“Greetings my lord.How is the preparations going master ?”Jebro asked facing Atillia who was polishing his spear.Atillia was the King of the huns.He was short with tanned skin as all other huns.He had pointy ears like goblins and had pointy teeth like his comrades.Atillia was stronger than other huns.He was said to be strong enough to destroy mountains in an instant.
“Well fine I guess.”Atillia said looking at the sharpness of the spearhead in a hoarse voice.
“Are you really going to attack Burgundy kingdom now my lord?”Jebro asked.
“We are camping here for that you forgot ?”Atillia answered rubbing the spearhead on the stone below.
“But my Lord.Even though they may not have Sigurd in their kingdom I have heard that King Gunther is quite a fighter.Not just him there are many ……”Jebro tried to say with a over caring face.
“Are you doubting my or my men’s skill ?”Atillia said standing up pointing his spear towards Jebro.
“No I can’t even think about that.I have already seen the feats of your strength.But……”Jebro said.
“But what ?Don’t worry about anything I will certainly win this battle for sure.”Atillia said with brimming confidence. “Get the troops ready we will strike them as soon as the sun comes up.”Atillia ordered.
“Yes my lord.”Jebro said with a bow.As the king walked out of his room.
While on the palace of king Gunther.Gunther just awoke from his bed.He placed his hands on the forehead.
“Ahh it hurts like hell.”King said massaging his head. “It looks like I completely lost.My sister was probably right.His swordsmanship didn’t looked like it was for sparing.I knew from just crossing swords from him that he was not just an ordinary human.He was holding back a lot back then.Not just that even those two girls who was with him is also probably stronger than I am.If he was to take care of Run then I would be more than happy But…….I hope Run doesn’t do anything stupid and provoke him.I don’t want to make just him my enemy.”King said to himself getting up from the sleep.
“Oh did you came through King.”Maid who was waiting outside the king’s room asked.
“Yeah.Where are they?”King asked getting up from the Bed.
“They are now at the royal dining hall.They are waiting for you.”Maid said.
“Go and tell them I will be on my was and tell them to start the feast without me.”King said to the maid.
The king got up from bed and went to his closet filled of armors and began searching for a suitable wardrobe for the feast.It was a ritual in Burgundy kingdom to give feast to those whom you were defeated by in a spar.
At the feast hall,Cain was sitting at one end of the dining hall and Lera and Leo was sitting near him.The chair at the opposite end was empty and also the seat for the princess other than that all the advisers of king were present to see the hero whom all the children in the kingdom looked upto.They were praising Cain and congratulating him for defeating the king.
“I can’t comprehend any of this why are the advisers of king congratulating the guy who almost killed their king.”Leo said with a blank face.Sometimes the world just didn’t made any sense when she was with Cain.
“People respect their heroes more than their king.That is one of the regularities of this world just look anywhere you want.”Cain answered.
“They call you a hero but you are not like other heroes.In fact I thought I was the only one who thought you were a hero.”Leo said.
“Well why did you think so?”Cain asked with a smile on his face.He looked like he already knew the answer to that.
“I mean just look at how much of a sadist you are and not just that you don’t care about anyone else other than yourself.”Leo explained.”You even abandoned our world.No ,I forgot.I mean my world in the state of that chaos and came here.And the end of that world is just a matter of time.”Leo said with a sad looking face.
“No your world won’t end like that.”Cain says eating the piece of the steak on his plate. “After all I like that place.And you know why I didn’t restored that world to its previous state?”Cain asked wiping his mouth with a cloth.
“Knowing you probably you will say something like its not interesting.Right.”Leo says with a straight face.This makes Cain laugh a bit.
“Yeah that is one thing but not just that.”Cain said.
“Then what”Leo asked with a curious look.
“Well I didn’t did that because it was not my job to do that.It is some other guy’s job.”Cain said eating an other piece of the meat.
“What do you mean by that?”Leo asked.
“You will see that someday.Be patient,Leo.”Cain answered.
“You ask way too many questions my student just drink this up and chill.”Lera said with a completely drunk face.Putting her hands around Leo’s shoulders and showing the mug of ale on her face.She had a completely drunk face.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
“No I can’t drink that it is the real deal not the milk of some holy dragon.”Leo said pushing off her from her face.”And your mouth stinks teach.”
“So what.It doesn’t matter”Lera said swinging and swirling on her feet.She was also hiccuping .As she was about to fall down Cain caught her.
“Look out Lera you are completely drunk.”Cain said holding her.
“Master.Ohhh…..1….2…..3…..Tghere are maghny masters.Yay.”Lera said with a completely silly look on her face.Leo was ridiculed by seeing her teacher like that.
“Oh Lera.You are reminding me of your training days.When you were such a small kid.”Cain said with a smile.
“I know what will happen next….You will kish me.Right master.”Lera said trying to kiss Cain.Cain lets go of her and she falls down on the floor.”Ouch it hurts….”She says sitting on the floor.Cain looked the other way and adjusted his scarf a little bit before taking his seat back.
“It looks like the king is finally up.”Cain said.Everybody looked towards the seat of king.King was walking towards the room from a distance.He stopped before the table.
“It looks like you guys are having a blast.”King said.
