journey to the wastelands (1)

"And tell me who said anything destroying it?" The female softly said, her peery eyes staring a hole through max soul.

'Who is she?' Max wondered also staring at her. He didn't recognize her from anywhere in the castle, but he could clearly see she was among the four individuals with powerful aura's staring at her.

'Was she standing there the whole time?' Kyle didn't notice her presence since he entered, as he'd been caught up in other matters.

'Hmm.. Lilith might have a rival.' Kyle smirked chuckling a bit. The woman in front, who looked to be in her thirties beauty could be considered on the same par as his demon wife.

She had an enchanting yet cold appearance with pale skin, blue eyes, soft white long snowy hair reaching her waist. Her attire was a blue sleeveless dress sweeping the floors, several beautiful patterns and embroideries with blue glowing stones, adorned across the dress. Giving it a sophisticated yet elegant design, which added more to her divine goddess beauty.

"Didn't your filthy parents tell you it's rude to stare at someone? Especially if that someone is of high class." Elsa rudely said, her face a mixture of anger and disgust.

"First of all my parents aren't filthy, they're much more cleaner than you'll ever be slut!" Kyle retorded back at her, making everyone gasp except troy and Boris who both had calm looks.

"And second, I don't have any problem bringing you down on your knees where you belong." Kyle scoffed in disdain. He could accept any insult directed to him, but not his parents. They were the ones that brought him to the world, and cared for him. Though he wasn't that much of a trouble maker, he did get his parents into some minor scuffles. But he would always love them, and won't tolerate any insult directed to them.

"Oh.. I see you've grown some guts peasant." Elsa's lazy blue eyes widened a bit with interest. "Good.. I always do like my victims to have some balls before they die." She said as three shards formed in the blink of an eye, shooting at Kyle with precision and terrifying speed.

The shards had reached Kyle in millimeters of seconds, but before they impacted him a figure appeared in front. Three slash lines were made, as the ice shards were destroyed.

"What are you doing Elsa? Trying to kill the bug before he gets the chance to rescue Lumia?" Troy frowned, sheathing back saint in the gold and back casing.

'W-what just happened.' Kyle wondered, staring at troy who was now in front.

'How did he get here so fast?' The last thing he recalled was troy seated on the throne, so how did he appear in his front so fast? He didn't need a clarification, as he saw the pieces of the ice shards and his mind quickly assembled the puzzles.

'T-this bitch, she attacked me!' Kyle inwardly thought, a vein bulging on the side of his head.

'But why didn't I see her attacks?' Kyle wondered, his mind didn't have time to process her attack. Normally he could see Boris, eldren's, and Darwin's attacks but this pale skinned lady was different.

'Were they holding back?' When Kyle fought with the previous three, he'd sensed they weren't going all out, as he guessed they were on the same power level as troy.

"Hmph! I was just testing the slave troy.. this peasant is a joke. if he can't dodge my attacks, then he doesn't stand a chance against Lynn. You're just wasting time and sending this trash to his death." Elsa coldly said walking away, leaving room once again in silence.

"I-i have faith in him." Troy calmly said, earning different awkward glares from everyone including Kyle.

'What the hell is wrong with him?' Kyle wondered examining troy. At first, he'd thought the latter was suffering some side effects from being in a coma for two years. But now, it just seemed like troy had finally ran mad.

Stopping, Elsa glanced a look at troy. "And why is it you have faith in him? Just because he made waves in the hunger games, doesn't mean he's worthy to fight lynn. This is real life troy, stop obessing over fantasies."

"I've made my choice." Troy boldly said making Elsa frown more, darting a cold look at Kyle before leaving the room.

"Well that was better than my favourite telenovelas." Boris blurted out, earning a nudge from eldren and a glare reading: 'shut the hell up!'

Closing the distance between him and Kyle in an instant, troy leaned in muttering some words in Kyle's ear. "whatever you are.. bring my daughters back safely or you'll wish you died in the wastelands."

With that troy then steadily walked away, leaving Kyle in an awkward spot as all eyes were on him.

"Seriously boy.. are you just bad luck or you weren't born with any shroud of good luck." Boris heartily laughed without a care in the world.

