Screams of thousands of soldiers filled the battle field and the deliberator stood with a nonchalant expression. Everyone was terrified of what they saw. A man seemingly human with nothing peculiar about him was able to singlehandedly turn the tables of this war. The soldiers who were waiting back were scared wondering what kind of freak of a king they had leading them but they were glad that they weren't the opposition or they would be facing this hell. Eva was taken aback while Natalie finally saw why he chose to fight them alone. The opponents soldiers kept with their screams and their king seeing that they were quickly falling at a disadvantage amplified his voice using mana ,"We will draw back just stop!!!" He shouted but the slaughter continued as he hadn't said a thing. He then looked at the source of all of this pain and suffering and finally understood why he had sent the submission proposal. "We are all humans here so why do we have to resort to such crude methods." He spoke in a desperate tone and before him appeared a submission contract and a slave collar.
He didn't think he would be in such a situation but to save his men, he forcefully signed the contract but he refused to wear the collar. "I signed the contract so stop." Andrew letting a small laugh and unlike the king who shouted, he spoke in a calm manner but everyone heard him ,"I gave you a chance to submit without force but you neglected it. Consider this a consequence of your own folly." The screams got louder with every second and everyone seeing the gruesome fates these soldiers encountered, they wondered if Andrew was truly human. The king of Mordant would accept to sign the contract but to throw away his dignity was something he could never do as his pride would not allow it. He was a king for crying out loud and if he became a slave, then what would that say about him and his kingdom. After a while, the battle drowned in silence as every soldier of the opposition was dead save the king and his commander. Andrew lowered his hands and looked at the king who drowned in disbelief of what lay infront of him. "After what you have done, you are clearly not human. On behalf of these soldiers, I will kill you!" He charged at Andrew with his sword aiming for his head and before Natalie could react, the commander's movements stopped infront of Andrew before turning into a bloody mist. SS rank was dead right infront of their eyes without any form of resistance. A SS rank was a high level to acquire and the personnel could easily live an easy life as many had struggled to achieve such a feat and they had few equals such as other SS rankers or SSS rankers who were quite few in the world and yet one was able to perish within seconds without much effort being exerted.
Brushing off the bits of human flesh off him, Andrew started walking towards the king of Mordant who seeing Andrew collected himself and performed his most powerful attack on him. "World ending blade." He roared and an insurmountable amount of mana enveloped him but Andrew calmly approached him giving him time to charge up. "Why won't he kill him when the opposition is preparing his attack?" Natalie asked but to her surprise Eva answered ,"Because even if he lands that attack, the outcome will still be the same." Natalie knew how powerful that attack was but it's only flaw was that it took time to prepare it but when unleashed, it would release an incredible amount of mana in the form of a beam towards it's victim. "It's finally ready." The king murmured before shouting ,"Take this you monster!" He shouted releasing the beam of light as it headed towards Andrew who looked at the beam of light headed towards him with a calm expression. The aftereffect of the laser went across the battlefield with colourful portrayals lighting the late evening completely evaporating everything in it's trail.
A huge trench was formed and the king putting on a delighted expression guffawed ,"You certainly are powerful but stupid." Natalie tried to look over the field but she couldn't see Andrew anywhere but looking at Eva who had a calm expression was confounded. The king now looking at the queen of Darwarke bore a resentful expression. If he knew that he would face such a a loss, he wouldn't have engaged the war but continuing with it would be a loss for him as he had exhausted a lot of mana performing that technique. He cursed and turning around,he saw a person he thought he'd killed. "How are you still alive?" But what surprised him was that he had been standing there without him realizing it. A slave collar floated on Andrew's hand but he was still adamant on taking it and seeing that he had no intention of wearing it, Andrew formed a sword made from the adjacent blood present and the king seeing this, he brought out his own personal sword making a slash but it was stopped midway. Looking at Andrew who had stopped his sword with his fingers,he realized that he was either SSS rank like him but to his surprise, Andrew broke it and dropping the fragments. "It was made of Ytterbium. How did you break it?" He asked for he knew that there wasn't anything that could break Ytterbium,not even SSS rankers but Andrew was able to break his sword.
A horizontal slash across his stomach was what he got as an answer and started crawling away on the ground from Andrew. Andrew didn't bother chasing him as he looked up making everyone look up wondering what this devil was planning on next. A black hole appeared on his finger but it started to get bigger and bigger till it started to cover the entire sky. The gravitational force of the distorted as it got lighter with everyone starting to float slowly from the ground. The black hole started to take in the corpses of the soldiers who covered the battlefield and the king of Mordant looking at Andrew wondered what he was but he was slowly going up till he too was taken by the black ominous hole. He gave a inhumane shrill before meeting his demise but the black hole only got bigger to the point it was visible from any point of the world. 'Should I just kill everyone and move on?'
