บท 137: Chapter 137 - Hostile Visit
______________
---The next day---
After a night of studying, Lev found himself waking up with Morgiana lying on his chest from which he then started smiling when he recalled how good and behaved a student she was last night.
Lev then just stayed like that caressing her hair before summoning Infinity on his hand together with Muu Alexius's Metal Vessel. Without waiting any longer, he then said, "Devour it."
[Metal Vessel: Barbatos has been devoured.]
[Magoi Power has been increased by 1 level.]
[100,000,000 True God Coins earned.]
[Metal Vessel: Barbatos
Description: 8th Dungeon
Skills:
* Summon
* Djinn Weapon Equip
* Djinn Equip
* Bard Rohm - The ability to produce shock waves using strength magic that is able to fly to far distances. These shock waves can come in the form of whatever attack is used for (e.g. if a punch is used, the shock waves would look like a bullet, but if a sword was used it would be like a slash of compressed air sailing towards the target.)
* Extreme Magic: Bard Longineus - It takes the form of a huge sword made of blue light and when unleashed it is capable of destroying anything even from a long range.]
Seeing Barbato's description, Lev couldn't help but smile seeing that his strength had once become stronger again even though it only had two skills on its arsenal.
"Lev." A tired voice then sounded in Lev's ears as Morgiana suddenly woke up from her slumber before looking at him.
"Good morning." Lev greeted with a smile before giving her some morning kisses on the lips.
With that, the seemingly morning kiss suddenly turned into a passionate one as the longer they did it the more they got immersed in kissing each other seeing Lev's hands already started squeezing and rubbing something on Morgiana.
"L-Lev." Morgiana called out his name after feeling great down to her pussy as Lev keep on touching it.
"Hehehe." Lev, on the other hand, just sneered as he used his finger to rub Morgiana's virgin pussy and start teasing it.
"L-Lev.Mhhnn… aahh." Morgiana can't stop her voice anymore as she moans cutely with her hips can't stay still.
Shortly after that, the room filled with loveliness as the two kept on embracing each other before heading out.
______________
Garden Tower,
On the edge of the Garden Tower, Lev could be seen sitting alone while looking in the distance. Not long after, a giant bird suddenly landed not far away from him which gained his attention.
"Sorry to disturb your precious time, Your Majesty. But our scouts saw several ships coming on their way towards our country." A woman warrior, after getting down, reported respectfully and immediately told Lev in detail what the scouts had told her.
Lev, however, just smiled while listening to her as he could also see several ships in the distance thinking that another trouble really had come right after Reim caused a ruckus back then.
"Should we warn them, Your Majesty?" The woman warrior asked as she looked at Lev with seriousness as this time, the ships that were coming to their country were much bigger and enormous compared to before.
"Let them in and see what they were up to." Lev replied while smiling inside him thinking that another Metal Vessel had come to him voluntarily as the visitors this time were none other than the Kou Empire.
______________
On the ship,
Meanwhile, a lean, young boy with long pink hair, short in the back and three braids on his fringe, and pink eyes could be seen on one of the ships with three other women standing beside him.
"Lord Kouha, we will be arriving soon." Suddenly, a soldier came closer and reported to the boy respectfully.
"Mmm. I can see it." The young boy named Lord Kouha replied upon seeing the island in the distance while smiling as he held his sword in his hand.
On the other hand, in a particular ship on the fleet, a young woman of average height with long, dark hair and blue eyes could be seen helping a woman tending the several wounds and cuts on her body. Aside from her, there were also other women who were shaking from fear and confusion while looking at the woman who was helping them.
With that, Kou Empire's fleet continued sailing and were getting closer and closer towards Artemyra not knowing what kind of place they were heading to as they hadn't yet heard about news on what happened a week ago.
______________
Artemyra Palace,
It didn't take long before the forces of Kou Empire had arrived seeing several ships on the sea surrounding Artemyra with some fierce soldiers guarding them. On the other hand, Lev and Queen Mira could now be seen inside the palace looking at the young man and woman together with three other people behind them.
"So, this Artemyra. Fantastic. I didn't think that this remote country was good. It is suitable to become part of our Empire." The young man named Kouha said while admiring the place seeing how good it was compared to how it was described before coming to this place.
Hearing Kouha's words, Queen Mira couldn't help but frown seeing him so carefree as if he owned the place. On the other hand, Lev wasn't even looking at him as he was looking at the woman beside him thinking how come she was also here too.
