Lyra's POV
"I see... Then let me twist that Fate."
The knights around me is overwhelmed by my demonic aura.
"You have finally shown your true nature. In the order of the Goddess, I shall eliminate you, you vile demon!"
I manifested my sword Nefryst and held it with my hand, pointing it at the king.
"Your goddess is the one that will fall by my hands."
In a swift motion, I did a twirling slash, severing the knights who surrounded me, because of the strength of my slash, the every single knight was killed. At this point, I wanted to kill the king already, but I can't do it, because I will need every single information from him.
"Tch. This demon is too strong to single-handedly defeat my royal knights in just one strike. You shall fall!"
The king stood up from his throne and drew his sword from it's scabbard.
"I will take you on, demon! O' Goddess Lyreia, give me the strength to cleanse this demon from the world, to protect and to eternally exterminate this demon!!"
He chanted some prayers and gave him an overwhelming holy power, in an instant he charged towards me in a blink of an eye, I barely dodged his attack leaving a bruise in my neck.
"You won't get away! Divine Fission!"
He released a wave that cuts through anything, this time I managed to deflect his attack with my sword, but it was actually a distraction, he was at my back he attempted to decapitate me where I cannot possibly dodge his attack.
"You're finished."
"No, I'm not."
Then in a quick succession, I moved my body as quick as a light, cutting his sword in half. Because of the force of my swing it made the king knocked back leaving a bruises on him.
"Ugh..."
He groaned in pain, then I walked slowly towards him, pointing my sword into his face.
"Answer me. What do you know about, Hestium? Tell me any valuable information possible or... I'll force you to say something through a painful torture."
He looked up at me.
"I.. Will never tell you a thing! Even if it costs me my life!"
Unsatisfied, Strings attached onto him, that tightly entangled him, the strings seems impossible to break.
"I will not kill you. You will be tortured in these Cursed strings instead and I won't let you go until you say something."
He remains silence, breathing heavily. As he kept silent, the strings around his body tightens and gave him a cruel pain in the body, making him scream in pain.
"AAAHHHHH!!! STOP!! FINE I'LL TELL YOU!!"
I stopped the spell that gave him a cruel pain.
"The hestium... They are planning to dispose of Fhell, and they plan to make you one of their allies, because you possess a mysterious power of Lightkin... They will first kill the current you and your soul... And then after that... They will revive you in a new fresh body with fresh memories as an high-ranked Archangel..."
I looked at the king.
"I see... Then, tell me the accurate location of The Gate of Hestium. I'm not accurately sure about the whereabouts of Hestium as I'm traveling..."
The king gulps.
"The gate of Hestium... As a king, It's against the rule to reveal the location of The Gate of Hestium... I'm sorry, but I cann- AAAAAHHHH!!"
The spell activates once again, but this time it's much more stronger and far more painful making the king shed a tear. Eventually the spell stops for awhile.
"Haa... Haa... I-it is.. Located... Far North... In the Nivara Isle... And in the topmost of the Eisenthral mountain... But... There are high-ranked valkyrie guarding the gate."
Afterwards the king fell unconscious. I leave him be, then I destroyed portion of the throneroom's roof to flew high up there. I headed towards north, flying at high speed.
"Eisenthral mountain... Nivara Isle... Huh... That's a really far trip from here."

3 days Already have passed, and I'm still in the middle of the ocean, I thought I might be circling but not really, the Nivara Isle is just really so far in the north. The ocean is actually different from where I was, the ocean here is getting a bit more blue and the temperature is actually a bit more colder, which means I'm already slightly closer to the Nivara Isle.
2 days later.
Gabrielan 5th, 5089
"I can already feel it. I can feel the holy energy radiating from here."
As I flew, I started to see a enormous silhouette of a mountain. After awhile, I finally set foot on the Nivara Isle, and what's front of me is the Eisenthral Mountain. I can't seem to fly up to the topmost of the mountain because of the extreme hail, I'm afraid my wings will just get frozen if I flew.
"I got no choice but to climb this mountain then. I'll have to endure this cold."
I cast a spell that raises my temperature high enough to withstand the extreme cold. With that, I began my journey to climb this enormous mountain, facing yet another obstacle to overcome.
To Be Continued.
