One week or so later, we were at Gray Manor's Garden for the birthday party of Archduke Grayson. An event worthy of noble characters like the crown prince, Dracula, and his brothers, children of the Emperor King.
The name Dracula was a problem, but a problem to be explained in another time.
Gray's mother, with an elegant red dress and loosen hair, sat, and her gaze fixed on me. — Uncle A, now that we've cut Damian's cake, isn't it a good time to tell the kids a little about the story...? — she suggested with a motherly smile.
Christian Chamberlain, Havanna Thundergaze and Kim Yukimura, all of them friends of Gray, clad in noble attire. They leaned in, curiosity etched on their eyes. — Story? — they asked in unison.
Gray, always eager for adventure, chimed in. — Emperor King Arthur, tell us! — splashed, raising his hands in ecstasy.
I chuckled, placing my hand on my belly. — Very well, gather around…
…
King Yer's decree left only a week before the boys' vacation ended. Hera pined for Arthur.
In distant Murim, Qin-Shi and Eleanor stood side by side. Qin-Shi revealed his true name—Zheng—the name that would echo through history as the Emperor Where It All Began.
At the academy, farewells to Lancelot and the Creed of Shadows were bittersweet.
Alexia and Hera returned, reuniting with Arthur.
In Greece, the weather wasn't so good, Apolyta revealed to Zeus that she had put a price on the heads of Arthur's friends, Aphrodite was indignant, and Zeus was furious...
The goddess of love and beauty, Queen of desire and pleasure, in a pink dress, loose pink hair, next to the throne, laughing. — You're really stupid, putting a bounty for an Ashura's head? Do you want to die?! —
Zeus, seated on his throne with a white tunic, and veins covering his face. He suppressed his rage, clenched his fists, and opened his mouth. — You…you are very inconsequential, my daughter, but we can solve this problem... — he stated, as he stood up and hovered down the throne and stood in front of Apolyta.
Her sweat dripping on the floor, Apolyte's head was facing the ground. — Forgive me, god king…
Zeus smiled as his foots touched the ground. He stretched ou his right hand to caress Apolyta's head. — You... You are very beautiful. I don't remember your mother. I had so many women, but she gave me a beautiful daughter, but at the same time useless... — he smirked, then smashed Apolyta's head and seeing her blood everywhere, growled. — Someone clean this mess out of my room!
Everyone in the room was calm and tending to their business. Her death was a silent dust that none cared about, that was the worth of the life in the Olympians eyes.
Looking at his dirty white tunic, veins filled Zeus's forehead. — Now I have to change my clothes, Aphrodite, come! — hovers out of the room.
Hera's third-year term had ended, it was time to find out the results of the election for the presidency of the students council.
Hera won again of course, now that she was no longer being hunted, they admired her again, the director knew that they voted for her again because she was the most beautiful and popular, they didn't care about other things. Alexia attracting even more attention than before, and Jin disrupting their life.
Jin's father was feared by everyone, Hera revealed that his name was in an ancient language without translation, which is why he received many names such as Hades, Tartarus, Vlad, but the most famous was Dracula, the most powerful and mysterious person she knew, and Jin's older brother was one of the princes of the army of the Union of Kings, very strong, an Immortal Master, with only twenty-one years old, and if Arthur wanted to kill Jin, he would have to think about his father and older brother...
Days later, in the city of Zyria in Greece, the Union of Kings meeting took place, where Zeus and twelve other kings met.
Zeus revealed that there was a Treadway alive, and that he was responsible for the deaths of several students and two women, and that he was too dangerous to be sent to hell, and the law of Pendragon prohibited the kingdoms from sentencing to life imprisonment, but the international law did not prohibit the Court of Kings from doing this. With this arguments, the kings decided to judge him, and Zeus happily agreed, but deep down he wanted to sentence Arthur to death.
When Queen Andromeda discovered that the monarchs had gathered, and that they decided to invoke the Law of Pendragon on the king of Alcantra, because of his genocidal acts, and on the trial of a very dangerous murderer, she had no inkling that the law would soon cast its shadow upon her own blood...
Life continued, Arthur taking normal classes, King Yer's daughter killing the candidates, Arthur developing more and more, with his group of friends, and leaving the girls even more in awe. Zeus organizing a visit to the academy, to see Arthur, and Queen Andromeda suffocating with longing, thinking about visiting him at the academy...
Two weeks later, Zeus arrived at the academy, wanting to see Arthur. He took the traumatized Athena, his divine daughter, who was scared to death of Arthur, after what he did to her in the Supreme Championship. Athena was furious.
Prince Hermes, son of Zeus, went to King Aca, to announce a mission for him. Zeus was organizing an attack and wanted his assassins.
Zeus and Athena entered the academy. The ethereal beauty of Athena drew the attention of the students, and the immortal presence of Zeus was intimidating.
The director gave a guided tour, and for a brief moment Zeus saw Arthur, and Arthur fixed his shining golden eyes on Zeus, but Zeus's eyes were on other.
Hera's beauty, she had already grown up, a fine seventeen-years old girl, outrageously and otherworldly gorgeous, her elegant and attractive posture and manner, her fair skin, clear blue eyes, straight glowy white hair, well-endowed and developed and statuesque physique. Zeus wanted her for himself.
Yes, his own daughter caused that reaction on his body. He wanted to sleep with her, enchanted, he asked the director about his daughter, and she said...
— Yes, our president… She turned seventeen a few days ago, she is also a member of the academy's archery team. She is in her fourth year. One of the best students ever seen, you should put her intelligence and skills to use… — the director explained, looking at Hera's back as she walks away pushing Arthur's arm.
