I AM AN ATHEIST

Declaration of War

" About Molu, Somehow he is miraculously recovered as if he was not injured at all, brother you should have seen how shocked Dr Violet was, then she took him somewhere ", Recalling the incident Chicken23 said.

When Xavier heard Chicken23, the first thought that came into in his mind was the food that they ate that day.

Is it because of that? Xavier doubted, he did not know if it was really because of food or not, but it could not be denied that it was related to it.

Thinking about food, he still remembered the two people who were talking about it during the ceremony, although he wanted to search for them, he did not have any slightest clue on their whereabouts nor he knew of their names.

" and what about your sister? Where is she? "

Xavier asked as soon as he remembered about her.

" She is fine, she went back to the home to finish some work" Chicken23 replied.

Then they began to talk some random things, after having good enough talk, finally, both of them decided to take rest.

At the same time, in the capital city Yuzu, where people usually strolled around the shops in the market, not a single soul could be seen.

The air of something impeding was spread everywhere as soldiers from the palace closed off the whole city, the shops were closed, the houses were sealed, everywhere in the streets, soldiers could be seen.

In the middle of the city, among the sea of soldiers, wearing a full set of armour while sitting on a horse, a man was passing by, behind him, a few soldiers followed while riding their horses.

At around a fountain, his horse stopped in front of another man who was standing not too far, then he glided down from his horse and approached this man.

As soon as they met, the facial expression of the man who was standing showed fear, nervousness could be clearly seen on his face, soon after a second while hesitating to open his mouth, he said: " Chief, we did not find them anywhere "

" What do you mean? , You useless thrash, don't give me that crap, search every corner of the city, make sure none one gets out "

The enraged chief general Wenton yelled out.

" Yes sir".

The man replied then every soldier around them dispersed everywhere into the city, every nook and crook of the city was being inspected.

Among them who were searching, at a certain corner of the city, two people were riding the horses through the streets, one of them was wearing a priest robe while the other was wearing a royal robe.

These two men were none other than prince Vincent and Razor, as they were moving forward.

" Neigh"

With a sudden Neigh, the horse of Xavier halted, then another neigh followed halting the horse of Razor in terrain which was surrounded by a group of houses.

" What happened? " the confused Razor asked.

Instead of replying, Vincent lifted his hand and indicated to keep silence.

"shoo"

Suddenly, an arrow pierced throw air and aimed at Vincent's head, but before it could even reach 2 centimetres closer to him, it halted in mid-air.

And when Vincent looked at the arrow, it dropped to the ground, his gaze drilled through all the houses and landed on the shooter.

The shooter was quite far away, but he still felt chills on his back, he did not delay to hid behind the wall in front of him.

Then Vincent closed his eyes, he took out his bow, and by inserting five arrows at a time, he launched them.

As soon as the arrows left, they had a white aura around them and they travelled in different before disappearing.

" Aaaaa"

" Aaaa"

" Aaaaaaa"

" Aaaaa"

Five painful cries sounded out from a certain distance.

Seeing his comrades being killed in a single strike, the leader of the operation did not hide anymore, he jumped in front of Razor and Vincent from the adjacent building.

" Attack"

Immediately He gave out his order, hearing his order every archer who was hiding in the dark behind the walls and in the rooms showed themselves then assaulted the duo with the arrows.

" Shield "

Vincent shouted, then avoiding one or two arrows, both Vincent and Razor hid behind their horses and used them as a meat shield for defending themselves from the incoming rain of arrows.

However, the horses were not statues, as soon as one arrow hit them, they panicked and yelled out in pain, they intended to run for their life.

Unfortunately, it was predicted by Vincent, so he held the leg of his house tightly making it to be unable to run.

Although the horse applied more force to try to flee, it's effort rendered as useless under absolute strength behind Vincent's grip.

Meanwhile, Razor was not successful in stopping the horse at all, as soon as arrow hit his horse, it moved to the side exposing Razor to the rain of arrows.

" Uncle"

Vincent called out in concern, but by this time a few arrows pierced through a few parts of Razor's body.

the next second, without any hesitation Vincent threw his horse which already died in front of Razor.

But Vincent knew that was not enough, so he ran in front of Razor, facing the multiple arrows with his body, he acted as a shield.

A white aura surrounded his body deflecting all the arrows that fell on him to the sides.

" Soldiers"

Vincent yelled as loudly possible.

" Did I hear wrong? I just heard prince's voice"

One of the soldiers who were patrolling a few metres away exclaimed out.

" Soldiers "

The sound was heard again, at the moment, the man beside him tackled on his head and said: " i***t, the prince is calling us, let's hurry up, he need help".

