Conquering The Novel

Chapter 280  Queen Arabella's Death!

Before the fall of Queen Arabella~

Beep— Beep— Beep

Amidst the blaring alarms, Ares stood resolute in the Barrier control room, surrounded by the lifeless bodies of the mages he had swiftly dispatched.

The chaos of Elaine's assault had divided the guards, some rushing to protect the queen and princes, while others converged on Ares' location.

Step— Step— Step

Their hurried footsteps reverberated through the corridors, signaling their intent to confront Ares head-on. Yet, he remained steadfast, unyielding in the face of the impending threat.

"Master, the army of guards is approaching. Shall we join you in dealing with them?" Meira's telepathic voice reached Ares.

"No need," Ares replied calmly. "Remain where you are and handle the Shadow Organization members," he instructed.

"....."

Irethiel voiced her concern, worried about Ares facing a formidable army of troops alone. "...Are you sure about this, Ares? They're all highly skilled, ranging from B to S ranks. Will you be able to handle them?"

Ares grinned, a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. "I've been waiting to put this skill to the test. Don't worry about me; focus on your part in dealing with the Shadow Organization," he reassured her.

"...Alright, I'll trust in your abilities," Irethiel replied, placing her faith in him.

'It's time to test the true power of this skill,' Ares contemplated with a mischievous grin, his left eye crackling with raw electricity.

"He's here! Get him!" one of the knights exclaimed, spotting Ares amidst the army of troops.

"Clear a path! His head is mine!" an enthusiastic knight exclaimed, driven by the enticing reward for bringing Ares's head.

Meanwhile, Ares remained calm, his smirk unyielding. As the army closed in, he muttered under his breath, his eyes widening, and the crackling electricity intensifying in his left eye.

"Eye...of chaos!" he uttered.

Swoosh—

As soon as the skill Eye of Chaos was unleashed, a blinding surge of energy erupted from Ares's left eye, engulfing the entire room in a tempest of raw power.

The air crackled with an intense electric charge, causing hair to stand on end and sending sparks dancing across the room. The walls trembled and groaned under the strain, unable to contain the unleashed chaos.

With an ear-splitting roar, the ground beneath Ares's feet fractured, forming deep ravines that snaked their way through the room. Cracks spread like wildfire, splintering the once-solid floor into a mosaic of destruction.

Chunks of stone and debris were torn from the walls and ceiling, HAAA!!—

hurtling through the air like missiles as the room disintegrated under immense force. The soldiers, caught in the maelstrom, desperately shielded themselves from the onslaught, but to no avail.

HAAA!!—

Ares let out a powerful roar as he channeled the energy of chaos within him, intensifying the devastating effects of his skill. The pulsating energy from his left eye expanded outward in a shockwave, ripping through the remains of the already damaged room.

The shockwave crashed into the army with a thunderous impact. The soldiers were thrown into disarray as the sheer force of the chaotic energy tore through their ranks. Armor shattered, shields splintered, and bodies were tossed aside like discarded dolls.

The destructive energy surged through the castle, branching out into adjoining rooms and corridors. Walls crumbled under the onslaught, sending plumes of dust and debris into the air.

The once mighty castle, a symbol of strength and power, now trembled under the weight of Ares' unleashed chaos.

BOOM— BOOM— BOOM

Explosions echoed throughout the castle as the chaotic energy consumed everything in its path. Furniture disintegrated, tapestries caught fire, and the very essence of order and stability was obliterated.

The destructive rampage left behind a trail of devastation, transforming the once pristine castle into a twisted labyrinth of destruction.

As the energy began to dissipate, the room fell into an eerie silence, punctuated only by the faint crackling of embers and the settling of debris. Ares stood amidst the wreckage, his body heaving with exertion.

The room around him was a tattered ruin, with shattered remnants of what was once a barrier control room.

And the once formidable army had been reduced to mere ashes, scattered across the remnants of the floor. Their futile attempts to defend against the unstoppable power of the Eye of Chaos lay in ruins.

