Chereads / Judas: The King of the Thieves / Chapter 10 - The Birth of the One they call Judas

Chapter 10 - The Birth of the One they call Judas

In the Frozen Village in Astelaa. Achintya is on a call with someone.

"Turns out your lead was wrong. Ishaan Shyla does not have custody of the Princess." Achintya said while picking Ishaan's head up.

"What?! But he's the one who's always been insistent on marrying my daughter. Then who has my daughter?" Dhruv asked.

"It's a very interesting person."

"Speak."

"It's the Watchdog, Keith Ammizabad."

"You're saying the Watchdog abducted my daughter?"

"That's correct. Meaning you will have to pay up a higher amount because I'm going to take on the most fearsome criminal of the south." Achintya said.

"I don't mind, As long as I get my daughter back. I don't mind selling the whole nation to you." Dhruv said.

"Nice doing business with you."

Achintya hangs up the phone and walks away. Meanwhile in the Village of Cliffwolf in Astaven, The Ghost Bandits Ship returns to the Village but sees the entire village engulfed in flames with dead bodies lying everywhere.

"I... can't believe it." Mahendra said.

"Hey...Hey...What the hell is going on here?" Rakesh asked.

Keith quickly jumps off the ship and runs to his house. He arrives home and sees Aanya's Dead body lying on the floor with the Maid's dead body next to it.

"Aanya!!"

Keith runs towards Aanya's body and slightly lifts it up.

"Hey, Say something."

Keith holds Her cold dead body tight around his arms.

"I came back early like you said...please don't leave... you're all I have left..." Keith said while sobbing.

As Keith is sobbing, Bit by bit, the house starts to collapse. Outside the house, Rakesh and the others walk around the burnt village in search of Survivors.

"All of them...were killed." Mahendra said while shaking.

As they keep moving, they see Suraj struggling beneath the rubble.

"Chief!!" Both Mahendra and Rakesh shouted.

They run towards Suraj's body and try to help him out of the rubble. Mahendra enhances his strength and lifts up the rubble and Rakesh pulls Suraj out.

"You guys..."

"Chief, What happened here?" Rakesh asked.

"His hair looked like Parul so we mistook him for an ally. But he attacked every single villager and cold-heartedly killed them. He was dressed in all red and it felt like time stopped in his presence." Suraj said.

"Which means this guy is dangerous." Mahendra said.

"But the fact he attacked when we were out shows he fears Keith." Rakesh said.

"Apologize to Keith, I couldn't protect Aanya. Instead, she tried to protect us herself. I'm a failure as both father and Chief." Suraj said.

"..."

"Please take this Dagger. It is one of the 21 Sacred Items. Take it in honor of the village." Suraj said.

Rakesh takes the dagger from Suraj.

"Thank you...A word from Aanya, "Please watch over Keith for me." As for me, I ask the same."

With those last words, Suraj, The Village Chief passed away and the bandits broke down in tears.

Keith walked over to the Bandits with his wife Aanya's Dead body in his arms and his cloak covering her.

His hair turned black with blue edges like that of his mother. And his eyes gave off a sea Blue glow.

"Keith..." 'His Hair color is different, and what's with those eyes.'

"Rakesh, Take the bodies of the deceased to the ship. I'll give them a proper burial later." Keith said.

"What are you going to do?" Rakesh said.

"I'll kill all those bastards. Won't spare a single soul. I'll make sure they never get to see another day." Keith said.

Keith remembers Aanya smiling at him. And with that memory, Keith clenches his fist in anger and says,

"I'll absolutely not forgive them."

In the Capital city of Astaven, In the King's Chamber.

"Your Highness, Cliffwolf Village has been successfully wiped out. All the Villagers were dead, and not a single child was spared." One of the Guards said.

"Finally, That wretched village got what they've always deserved for these past years!" The Astaven King said.

"But won't we incur the wrath of the Watchdog?" The Guard asked.

"Thanks to the Mafia's Intel, we were able to get the Watchdog and his filthy village. Halfdan's forces will arrive anytime soon, and those Bandits will be wiped out. So don't worry." The Astaven King said.

They hear an explosion coming from the Gates of the Capital. Keith walks through the Gates with the Lightning Silver Swiftblade drawn.

The Second guard comes running into the chamber.

"Sir report, The Watchdog Keith Ammizabad has arrived in the Capital city." The Guard said.

"Watchdog?! What the hell is he doing here?! What the hell is going on?!"

Keith cuts down every single pedestrian and Military soldier that comes across his way while advancing for the Palace.

A Mom picks her child up and tries to run away but Keith cuts them down with a wind blade.

He arrives before the palace with Dead bodies piling up before his feet. He tries to kick the palace door down but he slowly lowers his feet and leaps straight for the chamber.

He breaks through the window and confronts the Astaven King.

"Watchdog?! What are you --"

Keith throws a wind blade at The King of Astaven cutting off his left arm. He walks towards the King and kicks him down.

"Your Highness?!"

The Guards and secretary run for Keith but Keith instantly decapitates them while staring the Astaven King down.

"Didn't I warn you Fur ball? Your life is clearly in my hands." Keith said.

"Heh heh, The Forces of Halfdan will be here in no time." The Astaven King said.

"They can come and fuck all they want, I don't give a shit. I just want to know why you pulled that crap." Keith said.

"You Commoners don't deserve peace. I only spared you all cause I was at your mercy but not anymore. The Forces of Halfdan will blow away every member of the Ghost Bandits."

Keith stabs the king in his chest and pushes the Blade deeper.

"You can't kill me can't you... You'll need me to access the Government Equipment." The Astaven King said.

"Huh? Who said I can't kill you?"

Keith cuts off all the King's limbs, sparing only his right arm.

"I don't need you to gain access to their Equipment, I can just steal it. I am a Bandit after all."

"Watchdog!!"

The King takes out a pocket knife and throws it at Keith but Keith dodges it and decapitates the King.

He uses wind blades to cut the rest of his body and grabs the Falling head.

"The Watchdog was the name given to me by the Villagers meaning protector but not anymore. I am...Judas."

Keith crushes the King's head and proceeds to kill every single human in the palace. He then continues to massacre every single citizen in Astaven.

He flies up to the sky creating flame storms, destroying buildings with large waves and tornadoes. Lightning strikes down on every building.

"I knew we were going to incur the wrath of the Watchdog, but I didn't think it would be like this. How is he able to control all the Elements."

Keith mixes the lightning with the flame storm and blows up the whole nation.

At the moment of his wife's death, Keith awakened powers that not even the nobles could achieve, far surpassing any human powers.

But in exchange for gaining, Keith also lost his emotions. Creating a cold, heartless, and what humans can call the personification of evil.

This was the Birth of the one they call Judas.
