"YOKOSO - WATASHI NO GRAVEYARD YE...."
A FAMILIAR FACE
NOT TO RAMAYUKI BUT TO CASORA
IT'S HIS UNCLE, NOT NELI BUT ANOTHER ONE
HIS NAME IS RYOZARTH
HE WAS SITTING ON THE CHAIR
HE'S THE ONE WHO ASKED RAKA
THAT IF HE WAS GOING TO TELL
RAMAYUKI THE HALF OF IT?
OR FULL OF IT???
THE ONE WHO WENT TO YASHURA TO TELL HIM
TO DO THE NECESSARY PREPARATIONS FOR OPENING A PORTAL BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT RAMAYUKI WILL COME THERE NEXT DAY TO SAVE UKO NO MATTER WHAT!
RAMAYUKI ASKED "WHAT IS THIS??"
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS???"
RYOZARTH REPLIED
"YOUR REWARD
FOR KILLING THE DEMON KING"
HE CONFUSINGLY ASKED "WHAT???"
"YOU MADE MY WORK EASY RAMAYUKI
THAT'S WHY I MADE YOURS EASY TOO
YOU CAME HERE TO KILL THEM RIGHT???
I DID IT FOR YOU
CONSIDER IT AS A GIFT FROM ME
YOU KILLED THE DEMON KING AFTER ALL"
"WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT ???
WHERE ARE THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN ???"
"OW, THEY???
THEY'RE IN THAT ROOM, SCARED"
RAMAYUKI RUSHED TO THE ROOM
AS HE SAW WOMEN AND KIDS ARE ALL THERE
AS HE WAS ABOUT TO UNTIE THEM
BUT RYOZARTH THREW HIS ASTRA
AN INSANELY LONG CURVED BLADE NAMED 'ODACHI'
WHICH MEANS DISASTER -
BUT RAMAYUKI DODGED THE DISASTER
AS HE UNDERSTOOD HE CAN'T FREE THEM
WITHOUT TAKING HIM FIRST
AS HE REMAINS CONFUSED
"WHY DID YOU DO IT???
AND WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH THEM???"
AS RAMAYUKI ALKS TOWARDS HIM FURIOUSLY
RYOZARTH DREW HIS SWORD TOWARDS HIM
ON THE WAY IT SLASHED RAMAYUKI'S KNEE
HE FELL ON HIS KNEES
AS HE THINKS -
"THIS MAN KILLED ALL OF THEM??
HOW ?? JUST HOW POWERFUL IS HE??
EVEN IF HE IS, KILLING A WHOLE CLAN AT ONCE
YOU NEED OVERWHELMING STRENGTH FOR THAT
ON TOP OF THAT - HE'S UNSCRATCHED
HE TOOK ALL OF THEM OUT
AND DIDN'T GET A SCRATCH??
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE???
AS FAR AS I KNOW
RAKA IS THE MOST POWERFUL FLAME USER
NO ONE CAN DEFEAT HIM
HOW DID HE??? WAIT
MAYBE HE'S HIDING ANOTHER ELEMENTAL SPIRIT
YES, THAT'S THE ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION"
"WHY ARE YOU DOING ALL THIS???
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT????"
WHAT I WANT IS AN ANSWER
"I'M CURIOUS -
YOU CAME HERE TO KILL THEM RIGHT??
NOW WHY DO YOU WANNA SAVE THEM???"
"I CAME HERE TO KILL THE MEN OF THE RAKA CLAN
FOR WHAT THEY DID TO UKO AND CASORA
WHICH ALSO INCLUDES YOU!
I HAD NO INTENTION OF HURTING
THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN !!"
"KILL THEM??? WEREN'T YOU ON A
JOURNEY OF REDEMPTION??
WHAT? ALREADY TIRED OF IT??"
"I TAKE A BREAK FROM IT TIME TO TIME
MEN LIKE YOU COMPELL ME TO DO SO"
CLOSING IN RYOZARTH CALMLY SAYS -
"CONVENIENT ENOUGH BUT TELL ME THIS
IF YOU CAME ALL THE WAY HERE TO
KILL THEM ALL WHY SPARE
THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN??"
"BECAUSE THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!
THEY'RE INNOCENT!! THEY DID NOTHING!!"
"EXACTLY!! THEY DID NOTHING!!
