Rise Of The Dragon Emperor

Chapter 13 The wrath of the king



In the three days that the young Prince’s were unconscious , the entire kingdom of Avalon was shaken to its core .

The convenience of the royal women being in a sound insulated worship room . While the men chasing after bandits to be the exact time at which berserk flame lions showed up at the temple steps smelled like a ploy. But there was no obvious human collaborator , which made things a bit difficult.

However , with the entire nation having a clue about who the perpetrators were , the bureaucracy of the royal palace headed by prime minister Leif were out like hounds to find proof.

And to the misfortune of the Temple , that evidence was unearthed one after the other as every fail safe they had planned fell like dominoes .

Leif first deduced about how the sound insulated room was an extremely recent addition to the temple infrastructure , as if specially made for this event. Questioning the temple over its purpose.

When no historical relegious books suggested to use of a sound insulated room for any of the rituals , the temple came under heavy scrutiny and could muster up weak defense at best . The likes of which Leif absolutely obliterated through cross – questioning.

The second mistake came from a Phoenix clan elder , who muttered the words ‘ Lucky Bastard’ a bit too loudly when the news of Prince Percy being out of danger was made public.

Unfortunately for him , Leif picked up on that comment , as later that same day the elder was nabbed from his house , and brutally tortured into confession.

With him admitting the involvement of some of the phoenix clan members and the temple of the fire god. As a comprehensive report was given to Alexander about the situation.

For Alexander this was enough , he was not the best parent in any sense. Neither was he always around to spend time with family . He had a hard time displaying the emotions that he actually felt as even when he was extremely proud of the little accomplishments that his sons made , he would never admit to it..

However he was a family man who loved his children more than anything in the world , and was sure to make everyone who intended to cause them harm pay with their lives.

Agitated to the extreme , his black eyes were not seen in the three days that his sons were unconscious , as only a deep red was visible. The king looked more of a demon than a human after three days of no sleep , as only god knew how many emotions he suppressed inside him.

When the king finally smiled , it was when Leif told him about who were the perpetrators behind the incident.

The smile was akin to the smile of the grim reaper before he took someone’s soul , sending shivers down the spine of Leif .

At that moment Leif knew that rivers of blood were about to flow , as the king had finally lost his screws.

His level 136 aura completely unchecked , he almost choked Leif to death , as the killing intent inside it was almost insidious.

Wearing his golden armour and equipping his trusted sword ‘ Mewar ‘ , the king called upon the king’s guard , The royal troops entrusted with the security of the palace. The best of the best with their only fealty to the king of Avalon. As he marched out to give the conspirators their deserved deaths.

Barging into the temple , Alexander was greeted with the temple’s troops , their spears pointed towards him , as the head of the temple made his way to the front of the crowd.

The Head priest said ” My king , may i know to what do I owe the pleasure of your presence here today? and why are there a 1000 fine gentlemen standing with arms behind you? if i didn’t know better i would think you were attacking the temple of the fire god …. “.

At this point , the general of Alexander’s army, Sam , had enough , as he lashed out at the head priest.

Sam said ” ENOUGH OF THE BULLSHIT. TRYING TO KILL THE ROYAL PRINCE’S, HAVING A F***** MERCENARY REGIMENT BEHIND YOU TO GUARD YOUR F****** DOOR’S AND STILL HAVING THE GALL TO ASK WHY WE ARE HERE?

WE ARE HERE TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR THE SIN OF ATTACKING THE PRIDE’S OF AVALON”.

The head priest had his back soaked in sweat , he knew that their ploy had been exposed the moment news came that an elder of phoenix clan had been kidnapped and had spilled all beans , but he could absolutely never admit to his sins .

The head priest hence said ” BLASPHEMY , How dare you insult the servants of the flame god , may your soul burn in hell for this crime , i curse you , noone is more regretful about the young Prince’s being injured on temple grounds than me . Infact I pray here everyday for their health and recovery …. they slander me my king “.

Sam was loosing his mind , he was a simple minded warrior who could smell BS from a mile away , and the head priest was full of BS .

Sam hence said ” Alright , no more games “.

just as he was about to charge though , 3 level 120 mercenaries game infront of the head priest , alongside the newly crowned level 102 Chief of the phoenix clan , after Augustus denounced the family name.

