I sent Indra on his way to save his kin I just figured it would be better if he rescued his sister on his own instead of me doing everything for him.
This has been one of his missions in life he longs to save his brethren and his older sister so I let him, I really admired his diligence and sincerity.
I also told him that I wanted to meet his sister and hopefully have her serve me as well after this is all over. Based on how he talked about her she sounded just as strong and reliable as him and she may be even stronger.
I wondered what kind of game breaking power she has and I'm also guessing she won't have a name either.
I also have to remain focused the Emperor and his Royal army could show up at any time. I think it would be better to cut their numbers down first before saving the slaves and conquering the dungeon.
The slaves will have to follow us throughout the dungeon as well. I know can't just leave them behind, so I guess we will just have to make it work. There will be plenty of food for them from the monsters we kill so that shouldn't pose a problem.
Just as I was I deep thought, I could hear several booming sounds of thunder in the distance I could see, purple and black lightning bolts crashing down at different intervals forming a gigantic circle of lightning and Thunder resembling a small scale storm.
"So..it's finally starting huh?
"Well let's bring the slaughter to them then! Maybe I'll evolve after this…I wonder if I can earn shared exp from by subordinates?"

'Nice, it works! So now I can earn shared exp with my servants? This just gives me even more incentive on saving these slaves and making them my servants!'
Chaos In his dragon form started heading for the Royal castle ready to wipe out the emperor's whole army leaving only the emperor and his family alive for future negotiations.
Chaos would leave them alive only if they surrendered to his might and became his servants Chaos didn't know how the soul contracts worked though so this would be tougher than it seemed.
Chaos spread his enormous wings and catapulted himself into the sky at full speed, he destination was the indeed the Royal captain he was tired of waiting and playing games with the empire he wanted to end this once and for all.
'That's a lot of damn soldiers?! What the hell are they planning?'
When he arrived there were at least 50,000 shoulders spread out across the entire area of where the Royal castle was located this told Chaos all he needed to know.
The Emperor was housed up inside afraid to come out so he sent over half of his army out here to buy time and sacrifice themselves why he hides away shaking in his boots.
'What a pathetic ruler. I get that numbers usually work against most opponents, but come on…it's not going to work when the opponent your going against is a damn power house just by himself, it defeats the whole purpose!
'I mean just what the hell is this guy thinking? Does he honestly think these feeble humans can stop me?! What a joke!'
When Chaos came into their view and let off his [Divine Aura Of Chaos] in small portions to not over do it but It seemed like the whole world stopped and time was frozen nobody could move a muscle let alone speak even think.
The only thing they could feel… was absolute fear!
'It seems it worked…' Chaos shrugged.
Even the commanders and generals stationed outside of the Royal castle was absolutely petrified seeing the insane monstrous being who was Chaos they tried with all their might to scream to warn the others of the invasion but nothing came out.
It was almost as if Chaos's mere presence drained the life and power right out of their body not even giving them the strength to speak.
'W-What the hell is this?!'
'Why can't I move… I can't even speak!'
'Arghhhhh!! I can't b-breath!'
'Why can't anybody move?! T-This power is too overwhelming, I never thought this would be possible!'
'Why isn't nobody saying anything?! Dammit I can't either!'
'Is this the end of us already… this can't be possible!!'
Around 300 soldiers fainted, 10 died a few soiled themselves without saying anything.
All the while the Emperor William Castiel, knew that this would end up happening and had made preparations in advance. He had the magic corps enact detection magic and also a teleportation magic formation that used short range space magic.
The near 50,000 troops that were stationed outside defending the exterior would be teleported inside of the gigantic castle which could hold even more people than that it was truly enormous in size.
"D-Did it work"
"Are we saved?!"
"N-No way…"
*Huff* "Just in time…I seriously thought we were dead meat!"
"Just what kind of evil power was that?! There's no way energy like that actually exist, I felt like my mana was getting nullified…"
"I felt it too… It's absolutely unheard of! The chaos element is a supreme attribute, it's capable of nullifying all elements!
"That was scary as hell! You're telling me we have to face that entity outside? There's no way we can win right?!"
"Yes… I'm afraid so. My subjects, this who we must strike down now." The emperor's suddenly walked in coming from the evacuation room and spoke up in a voice laced with a tinge of sadness and conviction.
The other 50,000 troops and 9 captains had been tasked with guarding and protecting the emperor and his family. They were in a evacuation room which had been recently built by contracted dwarves from the dwarf kingdom of Dhalgrun.
They were superb craftsmen capable of crafting almost anything imaginable, the room they had built for the emperor was made of nullification stone, magi-steel, and other strong magic materials and he also had the mage corps set up a barrier that would activate by itself just in case an emergency arose.