WHEN THE MEN OF THE RAKA CLAN
SENT OFF CASORA
INTO THE DOMAIN OF THOSE FILTHY DEMONS
THE WOMEN DID NOTHING BUT JUST WATCH
WHEN THE MEN OF THE RAKA CLAN TRIED TO
EXECUTE SHRIKAL'V WHO WAS
THEIR BROTHER IN ARMS
WITH WHOM THEY USED TO PLAY,EAT & SLEEP EVERYDAY"
"HOW IS IT FAIR THAT THOSE WHO DID THE DEED
ARE MORE GUILTY ENOUGH
TO RECEIVE A JUDGMENT
THAN THOSE WHO WATCHED THE DEED HAPPENING
AND PUT AN BLIND EYE ON IT
EVEN AFTER REALIZING THAT
WHATEVER WAS GOING ON WASN'T HUMANE"
RAMAYUKI DIDN'T HAVE THE ANSWER FOR THAT
"THEY'RE AS MUCH GUILTY
AS THE MEN OF RAKA CLAN
DON'T YOU THINK RAMAYUKI, I'M RIGHT??"
"IF THEY'RE, THEN WHY DIDN'T
YOU KILLED THEM AS WELL??"
"OW KILLING WOMEN & CHILDREN IS UNMANLY"
"SAYS THE THE ONE WHO WAS TALKING ABOUT KILLING THEM A MOMENT AGO! YOU'RE CONTRADICTING YOUR OWN SPEECHES!!!
SOUNDING LIKE A HYPOCRITE!!
WHAT DO YOU WANT?? MONEY? OR WEALTH??!!"
"OW DEAR, NOW YOU'VE OFFENDED ME"
AS HE CLOSES TOWARDS RAMAYUKI
PUTS HIS ODACHI' UNDER RAMAYUKI'S CHIN
AND ASKED -
"DO I LOOK LIKE SOMEONE WHO'LL DO DEEDS
FOR SOMETHING AS PETTY AS MONEY??
DO I LOOK THAT LOW CLASS TO YOU???
YOU THINK QUITE HIGHLY OF YOURSELF
DON'T YOU???
I HUMBLY REQUEST YOU TO TAKE IT BACK
RIGHT NOW
OR ELSE I'LL INCLUDE YOU TOO IN YOUR REWARD"
"IF IT'S NOT MONEY THEN
IT'S POWER, RIGHT??"
"NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT
POWER, POWER, POWER
WE HUMANS ARE HUNGRY FOR POWER
THE ONLY REASON THAT GOOD MEN EXIST
BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF POWER THEY POSSES
ONCE YOU GIVE THEM THE POWER YOU'LL SEE
HOW THEIR MORALITY GOES ON A RECESS "
RAMAYUKI LOOKS AT HIM ENIGMATICLY
AS IT TRIGGERA RYOZARTH HE GOES -
"WHAT?? MY REASON ISN'T CONVINCING ENOUGH???
WHAT'LL CONVINCE YOU??
A SAD CLICHE BACKSTORY???
WHERE I LOST SOMEONE DEAR TO ME
WHICH CHANGED ME AS A PERSON
I GO ON A REVENGE ON THE WORLD ARC ??
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING -
WHY IS IT ALWAYS NECESSARY TO HAVE A HEART WRENCHING BACKSTORY TO BECOME A VILLAIN??"
RAMAYUKI REMAINS SILENT
AS HE DOESN'T HAVE THE ANSWER FOR THIS EITHER
"SILENT AGAIN HUH??
I THOUGHT FOR SOMEONE
ON A JOURNEY OF REDEMPTION
YOU'LL BE QUIET PHILOSOPHICALLY INTELLECTUAL
PERHAPS I WAS WRONG ABOUT YOU
I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TO READ
MORE AND MORE BOOKS
ANYWAYS IT'S ABOUT TIME"
"TIME FOR WHAT??"
"THE DEMON PRINCE AKA
THE HE NEW DEMON KING - RANAKAA
HE'S ON THE WAY, HE'LL BE HERE
ANYTIME SOON TO TAKE THEM ALL
AT LAST THE TIME HAS COME
I'VE PLOTTED THIS FOR YEARS
KILLING THE DEMON KING BY YOUR HANDS
TO MAKE HIS SON THE NEXT KING
OFFERING HIM THE REMNANTS OF RAKA CLAN
AS A GIFT OF PACT
WHILE HE REIGN OVER ALL THE DEMON REALM
ACCORDING TO MY WILL
AFTER THAT USING ALL OF THEM
TO CONQUER THE ENTIRE CONTINENT
AND EVENTUALLY TO THE MYSTIC REALM
TO TAME ONE OF THE NINE LEVIATHAN
AND THEN ---- "
"THEN WHAT???"
