Chapter 20 - Attack!!

[Some moments Later.]

BAM!

The door burst opened, as Nioh rushed inside... The two watched him as he rushed to a sofa and hid behind it.

"....?!"

"Where is he!! That bounty will be ours!!"

Five huge men with battleaxe rushed Inside the building, only to freeze seeing the two people sitting inside.

"Huh??" One muttered in confusion.

"Who are you guys?!" Another asked.

"No! The main question is! Where is that guy that just rushed inside here?!" The biggest, who seems to be the leader yelled.

"Who the fuck are you guys!" Morgana cussed for the first time.

"You! Do you think we are scared of you?!! If you don't tell us where he is hiding! We will destroy this while building still we locate him!!" The man yelled.

"Destroy my house?" Morgana's expression turned cold:

"Not even the leaders of the nations can say that to my face! Who the hell are you fools to spat such nonsense?!"

She slowly stood up:

"The one you are looking for is hiding behind the sofa... It's too bad none of you will be alive to touch him." Morgana said, as the door shut itself.

The five men turned to the door in confusion, then turned back to the woman before them.

"You!! I am a grandmaster! While the four behind me are all masters! Do you three think you can win!!" He yelled.

Morgana snapped her fingers, and before everyone's eyes, the man's soul left his body and appeared on the palm and opened next.

"....?!!"

THUD!

The sound of his body hitting the ground rung out, stunning everyone.

"Monster!!"

The other four exclaimed in horror.

Morgana crushed the soul on her palm Into a small soul orb, and before everyone, she swallowed it.

".....?!!!"

Everyone was flabbergasted, even Nioh hiding behind the sofa stood up, staring at her with a frown.

"You!! Who are you?!!"

One asked moving back in fear.

"Who am I?" Morgana smirked, as her long hair shot forward, and in less than ten seconds, the five men were caught on a tight grip, completely immobilized.

"Let us go!!" They yelled in mild horror.

Morgana turned to Sunny and Nioh:

"I think it would be bad if my customers see what will happen next, so can both of you be on your way?"

"Ok, Morgana... We will leave you to your fun." Sunny said, stood up, and walked away.

"Mor... MORGANA??!!!!!!"

The four men were terrified!

Morgana was a legendary figure in both the underground world and around the nations, a being even the leaders won't dare messed with! Even the Wendigos are terrified of her! And they just broke into her home and even threatened her?!!

Sunny and Nioh walked out of the house, as the men started pleading... Nioh turned around and looked as Morgana walked towards the men, and licked the face of one.

"Hmm... Tasty."

She looked over his shoulder, and her eyes met his.

Nioh quickly looked away and quickly followed behind Sunny, as the door closed shut.

"My... My king, can she be trusty?" Nioh stammered.

"Morgana?" Sunny asked, while Nioh nodded.

"No... But she also can't be untrusted."

".....?!"

Nioh was confused by his words, so he asked another question:

"What is she going to do with those men?"

Sunny looked at him over his shoulder:

"It is better you don't know that." He said, and continued walking.

The two walked back to their spaceships, got on them and flew out from the planet.

[Night time.]

"My queen... Why do you give them time to think about it?" Blood eye asked in confusion.

The group were in a makeshift tent, in the small settlement they created some miles from the city.

"Yes... There are children, and innocent people in that city, if we attack now, they could lose their lives."

"No!" Nicolas yelled, clearly disagreed.

"I don't accept that! Do you think those guys will leave our people alive if this happens?!! They will take them as slaves, who they could sell and make money!! I say we attack!!" He said.

"Yes my queen! I know you are kindhearted, but we know these guys! They aren't to be trusted! Even if we buy them off, they will betray us the moment they get an opportunity!" Blood eyes added.

"So you guys won betray us?" Josephine asked back, staring at the two, she wasn't in her armor, but in a green grass.

The two looked at one another, then turned to her and nodded with a resolute expression:

"Yes!"

"We will never betray you and the king!"

Josephine stared at them for some seconds, lost in thought. She wants to complete this mission and also have control of the people without bloodshed, because if a war breaks out, the innocent people will surely suffer, that was what she is trying to avoid.

