406 Chapter 406 : Fall Out!!

Just as Ryouji got the notification, a large circle was powered up beneath his feet, emitting an enormous amount of heat...

This caused Ryouji to lose his concentration for a second, though it didn't truly matter and didn't even bother to dodge the magic chains that burst from the floor and circling around him as he was trapped inside...

Many had caught his legs, many his arms and others his waist and chest leaving only his head out of them as he looked straight to the eyes of the King who now had a fearless expression...

Ryouji : What's the meaning of this??"

Faust : It has two versions the short one and the long one... Which would you prefer??"

Ryouji : The one that will make me spare your life...

Faust : Hahahahahaha...

Ryouji : What's so funny???

Faust : That is if you are able to use magic at all...

Faust : You see those chains absorb all the magic within living beings...

Faust : We had them in the past for very heinous criminals, unfortunately, we discarded them because of the huge magic amount needed to activate them...

Ryouji : I see you had connected all the devices here and when they charged the Lacrimas in their position you activated the chains...

Faust : Correct, although they will realise that they lost a huge amount it will be too late...

Ryouji : And what happened to the absorbed magic??

Faust : It usually powers up a few things in the palace but the gain we got from criminals were so minimal it wasn't worth the verdict to do so...

Faust : But since you have an enormous amount of Magic it was worth the delay and the last bit of what we had to repair them and use them...

Ryouji looked at the chains and then again at Faust who had a smug on his face but since he was the one who had pushed him by controlling him towards this path he had to play the role right??

Ryouji : And you think one set of chains are gonna stop me??

Ryouji slowly raised his magic output causing the chains to start vibrating and then tremble visibly in Faust's eyes and just as Ryouji saw him having an expression of fear...

He suddenly took 180 decrees turn, as he smiled and snapped his fingers making another set of 5 chains appear from the ceiling completely engulfing Ryouji and making the trembling stop...

Faust : Sigh... It was truly worth it to empty the treasure room and melt all the materials to create the second set...

Byro : My king his signature has vanished he can no longer use magic...

Faust : Good... Notify the others to kill the invaders...

Byro : Yes...

Faust watched as Byro was walking away and he was truly blessed that almost 20 days ago, he suddenly remembered the chains, all the while making a plan in his dreams seeming so vividly...

How should he guess that it was Ryouji controlling and pushing his soul towards his darkest secrets...

Alghouth Ryougi knew about everything forgotten under the palace he didn't know how the king will take those and formulate a plan...

It was like you learned that someone is holding a gun but you have no idea if weapon handling and his marksmanship is F or possibly S...

On different parts of the city, Mira, Erza, Lucy, Cana, Levy, Ur, Lisanna, Natsu, Gray, Gajeel and Ultear noticed something was off as they intended to push inside 1% of their magic to test the waters in case it was a bombing section and surprisingly they lost 5%.

At the same time, all of them felt movement around and got surrounded by countless soldiers and generals showing to them clearly that they fell from grace.
