Dragna Empire.

Miko sat alone in the throne room. He held his head and grimace.

“So what are you going to do about Hina?”

That’s when the pesky shadow appeared beside of him.

“She’s destined to either assist in your death or be killed by you. Surely you realize that you can’t be with her.”

Said the shadow.

“…….”

Miko remained silent.

“You don’t actually love her do you?”

But the shadow continued.

“If you did, you would’ve left her side since you two being together will only make you both suffer.”

“………”

“Not only her, the same goes for all of your so-called Love ones.”

The shadow alternate sides like a snake.

“Are they really your love ones? I mean, do you even possess the ability to truly love anything?”

The shadow pointed to his chest.

“I mean look. You don’t have a heart.”

Suddenly there was a spear running through his chest, which ripped out his heart.

The shadow wrapped around him and whispered in his ear.

“Just admit, you don’t know what love is. You’re just acting like you do because you’re afraid to be alone again.”

It started to grin.

“You should just cast away the façade, and be your true self. A heartless, pathetic monster who failed to be human time and time again.”

Miko suddenly lifted his head when he heard that.

“That’s right. Give in. Destroy everything. Cast away-”

“Could you please shut up already.”

Miko cut it off and grabbed it by its neck.

“Your presence is really beginning to piss me off.”

He began strangling it with one hand.

“Die.”

*Crack!*

The shadow’s neck suddenly broke and its head hung unnaturally.

“Hmph.”

Miko flung it body to the ground and looked down at it with distain.

That’s when the shadow disappeared and a person was left their. Miko recognized it as one of his servants. The servant must’ve approached Miko out of concern and was killed while Miko was still delirious.

“That’s the third one this week.”

Tia appeared and said.

“What’s wrong? Are you going through puberty?”

She asked.

“Who goes through puberty killing off their servants?”

Miko replied.

“You’ll be surprised by how many they are in this clan.”

Tia said seriously.

Miko got off his throne.

“Tia, I’ll be honest with you. I’m losing my mind.”

“Gasp! You mean you hadn’t lost it before now?”

Tia replied.

“I’m serious.”

“The cause?”

Tia asked after seeing that he wasn’t in a joking mood.

“Deus Malum. It’s apparently pushing me more and more into madness, so that it can feed off my insanity.”

“Can you stop it?”

“I’ve thought about a few remedies, but nothing permanent.”

“What about a tranquillity spell?”

“Tranquillity Spell? Is that a spell that calms you down or something?”

Miko asked.

“That’s right. You can have Momo cast the spell on you every couple days. That way you’ll maintain your right state of mind. Or better yet, you can have her teach you it, so that you can’t maintain yourself.”

Miko thought about Tia’s suggestion.

It was nothing but a temporarily fix, but it was better than anything he could think off.

“Alright. I’ll do-”

It was at this moment that Miko felt like he was being suppressed by something.

“?!”

It wasn’t just him. The entire country felt like it was under a giant’s foot.

“What the hell is this?!”

Miko shouted as he fought the urge to drop to his knees.

“This is…..He’s coming!”

Tia shouted.

*Boom!*

At that the moment, the roof was suddenly ripped off the palace.

Miko looked up and saw someone hovering in the air, looking down on the world.

“Who the hell is that?!”

“He Who Redefines Destiny.”

Miko looked behind him and saw Nero and the rest of the high ranking members of the clan appear out of nowhere.

“That bastard. Did he get stronger again?”

Andreas asked as he looked at the man in the sky.

“Is it me, or is he quickly becoming a threat to us?”

Said Echo.

“I suggest we destroy him now.”

Said Alexus.

“Wait, let’s see what he wants first.”

Said Rouge.

All of the branch leaders stood in front of Miko with Nero in the middle.

Nero grinned and cracked his fingers.

“Either way, he looks like he’s itching for a fight, and I feel like I could accompany him for one.”

He looked at the person in the sky.

“What do you say, Human God Lennox?”

The man, Lennox smiled in response. He soon descended from the air and landed in front of all the branch leaders.

He was around 6’2 tall. He was rather muscular, but didn’t look too bulky. He had jet black hair, and green playful eyes. He was dressed in a white sleeveless trench coat with gold trimmings, and had pair of fingerless gloves on his hands.

This was the Tyrant with the title “He Who Redefines Destiny”, the Ultimate Human Lennox.

Lennox stared at everyone with a fearless grin.

“Yo.”

That was all he said before it happened.

“?!”

Lennox disappeared from where he was and popped up in front of Miko. He stretched his hand on towards him.

“Not so fast.”

However, his arm was grabbed by Nero.

“You need to make an appointment to see the emperor.”

He then threw Lennox over his shoulder like he was garbage.

Lennox twisted his body and his feet landed against the wall.

“Oh?”

That’s when he saw Alexus and Andreas attacking simultaneously.

