Chapter 1069 Revenge From An Innocent Heart [Part 3]

The Castle of the Ashina Kingdom burned in a sea of flames under Eiko's indifferent gaze.

Unlike her Papa, she was someone that wouldn't bat an eye when it came to destroying an entire Kingdom and its people.

She was a Monster, and it was in her nature to be merciless.

However, since she was raised by Lux and Iris, she still had a bit of compassion left in her.

But, at the end of the day, she wasn't as compassionate as her Papa.

After capturing the King, and slaughtering him in front of the Prince Lionell, Eiko proceeded to exterminate his entire bloodline.

Poseidon also bombarded the city with its blazing cannon balls, turning anything they hit into a blazing inferno.

They first started at the castle, then gradually made the fire spread.

The spread of the flames wasn't that fast, because Poseidon deliberately controlled the scope of destruction that it was dealing to the city.

It made sure that the people were able to evacuate from their homes before setting those homes ablaze.

Black smoke rose towards the sky, alerting the neighboring kingdoms of what was happening.

Originally, they thought that the Xynnar War Pact had decided to launch an invasion on their Domain, catching them all by surprise.

However, when they saw that there were no massive armies on the ground, they started to think that this was an attack done by Saints.

This wasn't the first time that Saints attacked the territories under the Skystead Alliance.

The most recent incident was when Alexander and Maximilian obliterated the Capital City of the Ashina Kingdom.

It had been a year since then, and the city had been rebuilt with the help of the best Earth Mages in the Skystead Alliance.

On their way towards the Ashina Kingdom, they came across several Saints from the Xynnar War Pact.

They thought that their initial hunch was correct.

But before they could engage the invaders, the Saints of the Xynnar War Pact told them that they came to investigate what was happening in the Ashina Kingdom.

Of course, the Saints of the Skystead Alliance didn't trust them and forbade them from interfering with the matters of their Alliance.

This forced the Saints from the Xynnar War Pact to stop their investigation.

With one problem out of the way, the Saints of the Skystead Alliance headed towards the Ashina Kingdom at full speed.

When they arrived at their destination, they noticed the Giant Bone Ship that was hovering above the city, and shooting its cannons at the ground.

This enraged the Saints, so they immediately started to attack the Bone Ship, with the intention of completely destroying it.

But, none of their attacks managed to deal any damage to it.

Poseidon was protected by a purple dome of light, covering its entirety.

None of the attacks that had been unleashed in its direction even put a dent on the barrier, making the Saints look at it with grim expressions on their faces.

The Baby Slime wasn't pleased about the pesky insects that were getting in the way of her revenge.

Because of this, she asked the three Supremes to deal with the Saints from the Skystead Alliance.

In Eiko's eyes, the Skystead Alliance and the Vahan Empire were one and the same.

They were the people that bullied her Papa when he was doing his best to create his Guild in their territory.

The Baby Slime was a vengeful little baby. Because of this, she treated the entire Skystead Alliance as her enemy.

Of course, Blackfire was more than happy to lend a hand, so it summoned all of the Saints that it had captured since it started to crazily gather powerful warriors under Lux's banner.

The three Supremes were already enough to make the Saints of the Skystead Alliance flee in fright.

However, when countless Saints appeared, the reinforcements who had come to help the Ashina Kingdom found it hard even to breathe.

The pressure emitted by these warriors was simply overbearing.

The surprising thing was that even the Saints, who were patiently waiting on the border of the Xynnar War Pact, felt this overpowering sense of dread wash over them like a tide.

"J-Just what is happening over there?!" a skinny Saint from the Xynnar War Pact exclaimed. "Just who did the Skystead Alliance offend? Is it the Dragons?!"

"It must be," another Saint replied. "This dominating presence can only be released by Supremes and countless Saints."

"… Should we go and see what is happening over there?" the Saint asked.

"If you want to die then go on your own," a chubby Saint scoffed. "Have you heard of the saying that curiosity killed the Saint? Just stay put and don't interfere. If you annoy them, they might shift their anger to us when they are done with the Skystead Alliance."

The Saint who proposed they should take a look shuddered.

If these powerful people really decide to invade their territory, he was certain that even if all of them fought to the death, the one who would lose would certainly be them.

They couldn't afford to antagonize such an enemy, so they decided to wait until everything was over.

Blackfire zoomed across the skies of the Ashina Kingdom, devouring Saints left and right.

Although not all the Saints of the Ashina Kingdom had come to investigate what was happening, it was still able to devour a dozen Saints, making its trip worthwhile.

A few hours later, Poseidon finally flew away from the destroyed city.

Thick black flames were still rising up into the sky and could be seen for miles on end.

When the Saints that had been dispatched by Emperor Andreas arrived at the scene, the only thing they saw were miles of scorched land as evidence that a calamity had descended upon the Ashina Kingdom.

What they didn't know was that this "calamity" was currently making its way towards the Vahan Empire.

Eiko stood on the top of the main mast of her ship, and looked in front of her with a calm expression on her face.

Prince Lionell's and Esmond's lifeless bodies were still hanging from the bow of her ship because she couldn't be bothered to deal with the two of them.

Both of them had cried rivers of blood after personally seeing the destruction of their Kingdom from start to finish.

Eiko didn't give them a swift death.

Instead, she ordered Poseidon to stick sharp spikes on their bodies from time to time, making them scream until they became hoarse from screaming.

In the end, Eiko stopped caring because she had already done what she came to do.

She understood that the moment she got her hands on Prince Lionell and Esmond, their deaths were a done deal.

However, after torturing them for hours, she got bored of it, so she simply allowed nature to take its course.

Now, she had set her sights on the Vahan Empire, in order to give them a little payback for her Papa's and Grandma's suffering back then.

Blackfire very much approved of the Baby Slime's decisiveness. 

If only Asmodeus and Avernus were with Eiko, both of them would surely give the Baby Slime a thumbs up, and even assist her in her revenge.

Sadly, Lux's two diabolical subordinates were out of reach, so they weren't able to witness the path of destruction that Eiko was carving as she continued her adventure in Elysium.

Emperor Andreas was busy paying close attention to the Fynn Kingdom because he was afraid that Lux would invade his Empire due to the grudge he held long ago.

Soon, he would realize that he was worrying about the wrong person.

But, who could blame him?

How could he possibly know that the cute, harmless-looking Baby Slime, who was always perched on the Half-Elf's head, was now on her way to his kingdom with an army that would make him piss his pants.
