Chapter 34 - Invading Romania

Departing from Stockholm I soared over the Baltic Sea with my current speed I can make it to Romania in 40 minutes but my only concern now is if I can make it in time. Within these past few months not only have my stats increased but so has my bloodline. Then along with my bloodline, I also go a convenient innate ability.

It's [flight] just as the name goes I can fly in the air without external support, it's just that it takes practice. After spending nine months in the labyrinth I was able to gain acceptable mastery of this ability. The more I awaken my bloodline the fast I can fly, that's the conclusion I came up with since whenever I rose the percentage on my bloodline I seemed to gain some more speed in this ability.

Sadly not only does my unawoken bloodline hinder my [flight] ability it also prevents me from forming my Knight's Order since in order to 'create' a new knight I need to use primordial energy. The reason for this is because the words of power used in the chant will not only activate the skill but also strengthen the bodies of my knights. As for my current knight candidates, I have Kuroka, Shirone, Yasaka, and my four guardians. I originally wanted to add Irina but because of what happened I don't want to think of that right now.

As for the list of candidates it could be bigger it's just I haven't met any of them yet so I can't be certain that I can get them on my side. The system wouldn't give me a clear answer on what happens to the individual once they become my knight but I can tell that they'll gain a lot of power once they do.

After around 30 minutes I felt I was getting closer to my target so I went over my stats once before picking up speed.

Yu - Everything seems to be in order... System how close am I to the target?

*Ding*[Host will arrive in 3 minutes 46 seconds]

Yu - Accurate as always.

??? - [Milord this is Haven's Communication Department all units are ready for deployment at your order.]

Yu - Perfect have everyone on standby for now.

??? - [At your command]

Receiving the report through my comlink I continued my flight until I was blocked by a strong barrier. Breaking it would take a while, and if I use my magic and other attack methods I could break it at the expense of a portion of my reserves but I have a better idea. Moving a couple of meters away from the barrier I used my least used skill.

Yu - [King's Authority]

Once I thought of using this skill 5 silver gates opened behind me and 5 big dragons came through. 4 of them were smaller than the fifth but when compared to the fifth these dragons were carrying around a hundred soldier on their backs. Their colors varied from grey to brown and they had 2 wings and four limbs. The classic western dragon.

As for the biggest dragon it was similar to the eastern dragons with a snake-like body with two front arms. It was a cyan blueish color, and no soldiers were on its back there was only a single throne, this dragon was one of my guardians the Azure Dragon of the East. When I had first helped the Yokai I completed a secret quest that gave me 4 Pure Beast Spirit Fetuses.

With the systems help, I was able to understand what a Pure Beast Spirit Fetuses. It was a beast spirit that had no bloodline or influence and I could choose what animal it would become. After some careful thinking, I gave the fetuses my blood because I had some primordial beast blood in it. Within one night those 4 fetuses became a small white tiger cub, a newborn phoenix, as small black turtle, and a small azure colored dragon.

These beasts took upon the characteristics of the 4 primordial beast and what's more, Pure Beast Spirit Fetuses imprint on the first thing they see just like a real animal. Since they took their characteristic I named them after my skills Byakko, Suzaku, Genbu, and Seiryu.

Within 4 months they had already become around 3 meters tall, then at 6 months, they began to speak to me through telepathy. At 8 months old they could transform into humans, and Genbu grew to 15 meters and Seiryu became larger than 30 meters. Their growth was tremendous and they had the strength reached that of a first tier Ultimate rank and would only get stronger the more they grew.

An unexpected thing that happened though was when they were around 2 months old animals that would become their descendants began to appear in Haven and the system told me it was through their influence that this happened.

Apparently, the energies produced from their bodies speed up the animal creation in Haven and thus while there are no human-like people being born in Haven there are now animals all throughout the area.

These four treated me as a father as well as a master and would do any order I commanded of them. I had previously sent them out with some operatives on multiple missions as humans, but now I wanted to make a show of the Tepes Faction as well as any other faction watching from the shadows.

Don't F*** with Haven

This wasn't just a rescue mission it was a warning to any would-be enemies in the shadows

Seiryu - [Master what is your command]

Bowing his gigantic head I flew to the throne on it and then spoke while pointing at the barrier.

Yu - All of you, fire at this barrier I want it destroyed immediately.

Seiryu - [At your command]

Seiryu - RRRRAAAAWWWRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Dragons - 4x RRRRAAAAWWWRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Letting out a thunder-like roar all of the dragons opened their mouths and beams of light shot from their mouths. Within seconds the barrier cracked and shattered to pieces.

Looking upon the scenery beyond the barrier I saw an army of thousands trying to besiege a hillside encampment. The ones on the hill were my people who were making use of the many defense and attack runes provided for them, and the ones on the ground were trying to destroy to defense barrier.

Any soldier that got close would be cut down by the two ultimate ranked operative on the ground, while the 4 high-ranked operatives were making use of attack runes to barrage the enemy army.

Yu - Looks like we made it in time.

Everyone on the battlefield was shocked by our appearance and some started to despair when they saw Seiryu. The operatives, however, were delighted when they saw the Haven flag held by the soldier riding on the other dragons.

Yu - Assist our allies on the ground, leave no enemy alive!!! GO!!!!

Soldier - AAARRRGGHHHH!!!!!!

Dragons - 4x RRRRAAAAWWWRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

At my command, all the dragons left for the battlefield but I had Seriyu stay behind.

Yu - Seriyu head to the Tepes Faction's main base if I'm not wrong it should be in the mountain range east the neighboring the Carmilla Faction. {A/N: Totally made that up I forgot if it was even mentioned so I just spitballed it}

Seriyu - [Understood]

Leaving the main battlefield I made my way to the Tepes Faction's main base. Before long a medieval castle came into view. Sending a mental command I had Seriyu fire his dragon's breath on the walls and towers. Then with another command, I had him land on the ground.

Looking at all the vampires running around trying to control the situation I smirked at them. Seriyu who had turned back into a human stay expressionless behind me as if the chaos around us didn't exist.

Yu - [This is what you get for kicking the dragon's tail]

While walking towards the main building I saw a large group of vampires trying to block our way. They seemed to be ready to fight us to the death and Seriyu was about to engage them in my stead but I stopped him.

Seriyu - Master?

Yu - For guys like them you don't even need to fight.

The strongest in the group was just a first tier high rank and wasn't a challenge to either of us but I had another idea in mind.

Not stopping even when the vampires charged at me the shadow below my feet expanded and a full legion of black soldiers appeared from within.

Yu - Go and capture them for me.

While they weren't strong they still had some uses for me so I might as well capture them.

Yu - Let the conquest begin.
