Cabolt couldn't see how he could get out of the situation.
" It was Cabolt's idea. I never wanted to go see those thugs. He forced me. Yeah that's right he forced me." Billiam said pointing at Cabolt. Cabolt bit his lip. Billiam was ratting him out. The King had already made up his mind concerning what was going on.At this point in time the only way to get out of the situation was escape.
"Mother you have to believe me. I would never do anything like this especially to my own dear sister and my beloved cousin." He said clinging to the queen.
" It's not that you wouldn't,you couldn't. Your brain isn't developed enough to enable critical thinking." Kojo said.
" Why you." Billiam began but Kojo flicked his wrist and a web covered Billiam mouth.
There was a flash and a tremor. The city shook for a few minutes before calming down. Kojo looked up at the season.
" That must have been quite a powerful guy they faced. Using nuclear flames magic to 'go out with a bang.' Anyway,the two noble women have been found and aside from the leader the rest of the members have been captured. No wait,one of them got away. Hmm. Well guess it can't be helped."
( What do you mean it can't be helped. )
" It's better this way. He'll be our messenger and spread the good news." Kojo thought
( What news?)
" Simple. Don't Fuck Around "
Sysia sighed.
" How did you know they succeeded?" Cabolt asked.
" Oh Sharone spoke to me telepathically. I wonder why she didn't tell me she could do that and made me buy those communication rings. Well,it is what it is. I'll see if she can teach me sometime."
" Or I can copy it" Kojo thought the last part.
Cabolt quickly realized that the situation wasn't in his favor and started looking for a way to escape. They heard the knights yelling in the distance.Suddenly a large monster burst through the wall. It had a knight in its mouth and right before their eyes clamped its jaws together ,severing the body. It looked like a large lizard with green scales and spikes on its back. It was around the same size as a school bus and it had a barbed tail with a long spike sticking out of the end. It roared but was quickly silenced by an earth spike that drove into its jaw and came out of the top of its head. Kojo waved his hand retracting the spike and watching as its body dropped to the ground. He noticed that there were other mutations outside resembling deformed cats , rats,lizards and even birds which flew overhead. A slug came out of the mouth of the mutation Kojo had just killed and raced into Cabolts mouth before he could react.
He choked and held his throat ,dropping to his knees as tears and snot rolled down his face. He bowed and stopped moving when suddenly large spikes burst out of his back into the ceiling and the walls around him. Impaling the knights in the room. Kojo managed to evade while putting up a barrier around the royal family. He looked back at Cabolt who had morphed into a reptilian monster. He roared causing a massive shockwave that blew the room apart.
Quicksilver.
Kojo moved forward striking Cabolt at the speed of sound sending him flying through the building. He then tried to lead the king and his family away from the fight but a mutated chicken picked him from the ground and flew off with him.
"I'm beginning to really hate chickens." Kojo said frying it with a bolt of electricity.
As he fell through the air he noticed that there was an entire horde of these things and they weren't going after the palace alone but were indiscriminately attacking the city. It would take a while for the girl to arrive from the suburbs.
Some of the monsters flew toward him. The band around his wrist began to glow and expand,runes circling around his hand.
Activating Administrator Privileges...
Granted.
The Tower was protected by a distortion field that prevented people from getting in with Spatial magic. However as Administrator he was allowed permission to move anywhere and anything in the tower at any time from outside even if he didn't have Spatial manipulation. It was too much of a hassle to process all that info so he left it for Sysia,his inbuilt PA system.
( I'm not a PA system.Im the most advanced...)
" Yeah yeah" Kojo said cutting her off.
Summoning.
He summoned a horde of harpies he'd fought in the tower. They were people who resemble humans but had wings and feathers covering their chests and the sides of their faces . They also had sharp talons on their feet and claws. Some could even use magic. Their habitat the skylands were destroyed during the war but had been taken in by Estelle.
