Chapter 7 - Awaken Power (Part 4)

After teleporting out of the church, Austin appears on top of the castle, floating in the air as if he is standing on top of it. 

From there Austin floats there watching the birds soar through the skies and sees green for days on all sides of him.

After looking around the area Austin looks back down at the Kingdom below him. Austin floats there for a good second before he hears a voice in his head.

{"The Hero known as Johnny has awakened his power and is making his way to the castle. How should we proceed?"}

"Simply, we do nothing."

{"But would that be the best solution? If Johnny doesn't gain full control of his power soon. The whole kingdom will be destroyed."}

"That has nothing to do with me. Johnny can do as he pleases. At this moment, the fucker has plot armor, so even I can't do anything to him, even if i wanted to. So, I give no fucks."

{"Understood."}

Austin lifts up the solid pitch black sword with his left hand, to get a better look at the sword.

"Yeap, just the way I imagine you to look like. I guess this world really is stupid for summoning us here."

Austin lowers the sword, back to his side right before the sword disappears from his hand.

"Oh, yeah I nearly forgot you can do that."

{"Would you prefer I stay in your hand?"}

"Oh, no. I like this way much better. Say Ragnarok, have you finished analyzing Alex's Eye's of the God's power yet? I mean only having the Eye's of the Emperor is nice and all, but I would like to have the others now."

{"Yes, I have just finished passing over the remaining parts to the power called Eye's of the God's. It has been added to your arsenal."}

"Nice."

Austin's iris in his eyes go from a brown color to a sapphire blue color with, as Austin activates the Eye's of the Eternal.

After activity the Eye's of the Eternal, these eyes give Austin the ability to see through all things and as far as he wants to.

Austin turns and looks down at the castle, as he starts to look in each room on each floor for the library. 

After a couple of seconds Austin sees the library on the 3rd floor on the far side of the castle.

"That is a weird spot to put a library."

Without a second thought, Austin teleports inside of the library.

"Well, that was really easy."

Austin looks around from where he is standing and sees a bunch of tables in the middle of the library with stacks of books on all of them, as there are rolls on rolls of giant bookshelves filled with books on each side of the tables but doesn't see anyone in the library with the Eye's of the Eternal. 

{"Johnny has entered the throne room of the castle."}

"How much time do I have until he loses control and destroys the castle?"

{"I got about 10 minutes, so best get to move on."}

"I see, in that case."

Austin's irises turn from sapphire blue to a glowing bright red, as he activates the Eye's of the Emperor.

Austin then snaps his fingers as his shadow grows larger around him.

As 10 clones of himself come out of his shadow.

{"Making clones now. Seems like you're in a rush."}

"If Johnny destroys this Kingdom in the next 10 minutes and I have not done all my research over this world in that time. I will kill him, and the God that is giving him his fucking plot armor."

Austin walks over and grabs a book off of one of the tables next to him.

"So, making clones of me, that should get things done the fastest, so I don't have to do that, yet."

{"Yet? Are you planning on killing him."}

"No. Well, not any time soon at least. Johnny can at least be a distraction for me, as I do this in the shadows."

{"What about the other Hero."}

"Alex? Well, he is a little more useful in his own right, but at the same time. I can do things on my own if need be."

{"Seems to me, that you don't like trusting others."}

"You're not wrong there. I only trust the ones that will be useful to me in the long run. I hate putting my fate into someone that is incompetent and is always unhinged."

{"I see, I think I am understanding you better now."}

"That is insuring to hear."

As Austin clones start to grab books off of different bookshelves and instantly start to read them, hoping to gain more knowledge and history or the world, as one of them noticed the front door to the library start to open.

The clone quickly transfers the information to Austin.

{"Did you get that?"}

"Yeah. I did."

Austin activates Eye's of the Eternal to see who is coming into the library.

As Austin sees through the bookshelves towards the door, he sees 5 knights enter the library.

("Why are there knights coming to the library? Do they not have something better to do?")

{"Who knows."}

("Is Johnny not attacking the castle right now?")

{"Yes, he is in the throne room as we speak."}

("Then why now out of all times. I swear this world is just throwing shit at me now. I guess i can have one of the clones take care of them then.")

{"No, not yet. He has not done much to gain the attention that you want him to gain. But maybe because the one behind the knights is the reason why the knights are here."}

As Austin continues looking through the bookshelves at the door, he sees a boy wearing a black and blue suit, with a long red fur coat, with a green tie to finish off his outfit. 

The boy has long black hair, green eyes with long eyelashes, and slightly pale skin. As he walks like he is the most important person here.

("Well, doesn't he have something up his ass.")

{"That is an odd thing to say about a prince."}

Austin's eyes opened widely with a shock look on his face.

("He is the fucking prince?")

{"Yes. Could you not tell?"}

"What do you mean, could I not tell?"

{"I might what I said. Could you not? You're using the Eye's of the Eternal, they allow you to see through everything, but you can also read things stats to, or did you forget?"}

"No, I remember. I just can care less. When it comes to things like names, and stuff like that. Now abilities are what I am looking for."

Austin uses the Eye's of the Eternal to scan the prince.

"And of course he has to have a stupid rich boy name."

{"Name: Richard Conor Louis Topwells V. 

Age: 16

Height: 5'6

Hair Color: Black."}

"Okay, I don't need to know the guy's profile."

{"Understood. It seems like some humans have long names. Does that mean anything?"}

"No, to be honest. The longer the name the more stupid it gets, but that is my opinion."

{"I see."}

"Who there?"

Both knights enter the library after hearing Austin's voice in the background.

("Well shit. I forgot I was speaking out loud.")

{"Do you want me to take care of them?"}

("No, I prefer not to kill without a good reason to.")

Two knights walk around a bookshelf and see Austin standing there with a book in his hand.

Both knights draw their blades and stand on the defensive as they ask Austin some questions.

"Hey you there. Why did you not answer when we called out?"

"I don't why you're asking him that, the real question is. What are you doing in the forbidden library? This is only meant for the royal family and the high ranking priest."

"I had no idea it was forbidden."

Austin glances down.

("Did you know it was forbidden, Ragnarok?")

{"I mean, you never asked if it was or was not."}

Austin shakes his head with disappointment.

("Next time tell me.")

{"You got it boss."}

"Hey, why are you shaking your head at us?"

"Do you think we will not cut you down where you stand?"

"What is with you guys? Always wanting to fight, no matter what. And this time I actually didn't do anything wrong. Well, I didn't know I did something wrong."

{"Yeah, don't know if you're getting out of this one."}

("I don't need you adding your two cents.")

Austin puts down the book back on the table and looks back at the knights.

Both knights look at each other and nod their heads before looking back at Austin.

"We will have Prince Richard decide what we should do with you."

"So, follow us and you might be left off with just a warning."

{"They seem to be nice."}

("We both know that a warning is the meaning of death.")

{"You have a good point there."}

"Alright, I guess I will follow."

"Good."

Austin follows the knights up the stairs and past the door to the library where Prince Richard is standing with his arms crossed.

"About time you two come back. I thought you ran for it. I was going to have you both killed."

Both knights kneel in front of the Prince.

"No, my Prince. We heard something in the library, so we checked it out and we found this man."

"He was reading some of the books, my Prince."

"Is that so?"

Prince Richard looks at Austin with a disappointed look on his face.

Austin rolls his eyes before speaking to Ragnarok.

("I have a bad feeling about this one.")

{"It can't be that bad."}
