My Free Will System: Transmigrating Into My Favorite Immersion Game
Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Stupid People Everywhere

"The culprit!" Lord Thane shouted as he swiftly pulled out his wand and fired a charged bolt of pure mana at Carius

The mana bolt zoomed past at an incredible speed but still failed to strike Carius, instead, it hit the cloak Carius wore, burning it upon impact.

The cloak was hit, but Carius was nowhere to be seen, he had shed his cloak to take the damage and disappeared.

"Where is he?" Lord Thane looked around, frantically searching for Carius

"Protect the High-luminary!" Anias screamed, and the acolytes present, Nigel and Dickson included, formed a circle around the High-luminary. The cloaked female priest stepped forward and began scanning the room for signs of Carius, but when she saw him, it was too late.

Carius had somehow found his way to Queen's seat in a short period of time, he stood beside her with his index and middle fingers firmly pressed against her temple,

"If anybody should make a move, I'll take the life of your queen," Carius declared and Thane raised his wand at Carius almost immediately, "Don't try to be a hero, I'll kill her without batting an eye," Carius warned Lord Thane with an expression that showed that he would do as he had threatened.

Queen Seraphina felt Carius' hand on her temple, and they were cold, cold as the dish he was about to serve them. She shivered involuntarily, not from the cold of the evening, but the dread that was settling in her chest. Her breathing soon began to match her panic, as it came in shallow gasps, her ample chest rising and falling in the visible rhythm of fear.

Lord Thane lowered his wand slowly, "What do you want? Money? Is that it? You want to hold the queen for ransom?" He asked with a frank face

"Here's what is going to happen," Carius began, "The king is going to release my sister and all the other Flares he captured,"

"Why would he do that? There's a reason he captured them," Lord Thane said

Carius shot Thane a discrediting look, "Shut up, I'm not done yet. If the king doesn't comply, I'll kill everyone here.

I'm sure you all have noticed some little dust-like particles floating around in the air, they aren't just for dramatic effects. As quick as a thought, I can send you to the afterlife" he explained

"Ahhhh!! Die!!" A random soldier ran at Carius, brandishing his spear at the Flare man

Carius glanced at the man, and before the stupid soldier could take two more steps, one of the floating sanguine particles abruptly turned into a large crystal, and impaled the soldier.

"Nice, a demonstration. Maybe this will help you all understand the gravity of the situation.

As you have just witnessed, each of these particles is capable of turning into that," He said, pointing at the massive blood-drenched crystal sticking out of the soldier's body

Lord Thane stepped back defensively and put his hand over his nose.

"Smart move, but it's too late for that. Everyone here has already breathed in my crystals, now tell your sorry excuse of a king to give me what, or else your insides are about to have more holes than a sponge fish" Carius demanded

"Shit, this bastard " Lord Thane muttered

"Autumn breeze" A familiar voice cut through the tension in the air, following the words of the voice, a gentle breeze filled the King's canopy causing all the sanguine crystal particles to be swept away

King Alaric sat up in his chair, for the first time since Carius' arrival.

"Elias, Elias Ashdown" Carius said

Elias finally had intervened in the situation, being the only one not having anything on the line, he could act freely.

Elias pushed back the locks of his hair that were blown out of place by the wind,

"Carius, Carius…Carius?" He said, his tone taking a confused tone at the latter part of his sentence

"At least there was something you didn't lie about, you are the child of light,"

"I didn't lie to you about anything else, if this is about the raid on your hideout, I promise you that I knew nothing of it. It was an innocent misunderstanding," Elias explained, his voice taking a remorseful tone

Carius's brow squeezed tighter," Innocent misunderstanding? My sister has spent nights, nights in the cells because of your "Innocent misunderstanding". Well, I shouldn't entirely blame you for it, I should blame this slob with a crown for it, he caused this, and now he's going to fix it,"

Elias approached Carius slowly, "Whatever you're thinking of doing Carius, I urge you not to do it, if not for anything, for the sake of your sister.

What do you think would happen if you killed the queen? Do you think your sister and the rest will be magically freed? If you go through with this, you're condemning your sister's life to death and it's not just hers, you're condemning all Flares to death," Elias explained

Expression softened, Elias' words were getting to him, perhaps he had acted too impulsively,

"He's a flare?" Lord Thane asked, " A filthy flare dares lay his hands on My queen?!"

"Quiet Lord Thane," Elias said

But Thane heeded not Elias' words, so he kept on going, "All your kind should be wiped out, this is why you're all shackled and dragged around like dogs, you let your emotions run rampant like the animals you are. You all are the lowest of the low" He barked angrily

"I said keep quiet you old fool!!" Elias shouted

He looked up and saw Carius' hardened face seething with burning rage, a blood hue glow flashed across his eyes. Carius was about to kill Lord Thane if Elias didn't act soon

"Fuck," Elias said as he use "Bladewalk" to rapidly get to Carius

He slipped a ring on his finger, snapped his fingers, and with the loud sucking sound of air trying to fill the empty space they once stood, Elias and Carius vanished instantly.
