Sieging Tian Wu Kingdoms Palace!

Yue Yang had talked his way into the princesses carriage as the guards turned around with renewed hope to claim revenge for their liege. It wasn't only Yue Yang's Power they believed in, but the power of his servant was also high as an advanced Overlord. Mr. Chong of course wasn't going to let them know that he had been power leveled with pills not to long ago, he was basking in the attention. While in the carriage Yue Yang met the only surviving prince, Tian Wu Zhou.

The prince was only seven years old and had contracted his grimoire just three days prior to the coup. Yue Yang was surprised at his age and considered raising him alongside Yue Feng as future war potential. After learning the princes guardian beast and inherent skill, he even cursed the fates that would cause such a genius to die early and unknown. The Metal Ant Queen despite being a normal ranked beast had the defensive abilities of a silver ranked beast at the same level, and his Defense Link Inherent Skill to the pure defense type strengthening beast and a Metal Ant Soldier it had laid and you could boost the defenses to that of a pure defensive gold ranked beast. This kind of beast was far below something like the Hercules Beetle, but with the Defense Link Skill it could easily become the pinnacle of defensive type beasts. As for the princesses their guardian beasts were both Holy Doves, Special type beasts that excelled at healing and other holy powers. Their inherent skills were also the same Cheer inherent skill which boosts the targets abilities by 5% per level and if used on the same person it increases by 15% per level.

Yue Yang was truly shocked that the small Tian Wu kingdom had produced these three geniuses that were swallowed up by history. He definitely had to raise them up and not at all because he was hoping to add twin angels to his harem. Thinking about it, between Tirani and Red he would have two winged beauties already, he should spread his harem candidates features out a little more, maybe raise a giant dragon girl?

After journeying several days back towards the castle they were met with a heavily armed brigade of rebels at the gates who were dead set on not letting them in. Yue Yang payed them no mind as he pulled out three Summoning crystals and released a Black Iron Lizard King, Exploding Seed Pumpkin and Mountain Ogre King, all Gold 10 Beasts. Darla was horrified that he could casually take out such high level gold beasts, though the lights in the twin's and prince's eye brightened as they watch the giant fire breathing pumpkin with a carved looking face spew out three seeds that blew the gate open and scattered the rebel force. Yue Yang summoned and mounted his White Rider as he guided the carriage through the gate with the guards and Mr. Chong guarding on different sides. The two other beasts charged into the scattered enemies once the Exploding Seed Pumpkin used up all its energy. The Lizard King started swallowing every human it could like a starving ghost and the Mountain Ogre charged into battle with a body slam that shook the whole castle as the 15 meter tall beast slammed into the ground.

Yue Yang kept the path open as he lead the way into the palace, eventually they had to dismount and leave the carriage behind as they made their way to the throne room. Yue Yang mentally sighed as he saw the crinkly old bastard sitting on the throne with a fairly beautiful blue haired woman bound in chains with a sword on her throat. There were of course a few more people, but he didn't pay attention to them as he preemptively pointed his spear at the man on the throne.

"I don't get it, for just a little bit of power you sacrificed your vitality and shortened your life by decades. Is sitting on the throne for ten years really worth that much to you?" Yue Yang sighed at the man as he shook his head at the old guy.

"What would you know brat! I was the crown prince, I should have been king! That bastard was just a little more talented than me, why should he be king while I have nothing!" The old man removed is sword from the queens neck and waved it around while shouting madly. He would have continued if Yue Yang didn't interrupt him.

"Alright enough of your self pity party, boo hoo." Yue Yang grimaced at the old bastard, it was unbelievable to him that this fellow was so stupid and jealous. "Let's just settle this fast shall we, I don't give a damn about the life story of trash like you." Before the old man could respond Yue Yang released Slave One from a Summoning crystal and commanded it to protect the hostages, after which he directly charged at the old bastard with his gold ranked riding lance in hand.

He only released his strength up to the 5th Level Grandmaster and swung his overly long pole arm deftly while using Solo Dance of Eclipse. He danced around his foe as they repeatedly traded blows with Yue Yang pretending to get the short end on power as he stored his momentum and slowly reduced the level of strength he was releasing. This caused the old bastard to believe that he was quickly losing strength under his fierce attacks and as the old bastard smiled and started to rant, Yue Yang vanished from his sight. Yue Yang had released part of his stored momentum to jump high into the air and throw his lance from the sky towards the old man, who barely dodged out of the way.

The now wounded old man gasped as he tried to put pressure on the wound on his left chest. If he hadn't moved in time that lance would have pierced through his shoulder to his heart. Grimacing at the pain, the old man snarled at the falling Yue Yang as he readied his sword to cut the youth.

As he fell Yue Yang wrote seven Runes in the air.

{Malice, Condense, Law, Return, Heart, Release, Death} {9th Circle} {Judgement of The Slain}

As the nine ancient Runes formed into a complex circle a white mist quickly gathered obscuring everyone. Yue Yang easily escaped the blind sword swings as he waited for the spell to kick in. And kick in it did as the old man began crying out as the fog condensed into 13 figures of the royal family that he had killed recently. The old man screamed in madness as he tried to cut down the ghost of his younger brother again only for his blade to constantly pass through. The old king just shook his head as he pulled out a sword from his waist and cut through the old man, killing not his physical body, but his soul.

Yue Yang personally didn't like the Rune spell he had just used, but he had several reasons for using it this time. First to bring peace to the unjustly killed, Second to bring peace to those still living and third, to thoroughly end the stupid old bastard. Even though the spell directly attacked the soul like Doom Eyes, it wasn't as powerful, so its usability was even lower than the random chance Skill as well. His goal with developing soul attack skills is to discover Runes that could benefit Ah Man's Doom Eyes.

After looking at the dumbstruck faces of those around him he realized he might have shown off to much. Well he would deal with it later as he let the surviving members of the royal family talk with the recently deceased spirits he had conjured so that last words and whatnot could be shared. He recalled Slave One and the three creatures he had left to rampage at the gates and slowly waited for things to settle down while ignoring the distrust and killing intent coming towards him from Darla. He would take offense if her worry wasn't founded. While the Queen wasn't as beautiful as her daughters she was still sexy enough for Yue Yang to want to make her and Darla into concubines. What was his separator for wives and concubines one may ask? 9-10's were wife material and 7-8's were concubines. Yue Yang ended up staying in the palace for a week taking care of the business of being a mooch, as the royal family and the council were crazily trying to prevent the country from falling apart. In that time his targets had all received various 'gifts.'
