Chapter 262: The White Lady of Death



Chapter 262: The White Lady of Death

"Who else knew about the ambush?"

Arwen asked Noa while crushing Teru under a force field. 

"Only me and those freaks in black masks, I don't know their names"

Noa was still in control of Reghys's spell and unable to lie. The box in Noa's hand contained not only the Weludin pill but also the spell imprint of Reghys which was able to control Noa's mind from distance without being Reghys physically present in the castle. The only drawback was the spell could only last fifteen to thirty minutes but it was more than enough time for Arwen to get the truth out of Noa's mouth.

"Where can we find these freaks you keep mentioning?"

Arwen didn't dare to underestimate those cannibals as they were skilled enough to ambush Don and kill him and also, some of them were living right under their noses the whole time like the old man Vivian captured.

"I don't know, they use a teleporter to come and go"

The more he heard about those cannibals, the more they startled him. It was nearly impossible to trace the location of the teleporter array and that was why none of their enemies could find the location of Everlight. Besides, even for a group of highly trained Energy tracers, it would be hard to find whether the teleporter array was used or not in a certain place.

"When do you plan to meet them next?"

"I don't know, they appear as they wish"

While Noa was blabbering everything out, Teru struggled against Arwen's force field but he couldn't do anything against a Mid Grandmaster, after all, Teru was only a Mid Great master.

Arwen was very careful of not letting Teru alert the soldiers nearby as for now, Noa and Arwen seemed to like having a pleasant conversation, nothing more, nothing less.

"Do you know anything about the kidnapping of a girl who worked in Luther and Granner?"

There was a moment of silence when Arwen asked the question before Noa answered him

"Yes, she's in the dungeon

Black lines appeared on Arwen's forehead as he continued

"Why is she in the dungeon? What do you want with her?"

"Her eyes"

A shiver run down through Kayako's spine when she heard Noa as Arwen raised his brows

"What do you mean? Explain yourself"

After hearing the old man and his clansmen cannibalism story, he felt sick and guessed that Noa was planning to do some sick thing to the girl.

"She has beautiful eyes so I'm planning to take her eyes as mine during my transformation"

"You sick piece of shit"

Arwen cursed Noa and wanted to gouge out his eyes in anger

"How many people have you kidnapped?"

"Fifteen"

"From where?"

Even though Agoria and Emir were protected by the black-armored men, one with resources like Noa could still kidnap the commoners without making a fuss.

"Mostly from outer lands, Ishikara villages"

Subconsciously Arwen felt relieved to hear that he didn't kidnap the citizens of Agoria and Emir but after thinking that the outer lands were once his home before Don came to them, he clenched his fist as Teru started to spat blood due to the sudden increase in the force.

"NOA!"

When Arwen was about to ask another question, the castle ground suddenly trembled as a loud murderous voice echoed through the entire kingdom.

"She's here"

Arwen could recognize the person which the voice belongs, Arrora.

The sudden tremble and the interference of Arrora broke the connection between Noa and Reghy's spell as Noa clenched his head due to the headache and stumbled back a few steps dropping the box in his hands.

"What happened?!"

Noa asked as his face froze when he noticed Teru lying on the ground and struggling against a force field. His face immediately turned ugly as killing intent started to radiate from his body.

His stare at Arwen and Kayako was nothing but murderous as he took out a pair of daggers from his space ring.

"What did you do? Who are you?"

He could hear the footsteps and soldiers shouting outside.

"You have committed a crime against his majesty Don by funding and supporting the ambush, Noa, no point in denying it Noa, the whole kingdom heard the truth from you"

"WHAT?!"

"STAND DOWN OR DIE!"

BOOM!

Another thunderous roar reverberated the kingdom as Arwen heard a loud explosion outside.

**************************

At the moment Taylor was at the gates of Ishikara castle with a huge battalion of black-armored soldiers. Before them on the other side were the soldiers of Ishikara who had adorned the silver armor with red stripes while a bunch of groups of mages were standing on the tall buildings and preparing to cast spells anytime.

