Chapter 131 - 33

The ones who came to that place were King Auva along with Prince Torin and Princess Melkia. They came together with dozens of soldiers behind them. When Prince Torin and Princess Melkia saw the heroes and Princesses in the crowd, they both felt guilty and quickly averted their eyes and refused eye contact with their new friends. Prince Torin couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Princess Rinne looking at him with disdain before.

"Sorry, we came late. Did any of you get hurt?" King Auva said apologetically. He immediately checked the condition of the students in front of him. But King Gustave stood in front of the students to block King Auva's view.

"We'd be happy if you didn't leave us with just your two kids before." King Gustave said coldly to King Auva.

"Haa... You know what the situation was like before. I was really worried about my two children so I quickly brought them back to the castle after finding them." King Auva tries to give them a false excuse. He tried to convince them that what he was doing was solely for the sake of his family.

"So...After you brought them back to the castle, You sit and watch our condition here from up there?" Merlick responded to King Auva's words while pointing at his castle. Merlick quipped at him in a sharp tone.

"That's..." King Auva intended to explain it again, but his words got stuck in his throat and didn't know what to say.

"You don't need to explain any further. Thank you for accepting us in your kingdom and also for your treatment of us. We will leave as soon as we get the magic train that will pick us up from the academy." King Gustave spoke first before King Auva could come up with a new excuse.

Currently, they couldn't return to the academy because their magic train was swallowed by the huge explosion before. The magic train was parked outside the royal capital, but they didn't expect the explosive power of Rosier's attack to reach that place.

"Fine if that's what you want. Soldier! Clean up this place quickly!" King Auva suddenly ordered the soldiers behind him. King Gustave and Merlick were confused by the intent of King Auva's order.

The soldiers started moving towards the golem Rosier's corpse. King Gustave and Merlick looked at each other and understood what King Auva's real purpose was in coming to that place. As the soldiers drew near to one of the golem's halves, a gigantic stomping of feet blocked their way.

Boooooooommmmmm!

The entire capital area shook. King auva was shocked by what Asura had done. He looked at Ziel who was floating in the sky.

"What do you mean?" King Auva asked in a hoarse voice.

"What do you want to do?" Ziel asked him back.

"Of course I will clean this place. I am the king of this Kingdom and am in charge of everything here." King Auva tried to be calm in his heart. He would do anything to get that golem's corpse, including fighting Ziel.

"Hmm... You mean by watching the fight from your castle right? Don't think I didn't see you." Ziel said nonchalantly. But his words made the students and teachers angry at King Auva. Even king Gustave and Merlick gritted their teeth in anger.

"Nonsense! Get rid of that monster! I am the king of this country and I have the right to take the corpse of the person who destroyed my royal capital!" King Auva grew impatient and raised his voice as he spoke.

"What did you bring it for? You don't even have the right to take it. If you want to clean it, I'll help you." Ziel stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

[Space Banishment]

The golem corpse suddenly sank into the ground, to be more precise it was sucked into the space rift that had formed right under the golem corpse. Ziel borrowed the power of his white sword, Alvha, to banish the golem's corpse from this world.

"No! Stop it!" King auva ran and tried to pull the golem back but it was too late because the golem had sunk into the space rift so fast. He could only touch the space in front of him because the golem corpses had already disappeared.

"Damn you!" King Auva shouted angrily and flew at Ziel, but he was smacked like a mosquito by Asura.

Boooooooommmmmm!

"Father!" Prince Torin and Princess Melkia shouted in unison. They ran to where King Auva fell and wanted to see how he was. But King Auva quickly got up and wanted to attack Ziel again.

"Aaahhhh!" King Auva took out his sword and readied to attack, but Ziel was already in front of him and strangled him with his left hand.

"Kugh..." King Auva wanted to speak but he couldn't breathe at all. King Gustave, Merlick, and the academy students were shocked by Ziel's actions. They didn't expect him to attack a king like that.

"Let go of my father!" Prince Torin and Princess Melkia want to attack Ziel but they are afraid of hitting their father. Ziel waved his right hand and they were confined within a cube-shaped barrier. Their voices didn't even come out. The soldiers were about to attack Ziel, but when they saw Ziel glancing at them, the soldiers couldn't move at all. Then Ziel returned to focus on the King Auva in his hand.

"Why are you so stubborn about that golem? Didn't I tell you already? You don't have that right." Ziel loosened his grip on king Auva's neck so he could speak.

"No kidding! Of course, I deserve it as compensation for what she's done!" king auva rebelled and tried to escape from ziel's stranglehold but his efforts were in vain.

"Why did you take that golem? Ah, to take the technology and create a combat golem with the same power?" Ziel stared coldly at King Auva.

"What!? I don't know what you're saying!" King Auva was shocked after hearing what he said. He tried to refute Ziel's words.

"Eh!?" King Gustave and Merlick were shocked after hearing about the reason why King Auva stubbornly wanted the golem's corpse. If that was true then the balance of every kingdom on the continent would be broken. The Dwarven Kingdom may invade other kingdoms. If that happens, there will certainly be war in the future.

"Don't listen to him! He's just talking nonsense!" King Auva tried to clear up the misunderstanding. But his words were useless.

"You don't need to talk much. You know… if you keep that kind of intention and start a war, I wouldn't think twice about eliminating the Dwarven Kingdom from the Clorius continent. You know I can do that." ziel said coldly to king auva and made everyone in the place feel a chill down their spine.