Haaa~

Ares took a moment to assess the aftermath of his unleashed power. His eyes still glowed with remnants of the chaotic energy, a testament to the havoc he had wrought.

"....."

"...Seems like chaos has its advantages," Ares remarked to himself, his gaze fixed on the path of destruction left by his skill, a mix of satisfaction and disbelief coloring his voice.

He reached into his inventory and retrieved an advanced mana potion, quickly uncorking it and downing its contents in a single gulp. The power of the skill had drained him significantly, and he needed to replenish his mana reserves to continue the onslaught.

As he chugged the potion, thoughts raced through Ares's mind. Controlling the skill and managing his mana usage effectively would be crucial for him to unleash its destructive potential more frequently, without the risk of being left vulnerable after a single attack.

"I hope I can find the balance soon," Ares muttered, his determination resolute.

Meanwhile, through the Bluetooth earpiece, she wore, Elaine's voice chimed in. "Did you not warn me to avoid unnecessary destruction, Ares? Well, it's not like I'm complaining. I do enjoy a good explosion," she chuckled mischievously.

Ares sighed, slightly annoyed. "True, but it was you who initiated the assault on the castle," he retorted.

Changing the topic, Elaine continued, "I have taken down the Queen. What do you want me to do with her?" Her curiosity was piqued, and she awaited Ares's decision.

Ares didn't hesitate with his response. "Kill her," he stated coldly, his decision made.

Elaine paused for a moment, processing his words. Then, a wicked smile curled on her lips. "I see. But do you happen to have a taste for...incest? She could be an interesting addition—"

Ares abruptly cut her off, his voice firm and resolute. "No, I have no interest in that. Just eliminate her," he declared, his tone leaving no room for debate.

Without waiting for a response, Ares removed the Bluetooth earpiece from his ear, severing the connection. His focus now shifted to his next target: Artin.

As he strode purposefully through the crumbling castle, Ares prepared himself for the confrontation ahead.

***

Tick—

"Ah, ok—" Before Elaine could utter another word, her connection with Ares abruptly ended, leaving her alone with Queen Arabella.

"....."

"Well, it seems he is not interested in having you as one of his conquests," Elaine spoke with a tinge of disappointment. "It's truly a shame to end the life of such a strong woman like you. But alas, my husband's words are final. This is where your reign ends, Queen Arabella," she added, shaking her head in resignation.

"W-Wait! Y-You can't kill me. The Hero Association will come after you—"

Arabella desperately pleaded for her life, hoping to appeal to Elaine's reason. But her words fell on deaf ears as Elaine had already made up her mind.

"I don't care if the whole world comes after me. I will do whatever it takes to stay by his side, even if I have to defy the entire world," Elaine declared with unwavering determination.

!!

Arabella's eyes widened with a mixture of fear and disbelief. She realized that she was facing an opponent who had thrown everything away for her twisted love and devotion to Ares. The reality of her imminent demise loomed over her, and she struggled to come to terms with her fate.

Elaine took a calculated step closer, her expression cold and devoid of mercy or remorse. With an outstretched hand, she conjured a ball of swirling golden energy, crackling with raw power. The atmosphere itself seemed to tremble in its presence, amplifying Arabella's dread.

"This is the end for you, Arabella. Farewell," Elaine uttered coldly, her eyes gleaming with a fanatic zeal.

As the ball of energy grew brighter and more volatile in her hand, Elaine took one last look at Arabella. Then, with a swift motion, she hurled the deadly projectile toward the helpless queen.

Swish–

The ball of swirling energy hurtled through the air, closing the distance between Elaine and Queen Arabella with deadly speed. Arabella's eyes widened in terror as she braced herself for the inevitable.

BOOM!

The blast erupted with a deafening roar, engulfing Arabella in a blinding explosion of golden light. The force of the impact shook the surroundings, causing debris to rain down around them.

When the dust settled, all that remained of Queen Arabella was a lifeless figure lying amidst the wreckage. Her body was charred and mangled, a tragic testament to the power of Elaine's attack.

And with that, the last breath of Queen Arabella was extinguished, her once formidable presence forever silenced.