*Boom!*

Lennox moved out of the way, and the two attacking destroyed the wall with their fists.

“Heads up.”

He looked up and saw a heel slamming towards his head. It was Echo, who was attacking him from above.

*Boom!*

He crossed his arms over his head and successfully blocked. However he was sent crashing into the earth.

“I think she broke my arms.”

Lennox laid on the ground and said.

*Boom!*

Immediately after a heavy force hit his lower body and damaged his legs.

“There. I broke your legs so that they matched your arms.”

Rouge said as he stood on Lennox legs.

“I see. How kind of you.”

Lennox replied casually.

*Boom!*

That’s when a foot appeared and stomped his chest plate in.

“Good morning, Lenny boy.”

Nero looked down at him and smile, while twisting his heel on Lennox’s chest.

“Good morning, Boss. Haven’t met you in a while.”

Lennox replied while blood leaked out his mouth.

“What you been up to?”

“You know, drinking, partying, crushing arrogant brats who think they can waltz into my country, the lights.”

Nero replied.

“I see. You been keeping yourself busy. Cough!”

Lennox coughed when Nero applied more pressure to his foot.

“Oh? What’s wrong? You look a little pale there, Lenny Boy.”

Nero said.

“Hahahahaha. I just remembered I left the stove on at home. That might be the reason.”

“Heh.”

Nero smiled and applied more pressure.

“What about now?”

“Yeah….I think you crush a lung there.”

Lennox said with a painful smile.

The other branch leaders started surrounding him, while Nero had him pinned down to the floor.

“Man, you people really don’t show mercy do you?”

He said after seeing that he was surrounded. From the moment he appeared, the smile never left his face as if he wasn’t in a dangerous situation.

“Let’s cut the meaningless banter.”

Said Rouge.

“Human God, why did you suddenly appeared here?”

He asked.

“You want the truth?”

“Do you want to keep all your limbs?”

“Fair enough.”

Said Lennox.

“I was asked to assassinate someone by an old friend.”

“Who?”

“The old friend or the assassination target?”

“Both.”

Rouge answered.

“The old friend is called Ringo, while the assassination target is Nova.”

“Me? Not Miko?”

Nova who was watching how things unfolded asked.

“Yep, you.”

Lennox answered.

“I know you might not be an expert assassin, but you’re not suppose barge in like that if your goal is to assassinate someone.”

Kimiko added.

“Oh? Madame, what happened? You look so weak, even I can kill you.”

Lennox laughed and said.

“A happy-go-lucky guy as always I see.”

Kimiko said with a sigh.

“Anyway, I was asked to kill Nova but I was told that I didn’t need to succeed, I just needed to try it. Since I owed Ringo a favor, I thought ‘sure, why not?’. And now we’re here.”

Lennox said as if he was enjoying himself.

“Tia, who is this guy?”

Miko asked after seeing Lennox behavior.

“He’s a Tyrant named Lennox. He’s a human who holds the record for the youngest person to ever become a Tyrant, and also for the shortest period to become a Tyrant after starting the path to become one.”

Tia replied.

“I thought that he was a dangerous guy when he gave off that pressure earlier, but seeing him acting this way. I’ve lost all tension.”

Said Miko.

“Don’t be fooled by his carefree behavior, Miko. That man is very very dangerous. You might say in a way he’s the most dangerous person in this room.”

Tia replied.

“Now then.”

Lennox suddenly sat up and Nero was forced to take his foot off him. He then naturally stood up as if his legs weren’t broken anymore.

“I should be going now.”

He said.

“Wait.”

Nero stopped him.

“You don’t expect us to let you go peacefully, do you?”

“I don’t, but it was worth a shot.”

Lennox laughed and said.

“Now then.”

It was at that moment, the smile finally dropped from his face.

“The entire Dragna Clan now has me cornered. I came with no back up, and there’s around 9 persons in here that can defeat me.”

His voice lost its cheerfulness and became quite serious.

Not only his voice, even his aura changed. Miko couldn’t help but think he was standing in front of a different person.

“The odds are stocked against me, and my fate if we fight would be destruction.”

It was then a devilish smile appeared on his face.

“?!”

Miko once again felt the same pressure that suppressed him when Lennox first appeared. He once again felt a great sense of danger coming from Lennox.

Lennox clinched his fist.

“Let’s see if we can once again rewrite my destiny.”

And then-

“On second thought, lets not.”

Lennox suddenly changed gears again.

“Although, I was asked to kill Nova it was only a side job. My real job is to give you this.”

He threw a letter towards Miko who caught it and stared at.

“That’s a formal declaration of war from the Seven Moon Alliance in the Eastern Region. Read it and you’ll know the details.”

After saying that, a thunder bolt fell from the sky and hit Lennox. An instant later Lennox disappeared from where he stood.

Leaving the Dragna Clan with the letter, and ending his weird visit to the clan.
