Chapter 362 Another Alcatraz.
“Is it an earthquake!?”
“The entire floor is shaking!”
“Are they fighting up there again!?”
Questions like these echoed across the lower floors as they felt the explosion from Gregory’s fight!
Rin and the others looked down in surprise as they saw the gravel under their feet vibrating! That was the biggest explosion they have felt since Gregory left! Was it finally done?
The portal to the side activated and Esse and Cersai lit up in joy as they saw Gregory walking through! There was blood running down from his head and one of his eyes was shut closed because of swelling. He was limping because he broke his leg and his right hand was completely shattered! The power he used to finally kill the beast made his right-hand break because it couldn’t handle the strain! The girls all saw this but they didn’t care about any of that! He was alive! That was the only thing that cared about! He can be healed easily but it is impossible to bring him back to life!.
Esse immediately jumped on him in joy and kissed him! Even though he was injured, Gregory still had more than enough strength to carry her and he gladly accepted her hug and kiss. Cersai was more reserved and she just gave him a wide smile from the side. She was really happy that he came back whole. Gregory saw Rin looking at him with a disappointed gaze and he stared back with hardened eyes to show her that this was his choice. She finally sighed and smiled at him as well! Even if he went somewhere dangerous, the important thing is that he came back alive. Rin didn’t know what she would do if her first son died. Han wouldn’t be happy at all.
Gregory smiled. He was happy that Rin didn’t make the matter too complex. He left to somewhere dangerous and he came back alive, that is all that matters. Gregory finally dropped Esse and he walked past everyone to stand in front of Esteroth! He put his hand it the side and his shadow opened up to drop a large snake head on the floor! All the girls had wide eyes as they looked at the head! They knew that the body must’ve been huge if the head if this large! What kind of monster did Esteroth send Gregory to fight!?
“There were some pests that got involved as well. It was a bit troublesome, but I still managed to kill them. Is this enough for you?”
Esteroth looked at Gregory with critical eyes. From the beginning, this has been the bet that the two of them made. Esteroth has always refused Gregory whenever Gregory begs him to fight him. Esteroth didn’t see Gregory as a worthy opponent and Esteroth only says that he would fight Han. But Gregory was unrelenting. Gregory knew that unless he can beat Esteroth, there is no way he can reach Han, so Gregory always begged Esteroth to fight him.
Esteroth finally cracked after a long time and told Gregory that if he can bring this monster’s head then he would fight him and that is the reason why Gregory went after the beast. Esteroth looked at the beast’s head and he knew that the beast didn’t even expect to die. The beast had wide eyes and it looked shocked by its own death! It was shocking that Gregory was strong enough to defeat it! Now that Gregory was this strong, not even Ratte would be a challenge for him. Gregory didn’t have many skills, but his raw power and agility were higher than any of the kings below Ratte. Esteroth turned around and started to walk away as he gave Gregory one sentence.
“Tomorrow at dawn, don’t be late,”
Gregory’s mouth split into a grin and he fell to his back tiredly! Finally! Rin told Esse to go call Rina so that she can help him with his injuries while Cersai was going to stay with him. Gregory was already unconscious so he didn’t even know what was going on.
…..
Gregory and the other girls weren’t the only ones working to increase their power, all the kings in the temple took Han’s advice to heart and they were now trying their best to increase the power of their army as much as possible. Ai and Quinthreath were working together as they trained their armies in different tactics. Quinthreath was happy that Han gave him back the castle to look after. Ever since Han left to go to a higher floor, Quinthreath became a king once again and he was now in charge of the fifty-second floor again.
When Yana came back home and told her parents that she was pregnant, Quinthreath almost shouted in pride! Quinthreath was a very old-fashioned person! His planet was a civilization that prioritize alliances and family more than anything! This is why Quinthreath was so adamant that his daughter should get married to Han! Quinthreath believed that Han would also prioritize family more than anything and no harm would come to Quinthreaths family as long as they were Hans allies! But it was still a shaky alliance because there was no blood relation between them! Marriage is not a very strong alliance and only blood was strong enough to make Quinthreath calm! And now that his daughter was carrying the child of King Han that only made it better! Their alliance was now perfect!
