CHAPTER 23

Outside the Kingdom of Alabama, many warriors were scattered around, and they bowed their heads upon seeing their visitors. Something that made King Baron and King Malik amazed.

"I feel so secure in this place, Prince Arthur. Maybe we should get back here next time," said King Baron.

Prince Arthur paled. "Of course, this only happens once a year, so we are doing our best in order to make it better."

"So what part of Alabama do you want to take us first?" asked Kig Malik.

"To the frozen cave stream, which is located at the back of the kingdom. That is the place where I practiced along with my twelve zodiac warriors."

"You seemed to be proud of them, Prince Arthur!" said King Baron.

"Indeed, I am. They are not only warriors, but they are my friends as well."

When they reached the frozen cave stream, Prince Arthur waved his Tizona sword again to remove the thick fog in the area.

King Baron's eyes widened in shock. He was amazed that such a place existed in Alabama. "This place is well-hidden. I am sure that none of your enemies know that this place exists."

King Malik nodded in agreement. "Yes, a place like this does not exist on my planet. I would like to fight in this place!"

"Sure, I will ask my father's permission about that, King Malik. This place is so sacred that only a few warriors knew about it. If we hold our fight here, there is a chance that the enemy will discover this place."

"No, you shouldn't worry that much, Prince Arthur. I mean, you've mentioned earlier that you are preparing everything for the 40th anniversary, so I expect that enemies will never know about either this place or our fight!"

"You're right, King Malik. Pardon me."

"By the way, can you cast your magic? Didn't you say that you could revive creatures? I would like to see the Alabama from above," requests King Malik.

"No biggie," said Prince Arthur. He snapped his finger and three white pegasus appeared in front of them. "I used to chant my magic and put my hands on the ground to cast my spell, but now I have learned to do it by simply snapping my fingers. Pretty convenient for me!"

"Amazing! So not only can you revive creatures, but you can also multiply them by how many?" asked King Malik.

"Yes, although it costs me so much stamina when multiplying their numbers. However, I am still working on that part!"

"What is the most powerful creature that you summoned?" inquired King Baron, then he rode on the pegasus.

King Malik and Prince Arthur rode their pegasus too.

"So far, the dark Phoenix is the strongest creature I can summon with my magic powers," answered Prince Arthur.

"That is amazing! The legendary Phoenix is the strongest creature in the celestial spirit world," uttered King Baron. "Let us fly in the skies. I can't wait to roam this area using this pegasus!"

They flew in the skies, and all the warriors and warrioress in the land of Alabama were amazed to see the pegasus with their two eyes.

From above the skies, both King Malik and King Baron realized the magnificent nation of Alabama. But what caught their attention was the nation of Cannopus. King Malik pointed his hand at the city and asked Prince Arthur. "Is that the island of Cannopus where King Abaddon is currently over?"

"I have never seen that area before, so I am not sure if that really is the land of Cannopus, King Malik."

"That is just fine. Can we go to that area? I would really like to visit King Solomon as well," King Malik pleaded.

Prince Arthur rubbed his head. He was not sure if he was going to permit them or not. But one thing was clear in his mind: his father despised King Solomon, and once he went there without his father's permission, he might be in trouble. Ha faced King Malik and responded. "No, as much as I'd like, my father forbade me to roam that nation. I respect him so much, and part of respecting him is following his command!"

"Don't worry, we are not going to cause any trouble. We just want to roam the area from above!"

Prince Arthur nodded in agreement because he couldn't say no to his two important visitors. "Sure, and please do me a favor and don't tell my father that we roamed that land. I might be punished if he finds out about this!"

"No problem, Prince Arthur!" King Malik replied.

They flew towards the Cannopus nation, and they saw many werewolves guarding the nation, but they didn't feel the presence of King Abaddon in that area.

"There is no indication that King Abaddon is in this place," uttered King Malik. "Perhaps, he is hiding somewhere!"

"He might be in another place or another planet, but still, let us not let our guard down. He might be hiding his presence intentionally!" King Baron replied.

"Is that so? I am not aware that he can do such a thing," said Prince Arthur while looking down on the Cannopus nation.

"From what I've heard, hiding presence is one of the werewolves' abilities. Although, I can't deny the fact that they possibly have more abilities we don't know yet," King Baron continued.

King Malik crossed his arms over his chest. "That is not a surprising thing to know. Anyway, I feel the presence of King Solomon and his family inside his castle. Perhaps they are currently in a dungeon."

"Maybe we should go down there since King Abaddon's presence is unreachable at the moment!"

"That is not a great idea, King Baron. I'm sorry for being rude, but my father is not allowed to have any more connections with King Solomon or anything that is related to him. I think we should head back to the Kingdom. I am very sure that my father has prepared something for us. Shall we go?"

Both King Malik and King Baron nodded as another way of saying yes. When they headed back to the kingdom, King Abaddon appeared in the area where they spotted the three unexpected visitors, together with his most faithful werewolf servant, Elizer, who could also fly.

"King Abaddon, who are those two weird creatures with Prince Arthur?" asked Elizer while looking in the direction where the Alabama was located.

"Those were King Baron and King Mali. They are both kings on different planets, and I guess they were invited by King Bartholomeo," answered King Abaddon. "I wanted to measure their strength with my own hand."

"Then why did you not attack them when you had a chance, King Abaddon?" he asked out of curiosity.

King Abaddon clenched his hand in anger, and his forehead glistened in sweat. "That f*cking son of King Bartholomeo carries the sword I am terrified of!"

"And what is the name of that sword? It must be made to destroy you!"

"Tizona sword, and only a warrior who is capable of casting magic can wield such a sword. Besides, he is the rarest warrior with a 13th zodiac sign, Ophiuchus."

"I've never heard of that sign!"

"From what I have heard, he was born in the celestial spirit world. That is why he was a special warrior!"

"If that is your weakness, we should do something to steal that sword."

"You should not worry about that. I am finding a way to overcome my weakness. As of now, everything is going according to my plan, and it's only a matter of time before I invade King Bartholomeo's kingdom. And once I do that, I will be the king of this entire planet!"

"Although you are undeniably strong, King Abaddon. How about the celestial spirit king? He is the most powerful being in the entire universe. Not even you can hold a candle to him!"

"I acknowledged his strength, but he is not going to intervene in my plans. Besides, he was on another planet, so I don't think he would meddle in my plans. However, if he still wanted to intervene, he leaves me with no other choice but to destroy this planet!"

"Don't tell me you are going to kill even yourself and your kind?"

"I won't jump to any conclusion yet. Let us return to my castle. I will prepare everything for my upcoming attack," said King Abaddon, then he laughed sarcastically. He was confident that his plans would succeed. Elizer laughed as well, but deep inside he wanted to kill Abaddon with his two hands as he kept a grudge against him.
