The Kingmaker System

Chapter 727 - 726. Eldarf Team Dispatch (1)

[Emergency Quest Activated.]

[Yggdrasil is in danger.]

[Failing to protect Yggdrasil will lead to World Destruction.]

[Emergency Quest Activated.]

[Save the candidate.]

[Your chosen candidate Prince Eric Delle Ferin Marismus is in mortal danger.]

[Warning.

Prince Carlos Marus Ferin Marismus is in mortal danger.

Princess Alys Scarlet Ferin Marismus is in mortal danger.]

Ocean’s eyes flicked over to the red flashing warning notifications, over scanning them quickly he could see the names of both the Princes and Princess being there but not of Davian.

Ocean wanted to sigh with relief but he knew, if things went like this things would go out of hand.

Just then another notification flashed by.

[Emergency Quest Activated.]

[Warning.

Grand Duke Alarice and Grand Duchess Dahlia are in mortal danger.]

Ocean sighed, this indeed was an all out siege planned by the dark forces as per what Ruel had told him but now that it had come to this point, Ocean had to dispatch the last team which would turn the tides and by the way Lilith was unsettled, he could enact the next step of his plan right away.

He brought his communication brooch up to his lips and the stone glowed bright blue.

Lilith’s eyes narrowed as she watched his suspiciously and he only spoke one command.

"Eldarf team dispatch."

Ocean then smirked and looked at Lilith, she didn’t understand what that meant but Ocean’s self-possessed smirk was not what she had expected.

"Are we done here Lilith?" Ocean asked as he took one step towards her.

Lilith didn’t even have time to exhale the breath that she had inhaled before Ocean disappeared from her sight and in the next split second, she felt the crushing force gripping her neck and her back being slammed into bricks.

She heard several cracks but the shock made it hard to discern whether it was her own bones cracking or the brick wall behind her.

"Enough play now, why don’t you scram to your Dominus?" He spoke in a low voice that sent chills down her spine.

Her instincts screamed at her to get away, the force on her neck seemed to be increasing with each second and she couldn’t help but see her own ashy white face turning purple. Bright stars flashed in her vision and she reached out gripping his wrist trying to dig her nails into his skin but it was too hard that she felt her nails cracking.

Soon enough, her hands felt like they were losing strength and her eyes started rolling back.

Ocean let go of Lilith and she fell to the ground coughing wildly as the air made its way back into her burning lungs. Her neck throbbed, her back was bleeding and she couldn’t feel any strength in her legs.

Ocean used telekinesis to pick up the Tome from where it had fallen. He could sense a deep sense of void from the pages as he flipped past them. The ink moved under his gloved finger’s touch.

He then looked down at Lilith who was glaring up at him, she quickly dug her hand onto the sleeve of another before she grinned wildly.

"You will fail."

Ocean smirked, it was time.

"All teams listen." He spoke in his communication brooch.

"I’m heading to out now. You all are to survive at any costs and take out the targets. My people will take care of things around you, take out the three calamities."

"Master, there’s a monster in colosseum, it has killed the Golden Serpent!" Suddenly he heard a voice and his eyebrows twitched.

"Miss Alys... is fighting it..."

Ocean turned his head and spotted the Supreme Dragon of Wind Caelthir who sat atop the spire, his eyes were in the direction of the colosseum.

"She will take care of it then." Ocean spoke.

"... All right, Master."

Ocean couldn’t help but curse under his breath as he realised that there weren’t 3 but 4 calamities, Ruel’s information was still incomplete but it wasn’t too bad. Everything was going according to the plan.

He would have to leave Sestia in the hands of the humans and Kai while he took care of things in Edrisyl.

"What are we waiting for?" He turned his head to see Isyrrha standing next to him now.

He wasn’t alone for this one, Isyrrha had refused to help humans but she was ready to help the Elves and Dwarves.

"Nothing, let’s go." Ocean said as he gave her his hand.

Isyrrha grasped his hand and he activated the teleportation spell, sending a silent prayer that his plan would work.

Alarice was starting to feel exhausted as he parried the two claymore wielders, half of his men were already injured and the other half had dispatched to help Dahlia since even she had to fight the dark mages.