Then a group of soldiers moved towards Vincent as fast as possible, as they were about to reach Vincent, they saw everything, they saw how Vincent was holding himself against many arrows while also protecting the injured Razor.

Specifically, the young soldiers felt a kind of respect and reverence towards the prince. Prince Vincent was not just a priest, he was also one of the best warriors before he accepted priesthood, at the age of 20, he went to Guruschool and successfully came back after a year, then for next four years, he took part in many wars and won all of them except one.

No one knew what had happened later, without disclosing any information a potential candidate to become the next king accepted priesthood and became a priest.

Gradually as time passed, people forgot that he was not any normal priest, he was a priest whose hands were soaked with the blood of his enemies, who was once called as an undefeated warrior of the battlefield.

Now only the soldiers who worked with the prince remembered the great personage whom they did work for.

But they had no time to think about it, they knew they had to take care of these enemies first.

" Kill them, kill these bastards and save the prince "

The respective captains of the soldiers yelled as they neared Vincent and Razor.

The pack of soldiers led by a few, charged at the enemies, seeing the reinforcements, the man who was in front of Vincent and Razor yelled: " Withdraw ".

Taking his order, the archers stopped and ran in whatsoever the direction they can, no one could stop them since they were either on rooftops or inside the buildings and there was some amount of distance between Vincent and themselves.

Finally, the leader of the enemies was about to escape, he took a few steps before a white light passed through his front, this light came from Vincent's sword.

Pointing his sword at the enemy Vincent said: " Give up, you can not escape".

But it seemed that the man had no plan on giving up, and since he missed his chance, it took no time before he got surrounded by more than thousands of soldier.

However, he did not have a bit of fear on his face, he looked at Vincent then at the soldiers, then his eyes turned blue.

"Get back! get back!" Vincent yelled, but he was too late as the sweet fragrance spread everywhere.

"Sweet, what is this? It looks sweet" a soldier among them smelt something so sweet, it attracted him so much that he did not care what it was, immediately he took a bite of it and said " Yummy, so good, I want more", then he continued to give work for a tooth.

The situation was the same for everyone, they were chewing and enjoying the desserts in their mouth.

Even Vincent was the same, he was also got affected by it.

After some time...

" prince"

" prince get back to your sense "

" prince"

Hearing a familiar call, Vincent who was trying to bite the dessert which he was eating, grasped back his senses and found himself being held by chief general Wenton and a few soldiers, he looked around and found familiar scenes.

Then he shivered as soon as he found what most of them trying to do, they were trying to bite their own flesh.

Some were even going as far as taking a bite from other's skin, fortunately, he was not one of them, he was stopped right before he could go overboard.

Then he looked around for the blessed one who used his ability, but he could not find him at all.

" They escaped" Wenton informed after seeing Vincent search for the culprit.

Vincent nodded and turned towards the soldiers who were still under the effects of the ability of the blessed one and released his aura minimizing the effects and helped them to come to their senses.

"Uncle, what should we do? Should we search for them? or should we go back?"

Vincent asked Razor, who also came back to his sense.

The injured Razor looked at the soldiers, then at his nephew before saying out " Let's go ".

As soon as Razor decided, the street got cleared and every soldier headed towards the palace.

However, the houses and shops of the citizens remained shut.

As time passed, the restlessness in the heart of citizens increased, as never as this happened in the capital city before.

Somewhere in a small house, a child around five looked at his mother and asked: " Mommy, Mommy, I want to go out and play, how long do I have to stay at home?."

" No, you can't absolutely now " his mother refused his request.

Suddenly, he slammed opened the door which was shut for over ten hours and went out.

" Shinchan " The woman yelled as she also opened the door and followed after her child.

However when she took a step outside, she saw many people, they were all gathered and looking at something.

Finding shinchan among the crowd, she ran towards him and grabbed his ear with her hand.

" Aaaaa"

Due to the pain from the sudden pull from his ear, Shinchan cried out.

" Shinchan, let's go home " soon before she was about to pull him, her attention was grabbed by a silhouette.

He was riding a horse, and covered in armour from top to bottom, he had royal emblem drawn upon his chest.

Every of her neighbour was looking at him and expecting something from him.

" Citizens of Replica and Yuzu, I am here on behalf of his majesty Alfred's Royal decree, the king wants you to be thoroughly prepared"

" We are going on to start a full war with the kingdom of Gala".

The crowd began their discussion as soon as they heard war, a normal war was common, but a full war was not, two kingdoms would rarely go for full war unless they had no other choice or they were mad.

A full war does not only affect the soldiers but also the citizens from both the sides, some condemned the king's decision while some became happy.

Meanwhile, Xavier, who was unaware of all these things, fell asleep and by the time he woke up, he saw Molu and Dragon63 next to him.
