Rebirth Of Abium 57 Chapter 57: Cobra?

Abium and Lily dashed towards the royal castle's direction and reached the entrance in a few minutes.

'Why there is no one guarding the entrance?' No guard was standing at the entrance as some n.o.bles fleeing towards their carriage with a panicking expression.

While other n.o.bles stood a few meters outside the castle and shouting at the royal guards, royal guards were trying to appease those n.o.bles, but It was no use.

Abium deeply frowned then glanced around the surroundings.

'Where did they went?' He searched for Helena and Baron, but they seem to be gone somewhere. As he was pondering about this, a female voice came from behind.

"Baron Abium, What are you doing here?" He quickly shifted his gaze towards that direction and spotted a figure walking towards his direction.

"Baron Wido! I am searching for Baron Auguinare and the blonde-haired girl."

"Oh? I also haven't seen them." When Baron Wido finished his words, a strong elemental fluctuation came from the other side.

'Fight?' Abium's eyes narrowed. After he advanced to an official tier mage, his understanding of the elements had grown to an unimaginable level.

"BOOM!"

Suddenly, the air surrounding the castle began to vibrate, followed by a booming sound. With no delay, he rushed towards there at a faster pace while Lily followed him behind.

Soon, they entered the banquet hall that was guarded by royal guards and ran further into the corridor. Well, no guards didn't even have any time to stop them due to the energy causing others to even breath harder.

'It's corrupted mana!' He sped even faster, and soon, a scene of greenery began to be visible up in front of their eyes. Abium knew where that royal treasury was located, so he dashed towards that direction. Before long, a large metal gate appeared.

It was a restricted area, and even some royal family members were not allowed.

Abium signaled Lily to follow him, and both hides behind a pillar then observed what was happening in front of them. Soon, he found where that explosion came from and regained his composure.

"BOOM!" Another metallic sound explosion heard.

In front of that gate, Former king Lucius stood there while attacking the gate using his long sword. Behind Lucius were 20 warriors with swords hanging on their waist. But what made narrowed his eyes was Helena and baron stood there among them like military soldiers.

'What the h.e.l.l are these two doing here? It's not an opponent even I could face.' Abium cursed them in his mind and clenched his jaws.

A few minutes ago in Banquet hall,

Helena stood there with a dumbfounded expression as the former king left the banquet hall while muttering something. As she was about to ask Abium what happened, she noticed he was nowhere to be found.

'Huh? Where did he go?'

"Camilla, did you see where Abium went?" She whispered to her sister's ear.

"Hmm, Yes. I saw! I saw him. He moved like a cat towards that gate and suddenly poof. Disappeared."

'Ha! Again he went on his own, huh!' Deep frown appeared.

In the next instant, d.u.c.h.ess Margery followed where her father went and along with a few knights.

"Where Is that young lad?" Baron woke up from the stupor and asked.

"I think he went on his own somewhere, my lord. What should we do now?"

"What Is there to think? We are the protectors of this kingdom, and we are going after his Majesty to find out who is the enemy. From the way his majesty dashed out of the room, I think he must have found out something about this incident. Let's follow him."

"My Lord, what if Abi comes here and search for us?" She didn't enjoy helping the royal family and thought of an excuse.

"Oh! Then tell Camilla to stay here with that Lady Roysia. She will also take care of your sister's safety."

She nodded with worry and shifted her gaze to Camilla.

"Sister, you don't have to worry about my safety. I will be fine." Camilla said and flew towards Roysia, who stood a few meters away, ordering royal guards.

"Lady Roysia. Please take care of my sister until we return."

"Don't worry. I will take care of this child." Roysia waved at them and shifted her gaze to Camilla. Soon, some n.o.bles, Helena, Baron Auguinare, followed Margery, who was hastily walking out of the room towards the corridor.

Within a minute, the group reached the garden and shifted their gaze towards the Chapel. Helena noticed the gate appears locked from the inside, and Former King Lucius attacked madly with his long sword to break that gate.

'Ha! It's a metal gate, and you want to cut it open with your measly sword?' She covered her mouth in one hand.

