312 When Dreams Become Reality Part 3

"I see… since you know nothing, you are worthless to me." I waved my hand causing a wind blade to form and fly through the room severing the head from the Norain king's body. "It seems your powerful backer is nowhere to be found even after I took your head."

"Master!" Iena suddenly appeared next to me. "There were no traces of magic left behind. It is like they were not using magic at all. I did however find a trace of a strange energy I have never seen before. But sadly, before I could figure out how to collect any of it, it dissipated."

"A strange energy?" I frowned. This might be the same strange energy that was powering the weapons I found. This would explain where the weapons came from if this was the case.

"Alright. Let's just take care of things here then…." I let out a sigh. I let the big fish get away because I thought he was locked in the dungeon. I would never have thought that he would be taken out of this dungeon from right out under my nose. I tapped the little blue slime that was sitting on my shoulder. "Adel, how are things on your end?"

"Well, after you created the massive wall, the soldiers cut off from the main squad troops all surrendered. We have a massive POW camp set up now and are guarding it. But Faith, can you tell me what the hell happened!? Why was the entire army on the other side of the wall dead as if they had committed suicide? Why is there a giant wall and barrier surrounding the boarder!? What are you doing!?"

"The soldiers killed themselves because I told them to. As for the wall, I put it up to keep the Prime Minister from escaping, but I failed. Right now, I am sitting in the Norain Kingdom's throne room,  on its throne, looking at the headless body of the Norian King. Iena is helping me round up all the nobles as I plan to purge all future threats to the Gravos kingdom and take the Norian Kingdom and its three vassal states under the Gravos Kingdom's banner." I answered. The other side went dead quiet. "Adel?"

"Faith…. Do you mean you have seized control of four different kingdoms at once?" Adel asked in an almost whisper.

"Mmm… Everyone must pay for their sins. Adel, I can not let these people live. The soldiers that invaded our homeland. The people behind the strike against my home village. The deaths of those who were close to me. How can they reincarnate if they are stuck with regrets? I will not allow it. I will find the Prime Minister, and I will use his blood as an offering to those who died so they can reincarnate into a new life without regret. So that they know that they have been avenged." I answered, but the cruel, sinister smile on my lips would not go away even though tears dripped from my eyes.

"Faith... Your ancient will…." Adel's voice of concern entered my ear, but I had no choice. I had to be cruel. I had to turn into evil this one time to rid the world of those who were worse than me. Just like when I cleaned up the nobles of the Gravos Kingdom, I will now do a new purge.

"It's fine…  I am still in control. But I need to use a bit of its power. A bit of its ability to allow me to stay composed as I become evil for a short while. Adel…. Please don't hate me…." I closed the connection there as I wiped my eyes. The skeletons had brought in over fifty people. They ranged from all ages. And they all looked up at me with a face filled with fear. I smiled coldly as I leaned over and looked down at them. "From this moment on, I will ask questions. If you are not guilty of any crimes, you will live, but if you are….. You will end up like your king."

The questioning and answering had begun. Those who were innocent were let go but had to sign a blood seal contract with me to never rebel. Those who were not innocent were beheaded. The throne room of the Norian Kingdom was filled with a lake of blood. The soldiers who were outside never once dared to move in to capture me. I had noticed most of them had even fled once I entered the throne room. It seemed they did not wish to lose their lives but sadly….. If they were not innocent, they still lost their lives.

Those who were on the battlefield that were still trapped by my grand falls were all forced into a blood seal contract as well and were now forced to follow all my orders. They were not the ones who attacked my kingdom at the start, so I decided not to kill them. But they were now only able to protect the populace as a form of police.

Once the Norian Kingdom was cleansed, I moved on to the other kingdoms. And only when all was said and done did I open a path from the Gravos Kingdom to the Norian Kingdom. This way, we could send a delegation to each kingdom and annex it under the Gravos banner.

A month later, I was standing in the throne room in front of the king of Gravos. He was sitting there staring at me with narrowed eyes. After a long moment of silence, he finally spoke up. "Since you annexed it, you keep the land for yourself. I don't want it."

"That is not how it works, Your Majesty! I was nothing more than a commander in this war. So I was just doing what I was ordered to do. So from this moment on, the land belongs to the Gravos Kingdom. More importantly, now that things have settled down, I do wish to talk to you about something much more important." With the war now over and clean up underway not only in Gravos but the newly annexed kingdoms, The king has been so busy that I could not talk to him about the Prime Minister and about this so called man and why he would have such a grudge against our kingdom.
