The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 101, Message of Threat
The war has just begun. Sumiko was in her room which was heavily guarded by the royal guards. Sumiko lay on the bed thinking of something while curling up her body. As for me, it was on its way to the meeting point. I ran through the flames and jumped the building in front of me. I tried so hard to avoid all the Firemen who were everywhere while waiting for Sistine to pray. The other groups were led by Shiro, Tohka, and Artoria. They're heading to a place according to strategy.
I kept running and dodging the Fireman as best I could, Sei flew with his sword in the air. I ran with Liyu following me from behind. Suddenly a voice appeared in our left ear. I believe that the other group heard it too.
"O soul that wanders. I will cleanse you and free you from your suffering... Accell." said Sistine.
I was confident and nodded my head towards Liyu. I took out my sword and instantly unhesitatingly finished off the Fireman who was there.
After a few minutes, Liyu and I continued to run while being led by Sei who was flying in the right direction. Liyu and I have killed the Fire Man a lot, but we are still not tired and we want more. But unfortunately we can't kill them in more than 5 seconds. The Sistine Prayer will start again after 10 minutes from now.
Liyu and I ran downstairs and jumped from building to building, following Sei from below.
When we arrived, we barged in. And just as the three of us barged in, another group also barged in. From different sides in each group, we ambushed the enemy headquarters. But strange, there's nothing here. I looked towards Sei and asked.
"Is this really the place?",
"Yes. according to what you said. A huge fire in front of the wall that covered and protected the royal city.",
"There's nothing here? Is this really the place, Nakano?!" shiro asked while shouting at me,
"Yes! I should!".
It's weird. There's nothing here. This means.don't-don't... A trick?! Okay okay.. Calm yourself Nakano. There's Keiko there, she can definitely hold him off for a while.
"Is your theory of the Fire Demon having reason true?!" ask Shiro.
I smiled cynically.
"Heh. something interesting has happened here... We have to go back to the palace!",
"Why?!" ask Sanae, please,
"The Devil's Fire is there.".
Everyone was shocked and panicked.
"OK okay. I know you guys are freaking out but there's one strong man in there and plus the master of the universe and his wife. It means there are 3 strong people there. We can't panic, but we have to go back to the palace immediately. Devil— No, this Fire Lord we are after has common sense like a human with high intelligence.",
"Good!" answer them,
"Go, NOW!" I said firmly and then they all left immediately.
Everything became interesting, we had to go to the palace immediately. My theory is correct, this Fire Demon has reason. Do I have to call him the Fire Lord now?
The others ran back towards the palace. I can't take them teleporting all at once because it will drain my magic energy and again the capacity is also a little. Me, Liyu, and Sei teleported to the palace.
When we arrived, nothing happened there. What's the matter? Where is the Fire Devil?
I looked to the right and saw someone running in a hurry, it was Aunt Yo! He looks so panicked.
"Nakano! Did you see Sumiko?!",
"Eh? Isn't he in his room?",
"No! He's not there! hah.. hah." said Aunt Yo while panting trying to finish her sentence,
"He's... He's disappeared!".
"Did he leave something in his room?",
"No one.".
There ain't? Gawat, this problem is getting bigger. It should at least leave something even if it is just a small thing.
"Is there really nothing?",
"Yes. It's just.", though...",
"What?",
"House window is open.".
I am grateful for a little. Good, even if it's just a small thing but we know that Sumiko went out somewhere. This solves the opening problem.
Now it's time to think. Sumiko went out somewhere and the Fire Demon was not here. Is the Fireman horde just a coincidence or is GsK controlling them? I must know, is there someone from GsK who can control a horde of monsters? If yes, then he is a great man of course. Controlling these 20 thousand Firemen was not an easy matter.
Suddenly there was rain as a tangled sheet of paper. The paper soared to the ground in large numbers.
"What paper is this?" ask Sei.
I took the paper and read the inscription on the sheet that read like this:
Hey royal, especially you redhead. Princess Sumiko is in our hands. You'd better give up your Lord before this sweet daughter is wretched! Meet us at the Channel of Hell before sunrise. If not, I will kill this Princess and destroy the entire kingdom!
I felt angry while moving my teeth. After that, I smiled with trouble.
I thought this was GsK's plan. Now, what am I gonna do? What does God mean to them? And even if I knew, who was he really? The problem gets more complicated.
Liyu who read the piece of paper asked me the same thing.
"Who do they mean by God?".
I obviously don't know about this. Who do they want? Is it really not a serrated power? Sumiko said that they were after her because she was a user of serrated power, but when captured they took her hostage. Who do they really mean by God?! And do I really know him? This is just my opinion, I think what God meant by them was Uncle Inara.
What am I gonna do next, now? First of all I have to gather everyone, especially Shiro and Sanae. I need their information.
I heard the sound of steps stopping. I looked back and saw the group I left on the road. They're all panting.
"Nakano! Where's she?!" ask Shiro
"nothing. It was just a scam to distract us. The main problem is...",
"What's?".
Sana bowed to pick up the sheet that fell to the ground and read it. She was shocked and felt as furious as I just was.
"They...!!",
"...... Sanae, Shiro I need a lot of information from you. We should talk eye to eye.",
"B-well!" they both doubt.
They've never seen me that serious before. How else? My goal here is Sumiko, if she dies then my trip here is a waste of time and I don't want that. Anyway, I should be able to bring Sumiko back. Gskc.... What exactly do you mean?!