Alarice gritted his teeth and swung his longsword, sending a strong shockwave of aura force towards the two dark mages.

The two were thrown a few feet away but they recovered quickly and then charged at him again.

Suddenly, one of them stopped and was almost yanked away as if he were a mere puppet whose strings were pulled. He flew and smashed into the tree.

The other dark mage also stopped in his tracks too shocked, the other dark mage coughed and gripped his throat which was now bleeding.

Alarice watched as a lithe figure flew from the trees towards the shocked dark mage and he held his claymore up but the black figure was too fast for eyes to follow.

Alarice saw the silver flashing before he saw the black blood splashing from the several cuts over the dark mage’s body.

The knights who watched the sudden change were stupefied.

"Wha-What just happened?" One of them ended up asking.

Three black clad figures had appeared out of nowhere, one of them was weaving around the dark mage who was still on his feet with his blood pooling at his feet.

Another one who was down had stopped moving altogether now and the last black figure walked up to Alarice.

Alarice quickly noticed the presence and couldn’t help but feel surprised.

These were the ones from Eldarf. One was an Elf- a girl who was carrying the twin daggers, one was probably a Dwarf who stood before him and lastly was a female dark elf who seemed to be wielding thin silver strings which she used to cut the dark mage’s head.

The last fighter ended the dark mage’s with a final kick before facing Alarice.

"Master has ordered us to make sure you are safe." The one who stood before him said and Alarice couldn’t help but sigh with relief as a small smile appeared on his handsome face.

"I see... Then, are you going to help Dahlia too?" He asked.

"Teams are set out to protect our side. Don’t worry, Big Sis will be safe." One of the girls clad in black said.

He had met them years ago which was why it was hard to put a name to the voice of this young woman.

He could only smile, "Thanks for coming."

The three nodded back.

Dahlia and Alder were shocked as well when suddenly three figures had appeared out of nowhere.

One was unmistakably a dwarf young man according to his build who wielded an axe and fought against the hammer wielding dark mage.

The whip wielder was having a hard time against a dark elf young man who was too swift and carrying what resembled a boomerang but its ends were silver wickedly curved blades. The young man would weave back and forth avoiding the whip while the boomerang that he threw would return and slash against the dark mage when he least expected.

The last dark mage was grabbed by the last black clad Elf who dragged him before Dahlia and Alder. He was already dead, the elf had snapped his neck the moment he found the dark mage healer.

"Just... How is this possible?" One of the dark knights gasped.

"Wh-Who are they?" Alder wondered.

Dahlia could only let out a surprised chuckle as she ran her hand through her hair as she realised just who these three were.

"They’re Eldarf kids, Adler." She said.

Adler was shocked, he had only seen them a few times in the past when they were kids, but watching them here in front of him. He couldn’t help but feel his blood run cold, the young, enthusiastic kids were now youngsters who were capable of defeating the dark mages with ease.

"They’ve all grown." Dahlia spoke with a smile.

Adler was tempted to mutter that they had grown into perfect killing tools, but he knew that would be extremely rude.

After the three were done with their work, they all looked at Dahlia. Two of them approached her, she could easily recognize the axe wielding one but she wasn’t sure who the other two were.

"You’re Rowan, aren’t you?" She asked the Dwarf.

The said Dwarf chuckled, "Yes, it’s me!"

She turned her head to look at the other two, the elf sighed as if disappointed that she didn’t recognise him.

"I’m Cyrus."

Dahlia gasped and then smiled, "I’m sorry. You’ve all grown so much."

She then looked at the Dark Elf, "We were sent by Master to protect you."

"Alarice too?" She asked.

The dark elf nodded and Rowan added, "Don’t worry, Sis! Elysia, Vanya and Big sister Cynthia went to save him."

Dahlia felt the relief wash over her and suddenly she realised that the rain had stopped.

She looked up at the sky that was slowly starting to clear. Ocean’s rain had stopped, did that mean that he was heading there?

She faced the three figures before her and smiled, "Thank you for coming. Let’s move ahead then."

The three nodded and disappeared from her sight, they were too fast for human eyes which was again a fact that made her smile as she realised how time had flown so fast.

The kids were all grown up now.