Andrew thought but looking at Eva, he gave up on that idea. People from every kingdom saw the black hole that was starting to affect the gravity of the entire world as it was big enough to swallow it hole. It got bigger till it covered the sun shrouding this world in darkness for five minutes before quickly collapsing back to Andrew's finger before vanishing. Andrew let out a small sigh before closing his eyes standing in a battlefield covered in blood derived of any corpses.
Everyone present looked at the man standing alone but no one dared to approach him wondering where such a monster came from but Andrew opened his eyes, pocketing his hands walking back to his army. Natalie finally understood why Eva was so confident in Andrew taking over but with his power, taking over the other kingdoms would be no problem. Andrew spoke looking at Natalie who now along with the soldiers who had accommodated them spoke ,"I expect Mordant to be in your hands in two days." He commanded. "As you wish." Alongside other soldiers who had arrived they immediately set off. "I'm hungry." He spoke looking at Eva with a smile. "Though they should be fine." Since most of the fighting force of the kingdom of Mordant was eradicated, the their soldiers shouldn't find any problem. He gave her a romantic hug before looking at Natalie who was still there though she was afraid of the monster standing before her. She thought that the queen was already terrible in terms of power as she was able to easily overpower their king but Andrew was something else. Looking at the monstrous duo embracing each other, she received her orders from Eva ,"You'll be leading this expedition." And in her hands suddenly appeared a sword similar to Eva's. "Take care." Andrew spoke before disappearing from her sight appearing back at the castle. Natalie looked at the sword before holstering it and heading towards Mordant.
Appearing back at the castle as a surprise to her but not too much seeing the illogical and unrealistic things Andrew could do. They appeared at Andrew's room ,"After a long day of battling, don't you think I deserve a little treat." Andrew looking at Eva in his embrace. Knowing where this was going, she didn't hesitate in Andrew's arms. The sun had already set and they both went for dinner after sprucing themselves up. "You're back earlier than expected." Martha claimed during dinner. "Well it really didn't take long, just as Aldritch had said." Eva spoke with a relaxed mood. "And the materialization of what that was earlier also your work." Andrew unbothered with dining as he was already full ,"Yes." Martha wanted her two daughters to be safe commented ,"You do realize that it could have killed us all not to mention the attention you've landed on your head." Andrew looking at Martha ,"Whether you all live or die won't affect me as there are other worlds to bother but provided you behave yourselves, you could find my company very valuable. As for attention, just to scare the other kingdoms that's all." Eva looking at Andrew ,"Did you have to give that sword to Natalie? You are aware of what will follow." She knew what would happen the moment the other kingdoms saw what that sword could do. "Provided they aren't stupid, they shouldn't make any irrational moves provided their spies deliver the Intel." Eveyln worried ,"Wait, there were spies and you didn't kill them."
Raising his index finger ,"You'll understand why later." Above them, the two swords gifted to them appeared before turning to dust. He reconstructed them but with more glamorous designs and more perks before returning them back. "For conveniency, just imagine them to be smaller and it should work." They both tried it and it worked. He stood up and stood behind Eva tying her hair into a knot and summoning her sword reducing it's size to the size of a hair clip holding it in place. He gave her a small kiss before going back to his seat. Eva was a little flustered but everyone knew that the two were already close with each other thanks to Eveyln. Martha was relieved as having a powerful asset would be beneficial considering that he had an affair with her daughter. "Don't view me as an asset Martha." He spoke in a cold voice startling Martha for a second before regaining her composure. 'Well it will be troublesome though.' She thought but Andrew threw her a cold look before reverting to his oblivious expression. "What will happen in a month?" He suddenly asked. Eveyln taking the lead ,"Well the year will be over. Why do you ask?" "Anything else?" He asked before Eva replying ,"Yeah. There will be selection of the new students to be enrolled in Magical academies per kingdom. Speaking of which, Eveyln you will have to resume your studies." Letting out a groan ,"Why? Clearly what Aldritch is teaching is a million times better than what I'll learn." Eva with an annoyed look ,"That may be true but you have to focus on your mana." Eveyln groaning even louder ,"Why? Can't Aldritch just forcefully advance me. Just like what he did with you." Andrew was the one who replied ,"Because then it was necessary. Besides if I did that, you would have a hard time adjusting to sudden increment in power level so you will have to go to school." With a defeated expression ,"Fine. I'll go to school." Martha smiled and resumed with her meal. 'So that's why the luck had been constantly rising. I wonder what cheat he'll get and from which party.'
