the knight commander understood and gave out orders to secure the palance grown and send out a message to the five battalion field commander to stand down from their current mission and await further order,

Ramiel orders the dark forge to return to their guild as their leader and the governess Alavara Raegel will stand trial, and he assures them he will be fair in bringing justice and will pass down punishment based on their leader's unsubstantiated so-called criminal activity, taking into account all the evidence presented. The dark forge members, although sceptical, reluctantly agreed to comply with Ramiel's orders.

A few elite knights stood guard, and the palace guard commander gathered those who were loyal to the queen and stationed themselves near the palace garden to ensure that the area was undisturbed and protected from outside interference.

As the Dark Forge and the governess guards made their way back to the separate domain, a sense of unease lingered in the air. Ramiel's promise of fairness seemed hollow, and doubts about their leader's innocence began to surface. The ground was still trembling as they were escorted by the palace knights. The knight's actions changed as soon as their true queen came back alive; no shapeshifter or fake individual could make the Crimson Emerald on the throne light up.

that was connected to another huge crystal on top of the place's highest point, as it continuously shined as a direct reaction coming from the throne itself, as millions of the royal capital saw this and sheered that their true ruler was back and not dead.

The queen's return brought a sense of relief and hope to the people, who had feared the worst during her absence. As more people rush out to see if the thundering sound and surges of energy were their queen's doing, as she was known to always personally take part in giving punishment toward those who had done criminal acts on her land, and the vast majority knew and had suspicions about whom she was fighting now,

As they flocked near the place where the sounds of battle were happening, they were met with a scene of destruction and chaos. Buildings lay in ruins, their once vibrant facades now reduced to rubble. A large crater was seen, and the beautiful, lush flowers and trees in that garden were turned to ash and dust. The 3-hectare palace garden was now the sight of a battleground.

The air was thick with smoke and the stench of burning debris. The entire wall that was protecting the garden area was no longer there; luckily, the battle started the moment the sun rose, and most of the inhabitants of the city were just starting to wake up and realize that drastic changes just happened when they were all asleep.

As more various residents from all races and types gathered around the outer demolished garden wall, an open area that most people daily used as a gathering spot to receive imperial news was now filled with thousands of onlookers, merchants, different guild associations, nobles, aristocrats, and residents from all manner of walks of life. They were all shocked to see the devastation that just occurred under their noses, and some saw traces of spell scrolls all over the place. indicating the queen and her followers were truly dedicated and making sure that no innocent civilian would not get hurt between son, their battles, as she retook the throne, a huge part of a fallen wall could be seen facing the multitudes of witnesses all around the capital now saw and truly confirmed as

Their queen stood tall amidst the wreckage, her armour gleaming in the sunlight. Her loyal knight's soldiers surrounded her, their expressions a mix of exhaustion and determination. It was clear that a fierce battle had taken place, but the enemy seemed to have vanished without a trace. What was left was the enemy's right arm lying on the floor, still wearing its broken war gauntlet.

As the people gathered around their queen, whispers of gratitude and admiration filled the air. They knew that her return marked a turning point in their struggle for peace and justice. With renewed hope in their hearts, they vowed to rebuild their shattered city and stand united against any future threats. The queen's presence alone was enough to inspire them to persevere, for they knew that as long as she led them, they would never be defeated.

Ramiel came down from the Throne room and met with his mother as the knights gave way to the prince. He could see the pride and relief in her eyes as she embraced him, grateful for his safe return. Ramiel had grown into a strong and capable leader, ready to support his mother in their shared mission to rebuild and protect their kingdom. The people looked at him and understood he was her son. With the hope that they all kneeled and greeted the Queen and her son the prince

knowing that he possessed the same determination and resilience as his mother. Together, they would work tirelessly to heal the wounds of war and restore prosperity to their beloved city. As Ramiel took his place by his mother's side, they shared a silent understanding that their journey was far from over.

But with their unwavering resolve and the support of their loyal subjects, they were confident that they would overcome any challenges that lay ahead.

Queen Allatou Estrith Demiurgos release her power as a symbol of her authority and power and introduces his son as the Warmage Monarch Ramiel Sinclair Demiurgos of Arcane and the rightful heir of the entire land,

Ramiel stepped forward and also released his power, but unlike his mother, who was a bit tired, he was in top form and gave out a thunderous roar as his energy surged upward and created a pillar of energy that flew upward into the sky as a symbol and signal that the first mission had been accomplished.

