The explosion in one of the luxurious inns in the Cirlus Kingdom caught the soldiers' attention on guard around the area. They quickly gathered and found out the cause of the explosion.
Fortunately, King Redis and Queen Triana survived the explosion. Queen Triana quickly created a barrier when the golden-haired man made his attack. But their faces became gloomy because they felt the explosion was enough to kill them.
"Hahaha… as expected of a genius mage of the Demon Kingdom. You can respond to a surprise attack like that perfectly." The golden-haired man laughed as if enjoying the reactions of King Redis and Queen Triana.
"Who are you? Why did you suddenly attack me!?" King Redis narrowed his eyes. He felt furious at being suddenly attacked like that. He wanted to finish off the golden-haired man immediately. But he knew the man was no ordinary person. King Redis also wanted to know the identity of that person.
"I am Fornius, from the 'God Domain'. Coincidentally, I have a base in the sea area of the Demon Kingdom. As I recall, I never interfered with your kingdom, did I? But instead, you invaded my place and made all my research material escape. So that you know, I'm a very vindictive person. I came to this place all the way to look for you." The smile on Fornius' face suddenly disappeared and was replaced with an angry face. The sky above the inn darkened as it was covered in thunderclouds.
"Ooh…so you're from that terrorist organization, huh? No wonder when you come, you immediately blow up an inn. So, you're the mastermind behind that magical beast horde? Could it be that you are also the one who attacked the Demon Kingdom? If that's the case, I won't hesitate to destroy you." King Redis took out a large black sword from his space storage. It was a demon lord's sword passed down from generation to generation. That sword is one of the Saint-Rank artifacts in the Clorius continent.
"You're not stupid. I did all that. But, do you intend to destroy me with that toy of yours?" Fornius looks disinterested in the sword used by King Redis. He quickly acknowledges everything that King Redis asked him.
"You'll know once you feel it. Please help me, my wife. I feel that this person is not easy." King Redis' face turned serious. He gripped the sword tightly with both hands.
"I understand. We do as usual." Queen Triana immediately understood what King Redis meant. She also felt the same way about Fornius. If they weren't careful, they might die in that fight.
"Okay, I'll start." King Redis instantly unleashed his full power. He opened eight aura seals in the shape of a horned skull. The thick purple aura on his body raged, creating shockwaves and swirls of a violent wind.
King Redis suddenly disappeared and reappeared before Fornius, already swinging his sword. But Fornius dodged that attack easily as if it was nothing.
King Redis was not surprised and seemed to have expected it. He keeps attacking Fornius slowly and unhurriedly. When Fornius was about to dodge King Redis's next attack, he suddenly frowned as a group of crows blocked his view. King Redis unhesitatingly slashed at Fornius and the crow. But Fornius avoided it by a thin margin.
"Hmm… your cooperation is great. Fighting a Sword Saint and a Sage at the same time is a bit of a hassle, but your strength is still not enough." Fornius muttered and kept his distance from King Redis. But it looks like their attack is still not finished. A woman's voice suddenly sounded in Fornius' ears.
[Shadow Binding]
The shadow under Fornius' feet suddenly came to life and turned into a tentacle and then wrapped around him. The tentacles lock the movement of Fornius.
[Meteor Impact]
A huge fireball appeared and fell right at Fornius. Queen Triana continuously attacked Fornius and did not give him time to breathe.
Booooooooommmmm!
King Redis couldn't believe that Fornius would lose so quickly. He gathered his aura into his demon lord sword. A thick purple aura enveloped his sword, and then he swung it towards Fornius.
[Evil God Slash]
A thick purple aura blade shot towards Fornius and destroyed everything in its path, including the residents' houses. It was one of his strongest attacks. He felt he had to attack Fornius with full force to kill him.
Booooommmmmmmm!
Fornius was hit a second time. But king Redis and Queen Triana still couldn't calm down. They believed that their combined attacks could injure him but not kill him. So, they had to confirm Fornius' condition for their next plan of attack.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated in the wind. King Redis and Queen Triana could see Fornius' figure there. King Redis and Queen Triana were shocked to see him. What they thought turned out to be wrong. Fornius stood there calmly unharmed. A golden aura accompanied by sparks of golden lightning enveloped his body.
"Hahaha…is that your full power? If so, you two let me down. I thought you guys would cheer me up more before I kill you. But you are weak." Fornius disappeared after saying his last sentence. He appeared in front of king Redis and punched him in the face.
[ThunderGod Punch]
The fist covered in golden lightning compression enchanted King Redis hundreds of meters and ended up being buried in the ruins of a resident's house.
Booooooooooooommmmmm!
"My husband!" Queen Triana screamed hysterically when she saw King Redis hit by a direct attack from Fornius.
"How dare you do that to my husband!" Queen Triana's face is distorted. She felt angry at what Fornius had done to her husband. She unlocked her eight magic circles. The thick mana shrouds the body of Queen Triana. In contrast to King Redis, the mana around her was extremely calm and terrifying.
[Space Explosion]
Fornius frowned. He felt something strange, and the space around him felt heavier and denser. He intended to leave the place, but it was too late. The space around Fornius exploded without him knowing the cause. Explosion after the explosion occurred and finally swallowed Fornius in the middle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosion got bigger and bigger and spread to the surrounding area. Queen Triana didn't seem to have any intention of stopping her attack. Queen Triana compresses the space around Fornius and uses her mana to detonate it. The attack is very difficult to detect because it is invisible and explodes suddenly. The spell was one of her strongest attacks. She was feared and respected in the Demon Kingdom because of that spell.
