The Dragon's Flame Queen ✔

Chapter 102 - Was the castle alive?

As soon as Billard and his army reached Foyed, the head of Foyed restricted them to go. Prince Billard had sent him a letter informing him beforehand, but that the money greedy head of the town didn't answer but he agreed at once after seeing that many men all at once. Besides, if he didn't, Prince Billard might conquer his town too.

The men marched past the town as they went toward the desert. Master Valentine and Minister Houjou followed him with their army.

As they followed the route Reginald had sent, they noticed a small dot in the sky from afar.

"Is that the castle your soldier mentioned in the letter?" Prince Billard asked as Valentine nodded while riding their horses.

"I assume so, your Highness."

"It seems Dark Fairies have some extraordinary powers to fly a castle in the sky," Billard said.

"Well, from my point of view, one single wizard can't do it on his own." Master Valentine said.

"Even if they are as powerful as the King tier?"

Master Valentine thought for a moment then shook his head, "Yes. Because the only King tier I had met when I was young, his name was Murik and he was the only one who could throw a dragon with his powers."

Billard looked at the old advisor with an excited pair of eyes because finding out about Master Valentine's past was almost impossible yet it was pretty interesting. The man hardly ever disclosed anything about his past life and both Billard and Demian were eager to know more about him.

"Dragon as in dragon form?"

"Yes. And he could throw three dragons together."

Billard was amused as he said, "Then there is a king tier in that castle, we should be weary."

"Like I said, Murik was the only King tier who could do that." Master Valentine looked at Billard and added, "Other King tiers I had met, they couldn't. They could fight one on one batter with a full fledged dragon but Murik could fight with 3 or more. He was that powerful and that was the only time I lost."

Master Valentine mumbled, "He was a damn wizard and I lost to him."

The corners of Prince Billard's lips curled up and he said, "Just pray that he isn't here."

"No, he can't be. He died before the war ended and besides, if he was still alive, he would have been an old man."

After an hour or two, Billard and his whole army arrived at the spot but the question was how to climb that far. Other than transforming into dragons, there weren't any other options.

As he was in his thoughts, a destructive sound startled him and all the soldiers including Billard stepped back immediately. Rocks and bricks fell on the ground of sands as they all looked up at the source.

A wide gap formed on his mouth as he saw, the castle above him was crumbling down from the side and blue flames spreading out of it. To the sound of the explosion came the terrible echo as if it were the anguished cry of it.

The whole army stepped back and shielded Prince Billard and their superiors as all of them witnessed the rage of the blue flames.

The magnificent flames grew more and more and they could feel the warmth of it. Both Billard and Master Valentine looked at each other.

Both knew whose flame it was. They had heard about the rumors before but never witnessed it. It was a beautiful color of blue but deadly as it grew and grew and grew as if it had no boundaries in its path or better, no one had the power to stop it.
