Legend of the Immortal

Too Weak

Poseidon's Castle.

In a flash, Nathan dashed forward and knocked two of the guards out, not making a single sound at all.

Motioning with his hand, Rica and Jamie jumped forward and ran, bashing the gate down.

They realised- the gate was already unlocked for some apparent reason.

Wearily, they walked in, only to find all the all guards guarding the building itself to be completely wiped out, leaving not a single one alive.

"What happened in here?" Jamie muttered as he looked around at the his immediate surroundings.

Dead bodies were piled together in groups of five, made into one sick circle of humans surrounding the decorative coral statue of the supposed Poseidon.

Raising their weapons, they walked into the palace itself, after the strange occurrences they had just witnessed, it was apparent something had happened.

As to whether these occurrences were beneficial to them or not, they were soon to find out.

Again, like the gate, the main entrance to the palace was left unlocked, the guards, dead.

Surveying the surroundings, once again, the guards were all dead, not a sign of blood present.

"By the gods, what happened here?" Nathan breathed out, shocked and amazed at the work of this/these mysterious individual or individuals.

They trod forth quietly, anticipating that possible surprise attack.

Yet, no matter which room they went, it was all the same...

All rooms were checked except for one.

The throne room.

They perpetrator had either fled long ago or was in this very room with the former being more likely.

Opening the door, a horrific to behold was seen.

Instead of the usual blue and gold like in the other rooms, this one's walls were smeared a bright stoplight red.

The scent of blood was overwhelming.

It was nauseating.

Turning their heads, the throne was in sight.

There on the throne, sat a merman.

In that man's hand was a head with a crown.

"Oh? Visitors? Why have you come?" The man asked.

"Who are you?" Rica asked, holding [Disintegrator] tightly.

"Me? I am the king of Oceanic Reefs of course! I have claimed my father's throne which rightfully belongs to me! All my brothers are dead and I am the only living heir! Naturally I am the king!" The man egotistically shouted, his chest puffed out.

"Then, we have come to kill you." Nathan said as he dashed forward and cut the man with his claws, turning into his hydra form.

A gigantic dragon with three heads, azure blue scales which shined like diamonds and a fierce look.

Regal and dignified would be the appropriate words to describe its appearance.
