Chapter 51

Ava's POV

"Dead Bodies."

I slammed my mouth shut as I felt disgusted by what the kind of psycho was the King of this dimension had did , only for the sake of hunger of power. Thankfully , Pierce who was stood by my side was comforting me by the drawing small circles by my back , at least that made me feel much more comfortable than the start.

I turned my head to Pierce , noticing his calm reserved eyes by this newly received information from Orizon. Was he actually used with something like this? Things that were bloodshed and violent? Wonder what happened on Daemos....

"Dead...bodies?"
"It was apparently above the level of the living beings of the kingdom."
"What- What was so even special about this level of the society of the current kingdom? When it was just some lifeless bodies laying on the ground , awaiting to be dispose on nature itself?!"
"That one was not what will happen when it comes to the Skies Kingdom."
Orizon claimed as Leif remained silence , waiting to let Orizon's statement to convince his stubbornness.

"A person who belongs to the Skies Kingdom contains nothing but magic in his soul. The amount of magic was already 60 percent of the body , followed by water , blood and so much more."
Such a biology like topic.

"Although it was dead bodies we're talking here , but letting the bodies stay fresh , then abstract the soul out by sending a foul beast in the room. With it having the ability to abstract the soul in perfect form , its claws can successfully and easily take out the soul by stabbing right across the body , taking out the soul."

"After then , the soul will be either absorbed completely or sliced down and used for many more purposes. But now , it was all just abstracted for magic , for the king. He took large amounts of innocents people of his own kingdom , having a killing spree , just to keep himself on his throne."
Orizon said while walking towards a seemingly cloth covered window as she smacked upon it hard. The cloth dropped as a family picture was revealed underneath. On the picture , was Ocellus , Orizon , with a old man and lady stood in front of them. She then have her hand glided on the picture , as she muttered , "Even my mother , his own wife was not shown mercy upon the actions that he accused her on doing."

"Ocellus's mother?"
"Yes. My mother , she was the nicest person you'll ever met. Her kindness was to that level! ," Orizon shouted as she summoned a vine and stabbed right into the king's face , "That she begged for mercy on what the king had done to her! She could've kill him! She just could've..."

I froze and shocked by what Orizon described and the actions she did on her father. Can't believe someone such kindness will hold on that grudge so strongly , she even prayed for the gods from high above to show mercy when his judgement comes. It was indeed cruel for such people to leave in such way , even having her soul being abstracted from the body and used for bad deeds.

"I was questioned ," I turned to Asch as he had his eyes on the family photo where the king's face was sliced open by the vines , "Why does Ocellus being so much more different than the other members of the royal family? Who was the one being who passed the characteristics of the horns?"

"Well... Funny story here , my mother passed it down to her. She does have horns but due to the duration she had been hiding , it only caused she no longer can reveal them , as it was sealed off. My father never knew , he assumed her as a normal looking goddess , married and gave birth to my sister. When he saw the horns , he accused of her having an affair with some creatures. For her crimes he placed on her , her life ended with a cut on the neck by the swordsman."
Orizon said with her hand obviously shimmering , letting me run towards her and gave her a warm hug. She was first shocked , then returned the hug.

"Cool it down , we're here now to overthrow your father. That selfish man will get his lesson and even he would burn for endless days and nights in the pits of hell , it would never be enough. His crimes deserves much more punishment than just burning in flames. Ain't I right , boys?"
I turned to the demons , who's faces were all hung with a shock expression. I felt a slight panic , but not anymore when Noi agreed with me so is the others as they followed.

"A-Ava is right! Now , Ocellus needs our help!"
"At last , you said something meaningful."
Asch said in his usual humiliating tone.

"At least a useless entity to kill. It would satisfy my blood-lust hopes."
"I'm afraid it wouldn't work on you."
I turned to Casey who was currently sitting on the desk , looking at us.

"His majesty was the God of Dark Arts. Basically any dark spells , magic , potions , even curses can be blessed upon anyone who attack him. His magic was currently strong enough to kill normal lower rank magic user like you guys within 10 minutes , an hour for gods and knights of theirs."
The eyes of the boys widened as they seemingly thought about this decision they was about to make.

As silence took place , Rhys stood out as he spoke , "I will."

"What?!"
"Rhys! It was the King we're facing! God of Dark Arts!"
"It was Ocellus we're talking about here. The goddess who created us , the goddess who protected us. I would do anything , only to ensure her safety , so is Daemos. If it counts in my death or the chances of being cursed , I would do it. I would never mind."
"Rhys- Argh!"
Before Asch could scream in Rhys's face for his seemingly foolishness , he suddenly grabbed himself by the heart as he collapsed on the ground, shouting in pain , so is the others. I rushed to Asch as I looked at his painful expression.

"Casey , all Gold Blood you got , hand them all over!"
Orizon shouted as Casey tossed over a bag while Orizon opened a drawer like place , tossing all of the test tubes that were shining gold into. The moment she slammed shut , Asch's face was relaxed as they soon sat on the ground.

"The blood , was running out..."
"What?"
"Your kingdom , Daemos , was a not qualified kingdom that exist in the world. My father was expecting it to be gone someday. I can't believe he was already starting the fight by letting her creation die first...."
Orizon muttered out loud as Rhys questioned.

"What?"
"As I mentioned , for kingdoms to be lasted longer than the living years of a god , the qualification must be signed by the king and the High Council. But... things happened , making only your world being the only one that was not being filed as a qualified country. And since your kingdom was stabled by the magic of Ocellus's Great Gold Blood , with the condition of the creator not being healthy and not having magic stability , your kingdom falls apart and she will became dust at the same time."
"W-Why?!"
Rhys said out loud in a very nervous tone.

"When the creation of a kingdom was allowed by the High Council themselves , the only consequences of not protecting your kingdom well was becaming dust. It was taking care of a pet , not feeding it well , a guilt will be grew upon you. But this case , was taking care of hundred and thousands of souls , the High Council thought it was a much more bigger responsibility. This is what they called , the rightful judgment."

I was stunned by her words. Rightful judgement , by the mean of taking their lives? I do in fact agreed that the responsibility of taking care of hundreds of souls was huge. But this was just so wrong. Not to mention , the High Council was disbanded for I don't know how many years to now. The King being the ruler , I don't know how much corruption this world will go for now...

"But what was the 'thing' that happened which caused this whole multiverse chaos?"
Asch asked as Orizon turned to Benedict who simply nodded , proceeding with her standing and leading back out to the Memory Lane.

"Why are we brought back here?"
Orizon ignored Noi's question as she turned to us with her raised hand summoning thorn covered vines , one of them even sliced across Rhys's finger , making him yelped in pain.

"Orizon why are you- Hey!"
Rhys was ignored as Orizon pulled him to the statue that was located by the window , letting him grabbed the statue with his currently bleeding hand.

The statue's eyes glowed in purple as it spoke out ,
