Chapter 24: Everybody goes to Hell

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

If you're going through hell, keep going.

—Winston Churchill

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

“Man why the fuck did you has to kill her!?”

“We don’t fuck corpses!”

“Neither do I but the bitch kicked my balls,”

“Seriously I wanted her maiden’s blood all over my cock!”

The voices were in the next room. Edin stood up and walked in.

“Oh you want a bloody cock, Let me oblige you,”

He was empty and inside he just wanted to stop, cry and give up. He just let the other him have his fun. The berserker in him went furious.

Using wind magic he pushed the four men against the walls and took out his long sword. Inside he was numb he wasn’t controlling his own actions but he didn’t care. Taking the sword he cut their pickles and oranges in one swift motion.

In the end he left the room with four crying men, no they were no longer men nor women, Just men with their own genitals in their mouths.

He picked her up and took her to the garden. Laying her on the grass he did not move could not move. An internal struggle within his own soul

‘I just want to lie down,’

‘Let me go on a rampage’

“Edin!”

His internal discussion was interrupted by his brother. Herbert didn’t say another word and simply opened up a hole in the garden. Together they buried her. When they were done Herbert simply pulled his brother along. Edin had given up but he just kept walking for now.

They made their way to the throne room; Theodore had gone off ahead of them. He didn’t let Herbert handle any of the enemies. He cleaved through several of the Castle guards with his long sword. Granted they were indoors so it was easier for Edin to fight with the Guards. One after the other the guards were nothing more than obstacles to him.

The only reason the castle guard were able to subjugate the castle knights was because of their numbers and element of surprise. Once a knight brought to the ground and on his back with several men surrounding him he was as good as dead.

Still He kept moving parrying and striking each opponent taking no more than five moves to eliminate. It helped when he unconsciously fused mana into his muscles when striking into the flesh of his enemies. The new castle guard might’ve looked tough but they were no different than the thugs found in the seedier parts of the city. He seemed to go crazier with every new man that he killed.

A group of Guards came towards him but he casted a large fireball that burned to death most of the guards. those still alive were cut down.

This was nothing, he needed more. Suddenly he was drenched in cold water and snapped out of his frenzy.

“Edin you awake?” asked his brother concerned

“ye yeah,” he responded in an apathetic tone

“Anyways I was following you to the throne room but it’s been a couple minutes so,”

“Sorry the throne room is this way,”

Retracing a part of their steps they continued towards the throne rooms hearing the sounds of fighting.

Five knights were standing in front of a large knight in black armor; behind the five knights was the king alongside with Myles and Theodore

The floor of the throne room was littered with the bodies of knights and castle guards. Many had been killed by Theo’s laser like arrows of mana.

Theodore fired an arrow at the black knight towering over everybody. Still the arrow dissipated after hitting the Black knight’s armor.

The Black Knight swung his War hammer with only his right arm killing the closest knight instantly with a blow to his head and with his returning swing he impaled the pick part of his armor into the neck of another knight. Another Knight using his estoc—a weapon made for thrusting to find weak points in armor— impaled it into the black knight’s thigh. Still the Black knight took as no more than a mosquithor’s bite and continued to lay waste to the three remaining knight’s remaining knights.

Herbert a fireball and sent it towards the back knight but it was blocked by a shield of water.

Water magic!

Everyone turned to find the mages that had casted both magic spells.

Everybody ignored Herbert as he seemed to be together with Edin. The king immediately turned towards Daniel who had entered the throne room.

“Daniel what the hell!?”

Daniel smiled

“It took a while you know,”

The king did not respond and waited for Daniel to continue

“You’re a fool for thinking me your ally, I could have easily killed you but I’m smarter than that,”

“You bastard,” muttered the king

“You took Diane from me but I waited for the perfect opportunity to kill you without repercussions. You have no idea how hard acting senile is but seeing your face now was all worth it. It helped when you angered several noble houses attempting to free the slaves in the kingdom,”

“I’ll kill you!” screamed the king

“Ha I believe that chap will kill you first, as for you young mage I recommend not interfering with me,” Said Daniel pointing towards the Black Knight

“Ehehehehehe Old man I’m a sorcerer, I think I’m more than capable enough to handle an old wizard,”

“Little bro here catch,” Herbert tossed a ring towards Edin” wear it later,”

Edin put the ring in his pocket

Daniel smiled

“Yes I too am a sorcerer!” He said out loud while sending a giant boulder towards him

Edin was pushed away from the flying boulder’s trajectory by a large gust of wind.

The boulder made a giant hole in the wall leading into the spacious courtyard.

What? He can do Voiceless incantations like Herbert!