With a sigh, she nodded:

"Ok then, tomorrow... We will know their decision, if they refuse, we will attack, no matter what happens, we must tak--"

BAM!!!!

Josephine froze, as a blade burst out from her chest, bursting her heart in the process.

"....?!!!"

Blood eye and Nicolas were horrified as a figure slowly appeared behind Josephine.

"Without your armor, you are useless!" The lady said with a sneer.

Nicola: "No!!"

Blood eye: "Illusion!!"

The two spat out in rage.

Illusion smirked, and drew her sword from Josephine, and pushed her to the ground.

"You guys are fools! Your base is already surrounded." Illusion said, and added:

"You want to bribe us with money? Once we kill you three, all your people will become slaves, who we can sell away... This whole planet will also be ours, then, we can make more money than ever!" She said.

"I will kill you!!"

Before the two could act, she disappeared again.

"This!!"

The two rushed to Josephine:

"My Queen! Don't die! Don't!" The two yelled, staring as Josephine's eyes dimmed.

"Master!"

The door opened, and a man rushed inside, only to freeze, seeing the scene inside.

"What happened?!" Nicolas asked with killing intent.

"They... They are attacking!!" The man yelled.

"Bastards!!" Nicolas stood up in fury, and summoned his armor, which appeared on his body.

"Take care of the queen! Make sure she is alive! I will deal with these monsters!" He spat out, rushing outside, the guard following behind.

Blood eye was confused, what the fuck can she do! The sword went through Josephine's heart! There's no way she can help.

She watched as Josephine closed her eyes, and breathed her last.

"No!"

WHOOSH!

"Huh?"

Blood eye watched as the ring on Josephine's finger glowed, and before her, the Queen ascended, and hovered on the air... Before she knew it, a cocoon made of light appeared, enveloping Josephine.

"What is happening?" She asked in mild confusion.

[In the spaceship.]

BAM!!

Sunny spurted out a mouthful of blood, which splash on the steering wheel.

He clenched his chest with a painful expression on his face:

"Why does it felt like a blade went through my heart?!" he muttered in shock, his spaceship following behind Nioh's.

{Warning!!}

{Mate's health is rapidly decreasing.}

{90%...60%.... 40%.... 20%... 10%.}

{Mate is dead.}

Sunny froze, his mind racing.

{Mate have entered a dormant state.}

{Mate requires Master's blood in less than 30 minutes, or Mate will die for good.}

Hearing this, Sunny didn't waste even a second, and pushed the accelerator, the spaceship came to live like an enraged lion, and shot forward, passing Nioh's spaceship in flash.

"What the fuck?!!"

Nioh cussed, and quickly followed behind him.

"What is happening?! Why is he suddenly in a rush?!" He asked himself.

[Back to the settlement.]

Nicolas stood before the enemy troops, his soldiers stood behind him.

'Shit! Who would have thought they damaged our battle spaceships and vehicles! We won't be able to use them in a while!' He thought Inwardly, and yelled aloud:

"You monsters!! The queen gave you time and all you can do is stab her in the back! That is unforgivable!" He yelled.

"What can you do?!" Illusion appeared before her troops, and besides the black skin man, one of the lords.

"You have been mentioning this king for so long, and we haven't even seen him! Do you think we are fools!!" She yelled.

"Yes! And that your queen is the Beastify race's Queen... If she is that wealthy, will her race and kingdom be almost destroyed by the Wendigos?!" The black skin man asked.

"You!! The King helped her! And he plans to help you too! But your action today! I don't know if your city will see the next day!" Nicolas said coldly.

"Are you threatening us?!! Open your eyes and see! We have round up everyone in our city! Every man who could wield a weapon! Now we have a total of 5,000 troops! And this is half our number!" Illusion spat out, her long black hair moving In wind.

"You think a mere 5,000 soldiers can stop us?! You are dreaming!! Once I take out your eyes! You will see the reality!" Nicolas spat out, and pointed his sword at the 2,500 soldiers before them:

"Attack!!" He yelled.
