Last Ruler Of The Empty Throne-Chapter 125: Seed of revenge
In the familiar broken conference room at the top of the tallest building,
There was silence.
It was so silent that one could hear their breathing; however, the people in this conference room didn’t bother about that and the reason it was so silent was they were all in their thoughts.
And their reasons were split.
For the legion leaders and regiment leaders, it was a mixed feeling of fear, confusion, shock, protection, and helplessness. Most of the people in this group were from the same university as Jon. That meant they had been there since what one could call, his ’Day 1’.
They had been there since he started, so why was he different? Jon especially had not spent a full month awake since the fall. He had slept for a total of over a week, so how was it like this and that wasn’t even including the 10 days he spent in the blacksmith and the other days he didn’t do anything.
’How was it possible to display that kind of power.’
Even the girls, who thought they could catch up stopped their delusion. There were levels to this kind of thing, and Jon was clearly at the top of that chain.
Then there was Luna.
She had always been curious about the strength of the leader, and now she had seen it, she didn’t know what to feel. She just felt weak.
Then there were the rest of the people in the conference room. Honestly, not seeing Jon in action for a while, some of them had begun having thoughts.
Since they were steadily growing in power, they felt they could overthrow the leaders, all they had to do was deal with the legion leaders and that was all. They had already forgotten about Jon’s position of strength. They had to admit he had the skills to be a leader, but now they had to admit something.
They were lucky and should be happy Jon wasn’t a dictator or a tyrant. They were all under his mercy and were like chickens before him.
Finally, as for Jon, it was the messages he was receiving from the system.
[YOUR FOUNDATION HAD BEEN RAISED]
[YOU HAVE MASSACRED OVER 2 MILLION LIVES]
[YOU HAVE MASSACRED OVER 5 MILLION LIVES]
[YOU HAVE MASSACRED OVER 10 MILLION LIVES]
[YOU HAVE MASSACRED OVER 20 MILLION LIVES]
[YOU HAVE MASSACRED 10, 679,008 LIVES: UNRANKED REALM]
[YOU HAVE MASSACRED 9,9458, 919 LIVES: FIRST REALM]
[YOU HAVE MASSACRED 10,678 LIVES: SECOND REALM]
The system then broke down his kills down by the numbers he killed in each realm. Then surprisingly, there was another,
[YOU HAVE 1 LIFE: THIRD REALM]
’Third realm?’ Jon’s eyes couldn’t help but showcase his shock. It was only a few days ago he was struggling with a second realm, however, he was now killing a third realm. However, he knew he currently couldn’t beat a third realm.
That attack was just a different animal.
Quickly, he scrolled through the millions of individuals’ remains to find the one from the third realm, and,
[YOU HAVE OBTAINED LEVEL 102 ’HIGH SHAMAN RECA’TH’ REMAINS]
’Level 102...’ Honestly that number sounded so futuristic. Then he briefly glanced up as if looking for someone, ’What level would she be,’ The thought of it made him lose the feeling of killing a third realm.
’It was probably an early third realm, besides that attack would have consumed me too if I used it here.’ After a brief calculation, he calmed his mind and looked at the next message,
[ADVANCE TO NEXT REALM TO ABSORB REMAINS]
That was another reason he couldn’t be too happy about it. As he had already said, the hardest of his requirements was most likely finding ’Sun’, and there was a high chance he couldn’t even fulfill the requirements, so there was no reason to be excited.
And there was a last notification,
[YOU HAVE MASSACRED A PORTION OF A POPULATION AND OBTAINED TITLE ’RUTHLESS MASSACRER’]
[RUTHLESS MASSACRER: WHEN FIGHTING A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE, ATTACK WILL DEAL 10% MORE DAMAGE.]
’Not bad.’ Just from this, his fighting with a larger number of people just became easier. While in his thoughts, Amelia’s voice reached him,
-There were probably many innocents among those you massacred.
It was like she already knew the result of his attack and Jon replied, ’I don’t care. That is the price for messing with me.’ While he didn’t tell her this if one of the girls had been killed or someone close to him, he would have entered the portal, forget coming back, he would kill them to their last man.
’Vengeful, huh?’ Amelia muttered, her voice fading with the wind.
Shaking off the thoughts, Jon opened his mouth to speak,
"We will try and console the families of the dead soldiers and take care of them indefinitely, and since we can’t give them a burial. Survivors who still want to see where their families died can go but not too close. The land has been cursed, so we need to start making preparations to move at any time."
"You mean that area is just going to keep expanding?" Cynthia asked.
"Yes." He sighed at the situation. He had tried using spirit to stop the curse, however it even accelerated the process.
"S-So, we should prepare to move, and that would be...Gordon’s bay." Victor uttered.
They were now reaching the end of the district, and the only thing demarcating this district from the next was Gordon’s Bay. But who knew how long it would take them to reach that bay? When Jon ran to take care of the herd of zombies, he didn’t even see the bay in sight, meaning it was still further away.
And that didn’t even begin to describe how they would cross the bay. The waters were another issue they weren’t just ready to tackle yet.
The current problems were already enough.
"Anyways, from now on, be very vigilant. Any monster could appear at any time, but that doesn’t mean your rest days are canceled. Take the time off to prepare your minds for what we will be doing next." On that note, Jon ended the meeting concluding the situation.
Though it was still regrettable from the number of cores, orbs, weapons, technology, and even knowledge they lost from not going through the portal, however, nothing could be done about it.
He had killed the perpetrators of the portal incident, closed the portal, and even managed to send an attack before the portal closed.
***
Unknown to them all,
"Urghh..." Loud groans could be heard from the forest the shamans watching the situation from.
It was the last of the ’Specials’ shamans, Akis. And the pure rage and anger that was displayed on his face was indescribable.
Before he knew it, the shaman chief had paralyzed him, moved him from their location, and made him invisible to others.
’F-Father...’ he couldn’t scream out due to the full body paralysis, so he screamed inside him. ’I will kill you; I will kill you...’ his eyes turned bloodshot from the thoughts, and unknown to him, a particular seed also bore inside him.
’I will kill you...’ With a final thought, he touched the artifact the former chief gave him and vanished. He wasn’t a match now; however, he would come back and take his revenge.
