Ilario activated water magic, he poured water on that guy’s face to wake him up.

“Ahh…you? How did you break the prison?” He asked surprisingly.

“Why do you want to kidnap my sister? What is your purpose? You work for Count Proelium, right?” Ilario asked him.

“How…? No, I don’t know anything,” he said fearfully.

Ilario thought that there must be something behind of that feared. He stabbed at his leg.

“Argh…you will get nothing from me,” he said firmly.

Ilario stabbed more at the same wound.

“Argh…Just kill me,” he said determinedly despite his injury.

Ilario stabbed more, repeated at the same wound.

“Argh…” his voice louder, he was out of breath but he had no intention to tell him anything.

“Is it relate to the monsters?” Ilario asked randomly.

His face paled and he looked as if he feared with something after he heard his question and said, “I don’t know anything,” his body was trembling, he suddenly coughed black blood and died instantly.

Ilario felt the dark energy lightly. He thought that they might cooperate with a mysterious monster lord. It will only complicate the situation if it related to a mysterious monster lord for real.

Ilario went upstairs, he must hurry to go back to the castle.

“Is there any effect if I use ‘Teleport’ with all of them?” mind communicated Ilario, he forgot that there are 5 children.

“It’s better if I do it. Just tell them beforehand. I’ll do the rest,” mind communicated Solaris.

“All right. Teleport direct to my bedroom. I don’t want my great uncle and his people to see us,” mind communicated Ilario.

“Everyone, we will travel by a special way. You might feel a bit dizzy but we will reach to Fortis very fast. Please hold each other hand tightly, I will count on three…” said Ilario kindly.

Ilario and the children reached to his bedroom safely. Ilario rang the bell to call Verna.

“Please take care of these children secretly and take them to the orphanage tomorrow,” said Ilario seriously, “call Curtis for me and don’t let other servants know that I came back.”

“Yes, Young Lord” Verna said and left with the children.

‘Knock’ ‘Knock’

“Come in” Ilario said.

“Mother and Bia came back safely, right?” Ilario asked.

“Yes, Young Lord” Curtis said.

“Has great uncle come back?” Ilario asked.

“No, He has not come back yet, Yong Lord” Curtis said.

“Where is my father?” Ilario asked.

“Lord Lucifer is working in his working room.” Curtis said.

“All right. Don’t tell anyone that I came back,” Ilario said.

“Yes, Young Lord” Curtis said.

Ilario went direct to his father’s working room.

‘Knock’ ‘Knock’

“Father, it’s me” Ilario said.

“Come in,” Lucifer said.

Ilario went inside. His parents were sitting on sofa and waiting for him.

“You are back,” said Bellatrix angrily, she looked as if she had been being deceived by her son all this time.

“I apologize for my behavior, Mother” Ilario said. “Please see this Memoria first, we have not much time.”

Ilario showed them a visual display of moving pictures, the evidence proving that Cornelius was a main culprit who help the accomplices kidnapped him.

His parents had a great shock after they saw everything from Memoria. Lucifer was bitterly disappointed with Cornelius.

“I really trust him,” said Lucifer disappointedly.

“As I know, he has many knights on his side. That’s why they could kidnap me and Bia easily. I still could not find the suspicious servants, there might be someone who help the knights,” said Ilario seriously.

They both were surprised by his words.

“Count Proelium is a person who was cooperating with great uncle,” said Ilario seriously. He told them about human trafficking.

“It’s illegal, the human trafficking,” said Lucifer angrily.

“Great uncle might think that he has succeeded to make me disappear. I have escaped after he left,” said Ilario seriously, “he asked Count Proelium’s servant to prepare The Sicarii, they will attack and kidnap Bia tonight.”

“All right. I will deal with him right away,” Lucifer said and left hurriedly.

“Mother, please stay with Bia tonight. I know you are a great Bellator. I have already asked my spirit and her spirits to protect her. But I still worry about her, there might be some spies among the servants. I will fight with The Sicarii. Please don’t worry about me,” Ilario said and left hurriedly.

“Huh? Eli…!” Bellatrix called Ilario but he went out of the working room already.

***

Cornelius and Adrian arrived near the castle, they sent the signal to their army.

“The Marquess had already known our plan. He gathered his trustworthy knights to capture you, sir” a knight said, he reported to Cornelius hurriedly.

“How many knights on our side?” Cornelius asked Adrian.

“Around 3,000 knights, more than half of The Fortis knight army, sir” Adrian said.

“All right, tell everyone to prepare themselves. We will attack after The Sicarii did their work.” Cornelius said, he planned to revolt and seize the power of Fortis to himself tonight.

….

Ilario activated “Light Barrier” to cover the castle. He prepared himself to fight with The Sicarii.

“Solaris, please follow my great uncle. I could detect his energy near the castle. I think he knew that my father will capture him,” Ilario said.

“Luna, The Sicarii will attack us tonight. Please protect Bia and my mother,” mind communicated Ilario, he used ‘Telepathy’ to talk to Luna.

