Red Crystal

The ten Paladins that the crown prince had dispatched were either slain or decapacitated. But their sacrifice was to give the prince some time to prepare his ultimate plan, an unprecedented spectacle that almost none of the population of the continent had ever witnessed.

"So the captain has been defeated." 

Outside the king's tent, Richard XVI took a deep breath as he watched his army get overwhelmed by his younger brother's. Next to him was his henchman, who was holding the box containing something ominous. 

"Master, are you sure you want to do it by yourself? Taking it might cost you your life." 

"Hmph. I don't care." 

The prince shrugged off the man's warning before grabbing the box. He then opened it and a couple of assorted colored crystal shards were faintly glowing like heartbeats inside the box. Those were actually data crystals, with each one having specific effects.