“Says the guy who bets his life for a little bit fun.”Cain says.
“I never knew I would get a chance to fight a god.So I just took the chance.”King answers.
“Oh now I am a god huh.Well Its not like I didn’t saw it coming though.”Cain says he had a completely calm face.
“Well I don’t think a mortal can do things what you can.”King says with a smile.
“Believe me you haven’t seen the limit of what mortals can do.”Cain said.
“Lets leave it at that and continue our feast.”King suggested taking his seat.
“As you say.”Cain said and the feast continued.
The feast was over and the next day arrived the people of burgundy was on the slumber and an unknown danger was approaching them But there was just one man who knew what was going to happen next.
Cain was already sitting on the top of the for.The sun was barely up.Army of huns were marching downhills towards the burgundy kingdom.Cain was using hide so that the guards can’t see him.The guards who were on duty above the fort spotted the army marching towards them.Panic hit them hard.If they were to attack the kingdom in such a time the country was sure to lose.Guards recognized the foe due to the flag of them.It was a red flag with white colored circle on the middle and a golden lion in it.It was surely the flags of the huns.The information spread like fire and reached the ears of the King in just a few minutes.Entire kingdom was on fear due to the rumors of how devastating and cruel the huns were.And not just that Atillia was known as one of the most powerful men of that era.It was said that he could take on all the heroes of that era and still win alone.
Cain jumped down and flew to the front of marching troops.His impact upon landing created an earthquake which not just stopped the enemy marching upon to the kingdom.It also woke up many of the people from their sleep.Entire army was shocked to see a single person standing against the army.But they didn’t try to attack him.They were just standing there and waiting for the dust to settle down.As the dust settled down Cain was walking towards the army with his scarf long enough to touch the ground flying on the back.
“I don’t know who you are.But it is either that your guts or your stupidity that you are doing that.”A general riding a horse shouted at Cain.Cain just clicked his fingers.And that guy began to burn along with his horse.He fell down from his horse and the horse ran towards the army wreaking havoc in between them.The general crawled upto the men behind him.He tried to go near them screaming “Help me! Save me!”.But soldiers backed off afraid of the fire.He at last grasped on of them but before the fire would burn the soldiers he just vanished into bits of embers.
“A mage.Don’t think you are not the only one who knows magic in here.I challenge you.” A guy descended in front of Cain from the sky. “Blue hair and red scarf of flames and ears of the elf.I haven’t heard of any mage with such an appearance.That must mean you are just a rookie trying his skills.But it looks like you chose something which you will regret.”He said to Cain with arrogance filled face.
“Oh it seems like you are way too full of that arrogance.”Cain said stopping his walk.
“You know who you are talking to ?”That guy said activating a magic circle on his hands and taking a pose.
“I wish I didn’t knew.Sometimes being omniconscient can be a drag.”Cain said looking somewhere with a dead eyed face.
“What…..?”The mage asked with a surprised face.Everybody does when someone calls themselves omniscient or things like that.
“Oh nothing.I wasn’t referring to you wizard Oveus.And I know what you are capable of.Even an army like this is just thorn in your path for you.”Cain said sitting down as a throne materialized below him. “But that is not enough to defeat me.”Cain said leaning back to the throne.
“That you did just now was light magic.The legendary light magic.How did you……? More than that who are you?The light magic is supposed to be extinct.”Oveus said with a shock.He was seeing something he thought was impossible.
“Don’t you think it is way too dark now.This is a little bit against the rules but that doesn’t apply to me after all.” Cain said as he lifted his hands up.Suddenly it was like a noon and sun was right over his head. “I don’t know why this guy had to make these one hell of a drag thing called physics.Well he can just create things he can imagine after all.But it is sad that I had to do that to him.”Cain said letting out a sigh.
“What are you talking?Concentrate here.And illusions like this won’t work on me.”Oveus said to Cain.His entire face was filled with sweat.
“Come on now.Chill out dude.You know this ain’t an illusion.”Cain said standing up and wrapping his hands around Oveus’ shoulders which dispelled his magic.
“What are you trying to do?”Oveus asked.
“I am not trying.I am done a long time ago.”Cain said backing off.Oveus looked towards Cain and tried to turn towards him but he couldn’t move his body.He looked below.His entire body was of ice.But he was still alive. “That is how you chill out.”Cain said as he continued walking towards the army.
“Nooo…..”Oveus screamed towards the sky as his head froze to ice.The army was flustered by now.They were trying to run away.
“Well again this.Things I could do is infinite but now I am in the mood to slowly slaughter you to death.And when I say slow I mean slow enough to at least give light time to complete a meter when I have completed a 100 universes.”At next second Cain was just standing their and on front of him was completely dismantled pile of dead bodies of thousands of dead men. “I think I slaughtered the most important one just like that again.Man I have to change that.”Cain said looking above at the sky.And he just disappeared.
Cain waked up on his room and looked straight at the door of the room.”Paradox……..again.” Cain said as he fell down on the bed.He raised his hands and clicked the fingers again as the entire light of that room was sucked through the door and it closed making it pitch black on his room.”Not that I didn’t knew about that.”Cain said as the blue flames covered his entire body and he disappeared from there.