Ilario could detect strange movement from many knights, they gathered near the castle. He activated “Invisible” and used “Teleport” to go to that area.

“Get ready and wait for the signal. We will do as a plan,” a knight said.

They were gathering and hiding at the shadow on the West wing of castle, it was hard to see them from inside the castle.

Ilario knew immediately that they are going to revolt, he must tell his father. But before he could do that, he suddenly felt the dark energies, the same energies that he had felt from the experimental monsters at the cave.

They came from another side, the East wing of the castle, they were aiming for our family members since the beginning. Ilario has no time to warn his father about the revolt.

“Luna, they are coming. Please warn my mother,” mind communicated Ilario.

Ilario used “Teleport” to go direct to the East wing for blocking The Sicarii. He activated “Solis Meteor” to attack the 8 of them before they could reach to the castle. There were 3 Sicarii could survive from his attack. They came direct to Ilario, and aimed for attacking him.

Their appearances look like human men, well trained body, and high muscle. They were wearing black suit, covered their faces with their masks, like assassins. Ilario knew for sure that they were monsters, they possessed dark magic powers at low to medium level. Their movement were faster than human.

Ilario activated “Wind Dragon Wings” and flew up in the air. One of them generated wings, flew up in the air and attacked Ilario, it used its long claws to attack him but he could dodge it. It looks like it had mutated into the X-monster, human form with wings and claws.

The other 2 Sicarii went direct to the castle, they must aim for kidnapping Beatrice. They are intelligence monsters, they could think and work like human.

Ilario worried about his mother and sister, he needed to kill this Sicarius and follow them.

Ilario activated “Solis Breath” to attack a Sicarius. Its body burned but regrew itself at fast rate. It breathed poison to him but it has no effect because his body automatically activated “Resistance”, it could protect him from poisons and dark powers. Ilario activated “Wind Slashing” to cut its body off, he aimed at its heart. Its body was still flying in the air, it generated its head to be a wolf head, like Lycan.

‘Whoa…What is it? How many races that they had experimented on this Sicarius?’ Ilario thought to himself.

It was attacking at Ilario aggressively. It had skill of close combat like human but his speed was beyond the normal human. It used its long claws to attack him and tried to bite on his neck. Ilario used his dagger knives to block its attacks. He activated “Solis” on his dagger knives, used “Teleport” to go behind it and cut off its body at vitals area and activated “Lumen” to destroy dark magic stone inside its body before it could regrow itself again.

Ilario kept all pieces of its body in his bracelet, he needed to check its body later.

★*:.｡. ✧☆✧ .｡.:*★

On the West wings side, Adrian sent the signal. The knights on Cornelius side were starting to revolt.

“Our knight army were attacking each other. They have divided into 2 groups, our loyal knights, and Sir Cornelius’s knights. We have not found Sir Cornelius yet, My Lord” said Augustine, who was a vice commander, and very loyal to Lucifer. He was in his forties, tall, lean muscle, dark brown hair, and dark blue eyes.

Viscount Augustine Scutum, who was a relative to The Count of Fidus, the third in Bloodline of Fortis. He inherited fire and wind Magic Power at medium level. He was a great Bellator.

“All right. Lead our trustworthy knights and suppress the situation outside. I will deal with my uncle by myself. I can detect his magic power nearby,” Lucifer said.

“Yes, My Lord” Augustine said and left.

Lucifer used “Teleport” to go direct at his uncle’s position.

“Why are you here, Uncle?” Lucifer asked his Uncle coldly.

Cornelius and Adrian were surprised by the presence of Lucifer.

“Ah…” said Cornelius, he was speechless and attacked Lucifer.

Lucifer blocked his attack with “Wind Shield” and attacked him back with “Wind Storm”. The wind blew Cornelius’s body to hit a tree. Adrian tried to attack behind Lucifer while Lucifer was attacking Cornelius but Lucifer activated “Wind Slashing” to cut Adrian’s head off before he could attack him.

Lucifer walked close to Cornelius, he was disappointed with him. His action was clearly revolt.

“How could you betray me?” Lucifer asked Cornelius coldly.

“Argh…who knows?” said Cornelius absurdly, he activated “Fire Magic” to attack Lucifer.

Lucifer activated “Water Shooting” to hit Cornelius before he got attack from him, his magic power higher than his uncle. Cornelius could not fight against Lucifer.

“Argh…I hate you, I hate your father. You got everything just because you are a first son,” said Cornelius hatefully, “that’s why I wanted to destroy your family and inherit everything.”

“I sold your children to the one who want to experiment them, you know? It was the best way to destroy you,” said Cornelius insanely, “just kill me. At least, I could make your beloved son disappear, hahaha.”

“Who did you sell him to?” Lucifer asked coldly.

“I’m not telling you even I have to die. I wanted you to feel miserable. Your son will be gone forever, haha” said Cornelius hatefully.

“Did you know that your grand child is smart?” Lucifer asked coldly.