"Stop it, my wife." King Redis woke up from the ruins of the building that had buried him. His entire body was covered in wounds from being hit by the attack from Fornius earlier. King Redis felt a chill run down his spine at the thought that a single strike from Fornius could cause him to be injured like that. He also knew it was not Fornius' strongest attack.
"My husband! How are you? Are you seriously injured?" Queen Triana quickly approached King Redis and checked his condition. She casts her healing spell on him.
[Major Heal]
King Redis' body was enveloped in a warm pale purple light. His condition quickly improved after receiving treatment from Queen Triana.
"How is that person?" King Redis asked Queen Triana about Fornius.
"I struck him and have made sure he doesn't have time to dodge it. I'm sure he'll at least be seriously injured even if he used a strange aura that shrouded his body and resisted our first combined attack earlier." Queen Triana said confidently. If such a heavy blow hadn't hurt Fornius, he didn't know what attack would have worked on him.
"I hope so." King Redis muttered pessimistically.
"What are you saying? You know how strong my attack is." Queen Triana pouted after hearing her husband's opinion.
"I didn't underestimate the power of your attacks. I just…" King Redis' words were cut short by laughter from within the center of the explosion.
"Hahaha… You are indeed extraordinary, Silver Witch. You can even hurt me with that attack of yours." Fornius slowly walked out of place. King Redis and Queen Triana's faces became tense and full of terror after seeing Fornius come out of the center of the explosion with only minor wounds on his body.
"What are you?" King Redis narrowed his eyes. King Redis felt that even if he and his wife combined their strength and fought to the death, they would still not be able to win. The only thing he was thinking about right now was how he could escape from Fornius.
"Didn't I answer it before? Besides, I don't intend to play a question-and-answer game with you. Since you and your wife have already gone on the offensive, this time, it's my turn." Fornius stretched out his hand and pointed his palm at King Redis and Queen Triana.
[Divne Lightning Beam]
The golden laser beam shot at high speed towards King Redis and Queen Triana. The speed of the laser beam didn't even allow them to dodge or create a barrier to block it.
Boooooooooooommmmmm!
King Redis and Queen Triana were hit by Fornius' attack and blown away dozens of meters. Their bodies were covered in wounds, and it was difficult to move because many of their bones were broken. One strike from Fornius was enough to make them seriously injured like that. King Redis gritted his teeth as he realized the huge difference in strength between the two of them and Fornius.
Princess Irene and Prince Viron came to that place at such a time. Initially, they had intended to tell King Redis and Queen Triana about their situation. But they didn't expect that they see their father and mother badly injured and covered in blood because they were attacked by people they didn't know after they got there.
"Father! Mother!" Princess Irene and Prince Viron shouted worriedly at the state of King Redis and Queen Triana. They ran to their parents. Even though King Redis and Ratu Triana only think of Princess Irene as a tool, they are still the parents who raised her. Princess Irene couldn't help but feel anxious after seeing their condition like that.
King Redis and Queen Triana were shocked by the sudden appearance of Princess Irene and Prince Viron. They thought that their son and daughter were trapped in a misty area of the ocean. But they quickly came back to their senses and shouted at their two children.
"Stop! You get out of here! Head to the castle of the Cirlus Kingdom and ask King Raghnall for protection!" King Redis warned his son and daughter.
"Ooh… so those two are your children? In that case, I will kill them first." Forneus pointed his palm at Prince Viren and Princess Irene. He fired the attack he used on King Redis earlier.
[Divine Lightning Beam]
Princess Irene also created a barrier at the same time because she felt a dangerous situation when she saw Fornius pointing his palm at her.
[Twenty Layers of Barriers]
Twenty layers of barriers formed instantly before Princess irene collided with Fornius' attack.
Booooooooooooommmmmmmmmm!
Ziel had fixed the limiting power in Princess Irene's body and given her a little leeway in using that ability. Princess Irene could only create twenty layers of barriers with her current strength.
Fornius frowned, but then he smirked like he had found something interesting. That's because Princess Irene's barrier wasn't damaged at all from his attacks.
"Amazing. I didn't expect you to have a child that attracted the King and Queen of the Demon Kingdom." Fornius knows that Princess Irene is the daughter of King Redis and Queen Triana because he overheard their screams earlier.
King Redis and Queen Triana's greatest fear has finally come true. Fornius finally found out about Princess Irene's abilities. King Redis asking his son and daughter to leave prevents Princess Irene from using her abilities in front of Fornius and provoking his interest. They don't want the tools they have worked so hard to grow up to be used by other people.
"Didn't you guys listen to what I said!? Get out of here quickly!" King Redis was angry with Princess Irene, who kept quiet and didn't want to follow his orders.
"Do you think I will let her go? The three of you can die, but I will take the girl with me as compensation for what you did." Fornius strolled towards Princess Irene. But suddenly, he stopped his footsteps. He frowned as he had just heard some bad news.
Fornius flew out of place without saying anything. He left king Redis, Queen Triana, and their two children just like that.
"What happened? Why did he suddenly leave us?" Queen Triana asked confusedly.
"We don't need to think about it. The most important thing is that we must leave this kingdom immediately to avoid him before he changes his mind." King Redis tried to stand up with his body covered in wounds. Even though Fornius had left, he couldn't shake the feeling of discomfort in his heart.
Suddenly a golden light appeared out of nowhere and entered the bodies of King Redis, Queen Triana, and their two children. Their bodies trembled as they could hear Fornius' voice in the golden light.
"That is the marker I planted in you. I was able to find you even if you were hiding at the edge of the continent. With the strength of the people of the Clorius continent, you won't be able to erase or disguise the mark. I'll be right back to kill you and retrieve the child once my business is done.." Fornius' threat echoed straight into their minds.