The Emperor thought that even though Chaos was strong there was no way he would be able to deal with 100,000 highly trained soldiers all by himself especially as someone who has only been alive for a week.
"Listen up everyone! This in no time too be scared! The enemy is now closing in in hopes to eradicate us from existence! We will not give in so easily!
"When I give the signal, we will use the second short range teleportation formation that we set up to teleport outside of the castle in an all out attack! We will achieve victory in this battle I have trust in all of you!
"Amon, Gregory… I need you to take my family and escape to the Sacred forest, it's too dangerous for them here!
"This will be their only chance at survival,I know that this battle will not come without catastrophic casualties to our troops. I don't want them to get caught up in all this…well you have your orders go!"
"Y-yes your majesty, I will protect them with my life, b-but please sire…
"Y-You need to come with us as well! You cannot stay here any longer!" Said Gregory one of the emperor's Royal knights with a bit of hesitation in voice.
"I agree sire, there's no telling how strong Chaos really is if here were to use his full power…without you this empire will surely fall, I implore you to reconsider!" Said Amon breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Enough! I've made my decision… My son is of age to become my heir and is strong enough to lead this nation, if I don't survive…he will be your new emperor!"
"Father… are you serious? No, I think this is a bad idea! Even if I do become the new emperor, what would stop that monster from just killing us In the future?! T-That's too much responsibility for someone like me don't you think,? Said the prince.
"Chaos is a monstrous being , yes know that but he is still very intelligent an cunning… If you become the new emperor and happened to surrender to him completely, I doubt he would waste his time trying to conquer the empire again."
"From what I know about him right now, he is a cost and benefit kind of being. After this, there would be no more benefits for him here, so he'd probably move on, or at least that's what I hope…"
"I know it may not be the best option and ultimately it's your decision to make, but I have to say that I think it's better than dying…"
"As long as he doesn't enslave the Royal family or the citizens, you should be at his mercy and command."
"This is to protect your mom and sister, as well as all the citizens who live in our beloved empire my son… please do your stubborn father this one favor!
"V-Very well Father, I will do as you say… But I won't accept you just giving up so easily! You better go win this and come back to your family or I'll never forgive you."
"My dear husband…I know I can't change your mind when you get like this and I don't intend to interfere in your resolve of the matter. I know this is more important than just me… but please come back to us! *Sniffle*
"I couldn't bear to lose you like this…I just wouldn't know what to do with myself, our family depends on you after all.
The empress and their daughter the princess of the empire had tears streaming down their faces and the sound of their agonizing cries could be heard through the entire castle.
The emperor kissed his wife and daughter and hugged his son looking at his family one last time and give them the biggest and most sincere smile he could muster and told them it would all be right and he would still be alive when they came back.
In truth he didn't really know what the outcome would be and the thought of never seeing his family again terrified him giving him a feeling of intense rage directed at the enemy who was trying to take his family away from him.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be right here when you guys get back! My beloved wife Sapphire, you should know that I treasure you dearly my love…"
"My beautiful and elegant Princess and my charming and daunting Prince I love you so-so much! Please stay strong for your father…I promise I'll give it all I have to Chaos, so that we can all be together again!"
Amon and Gregory led the emperor's beloved family out of the back entrance of the Royal castle bowed and nodded once more to the emperor's showing their respect and admiration to him for one last time.
"Chaos! I SWEAR I'LL DESTROY YOU! You dare try taking my beloved family away from me?!"
"EVEN MY ENTIRE EMPIRE?! One which I united and made prosperous by my own hands, sweat,blood and tears?! I see… I now see what I must do! I promise, I will take you down! Even if it cost me my life, I will show you no mercy!"
"My loyal subjects I now ask for your strength! Yes, my Royal army lend me your power in this warring and turbulent turn of events ! We are now engaging in one of the most intense and decisive battles that we may ever face in our lives!
"Do not loose focus for one second or it may very well cost you! Your families and this nation is depending on all of you right now!"
"You hear that?!"
"You heard our lord! We shall lend our strength and put our lives on the line! Not only for our nation but also for the children and families we have to protect!"
"We shall not waver In the face of this evil… Because in the end, our justice will prevail!"
"So let's do this my comrades.. For the Araezia Empire and for our loved ones!"
"Yeahh!" All 100,000 shoulders shouted at the same time.
"We are doing this for our families and our loved ones! This is also for all the innocent citizens in our empire!"
"Let us put our very lives on the line to vanquish this evil, who has come to plague our venerable nation and lands! Yelled the emperor raising his troops morale in an instant.
