One by one the phantom warriors fall, none was able to even lay a single scratch on Alexander even at his current form. The prince could not help but get irritated, feeling tricked into fighting the soldiers that didn’t even manage to put up a proper battle for him.“Where is that warrior? This can’t be it, where are the more powerful phantoms!” He groaned, gnawing his teeth as he saw that there were barely any phantoms left.Though there were more enemies than before, his soldiers were easily able to fend them off, being the lower kinds that they used to take on before.“Sire, perhaps it dared not to show its face again, after going through that humiliating defeat against you,” lord Slog quickly states as he looks around checking on things.“No, I can feel it, that warrior is here somewhere.” Alexander’s guts were telling him that it was nearby, as he could feel the chill in hi

Alexander kept jumping from one place to another, dodging every spear and sword that came at him. He tried to defeat as many enemies as he can while moving, trying to help his men who were having a hard time fighting against the phantom warriors. Even while doing all of those things, he still did not lose his main goal, and that was to reach Kaya at all costs.“Come and let's see you save your precious witch,” Kaya screamed out loud, mocking the man to force him to get closer.The energy kept bursting forth from her body together with the emergence of several more phantom soldiers, making it hard to get close.Though it seemed like she was unstoppable, Alexander knew how much power is being drained from her body. He noticed the sudden quivering of Kaya’s lips, every time she’d create new phantom soldiers.Not wanting to waste any more time, Alexander lunges forward, covering himself with his dark energ

After the disappearance of lady Kaya, prince Alexander went into an uncontrollable rage. To try to quell their liege's anger, lord Slog had created a search party, using a third of their army.For months, the prince’s soldiers went in search of the lady to no avail. The whole hunt was only forced to a halt when the changing environment of the land became more of a hindrance.A year had passed, the lady Kaya's whereabouts remained unknown. And on that year, half of the empire’s forces marched out of the castle, returning to the west. The witches, due to their transgression was left to tend to the remaining forces. As punishment, they had to keep the city of Lusha in tack with the remaining forces that they had, until the prince returns.A few months after Prince Alexander left the kingdom of Aselaysia, he had begun another bloody war within the empire. Now setting his eyes on the northern part of their land, the said last remaining area that

“Wouldn’t taking back the capital gives us an advantage, my lady?” Kirei asks, thinking about what the Count had said before.Karilaya let out a deep sigh remembering the issue at hand. “Let’s say we manage to get the capital back, how long do you think will it take for the empire to lay siege on it again? If we weren’t able to protect it with our full force before, how will we protect it with our meager numbers now? The only reason why we are alive, free, and striving today is all because the imperial soldiers don’t know where we are and have no way to traverse through the jungle because of the changing weather.” It was one of the few things that had kept them safe through all these years.“That’s the reason why you are taking your time fixing the mana pools,” Soraya quickly voiced out her thoughts, realizing what their lady had been doing all this time.“Yes, If it wasn&r

“It’s a trap!” The men kept shouting as one by one their comrades were falling in battle.Black knights continued to come out of the carriages, even the merchants that were driving them were soldiers in disguise. One by one people were getting caught, getting knocked out, or worst, killed.“Everyone, retreat, retreat at once,” the Count ordered.The ones who were trained under the said lord were able to make their way out of the smog, allowing them to escape. But it was different for the townsfolk that came along. Having not much coordination, knowledge of how to fight, where to go, and what they should do. They were unable to properly make their way out, causing several of them to get caught by the enemy.“Giro, everyone’s running away!” Ryho was now panicking seeing several of the soldiers that they were with moving back into the forest.The three boys had just finished