As residents of Ivlares and Avarel City, including the seaport town of Mirielis, saw this pillar of light, they were filled with awe and wonder. The news quickly spread throughout the kingdom, reaching even the distant villages nestled among the mountains. People gathered in the town squares, discussing the significance of this extraordinary event. Some believed it to be a sign of prosperity and good fortune, while others saw it as a harbinger of great change. The pillar of energy continued to soar higher and higher, illuminating the sky with its radiant glow.

It seemed to pulsate with an otherworldly power, captivating all who laid eyes upon it. Whispers of ancient prophecies and legends began to circulate, as people speculated about the origin and purpose of this magnificent display. But as soon as the light faded,

Ivlares, Avarel City, including the seaport town of Mirielis, the governing lords officially declare widespread calamity, as all guilds have already verified the calamity as the mutated antlion attacks in nearby small villages and towns. The death toll was in the hundreds of Antlion larvae and was continuously growing, as civilian deaths were unbelievably low.

As news of the impending calamity spread, the kingdom of Arcane was the first to take action on that very day , and offered its support, sending reinforcements and supplies to aid in the fight against the formidable antlions. The atmosphere was tense as everyone prepared for what would undoubtedly be a gruelling and dangerous confrontation. The fate of every living being hung in the balance, but its people remained resolute in their determination to protect their home and restore peace to their land.

The governing nobles who were allied with Arcane quickly dispatched the assembled task force, consisting of skilled warriors, mages, and healers, to combat the antlion menace, and they were paid handsomely with every kill. They devised a strategy to lure the mutated creatures away from populated areas and into a trap set deep within the treacherous forests surrounding Ivlares. The townspeople were urged to evacuate,

with the vast network of the Symbiote Homunculus military force spread evenly to cover all the possible exit and entrance points of the Antlion Ness many independent warriors and guild teams were able to build a certain comradery and respect with the Warmage king forces,

Ramiel's personality and character were now known in the entire Royal Capital as the news of the Antlion attack spread and the prevention plan that Ramiel created to ensure everybody would be safe everyone who heard this felt a certain degree of amazement and loyalty toward the Warmage King.

as Arcane became the second seat of power where the Queen son, the prince establish his own domain and created a place whos a prime example of what unity can bring, days and a month went by the extermination of the Antlion was still ongoing reports were still coming in from different locations, but now the great treat was no longer considered as a fatal unlike a few months ago,

as Homunculus Imperial Physician Omicron had developed the potion in combating the poisonous effects of the mutated Antlions' blood and saliva, while Hellmage Echo created a specific enchantment scroll to immobilize a Mutated vicious larva for two minutes, enough time to kill it without major loss and death. and many devices from Lady Laerdya Galadhiel and the great forger Muldrulir clan created a huge significant change the Guild and other warrior's way manner and thinking in conducting any given mission,

but the Antlions massive number can be a problem if approached nonchalantly by a rookie hunter and just enter the hunt and eradication with an arrogance mindset, a level 100 can easily kill a 4 meter antlion larva single handedly, but facing one alone never happen so even with all of the technological military advancement coming from various individuals hunting a Antlion mush still be conducted with the utmost diligence and preparation on the guild party,

and because of the creatures large number and practical and useful resources of the insects body parts hunting antlion larva is now a lucrative job, because the creatures blood has been discovered to be the main ingredient in making hyaluronic, Sulfuric, Nitric and lastly Acetylsalicylic acid,

so the hunt still continue all over the land except the forsaken land to whom the kingdom of Arcane stands,

at the same time, the Royal capital of Sheol regain its pride and glory as hundreds of corrupt individuals just vanished without a trace that day, some were brought to trial and gain their deserve punishment, while some were given the opportunity to change because they were found to be innocent of killing an innocent based on greed and personal interest, like the Guild leader of the Dark Forge who was acquitted because he was found innocent with the help of Homunculus Imperial Inspector Delta who initiated the investigation,

and with the help of Homunculus Imperial Judge Enigma's final ruling law and order once again ruled and justice was given to everyone under the Demiurgos insignia , regardless of their status or background. The Homunculus Imperial Judge Enigma's final ruling brought about a wave of relief and renewed faith in the justice system.