“What do you mean?” Cornelius asked curiously.

“Who else was capable to tell me about your wicked intention?” Lucifer asked coldly.

“I will execute all of your family members. Don’t worry, Uncle” said Lucifer coldly, he activated “Wind Slashing” to cut off Cornelius’s head.

Lucifer has taken Cornelius’s head back to the castle. He went to the area where the knights were fighting each other.

‘Bang’ Lucifer had activated magic power to make a loud sound.

“Stop,” said Lucifer loudly, he showed Cornelius’s head to the knights.

The knights on Cornelius side were shocked. They have never known that Lord Lucifer, who is always kind to people, could cut off his uncle’s head.

“Do you still want to fight?” Lucifer asked coldly.

The knights on Cornelius side surrendered.

“Capture and imprison them all,” Lucifer said to Augustine.

★*:.｡. ✧☆✧ .｡.:*★

On the East wings side, the other 2 Sicarii could not break and pass through the Light Barrier. They slowly forced themselves to go inside, their bodies were burned by Light Barrier but its bodies could regrow itself quickly. They moved direct to Beatrice’s room.

Luna could detect their dark energies. She showed up herself to Bellatrix.

“They are coming, the monsters,” said Luna, she warned Bellatrix.

Bellatrix was surprised with a big creature in front of her but she regained her consciousness quickly. She had already armed, and she was ready to fight.

“Bia, wake up!” said Bellatrix, she waked Beatrice and held her to closet room, “There will be the bad guys coming here, stay in the closet until Mom came to pick you up, okay?”

“Okay,” said Beatrice obediently, she was still half asleep.

“Ava, Vita, Protect Bia while we are fighting with them,” Luna said to Ava and Vita.

The 2 Sicarii came inside Beatrice’s room. They saw Bellatrix and attacked her with their long claws. Bellatrix blocked and dodged, she activated wind magic on her sword and cut its hand but it regrew itself very fast.

Luna was using “Light Beam” to attack another Sicarius before it attacked Bellatrix.

“Can you cut off their bodies? Aim at the vitals area to cut their hearts. I will purify the dark magic stone inside them.” Luna asked.

“I got it,” said Bellatrix, she was fighting with another Sicarius.

A Sicarius was attacking Bellatrix aggressively. They attacked and blocked, switching back and forth.

Luna used “Light Beam” and “Light Purify” to burn another Sicarius continually, but its body regrew so fast, especially the area near its heart. She must spend more time to burn and purify it.

Bellatrix found its weak spot and activated “Wind Slashing” to cut off its body while it was blocking her sword. She switched the position with Luna. — Luna used “Light Purify” to purify the dark magic stone inside a Sicarius’s body while Bellatrix was fighting with another Sicarius instead of her.

Another Sicarius was weaker after it got burned from Luna. Bellatrix was attacking it continually and finding a way to cut off its body. It knew that it could not fight with Bellatrix, it breathed Poison to her. It moved direct to the closet room where Beatrice was hiding. Bellatrix coughed blood and fell on the floor.

Ilario appeared and saw his mother was laying down on the floor with blood on her mouth. He got quite a shock to see her in this state.

“She got poison. I will use ‘Recover’ for her. Help Bia first, a monster went to find her,” said Luna, she hurried to purify and destroy dark magic stone and used “Recover” and “Light Purify” to recover Bellatrix.

Ava activated “Wind Slashing” to cut off its body but it regrew itself to be Lycan. It tried to catch Beatrice but Ava activated “Wind Slashing” to cut its body near its heart again. Vita activated “Water Bubble” to cover its body to slow the process of regrowth and used “Water Purify” to purify dark magic stone inside its body.

‘Water Purify’ can purify dark magic but slower than “Light Purify”

Ilario reached to the closet room, he activated “Lumen” to help Vita purify the dark magic stone.

“Brother!” said Beatrice, she run up to him and hugged him tightly. She was trembling because the monster scared her.

“It’s all right now. Ava and Vita always help Bia as I told you, right?” said Ilario kindly, he hugged and held her in his arm.

“Thank you. Ava, Vita” said Beatrice sincerely.

“Mom?” Beatrice asked Ilario.

“Mom tired from fighting with the bad guys. She gets some sleep outside. Don’t disturb her, okay?” said Ilario kindly. It would be shocked her if she knew the fact that our mother got hurt.

“Okay,” said Beatrice obediently.

“Luna, please move my mother to the bed,” mind communicated Ilario.

“Is my mother all right?” mind communicated Ilario.

“Yes, she is better now. Make sure to use ‘Recover’ on her again,” mind communicated Luna.

Ilario activated “Recover” on Bellatrix’s body to make sure that there was no more poison in her body.

“Solaris, has great uncle done something?” mind communicated Ilario.

“No, he hasn’t done anything because your father had killed him before he could do that,” mind communicated Solaris.

“Huh? Really?” mind communicated Ilario.

“Yes,” mind communicated Solaris.

Ilario kept all the Sicarii’s bodies and went back to his room.
