Chapter 7: Chap 7
The next morning, Kai woke up feeling refreshed after a peaceful night's sleep. He walked out of his room and headed straight to the Duke's dining room. When he arrived, he found a table full of delicious food waiting for him. The servants had prepared a thoughtful breakfast for him and Alovenos. Kai sat down and began to enjoy his meal, feeling lighter after the stressful events that had just occurred.
Kai looked up as the duke entered the room, looking tired, his eyes filled with worry and concern. The duke looked at Kai and sat down on the chair opposite.
The duke: "Kai, I can't stop thinking about what happened. Sir Gareth's sacrifice and the state of Alovenos have me very worried."
Kai put down his glass of water and looked at the duke with sympathy.
Kai: "Sir, we have overcome a great challenge and defeated the enemy. Although the loss is heartbreaking, we must continue to move forward. Sir Gareth sacrificed for a noble cause, and we must continue to fight for it."
The duke nodded, his heart filled with thought.
Duke: "That's right, Kai. Even though we defeated Terumi, the real mastermind has yet to be dealt with.
Kai: "Schzwerti... He's the real mastermind. We guessed wrong, but now it's clear. Schzwerti is the one behind all this conspiracy."
Duke:"schzwerti is noble"
Kai: "Is Schzwerti a noble? That would explain how he was able to carry out this heinous plot without being discovered."
The Duke: "This complicates the situation even more. The presence of a traitor within the ranks of the nobility is a serious threat. We cannot let him continue to act without punishment."
Kai felt his determination grow stronger.
Kai: "We must hunt down Schzwerti and bring him to light. Everyone needs to know the truth about him and the dark plot he is carrying out."
The Duke: "I will mobilize all our resources to track him down. We will not let anyone escape the punishment he deserves."
The Duke walked to the safe, opened the door, and took out a sparkling magic gun. He carefully placed the gun on the table and looked at Kai with a serious gaze.
The Duke: "Kai, this is an extremely rare and powerful magic gun. It is made from precious materials and is imbued with power from the most talented magicians in the kingdom. With this gun, you will be able to face any enemy, including Schzwerti."
Kai took the gun, feeling the strength and power radiating from it. He knew that this was an important weapon that would help him complete his mission.
Kai: "Thank you, Duke. I will use this gun carefully and properly to destroy Schzwerti and protect the kingdom
The Duke looked at Kai with a worried and serious gaze.
The Duke: "Kai, this mission to hunt down Schzwerti will not have Alovenos' participation. She has not yet regained consciousness after the battle and needs time to recover. You will have to face the enemy yourself."
Kai nodded, understanding that Alovenos' current condition did not allow her to participate in the mission.
Kai: "I understand, Your Excellency. I will do my best to complete the mission and eliminate Schzwerti. I hope Alovenos will recover soon and we can fight together again."
The Duke: "Tonight, Schzwerti will hold a grand banquet. This is a good opportunity for us to sneak in and assassinate him. I will send someone to assist you in this mission."
Kai nodded, knowing that this was an important opportunity to destroy the enemy.
Kai: "I will prepare myself. With the support of you and the others, we will succeed."
The Duke placed his hand on Kai's shoulder, his eyes filled with trust.
The Duke: "Be careful, Kai. This mission is very dangerous, but I believe you can do it.
He held a mask and gave it to Kai, his eyes serious.
The Duke: "Kai, this is a special mask. It will help you hide your identity and protect you during the mission. Wear it when necessary."
Kai took the mask, feeling its importance. He nodded, thanking the Duke.
Kai: "Thank you, Duke. I will use this mask carefully."
The Duke led Kai outside, where a carriage had been prepared so that he could easily move and escape from dangerous situations.
The Duke: "This carriage has been prepared. You will be able to move quickly and safely. Be careful, Kai."
Kai stepped into the carriage, feeling his heart filled with determination and readiness for the mission ahead. He knew that with the Duke's support and the protective mask, he would be able to face any difficulties and complete the mission.
Kai: "I will not let you down, Duke. Wait for good news from me."
With those final words, Kai started the car and set off on a journey to hunt down his enemy, determined to bring Schzwerti to justice.
That night, Kai wore the special mask that the duke had given him. He moved silently in the dark and approached the entrance to the Schzwerti party. However, as he approached the gate, he was stopped by the guards.
Guard: "Stop! Who are you? This is a restricted area, no one is allowed to enter without proper identification."
