Chapter 105 I Don't Negotiate With Strangers
"Yes, Jack killed my Innocent Sister."
Aaron and Protean once again looked at one another.
"Who told you this?" Aaron asked.
"The Leaders of the Beasts, Orcs, and Dwarves race."
"OK... How do you come to know those guys?"
"They came to visit my mother."
"And where is your mother?"
"At the end of the Flesh Eaters' Forest."
"Do they describe this Jack to you?"
"No, Emperor."
Aaron relaxed on his throne, staring at Levia;
"Your mother, where is she at the moment?"
"In the Black Castle."
Experience more content on empire
Aaron stood up, and moved his gaze on his lords, then settled it on Levia.
"Rise, Levia."
"Thank you, Emperor."
Levia stood up from the ground.
"I need to see your mother."
Aaron snapped his fingers, and the surrounding space changed.
Levia and the Lords looked around in surprise.
Levia stared at the black castle gate before her in awe, and turned her head Aaron and Protean.
"Let's go and meet your mother."
Aaron walked toward the gate, which instantly opened up.
Adeline stood in her room, staring at the group walking inside the castle.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She fixed her gaze on Aaron, who stopped some meters from the door, and looked up, staring straight at her.
Adeline smiled, and turned into smoke.
Aaron lowered his head to the door, seeing a beautiful woman with pale skin, red eyes, and in a black dress, appeared in front of it.
"It's an honor meeting you, Emperor Aaron?" She gave a small bow.
Aaron stared at her for some seconds, and activated the All Seeing Eyes.
{All Seeing Eyes.}

"Who would have thought the Vampire Queen will be trapped in such a place?"
Aaron asked, moving his gaze on the black castle. The whole castle was black, Literally.
"I think that's among the reasons the priests kept me here." Adeline said, and added:
"Please, come in."
"No, I'm not here to talk, I'm here to set you free."
"Oh? Emperor Aaron, A lot of people had tried, but no one can set me free... Mainly because, the Skull are the ones who created this prison... They're the main guys behind this issue."
"You know about the Skull?" Aaron was surprised.
"Yeah, what do you want to know about them?"
"Their kingdom."
"Oh? I know where their Kingdom is, but I don't think this is the right place to discuss this." Adeline said, moving her gaze on the lords.
"You have a point."
Aaron pointed a finger at the sky.... Moment next, a powerful beam shot out from it, collided with an invisible barrier... Before everyone's stunned gaze, it shattered into particles, disappearing from sight.
Aaron moved his gaze on the group, and opened his mouth.
"All of you should leave, Right now."
They nodded, and without hesitation, they vanished one at a time, Levia walked toward her mother.
"Come on, Mum... Let's go to the dark castle."
Adeline, who was still in shock, nodded absentmindedly, and followed her daughter, her gaze fixed on Aaron.

[Floating Palace.]
[Grand Hall.]
The five grand Priests who were discussing on how to attack the third Realm, suddenly held their chests, and...
Pifffff!!
They all threw up a mouthful of blood, then looked at one another in shock.
"It can't be!"
The first Priest yelled, and the next moment, he disappeared... The four looked at one another, and also disappeared from the hall.
_
POOCH!!!
The five appeared right in front of the Black castle....
They moved their gazes around, and a deep frown appeared on their faces.
"Who is so powerful that he/she or it could destroy the barrier?!" The third Priest asked.
"Adeline is gone, We must locate her!! She's the only one who knows the location about the Skull's kingdom, well... Apart from us!!" The second Priest said.
"Welcome."
The five turned around, seeing a young man with long red hair, and eyes, staring at them... This young man was sitting on a black throne; and behind him was another man, whose Realm shocked them all.
"A transcendent?!"
They were shocked... But what shocked them the most was a Transcendent standing behind this young man, who was the one sitting... This young man, whose Energy they couldn't detect.
"Who are you? And are you the one who destroyed the barrier?!" The first Priest asked with a slight frown.
The young man was silent, not uttering a single word.
"You! The first grand Priest asked a question, you should answer!!" The fifth Priest yelled in rage.
"Calm down, are you a fool, That man behind him is a Transcendent... And he's just a guard... Which means, this young man shouldn't be mess with."
The fourth Priest whispered, while the others nodded.
The first Priest folded both his hands, and said with a smile:
"I apologize for my colleague bad attitude... We are asking because the woman sealed here is very dangerous to our kingdoms, By freeing her, you'll be releasing an unknown danger to our home... So can you please hand her to us."
He said, staring at the young man.
The red hair young man who was in a red armor, moved his gaze on the five, and finally opened his mouth:
"I don't negotiate with Strangers."
The Priests frowned slightly, while the first Priest opened his mouth:
"I'm the first Priest, My name is Tibia. He's the second Priest, his name is; Calvin. She is the third Priest, her name is Malika. He's the fourth Priest, his name is; Orchard... And she's the fifth Priest, Her name is; Essie.... We are known as the grand Priests."
He introduced, as far as they know, these two people might be travelers, maybe from somewhere else... They stumbled in the black castle, and Adeline pleaded to them... Not knowing what to do, they destroyed the barrier, and released her... By acting all nice, they could show the two around, form a relationship, and maybe, they'll help them against this Aaron.
What a brilliant plan!
The First Priest stared at the young man, and asked:
"Now that we're no longer strangers, can you give us your names, and the woman's whereabouts?"
The red hair young man smiled, and slowly stood up...
"You want to know who I am?" He asked.
The five stared at him in silent.
"Show them who I'm."
The man behind the guy pulled out his sword, and swung it horizontally, sending a powerful red energy blade towards the grand Priests.
BOOM!!!
It collided on them, smoke raising into the air.... The man sheathed back his sword, staring at the smoke, which slowly dispersed, revealing...
"How dare you attack us?!!" The second Priest yelled in anger.
The red hair young man moved his gaze on the five Priests, who didn't even have a single stretch from the attack, and nodded in approval.
"Good, I only negotiate with powerful beings... I'm guessing in this word, you all are the strongest, am I right?"
The grand Priests looked at one another, and nodded at him.
"If you want to know my name, you have to survive one attack from me... Are you up for it?" He smirked at them.
The five were silent.
"Should we accept?"
"The attacked that man used was so powerful, I say we leave, or better... Attack them."
"Yes, If we show them our strength, they'll submit."
"I don't think that's wise... None of us know what realm this guy is on, So we don't know if we can win, or even take his attack head-on."
They were on a standstill. With no where else to do, they all turned to the first Priest, who sighed.
"We're the grand Priests, we shouldn't lower ourselves just because we need an ally... And besides, I heard there's a kid named Jack in the Academy, If we take him in, and personally train him, We'll have a powerful ally."
"Kara won't easily give him to us." Malika said.
"She doesn't have a choice." Tibia said with a slight frown.
"Then should we attack?" Essie asked in mild confusion.
The young man watched as the five Priests started channeling their Sid energies.
The man behind him was about to move, but he stopped him.
"Let them attack." He said with a grin.
The five Priests pointed their fingers at a point, and sent their Energies forward, creating a powerful energy ball
"The grand Priests aren't pushover, don't think because you have a Transcendent as a guard we'll back down... Letting you know, we're all Transcendent! So one, means nothing!! Release!!"
With Tibia's word, the grand Priests sent the energy ball towards the young man.
"You made the mistake of freeing that Woman... But don't worry, we'll find her, and lock her here again."
They grinned seeing the attack only two feet from the young man.
BAM!!!!!
"....…??!!!"
"Impossible!"