People felt reassured that their grievances would be heard and resolved fairly. With this landmark decision, society witnessed a significant shift towards a more equitable and inclusive legal framework. The ruling not only upheld the principles of law and order but also emphasized the importance of equality and impartiality. It served as a powerful reminder that justice should be blind, free from any biases or prejudices.

as everybody saw and witnessed Duke Gilvores Dallmethad, the queen's own husband was found guilty and was stripped of all his title and authority as a duke and sentenced to a lifetime of hard labor in the coal mines with all of the crimes he committed and was found guilty with based on all the evidence and testimonies from the surviving victims,

As a result, individuals who had long been marginalized or oppressed finally found solace in knowing that their voices mattered and that they would receive the justice they deserved. This groundbreaking ruling marked a turning point in history, where the scales of justice were finally balanced for all, ensuring a brighter future where fairness prevailed over discrimination and inequality.

while random skirmishes all over the land were still rampant outside the walls of the Royal Capital but as long as the queen sits on the crimson throne evil deeds will always get the justice they deserve, bringing a sense of hope and security to the people. The queen's unwavering commitment to upholding justice and ensuring that wrongdoers face the consequences of their actions has instilled a newfound trust in the legal system. With her strong leadership,

she has once again implemented reforms that prioritize fairness and equality, dismantling the barriers that once hindered marginalized communities from accessing justice. As a result, individuals from all walks of life now have an equal opportunity to seek redress for their grievances, knowing that their voices will be heard and their rights protected. The queen's reign has ushered in an era where justice prevails over corruption, where the rule of law reigns supreme, and where every citizen can find solace in the knowledge that they will receive the justice they deserve. This transformative shift has not only restored faith in the legal system but has also fostered a society built on trust, unity, and mutual respect. In this new chapter of history, the crimson throne stands as a symbol of hope,

but the endless hunger for revenge is still an endless pursuit from those to lose the fight and could never forget the insult in their vast ego and arrogance. It is a cycle that perpetuates itself, fueled by bitterness and resentment. These individuals refuse to let go of the past, clinging onto their grievances like a badge of honor. Their insatiable desire for retribution blinds them to reason and compassion, clouding their judgment and distorting their perception of reality.

In their pursuit of revenge, they become consumed by a toxic cocktail of anger and vindictiveness. Every waking moment is dedicated to plotting schemes and devising ways to inflict pain upon those they perceive as enemies. They relish in the thought of causing suffering, convinced that it will somehow alleviate their own inner turmoil.

Yet, little do they realize that revenge is an empty promise, offering nothing but temporary satisfaction. It may momentarily satiate their wounded pride, but it will never heal the deep-seated wounds within their souls. Instead, it only perpetuates a vicious cycle of hatred and destruction.

While the world moves forward, these individuals remain trapped in a never-ending loop of bitterness.

one such being is getting a Mithril forge arm. to replace his severed right arm after waiting for many months hiding in the deepest part of his secret hideout where Warlord Tharkeroth Dallmethad and his family continue to plot to end the royal family, with the help of his secret benefactor Banneret Eilaira Firsha the remaining member and founder of the ten Highbeards who is nearly on equal par with her uncle Trazgallen Villmarine Ber'gith the primordial dragon with a power level of 70 thousand.

"the event that transpired this few months was a delightful to watch, among the nine you alone gave me this excitement !"

" Tharkeroth, I am very happy that you were able to survive that annoying little pest,I really don't like her ever since my uncle trained her and became his student, but seeing her son now was worth the patience I tolerated seeing how lame the entertainment was before,"

'but now seeing his potential is making me this excited, after millennia of boredom I will give you another chance to prove that you are worth retaining your life,"

" Remember all of the Dallmethad are my pets, and getting my hand dirty is not optional, until I decide otherwise, huh.."

"I hope you and your clan and the rest would remember that, ok?"

"Yes, we remember your grace benevolent kindness toward us lowly loyal subjects!"

"huh! Loyal subjects!"

"pardon my grace, us loyal pets!"

"Better!"
