Chapter 70 All or Nothing
For a moment, the status that I forgot to close flashed with the same status that I had before coming here, seemingly snapping me out of an intrusive trance.
I widened my eyes and gripped both the bow and violin with all my might, slamming it against the ground and causing it to shatter into thousands of glass pieces.
My eyes shifted to the window just beside me, a small office beginning to form around my servant and me, who took a deeper stance.
"So you wish to still fight… I understand. Then allow me to die fighting for you," The woman smiled, and as my eyes saw the chaos happening just outside of the window, I began to frown.
"Gather all the remaining soldiers… we're going to change the future."
Memories that were not of this world that were not mine flooded into my brain, working their way into every crevice possible, just so I could remember what had happened on this month, on this day, on this hour, on this second.
I took a peak even further outside the window and saw a massive meteor the size of a goddamn kingdom barreling down towards the massive city around me, the capital of the Seraphs of Light… it was destined to die on this day, but here I am.
"What do you mean gather all the soldiers? I do not mean to sound disrespectful, but what will they do against that thing?"
"Defend this palace. They'll come after me as soon as I raise my hands into the air… so I need people to defend me. I place my life in your hands, Elora,"
"As you wish, your highness," The woman replied before disappearing into thin air, her presence completely gone as I wormed my way through the halls of this massive palace.
Its towering quartz pillars, marble floors lined with silky red carpets, and the statues of previous knights that had once defended this kingdom seemingly conjured up the will to live from their stone prisons.
One glance at them with the eye set right in the middle of my forehead awakened them, causing their harsh outer shell to crumble into hundreds upon thousands upon millions of pieces until the beast inside roared with all its might.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
I didn't even have to give them directions as they knew what they were alive for and knew what had to be done in order to fulfill their ultimate goal.
The stench of blood wafted up from the bottom floors as the minions of darkness invaded from below, their deadly presence immediately sending shivers down my spine as I ran as fast as my legs could take me.
Wings were sewn into my back, yet I couldn't feel them, and I knew exactly why… and who had done such a thing.
And then, just like that, I arrived at my destination, the roof of my golden palace, which shimmered with a blood-red glow from below.
[Angel Blissful Wings]
The wings on my back shimmered before shedding their feathers, only to be replaced by solid fluffy feathers of gold, lightly flapping, creating intense gusts of winds that swirled the fires rampaging through my kingdoms.
Each flap was like its own natural disaster, sending shivers of fear down the demonic beings below.
I looked up at the massive meteor above, its size growing past the size of a kingdom and into the size of an entire fucking continent.
"[Aether Imaginative Creation]... Strings of Destiny," I smiled, flicking my fingers up to allow golden threads to fly into the air, straight toward the massive meteor.
SHING
"You're too obvious," I muttered, slowly turning my head towards the familiar elven woman who pressed the blade of a crumbling sword light right towards my throat. "You could have made it less obvious… you're the only one touching my food and drinks."
"You've grown weak, your highness. It's time for a new power to come and bring prosperity to this continent," The woman smiled as my golden threads wrapped around the meteor, slowly pressing into them, causing its entire body to shrink.
"We're all going to die… including you, you dumbass,"
"I'm well aware, but I can't stand you as the leader. I've already been promised to be reborn as a Demon Lord. I will have a wonderful and prosperous life not known as the servant of the Seraph but as a powerful Demon Lord who ruled an entire dukedom."
Her words slowly trailed from her mouth, and as a sadistic smile grew on her face, she took a look at my expression… which was full of pure and utter sadistic joy.
"Then it will be worth it trapping you between life and death," I smiled even wider, the woman immediately shivering upon seeing my insane conviction.
The strings unwrapped from the meteor, causing it to grow back to full size, astonishing the woman who pressed the blade further against my throat.
"W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING! DON'T YOU WANT TO TRY AND SAVE YOUR PEOPLE!?" She shouted, her smile immediately turning upside down.
"My people? Who said these were my people? I don't give a shit about them," I began to laugh sadistically, my voice echoing across the continent like the drums of god. "KAHAHAAHAHAHA! I JUST WANT TO KILL YOU, BITCH!"
My strings whipped down from the meteor high up in the sky, pressing down through the air and then wrapping around myself and the woman behind me.
"S-STOP! YOU INSANE BASTARD! I CAN'T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY LISTENED TO YOU! I'VE ALWAYS HATED YOU! I'VE ALWAYS DESPISED YOU!" The elf shouted, feeling her existence literally begin to cease from life and death itself.
Slowly, my head turned toward the woman, giving her a full smile while my lips cracked open, the black eye in the middle of my forehead cracking open until it bled golden tears.
"I don't give a shit!" I cackled before staring up at the meteor now inches away from my face, its blazing heat practically tearing my skin apart already.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM
