Chapter 774 Surprise
-----
If she says that, she is probably not sure, but has noticed that everything is way too real, so she has the belief everything is real in her heart. And she's not wrong, it is!
However, revealing her that outright might be too crazy, and she might not even believe it, or think I'm mocking her, so I'll just leave it at that.
"And I believe you, I also think the sa!" I nodded. "I guess that's why I was so serious about defeating Thanatos before he can beco unsealed. So? Will you help out? You've got a whole guild to back us up too!"
"I do want to join into that plan, but first I need to see how far you can reach, and if you'll truly defeat the cultists within the rest of the week." She explained, crossing her arms. "But yes, if you fulfill these promises, you might get yourself the backing of the strongest guild in BNLO…! Though, we'll need even more Players. Unlike the people of Arcadia we Players can risk our lives because we can revive, even with penalties…"
"Indeed, I know you're influential, but I don't know if you'll be able to bring the attention of every player capable of helping us." I said. "For that, I was considering participating in the tournant that's coming next week."
"That tournant?!" Asked Camilla. "But… Wait, that makes sense, if you could beat everyone, maybe, just maybe, you could captivate the hearts of the other guild masters!"
"I-I an, I was thinking about doing so sort of bet with them. That they would help do a raid with their guilds if I won, and I lost, I could… I don't know, make any item they want? Or sothing."
"I see, I've read in the forums your items are getting popular, my hubby wants Ambil's ones, but you could also show him yours." She said.
"Yeah, I considered that too…" I nodded. "Your husband, huh? I thought you were asexual or sothing…"
"Ahahahah! It's a lie I usually give to everyone, so they stop annoying ." Said Camilla. "Luminous is soone that captivated and conquered my heart slowly. I can't believe I ended having a baby and all. Do you understand why I feel everything is so real? It sotis feels like… this world is where my life truly began."
"Camilla…" I couldn't help but agree a bit with that. I also felt like BNLO helped in tough tis and has sharpened my mind too. I've beco soone better thanks to this world.
"And, well, I guess that's that… This is embarrassing to talk about." She giggled, her crimson eyes shining brightly. "Huh?"
However, our talk was suddenly interrupted as she furrowed her eyebrows. She glanced at the King, who was surrounded by many people. Their son was nearby eating sweets with other kids.
But suddenly, so people that had been hiding appeared, wearing black cloaks, and slowly sneaking towards their child.
"Wha…?!"
They suddenly grabbed little Gustav and pointed a knife into his throat, the people nearby panicked as the King's attention was directed towards them.
At the sa ti, soone with a knife glowing with a bright purple aura started walking towards the King's back.
"Everyone, stand back! If you don't want your little prince to die!" Laughed one of the two black cloaked n in the scene, pointing his knife at Gustav's throat.
"Gustav!" Luminous cried. "L-Let go of my son!"
"Let go?" Laughed the n. "You bastards have been interrupting our research this entire ti! Don't you know how hard we've been working on this?! And now you call these disgusting non-humans and give them emblems for their rits?!"
"This Kingdom will fall, and it will begin today!" Laughed the second cultist. "Now, King, don't you dare give another step, or your son will die before you can even realize it!"
The atmosphere instantly beca incredibly tense, all while the cloaked man slowly continued walking towards the King's back.
Were they trying to attempt an assassination on the king by distracting him by threatening his son?!
They sure were sneaky!
"…" Camilla's eyes glowed with bright red light, her aura erupting with the force of soone that had already surpassed the Level 300 cap. She gritted her teeth, showing her sharp vampire fangs. "You…!"
FLAAASH!
"Give back my son!" The King scread, unsheathing his sword, trying to act brave, but he was afraid, he wasn't giving another step.
"Not another step, you bastard." The cultists smiled, his knife moving around. "I guess we'll have to cut his hand to show you we're serious!"
"Cut it." The second nodded.
"Uaaaghh! Daddyyyy!"
As Gustav scread in horror, a crimson blur appeared behind the two cultists as they laughed manically.
"[Blood Threads]"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Crimson threads erged out of their skin and wrapped around their bodies, pushing them away from Gustav at the sa ti as the two cultists panicked.
"Argh…!"
"What the…?!"
As they were pushed back, Camilla appeared behind them, her Blood Magic activating as two crimson spheres of energy surged from her hands.
"[Blood Spear]!"
The two cultists, in their panic, summoned dozens of magic circles, fireballs, icicle spears, and stone needles were about to massacre everyone.
"We'll take down everyone before you kill us!"
"DIEEE!"
As the Blood Spears pierced their bodies, the magic circles released their spells, countless explosions of elents spreading across the entire Banquet.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Everything was set ablaze, frozen, or destroyed… But the entire hall had yet to fall, indeed, it's because everything was covered by my roots.
And everyone else was also surrounded by Spiritual Barriers of my own creation. Thankfully, I responded the mont Camilla rushed to save her son.
"W-What happened?!"
"Ahhh… I'm alive?!"
"Your majesty!"
"Ugh…"
The King was fine too, protected by a barrier. His killer was caught by Mark's sword and was now a burning corpse cut into two halves.
"Mom!"
Gustav stared crying as he found himself trapped inside a bubble of blood magic, Camilla had acted before and protected him in ti.
"Gustav!"
She ran towards him after confirming their deaths, hugging her son tightly, and kissing his forehead.
I was happy everything ended as quickly as it begun but… Wow, everyone was left frozen.
For those nobles that doubted the King, now they should be sure the cultists are a real problem.