Yana was completely unaware of the happiness that her pregnancy brought to her father and she was just happy that her family was happy. Her two little brothers were curious about her pregnancy and they would usually come and see her every now and then. Yana spent most of her time with her mother and Dyana but Dyana was not always there because she would usually escape to the kitchen before anybody could stop her so Yana spent more time with her mother.
Dyana has already eaten every single dish that the Dragonborn could make and she was now trying to coerce a tiger feline that came from another planet to make her some food from that planet as well. Yana wondered where the hell all that food was going! Dyana wasn’t even growing fat at all! Yana was also eating a lot more because of her pregnancy, but she could never eat as much as Dyana! That woman is a monster!
…
Meanwhile, the chosen on floor sixty-three were busy preparing for a dangerous mission against a rogue group that was trying to go against asking Han. The rogue group was formed by a branch of the evil Alcatraz guild and they were trying to revive the tradition of killing other chosen to gain more power.
Rau was the leader of the group hoping to stop the guild. Rau was the same person that Han gave his spear to all those months ago. Since Han gave Rau his spear, Rau managed to form his own branch of chosen that was under him.
Rau lived on floor sixty-three and this was the territory of King Ratte! It wasn’t news to anyone that Ratte was a horrible king! He didn’t care about the people living in his territory! He only gave them a minimum amount of supplies and money each month through the council and he allowed them to do whatever they wanted with themselves!
This kind of neglect led to a civil war that almost ended with the civilians charging against the castle! It would have been stupid and many civilians would have died for nothing! But before any of this could happen, Rau managed to gather a large group of people together using Han’s name and he prevented the civil war from happening by killing the leader of the rebels. Even though Rau was only a white star, he has the spear that Han gave him! That spear was a king weapon and it would not lose to any white star! The spear doubled Rau’s agility and strength and it gave him enough power to fight and win against any other white star.
After he managed to stop the civil war, he was rewarded by the council that overlooked the civilians on floor sixty-three. Everyone was happy to follow him as a pseudo leader since Ratte was not interested in ever leading them! Ratte never even showed his face to them throughout the time when the civil war was happening! He didn’t even care! He knew that no matter what they did, they can never hurt him so why should he be bothered by what the ants are doing!? Ratte was Moore concerned with other things!
So Rau started to stand in as the fake leader whenever possible. It also helped him that his weapon was given to him by Han himself! That made people trust him more since the king of Kings gave him the weapon! Everyone knows and trusts Han and if Han gave someone a king’s weapon then that person must also be trustworthy!
“Make sure you come back quickly! And don’t fight too much, okay? Be safe!”
Rau turned to look at Grey that was lying on the bed in their bedroom. She was using a bedsheet to cover her chest and she was looking at him with worry in her eyes. Grey was Rau’s sister and the woman he fell in love with. The two of them ran away from their home a long time ago to be together and that is how they ran into Han. Rau knew that a lot of people frowned on their relationship, but Rau refused to hide his relationship with his sister. He still remembers what Han said to him a long time ago.
“Will you keep running forever? You’re going to have to face it eventually, why not now?”
Rau and Grey took this to heart and they decided to just openly have their relationships! Everyone knew that Rau was fucking his sister and none of them had any right to say anything! Most of them didn’t like it but Ray didn’t give a fuck!
Rau leaned down and kissed Grey with a smile.
“I won’t be long, it’s just a small fake guild trying to rise on floor sixty. I’ll be back before you know it. In the meantime try to make sure these idiots don’t do anything that can cause another civil war,”
Grey nodded with a laugh and Rau smiled as he activated his flight skill and flew out the window!
