Chapter 256: Kill Me
King Troy’s throne room was dimly lit, the only sound the soft hum of the holographic display projecting before him. Reze, the brilliant scientist, stood before the screen, her eyes fixed on the data streaming across its surface.
"Your Majesty." She began, her voice crisp. "I’ve received an update on the situation with Kyle and the space guard group he...acquired."
Troy’s eyes narrowed, his expression unreadable. "Go on."
Reze nodded, her fingers flying across the holographic interface. The screen flickered, displaying a grainy image of Kyle’s ship descending onto Kraken’s surface.
"They landed approximately 72 hours ago, sire. Initial reports indicate they encountered a Krael, one of Kraken’s most powerful servants."
Troy’s grip on the armrest tightened. "A Krael? That’s not good."
He didn’t speak out of pity or concern for Kyle, but his own citizens and guards that’d accompanied Kyle in the mission.
Reze nodded, her eyes somber. "They managed to take down the Krael, but not without casualties. The ship’s engines were overloaded, and Kyle ordered a retreat."
"I see~" Troy gritted his teeth, controlling his boiling rage.
The loss of soldiers were a considerable hit to him, considering the events of the kingdom. While they’d awakened, their powers were still foreign and yet to be activated or known.
And the death of over 50 individuals, from the effects of the world tears made it all the more enraging.
"What’s next?" Troy asked, watching the scene with focused eyes.
