"What is it that you can't have that you need from me?" He already knew that Andrew was portraying as the king of Darwarke and hearing how he won against Mordant, taking on the entire army by himself was already an impossible feat to accomplish but he did it with no effort. "A family." Andrew looked at Ernest with a playful expression. "You can take anything from me but please don't hurt my family." Ernest spoke going on his knees. "Don't worry. I don't want yours, I want your superior's. Easy, right." Ernest was bewildered with what Andrew asked.
"Just lead the way where he lives and you'll be fine. And I know you aren't stupid enough to try anything off right." Ernest hurriedly spoke ,"As you wish." It was already night ,"We can go now." "I thought Sir would stay for a little longer." Lily spoke in a sad expression. Andrew who had already stood up knelt down on one knee to her level ,"I'll try to stay longer next time." He caressed her small delicate cheek before standing, leaving with Ernest into the night. The sun had already set so not many people were put and about. There a couple of guards making patrols here and there and seeing how Andrew was dressed, they immediately stopped him. He was wearing black attires with a black hood masking his appearance making him look rather suspicious unlike Ernest who was dressed as per usual easy to recognize. "I'm going to have to ask you to remove your hood." A solider commanded standing alongside his comrade.
Ernest was nervous as he thought Andrew would instruct them to kill themselves like earlier. "Run all over the kingdom naked. You will regain control when the sun is at it's peak." Andrew joked as he left with Ernest. He could have killed them but he didn't want attention right now. They kept on walking and the same situation kept happening over till most of the night patrol knights fell under his command. Finally they arrived at a grand mansion with beautiful artistic designs much better compared to Ernest's house but what intrigued Andrew was something else inside. Ernest opened the gates before Andrew gave a nonchalant look ,"That will be all Ernest." Without wasting any more time, Ernest zoomed off into the night as he didn't want to be associated with the case of knights running around naked in the kingdom. Brandishing his blood sickles,he heavily breathed in and out before proceeding inside. There were guards who were already coming over to investigate why the gate was open and without a second to spare, Andrew killed them all before proceeding inside. Servants were at first surprised by his appearance as a strange hooded man appeared in the dead of night and started killing anyone on sight. There were those who fought back but their heads would drop on the floor even before they took the first step.
He went straight to the office of Liam Yashmoore. It stood out as it was heavily guarded by the guards who now littered the floor. He opened the fine oak doors to meet an empty room. 'Not here.'
He then went to the kitchen which was accommodating a lot of maids busy here and there. The butler overseeing them approached him ,"You are not suppose to be..." His bald head rolled on the floor staining his uniform in his blood. The maids freaked out trying to escape saving their own lives but he didn't have to trouble himself not to mention it would attract attention to himself which was what he wanted. He then went to the small garden to find not his intended target. He wore a red blazer with golden linings on it's rims. Black pants and golden hair and eyes coupled with a handsome face which appeared to shine in the night sky. He was accompanied by a delicate fair maiden who wore a blue dress embellishing her azure blue eyes and blue hair. They both seemed to be made for each other if that was the case. "I don't love you Luke. You are cold-hearted, selfish and uncaring. I don't know why my dad would want me to marry a guy like you." It seemed there was discord between the two. The boy called Luke just looked at the beautiful maiden hurl insults at him and seeing this, the girl shouted ,"That's it. Our engagement is over." She stormed off ignoring Andrew going towards her carriage followed by two maidservants. Luke looked at the frustrated miss before saying ,"Goodbye Ciara." He didn't look like he meant it though judging by his facial expression. He started heading back inside to Andrew holding two bloody sickles covered in blood.
He brandished his sword. 'Zirconium, huh.' Zirconium was a metal which well refined was considered tough to break unless when coming in contact with Ytterbium. It was the second strongest metal behind Ytterbium. Luke was from a first generation nobleman so having such a weapon was no surprise. Luke, a D ranker holstering a B rank weapon took his stance with killing intent emitting from his body. Though he realized something was off when he saw that Andrew had no mana pools inside his body but he didn't let his guard down. "Who are you?" He asked in a cautious voice. Andrew looked at Luke who was almost the same age as him, a year younger than him though. Seeing that his question went unanswered, Luke coming up with a plan to get around this stranger was hit by a strong scent of human blood. He saw blood trails behind Andrew as fresh blood dripped from his sickles which he pointed one at him in a lazy manner before saying ,"Where is your father?" Luke ignored his question and charged at Andrew who stood in a lazy posture similar to one who had never wielded a sword. Aiming for his heart but his sword was scattered by Andrew's sickle in one motion. Backing away from ,'My sword broke. This is bad as it seems that the opponent has a weapon made of Ytterbium. How can I face him if he has a weapon while I don't.' But to his surprise, Andrew withdrew his sickles remaining barefisted. He thought that it was foolish of the enemy to do this and balling his fists, he dashed at Andrew using a magical chant.
