The King Was Born – Part 1

The overheated destructive beam dissipated moments later giving vision to Uvon in an almost pitiful state.

Part of its wings were destroyed, bloody and disgusting wounds were visible.

Rowen did not hesitate.

Translocation has been enabled.

He used all his strength, speed, and dexterity to make a deadly cut. The ant beside him was replaced by Uvon who still looked out of place.

Nerpheri made a brief movement of leg and body creating cracks in the floor, but stopped his advance as soon as he felt something.

The two swords descended like a death announcement. Uvon's eyes returned to focus and at the last moment the swords crashed into something that exploded.

Uvon had crumbled or something.

Rowen's golden eyes darted around him and observed something strange.

Uvon had multiplied into thousands of small versions of himself the size of common bees.

Like a plague, the thousands of Uvon flew and began to devour the vital energy of countless ants and so their wounds were being regenerated.

For the first time, Rowen sighed, but her expression didn't change. He was gradually becoming exhausted, physically and mentally. His MP was running out and soon, he could not fight.

"I think it's time to go." he muttered without worrying if they were listening to him, for he knew they were.

Blink was activated and he reappeared next to the slave, Tawnne, but he still didn't know his name.

"So, super speed, force field and weapons manifestation?"

Tawnne, who thought herself to be cold and expressionless, was taken aback by Rowen's casual tone and blank eyes.

He even had his back to his enemies and was talking to Tawnne head-on.

"Huh… yes…?"

Rowen took two steps and stood next to Tawnne.

"Create a force field around us as strong and resilient as possible. I need a few seconds." Rowen said quietly and opened her status window.

In a form of wind and dust, Nerpheri crossed the distance to them and with his sharp and powerful claws attacked.

"Wait... What...?"

Tawnne stepped back in surprise and a little confused and then, reflexively, activated the shield that lasted only a few moments before breaking like glass, but it served its purpose.

Nerpheri was pushed back feeling a part of his attack being reflected to her.

Taking advantage of this moment, Tawnne focused and used all her MP to create the most powerful force field he could.

Rowen, on the other hand, neither winked or backed away, merely focused her attention on her status window.

(…..)

Without hesitation, he put 200 points in Intelligence and 100 points in Wisdom.

Meanwhile Nerpheri gritted his teeth in anger and slid across the floor like a four-legged cat.

Cracks appeared and in the blink of an eye she was already in the air attacking the shield nonstop with countless Martian attacks and sometimes animalistic with its claws and tail.

The shield shook and gradually cracks began to emerge. Taran joined the party by flapping his wings and hovering in midair. He opened them and hit them creating a strong gust of wind with countless blades of wind that flew fiercely against the shield.

Sweat began to form on Tawnne's station and he gritted his teeth by putting all the MP that was regenerated into the shield and managing to regenerate some cracks.

"I won't last much longer." he warned.

"It will be long enough." Rowen replied without taking her eyes off her open skills window, but only he could see.

Without hesitation, Rowen leveled Translocation to level 56, decreasing skill release time from 1.8 to the final limit, 0.1 second.

He also leveled the Blink skill to level 61, which decreases the cooldown from 6.1 seconds to 4 seconds.

From 1.251 Skill Points, there are only 632 Skill Points left.

He closed the windows and swept the whole place with his calm and almost curious eyes.

"When you're done…" Tawnne gritted her teeth almost trembling as he tried as hard as he could to maintain the force field.

"One more minute…" Rowen replied without taking her eyes off the queen. "We'll be far from this place."

Around, Aaron and Marcel were fighting Uvon.

Waves of ice were rising almost all the time, as were fire-free explosions from Uvon's giant flower thorns that crashed into the ice walls and broke them.

The skill that turned his green eyes into two golden werewolf-like rings on television series hasn't been deactivated for over 15 minutes.

Although he had not instinctively read the description of the skill, Rowen knew that this skill was constantly consuming MP, but at the same time was increasing all her stats, and that included the stat, Luck.

It was kind of ironic, a skill that costs MP, was slowly increasing both Intelligence and Wisdom while active.

Sonar was released as soon as it started to enable Translocation.

Everything within 500 meters around it was under his radar like a kind of X-ray view.

He wasn't seeing things, but just getting the information about everything: size, mass, shape, weight and location, even if he was on the move.