"Pay no attention to Boris child, we're all counting on you. including this old meany." eldren softly smiled with a light nod.

"Yeah.. you can do it Kyle, we all believe in you. Rescue the both princesses and we can all live as a family!" Ona yelled, but immediately covered her mouth realizing her mistake.

'Shit! why did I say that out loud.' she cursed, covering her face a bit with her hands. She could tell everyone in the room now had their eyes on her, including Kyle.

"Ahh!" She suddenly screamed, hurriedly storming out the room unable to take much more of the embarrassment.

"Hmm.. women!" Boris scoffed folding his arms.

"Anyways you should be on your way now, the guards will escort you outside." Eldren intervened, gesturing his hand towards the door. Giving a slight nod, Kyle then turned round following behind a group of ten guards. As he was then led outside the throne room.

'Has everyone lost their minds today?' Kyle wondered, seeing how everyone acted strange today than usual. Shaking his head he dismissed the thought, preparing himself for the task ahead.

'Ding!'

The elevator made a ding sound with the glass doors sliding open. Exiting it, the group then passed various security checkpoints, until they finally exited the caste.

'How the hell do they plan on getting pass this?' When he trained with Boris, he saw different guards attempting numerous ways to destroy the huge dome, all to which was futile.

'How did she conjure up such a powerful dome? I mean it's literally pulsing with more power everyday.' Walking closer, Kyle could see a figure in front standing behind the dome. His face immediately contorted into a frown, recognizing the silhouette.

'What the hell is she doing here?' Kyle frowned more, seeing the annoying pale skinned woman from before.

"Trust me when I say this.. I wouldn't be seen dead here, standing with a piece of garbage trash peasant like you." She scowled, earning a murderous glare from Kyle.

"You're asking for it bitch." Kyle fumed, his rage boiling more with his fist tightly clenched. He wasn't that patient, and right now this spoilt royal brat was pushing him beyond his limit.

"But anyways.. Lumia needs help. Trust me you would've been my last choice, but if troy has faith in you then so be it." Without warning she stretched her hand to Kyle, as the atmosphere suddenly plummeted. the air becoming more denser and chilly.

The guards stepped back some couple of feats, as Elsa activated her ability. Seemingly predicting the outcome.

"W-what are you doing to me!" Kyle roread, he was unable to move his lower body for some reason. Looking down, that when he saw it.

"Y-you sadistic bitch! you froze my legs!" Kyle yelled seeing his legs were covered in ice.

"I didn't freeze your legs idiot, am freezing your whole body." Else scoffed with a smug look.

[User is dying!]

[Hp: 50/100]

In just the blink of an eye his hp had been halved. As if that wasn't enough, the ice continued spreading from his lower body, enveloping him completely.

"How I want to badly keep him like this in my trophy room with the others." Elsa sadly said touch Kyle's frozen body.

"I-is she for real.. don't tell me this crazy lady has a trophy room full of frozen humans." Sky muttered shaking his pants off. It wasn't only him, as Ben and the rest guards were also shaking in fear looking at a monster.

'Hmhmm.. I didn't know I was referred to as a monster.' Elsa inwardly chuckled hearing the guards whispers. Shaking her head, she then gave Kyle's frame a light push as it slid across, passing through the dome with ease.

The ice on his body then slowly dissolved into water, with Kyle falling to the floor shivering.

"Since the whole kingdom's counting on you peasant, I might as well give you a hint. The dome is a skill from Lynn's ability, which is spatial lock. You see, it was created to keep living things in it for as long as the user's mana lasted." Elsa softly said, seeing Kyle raised his head a bit listening to her.

"That's why I had to freeze every molecules in your body, therefore killing you for a while." She softly giggled with a crazed smile. You're lucky though. this was my first attempt trying it on someone else. It's a very difficult process and to be honest, I thought you'd die, but frustratingly you didn't."

Shaking her head, she was about leaving before she was stopped by Kyle.

"T-transport~" Kyle barely stuttered, still suffering from the effects of being frozen alive.

"Huh? Transport.. what do you think this is, a joyride!" Elsa scoffed walking away with the guards, leaving Kyle alone, again.
