Chapter 127 Fall Of The Floating Castle
Windhoek removed his fangs, and threw Calvin's body to the ground; he moved his crimson gaze on the soldiers, and took a deep breath.
"Welcome."
He said, turning his head to Kara, who walked inside the hall with a stunned gaze... Seeing the priests' lifeless bodies, she frowned.
"You killed them?" She raised her head to Windhoek. "Do you know the consequences of your action?!" She yelled.
Windhoek took a step and appeared in front of her; he held her hair and took a deep sniff of it.
"You're always a pleasure, but I'm just sad I can't have you." He said, turning his gaze from her neck to her face.
"And you'll never have me, You know who I am, dare touch me and see what happens to you."
"Oh?! I know that, you're the legendary Sword Saint, feared by thousands... Yeah, I know you."
He turned around, walked to the round table, and sat down, staring at Kara.
"Come on, why don't you drink from them, you need to stabilize yourself, and their blood Is flowing with energy, so it'll help you." He said.
"I don't eat from people who have already been tainted." Kara walked inside the hall, and moved her gaze around the destroyed buildings.
Windhoek raised his brows hearing her word, but remained silent.
"I have dream of gaining this castle all to myself, and stepping on these old fools. You just made that dream unfulfilled." She turned to Windhoek.
"You can still achieve it, their bodies are right there, step on them... And about the castle? We can simply rebuild it for you."
Kara scoffed:
"You always have an answer to everything... You haven't changed Windhoek." She stared at him over her shoulder.
Windhoek licked the blood off his lips, and stood up:
"Someone is coming, someone powerful!"
Kara closed her eyes, and nodded: "Two actually... One is Aaron, and the second is the fifth Priest."
"Then let's kill them!!" Windhoek said with killing instinct.
"Shut up! Aaron is a lot stronger than you... We retreat for now."
Windhoek turned to Kara, and sighed... He twirled his fingers, while the soldiers nodded, and started disappearing from the hall.
"We'll see again, Sword Saint." Windhoek said, and disappeared from the hall.
Kara moved her gaze around:
"I can't have this castle, so I just have to take it down." She walked towards a door, opened it, and walked inside.

Aaron and Essie rushed inside the hall, and was stunned seeing the scene that greeted them.
"No!!!"
Essie rushed to Malika, she fell to her knees, and placed Malika's head on her lap.
"Malika!! You can't leave me! You promised to stay with me forever!! Why?!!"
Aaron stared at the three Priests and sighed softly;
"They were bitten, Only Vampires could do this!"
"Vampires!" Essie's eyes turned red.
"Hold on, Fifth Priest, The Vampires race isn't responsible for this, they aren't even strong enough to attack the Priests, let alone kill them."
Aaron moved his gaze around:
"What about your soldiers? Because if a battle happened here, The priests won't be the only one killed." He asked, turning to Essie.
"I... I don't know. I'm also surprised." Essie looked around in mild confusion.
Aaron walked towards the round table, and slowly felt it with his hand:
"Someone was here, and a man." He turned to the door, Kara took.
"How did you guys train your soldiers? Even giving them wings." He asked walking towards the door.
"Well... Skull gave us the soldiers."
Aaron stopped on track, and turned around to Essie, his face filled with surprise:
"Are you guys stupid?! You already know Skull is dangerous, why didn't you kill the soldiers or get rid of them?!! Do you think they'll choose you instead of their leaders?!"
Essie looked down at Malika's beautiful face, and tears ran down her cheek. "We thought--"
"--Forget all that... Where do this door lead to?" He asked pointing at the red door.
"That leads to the core room." Essie said, caressing Malika's hair.
Aaron stared at her for some seconds, and asked:
"Who's she to you?"
"My best friend, who's also my sister... She's the only one who accepted me in the council; because of her, the whole Council cool up to me."
Aaron exhaled: "Don't worry, we'll avenge them, and also give her a befitting burial."
Essie slowly nodded, as tears ran down her cheeks.
Aaron grew in height, his silver hair turned red. After his transformation, he walked towards the door.
