Chapter 280: Within her
The prince let his guard down for a few minutes because he had to help a few people and due to that, the king decided to take advantage of the moment and captured the prince.
"I suggest you guys stop fighting or he gets it," The king said as the others looked at each other then Ian gnashed his teeth.
"He is not stronger than I am but he is stronger than you guys, now, do you want me to hurt him?" The king asked as the chains wrapped around the prince tighter, squeezing his body and the others backed off and the king chuckled.
"You guys are so pathetic, you have weaknesses which enemies could just exploit and no matter how strong you are, you will become weak because of that, you should all just stop caring," He said as the prince glared as him and the prince's eyes began glowing brightly and the glow started spreading across his body and the others looked at him and he smiled.
"I am strong, not weak!" The prince shouted as he released the glow, causing the chains to shatter then he attacked the king sending him flying across the street and he stood up with the others.
"This ends now, I am not going to tolerate you guys for another second, this is my kingdom," He said and the king chuckled as his body began glowing bright red and Nessa came to a halt then looked and saw the glow and she gasped.
At that moment, Nessa realized that the king was with the others and she sighed, knowing that they could fight him, but the king was different, he didn't care who he killed.
"What should we do?" Yonja asked and Nessa sighed.
"We are going back," She responded and he nodded, then they rushed back as the king attacked the prince, but Cortan created a barrier before him and the prince took advantage of that moment then disappeared and the others wondered where he went.
At the very same time Nessa and Yonja arrived and she saw when he disappeared, then out of nowhere, glowing green arrows began forming in the sky and attacked both the king and his fiancee.
A few of the arrows injured them because their attacks were strong, but yet it was not enough, then the prince reappeared before them and Nessa smiled.
"He can cloak himself and use arrows, which means he is good with blades as well, he is pretty strong," Nessa said and Yonja glanced at her.
"You guys are becoming pesky," His fiancee shouted as she lifted her hand up in the air and the ground began shaking then she hit her hand on the ground as spikes began raising up, injuring a lot of knights in the process and the others got hurt but it was not bad.
She then lifted her hand up and the spikes lifted up from the ground forming a circle behind her and the others sighed.
"This is not going to end well, they are not giving us a chance," Cortan said as he created a barrier before all of them and the king's eyes glowed as red beams of light struck, though the barrier, striking Cortan in his stomach and Niva gasped as the barrier disappeared and she grabbed onto him.
"Guys," The prince said then Sophia stood up before Niva and Cortan.
"Niva, don't let him bleed too much, I will protect you guys in the meantime," Sophia said as the prince went and stood by her side and Yonja and Nessa looked at each other as the girl released her spikes attacked and the others gasped when they saw it was coming from behind them as well.
"That's bad," Nessa said when her eyes began glowing green and she crouched down and placed both of her hand on the ground, and two earth walls formed around the others, completely blocking the spikes and they gasped, then Yonja looked at Nessa and the king as well as his fiancee's eyes narrowed then the earth wall disappeared and Nessa and Yonja appeared before the others.
"Yonja, Nessa," Sophia said and Nessa looked at Cortan then the receptionist of the guild rushed towards them and looked at Cortan.
"Niva, he will be okay, let me heal him," She said then Niva smiled and moved her hand away from Cortan's wound and the girl placed her hand on it and closed her eyes and he began healing.
"They need to go..." The prince said as he lowered his head while looking at the mess the king and his fiancee caused around them and Nessa exhaled deeply.
"Nessa, why do you keep getting involved when you are not even from around here, huh?" The fiancee asked and Nessa looked at them and smiled.
"You two are crazy, now you are going to meet your match, you have caused enough harm to these people, now you will deal with me," She responded and the fiancee chuckled as the king stared at Nessa and she smiled at him as his men surrounded them while the knights protected the people.
The knights didn't understand what was going on but they knew their duty was to protect the citizens of the kingdom and that's exactly what they did while looking at the king and the others fight, they were confused as to why they were even fighting.
"There is something weird about you, that day, the energy release at the guild, a similar feeling is coming from you right now, but I wasn't before," The king said and Nessa chuckled.
"That's because I am good at concealing the energy around and within me, you see, I am a mixed breed, you wondered where the diamond was before, right?" Nessa asked and the king scoffed then a smirk appeared on his face.
"It makes sense now, I should have known, you have the diamond within you, don't you?" He asked and Nessa smiled as her eyes glowed bright green as well as her entire body.
"Yeah, it is within me, come and get it if you want," She responded and the prince's eyes widened as he left staring at Nessa as well as the others.
