War of Life II {Sequel 2}

Reachlie's Orders, The Demise of The Castle?!

General Axard and Wu Dang decided it would be in their best interest to help Reachlie in the path to freedom as the freedom for the land was on the shoulders of more than the guild or Reachlie! Keeping this in mind, they both continued walking without stopping anywhere. 

"Is this the time I prove myself worthy of being a student of Master Ryukyuriu? I've shyed away for far too long, neglected the right path for too long...Helping the land right now should be the beginning of my redemption! In a way, wasn't Master Ryukyuriu's death because of my selfish decisions..." Wu Dang thought to himself as he held himself accountable for Ryukyuriu's death.

"If only I wasn't blinded by my selfish dream to take over the library to take revenge from Rael, wasn't Master Ryukyuriu doing the same? I could have just followed his motives, kept my vengeance within and waited for the right time, wouldn't I still be standing with Master Ryukyuriu? How did I believe Rael and left Master Ryukyuriu unguarded?! It's all because of me, I was the reason this land and the plan of the coup were thrown into cessation. A stupid mistake that cost so many lives. What was my reason? To take revenge? At what cost? So many people were left hopeless...The real heroes are the poeple I stand by right now, my efforts will forever lack." Wu Dang questioned himself trying to take all the blame on himself...

"Are you forgetting, the Evil Devils took this land from us, and you, the sworn owner of this land...They took Ryukyuriu, they took many lives, the protectors of this land were taken away, they even took the book of DOOM, a book hidden and forbidden to be even looked at. And as sad as Ryukyuriu's death was, it brought upon us a responsibility. The responsibility to hold this land dear for his sake as well. Can't you look at the stern citizens, once common people, now fighting for freedom. Ask any of these people here how many people they knew or loved have they seen fall before their eyes and yet they're prospering. They're not scared of the outcome anymore, they just have a deep faith for a better future. This was the dream of Ryukyuriu, now all of us on the battlefield embody his motives and will till the very end! Don't let your brain think of what went wrong, and take every step with conviction! Leave Ryukyuriu's death behind as you once left the tragedy of this land. Take responsibility, now is the right time, don't let this golden opportunity slip past you. This is your chance to learn from what you did wrong and do the best you can!" General Axard's words helped Wu Dang feel better, they raised his very spirit! 

Lion King and Ashlin's fight was also transpiring expeditiously when General Axard and Wu Dang were dawdling towards the castle.

Lion King's POV

"What's the old geezer doing here?! He's walking towards the castle with that punk...Do they not know Rael isn't there anymore?" Lion King wondered in confusion...

"Heyyy!! You old geezer!!! R-" Lion King was yelling when he saw from the corner of his eye, Ashlin rocketing towards the two...

"What the hell, he's targeting them...Damn it, they should've stayed back!" Lion King gnawed his teeth. With the best of his ability as he too flew to protect the two...

Holding tightly onto his spear, Lion King flew and landed on the ground with a blast as he set his feet firm to counter the oncoming attack...So was what Lion King thought...but it wasn't the case. As he was standing in front of the two facing Ashlin who was as if stuck in time all of a sudden...Ashlin's fingers began moving...

"Why is he stuck in the air now? His fingers...they..." Lion King turned his head when all of a sudden from his right and through the clouds of dust, a shadowy figure with catastrophic footsteps was heard, but it was too late to even move an inch...
