OMNI

THE FOUR KING'S INVASION

-What’s this?? He’s being a gentleman… Fu… I thought he will do something strange to me…!!!-

After realizing what she just said, the princess became beet red again.

“Y-you’re quite a gentleman… I didn’t expect that…”

 Fil smiled at her.

“I usually don’t do this…this is the first time I’ve been to this kind of situation, and I don’t know how should I act on this…but something in me tells that I don’t want anyone to see you looking like this apart from me…

Thankfully the mists from your last attack are still covering us. So, we have time to patch things up HAHA!”

Fionna turn her gaze away for a moment to hide her blushing face.

But… at the moment Fil stands up and offered his hand to Fionna to help her stand. The sky became darker and thick black clouds envelops the whole capital.

Later on, Screams were heard from the outside of the arena.

This makes the audience feel uneasy. The queen issues a command to the knights to check what is happening outside.

A few minutes later, one knight return carrying a terrible news.

“*Bow* your majesty… M-magic beasts!! There are an army of magic beasts at other side of the walls!! The other knights and adventurers who happen to be in the area are trying to defend the wall but there are too many… and there are all high tier beasts!!

And now my fellow knights are trying to slay one beast who manage to get in the city!!”

“What kind of magic beasts is it??”. Said the queen.

“I-It’s a Mega bear your majesty!!!”

The general voice out his worry.

“That’s impossible!! Mega bears are S-tier magic beasts and it is in their nature not to leave their nest so how come they are in here??”

“General, this could only mean that someone is controlling them”

With that, the queen told the audience about everything.

“My dear subjects!! I want you all to come down first and hear me out!!

At the moment, there are thousands of magic beasts outside the capital walls and some of them already manage to get inside, but fear not! The knights and adventurers are doing their best fend them off.

Now, I want you all to stay in here until the situation has been dealt with…

Are we clear???”

-Thankfully, almost all the people are in here, if not… there are probably so many casualties already!!-

The people heed the queen’s command and remain on their seats.

“I am temporary cancelling this tournament!! I want all the participants to help the knight in combat!! Especially the ones who manage to get in the semi-finals!!”

Then the queen asks the general to fetch off Fionna.

“General, can you come down there and check on Fionna. We can’t see them with all these mists covering the ring.

Bring the two of them to me, I’m pretty sure they will play a big part in overcoming this tragedy *smile*”

“*Bow* as you wish your majesty… but where are you going??”

“There are still a few people left outside, so I will gather a rescue team and bring them all in here.

And I will use my magic to put up a barrier”

“I’m worry about your health your majesty… but I know that you will not listen to me in this situation”

Hearing that made the queen lets out a laugh.

“You know me so well, little brother *smile*

Now go!!”

“Yes!!”

At the ring. Fionna and Fil is observing the situation.

“It seems that there are magic beasts trying to get in here…”

“W-what did you say?? Can you see them Fil??”

Fil turns around and looks at Fionna in the eyes before answering her.

“*Smile* It seems that we have a problem on our ha-“

Fil suddenly notice that Reg’s presence completely disappears.

-W-what? Did Reg get killed?? …it seems that I would need to go there to see it for myself-

“I’m sorry princess, something urgent comes up and I have to go… oh right! I will give you the victory in this duel HAHA!...”

“Wh-what did you say??! You clearly won!! I can’t accept this! My pride won’t let me!!”

Hearing that made Fil became more interested in the princess.

“You really are interesting *smile*, but if you’re undefeated record got slashed off during this situation. The people’s morale will be severely damage… so I want you to claim victory and give them hope like before…”

Fionna realizes her duty as the kingdom’s greatest protector after hearing that. But her armor has been shattered by Fil and her sword is in the verge of breaking also.

“I…I…”

“Huh?? I??”

“*Poker face* my armor is broken and you almost broke my sword, so compensate me for them…”

Fil can’t argue.

“Uh… hehe… that’s true, forgive me for that…”

He pulled out a silver-colored katana in his ⸢STORAGE⸥.

“Will this be okay as a replacement??”

Fionna hold the sword and test it.

“Hmmm… amazing! This one is a lot lighter than my “black meteor””

“I’m glad you like it, its name is…. If I’m not mistaken hmm… Ah! It’s “Silver Moon”!!”

““Silver Moon” huh??

“I got that sword in a frozen moon a couple of months ago, it seems like it is very compatible with Ice users, so I bet that you can wield it just fine *smile*”

Fionna looks at Fil and replied.

“I…I’m grateful for this *smile*”.

Fionna unconsciously touches Fil’s shoulder and upon realizing it, she blushes again and let go immediately.

“HAHA! Now, I’m going to take my leave”

“Ah wa….it…”

With a snap of his finger, Fil vanished.

Fionna seems to still want to asks something but didn’t manage to.

A few seconds after Fil vanishes, sire Gilbert arrives.

“Princess!! Where are you?? Are you alright??!!”

“I’m right here, uncle!!”

“Princess!! Fu…… her majesty wishes to see you.

There are magic beasts trying to invade the capital and we need you and misteeer…??

Where is he??? Do-do-don’t tell me you killed him with that last attack of yours???!!!”

The general is in a panic, if that were the case then they will lose a major card in the battle and he doesn’t know how to explain that to the queen.

But his worries were wash away when Fionna said.

“Calm down uncle, as you can see… I was beaten!! *Cheerful smile*”

“I see, you were beaten mm-hmm… wait what??!! Really??!! unbelievable!!!

