Chương 51: THE FALL OF THE MITHRIDOCUS FAMILY

THE FALL OF THE MITHRIDOCUS FAMILY

The armies of Tarah city and the Noble Houses found themselves confronted by these skeletal demons, against which human strength paled in comparison. The skeletal beings descended upon the army, their powerful claws claiming numerous lives.

As the legendary nobles took to the skies to confront the skeletal beings, the heavens parted, unveiling formidable skeletal spears.

These skeletal projectiles assailed the nobles, inflicting substantial harm. However, to the nobles' astonishment, the skeletal spears were soon diverted as a young Earl joined the fray, accompanied by his legendary guards.

Together, they valiantly faced the skeletal onslaught, turning the tide of the battle.

-----

"Did you turn the spears away?" Duke Corrigey asked me as I joined them in their fight.

"We are just lucky", I replied to him.

Suddenly, Chash dashed forward and summoned a powerful beam that froze some of the skeletal warriors of the Mithridocus family. Before they could break from the freeze, they were bombarded by intense flames.

"Wrath of Fire and Ice"

The flame disintegrated the skeletal bodies of these monsters, destroying some of them.

The Nobles quickly cast their strongest magic, pouring out their best on the remaining skeletons. Soon, all of the skeletons were killed and destroyed except their strongest leader, Heller.

"You will not be able to destroy me? I am Invincible", Prince Heller screamed at us.

Despite all our firepower, Heller couldn't be destroyed.

"We can't kill him", Minister Holden said to us.

"You forgot the most important ingredient to killing these skeletal monsters", I replied to him.

Suddenly, as if he heard me, Cardinal Dean rose into the sky. With a chalice in hand, he poured light into the sky. This was the holy light of the church.

"Light of All-Seeing"

"Arrgggghhhhhhh"

Prince Heller screamed as the holy light poured on his body. But holy light alone couldn't destroy this monster.

"Wrath of Fire and Ice"

Chash fired again on the monstrous skeletal being, freezing and disintegrating his skeletal body. This time, his body couldn't regenerate quickly and much of his mass was destroyed.

Suddenly, chains were thrown at the skeletal monster by priests who rose into the air. These were the holy chains of the church which could restrain deviants and practitioners of dark magic like Prince Heller.

Prince Heller was subdued and taken by the church.

"We don't have to worry about the Mithridocus family anymore after this, even their family branches in the other cities will be badly affected by this after we took this skeletal Prince Heller", Prince Raslee told us.

"Did you know all along that the Mithridocus family are skeleton magic practitioners, Oriese?" Duke Armanos asked me, now addressing my name informally.

"I just found out myself. And the third reason I gathered everyone here to arrest the Mithridocus family was in case they were indeed deviants who possess this kind of powerful magic. My caution probably paid off", I told them.

"It seems you can handle the skeletons even without us. Only one of your bodyguards has joined the fight. There are two more ladies behind you who are not much weaker than the demon helmet warrior, who hasn't made any move yet", Prince Raslee said to me.

"They prefer the role of a decorative vase, looking beautiful but not getting into the action", I replied to him.

"Did you destroy the entire Mithridocus family in one bold move, Ivan?" Mother Asereth asked me.

"That is mostly thanks to your poison and the skill of your assassins who planted the poison in the Mithridocus family's food", I replied to the mother.

"Poisoning and assassination is what we are good at", she replied to me.

"You should refrain from doing the usual odd jobs from now on though. I'll give jobs to the worshippers of the temple and with good pay", I told the mother.

"We'll still have to take some minor jobs in the city, otherwise we will lose our eyes and ears in the city. We will promise they will only be misdemeanors", she replied to me.

"Hey, look what I found, there are so many treasures in the Mithridocus family", Ratatouille said to me as he slowly dropped treasures to the ground.

When the Mithridocus family came out of their mansion to face the armies of the prince and the noble families, Ratatouille snuck into their mansion, found their secret vault and emptied it.

"How did you get into their secret vault, isn't that locked?" Mother Asereth asked him.

"The Mithridocus family are planning an escape, so some of them are grabbing stuff from their vaults as their leaders fight with the enemies. When I found their vault, the doors were already opened", Ratatouille told us.

"Here, the Temple will share with the profit of this haul. It will last you, for your expenses, a very long time", I told Mother Asereth.

"What about me? I found all those treasures?" the greedy Ratatouille asked me.

"There are more treasures to be found. You don't have space to keep so many treasures anyway", I chided the greedy Anti-Saint.

"I'll make space", he replied to me.

"Orol, did you hear that the Mithridocus family are dark magic deviants? It is a relief that we aren't close to them otherwise we would be implicated in their bad dealings", Orol said to me when I returned to the family mansion.

"Yes, I know about that", I replied to him.

"Master, the young master is the one who went to arrest the Mithridocus family, we will be the last ones to be implicated", Hagar told the duke.

"You are doing something so dangerous again? And you Hagar, why do you only tell me about these after it happened?" Orol asked me and scolded Hagar.

"The young master is unstoppable, by me anyway", he replied to the old master.

"This has to stop. You must stop getting into trouble", Orol said to me.

"Alright, as long as trouble doesn't find me", I replied to him.

"You will be fine once you become an apprentice Conjurer. Be a good boy and practice magic with the conjurers", Orol said to me suddenly.

"What the audition is here already?" I asked them.

"Yes, and I've already enrolled your name to the audition", Orol said to me.
