Emperor of Steel Chapter 329

Chapter 329: 329
In the basement of the Baroque Imperial palace .
In that personal place of the Emperor, there was the Emperor along with a few men in black robes .
Those who were in black robes were the warlocks who had been secretly funded by the Imperial family .
Meishin and his men were drawing a circle at the bottom of the ground .
Surprisingly, it was the summoning magic circle to call for a demon .
The Emperor, who could no longer put his hope in the priest or the doctor, decided to save the princes and the princesses with the help of the demon .
If it went out to the world, it would turn into a huge catastrophe, but the Emperor didn’t have time for all that .
That was how serious his children’s health was changing .
“Your Majesty, the summoning magic circle is complete . Now we have to make a sacrifice to proceed with the ritual . ”
“Oh then . Then make that sacrifice . ”
When the approval fell from the Emperor, the warlocks dragged out the mountains of offerings that they had prepared in advance .
Sensing that it was a strange atmosphere, the court ladies who had been dragged as the sacrifices struggled to get out .
However, they were tied with ropes and the couldn’t overpower the warlocks who were using magic .
“Kuak! Please, please spare me, Your Majesty!”
“I will do anything you say . So please…!”
Emperor Rudolf didn’t even pretend to listen .
He was a man who could go to any extent when it comes to saving his children .
However, when he saw the two women at the end of the summoning circle .
He couldn’t help but frown at it .
They were the 3rd and 4th queens, whom he loved very much .
Unlike the rest of the maids who were dragged, the queens went into the summoning circle with their own two feet, and that made the Emperor feel very bad .

“Your Majesty, do not put such an expression . ”
“This is a great opportunity given to us to prove our motherhood . ”
A few hours ago, the two queens watched Rudolf grab the court ladies from the palace .
Because of the children, the Emperor had been behaving rather cruel in the past few days .
Rudolf had said to the queens .
“Do not interfere . This is the only way for us to save our children . ”
What could be the way that he could save his children?
Even when the Empress asked, Rudolf had said nothing .
However, the queens continued to ask him, and in the end, the Emperor couldn’t help but let them know .
At the truth from Rudolf, the queens couldn’t help but feel shocked .
And the fact that the Emperor was secretly training warlocks, summoning demons and was going to offer sacrifices!
“This is the only way out! Who else can help me? The Holy Pope who can do miracles? Voltas had said that the rumors had gone to the Holy Empire about our kids . They think that the kids are sick because of the wrongdoings!”
Even the queens who were opposed to the plan Rudolf had, had no say in anything .
However, after a short while, they asked for them to be used as sacrifices . The fact that they had to look at their children being so sick, was very painful .
Rudolf who was shocked by their request felt overwhelmed, but he couldn’t defeat their stubbornness to help their kids .
And such things led to the current situation .
“Can’t you at least rethink about this?”
At the question from the Emperor, both queens shook their heads .
They were doing it for their kids, and the two queens weren’t as relentless as Rudolf .
No, many people in the Imperial palace had warm and kind hearts .

Feeling guilty for the court ladies who would be used as the sacrifices for the well being of their own kids, the queens decided to take matters into their own hands .
“Well, if that is your will, there is nothing I can do . ”
With a heavy sigh, Rudolf pulled on his sword .
With his eyes closed, he approached the queens who were waiting for their final moments and wielded his sword .
Puak! Puak!
Along with an eerie vibration, the Emperor’s sword pierced the 3rd and 4th queen .
Beginning with the queens, the Meishin and the other warlocks began to slaughter the scared women .
“Please, spa… spare me… ah!”
“God look over us! Please show mercy on us…”
“You have all gone mad, Your Majesty! You will burn in hell!”
There were those who begged, those who seek salvation from the god, and those who cursed the Emperor .
Their bodies, each had the same end, all of them were placed in the summoning circle with flowing blood .
Emperor Rudolf, silently watching the devastation in front of him, asked Meishin .
“With this sacrifice, what level of demon would come?”
“The higher level… no, maybe the Devil King might come too . ”
Everything was prepared so well .
Meishin, who said that to Rudolf, memorized the spell .
The floor began to tremble violently and the summoning magic circle began to glow with blood .
Soon after, the bodies which were offered as sacrifices disappeared without a trace, and the summoning magic circle too had disappeared .
Instead, a black space had opened up .
‘The Devil king is good even a demon is good . Anyone who can save my kids should be the ones to come!’
Rudolf stepped back looking at the dark subspace to watch the entire summoning process .

School-life & Swordfights: A Clubs and Stubs Tale
Warning: Clubs and Stubs contains strong language and situations throughout that may not be suitable for younger readers. "This story takes place in a fantasy world with a modernish setting. It mainly follows four students of Hardires High School who are members of one of the greatest Team Arena Squads in the history of gladiatorial school athletics. Already two-time high-school world champions, they have entered their fourth and final year of high school in hopes of capturing a third straight world championship—something that no other school on the continent has accomplished. As they prepare for an upcoming match with a rival school, it becomes evident that keeping their two-and-a-half-year winning streak alive will be tougher than expected. As both personal and external problems abound for the student-gladiators, can they manage to keep it together under the constant pressure of being the perfect fighting unit? A blend of action, drama, adventure, and humor collide in this brand-new series!" Thanks so much for checking out my story! This is the first time that I've released any of my work to a public space so any feedback, be it positive or negative (but please be respectful if so) would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that this story is only the beginning of a long-running series of short stories set in the Clubs and Stubs universe. Temporary Book Cover Design by David Watson The release schedule is rather tentative, but the goal is to release a chapter every 2-4 days. I want to make sure that every scene is the best it can be before it’s released, so it may take a bit longer especially if it's a longer chapter. However, no chapter should take more than a week to be released. Each scene varies in length, but are usually between 1,000 to 2,000 words.

Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.