" I really need to meet up with the locals if the tower one of these days"
( Hey stop ignoring me)
Kojo put a barrier while sending a telepathic message to the harpies to kill the monsters disrupting the city. They shrieked and flew out just as Kojo put a barrier around the palace. He then unfurled his own wings and with a loud boom flew towards the palace,sword in hand cutting down anything that was in his way.
The king and the queen ran while being pursued by the monster that was Cabolt. The queen stood back and froze a wall in order to stop its progress. Before running forward. All this while Billiam couldn't stop wailing in his predicament. Although his mouth was still sealed with Kojo's web, he began to curse and blame Kojo for what was happening. The king gave orders for the guards that were around to go after the beasts that had invaded the castle. They ran around,trying to avoid the monsters that had made their way inside the building.They managed to run into the large throne room. The knights quickly bolted the door and stood behind it with weapons raised. On the other side,they heard people screaming and the sounds of people being torn apart then,silence. The door suddenly burst open as a green acid poured on the guards and began melting them. Cabolt walked toward them on all fours,his claws scratching the floor,acid dripping down its mouth. The other monsters also entered the room and surrounded them. The king pulled out his sword. Unlike his brothers ,he wasn't a fighter and his magic circuits had been damaged in a war years ago. Cabolt rose to his feet and roared before jumping at them. Kojo ,who was being held back by the horde of monsters ,wouldn't make it.
Then it happened.
There was a flash of blue light and the monsters surrounding the king Burst , their blood splashing on the walls and Cabolt being blown back. Lightning crackler and sparked all around
In front of the family stood an awakened Reynolds.
" Don't worry ,your majesty. I'll protect you." He said.
Billiam who hadn't been so grateful in his life hugged his leg.
" Oh Billiam. Why are you crying and what happened to your face."
Outside the throne room there were scorch marks where the monster had been. It all happened faster than the blink of an eye.
Taking The Kings blade he pointed it at Cabolt and accelerated knocking him outside the palace with a boom. As he rushed at the enemy he looked up. His eyes met with Kojo and they nodded at each other while dealing with the enemies at hand. As Kojo killed the monster in the air,Rey faced off against Cabolt.
Cabolt spat a stream of acid at Rey, but he swiftly dodged with a lightning-fast dash, avoiding the attack. She retaliated with a burst of lightning bolts, striking Cabolt with precision.
Cabolt shot Rey with poison tipped spikes, Rey swirled his sword around him deflecting Cabolt's attack. However, Cabolt threw a spike which pierced Reys shoulder and pounced on him as he dropped to his knees . Rey lit him up with a lightning strike from above and while Cabolt was falling pulled out the spike and jumped ,raising the sword over his head.
Cabolt then struck with his barbed tail, stabbing him through the chest. Rey coughed out blood then brought the sword down in the tail severing it. Cabolt roared and stumbled back. Rey used his free hand and struck Cabolt in the chest with a palm strike
Ressonace Application: Erasure
Resonance Amplification allows Rey to tap into the unique resonant frequency of a target, amplifying it to the point of overload or reduction. This causes the target's molecular structure to destabilize and disintegrate on a sub atomic level effectively erasing it from existence.
In the case of Cabolt, the slug controlling his mind had a distinct resonant frequency. By amplifying this frequency while hitting it with an opposite one, Rey disrupted the slug's connection to Cabolt's body, banishing it and freeing Cabolt from its control. The slug's physical form disintegrated , while Cabolt's human form remained intact.
Cabolt fell to the ground ,his body almost skeletal as a side effect of Rey's attack. Kojo also killed the last Monster and called the Harpies back. They floated around him. He thanked them for a job well done,they looked at him with surprise but Kojo didn't stop. He told them to spread the word. He was going to make changes in the tower so the should prepare themselves.As he was talking,he noticed that the girls had returned with a large crowd of people. Adriana ran out of the group and rushed forward to hug her brother tears rolling down her cheeks. Rey gently stroked her hair.
"You don't need to worry anymore. I'm awake" he said with a smile.
Kojo smiled and dismissed the harpies back to the tower and flew down towards his friends as they disappeared in a flash of light.