'I can sense a familiar presence inside, which only belongs to Kara... I'll have to confirm this, If she's the one, I'll kill her.'
Aaron opened the door, and walked inside... He saw a hallway before him, leading to another door, at the other end.
He calmly walked towards the door, his gaze cold.
___
Aaron placed his hand on the doorknob, and with a clockwise turn, he opened the door, and pushed it open.
"..."
Aaron stared at the woman sitting on a chair, backing him.
"Oh? Who do you here?"
The woman turned around with the chair, and Aaron saw her face. She was no one other than Kara.
"Aaron, well... Not really a surprise, why are you here?" Kara asked.
"I should be the one asking you that, right?" Aaron asked back, his tone filled with venom.
"Hmm... Are you angry about their death? Did you forget they turned you into the Cursed Child?! Shouldn't you be happy they met their fate?" Kara asked with a frown.
"Of course, I wanted them dead... But that was in the past, not anymore! I know you aren't strong enough to kill the three, and even put them in that state, so tell me, who did it?!"
"And you think I'll tell you? Why? Why would I tell you?" Kara asked, with a flick of her wrist, a blue glowing core appeared on her palm.
Aaron's eyes narrowed, seeing the core.
{All Seeing Eyes}
{Name: Core of Levitation.}
{Ability: Help keep anything connected to, floating for eternity.} Stay updated with empire
'So this core is the thing keeping the castle in the sky, but why is she with it?!'
"What are you doing?!!" He asked.
Kara smirked at him:
"I have dreamed about owning this castle. It was one of my dream living in a castle that float in the sky, going anywhere you dream of... I came here for the core, but discovered I can't take it away because it's bonded with this fucking castle... So I can only do this."
Before Aaron knew it, Kara destroyed the core.
"No!! Do you know what you have done?!!" He yelled.
"Yeah, This Castle is 5,000 feet above the ground, I wonder what will happen if it touches the ground."
"What about you?! Won't you die in here?" Aaron asked.
"Don't be ignorant... I know you have thousands of ways to escape, and I also have some." Kara sneered, and disappeared from the seat.
"This?" Aaron was surprised.
"I don't know she could teleport... I need to get out from here, wait; Essie."
BOOM!!
The whole Castle instantly trembled, with a drop, the castle descended with so much speed that gravity smashed Aaron into the ceiling.
He forced himself down, and rushed out from the room.
Aaron kicked the door opened, and moved his gaze around the hall, seeing everything on the ceiling, including Essie.
He flew up to her, noticing she was unconscious, he checked her pulse by placing his fingers on the side of her neck.
Aaron frowned feeling no heartbeat, he looked at her body, seeing blood on her chest.
"This?!" His eyes widened.
He grabbed her, and pulled her from the ceiling. Amidst the gravity pull, he took her down, and frowned seeing a piece of paper behind her... Where the blade penetrated her body.
Aaron took the paper and quickly red though the words, the blood made some unclear, but he tried his best to read it.
"Don't be shocked Aaron, it was fun, and the Queen gave an order, "leave no one Alive"... Oh, and I know who you really are. I don't know why you're changing your expression, but I'll find out, and lastly: I killed her, and if you want to know who I am, Meet me in my realm. Gateway? It's located under the Dead Sea."
Aaron burnt the paper, an unknown amount of killing instinct spreading out from his body...
"I promise you, Essie. I'll avenge all of you."
He lied her on the ground, and slowly stood up, taking steps backward.
"Skull, I'll make sure to burn you to the ground."
With that said, he disappeared from the castle, which instantly smashed into the sea.
Aaron appeared on the shore, staring at the castle, which slowly entered the ocean, disappearing from view.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Kara, You'll pay!" He hissed out, his fists clenched.
'Who is this killer?! What realm is he on?! He shouldn't be able to kill a Transcendent without any resistance or battle, and I didn't hear anything, this must be an Assassin. I might not know who you are, but I know you're a Vampire!' He thought, returning to his normal appearance.
"Emperor Aaron?"
Hearing his name behind him, Aaron turned around and was stunned.