'Desperate times call for desperate measures' as he kicked straight into Andrew's gonads but he didn't flinch. 'Are you even human or are you secretly a high ranker.' He struggled to get out of his situation but nothing worked. "Get your hands off my son." A deep voice said as it's owner charged at Andrew. Behind him was his wife and Andrew let go of Luke's hands. A punch from a A ranker hit Andrew's face but he stood unmoving. Luke had already backed up shielding his mother. 'He's strong. He was able to stand completely still even after using
Liam backing up suddenly appeared with his wife and son inside his house. The first thing that hit them was the foul smell of blood. It was in one of his halls which appeared to have the most amount of bodies littered with bodies and not far from it was his office. Andrew calmly walked in gesturing them to do as well. Entering,Liam saw Andrew seated on his chair with his feet on the table. The room was well furnished and we'll spaced with weapons hang all over the walls. Both him and his son seizing the opportunity, they took adjacent spears which were closest to them enchanting them before throwing them at Andrew. Before they could take any other weapon,time froze in the room and the two spears froze in place and Andrew looked at the Father and son duo. They couldn't move their bodies but Andrew enabled them to see. He gently stood up before saying ,"It seems that you misunderstood my intentions." Liam under Andrew's will spoke ,"What do you want?" He couldn't figure out what this stranger would want. Andrew took of his hooded cloth revealing his handsome features.
"It's you. The one who nearly killed the king of Astria and won the battle singlehandedly against the kingdom of Mordant." Andrew focused his attention to the two spears aimed at him before switching their trajectory towards Luke. "It's him." Luke spoke in a shocked expression. He had heard that the person standing before him could have killed the king but he abruptly left. As for the battle against Mordant, everyone no matter where they were saw the black hole he had made which threatened to absorb their planet if it hadn't collapsed. In other words he could the entire world if he wanted. "Why are you here?" His mother asked in a scared expression. "Simple, I want you to accommodate me as your son." Everyone was puzzled by what he meant. It was clear that he was the king of Darwarke but he denied himself this privilege to stay here as their son. They couldn't wrap their heads around it. "Don't bother your little heads as of why just accept it." A black tentacle emerged from his palm and attached itself on Luke's head. Luke let out screams of pain which were short lived before he met his demise. "Compared to the fate you were intended to meet, consider this better." Andrew spoke coldly before withdrawing his tentacle back. Luke had a blank expression. Andrew had devoured all of his memories leaving his mind blank similar to that of a newborn but he couldn't gain anymore memories. Snapping his fingers, time resumed and the two spears aimed at Luke impaled him on the wall completely killing him.
Luke's mother hurriedly went over to his son's corpse which had two spears suspending him by his head and heart. She let out cries as a loving mother would mourning for her son and Liam looked at his son who was on the wall before looking at the man who caused it seating leisurely with a carefree expression. 'Why did he have to come to here?' He thought looking at what seemed the devil on his chair. He couldn't fight back as he'd be dead even before he moved. Telling the king wouldn't make the situation better as this time he would really kill him so the only option left was that he would accept it because running away was not a viable option either. Andrew snapped his fingers and Luke's corpse disappeared. The couple looked at Andrew who stood up with resentment in their eyes and hearts and his appearance changed to that of their son's. They were momentarily stunned as of how he did that but the sombre mood took over their heads once more. "How do I look father?" Andrew asked Liam with a voice exactly like Luke's. "You look great son." He spoke against his will then looking at Andrew with an angry face. Looking at the couple infront of him ,"These looks of yours are going to change. And a little insurance at that."
He snapped his fingers and binding seals appeared in the duos hearts. It would prevent them from saying what happened to anyone and publicly force them to treat Andrew as if they were his son. If they even thought of telling anyone, the binding seal would tighten it's grip around their hearts subjecting them to torture but not death till they dispelled the thought. Nor would they have any ill intentions towards Andrew in any way,shape or form. "Well it's late so I'll head to bed." Andrew spoke as he exited the room. Liam and his wife Veronica looked at Andrew leaving before having a mental breakdown. Using Luke's memories, he found his room which despite it's grand space was blandly decorated but he didn't care before falling asleep on his bed.
