Chapter 427 Show Of Force

With the father out of the way, I looked at the sly cat, who was staring at me with fear in his eyes and a crushed face from punching himself. "Faith! Look my father wasn't thinking correctly! We will call back the troops right away!"

"It's too late. I am sure you must have a system by now." Of course, I already knew this since I used appraisal on him, and he was already level 160. "You see… our soldiers are pretty high level. My father in law is also at a high level, along with one of my own people who is at an even higher level. Let me ask you, just these two people alone whose levels range over two thousand, do you really think an army of one billion low levels can harm them?"

The sly cat's face paled, and his tail sagged. I guess he finally understood the biggest problem of all… They underestimated the power of my empire. "I will give you one chance. Tell me, why did you attack my empire? No… Tell me who instructed you to invade my empire. Was it a man or woman with purple lines on their body?"

"This…" The sly cat averted his eyes. So I guess my guess was right. I do wonder what level they are.

"I see… then I am sorry. Of all the people you could have colluded with, you had to collude with them. My biggest enemy." My voice grew cold as a sadistic smile formed on my lips. "I do wonder. If I drain you of your blood, will you become my slave?"

I flicked my fangs that began to protrude out. And disappeared and reappeared behind the sly cat. I guess my charm began to instantly take effect because his entire body went limp as if accepting what was about to happen. I chomped down and began to drink. I was not anywhere near limiting the blood I was taking in as I drank it without restraint. The sly cat's body began to grow cold as blood flowed into my system. Sadly he only gave me one experience point per second, but it was better than nothing. A few minutes later, I pulled my mouth away from his neck and wiped my lips, and let out a satisfied sigh. How long had it been since I felt this full?

I looked at the dried up husk in front of me, who was too weak to even more, and shook my head. With a flick of my finger, I sent him flying down into the ground below, creating a massive crater. "Now then!" I stretched and looked down at the castle below, that now had a few more holes in it, and frowned. "What is going on down there?"

"It seems someone appeared and is now fighting Lady Grace," Atollie replied. I used detection magic to see Grace fighting someone who was on par with her level and snorted. "Atollie, if anyone stronger appears, deal with them. I will handle this person."

"As you wish." Atollie respectfully bowed to me before following behind me as we descended into the castle.

What awaited us was a now destroyed throne room. Many holes riddled the walls, and even part of the floor had been destroyed all the way to the basement. I looked at the woman who had purple lines on her body and checked her level.

[Level: 2636]

"Oh? Grace is doing pretty well against someone who is of a higher level than her. I guess she has been using her points wisely. Then again, I am sure she would say,: 'All servants must be able to protect their masters!'" I said with a chuckle. But I could see that Grace was slowly getting at a disadvantage. Just as she was being kicked away, I appeared behind her and supported her before she flew off. "I will deal with this guy. Go play with the king."

"Yes, Master." Grace nodded as she wiped her sweat and turned her attention to the man hiding behind the throne.

The Altorian woman stared at me with killing intent in her eyes. "Trinity!"

"Unfortunately, no." I  admitted but paused and added: "Well, I guess yes, at the same time. You see, Trinity and I are one and the same. I am her, she is me. Although I do hate to admit but it is the truth." This was a fact, and I just had to accept it.

"But you see, you Altorians really must at me. You even got this kingdom to run amok and send one billion soldiers to my empire. Did you know? You worms are getting stupider with every meeting?" I asked with a smile.

"You! You call us worms, but we are just doing what we were created to do. To us, you are nothing but a means for us to…. Forget it. I will kill you here now, Trinity or whoever you are!" The Altorian woman yelled out as she dashed forward with a strange purple sword in her hand. I shrugged and allowed her to strike at me.

*Ding!*

It was as if a bell was being tolled. The metal from her purple sword slammed into my arm, causing sparks to fly all over the place. I had created a set of scales on my arm and blocked the attack. I still had one hand behind my back as I slowly reached up and grabbed the blade of the sword while the Altorian woman stood there in shock. I could tell she was trying to figure out what the hell had just happened.

"Was the scene too shocking for you? Did you think I would sit around and do nothing? You see…. Even my armor is morphable. I purposely moved it out of the way to show my bare arm and allowed my scales to appear to prove something to you." I paused and smiled as I jerked the woman forward and slammed my fist in her face. I dug it down, so her head slammed directly into the floor. "And that something was that you are nothing but a worm. Now die!"