And… princess, did he manage to destroy your armor??”

“Yes, he completely defeated me, seriously… that guy, even though he shattered my “black tortoise” …he said that I should claim the victory for the people *grin*”

“I see… So, where is he??? I don’t see him anywhere???”

“He said that he has some urgent business and just vanish in front of me… that guy is full of mysteries …sigh!”

“Hmmm… it can’t be help. Can you still fight princess??”

The general worriedly asks.

“Y…Yes! I still can, all the impact of his attack were absorbed by my armor so I didn’t suffer any fatal injuries… now that I notice it, I didn’t suffer any injuries at all!!! Seriously, that guy… so it turns out he was still holding back…”

Then the princess whispered:

“He’s so cool…*smile*”

“What did you say princess??”

“*Smile* it was nothing uncle haha…

Now, lead me to mother… no, let us go outside and start dealing with the beasts! Mother will understand”

The general seems to be hesitating but he cast that aside and follow Fionna.

When the remaining citizen manage to get inside the arena, the queen uses her magic to cast a strong barrier.

“⸢Frozen Aquarium⸥!!”

The barrier is tenfold sturdier than the barrier casted on the inside of the arena.

When Fionna saw this, she was worried for the queen.

-Mother rarely uses her magic because of her health… and to cast ⸢Frozen Aquarium⸥ this big, will toll a lot of mana… but knowing her, she will do this regardless of her health if it is to protect the people… sigh!-

“Uncle, let us take care of the S-tier beasts first!”

“Alright princess! I got your back”

Fionna has no time to fetch some clothes. Therefore, she wraps the blanket around her body and tied it in both ends to avoid hindering her movement.

-This should be fine now… but this sword with the usual shape is increasing my mana for no reason… it’s like it helping me-

“Silver Moon” is an abandon sword that Fil found in a completely frozen moon a few months ago. It seems that it freezes the whole moon as soon as it has been stabbed in it. Luckily, Fionna’s compatibility towards this sword is perfect. So, instead of freezing her, it is helping her recover instead.

With that, Fionna and sire Gilbert manage to s***h down a dozen of S-tier beasts in mere minutes. Reducing the threats of the magic beasts inside the capital. These feat boozes the knight’s morale as well as the adventurer’s. Making them to beat the other magic beasts more proficiently.

But being injured is inevitable. A few minutes since the invasion occurs. A hundred knights and adventurers were already wounded but luckily, no one has loss their life…yet.

In the arena, the queen gathers all the officials to gauge the situation. Fionna and sire Gilbert join them a moment after.

“Mother! We have return *bow*”

“Fionna! Are you alright?? How is the situation outside??”

“The situation has been stabilized for now, the magic beasts have temporally retreated because of the joint efforts of the knights and adventurers”

“I see… that’s a very good news then!”

And so, the queen asks the damage that they suffer.

Lady Veronica is the one who reports to the queen.

“Your majesty, a hundred knights and adventurer have been injured but luckily no one died.

In terms of property damage. I say that 1/5 of the capital has been destroyed by the magic beasts”

“In this situation, I can say that we still have the advantage and that damage is still redeemable…

Thank you for that report lady Veronica good work!”

“I do not deserve such kind words your majesty”

-Yoshaaa! Another good impression of me in front of the princess!-

Then sire Gilbert voice out his opinion and suspicion.

“Your majesty, if I were to predict this behavior of the magic beasts…

This is not normal, a majority of them solely leave in the deepest part of the forest of doom and never leave their nests! But they are here now bearing their fangs and claws in the capital…

And knowing the white lion, it’s not supposed to be like this. As the most powerful calamity beast, he is known to move alone and never take on minions with him”

“So, are you saying that this is not the work of the White lion??”.

The queen is also having her suspicion.

Then Fionna asks the queen something.

“Mother, remember what I’ve told you a few days ago??”

The queen looks at Fionna and think of something. But Jake suddenly collapses, making all them panic.

“Jake! Jake! Wake up! What just happen??”

The princess worriedly asks while holding lifting jake’s head.

The queen is also very worried for her beloved son’s condition, she immediately orders the knights to fetch a high healer available within the arena.

But then, a sudden voice took their attention.

[He will be fine, don’t worry]

When they turn around, they saw a red cat sitting in one of the VIP seats.

They have no time to be surprise in that time, so the queen and Fionna asks.

“What do you mean?? Can you cure him??”

Before answering them, the cat changes its form, or to be precise, she returns to her original form.

[My name is MINFI, and yes, I can temporally ease Jake’s suffering but I can’t cure him completely, only the young master can do that]

Then the queen replied with a question.

“Th-then where is this young master you speak of… fairy???”

[Sadly, he is not here now, but I can handle Jake at the moment.

For now, you just need to prepare yourself… they are here.]

An ominous feeling envelope the whole arena. This made all the knights and adventurers including the queen, Fionna, and sire gilbert to put their guard up and look for the source of that ominous mana.

When they look up, they saw four people looking down on them while wearing such evil smiles on their face.

“Greetings!! Luminous’ creations, we have return to take our revenge and shows you all absolute despair!!!”

The red king said that with a very evil tone.

Then the other three kings let out a laugh that echoes throughout the whole capital.

“And now!!! Our vendetta will begin!!! Fuhahahahahahaha!!!!”

[CHAPTER END.]
