Am guessing you know her whereabouts? Eldren softly said to which troy nodded.

She's in the wastelands. That's where she plans to exact revenge. She's smart enough to use Lumia as a distraction so we'll come after her.

So what do you suggest now? You know we can't go after her according to the law. Boris frowned annoyed by the fact that he couldn't get his hands on her.

I'll go after her your majesty. It'll be and honour and my redemption task. Ona said her face already determined. She still felt guilty about all that happened and this was a perfect way to redeem herself.

No Lynn has gotten stronger than before she'll kill you within minutes. Eldren softly uttered staring out a window his hands behind his back.

So what do you suggest eldren? Do you have anyone in mind for the task? Turning the latter had a smile on his face making Boris frown a bit.

Infact I do.. that young man besides you in the safe spot. I can sense great power in him.

No.. troy immediately Saida frown forming on his face knowing who eldren referred to.

Look it's clear you have some animosity towards him but he's our best shot. The seconds we delay the stronger Lynn gets. Hearing eldren troy knew he had a point but he didn't want to accept it. I mean how could he? Kyle was his arch nemesis whom sought to kill him and know he was supposed to rescue his daughter? It felt too good to be true and troy didn't want to believe it.

I can't allow it. He's my enemy and all my enemies die by my sword not going to rescue the future ruler of the kingdom. Troy dejected dismissing the idea. His hatred for Kyle hadn't dwindled one bit and it was a bad idea to entrust him with the safety of his daughter.

Look here you old fart. I would be more mad than you if he was my enemy. But I'd be more smarter to put my faith in him if it means the safety of my daughter. Boris yelled garning the attention of everyone in the room. Ona was shuddering a bit seeing this situation unfold. Troy's hatred for Kyle was clear and it was obvious troy wanted Kyle dead.

Thinking about it Troy seemed to be in a dilemma weighing his options. He didn't have a lot of candidate to match with lynns power and to be honest Boris had a point. Kyle was able to go toe to toe with him in battle and even match his strength. Not to mention the Arsenal's of skills concealed by him and that ominous beast transformation skill Kyle possessed making him a monster.

I wondered what would've happened if Lynn didn't interfere. Troy inwardly thought. He had Kyle beaten on the brink of death but for some reason he didn't feel Kyle was on his last legs. It was just like the latter kept getting more stronger on the brink of death.

Fine... Troy finally uttered after giving it some deep thought. But on one condition.. it'll be a royal truce. If he succeeds and bring back both my daughters safely then I'll grant him full immunity and a royal pardon. Troy declared with authority to which no one interjected to.

But, if he fails then he's as good as dead. Troy spoke in a sinister tone his aura becoming dark making ona shudder a bit while Boris and eldren remained unfazed.

Now that's decided what do you say we go get the lucky champ huh? Eldren smiled breaking the ice already heading to the door.

What do you mean you darn elf? He's still in a coma! Boris yelled seeing eldren acting stranger than usual.

Not for long... Eldren smiled exiting the room along with Boris leaving ona and troy in the room.

I hope am making the right decision Darlene..

Back in the safe spot Kyle still layed on the bed his eyes closed and his body unmoving. A group of four guards could be seen stationed at the edges of the room each heavily armed.

[Time remaining: 5secs]

The atmosphere was a bit tense and the awkward silence in the room didn't help in easing the matter.

Hey Jamal I hear the king's finally woken up after two years!

Seriously? Now that means no more slacking around and booze. Another said with a bitter smile.

And not to mention the fact he was almost assassinated again if not for commander ona. The third chimed in.

Now that's some hardcore shit. To be honest I don't blame the slave with the way he treats everyone it wouldn't be a surprise if everyone wants to kill him. The last said causing the group to burst into laughter.

Why are we even here anyways.. we're royal guards we're meant to be protecting the kingdom not here guarding a lowlife peasant. He frowned staring at Kyle with disgust.

Hey what do you all say we have some fun. He smirked lifting his sting ray hand gun pulsing with electric currents at the tip. Why don't we shock the peasant and see if he'll wake up.

