How I Became the Strongest Sovereign

Chapter 155 - Second Wave

Boom!

The ground shook from a deafening detonation. We were all shaken awake from the large tremor and we all looked at each other with widened eyes. Was it another raid? Another attempt to overthrow the camp?

"What the hell was that?!" Jace was the first to shout looking at me for answers.

Loud screams and shouts echoed all around the camp. 

We were in danger.

I closed my eyes using my sixth sense to expand my vision and see what was happening outside.

Hundreds of people in black clothing with powerful mana pressures were pushing into the camp from the north side, with weapons in their hands. What were the guards doing? I located most of the guards but they all seemed to be unconscious, laying on the ground. Were they poisoned?

"Aaaahhhh! Let go of m-" I heard Naz's scream stop midway from the other side of the fence separating the boys from the girls as loud chains were attached to her and she suddenly lost all consciousness. 

I desperately sensed for Malia's mana signature, and after a couple seconds finally found it. She was unconscious a couple hundred metres away from her tent, being chained up and taken away.

"Sh*t! Wasn't this place meant to be impenetrable?! Why do people keep attacking?" I cursed, activating my lightning aura. Lightning bolts buzzed around me and my hair frizzed up from the thousands of volts of electricity flowing through me.

"What's going on?" Jace looked at me confused and worried.

"The camp's been run over by bandits and they all seem to be powerful. The guards are unconscious. Malia and the others. We have to save them." I rushed outside, knowing Malia and the other girls were already being put in a container, which was almost ready to leave. 

"We're coming with you!" Allefin said, rushing behind me.

'Voadhailis. Can you hear me?' I said through our mental connection channelling Dragonic Fame Mana to my brain to strengthen the connection.

'Yes brat. What do you want? I'm busy hunting right now.' he replied, annoyed.

'The camp's been attacked and Malia and the other girls have been abducted, start making your way here. I have a feeling the person or organisation behind this is strong.'

'Fine. I'm going to quickly kill this S rank Beast and make my way to you. Stay alive.' He said sharply, before shutting off the mental connection between us.

S rank beast? He had grown this strong in only a couple months. Dragons were truly something else.

"Stay close to me." I looked back at the 2 sprinting behind me. 

Loud explosions flattened the landscape and hundreds of black figures moved trashing tent by tent. Most of the male mages were being killed and the females were being abducted. Did they only want the women? Bodies lay all over the bloodied Earth, making the camp come out as a battlefield.

'Indra's spear.' 

Lightning mana concentrated around my palm as I striked through several of the dark figures, causing them to roar out their last cry before they died, blood spilling down from where their heart once used to be.

"Keep Moving." I ordered, breaking into a sprint towards Malia's direction.

At the moment we were in a terrible position. Especially for Allefin and Jace; I would be fine on my own but they were liabilities that would hold me back. I had to fight whilst focusing on their safety too. 

I took off my eyepatch finally and scanned forward. The bandits were speeding away with Malia and several other girls and women in some sort of a container. There was no way I was going to let them get away.

Bang!

A shockwave resounded as I gritted my teeth blocking a powerful punch aimed for my head. I reciprocated by condensing a flame ball in my left palm and pressing it into the man's chest. He was blown backwards, exploding into bits of flesh when the condensed flame ball detonated.

"You are surrounded! Step down demon boy." I heard a mature man's voice from behind me.

Several thousand black figures were still funnelling into the camp and with each second I could feel Malia's mana signature becoming fainter and fainter. I had to catch up to them.

"You are strong, and you're a young demon. You'll fetch a good price… Don't make this any harder or else we'll have to use force." He smiled, taking off his hood and appearing in front of me. A man in his late 40's with many battle scars confidently stood in front of me. 

I could hear Jace's and Allefin's heartbeats quicken as thousands of powerful soldiers all with mana pool stages 4 and higher surrounded us slowly like a swarm of insects.

"Get out of my way." I said coldly, glaring at the man in front of me. 

"You still have such an attitude. I shall teach you some manners, little demon." He said, smiling devilishly.

"I'll tell you once more. This is an order. Move." I shot daggers towards the man with my gaze, making him flinch. He stepped back subconsciously from my killing intent but gritted his teeth and charged towards me with a punch.

I shifted his momentum to the side grabbing his arm before imbuing my fist with Lightning mana and punching the side of his rib cage. He was sent flying towards the heaps of black bandits pummelling through several of them.

"KILL THEM!" 

"AAARGHH!!"

Several battle cries shook the army of bandits to life as they all charged at us from all sides. 

'Shackles Release.'

'Lightning Call.'

A burst of mana exploded from my body causing the Earth to shake like an Earthquake was taking place. I had no time to waste time on these weaklings, so I was going full on from the start.

2 Dark horns and black wings broke out from my body and a reddish tint emitted from the tip of my wings and horns. 

As my right eye glowed bright red with an ancient pattern, the left shone a spectacular Golden Yellow signalling my Dragon blood awakening. Lightning struck down from the clouds above towards my body, causing my hair to go from the demon transformation's red to white. Large bolts of Lightning circled my body like Pythons and an overwhelming strength filled my body. 

Lightning Call was a new spell I had developed. I was able to absorb real lightning from the clouds into my body and use it instead of wasting mana.

The electric buzz around my body and overwhelming power flowing through my veins, I exhaled slowly. It felt like I could shatter the heavens with my strength. 

[MP is dropping rapidly]

"Gravity Zone."

I expanded the spell's range throughout the whole camp slowing down all of the bandits. 

"You should have listened when I told you to move." I said coldly.

Jace and Allefin looked at me wide eyed like a monster had appeared before them. They were frozen still from fear and from the immense pressure I was emitting.

  I didn't give them time to digest what had just happened to me as I blitzed towards the bandits sending large bolts of lightning and flames with a swing of my arm. I crushed and slaughtered half the bandits in a matter of seconds, staining my pyjamas red from blood. I swiped horizontally causing body parts and heads to fly everywhere. 

Loud screams of fear began resounding as I hunted them like flies, dismembering their bodies and sending them all to the afterlife with a single swing of my hand.

Lightning bolts descended down from the sky punishing the swarms of black figures all around the camp like divine punishment. 

This night. A monster's wrath was being unleashed.

"You stupid dem-" The man appeared in front of me with his mana pressure unleashed. 

"Get out of my sight." I stared into the man's eyes, causing him to freeze in fear. My demon eye had this effect to make people weaker than me feel extremely weak and frail under me. 

My arm moved like a whip as I cut off his head with my arm in a swift movement.

BOOM! BOOM! 

Shockwaves exploded from every fine movement I executed as I kept breaking the sound barrier and causing large scale explosions with my spells. 

**

-A Kilometre away from the camp-

"What monster is causing all that destruction?! The whole camp is being flattened! Even the Earth is shaking." A man exclaimed.

"Sir, you should see this!" A young man threw his binoculars to the man in charge. 

The two men were riding on the back of the carriage holding the container filled with the abducted women and girls. Several armed personnel escorted the carriage and even they couldn't help but turn their head back and see the destruction that was being caused behind them.

"It's a demon! What the hell! And it's a demon King at that… Tell the driver to go faster. And send a transmission to the boss!"

"What should I say sir?"

"A f*cking monarch has descended!"
