Chapter 44 The Lagoon Empire
Alastair's whole body shivered, hearing his words he felt like his whole world went blank.
A smile crept onto Arius's face, looking down at the warmonger king who had killed hundreds of thousands of innocent lives under his command in a state of fear.
Arius raised his left hand causing blue light to shine like a beacon toward the sky and head in multiple directions like a streak of parallel lines.
In multiple kingdoms, Empires, and Dynasties, a blue screen appeared above their lands.
Millions of people looked upward toward the strange occurrence stopping their everyday activity and instead stared in shock.
What everyone saw was a young boy dressed in a black robe sitting on a skull throne that hovered in the air, looking down at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers that had pure despair on their faces.
. .
The Lagoon Empire.
In the waters of the water grove town, thousands of mermaids and mermen stared in disbelief at the scene playing above them.
"Mommy what's happening?!" A small mermaid girl looked at her mother in confusion.
A tall slender mermaid woman who had a green fishtail and melons on her chest that could draw any man's gaze shook her head slightly from left to right like she was in denial. "We must tell your father..." She mumbled.
The mermaid woman grabbed her daughter by her small hand and started swimming as fast as she could in a forward direction.
Pulling her daughter along they swam through thousands of fellow mermaids and merman who sat on the ocean floor on rocks and shells.
Being pulled all of a sudden the small mermaid girl was in utter shock for the first time her mother who was always calm and elegant was in a state of fear?
They both swam past shops, houses and sea creatures before rushing towards a front gate that was rusted silver.
Ten mermen who were wearing golden armor and had tridents in their right hands stood before the gate guarding it with their lives.
A merman who was standing straight up looking forward noticed a woman coming in his direction at a rapid speed.
Without wasting time he warned his fellow colleagues. "An unknown woman is approaching at a rapid speed holding an unknown object !" He yelled, grabbing his trident and pointing it forward.
Hearing their colleague's words they all pulled out their tridents and pointed them forward without asking any questions.
Arriving in front of the rusted gate the mermaid woman was greeted with ten golden tridents pointed at her.
"Identify yourself before the royal guard!" A merman ordered.
"..." The mermaid woman felt like slapping the guard.
The other royal guards when they saw the woman all besides the one man who asked the question were all sweating as if they could sweat in the sea.
Bang!
One of the royal guards bashed the man on the head. "You idiot this is the queen!" He barked.
"...Huh?" The royal guard held his head in pain.
"I'm sorry your majesty please enter..." The royal guard bowed.
"Thank you." The queen nodded her head in acknowledgment.
The rusted gate began to slowly open which revealed a beautiful white castle that was covered in white shells and stone walls that had seaweed going down the sides.
The castle had a magical barrier surrounding it causing the whole area surrounding it to turn a rainbow color.
Without wasting any time the queen who still held her daughter by the hand rushed through the silver giant doors.
Swimming through the halls mermaids who were dressed in maid outfits all bowed their heads seeing their queen swim through.
"Why is the queen in such a rush?" A mermaid asked, looking to her right.
"Are you dumb didn't you see the giant blue screen above the water!?" The mermaid answered, looking out the glass window toward the sky in shock.
Following her vision, the mermaid who asked the question felt her mouth open wide in shock seeing a young boy sitting on a skull throne looking down at one of the most powerful militaries in the world.
The queen who was still swimming through the halls finally arrived in front of a red door which was guarded by two men and without speaking they both opened the door for her.
Rushing through the door the queen laid eyes on a man who was ten times her size and had a giant trident lying to his left while he laid sheepishly on a throne made out of sharks his golden hair fell to his back and his blue eyes shined brightly his crown that was made out of giant teeth that were the size of an elephant's foot showed his past battles.
"Dear did you see!?" The queen swam forward with a worried expression.
The merman looked down with a small smile and responded with a nod.
Seeing her husband not really caring made the woman angry. "Dear, a young boy has one of the strongest militaries in the world on there knees groveling!" She huffed.
Seeing his wife angry made him sigh. "Honey it does not matter he is on the land, not water." He moved his giant body a little to the left which caused a giant wave to form in the water.
The giant wave smashed into the wall causing the whole castle to shake.
"Papa..." The small mermaid girl who was watching this whole time let go of her mother's hand and swam to her father's eye view.
Seeing a small figure appear in front of his vision he smiled even wider than before. "My baby Angel, what is wrong you can tell papa!" He patted her head with his giant pointer finger.
Feeling her father's touch made the girl smile. "Papa, why is mommy scared of the blue screen?" She asked innocently.
The king had to think for a second before answering. "Well, mommy hates humans, and when a powerful human appears she freaks out..." He looked over at his wife who at this point showed him a glare.
"But papa can just beat him up like he always does to the other humans who try to hurt us!" She hugged his pointer finger.
"Hahaha, my daughter knows not to worry." The king looked at his daughter.
The queen felt veins popping all over her head. "Dear, this is serious... This is nothing like the last time when a powerful human appeared."
"I know but as long as he doesn't enter the waters with hostile intent then we will not make him an enemy." The king made his words clear by sending his wife a serious gaze.
"..." Staring into her husband's eyes she sighed and shook her head. "Fine if you think it's gonna be fine then so be it."
"Exactly no matter what it will be fin-"
All of a sudden a loud voice echoed throughout the whole world including the waters which interrupted the king's words.
"Greetings world my name is Arius Fay a small baron who will demonstrate why you shouldn't fuck with me!"
A small rumble began to shake the world.
The Lagoon royal family all looked upward toward the blue screen.
"Impossible..." The king mumbled tightly holding his trident.
"Papa..." The princess felt her innocent heart freeze.
"We must announce an international meeting." The queen spoke so quietly no one could hear her.
The blue screen showed the boy who was covered in a black robe floating down from his skull throne holding a black katana which had red streaks going down the side and a black aura surrounding it.
He stood above the King of the Han dynasty Alastair who was pleading for his life, tears falling down his face begging for forgiveness.
With a small swing downward toward his neck, the whole king's head cleanly was cut like paper falling to the ground and his own blood painted the ground.
What came next though was what shocked the Lagoon royal family...
