《A king's reincarnation》[2]Chapter 39: Sooner than one would expect
Advertisement
I stepped out of the gate and the tower's hall appeared before me, I went out and I saw the two waiting for me, since only the two of them and Nathia and Airi are present, it looks like everyone else went back.
"Did you wait long?" I asked Kagami.
"No, anyways, shall we try out this new powers of ours?"
"I'll join you later, I need to take a rest." I rejected his offer as I went back to the castle with Airi and Nathia.
"Now that's unusual." said Tanya
"Yeah, I wonder what happened between him and the sage king."
"Let's ask him about it later, right now, if we want to use this new power in its maximum potential, we need to train, I'll try asking Famah-dono if she can teach us some of the basics." Suggested Tanya as she left for the training grounds.
"Famah? ah, that Magus woman? you're right, she's our best choice."
...
"What's wrong, Nii-sama?"
"Nothing, don't mind me... Airi?"
"What is it?"
"What if I told you that-" Before I could finish my words I heard a scream coming from the North Gate.
"AAAAHHH!! It's the demons!"
"Run!"
"Demons? Haahhh so much for a peaceful country"
"Airi, go back to the castle, inform everyone that there's a Demon attack, Nathia, go back with her."
"Understood."
"Eh? Demon attack? what are you talking abo-"
"RUN! The demons are attacking!"
At this moment, Airi heard the screams of the civilians, she leaned on the fence and used some kind of magic to enchance her vision, and there, she saw the massive demon onslaught outside the North gate.
"I-It's true, we have to inform the knights!" said Airi as she tried to run back.
"No, I'll inform the knights, both of you, go back to the castle and inform the guards to tighten the defenses."
"But Nii-sama, it's dangerous!"
"No need to worry, I'm a fast runner, now go!" I assured her. Airi was still a little hesitant, but in the end, she went back with Nathia protecting her.

As for me, I leaped to the HQ which was on the west as fast as I could and arrived within a second.
When I entered the room, the 6 were having a meeting with the other officials inside.
"Lucas? are you already done with the-"
"There's a demon attack on the North gate!"
"Demon attack!?"
"I'll go take a look!" said Geni as she stood up from her seat, but just then, a knight came inside, out of breath."
"Report! There's a massive demon attack taking place at the North, the soldiers stationed there are currently holding them back while the civilians evacuates, according to captain Maron, the enemies numbers around 3000, and at their helm is the 5 sons of the Demon lord, Daso, they're most probably out for revenge, at this rate, our forces will fall in half an hour! Please send out reinforcements!"
"Those 5!? this is trouble. Make sure that everyone is safe! Don't do anything too rash until we arrive! Lucas, go back to the castle and keep safe! Everyone, set out!" said Lily as the 6 along with the others set out in a hurry.
I also went towards the gate in secret and there, I saw thousands of demons engaged in a battle with our forces outside the gate, out of the thousands of demons, there are 2 on the front who are clearly on a whole another level than the others, in front of those two, I noticed Tanya and Kagami bound by chains glowing in purple.
One of the two demons raised their swords and tried to behead the two of them, when I saw this, I immediately went over at maximum speed, and before the demon could swing the sword down, I already twisted its arm in a disgustingly unusual way since I can't carelessly catch that kind of blade with my bare hands. When the sword fell to the ground I quickly picked it up and broke the chains which are probably immune to physical force.
"Lucas-sama, the other 3! they're going for the castle!!" said Tanya in frustration.
Just then, the communication device in my pocket glowed and I heard Nathia's voice.

"L-Lucas...sama, h-hel....." The communication device got cut off.
I immediately used the inner force and sent it out around me to get an update on the situation inside the castle, and there, I felt the presence of 3 demons who are fighting off the remaining 2 royal knights who are defending Airi and the King and queen since the other 7 have already sustained critical injuries while 4 are already dead. Nathia is currently heavily wounded and is lying down unconscious, I also felt Vincent, Lily and Relieh running quickly to rescue them, but at this rate, they would be too late
I looked around and saw the remaining one from the 5 holding a spear. I quickly grabbed it from her and threw it with a frightening amount of force towards the direction of one of the three inside, the huge door of the castle broke because of the spear and successfully nailed itself at the head of one of the demons, without further delay I also ran to rescue them. When I arrived inside, I instantly went for the remaining two with inhumane speed, I grabbed both of their necks which greatly surprised them and without further ado, I squeezed them hard to the point that it got completely separated from the body. The Airi and the king and queen along with the royal knights were in shock with what they just witnessed and they just stared at me for almost a minute.
"I didn't expect it to come this soon.." I thought to myself
"Mother! Father!" shouted Vincent as the three of them quickly went through the shattered door.
"Thank god all of you are safe!" said Lily as she quickly passed by me to check up on them.
"Wait, where's Lucas?" Lily looked around and spotted me holding the heads of the 2 demons in both of my hands while half of my face is covered red due to the blood, my mind and face as calm as still waters.
At that moment, silence filled the entire throne room, as if the sounds of battle outside are getting blocked. Relieh and Vincent were the first ones to recover from the shock and immediately became wary of me.
I looked around and saw Nathia unconscious, she's still breathing, but if her wounds are not tended to in 10 minutes, she will die. I took a step towards her but the cautious relieh instantly leaped at me, trying to subdue me.
"Relieh, wait!" said Vincent but it was already too late.
Just as he was about to touch me, I made my move and grabbed his arms with speeds that not even relieh could see. And before anyone knew it, they saw him restrained under me. For relieh who specializes in speed and assassination, this came as a huge surprise for him.
"Don't move" I commanded his brain in order to temporarily paralyze him.
"Gabriel, how do I cast healing magic?" I tried to inquire about it from him, in which he immediately responded and explained to me.
While relieh is still paralyzed, I went towards Nathia sat down beside her and casted it. Fortunately, it worked out fine and her heartbeat and breathing stabilized.
"I guess I only have two?"
"Yeah, goodluck on your situation down there" said Gabriel.
I stood up from the floor and looked at everyone in the room. I removed the command from relieh which allowed him to move freely again.
"I-" I tried to talk but the queen cut me off.
"Let's talk somewhere quiet, Lily and vincent, both of you will come too. Relieh, make sure that Nathia is safe."
""yes...""
The six of us went to the room where I first met them. The five of them sat down while I chose to remain standing. Seeing this, the queen sighed and pointed at a seat.
"Sit down." she said to me, in which I followed.
"First of all, thank you for saving us, if it were not for you, we might've been already dead." said the queen.
"I just did what is right."
"I see, now then. Let me ask you a question... Who are you?"
