Awaken by a loud explosion and commotion, Alphaeus begrudgingly slithered out of the bead and started throwing on all his clothes and gear.
Alphaeus flung his door open to see multiple people dressed in cloaks with red stars all over their clothes—they were fighting against the castle guards and were winning the fight with a struggle.
One of the cloaked men ran at Alphaeus with a dagger and glowing markings on his hand. "Cursed weaponry!?" Alphaeus' face had an awkward smile slide across it before he roundhouse kicked the man into a wall; his face slid down the wall, leaving a trail of blood.
"Have the decency to have a plan when you run up on me!" Alphaeus grabs his crown off his head, and it melts into a dagger. Another door opens, and Des, Marx, and Liliya come out.
"Where are you three having a sleepover? What the fuck!?" Alphaeus looks at The three in sheer awe. The only one dressed completely was Des. The other two covered themselves and returned to the room before closing it.
"Thie day is already turning out to be a real pain in my ass." Des walked up to the battle with a smile and bags under his eyes. He lifted his hand towards the crowd of black-cloaked men.
"WAIT DONT DO THAT!"
"Grand-Fractura!"
Some men exploded when the air cracked, but the ground completely collapsed, and everyone fighting in the halls fell to the floor under them.
"Float!" Alphaeus said as he tapped himself and Des as they fell before their descent slowed and they started floating. Alphaues slammed his dagger into the wall to slow his fall, and Des let the magic handle it.
"Not what I was expecting. Who would have known the structure would have been this bad." Des smiled at Alphaeus. Alphaeus laughed as he looked back at him.
"You psychopath, I'm sure you just injured some of that guard or even worse. And also, you almost got us both injured in the process." Alphaeus stared at him as Des turned towards the window and landed on it before pointing down.
"There's more outside. I'll deal with them. You can go and handle the others lingering around in the castle, right?" Des turned his head lazily towards Alphaeus.
"Yeah, I got it. Just think more before you use such a destructive move!" alphas watched as Des broke the window and jumped out; he turned away from the window and looked up
"They can't reach the other heroes now, and they are most definitely awake after all that commotion." alphas floated to the other side of the hallway on the 5th floor of the castle where there was an actual floor, deactivating his floating skill.
"The crown is telling me there is more In the castle. Adds more work for me until the rest of the heroes get their asses up!" Alphaeus walked around a corner with a smile as a woman in a cloak dashed out at him and grabbed him the waste in an attempt to tackle him.
"Didn't know you would be so happy to see me." Alphaeus grabbed the girl by the back of the head before kicking her legs out from under her and slamming her head into the ground.
"Just who the hell are you people?" Alphaeus lifted her head up as the blood trickled from her nose. She smiled at him crazily, and her pupiles pulsated in her head before dilating as she looked at him. Alphaeus recoiled at her appearance and how she went from beautiful to downright insane looking.
"We are apostles of the great Singularity! You can't stop the Singularity's great power! It will destroy you and everything you love while granting our every wish as we continue to worship him!
"Yeah, this bitch is 100% Freaky." Alphaeus smiled before knocking her out, tying her up, and placing her on the wall.
As Alphaeus walked the halls, he felt the castle shake, making him stumble and lean on a wall.
"Could be many things, could be Des, could be the other heroes finally putting in work, or there's a lot more to these people than what meets the eye." Alphaeus thought before one of the doors exploded, and a knight covered in black armor with the same stars on the clan members' cloaks came running out from a doorway.
The man quickly ran up to Alphaeus and swung his sword; Alphaeus was already in the air above him him by the time he swung and stuck out his hand toward the Knight
"Equalizer!" the knight fell to the ground instantly as a red and black mist oozed out from the slits in his armor.
Alphaeus spiraled down towards him with his dagger before slamming it into his head and sending the knight's body down to the floor under them.
"Black magic buff. I learned a skill to completely get rid of any buff or debuff from my master. Didn't think it would come in handy so early." Alphaeus walked into the doorway that the knight came from. Imthere was a hallway that lead to the armory on the inside. It was one of the 5 armories in the castle.
He opened thee door and seen more cloaked men using there blood to write on the armor. The armor after all the symbols was made along with the weapons that would be written on would turn black. A black mist would ooze off the armor and weapons for a while after the writing was placed.
"SPACIAL COLLAPSE!" everyone in the room was quickly sucked towards the center of the room one of the men with armor on didn't get knocked out from the impact and jumped out of the pile of bodies to deliver a kick to Alpaeus mid section.
"Oh really" with a grin still on his face he stumbled back slightly before extending one of his hands out shakely.
"Equalize" he mumbles before catching a fist to the face sending him through the wall and back out of the room.
The man let out a laugh before he was quickly cut off as he started spitting and coughing up blood. In a split second Alphaeus dashed and slid his dagger into the throat of the man, he smiled sadistically as he twisted the dagger in his neck and pulled it out before kicking his body to the ground.
"Shouldn't laugh at someone you know nothing about. Tsk tsk tsk." Alphaeus flicked his dagger and the blood splattered on the ground.
The item that he uses is called the inverted Crown of Heaven. In crown form it can tell where everyone is around you while also taking you there emotions, feeling of hostility and more. In its dagger form it can completely cancel abilities no matter what and can cut through anything. It also gives a debuff making any attacker very fatigued.
Alphaeus looked at the wall to see in bloody writing "The singularity will come."
"The singularity? Bad ass name for a unknown jackass.. Who the hell even is this?"
The Castle started to shake once again before Alphaeus looked outside the window to see one of the main watch towers of the castle falling. Followed by an explosion on the far end of the castle near the entrance.
"Holy shit. Time to get a move on!!
