"So that was what those were." Ashley murmured as she saw the image in front of her. A holographic image of a bizarre and otherworldly hazard of a creature was presented in front of her.
It was a Felir from before however it was different in comparison to earlier. This time, they were bipedal however they lacked legs moving on their arms.
They had jarring mouths which seemed to be carved out of bones and marrow. Soulless pitch white eyes with a shadowy and hazy body.
Her fingers ran through Andrew's hair as his head rested on her plump thighs. She was barely dressed however with the two of them alone in their room, she didn't mind.
At first when she had seem them back on earth, she was petrified however knowing that Andrew had full control of the situation was a relief for her.
"Yes. They don't require mana and are completely invulnerable to all mana and physical attacks." Andrew added on as her soft dainty fingers rested on her forehead.
"It should be two more days before Lirien gets here." Ashley mused before her eyes landed back onto Andrew's. She wasn't surprised that Andrew was already aware of the events that had transpired in Aurorise.
"However Zarina will be an issue if you ignore her. I could send one of these to kill her if you'd like." Ashley let out a small laugh. "Do you think that I can't deal with some measly bitch? You think too little of me!"
Her cheeks were bloated to which he took a light pinch out of. "Underestimating you is something that I had never thought." He laughed as he felt Ashley combing his hair with her fingers.
It had been a while since he got a haircut and his jade green eyes would sharply pierce through the light strings of hair that would cover his face.
*Knock-Knock-Knock*
The two heard a knock to which Andrew gave off a light laugh. "To think that he would betray his kingdom like that." He joked as he allowed the party to enter.
The slow creak of footsteps could be heard as it made its way towards where they were. The room had modern renovations however they didn't seem flustered with exposing it to the party that had walked in.
"Sirius, how may I help you? Before I lose interest and blow your fucking brains out." Andrew shot as he saw Sirius take a seat opposite to them.
Sirius was taken aback however his attention shifted towards the two. 'What is this? It would seem that there is a force preventing me from looking at them!'
"If you want to keep your head, I'd advise you to let it stay like that." Ashley said as her eyes landed on Sirius's face. A cold sweat could be seen drip from his face as his landed everywhere except the two.
What stole his attention was the beast in a holographic form that hovered above the table. His brain couldn't rack up what it was however the image disappeared before he could raise any questions.
"I am aware that the two of you will launch a war on us the day after tomorrow however I have a means for both of us." Sirius started off however the two despite him not seeing their faces weren't interested.
"You want us to do the dirty work of killing Solaris and make you the next king provided that you become a vassal kingdom for Sablestone."
Sirius's face tensed as he heard this. 'So this is what Zayne meant about the skill that could read other people's minds!' He thought as he clenched his fists.
"We'll pass. If you have nothing of value then you may take your exit." Ashley added on as her tone was full of scorn and scrutiny. 'What is this excuse of a roach bothering us?!'
Her mind was irritated with his presence and wanted to turn his body into paste however Andrew held her back.
"Sirius. You're a crafty individual. So if I were you, then I would have already started leaving Rien." Andrew scoffed as a servant came into the room.
She made a light pour of tea for them before taking her leave. Andrew sat up straight as he got off Ashley's thighs and the force making Sirius look away from the two was withdrawn.
However he couldn't look at Ashley but he could now look at Andrew.
*Snap*
With the snap of her fingers, Ashley's figure disappeared from the room leaving Andrew and Sirius alone in it. He was baffled with how she did that as he didn't sense any mana come from her presence however he had more pressing matters to deal with.
"If such a tempting offer fails to convince you then what about becoming one of your servants." Andrew barely held back his laughter as he heard this.
"I'm sorry Sirius but I'm not into guys and Ashley won't let anyone near her if not me thus I'll pass. As for your truce, you might have higher chances of you breaking through into the seventh tier than reaching a truce with me."
He mused in between his smiles as he recalled what Sirius had posed.
"What a shame! However that will be all." Sirius finished off as he prepared himself to leave. "I never said you could leave." Andrew said softly as he took a light sip of his tea.
Sirius's figure returned back to the chair that he was in as he pleaded for forgiveness. "How could I have made such a fatal error? Please forgive me Rhys."
"You're absolutely right! How could you have made such a silly mistake?!" Andrew laughed as the sound of flesh collapsed to the floor. A sharp sting assaulted Sirius's body and looking at what was on the floor, it was both his legs.
They had been completely chopped off leaving him completely lame. "Arrg-" His screams came to a halt as Andrew raised his finger.
"Do you think that this is some market place for you to holler so blatantly? Keep your voice down." He spoke in such a refined and calm manner that contrasted his actions.
Sirius took in deep breathes as he tried to prevent himself from shrieking and screaming as he cast healing spells over it.
