They made it to the Throne room, finishing off the last of the guards before opening the big double door entrance.

The duo entered first, each pushing a door open as they made their way in. Their eyes were immediately assaulted by the bright white as the rising sun pierced through the window hitting the marble white floor.

Theoric eyes adjusting could see that the whole room was made white except the purple drapes and throne.

There were advisors shivering in fear, who were trying to hide in the corner behind Ulik and the throne room guards who glared at the intruders

Theoric scowled back at Ulik as he mentally prepared himself for the tough fight ahead.

Ulik eyes went wide for a second when he spotted Theoric, remembering the Asgardian he was supposed to have already killed.

Ulik- "So little gardian is alive, I'll be sure to fix that." looking over to Ulla he brought out the machine box and handed it to her,- "Take and keep safe, while I squash bugs."

Muthos and Askella eyes brightened as their eyes stuck to the box, they had to get it no matter what.

Muthos wasted no time ordering Tyborr and U-Slyn,- "Kill them quickly and help me get that box, the troll race depends on it." he said not caring if Theoric heard him or not as they planned to kill him should he survive.

Theoric glanced at the box, but he had no impression of it as he looked back towards Ulik who was meandering over while playing with his hammer which made Theoric frown as he noticed its unusually similar look to Mjolnir.

Taking out his sword he made his way to Ulik who was being surprisingly cautious.

Ulik didn't want to make any big moves hastily, remembering how the fight went last time with Theoric getting a lucky hit in that came close to killing him. He was not going to make the same mistake twice and underestimate this Asgardian.

When Theoric was in spitting distance he moved quicker than Ulik thought possible as he attacked the side, Ulik just managing to block with his hammer, skidding back from the impact force.

Ulik eyes went wide in shock as he felt the power behind the strike, not recalling him being this strong last time. The more he thought of it the angrier he got, thinking how Olik died to someone. His brother who was strong enough to survive clashes with anyone except those as strong as himself like Thor, and now apparently another.

Ulik thinking how Theoric is the only one in the city that could have done it as his face grew more and more ugly.

Ulik snarled- "IT WAS YOU! You Killed Olik."

Theoric couldn't help but grin at seeing his hated foe so angry which infuriated Ulik who got his answer.

Ulik shouted- "I'll Kill You!" he said throwing the hammer with all his might.

Theoric snorted in contempt as he easily dodged it while running forward to a now weaponless Ulik, who no longer sported his knuckle pounders now that he had the hammer.

Theoric in range was about to swing his sword to cut off the extended arm of Ulik who still had it out for some reason but stopped when he had a bad premonition seeing Ulik grin, he quickly jumped to the side dodging the returning hammer.

Theoric sweating at his near-miss cursed his luck, this bastard was tough enough already, now he has a replica of Thor's hammer.

------------------

While Theoric and Ulik clashed, Tyborr and U-Slyn faced off against the other royal guards that were present, all wearing the same blue armor with saber weapons.

"You Traitors! How dare you work with the enemy and fight against your fellow trolls." their former leader said.

"Traitors!" the rest shouted in anger.

Tyborr and U-Slyn just turned a deaf ear to them knowing it was coming as they approached them with sabers drawn.

"Fine, if you wish to die as traitors then so be it, Kill The Traitors!" the leader ordered.

"Kill The Traitors!" the rest howled as they attacked.

Tyborr and U-Slyn though were among the better fighters of the group even before they left, but going against the other 10 at the same time was not going to be easy.

Askella saw their predicament though as she kept an eye out for Grundor, seeing that he wasn't around for some reason despite the treasure being here had her concerned.

Askella- "Muthos, I'll help the duo, you go get that box from that wench."

Muthos grinned- "It'll be my pleasure." he said trusting his wife as he made his way around without resistance as he was ignored.

Askella made sure to keep their attention when she finally started to utilize her magic, no longer willing to hold back now that her objective was so close. She first sent a buff to the royal duo which made them feel refreshed and stronger before sending magic strikes at the ones who tried to circle around and attack them from behind.

Magic bolts shot from her hands as it hit a couple of enemies blasting them away with armor broken. Still trying to preserve enough magic for the fight to come with Grundor, she knew he would show up sooner or later.

"She's A Witch, Kill The Witch!" the leader yelled.

Tyborr and U-Slyn, however, made sure no more could easily get by them, attacking in a flurry with their newfound feeling of strength and stamina.

"We can't get to her sir, these traitours bastards are proving to be as strong as elites."

"It's the witch's doing, keep fighting, I don't believe they can keep it up for long." the leader said.

Askella smirked when she heard that, he wasn't exactly wrong, she was no healer. All she did was numb the royal duo so they couldn't feel anything, allowing them to fight harder and longer than they could otherwise.

--------------------

Muthos snuck his way around to Ulla who had yet to leave. When she saw the small number of enemies, she felt confident in Ulik and the royal guard's abilities to take care of them, only now regretting as Muthos approached her.

Ulla scoffed- "Muthos, you decrepit old thing, what do you think you are doing?" she asked trying to put up a strong front, even if he was old she still wouldn't fight him, only ever relying on others to fight for her.

Muthos sneered while he approached- "Venomous Whore! I'll kill you and rid the kingdom of your poison." he said raising his cane to smack her across the face, causing her to fall and drop the machine box.

Ulla wasn't prepared for his aggressiveness as she laid on the ground with an arm to prop her up while rubbing her face with the other in shock.- "You hit me! You Actually Hit Me!"

Muthos chuckled- "And now I'll kill you." he said raising his staff to smack her on top of the head.

Ulla scared with eyes wide quickly fumbled for the amulet hidden by her dress, a reward gifted from Grundor, pressing the ruby jewel in the middle that activated a shield to protect her.

The staff clanking off of it, leaving a frustrated Muthos- "Damn Vile Woman! I see you have another trick up your sleeve."

Ulla smirked- "Just wait until Grundor comes, he'll finish you all off."

Muthos frowned, he wanted to stay and work on destroying the shield to kill her but knew it was more important to get the box and leave. Picking it up he made his way back to Askella.