"Kugh...are you threatening me!?" King Auva drowned and feared that Ziel would do that.

"Hmm... This time only your royal capital was destroyed. Ah, that's not all..." Ziel took out a black sword and slashed it towards the castle tower.

Boooooooommmmmm!

The castle tower that had previously been able to withstand the explosion from Rosier's attack suddenly split into two and fell slowly.

"You!? What are you doing!?" King Auva roared and expended more strength to free himself but it was all in vain. The difference in their strength was too great.

"That's just a warning from me, next time I will flatten the entire Dwarven Kingdom if you still insist on your goal. Remember my words." Ziel tightened his choke on King Auva's neck until he finally fell unconscious. He threw King Auva at Prince Torin and Princess Melkia's place.

"He didn't die, I just knocked him unconscious." Ziel was about to leave immediately, but someone shouted to stop him.

"Please wait! I want to ask you something!?" Kyouka and Princess Aishia ran over to Ziel.

"Ziel, long time no see!" Princess Aishia greets Ziel shyly. Ziel just nodded in response and looked at Kyouka.

"What do you want from me?" Ziel said nonchalantly, he felt Kyouka wasted his time there.

"Is there a way for us to return to our homeworld?" Kyouka doubtfully asked him. She was afraid of getting an answer that could shatter her hopes.

"Aren't you asking the wrong person? Shouldn't you be asking the person over there?" Ziel glanced at King Gustave who was standing next to Merlick. King Gustave averted his gaze in embarrassment.

"That...they said they didn't know." Kyouka smiled sadly as she thought about it.

"Then there's nothing I can do for you." Ziel turned around and was about to leave her but Kyouka suddenly cast magic to block his way. Princess Aishia next to Kyouka was shocked by her actions.

"What do you mean by all this?" Ziel looked coldly at Kyouka and poured his pressure on her. Kyouka's body became heavy and it became difficult to breathe. She knelt causing a small crater around her. It showed how strong the pressure Ziel was exerting on Kyouka.

"Ugh!" Kyouka tried to stand up but Ziel's pressure didn't let her move a finger at all.

"Kyouka!" Hikaru and the other heroes intend to help Kyouka but Ziel locks them up just like he did with Prince Torin and Princess Melkia.

"I'll say it one more time. I can't do anything for you. Be stronger and find your answer." Ziel turned away and left the place. Kalya runs after him and walks beside him. Ziel tore the space in front of him. He holds Kayla's hand and disappears into the space rift with her. When the space rift was closed, the situation returned to calm. Ziel's pressure and the barrier that imprisoned the heroes and royal families of the Dwarven Kingdom also dissipated.

Princess Aishia pouted when she saw Ziel taking the initiative to hold the hand of the other black-robed person. She knew it was a girl from her gesture.

"Father! Wake up, Father!" Princess Melkia tries to wake her unconscious father. The academy students only looked at her and no one wanted to help her. The students were grateful for the invitation to the Dwarven Kingdom but they were disappointed with what King Auva had done to them. If Ziel didn't help them then they would surely die.

"Kyouka! Are you okay?" Megumi asked worriedly. She quickly checked Kyouka's condition.

"I am alright." Kyouka shook her head. She got goosebumps as she recalled the pressure that Ziel had given her so overwhelming.

(Right. I need to get stronger!)

Kyouka remembers the last words Ziel said before he left. She was determined in her heart. Next time she would ask him again when she had become stronger.

"Thank goodness you're okay." Megumi let out a sigh of relief after knowing Kyouka was in good condition.

"What the hell is that guy!? How dare he do that to you!" Sintaro was angry because he felt completely helpless when Kyouka was hurt. Even though he's like a playboy but his affection for Kyouka is real.

"I'm fine. I was at fault. What are we going to do now?" Kyouka shook her head and looked at the situation around her.

"That..." Hikaru wanted to say something but was interrupted by someone's voice.

"Students and teachers gather!" Merlick shouted commanding the students and teachers who were scattered around the place.

Not long after, the students lined up according to their respective classes. Just as Merlick was about to begin his explanation, he saw two people walking towards them. The first person was a beautiful elf with emerald green hair, she was Kalya. She is seen carrying a black-haired boy who is unconscious, he is Ziel. Their clothes were dirty and dusty. They also had many wounds all over their bodies. Princess Aishia narrowed her eyes at the appearance of Ziel and Kalya. She seemed to be thinking about something in her mind.

"Kalya! Where have you been? What happened?" Merlick walked over to them and checked their condition.

"Ah...when I parted from the other teachers, I saw the student wandering around alone. I chased after him and wanted to take him to gather with the other students, but suddenly there was an explosion and we were buried in the rubble. Luckily, we were fine. Right now he was just unconscious." Kalya saying it with a serious face like it is the truth.

Princess Freya, Princess Iris, and Lilith almost laughed hearing the reason Kalya said. They tried their best to keep it from getting the attention of others. On the other hand, Rhea couldn't help but smile bitterly hearing Kalya's reasonable excuse.

"Fortunately, you're all right. Then let him rest. I'll explain what we're going to do next." Merlick heaved a sigh of relief after learning of their condition. In this way, none of the academy students were seriously injured let alone died. Kalya nodded and handed Ziel to Dalvin and James.. After that, she gathered with the other teachers and started listening to Merlick's explanation.