"NOTHING SPECIAL
JUST WILL GO AN ADVENTURE
AN ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME
FASCINATING ISN'T IT???"
"YES, FASCINATING INDEED
IN A MOCKERY TONE HE SAYS -
BUT I APOLOGIZE MY SHADOW KING
THE DEMON KING IS STILL ALIVE"
AS RYOZARTH FROWNED UPON RAMAYUKI
ASKED CALMY - "WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
HE REPLIED WITH A SMIRK
"THIS 🤌 ALL OF THIS! MY PLAN!
ALL THE EFFORTS I GAVE INTO IT
YOU JUST DESTROYED !!! NO!!
DELAYED THE FULFILMENT OF MY DREAM"
"I COULD'VE BUT THE PORTAL WAS CLOSING SO
WE HAD TO MAKE A RUN FOR IT
AND NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT
WE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION"
"HYAAAAAA
RAMAYUKIIII
YOU RUINED IT ALL
NOW I HAVE TO RETHINK
AND REPLOT ALL OF IT"
"HOW ABOUT WE DO THIS ALREADY
I'M ITCHING TO KILL YOU"
"RECESS IS QUITE CONVENIENT, ISN'T IT??"
"BUT OUR BATTLE HAVE TO WAIT
WE HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM AHEAD OF US"
RYOOOOOOOOZAAAAARTTTHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
A LOUD SHOUT CAME FROM OUTSIDE
I'VE COME.....NOW GIVE ME THE PROMISED GOODS
I'MMA SAVOR ALL OR THEM IN A ROW!!
"YEP, HE'S HERE - LET'S GO"
"WHERE??"
"TO KILL HIM, LET'S GO
LET'S KILL HIM TOGETHER
HELP ME KILL HIM
I HELPED YOU KILLING THE RAKA CLAN"
"YOU MASSACRED AN ENTIRE CLAN
OF ELITE FIGHTERS
AND NOW YOU NEED MY HELP TO KIL
A MERE DEMON??"
"I'M JUST ASKING YOU TO RETURN
THE FAVOR YOU OWE ME
I AM HUMBLE ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO NOT BE OBLIGATED BY THE PERSON WHO YOU HATE THE MOST RIGHT NOW"
"OR YOU JUST WANT ME TO HELP YOU SO THAT
YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE
THE OTHER ELEMENTAL SPIRIT
YOU POSSESS AND KILL HIM WITH ONLY 'FLAMES
IN THAT WAY WE WON'T KNOW
ABOUT YOUR POWERS"
"YOUR DEDUCTION SKILLS ARE QUITE IMPRESSIVE
ALTHOUGH YOUR PHILOSOPHICAL INTELLIGENCE
NEEDS SOME SERIOUS WORK
I RECOMMEND YOU TO READ A LOT OF
BOOKS STARTING FROM 'THE BVS'"
"YOU BETRAYED THE GODS RYOZARTH"
"IF THE KING OF INFINITE ELEMENTS CAN POSSESS
ALL THE ELEMENTS WHILE BEING GOD'S FELICITATED
WHY DOES ME POSSESSING MORE THAN ONE
MAKES ME A BETRAYER?? THUS A SINNER???"
"THAT'S A MYTH!!
THE KING OF INFINITE ELEMENTS IS A MYTH !!!"
"MYTH IS A FORM OF
TRANSCENDENCE FROM REALITY
TO GO FURTHER BEYOND, A REFLECTION OF VERITY"
"LET'S GO TAKE HIM DOWN OUTSIDE
BEFORE HE MARCHES INSI-----"
AS RANAKKA BARGED INTO THE COUNTRYYARD
THE RAKA HOUSE IS IN FRONT OF A FOREST
BEFORE THE HOUSE THERE'S EMPTY BARREN LAND
THE NEAREST HOUSE IS 6 SANDMITES FROM HERE
AS OUR WARRIORS ALSO CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE
THEY TOOK THE STANCE AND READY TO FIGHT
NARRATOR -
A FIERCE BATTLE IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE
ONCE AGAIN!!! STAY TUNED FOR ACTION!!!
ON THE NEXT CHAPTER OF
KING OF INFINITE ELEMENTS!!