His mental processing ability was already at a level he was able to see and react to something that moved above the speed of sound, but only in thought, and that was all he needed to enable Translocation on target, or Blink skill in itself.

Over 500 meters away, hidden behind a pillar, was a slave biting his nails as he kept his breath as calm as possible.

He was terrified and his heart was racing.

It was obvious to Rowen that all the royal guards, especially Nerpheri, knew of his existence.

His eyes never left the queen.

Nerpheri was in mid-air with his fists clenched and his blow would definitely destroy the force field. She would go with everything. She needed to protect the queen until the king was born and this human was plotting against her king's mother.

Taran, in mid-air more than ten meters away from them, spread his wings and wind arrows and possibly a tornado, would hit Rowen and Tawnne in full a moment after the force field fell.

Nagan stood beside the rain holding the force field over the Chimera-Ants mother.

A tear began to appear in the cocoon.

Like Doflamingo, Aaron created a wave of spiked ice behind him like a nine-tailed fox that would be extended like missiles against Uvon.

Already Uvon was in mid-air using the back of his right arm as a shield against Marcel's gross kick, who was using his teleport to attack Uvon with numerous powerful blows and now, with his strong kick, Uvon would be launched toward the imminent attack. from Aaron.

And it all seemed to be in slow motion to Rowen's eyes. Her body might not move fast enough to react to everything yet, but her mind was completely different.

Everything would happen within 2 seconds, but Rowen only needed 1 second or less to make his move.

And that's what he did.

Uvon swapped places with Aaron. A moment later, still within that single second, Uvon switched places with Taran.

In 0.3 seconds, Nerpheri swapped places with Marcel. In 0.4 seconds, Tawnne switched places with the queen and the cocoon that was trapped in her.

In 0.5 seconds, Uvon swapped places with Marcel. In 0.6 seconds, Rowen switched places with Marcel and the next instant, Rowen switched places with Nagan.

Almost a full second later, Rowen used Blink and the next instant was next to the hiding and biting slave.

Blink entered Cooldown, but it wasn't done yet.

When it was 1 second and almost everything was going into shock from attacks launched by almost everyone, Rowen activated Translocation and switched places with Tawnee.

Nerpheri almost diminished the power of his blow when he switched places, but with his enhanced senses, he continued when he saw that his new target was Aaron.

Many bones in the chest were broken and Aaron flew like a meteor to the ground and created a crater destroying almost everything in its path.

Nagan, who could not fly, found himself falling but managed to pull himself together and fall gently to the ground. Taran was hit by Aaron's still alive but pitiful body and they both rolled over and destroyed things.

Uvon found himself hit by countless air arrows with a strong gust of wind. Marcel found himself trapped inside the deflector field, as he could not teleport, and then he and the queen, who he almost had a heart attack from being side by side, were hit by Uvon and numerous wind arrows, as the deflector field collapsed by the attack and Tawnne not keeping it.

Aaron's attack, those ice missiles that look like tails of a nine-tailed fox, flew towards Nerpheri who simply forced his body like a feline, managed to use the ice attack as support and practically flew to the queen's rescue.

Halfway, she found herself bumping into a golden shield and where Rowen was.

Rowen switched places with Nerpheri and then used Blink and disappeared from that battlefield.

He reappeared beside the red-haired boy. Tawnne was already gone.

"Yo… It's all right, we can go." The red-haired boy gave a nervous salute.

Rowen just nodded. A portal of blue and circular purple smoke appeared behind the boy.

"Remember, the inventory doesn't accept the token." The red-haired boy said before entering the portal that closed shortly after leaving behind a stone plate resembling a Chinese mystical locket.

Rowen took the stone token in mid-air and put it in a pocket before using Blink to appear inside one of the thousands of underground tunnels.

Just behind him, he heard the roar of fury from one of the royal guards.

He didn't give a shit. His focus was to get out of that place without looking back.

But not everyone thinks so.

Nerpheri's eyes became slit. An aura of accumulated energy spilled over his muscles. The pressure her body emanated caused the floor below her to sink, creating a small crater that shattered as if beneath the surface it was hollow.

Nerpheri had disappeared. Moments later, a sudden gust of air passed through them and into a tunnel.
