Chapter 155: Chapter 155
Arthur's Point of View
Reed Farmstead
"If you want, but I can handle this easy enough."
Elincia looked to my feet where Demons lay dead and replied, amused. "I can see that." Then she turned to the other Ghouls. "However, these Demons seem to be forgetting that these lands are protected by my sister and I."
One Ghoul decided to be lippy as he floated above us at a distance. "You and your sister are nothing more than plastic pawns that move when others allow it." He barked with a glare. "Enjoy your peace while it lasts, 'Princess'." Then he turned to me. "The king of-"
He was interrupted as one of my pillars slammed into his back and put him right at my feet. "You talk too much." The Ghoul barely had a moment to look up at me before I separated his neck from his shoulders. "Anyone else feeling overly chatty?" I asked around the farm. "I want people who will talk, but snide little bitches like this one are gonna get cut up." My statement as I gestured to the most recent dead body made them go silent.
A certain Priestess was studying me since I silenced the Ghoul. "Well, I suppose we should wrap this up."
I knew this was likely from the mountain top two thousand years ago. Rudnurth came to mind at what could have changed since my return. Maybe it has been dormant all this time, and Rudnurth activated it, or it's been with her all along. Whatever he implanted in her back then, it was starting to act up, and I became worried as it got stronger and stronger as she fought.
Since Elincia was getting tired, and she had whittled down the enemy numbers enough, the remaining were easy enough to take care of. Unleashing a wave of energy over the area surprised everyone present. The Ghouls defensively turned to me, but soon found themselves frozen in place.
Twenty-something Ghouls remained locked in place from six different Gravity Pillars holding them there. Each struggled, but my control was far better now. Soon, they began to pop like balloons that were squeezed far too hard. Although, this was on purpose. Blood stayed pooled in little orbs midair while the Ghouls died one after another. Elincia landed beside me in shock as she watched.
I must have killed the Demon who was generating the barrier around the farm since it began to dissipate. "Looks like I got lucky." With one left alive, I slowly moved it in front of me as it looked around in horror. "Now, do you feel like talking?" He was silent. "There aren't any more of you hiding in wait, so there's no reason for this to get messy." A glare greeted me in return.
"A defender that has fallen before isn't a defender we need to be scared of!" The Ghoul spat. "You already failed before, and look where we are because of you!" The hate from the Demon wasn't something I was expecting. "All hail the Kin-"
However, before it could finish, I crushed him. A frown took over my face. These Ghouls knew of me, which was something I did not expect. I thought this was just another group that was ordered to their doom, but they seemed to know me personally. Unless Ghouls lived for thousands of years, which I doubted, that meant something else was at work here. All of this was unnerving to me.
"Arthur-" Elincia began, but shouting from all around could be heard.
Hundreds, if not thousands of Humans, Elves, and Zugal charged in ready for war. "Look how cute they look." I told Elincia, which got her to smack my chest and roll her eyes.
"Be nice." She chided me.
"Never!"
