Chapter 86: Dark Elves
"His Majesty, Emperor Ryan Irwin" A male voice resounded in the hall.
A middle-aged man with black hair and red eyes entered the hall as silence permeated the entire hall.
His expressions were regal and authoritative. There was no tension or apprehension over his face and he exuded pure confidence.
For a second, nobles and royals knitted their brows as the person who should be cowering in fear was displaying his overbearing aura. Unbelievable!
"Thank you all for coming here on this very special occasion."
"I hope you all have an amazing night as things will be quite interesting tonight" Ryan's eyes glimmered dangerously which caused the entire hall to frown. For some reason, they had a bad premonition.
"Let us welcome the star of tonight, Noah and Ares." He said and went to sit on his seat alone.
But-
Instead of Noah and Ares,
Noah and Valentina entered the hall with hand in hand.
'What is happening?' All the people even the Emperor was confused. Why was Noah's mother accompanying him instead of Ares? Wait, where is Ares?
Emperor Ryan Irwin was trying to connect the dots as he suddenly realized something, even his wife, the Empress, refused to accompany him as she replied that she was still under recuperation from the assassin attack and her body was still weak. He glanced around the hall and noticed that even Eve was missing, Noah's elder sister who doted on both Noah and Ares was nowhere to be found. Ryan had a bad relationship with Adah thus, not noticing her didn't cause any worry in his heart, but the fact that Valentina was accompanying Noah made him feel slight unease.
Ryan looked around and found another disturbing detail, the director of 'FashionX', Gina, who was said to have arrived was also missing. What the hell is happening? Luckily for Ryan, he didn't know about Silia and Eula's disappearance, otherwise, he would have known that something was definitely wrong with Noah and Valentina's entry.
Unbothered by the turmoils, Noah glanced around the hall and noticed his old 'friend' Caleb.
Valentina let go of Noah's hands, but she was feeling slightly disappointed. Leaving those thoughts to the back of her mind, she went and sit opposite Ryan on the round table he was sitting on as a smirk adorned her beautiful and exotic face.
She was wearing something strange, that didn't look like clothing at all. And people who tried to check the beautiful demoness noticed that she was wearing a strange neon-blue-colored outfit as if it was a part of her skin and the heels were like the extension of her body.
Noah sat beside Zoe and exchanged some perfunctory words. The hall was eerily silent, they were too shocked by these strange developments. Zoe, although confused tried her best to engage Noah in conversation as she looked at the handsome figure
Noah's smiled at Caleb who was trying to avoid Noah's gaze.
Suddenly Noah got up and...
*Ting!*
*Ting!*
*Ting!*
He hit the wine glass with a spoon that caught everyone's attention as they all broke out their reverie.
"I am truly amazed by your performance, everyone..."
"I wish to know...just how long are you all going to keep up with this farce?" Noah smiled amusedly as he raised his cup high in the air.
Valentina also got up at the same time and...
*Ting!*
*Ting!*
*Ting!*
"Let the show begin assholes, but remember, Ryan is mine and anybody who tries to kill him will face my wrath personally." Valentina's eyes glowed with [Energy] putting pressure on the people in the hall including the Emperor himself, who gulped in horror. He had underestimated this demoness.
Both the mother and son raised their wine glasses and gulped down a mouthful of delicious wine!
*clap!*
*clap!*
Sounds of clapping resounded in the hall that originated from a corner. Everyone looked towards the corner and soon a hidden cloaked figure, that was perfectly concealed emerged in everyone's view.
"As expected of Lady Valentina...We wouldn't interfere..." The voice was unrecognizable and nobody could tell whether it was a male or a female?
"Heh~" Valentina had already sensed the person hidden in the corner as her smile widened.
"I would love to know what the Dark Elves want from the Delos Empire?" A crazy smile appeared on Valentina's face as her curiosity peaked.
The cloaked figure staggered back a little, but soon they regained their footing as they were going to reveal themselves anyways.
"It is none of your business Lady Valentina..." The hidden figure refused to tell their original intentions to Valentina as they shook their head slightly in denial.
*Snap!*
Saying so, the cloaked figure snapped their fingers and soon several Imperial guards rushed inside the hall.
At the same time, the Royals and all the Nobles took out their weapons while many hidden cloaked figures also rushed in from windows.
Everyone prepared for a fight, and Ryan Irwin was quite confident when suddenly he saw something that made him realize the seriousness of the issue.
The Imperial guards were cooperating with the robed individuals!
Ryan's furrowed his brows as he stood up and looked towards the robed individual that appeared when Valentina started talking. He knew that person was the leader...
"So this was your plan...huh?" Ryan looked around and saw his guards aiming their weapons at him...
