Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 566 King Seidel

In the blink of an eye, another 10 days had passed since Vicenteʼs encounter with the 3rd stage vampire in the Chutha Dynastyʼs east-central region.

As he traveled with Layla and Casey to the northwest of the dynasty, a concern from Vicenteʼs allies had reached the royal throne hall of the Seidel Kingdom!

...

In the royal throne hall of the Seidel Kingdom, a brown-haired man with a beard and mustache of the same color sat in the most important position in the state, dressed in the royal robes and crown of the local leader.

Next to him were two people. One was a mature-looking and very well-behaved woman dressed all in black, the kingʼs right-hand woman. The other was an elderly-looking man dressed in armor bearing the symbol of the royal family, with his arms behind his back and a sword at his waist.

There were ten steps in front of them, from which they could see the entire throne hall, where royal guards from the highest ranks of the army were in position, and a group of three people stood in the middle of the area, knees bent as they went about official business.

”Your Majesty, this humble fellow is here to ask for your help. Given the current situation in the Mysterious Wilderness, I cannot fulfill my responsibilities. Therefore, Iʼm here to request 10 royal guard members.” One of the people there said while looking at the ground, not daring to look at the king even though he was a Count of the Seidel Kingdom.

This man and his two companions were only Mages. Apart from them, no one from the 3rd stage was in this hall!

There even was someone there who was already at the 5th stage, a man hiding among the royal guards!

King Seidel, Ethan Seidel, a Sky Sovereign, heard this and didnʼt find it challenging to understand this guyʼs situation. ”Iʼll send 6 royal guards to your territory, Chase. Theyʼll handle the situation in your area and return to the capital. That should be enough.”

Count Chase smiled when he heard this, satisfied with the number of guards that would return to his territory at his side.

The royal guards were no mere army soldiers. They were the most prestigious members of the kingʼs forces, and they were all Sovereigns!

Since these guards had no battalions of their own, they were at the kingʼs disposal, and only the monarch could move them within the state.

After Count Chase had thanked the king several times, he left the royal throne hall while most of the guards there escorted him out of the area.

Leaving only the two people at the kingʼs side and the Paragon hidden among his personal guards, the king sighed and said. ”What that girl from Saltstar Cityʼs Awakening Temple was seeking seems to be something bigger than we thought.” He said as he looked at the Paragon, who belonged to a friendly sect of his state and was there to protect him in case of need.

The woman next to the king, a Sky Sovereign just like him and the old man in armor, asked. ”Is this wave of monsters in the south of the continent related to the Seven-Day Tsunami?”

The king and his left-hand man looked at that Paragon, who sat quietly cross-legged on the ground, not bothering to speak.

After about 20 seconds of silence, the expert said. ”It is possible. But it could be something else.”

The three kingdom natives opened their eyes wider, realizing that if it wasnʼt the Seven-Day Tsunami, then it could be something dire that could endanger even the kingdom!

The Seven-Day Tsunami was an event that had occurred in the north of the continent for thousands and thousands of years. It happened every 100 years when certain special conditions co-occurred, and the monsters in the north of the continent would go into berserk mode for days.

The weaker and potentially more vulnerable creatures would flee during the event to be less affected and to escape the stronger ones that would act against members of the same or different races.

During the event, chaos would reign in the areas with the most sightings of special magical beings, usually bringing bloodbaths that are difficult to see on the continent in normal times.

The Seven-Day Tsunami was terrible, but it was a known natural event that the human powers of the continent knew how to deal with and prepare for. There were still five years until the next such event, so if that was the case, the current problem might not be so bad because the problems that had already reached them wouldnʼt get much worse. And after the end of that period, things would return to normal.

But if there was something else behind these monster sightings, then maybe they should be worried!

The Paragon saw the expressions on the three faces and said. ”Emancipation Day is just around the corner. You know that, right?”

The king frowned. ”Yes, but what does the anniversary of the human victory in the war against magical beings have to do with it?”

”The Purification.” That was all the Paragon said, but it was enough to alert the three to something deeply complex about the monsters in the north of the continent.

”Are you serious?” The old man in armor to the kingʼs left stepped forward, sweat dripping from his brow. ”Are those monsters really willing to do this?”

”Demonix is willing to do anything.”

The woman and the old man looked at the king, a little pale at hearing the name of the most important vampire clan on the continent.

”Your Majesty...”

”If vampires are behind this, we canʼt doubt it.” The king commented as he swallowed his saliva. ”We must prepare for the worst.

”Your Excellency, how much time do we have?”

The Paragon looked at the king and narrowed his eyes, seeing images of hourglasses forming behind the three people. ”Not long enough. If you want to prepare, you have until the Seven-

Day Tsunami. If whatʼs happening is connected to the vampiresʼ plans, thatʼs the maximum time before they act.”

”Shit!” The king cursed as he rose from his throne, somewhat worried about the future.

”You two, run and prepare our army. Raise the threat level to the state and free resources from our reserve for the most talented soldiers.” He ordered, not taking lightly what might happen to the state if The Purification was actually behind these reports of monsters in his state.

The Purification referred to a great sacrifice ordered by the vampires, something that, according to the legends, would bring hell to the Polaris Realm and would be the beginning of a new era for the continent. In particular, it would be the end of human dominance!