Kai tried to stay calm and did everything he could to keep his identity secret. He remembered the duke's instructions and knew that he needed to remain discreet.
Kai: "I was invited to the party. Here is my invitation."
Kai showed the duke the fake invitation that he had prepared. The guards checked the invitation and after a while of discussion, they allowed him to enter.
Guard: "Okay, you can enter. But remember, don't cause any disturbances during the party."
Kai quietly entered the party, finding a secluded corner to sit and wait until the party officially began. He observed his surroundings, taking in every detail and trying not to be recognized.
The surroundings were very luxurious, with sparkling lights and meticulously arranged tables. The noble guests gradually appeared, chatting and laughing happily. Kai kept his appearance calm, but in his heart he was carefully planning tonight's mission.
Kai was surprised when a young, beautiful and charming girl suddenly walked over and sat down next to him. The girl smiled gently, creating a comfortable and friendly feeling.
The girl: "Hello, are you a new guest? I'm Elise, nice to meet you."
Kai tried to stay calm and not reveal his true identity. He responded with a smile and a calm voice.
Kai: "Hello Elise, I'm a guest attending the party. Nice to meet you."
Elise looked at Kai with a curious but not too inquisitive look, as if wanting to learn more about him without putting pressure on him.
Elise: "This party is so splendid, isn't it? I always enjoy attending events like this, it helps me forget about my daily worries."
Kai: "My name is Zephyr. Do you know what this party is for?"
Elise looked at Kai for a moment and then smiled gently.
Elise: "Nice to meet you, Zephyr. Actually, I don't know the main purpose of this party. I heard that Schzwerti held it to celebrate some important event. But I don't think it's that simple. Maybe he has another purpose."
Kai nodded, feeling Elise's sincerity. He knew that she was probably just a guest who accidentally got caught up in this event.
Kai (thinking to himself): "Schzwerti is really hiding something. I have to continue to be careful and find a way to approach him."
Kai looked around and noticed that there were many guards everywhere in the party. He turned to Elise with a puzzled expression.
Kai: "Elise, why are there so many guards? Is there something special going on?"
Elise looked around and shook her head, her voice also showing surprise.
Elise: "I don't know either, Zephyr. Usually Schzwerti parties don't have this many guards. Maybe he's worried about something or wants to ensure maximum security. This is strange."
Kai nodded, feeling the suspicion
Suddenly, all the lights in the room went out, shrouding the space in darkness. Kai felt the tension rising in the atmosphere. Elise turned to him and whispered in a nervous voice.
Elise: "The party has begun. It seems Schzwerti is about to appear." Suddenly, the light from the chandelier began to flash again, illuminating the entire magnificent banquet hall. Schzwerti appeared on the stage, his face smug and authoritative. The distinguished guests all turned to him, showing respect and admiration.
Schzwerti: "Welcome to this special party. Today we celebrate an important milestone together." Everyone around applauded enthusiastically as Schzwerti finished his welcome. The atmosphere became lively with the applause and laughter of the guests. Kai remained calm, his eyes never leaving the target, Schzwerti.
Schzwerti: "Thank you all for coming. Today we are not only celebrating, but also entering a new phase. We will be stronger and more stable." Schzwerti raised his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet. He smiled smugly and continued speaking.
Schzwerti: "On this occasion, I would like to introduce to you a new machine that I have just created. This is an extremely special and advanced invention."
Everyone around was interested and curious. Whispers echoed throughout the room as everyone turned to Schzwerti.
Schzwerti: "This machine is capable of doing things that we could only dream of before. It will change the way we live and work forever. Let's admire the magic of technology!"
Schzwerti's henchman brought out a giant machine, everyone in the audience gasped in surprise and curiosity. The machine looked very modern with its shiny parts and intricate operations. The bright lights from the machine's parts reflected light throughout the room, creating an impressive scene.
Schzwerti: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the machine I was talking about. With advanced technology and unparalleled power, this machine will change our lives." Schzwerti continued his speech with a smug look on his face.
Schzwerti: "This machine is capable of producing an infinite amount of diamonds and precious stones. With the advanced technology I have developed, we will never have to worry about this precious resource again."
Everyone in the audience gasped in surprise and excitement.
The chatter grew louder as the distinguished guests began to discuss the benefits the machine could bring. Schzwerti: "However, if you want this machine and all that it can bring, you must elect me as king in the next election. Only then can I ensure the effective use of this technology and the greatest benefit to all of us."
