Chapter 95: Public execution

"Hey Elliot, long time no see, what have you been up to these days?"

"Eh not much, I just want to escape my house" he shrugged

"So you come to see a public execution? I don't think that's the best way to deal with your free time"

"So why did you refuse the medal?" he asked "Caleb would've been so happy to get it and dedicate it to his goddess or whatever, capturing one of the bosses of a terrorist group is no easy feat"

"I would prefer to have money instead, but I can't sell the medal now, can't I?"

-Keep a look out guys, the chances of the organization interfering with us is high-

-I see nothing so far- Diana replied as she was high up in the air scouting for us

*Several days ago*

"That's your goal? To sacrifice a whole kingdom using forbidden magic to summon a demon to help you rule the world?"

"So how will you sacrifice a whole kingdom? None of you have enough power to do that" Damon asked

"I don't know how it will work" she panted "Milo and Silas are the one in charge, I'm mostly in charge of the business side of things"

"Elaborate"

"I was in charge of getting money, backers, and resources. I usually do them through trades, slavery and shady deals with corrupt noble households" she answered

-Ask her for her back-up plan if they were to fail- Dabria suggested

"So what happens if you fail to summon your demon or whatever, will the lives you sacrificed be for nothing?"

"Yes, it will be fo-" she answered but then her body glowed red and she then howled in pain

"Tell us the truth, unless you want more pain"

"It's to summon a weapon that has the power of a god!" she shouted as it then glowed blue signifying that she was telling the truth

"Which god?" Damon asked

"The god of ice" she replied taking deep breaths to relieve herself from pain

-Does our kingdom really have to kill her?- Albert asked

-Yes, it is necessary to send a message of what happens when you commit treacherous and horrible crime- Aenon answered

-You will have to get used to it, Albert, I'm a goddess and you see it through my memories, I've seen a lot of my own followers come and go, it's the law of life, we cannot be scared of death- Helena comforted

"Headmaster, there are no signs of the criminal organization anywhere" Professor Steel reported

"Not even any sign of any rituals or anyone suspicious attempting to rescue one of their leaders?" Anthony Magus asked

"No sir, what about on Professor William's side?"

"Nothing odd either, I've sent professor Blue, professor White and professor Woods to guard my nephew, they also reported that nothing odd is happening, something is not right here"

"We have professor Green on standby, she's one of the best healers out there, if anything happens, she can surely take care of it" Professor Steel reassured "Besides we doubt that they'll be able to make a big move during such an important event"

"Let's hope you're right professor Steel, let's hope you're right"

| You're jinxing it, you know |

1st person view

The king was making a speech about Leona, one of the co-founders of the red sword, how the kingdom despises terrorist like them and her execution was meant to be used as an example.

-They should've not brought people here, if they actually decided to attack, a lot of lives will be lost- Siege said

-Well they don't want the people to panic so I understand their reasons- Ace replied -Besides they brought lesser people than this venue can hold so it's not like they're reckless either-

-I see it!- Diana reported in after a while

-Where are they doing?-

-Several people are holding pills in their hands, they're the corrupted pills, I won't be able to stop them all!- she replied

-Guys prepare for a fight- I said as I got out Dream Eater

Several large roars were heard, several people in the crowd has started to turn into corrupteds, not just people but some magic beast were within the crowds as well. Then there was an earthquake, in the distance, we see 7 stone pillars surrounding the kingdom as purple light illuminated under our feet.

-The corrupted are meant to stop us from getting to the pillars- Damon commented

-Well there are knights and mages around here right? Let's just let them do it and head for the pillars, Damon you take on pillar, Diana, you provide support for the people here against the corrupteds, kill Leona if they are about to rescue her, me, Ace, and Siege will also head for one of the other stone pillars-

We then went to do our jobs, we've arrived at one of the pillars and saw it being guarded by a huge number of mages and swordsman.

"It's the kid with the dragon bond!" a goon shouted out

"And he doesn't have a dragon with him, let's kill him and take his dragon for our boss, we'll get free promotion" another one replied

-They're looking down on us too much- Siege got into his stance

-This is going to be so much fun- Ace grinned

-Time to fight at full power with that new dhampir body of yours- Dabria joined in

"If you think I only rely on Damon to fight my fights, you're sorely mistaken" I laughed