"Father, What happened?!" Meanwhile, Margery walked near to Former king Lucius and asked.

"Somebody entered inside the chapel, and I don't know how they did that."

"What?! Isn't our guardian spirit only allow my brother and you inside?"

"That's what I am also wondering."

"What happened to those royal mages? Why didn't they still came here?" Margery had a bad feeling about this.

"Hmm, I also waiting for their reply, but no response came back. Get back, Margery; I am going to break this gate." Margery leaning inward at her father reply and shifted her gaze towards others.

"Ready your weapons. When the enemy comes out, then attack with everything you got okay?"

"Yes. Your highness." All warriors replied in unison.

Meanwhile, Helena glanced around and noticed Margery walked near to her and started taking out something from her spatial ring.

'Is she also going to join the battle?' She pondered for a second before sensing something wrong with the air.

'Hm? It's like iron mixed in the air.' Soon her eyes searched everywhere and finally landed on the top of that metallic gate. Her expression froze.

"What the h.e.l.l?" She saw four headless bodies hanging on the top of that gate. The enemy appears decapitated those mages leaving no scarlet blood stained the gate or the white wall. From her experience, she could tell it was not a human who killed those guys.

'It was like the enemy ripped their heads off.'

"Royal Mages! d.a.m.n even they also died, huh?" Margery's worrisome voice echoed. Soon, others also stared with wide gaped eyes.

"That's what making me feel more anxious."

Meanwhile, Abium stood there a few meters away from them while looking upward. But he was not worrying looking at those headless bodies but towards the sky. Still, there were no changes that appeared up in the sky made him frown.

'I though mages are on their way, but there is no sign at all!' He had to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

Next instant, Abium's eyes flickered a little, and a small spiritual wave came out from his body. It scanned the whole area but couldn't get cross that metal gate made him frown deeper. He shifted his gaze and observed the strength of that small squad.

'Most of their strength is the fifth tier and fourth tier. Helena is the only one with the lowest strength while the highest is Former King Lucius, huh!' Abium noticed Margery stood near to Helena made him relaxed a bit.

'I don't have to worry about her safety.'

Soon, he heard a discussion from the front and startled.

"Your majesty, do you have any guess who the enemy is? What they were after?" A royal guard asked.

"No! But I guessed they are after a Stone Tablet. I don't know what's in that, but I definitely knew the enemy is after that."

'Stone tablet, huh? What so special about that?'

'Azolla, Do you know anything about these stone tablets?'

'Hmm, Some stone tablets may contain scripts of an unknown word or that contains mysterious power. Oh! That's explain everything. Otherwise, that snake demon lord would never allow one of her elite soldiers to come here.' Her reply startled him.

Demon lord? He had heard of that name in the past. The whole invasion was organized by three demon lords and one devil king.

And one of the demon Lord was Sith, also called as the evil G.o.ddess of snakes. Although in the past, she and heavenly kings had made no personal appearance and only some low-rank demons invaded here. But even so, those normal demons managed to topple the whole continent.

'How did you know it was the demon lord's elite soldier?'

'I made a guess when I saw that divinity shard you picked up the earlier kid.'

Soon, Abium fell into deep thought.

'You mean it is snake G.o.ddess's divine shard?'

'Yes. Only Sith and two other demon lords have madness domain.'

'Then she would definitely monitor our movements here, right?'

'It's possible, kid. I am surprised you still keeping calm expression. But don't worry even if she monitors what is happening here from her realm, she doesn't have any authority here.'

Yes, he almost forgot the G.o.ds were still protecting this plane.

'So can you guess what is the strength of this demon?'

'That's a tough question. Although that snake's avatar strength is restricted here because of planar suppression, still it's going to be a difficult battle. From my guess, it's stats must be around 10 to 20.'

He sucked in a cold breath.

'So, what about him?' Abium said as he glances at the Former king, who was showing a bitter expression. Next instant, a notification icon popped out in front of his eyes, showing strength, agility, and vitality status as 10.4, 11.0, and 10.5.

'Oh! So the one who can have some strength to resist that snake is him, huh?' And all other strengths were around 5 to 10 made him realize they were no match at all.

