Nebula and Atlas flew above the clouds. I looked at my hands then had another flashback. I smiled and looked down at the castle. Tsuhori stood in the shadows with Cecilia and waited for my command.
"Strike." I said.
Atlas roared and released a powerful beam of energy at the castle. An explosion happened and Eirine watched the explosion.
"We're under attack!" A knight roared.
"All units at your at stations!" A captain commanded.
"Look at all these pathetic ants below us. Scattering to find any ounce of safety. Order will be restored. No matter what. A disruption in the balance will cost everyone their lives. Without Order and Peace...there is no kingdom." I said and Nebula nodded.
"Tsuhori, Cecilia. You're on." I said.
"Let's go!" Cecilia said then got off Tsuhori and ran toward the castle.
Tsuhori quickly followed behind. The two began to battle against the guards, easily taking them down. Tsuhori grabbed Cecilia and disappeared in the smoke. They went back to hiding and Tsuhori looked at her Crest.
"Master Ryoma. More reinforcements are arriving. We can't progress to the prison." Tsuhori said. "They have weapons that can slay Legendary Beasts. One hit from those will likely kill me."
I crossed my arms and my eyes shined. "Atlas."
Atlas roared and made a quick descent to the castle. He landed on the ground and roared. Eirine created armor made from lightning around his body and hers.
"It's Princess Eirine! Shoot down the dragon!" A guard bellowed.
The soldiers began to fired their guns at Atlas. The bullets turned into ashes within contact against the lightning armor. Atlas roared and his Crest of Destruction shined on his head. He stood on his hind legs then stomped down and pillars of destructive energy crashed down on the soldiers, killing them all.
I watched the multiple explosions and Nebula whinnied. "I know, but soon. Soon Uthea will see true peace. Uthea is our new home. I will teach them morals. No longer will the days of injustice reign supreme. That is where Arcania went wrong. There was no peace. No Order. If only Stella went for the Emperor."
Nebula neighed and whinnied.
"I know. I was too late in helping Arcania, dealing with my own continent. We sent those Holy Order members to help Uphelia bring Order. I didn't think it would fail so miserably. So now I will take matters into my own hands from now on." I said.
Nebula snorted.
I chuckled and rubbed her neck. "One day. One day Utalia will know true peace. One day the entire Human Realm will know true peace. Eliminating Chaos is the true goal aside from restoring my bloodline."
The Crest of Henosis shined on my hand. "It's time."
I nodded and looked serious. "Let's go."
Nebula neighed and flew toward the castle at high speeds.
------
Daika sat on his throne and smirked. "Ahh so it's the Triple Threat and they are all armed with Legendary Beasts. They mean serious business." Daika said as the Crest of Ares shined on his hand.
Soren adjusted his scarf and walked toward the throne room door. "I will make sure they never escape alive."
Klaus smirked and walked toward the door as well, carrying his sword against his shoulder. "I'm with you, little brother."
Moroto walked with them and dark aura surrounded his fist. "They will know the power of Ansatsuken and Qijinmak."
"Do not fail me." Daika said.
------
Cecilia, Eirine, Tsuhori, and Atlas cleared out the entire front of the citadel. Nebula landed on the ground and neighed. They looked at us and I got off Nebula's back.
"From here we go on foot. It's life or death now." I said.
Cecilia and Eirine walked toward me. I held their hands and brought them to my face. I kissed both of their hands and smiled.
"War...It is never pretty. That is why when we make it out alive tonight. We train like crazy for the tournament. I am not losing either of you." I said.
Cecilia smiled at me. "I love you. Saying it now just in case it does become our last time."
"I love you as well..~ You've brought me joy I never thought I could feel..~ That is why I am going to try extra hard for you..~" Eirine said.
I nodded and gently squeezed their hands. "I love you both as well. I will lay my life on the lines for you both.."
Nebula neighed as she noticed Dark Beasts raising from the ground. All of them wielded Dark Crests. Atlas and Tsuhori got on their guard, ready to battle.
I let go of their hands. "It's time to go to battle."
"Right!" They both said and got ready to battle.
I held my hand out and the Crest of Asena shined and I summoned her. The Crest of Ixia replaced the Crest of Asena. "Ixia. Send your strongest beast excluding Therris."
Ixia opened a portal and a knight walked out of the portal. The knight wielded a spear made from nature magic, her armor was made from mythical wood and had vines and moss on it. She had powerful Earth Aura surrounding her body.
"The Knight of Gaia, Viridian. She is the strongest beast I have to offer. The Knight of Gaia specialized in attack potency and has very high defenses. She wields a Divine Weapon known as Gaia's Spear. She-"
"I think we get it by now Ixia." I smiled.
Ixia giggled and crossed her arms. "Alright alright~ Good luck, kisses~"
I blew a kiss at her and she caught it then the portal closed. I looked at Viridian and she saluted to me.
"I am at your command." Viridian said.
I nodded and walked forward. "Let us save Roy."
The Dark Beasts roared at us and fired beams of malefic energy at us. I summoned Arcane in Omni-Protector Mode and stuck the blade into the ground a a barrier blocked the beams. I got into my Atren Stance then used the barrier to deflect the beams back at the Dark Beasts. Multiple explosions happened and the Dark Beasts roared. They charged at us.
I took my sword out of the ground and pointed it at the Dark Beasts then it switched to Willbreaker Mode. "Go!"
My forces rushed into battle and roared. Asena threw her trident at one of the Dark Beasts then the trident exploded. She summoned a new trident and screeched, paralyzing the Dark Beasts.
Viridian sliced the legs off a Dark Beast then twirled her spear. She slashed once more then turned her back on the Dark Beast. A green delayed slash effect appeared on the Dark Beast's neck, killing it. She watched Nebula run past her.
