The Ruler Of Gilead 45 The King Arrives! Pt 2

Turning back to look at the Emperor, then to survey the room once more, he decided it was time to address these people. Walking back to the long table he took the seat at the opposing end staring at Emperor Vanya. Facing the room with his team at his back, it now appeared he sat at the head of the table!

"Emperor Vanya, to me it was only 4 days ago I saw you as a child and watched you grow up. I remember you and the previous Emperor at Kata's and my wedding. The young Emperor, aiming to be me…"

It was now time for Emperor Vanya to be shocked to his feet!

"Yes, one and the same. Many hundreds of years have pa.s.sed. But how DARE YOU TRY TO MARRY MY WIVES OFF!!"

BANG!!

Slamming his fist on the table as his pupils started turning RED! At that moment his wives walked over to him and Lagina started rubbing his shoulders gently to calm him down.

The room watched as his rage bubbled but slowly simmered to a cool as his attentive wives calmed him down. In wonder, they stared at them and Vanya was no different, as he was at a loss for words watching his daughters tend to Hittan like the good wife, conflicted.

"But I can forgive this, as you were unaware and acted out of the goodwill of your heart, for the sake of… Gilead. As for you four, I can forgive your ignorance on this matter but the other issue may cost you your lives!"

"What do you mean our lives? How have we offended your Village?" As General Abbe spoke he eyed Cadman.

"I have no clue what he's talking about!" Responding to Abbe stare Cadman defended himself.

"You four have offended my wife! I'm not sure exactly what you did but the feelings she's sharing with me each time she looks at you is one of anger! Lagina, what did they do?"

At that moment the whole room looked to Lagina with interest as she was about to give her testimony.

"They… honey, please don't overreact okay. They…"

"We mistakenly threw wine at her, but we thought she was the maid! We never intended to disrespect her like that!" Nervously, Cadoc offered his version of the truth before Lagina could explain.

"Really, you didn't intend to throw wine in my face? I'm surprised that at your strength level I could sneak up on you in an open garden area." Trying to cover up the problem by lying angered Lagina even further and pushed her to completely shut down their storey. But realising that she may have triggered Hittan she immediately got in front of him to rea.s.sure him it was a minor issue and he didn't need to kill anyone.

"I was upset in the moment but I'm fine now, see?"

"I won't kill them, rest a.s.sured. But they will have to be taught a lesson for their crimes."

"If not for the Village behind you, do you think you could have such confidence before us?! You claim to be Gilead himself, but what I see is a weak little boy who is living off the strength of others!" Unable to take the repeated insults and utter disregard by an unknown boy that was no older than 6 years old Cadman snapped!

"General!" As Vanya made the attempt to stop the General Hittan simply raised his hands to stop him.

"I see. Like father like son. As for you General Abbe, what say you on this matter? Do you also agree with General Cadman?"

"I will have to revisit disciplinary actions within the clan. It seems I have truly let my daughter down."

"You at least know how to correct a mistake and do the honourable thing. But I'll be handling the disciplinary actions in this situation. Emperor Vanaya, let us take this little meeting to the sky as I would hate to have my wife's legacy damaged."

"Do you really think your mere 2,562,500 units of power amplified by any hidden means will be enough to beat either of us? Haha!" Cadoc proudly dismissed Hittan power level.

The members of his team behind him were shocked to hear that his base power was already 2.5 million units! A level of power that he achieved after re-living 7 plus years of his Alicorn life gaining the full understanding of the Light elemental power.

"Boy, do not interrupt a King when he speaks unless you're willing to put your clan's extinction on the line."

The advice was something Cadman himself had to agree with as he saw that Emperor Vanya was extremely displeased with his son's outburst!

Bowing to the Emperor, Cadman was the first to stand and walk to the balcony with his son close behind him.

…

With the entire group now floating in the sky. Cadoc and Cairo were discussing who would face Hittan first and whether or not there would be a need for a second fight!

"Cadoc, I'll go first. I doubt he can muster enough strength for me to release all my abilities. Ever since I broke through to the Demi - G.o.dbeast rank no one has been able to match me in our age group, except for you."

"Yes, it's been hard finding people strong enough to match us, since our advancement."

"You seem to be mistaken about something, young ones. I do not plan to waste my time by fighting with you one on one. Both of you step forward and unleash your full strength or you will die."

BANG!

BANG!

Before his words could leave his lips of a now fading image, the two had been struck hard in the stomach and sent flying!

Forcing themselves to stop some 30 meters out, they started to take Hittan a bit more seriously. After Cairo and Cadoc summoned their weapons, pushing their fighting force enhanced power of 8,156,250 and 9,375,000 units to 11,418,750 and 13,125,000 respectively, they both made their move!

Rushing back to Hittan they presented their weapons and selected their target to attack on his body! But before they could act on their impulsive decision to underestimate Hittan once more they heard the sound of flies falling!

SWAT!!

SWAT!!

BACK HANDING THEM ACROSS THE FACE!

Their entire bodies became like spinning tops that moved swiftly through 360° of rotation!

BANG, forcing themselves to a stop 10 meters away. The reality of the situation had finally hit them!

The Generals looked at each other before looking to the Emperor in shock! Vanya simply continued to look squarely at Hittan, unblinking. While the team looked to Ragna and seemingly commonplace now for her to explain, she stated the most pressing point.

"Hittan as said before, is only at the Pseudo King rank with his base strength. But the other two are already in the Demi - G.o.dBeast ranks with their base strength. Even with their weapons, they are nothing before him. They had better stop holding back or they might die."

Wide-eyed the team turn back to the fight and watched as both Cairo and Cadoc's bodies started to turn into mineral structures representing their core elements! A feature unique to Demi - G.o.dbeast ranks and higher!

Pushing their power to their absolute limit they activated the MOF from their Vice-Prime legacies!

BANG

Boasting new levels of power with 17,219,475 units for Cairo and 19,792,500 units for Cadoc!

BANG!!!

"STILL NOT ENOUGH!" Hittan shouted after burying his fist into Cairo's stomach! Shattering his Emerald Body and his core mineral!!

"You are not qualified to be her family member, boy!" Watching him fall from the sky, Cadoc finally caught sight of fright, as his future fell in the form of Cairo!

"NOOO!" Abbe rushed to catch his son and looked at Hittan in anger!

"The next time, learn to be a better father." Was the last thing he heard as he held his now crippled son in his arms, hindered by shock and fear of what or who was behind Hittan's back, the Village!

Sky walking towards Cadoc even Cadman started to feel his nerves tighten for his son! Because he, like the rest of the people observing, also knew that Hittan had not shown the telltale signs of a member from that village. His Mythic Origin Body and much less, his weapon!

"Fear has gripped you boy and in these telling moments do you have anything to say?"

"I didn't mean to throw wine in her face! It was a mistake!"

Stopping before Cadoc he grabbed him by the throat!

"You have yet to offer a sincere apology to my wife but you want leniency? Has your pride seeped into your bones causing you to lose what little decorum you should have in the presence of my Queen?"

"Stop! Don't you dare cripple my son or I'll forego any implications and kill you where you stand, boy!!"

Looking at the enraged General Cadman, Hittan squinted.

"Truly, like father like son." Looking back to Cadoc to see a slight smile hoping his father would save him.

"Offer your apology in the next life." With that Hittan struck his left chest with his Phoenix Fist!

BANG!!

Shattering his heart! Dead, his father watched him fall.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!!"

"Why? Have I not granted your wish and spared his cultivation?"
