Chapter 74: The New Queen & King Saga | Act I : Reminiscence Of Invasion Arc (Episode 1)

The fragment drenched in blood left a minor stain Sophia’s face.

Sora: Sacred Treasure: Rho Aias. A barrier iridescent rocket larkspur Flower Shield. A powerful neon pink shield that can block anything. It has seven pedals that represents seven layers of defense. The barrier surrounded everybody that’s around me except for Sophia and Kane. The barriers' height reaches about twelve feet and sixteen feet in width. This covers my familiars to Benson.

Kane: A sacred treasure, that’s a rare treat to see. But there will be more rare, after I kill you, boy! And I’m going that little vixen Valencia. Sophia: You won’t get the chance. Kane: Enough talk. Kane put two hands on his golden mace. He proceeds to rush at Sophia, Kane used his golden mace and swung at Sophia various times, but Sophia precisely avoids Kane’s onslaught, just by vanishing before the mace could ever connect.

Kane went for a horizontal swing, in return Sophia parried his mace with her rapier, Kane’s hands were in the air, his defenses were broken for a second, but that’s all Sophia needs.

Sophia instantly surrounds her legs with light magic and proceeds to blitz the living hell out of Kane, she’s thrusting her blade seven times per second. Blood begin gushing out onto the snow, Kane is back peddling. Every time Kane tries to swing his mace, Sophia doubles her strike speed with her rapier, Kane is being gradually push back to the portal.

She got it on lock. If Sophia ever break your defense, it’s pretty much over. She won’t let you recover, not even for a second.

Sophia: It’s over! Light Magic: Heaven’s Strike! On the last strike, her rapier is coated in light magic, the last strike landed dead center in Kane’s chest, and it created several mini explosions across his massive torso, and that almost sent him flying inside of the portal, but it off by a couple of inches.

Sophia jumped at Kane, but she was cut off by Deshon being in the mid-air who recovered and accelerated with lightning magic.

Sophia avoids Deshon but in the process of falling to the ground. Deshon tried to punch Kane in the face, with Deshon lightning coated right fist. But Kane used his left hand and facepalmed Deshon and threw him at Sophia. Sophia caught Deshon, and Kane quickly recovered, Sophia pushes Deshon out of the way. Kane was about to be right at her doorstep.

Sophia: Light Magic: Blinding Light! Sophia rapier exploded with bright golden yellow aura. Kane was blinded for a quick second. Sophia got on top of Rho Aias. Sophia: Light Magic: One Hundred Arrows. One hundred bright small circles appeared all around in the surrounding area and in an instant, one hundred arrows was shot at Kane.

Kane shielded his torso with his tree trunk arms. Kane roared like a wild savage beast, his hair became slightly lighter and his black and white aura expanded. And he became even taller. He was standing at least seven-foot-six but now, he stands at seven-foot-ten. All of the light magic arrows disappeared. Blood started to drip from his arms.

Kane throws his mace at Sophia, in return she deflects right back him. Kane catches his mace, and runs up on Aias. Sophia flew ten feet off the ground, Kane takes a massive leap in the air tries to knock down Sophia with his mace, but Sophia parried his attack and Kane is descending back down. Before a single foot landed back on the top of Aias, Sophia instantly got behind him because of the use of light magic. And she let it rip, she started striking Kane’s back thirty-two times in half a second.

It took me a long while to see her attacks. For a normal mage, you won’t be able to see the tip of her blade and that’s at normal speed. But when you get to this, unless your reaction speed is top-notch and you have light magic, maybe even lightning magic, but even still, you have to put the work in, regardless.

Kane ends up falling off Aias and landed on his stomach. Sophia: Time to end it! Ancient Forbidden Magic: Heaven’s Punishment. Sophia raised her rapier, red aura engulfed the entire blade. Then she infused it with lightning magic to add that extra kick to it, and it adds insult to injury.

Kane quickly gets back up. I may not be able to see Sophia’s face, but I know she’s looking down upon him literally and figuratively. I honestly can’t stand it, when she does that. I’m glad that I don’t have to see it!