'Even if he is a seventh tier warrior, he is still a mortal kid. Hmm, If he battled against that snake for over two minutes, then he will die.' Abium listened to Azolla and frowned.

'Screech.'

A loud screeching sound echoed as everyone gulped down their saliva and turned their gaze towards that metallic gate.

'BAM.'

The metal gate began to open.

"HISS!" "***** ******** *******"

A hissing sound and an unknown weird sound came. Shortly, everyone saw a 3 meters large red-colored snake came from that metal gate. It raised its head and peered at all of them with interest.

Next, its form began to change and formed into a humanoid figure. It had a cobra head having four arms and wearing a necklace of three skulls floated in the air.

'Elite Snake demon, huh!'

'That cobra headed demon's strength is equal to a greater demon, kid. Be careful of its eyes, kid. It can confuse your mind with a simple glance.'

Azolla's warning sound echoed inside his mind.

"That's the snake I saw with Iskax. Its name is Susur. That's what Iskax called earlier. But I didn't know it could transform into a monster like this." Lily muttered to Abium.

The mere presence of that creature gave everyone chills. The next second that greater demon floated a meter up in the air and sent a spiritual wave towards every direction.

At the same moment, the communication rune circle on his robe flickered. Abium touched it with his hand, and a voice came from his robe.

"Abium, can you hear me?" A middle-aged man's voice echoed from those rune circles. Abium instantly recognized it was teacher Zivior.

"Yes, sir."

"Good. Do you still remember Lady Tabitha? It's that old hag you met in the auction house."

"Who are you calling old hag b.a.s.t.a.r.d? I am two years younger than you remember." Another voice echoed from that communication rune.

"Listen, kid. We still haven't broken this dimension lock spell. So, I requested her to aid you. She will be there in a minute, so hang in there."

"But I don't think I could hold off against that demon, sir. h.e.l.lo?"

Again the signal got cut off, but this time, at least he heard what he needed to hear. Abium peeked from the pillars and observed at that snake. Meanwhile, it looked around in a puzzled expression and fell into deep thought.

Soon, the snake's expression turned into a frown and shifted his gaze towards Lucius and others. Abium and Lily watched it with anxious-looking eyes. He also noticed the soldiers began to shake in fear and even started to tremble.

"****** ****** ****." Susur spoke to them in an unknown language and punched the air.

'Crack!'

s.p.a.ce itself began to crack and an empty black void visible to everyone's eyes. Soon, that demon moves one of its right hand inside that crack then took out something. A large black broadsword appeared in its grasp.

'Another artifact?'

Abium quickly sent a minute spiritual wave and scanned that creature and that sword. But Abium furrowed his eyebrow as he couldn't able to see any information on that broadsword.

All the stats were over 13, and agility even went up to 14.6!

'could they able to hold this demon till Tabitha come to rescue?' He doesn't know. All he can do was to pray that she would come sooner. Otherwise, he had only one option. It was to grab Helena and baron then flew from here.

'There is no way in h.e.l.l I'm going to battle this demon alone!' He knew how hard it was to face against a greater demon. That greater demon Kolgath's face appeared in front of his mind, and he shivered a little inside.

Meanwhile, a different thought runs through Helena's mind.

'What the h.e.l.l? No one said we would battle against some monster!' She secretly cursed the baron who proudly said, 'We are the protectors of this kingdom. We are going after his Majesty to find out who is the enemy.' She doesn't even know where Abium ran off to and thought it would be better if he were around. But she shook that idea.

'Even if he here, the result will be the same.' Her eyes went towards that snake creature.

'Focus!'

She needs to focus on now; otherwise, she might die here. But her main concern was not that. It was about her sister. She told her to stay with that knight lady Roysia but who can predict what would happen if Helena dies here. What if these n.o.bles would try to capture her? As she was racking her brain about what to do, her eyes observed that the Lucius.

'f.u.c.k! He is going to attack that creature! d.a.m.n you, old b.a.s.t.a.r.d. You are going to provoke that snake.'

She watched that former king Lucius send his warrior Qi into his sword, and golden aura formed around his sword.