"Don't bother." Andrew added on which made Sirius run into a wall. 'Why isn't it working? The potions don't work as well!' He mused as he felt that the situation he was in was getting worse and worse.
His body was still bleeding profusely from the amputation that he had unwillingly received from Andrew and couldn't now walk let alone fight back.
"This should be over in a matter of seconds." He murmured as he holstered Sirius's body slow into the air.
An astounding pressure assaulted his body however similar to an ant being crushed by a thumb, he could feel his body give way.
*Crack*
The sounds of bones could be heard coming from his arms. Andrew tilted his head as he looked at Sirius's figure as he kept on going with his work of art.
"Aaahhh!!!" His screams were reverberating throughout the room before Andrew grew weary of it.
A casual slice of his throat was enough to silence it as he kept on going. His phalanx was visible along with arteries which spewed blood everywhere however to contain it, his blood seemed to hover next to him never hitting the ground.
*Crack*
Several more cracks could be heard as Andrew twisted and sculpted Sirius's body to his whim. Both his elbows were twisted in the opposite direction, exposing his bone marrow and with his lower torso chopped off, he was less humane in comparison to before.
"Ah!" A sigh escaping Andrew's lips signifying that he was fine playing with Sirius was what brought this purgatory of his to an end.
The blood that had been coalescing next to him form two huge scythes which stabbed him through his eye sockets.
Despite the pain that he felt, he couldn't scream for help as Andrew kept on twisting the scythes till he dug deep enough into his head and reaching his brain.
"Consider this a lobotomy on the fly." Andrew joked as the tips of the scythes brushed across Sirius's brain before dissecting both hemispheres into two halves of their own.
He then pulled the scythes downwards which made easy work of his torso gutting him in half similar to a fish.
From his mouth cavity all the way through his gut till reaching his stomach which spewed acid all over the rest of his organs before reaching his pelvis.
Like slicing through butter, Sirius's upper torso was done in a matter of moments. Both sides were suspended in the air by the two blood scythes as Andrew completely lost interest in his body.
'What to do with this?' He mused before an idea sparked in his brain. He formed a small black hole which gathered all the bits and pieces of Sirius's body and legs before mushing them all together to form a bizarre mass of flesh.
Organs, bones and marrow could be seen making the sight rather grotesque to the naked eye as fluids dripped all over his body. His spine was bent in a weird manner covering the whole mass similar to a bow tie.
He opened another black hole which acted as a gateway and threw his body through it along with the blood which coated his body. The sight in general was nauseating and it was no longer his problem.
He collapsed down into his seat as the holographic image of the Felir changed and presented another image. It was a humanoid shape as she made her way through the terrain.
Naturally it was Lirien. At first he hadn't thought much of her but now, he deemed her as worthy.
"The cookies are done." Ashley came back with a small tray with freshly baked cookies. Along with it were two glasses of milk to which Andrew's interest piqued once more.
...
Solaris who had been planning his advances on how to deal with the pair was assaulted with a heap of revolting and gut wrenching flesh that appeared out of nowhere in his office.
"Hah! Hah!" He barely held himself back from throwing up as he examined the flesh. It was bathed in blood with bones protruding all over it in weird and uncanny ways.
Some of the organs were bathed in stomach acid while others seemed to be mangled and twisted by a string force. 'To think that such a freak of nature was once human.'
However what drew his interest was the small mana stone present on it. As he drew closer to it, he realized who it was. "Sirius?!!" His shock rose as he saw a small mana stone embedded in his left eye.
It was jade green, however a mixture of emotions welled deep inside him. Anger, helplessness and pain were the few that encapsulated his mind.
Despite Sirius revoking his position and abandoning his kingdom, he was still his son regardless and cared for him immensely.
'To think that those monsters would kill him off in such a fashion. Do they really have no heart?' He thought as he grabbed the jade mana stone out of his son's eye.
Crushing it, he saw the replay of Andrew's image conveying a message to him. "Solaris, this is a message and only the beginning of what is about to come. As for the war, you'll play a game of defense. Just ward off the hordes and if you survive then we'll and good however if fail, I'm sure you know what will happen."
Solaris's rage was growing at an astronomical level. It was understandable for him as he clenched his fists so hard that blood formed underneath his nails. He crashed into his chair as he clutched the bridge of his nose.
His helplessness was reigning in his mind as he felt a little bit of fear from that message.
"Play defense? But for him to state this would mean that he would need to have an army to ambush us. The distance between here and Sablestone is too huge to arrive here in two days thus maybe another horde."
"Maybe he is in alliance with the demonic queen?" Solaris mused as he found that this was the only way for him to gain an army so quickly and in such a short period of time.