"What does the prince of Kou Empire come in such a remote country like ours?" Lev suddenly asked as he averted his gaze towards Kouha with great interest fully knowing who he was.
"Presumptuous!! How can you talk like that to a great prince of Kou." Suddenly, the women behind Kou blurted furiously seeing Lev casually talk to their Lord with no hint of respect.
"I don't know who you are as all I know is that this country was governed by a woman called Queen Artemina, where is she?" On the other hand, Kouha frowned as he looked at Lev not knowing who he was as he started getting agitated by the way he looked at him.
"It's me." Queen Mira, who was beside Lev, replied showing some hint of coldness in her voice.
"Good. Listen. Kou Empire has been interested in this remote country for a while now. We would like to make this country a part of us and work for us from now on." Kouha boldly and directly said their purpose of coming here not minding what their reactions would be.
"L-Lord Kouha." Suddenly, the woman beside him called out his name politely as he couldn't agree with how he handled things seeing him using forceful means and not even bothering to talk about it smoothly.
"So, it's like this. Heh. And who decided that?" Lev amusingly asked upon hearing Kouha's words seeing that it wasn't just Reim but now also Kou had their eyes on Artemyra. He could not help but think that the mindset of the people in this world really is too barbaric.
"Shut up!! I'm talking to the woman here and who are you by the way? I don't like your eyes." Kouha asked with irritation seeing Lev continue to interrupt them as he held his sword tightly while coldly looking at him.
"I'm Lev, King of Artemyra." Lev replied with a bit of anger in his voice seeing the cockiness of this boy really is off the roof way more than how he was portrayed in the anime.
"King, you say? Hahahaha. When does this country have a King." Kouha couldn't help but laugh hearing Lev calling himself a King as he knew from the reports that this country didn't have one.
"L-Lord Kouha." The woman beside him called his name out again while feeling that something was not quite right seeing Lev and Queen Mira still calm while feeling some bad vibes coming out from Lev.
"Lady Hakuei. You're acting very amicable towards these people. You even helped those women that we caught. I don't really understand your way of doing things." Kouha said while looking at the woman beside him, but he couldn't do anything about it as that was how she was. He doesn't even put an eye on this remote country and would even become happier if they would retaliate as he wanted to see blood.
"Can you elaborate about those women that you've caught." Lev suddenly said as his aura started changing and his stares started to get cold as he looked at Kouha in front of him.
"Oh, those women. I think they were your people seeing them having the same appearance as the women outside so I didn't think that there were strong warriors in this country. I couldn't help but act in self-defense." Lord Kouha replied while grinning thinking back to how those women trying to defend themselves. He also enjoyed the fun and wanted to kill them but suddenly became spoiled after Hakuei stopped him.
"Y-You! What did you just say?!" Queen Mira asked as she couldn't stay still anymore. Her voice was already filled with fury upon hearing that her people were in the hands of this boy.
"Oy, don't give me that look. Tell me your decision quickly. Remember, you didn't even have the choice as this remote place was already surrounded by my army." Kouha replied in a threatening voice thinking that there was no need to talk anymore as they could just use force to subdue this country.
On the other hand, the woman named Hakuei could only clench her fist seeing that it finally turned up to this point as there won't be negotiation anymore. She couldn't help but swallow her voice as she didn't to make things more complicated.
"I didn't know you were like this in person, Kouha." Not before long, Lev's voice that was filled with dread suddenly sounded as he stood up from his throne and started walking toward Kouha.
"You!! How could yo----" One of the women behind Kouha couldn't hold back herself anymore as she rushed together with the other two towards Lev trying to attack him when suddenly they found themselves flying and crashing to the wall before coughing up blood.
"I'm a good person, you see, but don't give me a reason to show how evil I am." Lev said in a very cold voice before suddenly disappearing and appearing right beside Kouha with his hand already grabbing his neck.
On the other hand, Kouha couldn't react to Lev's speed while still shocked at what just happened to his three companions before struggling in his grasp seeing how tight it was while trying to get his sword.
Hakuei, on the other side, immediately reacted after seeing Kouha getting strangled. She pulled out something like a fan wanting to help him but stopped after seeing Lev's eyes which were very cold.
"Lady Hakuei!" The two people on her back immediately rushed towards Lev seeing Hakuei was in danger.
Lev, however, just looked at them before he focused his gaze back toward Kouha as Morgiana and Yamraiha blocked their way.
