Chapter 21

Part 1

Name: Hunter Saw

Species: Sword Fish Saw

Overall Size: 50 meters

Diet: Will hunt anything they can

Threat Level: Blue

A school of hunters that prey on anything but mainly focus on ships as they find it easier to destroy.

As the hunter saws came out one by one they exceeded hundreds swarming the king like dolphins swimming together.

"I'll send you pests back into the ice age." The king screamed unleashing his frost to freeze the whole sea around him.

"ICE AGE"

The moving hunter saws froze as the frost traveled fast freezing one kilometer this time but that wasn't enough to put an end to them.

Because before the king celebrated more of them came from below destroying the frozen water like it was paper glass.

They were all in formation, pincering him from the two sides.

Crack Crack Crack

A fast one came close to the king attacking his side.

"Roar"

With an angry roar, the king slammed with his claws sending it flying back to where it came from and he next jumped up unleashing another freezing attack.

"Freezing Breath"

A breath of frost froze from where he jumped as the head of a hunter saw with big horns appeared there.

It seemed they were aiming for the pincering to be a distraction while they attacked from below.

While he was in the air more hunter saws jumped up trying to pierce him from all sides.

"ICE BALL"

The king's voice echoed as a ball of ice enveloped him.

Boom

Six hunter saws came from around him crashing into the ice ball shattering it as they smashed the king from all sides.

And instead of piercing him their saws only came into contact with the surface of his skin like crashing into a hard object.

"Rrraaargh"

"How is this happening?" The king was confused all in all.

To him who could sense the strength of these creatures it was impossible to take in the fact that they were doing damage to him instead of dying from being frozen.

Yet they are trying to pierce him while destroying his ice which should be impossible.

"No… No, no, no no, no no, no no, no, stop this I'm not weak." The king felt anger in him for not being able to one-shot them.

The hunter saws jumped in celebration since they are taking down strong prey with ease it seemed to them.

The king's head spam looking at them fiercely as they jumped around their number increasing but then suddenly he thought back to the time of his birth.

"HUH?" The king's voice resounded surprised with himself.

"I thought it was weird that my ice powers had not enough coldness to them, so it was my ignorance of thinking that thing only took the energy while I have the frost with me."

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

"Indeed this king has disgraced himself all this time relying on something that's not mine but I guess since I'm the monarch of frost I should call upon the element."

Understanding the reason for his negligence the king's aura surged as his mane turned to frosty blue but it still looked like clouds and the black crown of flames also turned frosty blue catching the attention of the hunter saws.

"Winter is my breath, as the monarch of frost I command the elements bend to my will-frozen world."

"ICE AGE"

This time with the intention to kill the king's word froze an area within a five-kilometer radius of him.

No hunter saw or any creature in the water within the area survived as they froze to death inside-out.

"I've got the heart of a lion and you've got the heart of fish a prey that's why you are part of my diet so die with grace because I'm the king that will bring this world to its knees…"

Learning how his powers work the king leaped up as wings of ice flapped on his back carrying him through the air like a flying creature.

In this battle the king was inexperienced with his powers and even with what damage the hunter saws did it was not serious nor did they actually pierce him.

And the reason why the hunter saws, again and again, broke his ice was simple although these hunter saws are blue-leveled when they are together their attacks can destroy many hard things.

They have a unique ability called saws of school so long as the school attack together nothing stands in their way that is why they are known to attack ships.

The king's dark cloudy mane turned frosty blue and the crown of black flames on his forehead also became blue during the battle but he was unaware of it as many thoughts related to his birth appeared in his head.

Part 2

Back on the Amazon Island.

Right after the king left the island.

The queen was leaning on her king-sized bed throne while many girls set next to her and some played with her wings and hair as she read to them a children's book.

"So, the wolf disguised as the sheep mother knocking on the door with a high-pitched voice that of like their mother… one of the little lambs in excitement hurried to the door about to open when the other lambs stopped him saying look at the legs that's not mother it's a wolf in disguise. But then…"

Before the queen could continue with the story a guard interrupted her.

"My queen, my queen there is an urgent report." The guard said as she panted afterward. "Huff" "Huff" "Huff"

"Calm down and speak slowly by the way weren't you supposed to inform your commanders about this before reaching me, since I'm in the middle of storytelling.'

"Apologies my queen but it's the empire's agents the jesters." Said the guard.

"The jesters what about them, that still doesn't require my immediate attention."

"But my queen they are requesting to come into the island."

"Oh, really then that's different go tell my daughter she can handle this one, and don't forget to inform your superior before coming to me with this stuff during story time, now go."

"Yes, my queen…" The guard left with a bow not disturbing the queen and the children no more.

"And you girls don't forget to help out the graduating class this year I heard Anisa and Jojo are forming a new group, Ok."

"Yeah... Big sisters Anisa and Jojo always do amazing stuff." Said one of the girls.

"Ah, now then where were we…" The queen went back to telling the story to the girls as she was not bothered by the intrusion of the empire into their territory.

There were two vessels belonging to the empire near the island of women waiting for permission to come into land.

Normally the empire's forces do what they want but in this situation, there are here for something that does not require force unless necessary so they waited patiently.

On the ships were jesters in formation but on one of the ships were two unique jesters with costume-designed outfits one of them was a woman with a green and black gown with a Victorian top hat and a jester's mask with two sides also green and black with hearts.

Queen of Hearts, of the Masked Jesters unit leading two thousand jesters the numbers 2-9 of hearts, and with her two bodyguards Ten of hearts.

The other person was a black man whose whole body had a tattoo of a white skeleton although only his head was visible due to him wearing a white jester outfit that resembled a suit.

He also had a top hat that said Joker with two cards and on the cards was a skull.

This man was sitting on the ship's figurehead playing with cards.

"So, that traitor Joker's been here the whole time under our noses heh, he's really played us hiding for fifteen years." The man spoke, his voice was low that no normal person can hear it but the Queen of Hearts heard him loud and clear in her ears like it was a speaker in her head.

"Yep, and believe it or not he's playing a teacher in there." Said the Queen of Hearts.

"Really what a brick… though I can't wait to fight him." He spoke again looking up at the island above them which was held by stone hands.

"That is not why we are here don't forget that Death-Joke or rather should I call you White Joker…" The Queen of Hearts spoke with a commanding tone as her Ki surged.

"Whoah, whoah easy there they already told me so you don't have to repeat that, damn and that was just a joke why need to be so bossy." He spoke to himself still looking up as the cards flew around him.

Part 3

A trail of snowflakes was in the air as the king flew with his ice wings.

The altitude he was flying wasn't high but no fish can bother at the heights he was going.

"Haaa, there it is the first of my quest…"

In his vision were tall grasses growing on the surface of the water this astonished him although he was told he's gonna see stuff like this going outside of the island.

Yes, it surprised him nonetheless.

With vast grass plains growing in the water he's come to the beginning of the forest oceanic a forest in the ocean that spans millions of miles.

Entering the Overstory first layer of the forest oceanic.