Kane taunts her by gesturing bring it. Sophia: Oh, say goodbye, you fucking cunt! Sophia threw her rapier at Kane, and effortlessly avoids it. Kane throws his mace at her and rushes towards Sophia. And this fight is over. I’ve seen this move countless times. You can’t attack her, you can only defend.

The mace went through Sophia, and it ended up being a light projection clone that ended shattering into pieces. The real Sophia threw the sword pass him and moved at the speed of light to catch the sword, and she’ll get you where you at least expected.

Sophia flying from Kane’s left side, and she thrust her blade right through his ear, blood started dripping off her blade, Kane outright grabbed her right hand that’s on holding the blade. Kane tightens up his grip, Kane pulls out her rapier while moving her hand back.

Sophia engulfed her left hand with light magic, she kept her fingers together and repeatedly strikes Kane’s ribs sixty-four times in the span of two seconds. Kane took a knee, Sophia was about to get free from his grip then glimpse up, and he saw Deshon running at full speed with his golden gauntlets engulfed in water and lightning magic.

Something just snapped within him. He let out devastating booming beast roar. His muscles somehow gotten even bigger and his black and white aura occupies a couple more yards of real estate.

Kane tighten up his grip, and Deshon goes for a huge superman punch, unfortunately it was shutdown with Kane swinging Sophia like a bat at Deshon. Deshon was on the ground once more, his nose is fucked up. Deshon is bleeding profusely broken nose that's almost covering his left eye. Deshon: It’s not over! I’m going to beat the living dog shit out of you! Come on Sophia, we can do this!

Damn it, Deshon! Every time, this fight is about to be over then you go on and fuck it up! Sophia had him beat multiple times, and you keep getting in her way. I should’ve let Brok kill you! It was a free pass! But you want to get some cheap shot, that wouldn’t hurt a fucking beagle! I hate trolls so much. No, that would be disrespectful to trolls. Bitch ass niggas? No, a bitch ass nigga, would’ve taken the hint. He’s essentially in his own bloody category.

Sophia is out gas for the moment, she just has to catch her breath, sixty-four strikes in two seconds is a lot and doing it with your non-dominant hand. But Kane was able to endure that attack. Sophia didn’t make a mistake, that attack would put down most royals. I think she thought, why keep attacking the same places, and I think she even had some doubt that she could slice off his head.

If I’m her, I’m going for his last eye and severing his nape. Or she could forget the close quarters combat, and just go long range, and stop trying this close to medium combat. He can’t stop that shit. And you know it, stop playing around like I did. There’s no reason to get fucking hurt, waste stamina and mana.

Deshon tries to tackle Kane, but Kane wasn’t having not of that foolishness. Kane plant his boot on his face, and sent him flying. Sophia: Ancient Forbidden Combo Magic: Lightning Magic + Light Magic: Heaven’s Splitting Lightning Strike! Golden lightning struck Sophia’s rapier, Kane immediately started crushing Sophia’s wrist.

But my mi vida didn’t scream, she absorbed magic through the rapier, she’s transfer the magic from the rapier through her body to her left hand, resulting in her bursting with golden lightning and at the same time burning her skin. She repeatedly struck Kane’s wrist. Kane’s grip loosen and Sophia was able to get free from his grasp. She transferred the golden lightning magic back to her rapier. Deshon came back rushing to Kane.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Deshon: Water Magic: Water Dome! Lightning Magic: Giant Animal Lightning Cage! A water dome formed around Kane and then a twenty-foot lightning animal cage formed around the water dome. Sora: Wait, that’s actually useful. Sofi, full send it! Kane ran through the dome and cage without giving a second thought and got to Deshon in a hurry.

He grasped his throat and started to squeeze the life out of him. Valencia: Sophia, go for his Achilles, then sever the nape! Sophia without hesitation went the speed of light, and she slashed Kane’s Achilles then nape. Then she slowed back down in order to not waste more stamina and mana.

