"With this robe, I made myself invincible as I watched the whole thing. You could confirm from Leam Empire as letters has been sent already of my whereabouts in these kingdom to ensure my safety and as further prove of my identity.",

At this time Scriven mention this. Hero was matching with his cart on a days journey to leam with the letter from the prince. The prince pointing his hand at the Vermilion.

"Vermilion is not the man you think he is. He is the master minder behind the whole incident, and murders. He manipulated my father and prince Duran to cause war. He is the reason why the imperial iron army is so strong and invading this country and furthermore he has created a magic circle around this arena to resurrect a demon lord that will awaken Dracula and also he his a vampire.

"What? The crowd begins to panic

Thaddeus points his spear at Vermilion

, "I was approached by some integrity knight with reports about this matter however there was no prove to back their claims. I never trusted You vermillion but prince Darius to murder my king and framing the princess."

“guards, arrest Vermillion and the prince" I will personally check the magic memory of prince Albert for more confirmation.

"Hahahahahaha! There is no need for that." Vermilion speaks with a ferocious stare. It’s too late, indeed, I helped the princes with their greed and murders is inevitable just as your kings and noble men destroyed my country and killed my father. I killed the kings and from the ashes of this kingdom. I will rise a new kingdom of the night and it’s a pity that none of you will live to see it" Vermilion slams the floor with his palm while enchanting a magic spell.

"Sesimus nomitmus erus erus"

The magic circle underground the arena glows red as red electric lightning begins to spark from the ground. The ground shook violently. The cloud instantly behind to turn dark with patches of red lightning. A dark smoke began to erupt bursting through the arena to the cloud. Everyone started to run for their life. A gigantic dark cloud accompanied by hurricane magic forming from the cloud as it pass through the arena breaking the ground to the magic circle on the floor. The crowd runs trying to escape. Bumi and prince Scriven ran for shelter while Felicia falls into the hole at the arena as it collapse further into the magic circle underneath.

The sky dotted dark red with a hurricane tornado surrounded with patches of lightening.

Arslan took the opportunity as he picks his sword and aim at the guard freeing his friends..

"I knew I wanted to be king but I never planned on killing my people. A king without his people is no king" prince Darius stood up gathering all his strength and he slams his hands together. His hand brings barrier shelter covering everyone in the crowd. Suddenly a sword was dug through his heart. The prince turns his head and he sees Vermilion strike his blade from his back through his heart out of his chest. The prince pours out blood from his mouth as he falls from the tall story arena walls down the large hole at the arena to the ground.

Thaddeus leapt into the air as he swings his spear at Vermilion “basstard, Thaddeus grunted his teeth

"Hahahahaha" i am the greatest villain" He Chuckles as they both cross swinging their blade striking at each other. From the dark, a blade swings with lightning into the air aim at slicing off Vermilion neck, however vermilion escapes by ducking down. Arslan and Thaddeus team up as they both swing their blade at the laughing Vermilion however he easily takes them on as he swings in defense left and right at the duo while laughing.

Thaddeus release his magic as dark erosive substances begins to form aiming at Vermilion however vermillion bolted in close gap at Thaddeus as he held his neck and his fang almost tasting the soft flesh of thaddeus when Arslans jumps in swinging his sword. The giant hurricane suddenly disappear as a gigantic DEMONIC head appearing from the whole in the arena. The head has six purple eyes in his face and one huge red eye open in the center of his head. The demon opens his mouth with large fangs. A deafening sound roars across the arena.

Rooooooooar!

Princess Felicia wakes up from the floor coughing from the debris and dust on her. She roams her eyes. She fell from a top floor down a stone floor. The hall is massive with pillars about it with voices of men enchanting magic covered in red light. She sees prince Darius gravely injured walking towards her with a sword in his hands. His eyes grew blurring as he staggers to his feet. He falls to the ground.

“What happened? Last thing I remember I was sited in the arena with the battle going on and suddenly the arena ground tore open, and I fell along with some people. Darius, apparently he fell from the arena as well. Close to the magic circle. The prince picks the sword as he walks to where princess Felicia is seated, and he lifts the sword above his head. Please, Felicia' eyes widen.

She tries to jump back dodging, but swiftly the prince swings his sword aiming for her. It came crashing down breaking the chains from Felicia 'hands and feet, and he speaks.

“I know I am in no position to say this now, but I am a sorry sister. This is not what I envisioned for the kingdom. I was deceived by the magician and the anti-royalist. Please save our people, save our kingdom. You were the heroic the prophecy spoke about, and I was the prince who killed his father.” He falls to the ground and Felicia quickly helps him. He was covered in blood with a long rod pierced through his back to his chest.

The portal to the dark glows brightly with the red lightning magic circle. Blackish humanoid demons of human size begin to walk out with bat wings on their back from the magic circle. Most of them had purple pairs of eyes. They leaped into the air with their black wings. They smell blood as they set their gaze at princess Felicia and the blood of Darius. They flew in hundreds towards her.