Everyone in the audience objected in unison, the noise rising incessantly. They knew full well that Schzwerti was a playboy, lazy, and irresponsible.
Guest 1: "We will not vote for someone like you! Schzwerti, you are all about playing and not caring about the good of the kingdom."
Guest 2: "No one believes you can do this! This is just a scam to gain power."
Schzwerti tried to keep his face calm, but his eyes flashed with anger.
Schzwerti tried to keep his face calm, but his eyes flashed with anger. He stepped down from the stage and signaled for the guards to come forward to control the crowd.
Schzwerti: "Calm down! You don't understand the full potential of this machine. It will bring prosperity and wealth not only to me but to this entire kingdom."
However, the crowd continued to protest and the booing grew louder. Kai took this opportunity to get closer to Schzwerti. He knew that this was the crucial moment to act.
While everyone was paying attention to the chaos, Kai quietly sneaked through the crowd and headed towards the stage. He saw Schzwerti trying to calm everyone down, but his eyes couldn't hide his anxiety and frustration.
Kai (thinking to himself): "This is a good opportunity to get close to him. I have to act quickly and accurately."
Kai walked up to the stage with composure and determination. He approached Schzwerti and lowered his voice:
Kai: "Schzwerti, I know you're hiding something. Stop right now before things get worse."
Schzwerti turned to look at Kai with a shocked look.
Schzwerti: "Who are you? How dare you come here?"
Kai looked straight into Schzwerti's eyes and said firmly:
Kai: "I'm here to bring you to justice. You've committed many crimes and can't continue to deceive people."
Schzwerti was angry and signaled for the bodyguards to attack Kai. However, Kai was ready for this situation. He quickly avoided the bodyguards' blows and counterattacked effectively.
An assassin with a giant scythe jumped down from the upper floor with the intention of attacking him. With quick reflexes, Kai rolled to the side to avoid the attack.
The assassin did not stop but continued to charge forward with powerful slashes.
Kai dodged to the side with a quick movement and pulled out his gun, aiming straight at the assassin. He knew that timing was of the essence in this situation. With a precise shot, the bullet flew towards the assassin.
Kai was surprised to see the assassin quickly catch the bullet before it could cause any harm. The assassin's eyes flashed dangerously and he continued to advance towards Kai with greater determination.
Assassin: "You won't get past me easily, Kai. I will prove my strength."
The assassin suddenly stopped, his eyes hardened and asked:
Assassin: "What is your name?"
Kai kept his composure, looked straight into the assassin's eyes and said in a determined voice:
Kai: "My name is Zephyr. And I am here to ensure that justice is served."
The assassin smiled sinisterly, his eyes full of challenge:
Assassin: "Real name."
Kai kept his gaze steady and decided not to hide it. He understood that sometimes sincerity can create unexpected moments.
Kai: "My real name is Kai. And I will not let a villain like you destroy this kingdom"
The assassin, now revealed, smiled sinisterly and replied:
Sakamoto: "My name is Sakamoto. You seem confident, Kai. But that's not enough to defeat me."
The fight became more intense as the two faced each other with determination and skill at their peak. Kai knew that he had to use everything he had learned to defeat Sakamoto.
Kai rushed forward with lightning speed, throwing a series of feints to distract Sakamoto. He tried to block but couldn't keep up with Kai's agility. Suddenly, Kai flipped backwards and delivered a powerful kick to Sakamoto's chest, knocking him to the floor.
Sakamoto tried to get up, but Kai quickly approached and placed his foot on his chest, keeping him still on the floor. Kai's eyes were determined and majestic.
Kai: "You lost, Sakamoto. Now tell me who hired you and their true purpose."
Sakamoto looked at kai and smiled
Kai felt something was wrong when Sakamoto suddenly said, "Connect to the grimoire [Deathbringer]." Immediately, a cold blue light began to emit from a mysterious book that appeared in Sakamoto's hand.
The blue light from the grimoire exploded, creating a powerful explosion that sent Kai flying. Kai hit the wall and fell to the floor, feeling pain spread throughout his body.
Kai struggled to stand up, his eyes never leaving Sakamoto. The assassin was also affected by the explosion and was trying to stand up. His eyes were filled with anger and determination.
Sakamoto: "You cannot stop me, Kai! The power of the grimoire [Deathbringer] will destroy everything.