B-but didn't commander ona instruct no harm to befall him. The youngest among the pair spoke with a hint of fear in his words.

Come on we're just gonna have a little fun and besides we'll be doing her a big favor. Not seeing anything wrong they agreed as the handgun was then brought brought close to Kyle's face. An evil grin was planted on the guard lips bringing it closer to Kyle's head.

Shit.. the guard was caught off guard as Kyle's eye unexpectedly fluttered open. The guard couldn't react in time as Kyle's fist collided with his head.

Bam! A pop sound erupted as the guards head exploded to a pulo his body crashing to the floor with a thud. The remaining three guards were frozen in place witnessing their one killed so easily within the blink of an eye.

Shit.. o-i told you all this was a bad idea. The young guard shuddered a farmilier yellow liquid dripping down his pants.

H-he killed Jacob with one blow.. the guard closest to Kyle muttered with a blank expression. He imagined how strong Kyle was to have pulled such feet having just women from a coma.

Jack watch out! His colleague voice pulled him out from his trance as he could now see Kyle directly in his front. The latter's fist already sent out to his chest.

No.. he said in a low tone staring into Kyle's hollow dark eyes. He couldn't see any emotions in them only darkness as Kyle had a poker face.

Argh! Jack coughed up blood as Kyle's fist pierced through his chest armour protruding out the back. Using his leg Kyle kicked jack away an item could be seen clutched in his hand.

I-it's that jacks heart. Cash pointed his body trembling seeing Jack's beating heart in Kyle's grip. As if that wasn't enough torment Kyle then gave a lewd smile bringing the heart close to his mouth and taking some bites out from it.

Y-you sick monster.. I'll kill you you're fucking dead ya hear me. Cash shouted charging starlight for Kyle with his energy shotgun.

Bang bang bang. Cash didn't hesitate to fire off multiple shots to Kyle who just dodged by stepping to the sides. The latter had a demented grin on his face toying with cash as he simply avoided all his attacks.

Click click.. damn it not now. Cash cursed as he'd now run out of energy leaving him open to attack.

Bam. Kyle punched cash's guts jocking him up in the air a bit leaping he placed both his hands together slamming cash to the ground.

Boom! A small explosion occured as cash's body crashed hard to the floor creating a small crater. The room also shook slightly from the impact. Gently walking over Kyle looked at cash's beaten body with an indifferent expression.

Ar-gh! S-stay away from me you demon. Cash weakly uttered making Kyle pause.

Demon huh? I prefer demon lord. Kyle uttered in a hoarse voice shoving his hand into cash's throat. Retracting his hand Kyle pulled along cash's oesophagus.

C-cck.. cash choked as his own blood gushed out from the hole where his throat was meant to be. A shocked expression layed on his face as he bled to death in the most painful way possible.

Disgusted.. Kyle irritated tossed cash's throat to the floor wiping his hand on his chest. Looking round he scratched his head thinking about something.

Weird.. I thought there were four of them. Kyle wondered clearly recalling seeing four guards present in the room with him.

Shit.. am not cut out for this. With his advanced hearing he quickly traced the location of the last guard hiding under the bed. Pulling him out he held him upsidedown by the legs

Wait wait.. please I don't have anything to do with this a-am innocent. The guard yelled tears strolling down his eyes. Please i-i don't want to die.

I understand.. Kyle softly said dropping fin. Getting up there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He didn't know why Kyle had suddenly turned a good heart but he didn't care. He knew he couldn't beat Kyle and he wanted to live so he'd take any chance he got.

Please whatever you need I'll be happy to assist you. Anything at all you name it.

How do I get out of here? Kyle hastingly said. He couldn't seem to find a way out of this strange room no matter where he looked.

Oh.. it's easy. All you have to do is press this button and you'll be teleported outside. Fin gestured pointing at a red button on a rectangular black remote. Taking it Kyle then tapped fin's head causing the latter to flinch a bit.

You've done well young one I'll grant you a swift death. Fin couldn't react as Kyle forcefully twisted his head snapping it.
