Rise of the Inquisition (Arcs 7-9)

Chapter 200: Return to Orion

Everyone in the room watched as Delta swung down from out of the sky, and blasted through the large windows behind King Arthur's throne. Sending shattered glass raining down onto the floor, forcing everyone in the room besides the soulless Legion of Death soldiers to cover their eyes. The black barrier covering the windows shattered along with the windows, and left a giant gaping hole where the windows used to be. Everyone watched as Delta skidded down onto the ground, crushing rows of black cloaked soldiers before he came to a complete halt, he then took his tale and smacked away the undead Zenith Code soldiers moving towards King Arthur.

"Who the hell do you think you are! Bringing a giant dragon into the throne room I took over! Putting a giant dent into my ultimate plan!"

Evilyne didn't exactly know who used Delta, and smashed through the windows and the black barrier to ruin her plans, but deep within her she already knew just from recognizing the white dragon that was Delta. Paladin slid off the back of Delta, and everyone in the room watched his every movement. They attempted to look at his face, but it was already covered by his raised bandana. They watched as multiple Legion of Death soldiers charged at him, but were quickly swatted away by Delta. Upon confirming that it was indeed Paladin who came to the throne room, Evilyne changed her tone.

"Lord Inquisitor... long time no see--"
"Hello Evilyne."

As Jingks looked on at Paladin, he could noticeably see something different about him. Unlike the last time he saw Paladin, there was a different aurora that was coming from him. An exalted conquering aurora, a golden aurora that had never for even a second been vanquished.

"I see you have recovered from the beating Supreme Grandmaster Tiberius gave you, the Grand Wizard, and Wolf King."

"I have."

Evilyne smirked as she tilted her head towards Paladin, smiling as she spoke.

"Lord Inquisitor, how did you enjoy the beat down Supreme Grandmaster Tiberius gave you? Was it enjoyable? Overpowering? Suffocating?"

Paladin doesn't vocally respond to Evilyne, instead opting to respond physically. He unsheathed Excalibur, immediately causing blazing golden flames to burst out from the golden blade of Excalibur. At the same time, Paladin used Surging Gauntlets on his free left gauntlet. Everyone watched as surging lighting wrapped around his left gauntlet, shining a brilliant blinding gold.

"I'm looking forward to fighting the Legion of Death again, especially you Evilyne. Unlike the first time when we met, there won't be any escaping. There won't be anyone else here that can stop me from getting to you."

Evilyne laughed at Paladin while she quickly paced around in circles.

"Your time is running out Lord Inquisitor, even if you managed to kill me it won't change anything in the grand scheme of things. The end of the year is nearing, and the day of promise will soon occur. The day the Legion of Death marches on the Capital City, the Kingdom of Orion, and the day the Inquisition is defeated will soon arrive!"

Paladin didn't laugh, he didn't chuckle, he didn't berate Evilyne. Instead, he took what she said seriously and he shook his head.

"Maybe Evilyne, maybe the day will come where the Inquisition is defeated by the Legion of Death--"

"It isn't a maybe Lord Inquisitor--"
"But Evilyne, I have seen the light. I have seen the future where the Inquisition conquers the Legion of Death, saving the Kingdom of Orion and all others from the Legion's wrath."

Evilyne facepalmed as she snickered and shook her head.

"Blasphemous Lord Inquisitor!"

"It's not--"