Considering Taylor's unit was not meant to fight in a war, they were standing behind the main force with Vivian. A few moments ago, he and his unit were training as usual when they were summoned by Vivian and teleported into Ishikara. At first, he had no idea what happened or where they are but it all changed when they saw Noa talking through the vast mirrors that anchored around the Capital.

What Noa said startled the entire Ishikara as he confessed his hand in the ambush of their king. A while ago, the amount of black-armored men in Agoria increased exponentially and the usual cheery Nanbu, their combat trainer became gloomy. But now, they knew why and what's the reason behind the sudden invasion of Ishikara. However, every single one of them wondered and worried about King Don's health and safety because even though Noa talked like they killed him in the ambush, they knew that Noa's ambush ended in failure as they saw King Don just a few days ago.

Taylor could see the people of Ishikara running around wreaking havoc in fear of the sudden turn of events and even he himself shivered at the sight of two thousand black-armored soldiers and the thousand soldiers of Ishikara.

Unlike them, the trainees, he could sense the killing intent radiating from the black-armored soldiers who were standing on the front and since the archers didn't wear any helmet fully covering their faces, Taylor could see the murderous intent in their eyes.

But the two thousand black-armored soldiers didnt scare the shit out of the soldiers of Ishikara but the woman in white armor who was floating on a sword in the sky above them.

"Heavenly level"

Taylor and his group mumbled under their breath and stared at Arrora with widened eyes and mouths. This was the first time they saw a Heavenly level cultivator in real life and the power of the Heavenly level cultivator.

With a single fireball spell, she destroyed the huge statue of King Noa that was placed at the center of the town square. 

Currently, there was fear in each and every one of the soldiers of Ishikara. They could see the two thousand black-armored soldiers surrounding their capital and staring at them with murderous intent while their King Noa was talking to some new faces without any idea of what's been happening outside.

None of them had any idea how they were able to place the mirrors around the kingdom which projected the throne hall and Noa's conversation to the entire kingdom. The generals of Ishikara knew that King Don's soldiers were well within their right to attack them after their king conspired to kill him but they had sworn loyalty to their king, so they had to fight to protect him.

"Soldiers of Ishikara, you have all heard your king, he planned to kill our King. So we are here to seek justice and punish King Noa for his crimes, including the kidnappings of your fellow citizens"

The soldiers of Ishikara looked up and saw a youth flying on a sword behind the girl in white robes.

"We'll give you the same options that we gave to the previous ruler of Agoria, King Garreth, and his men, stand down and we'll not harm you but if you choose to fight us,"

He didn't finish his sentence as the girl in white robes raised her hands and stopped him

"NOA! You'll die today!"

Arrora roared looking at the pagoda-shaped castle as the soldiers became agitated. And when they saw her magical fluctuations skyrocket, they immediately shouted at their men, realizing that she's about to attack the castle.

"ATTACK!"

"For Ishikara!"

The soldiers of Ishikara rushed towards the soldiers of Everlight shouting battle cries but they halted their steps the moment they witnessed the thousands of swords made of Life energy appearing behind the girl floating in the sky.

"Falling swords"

Nanbu looked at the thousands of swords in the sky and shivered in fear as he knew this spell, it was a Sky Level ancient spell. However, he could sense the power of the spell was increased by many folds due to the bound energy.

The swords in the sky were trembling violently and from the ground, it looked like thousands of glistening stars appeared in daylight. The mere sight of thousands of swords hanging above their heads sent a chill through their spines as they gasped for air in shock and fear.

The Ishikara soldiers cast whatever defense spell they knew on themselves and formed a shield wall around them to defend themselves from the attack.

"The white lady of death!"

Taylor and his group swallowed their fear and looked at Arrora like they were watching a god of war with eyes full of worship and terror.

"GO!"

Arrora shouted and waved her hands at the soldiers as the swords soared through the sky targeting each and every soldier of Ishikara.
