A demon that's all they could be after all humans can't create a visible aura as it is only known to belong to monsters of the world.
Looking at the individual in shock I couldn't help but feel terror like he was too strong for anyone to handle. His attire had changed into a modern getup. A long coat with runes lining it and a grey vest along with black trousers and combat boots. It all looked like it would give no defence but if he is wearing it for a battle it must mean he is confident or it is strong and highly resistant.
Taking a step forward he opened his mouth.
"So when are you going to order the assassins to jump me?"
Before I could even react to what he said he performed an axe kick into thin air but contrary to my belief blood and teeth flew from where he had made contact with seemingly nothing.
Slowly an masked person materialised out of thin air their head utterly crushed into itself it was a gut clenching sight and one I would probably remember for the rest of my life. Soldiers started rushing into the ballroom surrounding the two. I was conflicted after all they were going to be forced into stuff that they didn't want to do and the king was pulling cliche scummy moves using his status as an advantage but to kill a human being is wrong.
"Stop you don't have to do this!"
"Oh but this is very much necessary"
Multiple loud bangs came from something and all of the surrounding guards heads exploded and large holes pierced the walls. In his hand was a gun! This world was filled with magic so guns had never been made.
Letting out a gutteral growl in anger of the people killed I let out a
"WHO ARE YOU!"
I already told you my name as for other details well you don't need to know.
Pulling out my sword I got ready to charge in but before i could even take a step the woman finally made a move
"Down"
A look of scorn was on her face as her golden eyes narrowed dangerously.
All of my team and comrades fell to the ground unable to move.
"Now now no need to be so angry. After all what have I done to you? Anyways Vasilias what to do with you. You haven't even got up from your seat and even then you have gotten too complacent in your pitiful strength and weak men. You ordered my death your assassin did a shit job of making sure I was dead. "
Aiming his revolver he aimed at the king.
"A swift and merciful death is too good for you and your city. So for now you will live in constant agony begging for a death only I can give you."
Getting desperate I used my trump card
{Activating skill Deaths Door}

Request received.
Bed time for you Mr hero
Getting clubbed by the butt of his revolver I felt my conscious fade.
{Skill failed to activate due to the request being denied}
Unfortunately I couldn't see that prompt nor the words that came after.
"I will not fight the broken one. After all I failed to save him. I'm sorry... Ren."
~Kaizer~
"It's not your fault"
mumbling under my breath I could feel the message the goddess left for me.
Walking slowly and confidently as possible I made my way towards the king. Now sweating in his glorified chair I could see the fear in his eyes, Climbing the steps I gave what could only be called a villain's speech.
"I'm not a man of material wealth. Take my weapons fine take my mediocre armour fine even dress me bare with nothing left and I wouldn't care after all I can make a better version. However when you talk about my Wife like that. WELL THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY!
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SHE MEANS TO ME!
YOU FUCKED WITH THE WRONG PERSON AND THEN TOOK A DIG AT THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS STOPING ME FROM ERADICATING THIS ENTIRE SHITTY WORLD LEST YOUR LITTLE FAIRY TALE KINGDOM!
If you ever go near her I will personally see to it that your little kingdom is turned to ash."
Stabbing him in the abdomen with a thin poison lined blade I then turned to the group of petrified failures that were splayed on the floor.
"Tough day for you eh?"
They just looked at me like I'm stupid. Was I stupid? Surely not!
"If you want to survive then grow stronger and don't believe that anything is free in this world. Especially by a king who hides so many skeletons in his closet."
I"f you need me I'll be leaving the kingdom with my wife to explore the world and settle down somewhere quaint. Enjoy your slow and painful death you bastard."
Turning to Lilly I couldn't help but smile as her blood splattered face came into my view. She had been keeping the guards outside busy while I monologue like a third rate villain. Walking towards her I held her in my arms as I closed the distance between our faces. Locking my lips with hers we enjoyed a long passionate kiss. Looking into her golden eyes I couldn't help but feel like the luckiest person alive. Giving her a gentle squeeze I thanked her for taking care of the guards and for letting me solve my issues by myself. I would finally be able to let go knowing that his fate was sealed and look ahead to my future with her.
She had been silent a majority of the time I guess when there are people around she is more silent but in a way I kind of like that . I guess she didn't want to talk unless she had to.
Arm in arm we left just like we entered.
Not giving a flying fuck about anything but each other.
