Chapter 235 Attacking The Royal Palace

"What?" King Tom's roar reverberated through the throne room.

The new Hand of the King shuddered as he lowered his head.

"What did you just say?" King Tom inquired again with a fiery gaze.

"Your Majesty, the headquarters of the Pugilist Academy has fallen".

"W-what?" This time, King Tom stuttered.

His confidence and arrogance that had been an essential part of his reign as King could no longer be detected from him, only shock and fear dominated now.

He stared at his new Hand with shock still evident on his face.

King Tom hated the Grade C superhumans because they were individuals that were too powerful for their own good, and he felt that their power inflated their ego, making them think they were bigger than the King.

He vehemently opposed them because he wanted to restrict their power.

He remained stubborn against their pleas because he wanted to continually affirm before them that he was the King, that he was the one in charge.

Despite all his shenanigans, he still had an instinctive fear of these individuals. Every single one of them had the power to obliterate him with a single breath, this was more than enough for him to respect and fear them.

The most notorious of them all was Jon Stones.

Since when he was an innocent 5-year old boy, King Tom had heard of the myth of this Pugilist Legend. Jon Stones' exploits were too numerous to count.

This legend continually redefined the limits of what was possible to an individual, he was the trailblazer to all other Grade C superhumans in the planet.

He still remembered vividly when his own father told him about his grandfather, King Roland. He could never forget it when his father told him of how King Roland also hated Jon Stones and went up against him.

He still vividly remembered how the story ended, it felt like a movie to him.

His Grandfather, the King and Sovereign of Planet Darvis had to bow his head to another individual. After the outcome of the assassination attempt, Jon Stones sent Core Protector Shanks to go inform King Roland of the outcome.

After receiving the news, King Roland was humbled.

This mighty King stepped down from his throne because of a single warrior, allowing his son to take over to prevent the ire of this single warrior.

It was since he heard this story that Tom's fear and respect for Jon Stones increased, but it increased more than that, it also increased his hate for this warrior.

This became the main reason why King Tom hated Grade C Superhumans.

Despite his hate, he still respected them, he never expected Jon Stones to die, he didn't even believe that a warrior as powerful as Jon Stones could die.

"W-what did you just say?"

"What do you m-mean?"

He kept on stuttering in disbelief as his new Hand kept his head bowed.

He finally asked. "Who did it?"

His new Hand struggled to answer. "…The Clown Society".

Crack!

King Tom felt like his brain just cracked in twain, he deflated.

"The Clown Society…" He muttered.

Flashbacks of the meeting that he had with the Grade C Superhumans and leaders of the planet more than 6 months ago flashed back in his head.

They argued with him to curb the terrorists then when they were still in their infant stage, but to spite them and establish his authority, he remained stubborn like a spoilt brat and argued on the excuse of his father's mourning.

"S-since when did this happen?" He stuttered again as he asked.

"Approximately 15 minutes ago".

King Tom shuddered as he looked outside. "What have I done?"

Just a few seconds after he spoke…

"Abaddon Specialty: Fist of Destruction!"

BOOM!

After taking his time, Black Master Abaddon finally arrived.

King Tom shuddered on his throne chair as he messed up himself just from the mighty sound that reverberated like those of a thousand rumbling thunder.

Black Master Abaddon had no intentions of making it a small affair, he wanted to blow up this affair as much as possible. This was why he went in through the front gate, his fist tore the massive gate of the royal palace apart.

The royal guards were caught off-guard as dozens of them died from the attack, before they could attack, Black Master Abaddon attacked again.

"Special Pugilist Ability: Shockwave Burst!"

"Abaddon Specialty: 3 Doom Burst!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

This Black Master's incredible attack tore more holes in the royal palace.

Dozens of royal guards died to his incredible attack, finally opening enough space for his followers to join him as they stormed into this palace.

Shockingly, only 10 warriors followed Black Master Abaddon for this attack.

Though all 10 were Red Masters, this was still a small force.

On seeing their opponents, though they were startled at first, the royal guards soon mobilized. Though their Commander was sent out by the King on a useless mission, they remained faithful as the serving Captains took command.

Gigantic energy shields were erected as they formed a defensive perimeter.

These defensive perimeters were not going to last against a Grade C superhuman. With his incredible power, Black Master Abaddon tore through them.

The royal guards didn't erect the shields to protect the palace though, they erected them to buy more than enough time for the King Protectors to arrive.

Inside the throne room, at both sides of the throne were 2 doppelgangers.

These were the doppelgangers of the 2 sworn protectors of the King.

As soon as the commotion started in the royal palace, the 2 sworn King Protectors saw it through the eyes of the doppelgangers. Using the signals in the doppelgangers as a navigator, both King Protectors teleported to the palace.

Bzzz! Bzzz!

The first arrived through a green teleportation portal.

Diana, the Wood Warrior arrived first. This powerful Water Elementalist who specialized in wood life teleported in as her green hair waved to the wind.

Following behind her was Magna, the Light Summoner.

A white teleportation portal opened through which this Summoner and his gigantic White Mutated Dove flew through to the royal palace.

In the air, their powerful Grade C energy expanded like a raging flood.

The morale of the royal guards increased as they roared.

Black Master Abaddon showed no signs of despair though as he faced these 2 powerful Grade C powerhouses, he ignored them and focused on planting a signal that emitted a great amount of frost energy.

As soon as he planted the signal, he pushed his Pugilist energy in.

With a slight humming sound, the signal was activated.

Far away in the deepest and darkest regions of the North, a powerful existence detected the signal. This powerful existence moved.

A pitch-black teleportation portal that looked like it came directly from the abyss appeared the next moment, and from inside it emitted a sinister energy.

A sinister, cold, and extremely menacing undead energy.

"ROAR…!!!"

The shriek and roar of a Dragon reverberated.

The bony legs of this Dragon stepped through first, then the mighty sinister energy intensified as it swept everywhere like a plague.

Boom!