Kane went down to the ground, and dropped Deshon. Sophia took a few steps backwards. And she looked at Valencia, Valdis and I and she gave the thumbs up. Sora: Aias, thank you. Aias instantly vanish, Sophia ran over to me, she’s exhilarated. Sophia: Enjoyed my performance? Sora: What is there to enjoy? The fight could’ve been over a few minutes ago. Sophia: Give me my credit. Sora: You did well.

Justin: Can one of you fuckers, heal some of us?! Particularly me. Justin stood up and grabbed his jaw. Sora: You’re alright. Justin: That oversized orangutan uppercut the living shit out of me. Sophia collapsed in my arms. Sora: You’re alright? You’re kinda banged up. Sophia: Just send me to your domain, I’ll be fine.

Justin walked over and looked at Kane. He turns around and he seems a little worried. Justin: Cut that motherfuckers head off. We don’t need him coming back to life. Sophia: I got the nape. Valencia: Sophia, how deep was the cut? If it’s not a clean then he’s only down, but not out. Valdis: I don’t think she got it, deep enough.

Sophia: I’m so exhausted all of the sudden. Sora, what about teach? Sora: You saw Kane kill him, right in front of you. Valdis: Wait, is it normal for a dead body to do that? I finally pay attention to Benson lying on the blood-red snow surrounded in his own blood. Benson’s right index keeps twitching.

Sora: It’s normal for bodies to do something like that. Probably his last brain signals sending. I’ll check for a pulse just to be sure, I will officially declare dead or not. I crouched down and held his wrist and checked for pulse. Oh, shit!

Sora: He’s alive! I surrounded green aura around my hands, and hover above Benson’s split skull. Valdis: Shit! Justin: Always check for a fucking pulse. Valencia crouched down, and her hands were surrounded icy cyan. She hovered over Benson’s gaping chest wound.

Sora: Thank you. Justin: Why don’t you use, that life magic, restore spell? Sora: It only works with injuries from the very minor to some serious ones. But it doesn’t work with anything like critical condition. Justin: What about healing pulse or your water magic, healing bubble.

Sora: Let me focus. You use the right tools for the right job. Thank you, Valencia. Valencia: It’s better to save a life then take them all of the time. Justin: I’ve learned from experience that the place to save lives is in the field. Not an office. And sometimes, the only way to save a life… Valdis: Don’t even finish it. His split skull was finally closed. I move my hands over to heal with Valencia.

Justin: Hey, guys! Sora: If it’s another joke then save it for later, I have to focus. Justin: Deshon, is kicking the body again. Sora: Justin, go cut off Kane’s nape. Finish the job, it’s a simple job. Take care of it. Also, tell Deshon to give me my notepad back before I send Brok or one of my lovely familiars. And I will order to kill, no matter what. Valdis: Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. I’ll cut off his head. Justin: I got it, bro. I can handle a small task like this.

Deshon: Tsar, Ja, Ralo, multiply the challenges, multiply the challenges, multiply the challenges! My reward is all paid and full, I will be reigned victorious! A mammoth sized brown and red eye made of gas appeared right before Deshon, it started blinking then it transformed itself into a chocolate-brown colored portal opened right in front of Kane’s body.

You can take a glance inside the portal, you can just tell it’s a wasteland filled with burnt small trees, mix with large sand hills, and the horizon in there seems to be burnt orange with a tinge of dark-brown. Then a forty-foot sized yellow anaconda hurried out of the portal and tried bite Deshon, but Justin tackled him out of harms' way, Justin quickly moved to his position by using lightning magic.

The anaconda sets its eyes on Valencia, and it slithered its way towards us. Right before it was about eat us, it stopped in the middle of it’s attack. When it stared at Valencia, it slithered away to the portal, but Valencia put her hand forward and hand turned into complete ice, she clenches her hand, the anaconda was frozen in place. Then she unclenched her hand, and snake became nothing but mist.

Valencia: What a coward. Valdis: He knew what was up. Then someone else came out the first portal, it was Shorty! A short and ripped black guy with a strong jawline and a solemn facial expression with short black dreadlocks in his late teens. He’s wearing a black shirt and wearing gray boxers while wearing some slides. He has hand and wrist wraps on. He took a massive leap and jumped over to Kane.