Nebula neighed and The Crest of Galvan shined on her head then a spirit version of Rei appeared on her back. She fired a purification beam at the Dark Beast, purifying it and keeping the beast still. Rei summoned her Raikiri then raised it to the sky. A powerful bolt of lightning struck the Dark Beast. An explosion happened and the Dark Crest was purified into the Minor Crest of Lightning. The Crest flew toward me and powered up my Crest of Conquest.
"Seems like Nebula has the power of Salvation...I have the power of Smiting." I said then smiled as I watched.
Tsuhori and Atlas teamed up against a powerful Dark Beast, firing beams and fox fireballs at it. The two combined an attack and a giant black fox fireball floated over the Dark Beast then crashed down. The fireball hit the beast and it roared in pain then an explosion happened.
Eirine and Cecilia rushed a Dark Beast with light speed attacks then they flipped backwards together and used their Lightspeed Gleam. The beam struck the beast and an explosion happened.
I watched the Dark Crests become purified by Nebula and they all flew toward me and powered up my Crest of Conquest. I looked at my Crest of Conquest.
"Emperor Ryoma! One of the Four Eternal Emperors! The Emperor of Conquest. You think you have what it takes to defeat the Empress of War? You're mistaken! The Tyrant can never beat The Bloodshed! From this point forward, all Central Kingdoms and Northern Kingdoms know of your existence! You are target number one!" Soren said and walked forward.
"Taken you know of my True Title, you must know I am simply a Form of Henosis himself. The other Hero of Origin has their reincarnations...what they don't tell you all is Henosis had TWO Reincarnations. The one on Earth and Ascea. Once Ascea was slain, I took his place with his Crest. I am the Utalia Prophecy! The True Hero sent down from the Sovereigns!" I said then pointed my sword at Soren.
"My true powers as The Tyrant is more than what I lead on. The Tyrant is a Godly Incarnation despite me losing myself during my conquest in Eyica. Now you shall see the power...of The Tyrant!" I bellowed and my aura surged powerfully.
Everyone watched me as I began to transform into The Tyrant. Wings of celestial energy emerged from my back as well as a halo over my head. White armor appeared on my body and a cape formed on the armor with the Crest of Conquest shining on it. I opened my eyes and they shined red.
Everyone felt my Divine Presence and watched me. Nebula neighed happily and hopped up and down. The Tyrant was awakened. The Man of Conquest was awakened. Cecilia and Eirine looked at me with shock. Tsuhori and Atlas bowed toward me. Viridian and Asena bowed toward me.
Soren, Moroto, and Klaus watched this and looked at me. I walked forward and changed my sword into its Divine Trinity form.
"The Divine Trinity. Powered by The Crest of either Original Hero, The Crest of the Reincarnation, and by Divine Power. The Spirit, The Soul, and The Power. Who wishes to challenge me first..?" I asked.
Moroto stepped forward. "Let us relocate our battle."
I watched him walk off then got on Nebula's back. Nebula followed Moroto.
Soren and Klaus walked forward. Cecilia and Eirine walked forward. It was time for the rematch between Soren and Cecilia, and Eirine and Klaus.
"Princess Cecilia! Last time we had an actual battle, you defeated me. The outcome won't be the same! As you see, our plan was to separate Ryoma from you because his summons have to be within his Area to remain active." Soren said then noticed Asena, Tsuhori, Atlas, and Viridian warp away closer to me.
"Hmph...I see. Separating us. You think that's going to help?!" Cecilia bellowed.
"It is because without him close to you, you two can't be boosted by his Uplifting Ability." Klaus chuckled.
"Uplifting?" Eirine asked.
"An ability only he owns. He uses his energy to keep developing you all in battle. You think you two could defeat those Dark Beasts alone?! What a joke. Not even we can complete such a feat without assistance!" Klaus said.
"Now we shall put this little game of cat and mouse to an end. Prepare yourselves! This is your end!" Soren bellowed and transformed into his Perfect Royal Form.
"You have committed a crime worthy enough for execution! Now prepare for a Royal Punishment!" Klaus bellowed and transformed into his Perfect Royal Form.
Cecilia and Eirine transformed into their Base Royal Form and powered up. Their bodies shined red and pink, combining their Lightspeed Form with their Royal Form. It was the only way they could keep up with Soren's and Klaus's Perfect Royal Forms.
-----
Moroto and I stood in an empty battlefield. He walked in a circle and so did I. He transformed into his Perfect Royal Form and stared at me. I glared at him and lightning crackled around my body.
"The Fall of The Tyrant. It starts now. My Ansatsuken and Qijinmak are undefeatable. I've assassinated beings with Divine Spirits before. You won't be any different, no matter how many Crests you have." Moroto said.
I chuckled darkly and stopped walking. "You have never faced someone like me. I have defeated all Seven Royals of Eyica. I have went toe to toe with Alastor in his Chaos Form. I have challenged Legendary Beasts alone and came on top. My power can not be matched. I am stronger than your Goddess of Utalia, Stella."
"Ha! You could never be stronger than her. Not even Aria!" Moroto said and stopped walking.
"Aria. Ruler of Genten. A name I haven't heard of in years. Maybe she's the one who helped build Uthea. No matter, it's a shame her hard word is ruined with people like you." I said.
"Let us see how strong you truly are." Moroto said and got into his stance.
"You will regret your decision." I said and got into my stance.
"Come, Emperor Ryoma." Moroto said.
The Battle of Royals has officially begun. Roy's life depends on us winning our battles. Memories of the start of my conquest in Uthea up until now flashed in my head. I made a promise to Lily to bring Roy back. I have never broken a promise before, I won't start now. Dead or alive, Moroto needed to be defeated.
To Be Continued....
