Chapter 150: Xaos Tower’s subterranean level
A shocking scene assaulted the people of the Silent Wind Military Base as they saw Grand Marshal Anglius leaving the base along with nearly all the soldiers. Such a sight instilled fear in people, as without the soldiers, who could protect them from the hordes of demons and monsters that now covered the post-apocalyptic world?
It would be easy for fear to turn into chaos, causing the sense of order that had been rising over the last few weeks to crumble. Luckily, that did not happen since while hundreds of soldiers left the Silent Wind Military Base, a new figure made himself present for all to see. Of course, that presence was no other than the King of the Xaos Kingdom, Vlad Xaos.
The Xaos King’s presence immediately restored the sense of security that had been lost upon seeing the soldiers leave.
Speculation ran wild about Vlad’s whereabouts. While Grand Marshal Anglius and Chief Counselor Aloz stated that the King was in his residence for an important project that involved the kingdom’s safety, no one had seen him, and his absence for over a month fueled rumors and doubts.
Yet, the enigmatic figure who had single-handedly slain thousands of monsters was no longer in seclusion. Vlad now stood in plain sight, leading the civilians in their monumental task of constructing the new tower.
The sense of order remained firm with the presence of the King, and the civilians understood that the young man’s power was just as massive as that of hundreds of soldiers, especially when he was accompanied by the small yellow cat, which seemed to be the wrath of God, able to fire lightning that could destroy entire hordes.
There was also a new figure alongside the King and the Lord of Lightning, a gorgeous young woman named Freya. According to the communication from Chief Counselor Aloz, she was an ambassador from another powerful organization and should be referred to as Her Highness. The old man shared nothing more as it was beyond their clearance.
Freya’s stunning beauty was not her only remarkable trait. As people watched in awe, she effortlessly manipulated metal plates weighing several tons, defying the laws of physics. Her abilities were a testament to her strength and prowess, leaving everyone to wonder about her true relationship with the King.
Freya paid no attention to the gazes people threw at her. Her focus was on the tower being built, and she had to admit it was awe-inspiring.
