chapter 64

All the pictures and statues was not just simple artwork but in actuality guards in disguise. This was the same as they traveled throughout the huge palace. The bounty hunters were so nervous and excited that they did not notice that the "artwork" was slowly shifting in according to the movements of the bounty hunters.

The bounty hunters are some distance behind the messenger.

They begin to whisper among themselves,"This place is completely unguarded inside."

Another hunter speaks,"It so appalling that one such as commander Lowlance that he is left unguarded."

The three bounty hunters all shook their heads in disbelief. The messenger suddenly turned

around.

The messenger spoke,"Is there something wrong, gentlemen? Can I help you with something?

Otherwise we need to be moving swiftly or Commander Lowlance will get angry that we delayed our

coming!"

The three bounty hunters all gestured that nothing is wrong.

The messenger saluted then the three bounty hunters in response. They can now return to their journey to their commander.

The servant finally stops in front of a large set of doors.

The messenger speaks," This is the entrance to the throne room of the mighty Commander Lowlance and you must do as he says without question. If the commander asks you to die, then you must die. Let him do the questioning and do not lead the conversation. A Kozdazaki once did that and they were executed, within less than a second! You must not look at him until he starts speaking to you and do not forget to bow in the Commander's presence!"

The three bounty hunters nodded in agreement and saluted the messenger. The salute was then returned by the messenger.

The doors to the throne suddenly open and the four Kozdazakis walk in slowly. The four Kozdazakis bowed on one knee and they all looked towards the ground. The bounty hunters had knew to obey the messenger's instructions, so that they would have the chance to claim a prize.

A loud deafening voice comes from the front of the room," Messenger you can leave now! I will settle the matter from this point forward. You are not needed here anymore!"

The messenger saluted and left out of the room. The doors slam shut behind him by some unseen force.

Commander Lowlance spoke," Bounty hunters, you now have the honor to look upon my

powerful countenance!"

When the bounty hunters looked upon the commander they were all stunned, but they had

managed to keep their composure. They all knew that Lowlance killed all those that he perceived any possible form of weakness.

The commander, known as Lowlance is sitting in a huge throne made out of several types of

crystals. It is a very elegant looking throne and is probably very expensive to make. The commander is a very large man that is over twenty feet tall and over two-thousand pounds. He is wearing a red armor with black armor around the waist and under the armpits of the massive commander's arms. The hands of the commander are black. He has a large insect like horn in the front of his head starting from above his eyes to above head. There are two more similar horns at the sides of his head.

Lowlance is wearing a large metallic cape that is completely white in color. The eyes of Lowlance are black and insect like in shape. The main eyes are a compound eyes while two simple eyes are at the top of the forehead at each side of the large frontal horn.

The three bounty hunters were all in awe of the large commander. They had always heard that the greatest commanders need no protection but they had believed it to be simply malarkey. But they now had a sudden change of heart, since they could all barely tolerate to be in the awesome presence of Lowlance.

One of the bounty hunters," If Commander Lowlance was this strong siting upon his throne, then he must be much stronger in battle! The legends of the commander destroying whole enemy fleets on his own. This Commander Lowlance is a legit powerhouse!"

The commander speaks,"Why have you three disturbed my stay here? You have even brought with all that trash! What is the deal here, bounty hunters?"

The bounty hunters first showed them the bodies of Dackle and Akra.

One of the bounty hunters spoke,"Commander Lowlance, we have brought to you, these two

traitors that had chosen to rebel against the Leader and yourself by doing the heinous act of breeding together without ether the Leader's or your permission!"

Lowlance was livid by the acts and the whole throne room begins to rattle, due to the energy of their commander. It took all that the bounty hunters to remain upright and not fall over due to the powerful aura(outward form of one's internal power) of Lowlance.

After several minutes, Lowlance regains his composure and begins to return to the task at hand.

Lowlance was angered that one of his slaves had the gall to actually rebel against him. It frustrated the commander every time something was out of his control. Lowlance lusted after power perpetually and hated every second that he was not in control of everything around him.

Lowlance speaks," Good, you three have all done your jobs and obeyed the Leader and I. So what?"

One of the bounty hunters speak," When killing the two treasonous life bringers when determined that the offspring was a hidden one, my commander! You had given the order to find all potential hidden ones!"

The commander spoke,"What, that is impossible! You three are lying! Prove it to me!"

The bounty hunter holding the maimed comrade placing the dead body in front of the large commander.

Lowlance looks over the body of the fallen Kozdazaki and the body levitates in front of him in every considerable angle. The commander is performing a body scan on the fallen bounty hunter.

Then the body is flung by some invisible force against the wall behind the bounty hunters. The dead body is then crushed against the wall into nothingness.

The three bounty hunters could not help but watch as their fallen comrade being crushed into the wall.

Lowlance spoke,"Bounty hunters, that act took less than a third of a percent of my power (while on this throne) to destroy that former failure!"

The body hunters display of shock help feed the monstrous ego of Lowlance so he let their actions be overlooked.