"How did you do it?" He was curious and asked the question that came to his mind.
The cloaked figure that appeared to be the leader didn't respond and only lifted a small bracelet and ring in the air with magic as they replied in a gravelly voice.
"Our God, God Ziark, recently gifted us with the blessings to enchant items that can make anyone obey the wishes of the person in command of that item...Even the Divine Oath could be overwritten with these slave items and make anyone a loyal puppy." The tone was filled with pride and fanatism.
"Why?" Ryan knitted his brows and asked the same question Valentina asked.
This time the cloaked figure tilted his head and revealed their figure by dropping their cloak on the ground, slowly.
"Unlike Lady Valentina, Emperor Ryan Irwin, it is your matter and I would gladly let you know why..." An elvish figure emerged. They had pointy ears and dark skin.
"Around 30 years ago, it was your Empire that shunned us, Dark Elves from living in the Delos Empire, calling us evil and vile creatures." Soon the cloak completely dropped on the ground as the figure of a woman was revealed.
"We came from those planets that you enter and call Dungeons. It was not our fault as we appeared in this place looking for opportunities to spend a life in peace"
"That place was horrible as many strong creatures roamed and ate my fellow clansmen under my eyes and we decided to move and escape using those portals, as we stumbled upon this place."
"But- When we came here, we faced you and your Empire calling us foul and wicked and killing many of my clansmen under my eyes as..." Her voice was filled with grief, sorrow, and pain.
".....we struggled and many migrated to other places but the few of us who didn't want to leave their homes wanted revenge..."
"So here I am, Andry Congo, the old chieftain of the Congo Clan to exact my revenge." Her dark and black eyes were filled with determination. She didn't care about who killed the Emperor, everyone was just tools in her equation, she wanted to his face in despair.
All the plannings she did, was to hear Ryan's screams in despair.
Andry contacted Mary, she didn't care about Mary's motives, she contacted other Kingdoms and Noble households, she also didn't care about their own goals and objectives. She only wanted to see Ryan dead and didn't care about the events that will take place afterward.
"Unfortunately, you underestimated me..." Ryan shook his head as he saw over 25 SSS-ranks with several S-ranks and above in the group ready to attack him...
Ryan smiled confidently, different from the usual reaction of a cornered person.
*BANG!*
Andry furrowed her brows as she looked towards a wall, that suddenly broke.
"The Goddess's Will Reign Supreme!" Esther's voice resounded that was filled with rage as she interlocked her eyes with Andry.
"Foul creature!" She roared.
Several individuals with white robes appeared from behind her and all of them boasted a peak rank of SSS.
They were 19 in total with several S-ranks and SS-ranks hidden within them.
Andry avoided Esther's remark, she knew this woman was a racist.
"I think I still have the upper hand" Andry spoke confidently.
*Bang!*
"Not anymore!" A black-haired and purple-eyed woman appeared along with several middle-aged men following behind her.
"Imperial Ancestors!!" Several nobles and royals identified the newcomers.
"Mother!" Ryan bowed and showed his respect.
Ixea Irwin, Ryan Irwin's mother, and the Imperial Ancestor. Unfortunately, Ryan's father died long ago, and the second strongest person who lead the Ancestors was Ixea Irwin. The Ancestors had a leader who was decided by sheer strength and Ixea ranked at the top after the death of Ryan's father.
Ixea boasted cultivation of SSS-rank as 7 men behind her also unleashed their SSS-rank auras.
But-
Andry just smirked as she looked around to see the 2 individuals that Ryan didn't count. The most dreaded son and mother who tipped the scale in her favors! Andry wanted to eliminate Noah as he was a variable. She had one more SSS-rank who was killed by Noah when she decided to assassinate Noah so that her plans would go smoothly, but fortunately, Noah already made his intentions clear along with his mother that he was not on Ryan's side.
Ryan felt slightly unease as he felt Andry's confident smirk and a chill passed down his spine as he noticed her gaze which was focused on Valentina and Noah.
"Wait!"
"I have something important to say!" Noah's smile widened further.
"We are forgetting my 'friend' Caleb in the equation" Noah glanced towards Caleb and Zoe.
Caleb flinched and looked at his fiance from the corner of his eyes, with sadness, melancholy, guilt, and excitement?
"[Gravity Cage]" Noah muttered as he snapped his fingers as a heavy pressure descended upon all the people in the hall, except Valentina and Zoe. They couldn't move a single muscle even with their cultivation base that was not sealed!!
............
A woman sitting on a bloody red throne snapped open her eyes!
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
The steps of a true powerhouse resounded in the Delos Empire as she rushed towards her beloved!
