ACT 9 : THE STRONGEST MEET
A single incident inside that dungeon had caused chaos in the outside world.
Although, not more than a handful of people knew about this incident, those were powerful enough to make the whole academy responsible for it.
Major Houses, based in the Capital City were the first ones to know.
Like House Barriston, and House Rowan.
The House Barriston sent an envoy to the academy to discuss this incident with the academy administration, as the Principal was not present at the current moment.
Laurel Barriston, the daughter of Duke Barriston was among the first year students, who got trapped.
The Rowan House had sent their youngest son to the dungeon site to examine, on the request of Alicia Rowan, the student council president.
This information was to be contained within the academy itself, otherwise, the whole kingdom would be in chaos.
It was because, most of the important noble families had sent their children to study at the Imperial Knights’ Academy.
In the history of the Academy, no such accidents had ever happened.
The stakeholders and management were frantically trying to rescue those children, by any means possible.
But, things like information leak was bound to occur in such situations.
The kingdom was already built in different factions, based on different ideologies.
And this incident will only work as fuel to the fire, in this situation.
Only time would hold witness of everything that’s going to happen from now on.
On the other hand, the youngest son of the Rowan Family had already entered the dungeon.
The warriors, who fight for the kingdom, at the borders are called Knights.
Of course, students at the Academy at taught to be prepared for that level of danger.
Threats from other human, elven, beastmen, and demon kingdoms.
All of those are neutralized by the Border Kinghts.
This association is considered the strongest in the Kingdom, and one of the strongest in the entire world.
There are different battalions formed of 50 to 100 knights in a single battalion.
Yet there is a particular battalion, named the Moonlight battalion.
It consists of a single knight.
The youngest son of the Rowan Family.
A prodigious knight, with a monstrous ability of mana perception and manipulation.
Cedric Rowan.
The only knight in this kingdom who has ’no chakra’, open within him.
Yes, he doesn’t have any open chakra.
A special condition from birth, providing him insane abilities in exchange for it.
The strongest knight had entered the dungeon.
***
"For the next 24 hours, I forbid every living being inside this dungeon not to move."
Words echoed like commands, binding everyone to the ground, restricting them not to move.
His demeanor was that of a king.
His long brown hair, tied in a knot, a reverse swastik symbol, on his chest, a pair of white fangs, symbolic that of vampires.
Only difference was that he was naked, down to leg.
Maybe it was a habit of kings in the vampire regions, for them to walk around naked.
Or maybe this particular vampire just wanted to showoff his body.
Whatever the fact maybe, his ’blacksword’ was really short.
So short, that I was not able to control my laugh, and burst into laughter internally, as I couldn’t move a single muscle of my facial expression.
Well, men have their problems.
I, realizing my mistake to laugh on such a thing, controlled my emotions, and started scanning his whole surrounding, my focus still on his ’blacksword’.
It would be rude now to call it ’blacksword’, because, it was pure white, as was his body.
"So you were the ones beating up my thrall, huh? You all don’t seem that special.", he moved towards Monica who was still above that female vampire, one foot on her chest.
"Beastification, huh? Well, the form of lioness is a pretty good achievement for someone with only three chakras open.", he said, as if complimenting Monica.
"But, it’s amateurish compared to my time. Oh, well, things would be easier for me, then."
He continued to speak, and thought something for a few seconds, before turning towards me.
"........Hmmm? Your face kind of irritates me.", and with a slight movement of his index finger, a deep cut was made on my face, by something like an invisible blade.
Drops of blood trickled down, as I was unable to scream in pain.
The cut was not that deep, but it stung too hard.
Like it was poisonous or something.
"Hoh~? If it were anyone normal, they would have turned insane from that cut, as my blood was mixed in. You are actually interesting. State your name?", he said.
Eh? How was I supposed to answer when I can’t even move my muscles?
One thing was for sure though.
He can kill all of us any instant he wants.
Not just me and Monica, but everyone in this dungeon.
"Are you deaf or somethin? I asked you a fucking question."
He closed in the distance, and was just at a few centimeters away from my face.
Now I am starting to think that his brain is also as tiny as hi d*ck.
Then, almost like a dog, he sniffed me, from all sides.
"The Crimson Pact? How the hell is a human able to execute a skill of the demon race?"
He asked in confusion.
I wasn’t able to answer.
Not only because I couldn’t move an inch, but also because, I got to know this for the first time too.
So, crimson pact arts was a skill of the demon race.
But, it is an original skill of the Valen Family.
Although, there was no record of it being used after the formation of the nations of different races, but it’s still considered to be indigenous to the Valen Family.
As I was caught up in his statement, a wave of dust flew around, clearing the red mist once again, but this time, a blue colored mist followed instead.
With almost the same amount of thickness, the blue mist surrounded us completely, leaving even the naked vampire astonished.
Clack.
The sound of metal boots tapping against the ground, was louder than my own heartbeat and breathing.
Someone was approaching us.
But how?
Didn’t the naked vampire say something like no one in this dungeon can move.
Then all of us heard a voice, deeper, and coarser, in a musical tone.
"Don’t fear~
my dear ~,
cause I am here~."
