Low Dimensional Game

The tunnel became a cremation site, the cavern having filled with flames. The figures writhed in pain, screaming before perishing.

These humanoid monsters made bone-chilling sounds of despair. Even within the heat of the summer, all of the soldiers within the city felt as if they had been drenched in ice water. They shivered from head-to-toe.

Along with the roars and howls, an alluring scent of roasted meat filled the air. Although it smelled delicious, all of the people felt disgusted but it, even as their stomachs rumbled.

BOOM!

The men were confused. After the silence returned, they continued to issue orders, determined to corner any remaining ghouls that may be crawling around the surroundings.

Then, the sound of warhorses, carrying fully-armored troops, was heard. Within the Mara Kingdom, with the exception of the King’s Guard, only the Church of Light had the finances to equip their troops with armor.

The troops were lined in a neat formation and no sound could be heard, except for the occasional shuffling of their feet. They moved uniformly without orders and their silence was terrifying.

Not only did the City Guards not sound the alarm, but a captain gave the order to open the gates and welcome the army inside. The deputy commander, who was representing Hans, and another general were waiting by the entrance.

Both sides followed the predetermined signals to allow the third army of the Church inside. Together, they were to forge a temporary alliance, tasked with defeating the ghoulified King’s Guard.

The middle-aged commander swallowed hard as he looked at the approaching figures, who looked oddly oppressed. He then asked, “This is the army of the Church, right?”

As the cavalry crossed the Babus bridge, the commander immediately bowed towards the approaching figures, saying, “Hello, I am the representative of the Defense Force…”

DUM! DUM!

The middle-aged commander suddenly heard strange noises. When he lifted his head, he discovered many traces of blood on the knights’ longswords and armor. The crimson drops of blood fell onto the ground. As he looked into the knights’ eyes, the gazes that met him were the familiar scarlet eyes of beasts!

All of the knights lifted their heads at once, countless scarlet eyes landing on him. The commander trembled, then immediately turned around to warn the others. However, it was already too late!

A spear extended out like a silver dragon, piercing his chest with the power of a Blood Knight. As coldness spread throughout his body, he fell.

The leader of the Blood Knights lifted the corpse into the air, then bathed himself in the gushing blood in pure delight. Every cell in his body was craving the blood, which caused him to laugh maniacally.

He appeared to be a complete monster. Yet, this monster was also an armored Blood Knight, who could kill a commander before he even had the chance to scream. To make matters worse, he was accompanied by thousands with the same capabilities.

All of the guards were completely shocked, when a shrill voice sounded from above the city walls. “Close the gates! Close the gates! Hurry up! They are no longer human!”

But, it was too late, as the horde of Death Knights had already stormed into the city. At this time, the City Guard finally sounded the alarm across the city.

———————————–

Within the palace, Adonis was still basking in the adoring cheers of the citizens. An attendant was solemnly presenting him with the King’s scepter, which was the last part of the ceremony. As soon as Adonis took the scepter, he would rise to the throne as the new ruler, thus being officially accepted by the Church of Light and the nobles of the Mara Kingdom.

However, just as the exchange happened, an unexpected incident occurred. The young attendant pulled out a dagger and stabbed Adonis in the heart! Most of the guests gasped in shock, while a small portion of the nobles looked on with a twinkle in their eyes.

Adonis clutched his chest and stumbled back in shock. He then collapsed on the throne and took his last breath.

An outraged man drew his longsword, then screamed, “Everyone, join me in killing this assassin!”

All eyes fell on the assassin in fury. At this moment, Peter stepped out to test whether Adonis was also a monster. Even if he was not, Adonis had a dubious relationship with the wizards and the monsters inside the city. To the forces behind Peter and the nobles, it would be unacceptable for this disfavored prince to ascend the throne.

“Enough, Adonis Monar! Stop pretending! You have forsaken your humanity and chosen eternal damnation in Hell as a demon!” Peter shouted.

Through his own divine seed, Peter could accurately sense that Adonis was still alive. Although he showed all the signs of being dead, his mind power remained detectable. As no living person would be able to survive a stab to the heart, Peter knew that Adonis was beyond a mere human. The only ones able to utilize such a mind power were wizards!

The crowd froze. Most of them were confused. Adonis Monar, who had just been lying dead on the throne, appeared to have come back to life!

“My God! What is happening?”

“He came back to life! What?!”

“What in the world?!”

Adonis’ blood immediately flowed back into his open wound, which then closed up completely, revealing pristine skin. If there wasn’t for the evident tear in his clothes, the previous events would seem like a complete illusion.

Adonis stood up and looked at Peter in disapproval, then said, “You kill joy. I wanted to enjoy the show a bit longer.”

Peter squared off against Adonis, Peter being on the ground and the latter on the throne. Their eyes met in a fierce standoff, then Peter said, “Wicked wizard! Your end is near! You’ve been exposed as the demon you are! It is time for you to go back to the depths of Hell where you belong!”

Adonis sat of the throne and began laughing maniacally with abandon, his eyes glittering green and his skin taking on the pallor of a dead man.

“Monster! Monster!”

“My God, what is this?!”

“The king is a monster! We chose a monster to be king!”

The crowd descended into a panic, as many people retreated into a corner. Adonis’ transformation had made him appear like an undead monster!

Adonis gazed down onto the crowd imperiously from the throne, cackling like a crazed lunatic. “HAHAHAHA! That’s right, I am a monster, and now, all of you will DIE!”

Outside, a huge explosion sounded and the ground trembled. Immediately after this, an alarm from the city wall sounded. It was the bell reserved for only the most dire of emergencies!