Herbert moved outside quickly

“Try to keep up old man!”

Daniel chased after Herbert going outside.

Edin stood up looking towards the gaping hole.

Amazing they’re so overpowered

“Gah!”

The sounds of steel and a scream brought his attention back towards the Black knight.

The last remaining knight had been impacted by the hammer crushing his ribs and internal organs.

Myles stood in front of the weaponless king with his great sword

What? Where’s judgment!?

Myles was not holding his prized sword but was using another great-sword. The great-sword was of amazing quality crafted by a master blacksmith but it paled in comparison to the Axaprium made great-sword.

Edin got into his stance and started approaching the black knight step by step and making eye contact with Myles.

Myles lunged forward bringing his sword up over his head and swinging it down in a diagonal slash.

The black knight blocked it and swung his other arm at Myles but missed. Edin growing near blocked a swing from the hammer but it shattered his Long sword.

The Black knight picked him up by the neck and began chocking him. This entire time everything had been no more than a game but death was here looking at his face.

His life in the hands of this Reaper he was terrified but that emotion of fear was subsided by an even larger feeling.

The feeling of wanting to kick this man’s ass had come over him.

It was his rage he was controlling this time.

The knight had brought Edin’s face near him to watch his anguished face.Edin put his thumb into the Black knight's eye slit and poured fire out of his thumb.

“gaaaaah!” screamed the knight as he dropped Edin

Coughing Edin stumbled away. With his sword shattered he picked up two long sword from the

dead knights giving one over to the king.

“Edin go find my wife and daughter,then take them to safety”

“I ,”

“That’s an order I’ll help Myles with this one,”

“Yes your majesty,” He said turning away and running towards the princess’s room.

ran until reaching the princess’s room and opened the door.

“Princess!”

“Princess are you here it’s me Edin!”

Shit not here!

He ran into their majesties room stepping over corpses belonging to both Knights and castle guards.

Their Majesties bedroom was actually two floors with a study and family room at the bottom and the actual bedroom and bathroom upstairs.

Entering the room he found the queen lying down at the bottom of the stairs with a bruised eye. He shook her awake.

“Your majesty, Are you alright?”

Mumbling the queen woke up

“Mu mumu my daughter upstairs!”

Running up the stairs and leaving the queen behind he readied his sword.Ecounteriing the Castle steward Samantheo trying to open the door leading to the main bedroom.

“Princess please come out I just want to keep you young forever,”

Tip toeing to surprise Samantheo he raised his sword up over his head slowly.He swung but in that instant Samantheo drew his sword and blocked the swing

Ka-chink

“Bastard,” he growled

“Oh boy it’s you,” responded Sam

I can take him

He had heard that Samantheo had been a great knight until a certain jousting tournament ended with his left leg crushed by his own horse. The king took pity on the great noble knight and named him the castle steward.

I just have to attack his weak left side

He swung his sword several times but could not fatally wound Samantheo.

He clicked his tongue

Damn he still has experience as a knight

Samantheo smiled

“You know after were done here the both of you will be part of my collection. Oh I’ll flay you and stuff your skins and put you on a display for young love, I’ll name it the princess and the prince,”

This asshole

Sam was standing near the door when it was slightly opened and the princes peaked. Sam noticing this, dashed towards the door ,Edin poured strength into his arms and threw his long sword like a javelin. He ran with mana being poured into his legs and a few seconds after the sword had impaled and slowed Sam He grabbed Sam’s head and bashed it against the wall; Instantly crushing his head thanks to pouring mana into his muscles.

Sighing Edin sat down on the floor.

“Princess, are you ok?”

“Yes.”

He was nearly drained of all his mana. He had casted a fireball that took over half his mana. Burning the Black knight’s face had taken another quarter of mana. Using body strengthening magic had also taken its toll.

It would take him a good night’s rest to recover.

While Recovering the Queen came upstairs and hugged her daughter.

He stood up

“Your majesty, we should go,”

“Oh before we go grab the things in that chest,” She said as she pointed towards quince chest

The quince chest was a tradition for people who reached the age of fifteen. Inside the chest would be several presents for the new adult. This chest had his own initials even though his fifteen birthday was months away. He opened the chest and examined its contents.

Two beautiful Long swords with engravings on the pommel—The swords were made of quality but the true surprise was that both these swords were sharper than anything he had ever seen.No he had seen sharpness like this once from the great sword judgment which was made of pure Axaprium.

“We melted down Judgment and there was enough metal for two long swords,”

He turned his head and asked

“For me?”

“Of course,”

He was astounded but the queen told him that weren't the only things in the chest. Inside was a wooden made short bow together with a quiver with fifteen steel tipped arrows.

