Chapter 16 Trap

While the three Kingdoms were preparing for battle, a storm was brewing inside the blessed land of Oden. Roan for some reason fell into a state of trance while training. Currently, there was a big vortex of light energy around him. No Knight could go near him. He was on a rampage, his energy was destroying everything around him.

" We need to inform the lord, only he can save him." said one of the knights.

"Yes, you are the fastest of us, you need to go and inform the lord." said the other Knight.

The Knight diverted his essence to his legs and started running towards the Kingdom of Ether. After an hour he reached the Kingdom of Ether and informed the guards about Roan. The news soon reached Lucifer, he came out of his chambers and flew towards the blessed land. Within 10 minutes Lucifer was already at the blessed land.

He saw that Roan was in a state of trance, his light energy was rotating around him and was forming a storm. Lucifer closed his eyes and sent some essence towards Roan to probe. When his essence hit Roan's light he felt chaos. There were too many thoughts moving at an incredible speed. His head started paining and he fell on one of his Knee. The Knights got scared after looking at that. Their God who could easily fight a century-old ghost King fell just with the touch of Roan's essence. This visual created doubt as well as panic.

After a few seconds Lucifer came back to his senses. He looked at Roan and shot a light beam it did not hit Roan or his light but it hit the light stones that were around Roan and destroyed them. However, as soon as the light stones got destroyed a big blast occurred and all the Knights who were standing near Lucifer perished. Lucifer himself got severely injured, he could not understand what went wrong. But he understood one thing someone kept a trap in the light room to cause harm to him. If instead of Roan, Lucifer would have entered the room for training then his whole army would have perished.

The blast was so big and powerful that the ghosts who were scouting on the edges of the City of Ether felt it. They quickly informed Karl about it and he rushed towards the blessed land along with his army.

When Karl reached there he saw that the blessed land was destroyed there was a big hole in the land at its edge he found Lucifer, he was heavily injured and his injuries were not healing. He immediately rushed towards him.

"Don't come." yelled Lucifer.

Karl and his team halted a few meters away.

Lucifer looked at them and said "The light energy is too dense it would destroy you if you come in it's range. Throw dark energy blasts around me."

Karl and his team started throwing dark energy blasts around Lucifer however they perished before they could hit the ground. They Kept on throwing, the ghosts got exhausted multiple times, finally, after 4 hours they were able to penetrate the light energy. After an hour the first blast hit the land. At that time Lucifer was already getting healed slowly, he was getting his powers back.

"What happened?" asked Karl.

"Roan and other Knights are dead. There was a trap here, it was for me however as Roan used my room to train it got triggered on him. Whoever the enemy is much more advanced than us. Call ghosts who do rituals. Tell them to meditate here and see the past." said Lucifer.

"Okay, Shall we destroy the blessed land?"

"Wait, I'm going back to the city of Ether. I will be sending Knights once they take away all the rocks and stones, you can destroy the blessed land," said Lucifer.

With that, Lucifer went to the City of Ether. Deep down he was worried because the trap was powerful and even though he was safe, around 100 of his Knights died and most of them were elites. His army was now weak, his soul was injured and there was a threat of war looming around the city.

Away from blessed land inside a cave, a group of humans were hiding. They all had dirt all over them, they wore no clothes. They were very thin and had long hair.

"Did the plan go through?" asked one of the human

"The trap was triggered however the so-called God got only injured," said Sire he was the human who set the trap.

"Is his soul harmed? How many humans die?

"Around 100, one of his general is dead and the soul of human King is heavily injured," said Sire.

"Okay, then I'm informing ghosts." said the human.

He formed a boat made of light and threw it towards the Kingdom of Swords. Soon the light travelled to the cave on the mountain and reached the ghosts who were transferring essence to create destruction blasts. The light essence entered the cave and was converted into a board made of light.

"The human King got injured, One of his subordinates activated the trap and killed around 100 Knights." read Stark.

"The light experiment is a success with this we can use humans as bombs they would annihilate legions of ghosts." said one of the ghosts.

"Yes, now we need to go ahead and test the dark experiment in the upcoming battle. If that too hits success then it would change the balance of the world. Our Empire would take over the world. I need no mistakes from now on. Be on high alert. Let this pest fight it out. We just need to see if our bombs are working or not." said Stark.

Stark created a boat made of darkness and sent it to the cave of humans.

" Excellent work and congratulations. We will check the dark experiment in the upcoming battle if it hits success we will inform you. Then you need to annihilate humans, we would annihilate ghosts and leave this place." read Sire.

"Do you think you can Kill the human King?" asked one of the humans.

"Not in a direct battle but we already have three traps that are much more powerful, with them we can easily kill the human King and his army. We just need to hold our nerves and make sure that they don't doubt involvement of a fourth party. As long as they doubt the ghosts for the trap we would easily annihilate them." said Stark.