Zeus looked at Hera II's voluptuous thighs, her sickening curves, her back. "I want to see her one last time." He mused with a smirk on his lips. — Believe me, that's what I'm going to do…!
Zeus amazed, Athena terrified, the director disgusted, and Jin teasing his uncle, but Zeus gave him a mission...
He grabbed Jin's arm, pulled him close. — Come here boy! You have to learn to leave your father alone! — he whispered in Jin's ear. — I want you to give me back Hera. Do this favor and you will be very well rewarded. In a while you will be notified about the entire operation…
With his hands in his pockets, Jin smiled. — Her boyfriend won't like this at all, and he might be a thorn in the side, but he's killable... — he pondered, removing Zeus's hand from his forearm. — Since you're an all-powerful god, I want to be king of the amazons, if you give me that I'll think about that…
With a vein on his forehead, Zeus sighed. — Okay, you will be their king. Now do as I tell you!
Days after that, the kings eager to judge the murderer, Queen Andromeda increasingly depressed, Arthur increasingly furious with his mother, and determined to kill king Aca, and put an end to the assassins who persecute him and killed his father.
Arthur and Hera discovered that Eleanor was pregnant, and Hera informed the director...
Weeks later, one night, Alander and Arthur found a group of students with balls of dark Qi, the four ran away and Alander chased them.
Arthur fought Zagreus who had already ingested some of the balls and was out of control. After so much fighting, so much pain, and broken bones, Arthur, already exhausted, sat his hand on Zagreus' head and Alfred released a discharge of electricity that leaved Zagreus unconscious.
The next day, they investigated the case, and discovered that those pills were prohibited, and considered deadly drugs. The director ordered all departments to be on alert, and Jin was furious, they had discovered the existence of the drug in the academy...
Hearing about Eleanor and Qin-Shi's case, she called their parents to a meeting and expelled them, with no right to return, not even as students, much less teachers, and their furious parents, expelled them both from home, it was a dishonorable act for them and their family, and because Qin-Shi didn't want to marry the girl.
Qin took the girl to look for a place to stay, a while later he asked her to marry him, to make up for his mistake, and because he had interests in that marriage too. They lived on the streets for a while, but Qin-Shi found a place for them to stay...
...
— They were greatly missed at the academy, mainly because of the things that would happen… — I scoffed with gestures.
...
Zeus was decided to make Hera II his wife, even if he had to kill himself. He was waiting for the right moment to arrest Arthur.
The next morning, the archery team, training in the academy's gymnasium, an accident happened, and Hera was taken unconscious to the infirmary. Worried Arthur and Alexia went to visit her, but Alexia had a vision and in fear attacked Arthur in Hera's room...
Meanwhile, in the academy's courtyard, Hercules appeared with some assassins and swallowed the entire academy with his domain. Everyone weakened.
Hercules ordered the assassins to slaughter everyone, students, teachers, no matter who it was, and they destroyed the academy. The assassins with dark clothes, their bodies modified by black Qi, murdered students, teachers and burned down the academy's buildings. Jin alongside his cousin, ingested the black Qi and developed.
The slaughter began, some students and teachers tried to fight against them, but it was in vain, all they could hear were screams of agony, pain and despair...
...
Looking at the children, I took a deep breath. — Drako tried to face Hercules…
...
Jin searched for Hera II in the infirmary. Killed all the nurses, until he entered Hera's room...
Shirtless and covered in blood, a sadistic smile played on Jin's lips as he approached Hera. — Hottie, I thought you were unconscious... — he whispered, as he saw her in front of him, protecting a group of nurses. — even better, I like those who resist… — advancing menacingly towards Hera.
The four nurses hiding behind Hera II, trembled in terror.
Rising like a shield before the girls, Hera II's eyes sparkling with fierce determination, as her fists clenched, and her brow furrowed. — Jin, you killed innocent people...
With a laugh that echoed coldness. — Really? And what did your boyfriend do? Oh wait, no... Now he's with his other girlfriend, the librarian...
Her red face contorting with veins, her combat stance intensifying, she roared. — STOP TALKING ABOUT ARTHUR, YOU DISGUSTING SOCIOPATH!
With a smile that anticipated violence, Jin threw a devastating punch towards Hera's face.
She blocked the blow with supernatural force, but the impact threw her against the wall, which shattered with the impact. She fell into the courtyard but got up with a fierce roar. — AHH!!
The four nurses took advantage of the moment to escape, disappearing into the darkness.
Seeing the goddess wearing only a white hospital gown, Jin advanced with an even more brutal punch, chuckling. — Hehehe... For a cute face you're pretty strong, you know, little goddess?
With her face contorted with pain and fury, she nimbly dodged, her aura unleashing like a storm around her healing the bruises in her face, her thighs and fists. With her deep white hair floating, she delivered a super punch to Jin's stomach.
Thrown violently against the ground, creating a crater, Jin still laughed with a trace of admiration. — YES! That one hurt, a lot…
Hera II, using the absolute substitution technique, walked elegantly towards Jin with deadly calm. — You know, cousin, you're all obsessed with Arthur's strength, but let me reveal a secret...
Jin watching her display of elegance and grace with his eyes wide open and mouth agape. "She is perfect... she exudes sensuality and ecstasy without doing anything..."
With a quick and precise movement, Hera II landed a brutal punch in his face, removing that lustful gaze of his. — My blows are infinitely more agonizing than his!!!
Receiving a barrage of non-stop punches, Jin chuckled as he became stronger. Dark veins appeared all over his increasingly muscular body. — That's it! Hit harder, come on! Fight, Xueyao!
Her heart skipped, confusion and pain mixing in her head. — What did you say?! What is that name… — she whispered, feeling the severe pain in the back of her head that forced her to bend her knees.