This must be from Theo

He put the bow and quiver aside and continued looking at the goodies.

A brown cowl finely tailored.

This was made by Cass

He quickly put it aside.

Other than that there wasn't anything special, just some books and gold, so he began putting on his new equipment.

With dual swords at his side—a bow and quiver—and his cloak he was all set.

“Are you ready?’ asked the Queen

“Yes your majesty,”

“Then follow me,”

Raising an eyebrow in curiosity he followed the queen who simply told him to follow her as she grabbed the princess’s hand.

The queen walked downstairs when the door was opened suddenly by Theodore.

“Are you all alright!?”

Edin relaxed his grip on his swords and responded

“Yeah were fine, what about on your end,”

“The king commanded me to help you what with my arrows being useless.”

“Then let’s go,”

On their way to the castle gate they encountered a few guards who were dispatched by Theodore’s mana arrows. They encountered the Fight between Herbert and Daniel. Theodore was at the head and Edin was behind the Queen and princess. While they snuck around the fight he was frozen watching his brother fight.

Daniel using his staff as a medium threw several small water projectiles towards Herbert. His brother however reacted by using a shield of fire. The water attack had been a faint for as soon as the water was negated Earth spikes sprung from beneath Herbert. Using a large gust of wind Herbert threw himself into the air and noticing his brother began to get away from the area.

Daniel seeing Herbert heading away laughed

“Like that’s going to stop me!” He screamed as he pushed himself into the air with jets of water under him.

What’s with these over powered fights?

With the thoughts of what he had just witnessed he caught up with the group. They left the castle but instead of following the road to Moatiupolis they started heading into the woods behind the castle.

He tried asking where they were going but Theo had said it was the right way. Still they were being pursued by several of the guards.

“Your majesty can you find your way from here?’ Theodore asked the queen

“Yes,”

“Then I will stay here and handle your pursuers, Edin you will go with them,”

“But,”

Theodore interrupted him “and hand me your bow,”

Seeing that Theodore was not going to take a no for an answer he begrudgingly gave his wooden short bow and quiver filled with fifteen arrows.

Theodore handed Edin Moonlight piercer to him.

“Here then this is yours now,”

Before Edin could ask why Theodore had removed his Royal chain—The symbol of a royal guard—and put it into Edin’s hand and holding Edin’s hands

“My son Arryn He’s always wanted to be a royal guard, If you deem him fit to join the Order then give him this chain,”

Edin looked at Theodore

“Good luck,” Said Theodore then he ran off before Edin could say a word.

The queen began moving together with her daughter with Edin following silently behind them.

They arrived at a small cave and Edin used his fire magic to light the way until reaching the end of the small cave. He watched in wonder as the queen fumbled with the cave wall when suddenly

Creeeeeak

The Cave wall started turning and revealed a dark passage.

“This is,”

“The entrance to the tunnels the first King used to get into this valley,”

So that’s how they got into the valley

There was no time to stand in admiration he grabbed the unlit torch from the tunnel and lit it up with a bit of magic.

“Then let’s go your majesty,”

The trip through the dark tunnels wasn't anything special, a bit terrifying but they eventually got out into an unknown piece of land. They kept walking until they reached a town south of the castle beyond the mountains.

The Town of Calcherth was large enough to be considered a small city. He made the two ladies cover themselves with his cloak. It didn't take much more than a few questions to find the most luxurious Inn. A night cost a gold coin per person but it was as lavish as a nobleman’s room. He took two rooms one for him the other for the queen and princess.

“Goodnight then I’ll be in the other room if you need me,”

Thank you said the Queen as she closed the door. He went to his own room and sat on his bed. Thinking of everything that had happened he didn’t want to think so—donning his cloak—he made his way to a tavern as the Inn only served wine. He entered the tavern and although people looked at him like most patrons he was ignored. He sat on a bar stool an order a cup of Ale.

He did not like the taste of ale then again he didn't like remembering. Drinking several cups the tavern began to close but he wasn't done. He wanted more so he made his way to find another place still open in the night that served drinks.

Stumbling his way into the town’s Red light district, noticing the brothels were still open, He made his way to the fanciest looking brothel and with the cash on hand he drank several cups of wine accompanied by pretty girls.

He fancied a girl with a nice behind. Taking the brown haired color girl to one of the rooms he began kissing her drunkenly. He tore her clothes away roughly and took her how a dog takes a bitch.

The next morning with over half of his valuables wasted he left the brothel. He enjoyed the sex. Then again what man wouldn't? Still it wasn't the same. He didn't just have sex with Cass, no he had made love to her.

I should get to the Inn before they wake up.

He started walking.