Shorty: Cutting it mighty close, bro. Deshon: Hey, nigga! I’m beat that ass again! Then a behemoth of a man, came out the second portal he must be over eight feet tall, his muscles aren’t as big as Kane but it’s a close second, and it’s more tone up. He has this dark-brown skin complexion and his eye color is amber. He wears a black durag, a sleeveless black compression shirt and black combat pants and boots and has a full black beard. He looks around and seems irritated at first then he locked his focus on Valdis, Valencia, Sophia, and my familiars and I. Kane got up and his injuries from his fight with Sophia were all gone. Kane and Shorty was startled by the new guy.

Kane: Abel. You’re finally back, it’s been like thirteen years. Shorty: Welcome back, brother. Abel sighs. Abel: Who put you on the ground like that? Kane: The blonde, she’s a royal. Abel: So, the blonde put you on the ground, correct? Shorty, were you part of that fight?

Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN8E8LDCppY&list=PLW8u2prmd9kudKGJ6Eo7eQsjer-RdN1-I&index=371

Shorty: Just got here, bro. Kane: Yeah, but I’m ready to go at it again, brother. Abel is furious at Kane, he grabbed Kane by the throat and lifted him up with one hand. Kane is beating on Abel’s arm, but it was ineffective.

Abel: My mace is on the ground in your opponents possession. I let you hold on to my mace, and you disrespected it. And you dare to lose, to a young blood!? You have our families’ power at your call, and you fucking lose?! You’re no little brother of mine. As a matter of fact, I only need one brother. Abel’s fingers went inside of Kane’s neck. He raised his left fist above his head, and slammed it down. And there was no more Kane, his head was completely gone, blood got on his face and Shorty’s, and the skull fragments hit Justin and Deshon. Abel tossed Kane’s body to the portal.

Abel: Shorty, no... Seth, heed my words clear. Go whatever you call home, and want you to train like there’s no tomorrow. And do you have kids? Did Kane have kids? Shorty: Yeah. Both of us, have some. Abel: Spread the news, that Kane Carter is dead. And you Seth, will no longer go by the nickname Shorty. Am I clear? Shorty: Yeah. Shorty took a massive leap back to the first portal, and it closed right behind him.

Abel: I sense some strong people in here! Who wants the first fight? Is it the ice princess? Or the Estella’s savior? Or the familiars that are relaxing? Or maybe it’s the guy, that looks like Rex Titan? All of you at once or a small bunch of you, or if you’re crazy, then one on one. Deshon: I’m first! Abel started laughing at Deshon, Abel gestured to Deshon to come here. Deshon ran up on Abel.

But Abel stop him in his tracks by gesturing to stop. Abel step closer to Deshon, and took his glasses and toss it back to the portal, and then proceeds to rip off Deshon’s left ear. Blood spills onto the snow, Abel holds Deshon’s left ear, right in front of him. Abel grab Deshon’s bloodied battered hands, and drops the missing ear into his hands.

Abel: Go sit in the corner and think about what you just did. Justin: Damn! Abel: Five-eleven nigga, since you want to be loud, come here. Justin used lightning magic tried to get away beyond the cabin, but Abel intercepted him in a blink of an eye. Abel walks Justin back to their original spot. Abel: Don’t run. Now since you ran away, like a coward. Now, tell me a joke before I ripped your nuts off. And I’ll just knock you out.

Justin: So a Mexican man and black man, and a white guy were driving down the highway, when their car breaks down. They saw a farm up the road. Abel put his hand over Justin’s mouth. Abel: Boring. You almost put me to sleep. Abel grabbed Justin’s sword, and threw at Deshon’s feet. Deshon: Are you going fight me or what, pussy?!

Abel: People like you. Abel kicked Justin in his nuts. Justin cries out in pain, but it was muffled by Abel’s hand. Deshon: You’re a bitch ass nigga! Abel: Come here, before I ripped out your friends’ spine out. Deshon ran up on Abel, Abel spit on Deshon’s face then bite off Justin’s left ring finger off. And spit it at Deshon's forehead.
