World End: The Successor's Contract

Andrew immediately pulled his hand away from Hina's grasp which led to him falling to the ground butt-first.

"What the hell was that?" He asked forcefully, standing to his feet and looking at the rest of them with confusion.

"Relex, what you saw were flashes from past lives, you don't have to panic about it" Uta uttered before standing to her feet.

She walked over to Andrew who was still trying to compose himself from the flashes he saw.

She held his shoulder and gave a warm smile, "Do you remember, back at Fiora, when we were surrounded by Daizai and his people?" She asked.

Andrew looked at her before shaking his head, agreeing to the fact that he does remember.

She removed her hand and sat at the edge of the desk with her hand tucked, "It was at that moment I knew you were the Guardian Ankia, you activated your power to protect me".

"We Ankia can sense our kind, that is why even after three reincarnations we could still find each other" Uta voiced again.

Andrew looked at Selvin, "Did you also know about this?" He asked.

"Well duh, my sis was the head of the village, of course I know, my grandma been nagging me since birth about being the Judgement Ankia"

Slevin uttered with both his legs resting on the table and his back sleeping on the chair's back rest.

"I see then, and Zeno? Does he know?" Andrew inquired.

Hina sighed, "No he doesn't, we've explained but he doesn't know the full details and I'd like to keep it that way".

"The Ankia and Successor are known amongst kingdoms as legends, so why are you guys staying in a place like this, wouldn't staying with the royal house benefit you," Andrew asked again.

"You ask too many questions," Hina groaned before approaching him.

"I'm sorry, I can't help it, I'm curious"

Hina stood in front of him, with both of them being the same height It was hard for neither of them to look intimidating.

"All you need to know is, we are here for one reason only, to guide and protect Zeno, understood?" Hina asked.

"I have to-"

One of the maids at Zeno's office walked in on their conversation before bowing her head.

"Pardon my intrusion, but Lord Zeno would like to meet everyone in the office" She reported.

. . . . . . .

When they all arrived at where Zeno was, they met a bunch of people surrounded at a spot outside Zeno's office.

They were standing opposite each other, and right in the middle of them was Zeno who was pointing at the map on the ground.

Uta and Hina walked up to Zeno, ignoring the rest of the people that were there. The sound of her people mummering echoed throughout the place.

"What's going on?" Uta asked Zeno as she approached him.

Zeno reacted to the voice he heard and turned to see Uta, Hina and the rest of his generals walking behind her.

"Oh great, you guys are here already" Zeno uttered, he left the crowd and walked toward them.

"What's this about?" Hina asked.

Truk also walked out of the crowd and appeared beside Zeno, "Are these the attendants you spoke of?" He asked.

"Yes, come let's go inside" Zeno turned and headed inside his office with Truk following behind him.

Hina looked at Uta and saw that she was just as confused about the whole thing, Hine sighed before approaching the office too.

When they entered the office, Zeno sat down on his chair with his office table in front of him.

The Rizaha's generals, Boss Slayer, Komado, and Elsa were present there when Hina and the rest walked in.

They settled down on the chair that was opposite the couch Truk was sitting on with his own generals.

While the rest of them sat on the couch, Uta insisted on standing behind Zeno as he spoke.

Zeno sighed, resting his jaw on his hand as he began to look at their faces one by one.

"I'm sure you are all wondering why I called this sudden meeting" Zeno uttered.

"Well, to put it simply, I have a plan to wipe out all the Glinx in the red district in just... three days" Zeno voiced with a confident smile on his face.

"You're joking right?" Selvin shouted in shock.

The red district was the name given to the villages that resided in that area, Rizaha, Fiora, Hamadan, and Toromon.

These are the four villages that resided in the red district, are located opposite each other leaving the middle a wasteland known as a neutral ground.

"I get that the red district has the lowest rate of Glinx attacks, but still… that's only because we have the shinoku plants with us… there's no way you can possibly wipe them all out!" Selvin voiced standing to his feet.

"Relax"

Zeno uttered, he reached for his drawer and pulled out a map before walking to where everyone was seated.

He placed the map on the center table and pointed his finger at the neutral grounds.

"What if I told you, I know a way we could trap them all here, then wipe them out like that in one go" Zeno said with a calm voice.

Selvin opened his mouth In shock as he stared at the patterns of the pawns we placed on the map.

"When did you come up with this?" Hina asked, staring profoundly at the map.

"Been planning it for a while, just didn't want to let it out until I knew it would work" Zeno replied.

"Amazing" Boss slayer smirked, "You never fail to amaze me, Lord Zeno".

"I'm just as shocked as you guys, it's crazy but if it works, we won't have to worry about these damn monsters anymore" Truk sighed.

Zeno laughed, "Glad to see you guys are happy about it, why don't I go ahead and explain the plan".

"It's no secret that the shinoku plant helps keep the Glinx away, a few villages have them, but even with that, those plants don't last more than four days.

So my plan needs to be executed in two days, worse comes to shove, three days at most".

While Zeno was explaining, nobody uttered a single word, instead, they just listened with their face focused on the map.

"Here is what we are going to do… I want Slevin to gather as many of the Shinoku plants he can get from the fields at sunrise tomorrow" Zeno requested.

"Sure no problem, my team and I can do that, but what do you need so many for?" Slevin asked.

"We're going to focus the Glinx to a corner, Hina and her squad will head to the Tamron village and tell them to use the plants around their province,"

"Understood," Hina responded.

"With that done, the Glinxs who are outside the village will be forced back while the other ones in will have to find refuge in another village"

"But there'll be Shinoku plants there too, so they'll have no choice but to move again to a clear spot where they can't come in contact with the plant… awesome.." Uta giggled before wrapping her hands around Zeno's neck.

"Exactly yes." Zeno smiled as he tried to maintain his balance from Uta's weight on his body.

"Restrain yourself, you demon!" Hina yelled.

"This is truly amazing," Elsa said, "it's so crazy it might actually work".

"Well that's the plan" Zeno responded, "Else and her team will take the Hamadan village and help lord Turk position the plants, but we have one problem with the other village, Fiora." Zeno sighed.

They all remembered when they literally threatened the village and their leader Dazai who was kidnapping their women.

Boss slayer smirked, "Let me go, I'll talk some sense into them,".

"Thanks, dude… but I don't think you can-"

"Come-on lord Zeno let me do this." Boss slayer requested, slamming his palm together as he begged.

Zeno sighed wih an awkward smile, " Okay, fine but avoid combat, we need them to be cooperative." Zeno uttered.

"Don't worry lord Zeno I got this!" Boss Slayer said before smirking in excitement.

Zeno sighed, 'Somehow I doubt he does,' He thought to himself.

Zeno looked at all the generals in the room, "Let's get this done... and if this works, we can put an end to the reign of the Glinx as we know them".
