Capítulo 128: Tragedy
I opened my eyes and found myself in a tropical forest
This was the common climate of the Dragon King's Kingdom.
Also here you could feel the heat of the environment for which I did not feel very comfortable
We left the circle and to my surprise it was covered with the spell of the Dragon Gods
-The capital is only a half hour walk away, follow me- Siegh said as he started walking
Me and Lara followed him in silence
Also, to avoid attracting attention, we put on distraction rings that changed our physical appearance to that of someone else.
Obviously this was to avoid the prying eyes of some apostle of Hitogami.
As Siegh said, in just half an hour we reached the capital.
Here we would pretend to be adventurers who were just passing through the city.
We entered the city and didn't notice anything strange, Kishirika said that Laura was here but that was all.
I also had my suspicions that Steevio was the last apostle.
We walked through the streets that were as messy as ever, the summer heat already making itself felt through the sweat on my forehead and my feeling of thirst.
We didn't have a clear objective where to look and I doubted we would find anything soon...
-Any ideas?- Lara muttered as she sat on a tree-shaded street bench.
Me and Siegh looked at each other in doubt
-It can't be...you really don't know where it is?- Lara said in an accusatory tone
-I have ideas but I'm afraid of making mistakes and creating an unnecessary war- I muttered.
-And what is the idea?- Siegh asked.
-The royal castle...for months I have suspected that Steevio is an apostle of Hitogami but I have had nothing to confirm it- I declared
Lara and Siegh fell silent at this as they looked at the castle in the distance.
Siegh and Lara looked at each other and nodded.
-I guess we have no choice, do we?- Lara said with a murmur
I smiled at this and nodded.
-Okay, if we're going to do this, we'll do it at night. We don't want to get caught- i declared.
Lara and Siegh nodded in understanding and so we decided on our course of action.
Although it was still around 2pm so it would take a while to wait here
..
Night came, around 9pm
What we did to kill time was walk around the city to plan our escape routes in case something went wrong or if it turned out that Laura wasn't here.
Also unlike Gardenia, the Dragon King Kingdom is an already established and powerful kingdom.
So infiltrating his castle wouldn't be so easy this time.
Taking advantage of the darkness we walked a few streets until we were at the back of the castle.
The castle had thick stone walls of at least 30 meters, so destroying them was not feasible.
So I decided to use gravity magic to lift us up.
The first was Sieg and with earth magic he created a small platform on the wall for him to lean on.
The next one was Lata eh I did the same process
And in the end it was me and I also did the same process.
I tried to look over the wall but there was a guard there.
-It's a patrol...we've investigated their patterns and another guard will pass by in 30 seconds...- Alek whispered to us
Me and Lara looked at him in shock
According to his statements, we had about 30 seconds to get down before another guard saw us.
Okay, this is getting complicated and our current position doesn't make it any better...
The circumference of the castle was too large for a single lair to patrol so it made sense
Now we were in the back garden of the castle
From the wall to one of the castle entrances there were at least 50 meters
Getting down the wall and running here might not be possible for everyone...
-Lara, Siegh... do you see that entrance over there?- I said pointing to a wooden door in one of the castle towers.
-Those lead to the watchtowers and also to the basements- Siegh explained.
-Alright..we just have to get to that door to enter the castle- I muttered as another guard passed by.
When I lost sight of him I made a jump that took Siegh and Lara by surprise.
With gravity magic I stopped my fall and ran as fast as I could towards the door.
According to my calculations I got there in 20 seconds.
I stuck to a wall where the light didn't reach and another guard passed by.
When I lost sight of him, with gravity magic I pulled Siegh and Lara towards me.
Lara almost screamed in fear but held back.
So we stayed stuck to the wall while another guard passed by.
In that 30 second period I ran to the door, with earth magic I created a key but it wouldn't open.
I ran back to the door and another guard passed by.
I thought about what I could do to open the door and I simply opted for a stone bullet.
I ran to the door again, with great precision I threw a stone bullet at the lock and the door opened.