The mercenaries were clearly a deterrent , as the chief slowly said ” Let’s not blow this out of proportion my king , this is but a misunderstanding , going to war over this will be madness …. “.

The tension was incredibly thick in the air , as the royal troops could feel the strong aura from the level 120 mercenaries. They were from the extremely influential group called 7 seas having 7 influential elders being over level 100.

The three here today were the number 2-3-4 of the organisation at levels 120-120-119 . Their incredible strength giving the royal soldiers behind Alexander second thoughts about engaging in the fight.

The phoenix clan was sure to have paid EXUBERANT PRICES to secure their help , even for a day and logic suggested that Alexander wait for these guys to go away , a month of maybe two months later and then enact his revenge.

This was actually what the phoenix clan and the temple wanted as well , just a bit of time to figure things out . As they did not expect Alexander to attack even after this , however contrary to their expectations Alexander said

” Madness ….. You hurt my kids , my bloodline , MY PRIDE , and talk about reason and madness… HAHAHAHAHAHA , DO I ALEXANDER DRACO , look someone easy to bully priest? With the three clowns infront of you , do you feel secure? Is that supposed to be threatening to me?

YOU PUSHED ME TO MADNESS PRIEST , THE PHOENIX CLAN pushed me to madness. Because touch my family , and not even AGNI himself can save you .

Since the phoenix clan takes soo much pride in their superior bloodline , let this Draco show you JUST HOW INFERIOR YOU ARE “.

Flames from all over the fire god’s temple started to flare up as it shot towards the sky , The red eyes of Alexander now bleeding as his pent up emotions exploded.

The three level 120 hired helpers immediately started chanting their own counter spells , As the others holding the spear charged towards the royal troops.

However the only one aware of what was about to happen was Sam , as he did not ask his troops to charge or even hold the line. sheer Panick in his voice he blatantly told them to ” RUN FOR YOUR LIVES MEN , RUN “

This sounded like a cowardly act , however it was not. Sam was not running from the hired mercenaries charging at them . He himself was a level 115 warrior and could decimate them if he wanted to , however he knew that he would die from the kings move should he be there.

Alexander looked like flame god himself as every hair on his body combusted into flames , even his eyebrows and his moustache , as his very pupils looked like balls of flame.

Alexander chanted ” OOO HOLY PHOENIX , THE CONSUMER OF ALL EVIL , COME FORTH AND PUNISH THOSE WHO HAVE WRONGED ME , AND MAKE THEM REALIZE THE TRUE MEANING OF FIRE “.

GRAND MOVE : WRATH OF THE PHOENIX!

The giant flames that had shot up towards the sky now combined to form a brilliant Phoenix , emmitting heat soo hot that stone started to melt on the temple walls.

It was the ultimate spell of the phoenix clan , recorded to be only used by the founder of the clan having the purest Phoenix blood against ‘ that’ entity in his legendary battle against him.

The three level 120 mercenaries countered with their own grand moves , as the phoenix clan leader also unleashed his own fire magic. However infront of the descending phoenix , none of that mattered as it gulped those attacks like they were nothing. Falling on the temple burning everything to a crisp.

There was no intense fighting , no struggle , as every single person present inside the temple except for Alexander burnt to their deaths in a fashion that not even their bones were left.

The glistening white marble temple , 30 feet tall was reduced to 2 foot of molten pillars as nothing but a flaming abyss was left of the place. A panting Alexander standing inside.

The royal guards looking in horror from distance as they realized how close to their deaths they were , covered in sweat from the intense heat that the temple grounds still radiated .

Closing his eyes as he took a breath , Alexander went back to looking like a normal human , as he weakly said ” Sam “

The general straightened up and rushed beside his king as he knelt down and said ” Yes my king “.

Alexander was silent for a long time , with his eyes closed as he faintly said ” The ones who are not here Sam . Find them and bury them , TODAY , you understand right? “.

” Yes my king ” Sam said.

” I understand…. “.

What followed was a public and brutal execution of all phoenix clan members and temple officials as the royal guards purged the city of every conspirator.

Rivers of blood were shed , as the incident shook Avalon to its core