Hakuei couldn't contain her shock and fear anymore as everything escalated even more seeing Queen Artemina already change appearance as she was now on her Djinn Equip form.
"This sword is a waste in your hands. Might as well give them to me." Lev said before taking his sword or to be precise his Metal Vessel and putting it inside his inventory for later use.
"G-Give it b-back." Kouha tried his best to say something but found it so hard to speak as he couldn't budge Lev's hands on his neck. He could only look at him furiously and plan to kill cruelly if he could somehow escape.
"What can you do now, Kouha? A King Vessel without its Metal vessel is just a mere normal person." Lev said while looking at Kouha seeing how the cocky brat earlier was now trying his best to get some air while struggling on his hands.
"Arrrrgghh." One of the women who crashed into the wall was already up trying to save her Lord seeing how Lev easily apprehended him.
Lev didn't even look at the woman as lightning suddenly struck her before falling down like a crisp on the floor with no signs of life anymore after Queen Mira took the shot and brought her down.
Hakuei, on the other hand, was so shocked by how fast the situation had changed that her mind went blank, and didn't know what to do as her body kept on shaking from looking at them.
"W-Who are y-you?" Kouha asked with a hint of fear in his voice thinking how strong this unknown man really was.
"Like I told you. I'm Lev, King of Artemyra." Lev replied coldly before heading outside while dragging Kouha with him.
On the other hand, Queen Mira, Yamraiha, and Morgiana couldn't help but also feel surprised thinking that it was their first time seeing Lev's expression like that as it was way too cold even for them.
"You're a princess, I guess. I hope you won't cause much more trouble as even I didn't know what was currently running on Lev's mind." Queen Mira said as she looked at Hakuei seeing her fan guessing that she was also a Metal Vessel user.
Hearing Queen Mira, Hakuei could no longer do anything but bite her lips as she looked at Kouha getting dragged outside while thinking about what kind of country they really messed up this time.

Outside the palace,
Meanwhile, sounds of screams and cries could be heard outside as the soldiers that Kouha brought together with them were fighting and running for their lives after the women that they thought were weak were killing them without mercy one by one.
"Is this what you call surrounded? How amusing." Lev said looking at a fierce warrior woman who killed a soldier in one blow while some killing them by using a gun.
Kouha's eyes immediately widened after seeing what was happening in his sight seeing his men helplessly being killed and not even finding a way to fight.
Wanting Kouha to witness everything, Lev stayed and showed everything to him before flying to the sky and heading towards the ravine where the rest of the Kou Empire's army was staying.
______________
On the ravine,
Several ships could now be seen floating on the sea with thousands of soldiers boarding on it but the people inside were actually not feeling good upon hearing some cries above not knowing what was happening in the country.
On the other hand, Lev together with Kouha, who was struggling on his hands, were now floating above the sky looking at the clueless soldiers on the ship.
"You have quite an army, Kouha." Lev said before his eyes suddenly glowed and the current of the sea started to change making the soldier below turn into panic. It didn't take long before several shadow soldier sea monsters suddenly came out one by one on the sea heading towards the ships.
"Kill them all for me." Lev said as he ordered his shadow soldier sea creatures. This shadow army has long been protecting the country it's just that he didn't use them back then as he wanted his army to have a taste of war.
Hearing Lev, several shadow soldier sea monsters then started attacking the ships gaining the fear of the thousands of soldiers not knowing where the sea creature came from as they started to counterattack.
Kouha looked at them with his very own eyes with his mouth wide open seeing his men devoured while the ships got destroyed helplessly by the attacks of the sea monsters of the sea.
Lev looked at them and suddenly saw familiar faces on a particular ship struggling upon the monstrous sea monsters which he immediately ordered to stop their assault on that ship making the people on board in shock.
"Y-You, what are y-youuuuu?!!! " Kouha couldn't help but feel scared while looking at Lev seeing how he could do such a thing as even back at the empire, he never once saw someone that could order monstrous sea creatures.
Lev, however, just looked at Kouha with a smile before finally seeing him losing consciousness which he then loosened his hand on his neck wanting to keep him alive.
"You can't die yet as I still haven't devoured your Metal Vessel." Lev said. He knew that once a King Vessel lost its life, his/her Metal Vessel would return to the dungeon once again which would be problematic to him.
Following that, Lev just stayed above the sky seeing the soldiers struggle in despair before finally heading back to the palace as there was still one person that needed his attention and questioning.
