Chapter 76 Let The Destruction Begin!
Upon witnessing this, they experienced a brief moment of dazedness, and it appeared as though time had come to a stop.
As it approached them, it seemed like they had accepted the grim reaper coming towards them to send them on their way.
But then something unexpected happened, the beam of light launched toward them actually missed!
Gorgon was flabbergasted with this, "Huh?" Then he looked towards where that attack was heading, and it was aimed at Tranquil City.
\'BOOOOM\' \'BOoom\' \'BoOm\' The beam of light came to rest upon the center of the city; it echoed throughout the surroundings, and another loud \'BOOM\' sounded that finally destroyed half of the city.
The city was destroyed just like that, engulfed in flame, and if you look closely, all the people living there have been turned to dust.
A large crater appeared in the ground, and half of the city was destroyed!
Gorgon, who was beside George, could not help but ask, "UHhh, George, did we get any reinforcement or something? What the f*ck just happened?! Can you tell me what\'s going on?"
George, who was in a trance-like state, came back to his senses and said, "My Lord, I have no idea whatsoever."
"What is going on? I did not plan on causing this much destruction, and I was only aiming for that kid, Zenryx. This is bad; this might complicate our homeland too." Gorgon muttered.
"WHO DID IT? COME OUT!" Gorgon screamed.
But then what followed after that was a bunch of ships arriving in Tranquil City with strong auras of a mage and swordsman\'s among those ships.
The Duke family\'s army has finally arrived!
Zen has also come on his Tier S ship, accompanied by Marie, Ian, and a bunch of guards that came from his villa.
Gorgon and his group were now surrounded.
The duke\'s armies were trying to figure out why and how Tranquil City was destroyed. They all looked at Gorgon and his groups, who were all silent, not knowing what just happened.
The Duragny family was unable to come since their territory was situated all the way to the north of the continent which is the opposite side of the Raverdieu\'s.
And they knew that the other families should be enough to apprehend the outsiders.
Zen stepped out of his ship, got on top of it, and spoke with an angry tone in his voice, "How dare you cause trouble, and destroy the very city I lived in?" With a grieving expression, he continued to say, "Do you realize how many innocent lives you have just taken?"
"Why would you do this? There were innocent children among those that were in the city; you are really ruthless. How could you do such a thing!"
Gorgon did not know how to respond, and his anger about his son being killed by Zen disappeared suddenly.
"Why!?" Zen questioned him as he looked at Gorgon with a saddened face, but in his heart, he was laughing. "See how I will avenge those that have died. I will destroy your homeland also to make you feel what I am feeling right now after losing so many lives in the city I lived in."
"Do you know how hard my heart is aching right now?"
Gorgon finally spoke, "You-," but then he suddenly realized something. "Youu...you were the one who did this!"
Without letting him speak anymore, Zen instructed Ian and Marie to apprehend them all.
After hearing Zen\'s words, the duke family armies also started moving to apprehend and kill the remaining troops of Gorgon.
It seemed that they had come to the conclusion that Gorgon was the one who destroyed the city.
"Alas, it seems that the Land of Dragons will suffer some retribution because of this." A Royal Swordsman from the Crellon family stated.
Another one from the Doomthorne royal family said, "It seems so; why would they even cause trouble in the Raverdieu territory."
"It seems they do not know the terror of the Raverdieus."
Although they did not know what caused this group of dragon lineage people to attack Tranquil City, they just thought that it was suicide to be playing around with the Raverdieu\'s.
"It looks like the Land of Dragons will disappear from the world."
A Magister from the Mevouires family was in a dark corner of a large ship talking to someone respectfully. "Young lady, I suggest we act like we will help the Raverdieus destroy the Land of Dragons. That way, we could use this chance to also take a piece of the land and resources."
The young lady the Magister was talking to responded with a gentle voice, "Do you think they will agree? We also have no reason to attack the Land of Dragons, if other continents heard that we were grouping together to attack them, what do you think they would do?"
"They will think that we are bullying people, and they might group together to attack the Astre continent. As for the Raverdieus, they have all the reason to attack the Land of Dragons, seeing how much those dragon lineage people cause so much trouble in the territory of the Raverdieus."
The Magister beside her nodded and thought that it was reasonable.
\'Why does it feel like all this was planned?\' The young lady contemplated, then thought of Gorgon\'s last words earlier, saying Zen did all of it.
She then glanced at Zen, who was leaving the vicinity with Marie, Ian, and his guards.
Zen felt like someone was staring at him, so he turned his head to see if his intuition was correct, and then he saw a girl staring at him in the distance inside a ship.
He waved at her and smiled before entering his ship. Marie, Ian, and the guards followed him back to his villa.
His villa was safe from the attack that destroyed half of the Tranquil City since his villa was located at the far end of the city.
Once they arrived back, Ian was in deep thought: \'It seems the young master is a bit of a scheme, eh...\'
As they were walking back inside the villa, Zen asked, "Ian, what do you think about being my follower?"
Ian was taken back. "What do you mean, young master? I am already part of the Raverdieu family."
"Not that, be my personal follower, I am planning to create my own organization in the future; I need someone to manage it when I am busy and stuff, you know?."
"You too, Marie, think about it. You guys can go back. I\'ll have instructions for you later, Marie." Zen concluded his words and returned back inside his villa to plan his next move.
\'If I can pull Marie and Ian together, I\'ll have more foundation I can use to start my organization. There is also that Emperator from the Outlander continent I can use.\'
\'I guess I\'ll be late for the start of the academy.\' Zen though as an evil grin appeared on his face.