I signaled to Siegh and Lara to wait and entered the tower, waited for another guard to pass and signaled to Siegh and Lara to run towards me.
Siegh arrived first and Lara a couple of seconds after him.
With stone magic I sealed the door and we walked down the tower hallway
The room was dimly lit with gas lamps so it gave a gloomy air.
Siegh was in the front, Lara in the middle and I was in the back.
I used my mana eye to search for any concentration of mana, I immediately found a room with a dense mana pool in it.
-There!- I said pointing to the ground
Siegh and Lara looked at me confused and I explained what was happening.
-hmm..the entrance to that place should be nearby...follow me..- Siegh said as he continued walking down the hallway
We walked until we were in front of another door that led to some stairs, I used my mana eye and found the place of dense mana
-Hey! What are you doing here?!- a guard shouted, scaring the three of us.
The guard was about to blow a whistle but I knocked him out with a stone bullet to the head.
I ran towards him, took the whistle from him and with earth magic I brought him to the ground for the moment.
I used another stone bullet on the door and we went down the stairs, unlike the rest of the other hallway, these stairs were completely dark so I used a light spirit to walk down them.
We went down for a while but I noticed something with my mana eye
The room with the concentrated mana became even denser.
A blinding light reached us here and then we heard the cry of a baby....
I could feel myself frozen in place, as did Siegh and Lara.
Drops of sweat began to fall from my forehead and I couldn't move from my spot.
No...we should have let him be born according to Orsted...
-Come on, we have to take him now that he's a baby!- I said to Siegh and Lara, snapping them out of their shock.
We got to the room and the baby's crying got louder
There were many people, a huge magic circle, huge blue crystal pillars..On the ground there were about 10 people in wizard robes lying on the ground with their hair completely white.
In addition to several Guards, a woman and Steevio..
We quickly took off our rings revealing our identity.
Steevio looked at us in surprise and then anger.
-What the hell are you doing in my castle?!- Steevio demanded
-..you know that what you do is treason to humanity, right?- I said looking him in the eyes
He didn't have time to respond as the guards pounced on us.
When Steevio saw Siegh his expression visibly tensed.
Without any effort we finished off the guards and only Steevio and the woman with Laplace in her arms remained.
The woman looked totally weak and with her hair completely white except for the tips.
-Damn... Lautaro warned them?!- Steevio asked
-....- I didn't answer his question and just stared at him.
-Hehe...I guess so...that bastard ran away like a common coward trying to ask for help when he discovered the plan...-Stevvio muttered
-So that was it...- I muttered
-It's over Steevio, give yourself up...- I said as I approached him
Steevio looked at me angrily, pulled a dagger from his belt and threw it at me.
He tried to attack me but I stopped his fist with one hand
-aggg...now!!!- he shouted, to my surprise
Quickly four guards came out of a door and went towards Laura
Steevio tried to attack me again but I knocked him out.
I killed a guard and Siegh killed two others, unfortunately one guard stabbed Laura in the heart and the guard knocked Laplace to the ground.
Before he could use gravity magic Siegh caught baby Laplace before he hit the ground
Kill the last guard and heal Laura
She was already weak and fainted in my arms.
Look at baby Laplace, green hair and some small wings...
When Siegh tried to get up something happened...
He froze in place as he looked Laplace in the eyes.
Laplace's eyes began to shine and he turned into particles
The particles entered Siegh's body and he fell to the ground.
-Sieghart!!- me and Lara shouted in unison
We tried to lift him off the ground but he suddenly opened his eyes but... they weren't his eyes
His eyes were now yellow and lizard-like.
A macabre smile formed on his face and wings began to form on his back.
-jejejeje jajajaja!!!!!!- Siegh laughed macabrely as he opened his wings
A shockwave came out of his body which sent me and Lara flying into the walls.
Siegh looked at Lara for a few moments
Then he looked at Laura and this...he stabbed her with his arm with a smile on his face...
Then he looked at me and... he lunged at me at a terrifying speed....
