Chapter 10: Irin’s Plan



Chapter 10: Irin\'s Plan

"I see, so you summoned us in order to-"

"Yes, now go, get ready for what is about to begin, with the strength of this planet, I doubt it will fall, once one of you Transcends, you will be welcomed in the Order, until then, we will have minimal interference with your planet." The tall man cut off the empress and she simply bowed slightly at him before all five were sent back.

"Master, they have potential, I believe that this planet will give us some good fighters." The redheaded man spoke as the tall one nodded in agreement.

"Yes, those five are talented enough to reach Sainthood even, in the future they might become your peers, until then, we need to contact the Order and get things moving, the system will integrate itself with the planet at any moment." The two nod at the tall man before he tears a hole in the void once more and they leave. As for the sea of light that was around them, it slowly started flowing down to the planet.

A change was about to occur.

The five had returned back to where they came from and took action. The Empress immediately gathered all the people in the castle, which was easy since most of the nobles of the vampire race were already present.

The emperor called for a meeting immediately after his return, he reassured his wife that everything was alright and that he would explain everything during the meeting.

The other three did the same.

The dragon king called his brethren to explain what was about to happen.

The lord of the dead sea gathered all the powerful sea creatures and the lord of the elves called for all the tribes to quickly gather.

The five were the most powerful and influential figures in Corleon, their every action was closely monitored by the other powerful organizations and figures in the world.

The spies that were planted all sent back word of what was happening, making the organizations wary as all five had suddenly moved to action.

Back in the Golden Knight Empire, in the city of duke Orsted, a figure suddenly jumped from a window that was located on the second floor.

He quickly used a whip to grab onto a nearby house and propelled himself forward before dashing through the streets. Not long after the figure appeared, another came out of the window as well.

A frail old man came out and floated in the air, observing the surrounding area in order to find Lyle. He looked around before smirking and lifting his hand, a drop of blood appeared above it.

"You almost had it, if you hadn\'t gotten injured, you would have succeeded in leaving this place alive, unfortunately for you, you failed."

[ Forbidden Art: Blood Sensing ]

The blood above the old archmage\'s hand vibrated before it slowly floated down to the back of his hand. The blood suddenly fused with the hand and became a small tattoo of an arrow.

The tattoo wasn\'t stationary, however. The arrow pointed at where the owner of the blood was, and once the spell had been used, the old archmage could locate the person as long as they were not further away than 10 km from him.

Irin smirked as he started flying towards Lyle, only to suddenly stop in his tracks.

\'No, I can\'t do it in the city, I have to make him leave the city first before I deal with him.\'

The archmage suddenly moved left from where Lyle was and rose a bit higher in the air.

\'The brat is dead, those bastards have betrayed us, I have to leave this empire quickly, but first I need to deal with that brat, he knows too much about me and my abilities to be left alive.\' The old mage thought before suddenly casting a spell.

"Close down the gates!" His voice thundered in the city as everybody was able to hear him.

The spell he used was a simple voice-amplifying spell that had been further enhanced by the mage after he reached a high enough understanding of the laws of space.

"THE DUKE HAS BEEN ASSASSINATED, NOBODY IS TO ENTER OR LEAVE THE CITY BEFORE THE ASSASSIN IS FOUND!"

His words shocked the people as the guards that had been posted at the four gates moved.

They knew that for a person to speak with such a voice was thanks to a spell, and nobody in the city, except for the old archmage who was always by the duke\'s side could do such a thing.

If they were wrong, they would simply be reprimanded by their officers, but if they failed to do something that had been ordered by the old archmage, they would be flogged to death.

\'I know that a person of your skills will be able to get out even with me putting the city under lockdown, and you will have no choice since staying in the city after it has been completely closed is the same as signing a death warrant in such a situation.\' The old archmage smirked as he floated down to a roof of a house and waited.

He could sense how far away a person was with his spell and would know when Lyle had left the city, which meant he could now only wait until that happened.

On the streets of the city, people came out of the bars and brothels in a stupor before running back home, those that had been asleep were woken up by Irin\'s shout and scrambled to open the windows and check what was happening.

The sleeping city was awake, and everybody was incredibly tense. The guards would definitely investigate every nook and cranny of the city, which meant that those that had illegal things in their houses were now scrambling to find a way to get rid of them.

For one group in the city streets, however, the situation was different.

A company of soldiers had previously entered the city under the guise of being merchants. They were the ones that were supposed to take control of the castle after the duke\'s death.

"Commander, what should we do?"

"We rush to the castle, I don\'t know why that old bastard would inform everybody about Orsted\'s passing, but we need to act fast." A man with long brown hair said as the soldiers simply nodded at him.

There were over 100 soldiers that were a part of the company and they all quickly went to get their armor and weapons. They had only expected to move after the assassin would give them a sign that the duke was dead, but there was no need to wait for him now.

"What about the mage?" A soldier asked.

"He will be at the castle, or in the city, we don\'t need to look hard to find him, he put the whole city under lockdown, so it will be easy to locate him later, taking control over the castle takes precedence now." The soldiers all nodded and in a mere 5 minutes were all standing in front of the commander in their full gear.

The company moved and rushed to the castle, the people were shocked to see them as they wore the crest of the royal family and not the duke\'s crest. The soldiers under the royal family were unlike any others, they commanded great respect and power and were untouchable by others.

It only took them 5 more minutes before they were in front of the castle gates.

Upon seeing the crest of the royal family, the guards hurriedly bowed and opened the gates while the company quickly moved through the floors.

None of the guards that were present in the castle dared stop them, some were still full of adrenaline over what had transpired and even drew their weapons out, only to throw them on the ground fearfully upon realizing who the soldiers were.

Even the death guards dared not stand in the way of the company, their equipment was great compared to others, but when put against the royal family\'s soldiers, they paled in comparison in both equipment and strength.

A mere 15 minutes was all it took for the company to take control of the castle. The ministers and other higher-ups paled at the sight of the soldiers and simply sat in their rooms, fully knowing what was about to transpire.

As for Lyle, he was right at the wall that surrounded the city.

His blood knight form was still active, although he only had a couple of more minutes before it ended.

His body was injured, and even though he was miles ahead of the guards of the castle, their sheer numbers had made it impossible to escape uninjured.

The wounds were light, however, and he would quickly recover. For now, they didn\'t inhibit any of his movements or his fighting capabilities so there was no need to treat them.

He didn\'t know why Irin had locked the city down, but if the mage really did believe that he was the only way he could stop him, he was dearly mistaken.

Lyle quickly scaled the wall with incredible speed before reaching the top. Even though soldiers patrolled the top of the wall, they were sparse and it was impossible for them to stop him.

He transformed his two blood daggers into a whip that had a spiked end. He stabbed the spiked end into the top of the wall before jumping down and using the whip as a rope. In a mere 5 seconds, he was down on the ground and simply glanced up the 12-meter tall wall before smirking and running towards the forest.

Inside the city, on top of a roof, the mage Irin opened his eyes and flashed a dangerous smile as he stared in the direction Lyle had gone to.

"The forest, perfect."
