Chapter 9:

The Seven Kings

The Rising Of The Shadow Emperor


"I have brought the 7 kings with me. Hope you are not angry for me escorting them."

"Of course no." - Yoshiaki.

Suddenly a sweet girl's voice was heard behind Tomio.

The girl was pretty young. She was about 5 ft 6 inches tall. She had a pretty face.

"Your Majesty. I was hoping to meet you. Happy birthday Ryo-sama."

"Thanks.."

Chapter 9 : The Seven Kings

The girl then came closer to Ryo. Ryo then put his hand forward. The girl then gave Ryo a small kiss on his hand.

"I hope you live long, My Prince."

"Hmmm."

Tomio then interrupted them.

"Sorry for the interruption. But allow me to introduce all the Seven kings to the people who don't know them yet."

Yoshiaki, the king, then nodded in agreement.

Then the Seven Kings stood up. They then turned around to the crowd as well as Tomio.

Tomio then started to introduce them.

"Good Evening Everyone. Hope you are all doing fine. Today on this special day of Ryo-sama's birthday, I will now introduce you to the seven strongest magicians in other words The Seven Kings."

Tomio then pointed towards a person with a long white beard. He looked like in his 70s.

"He is the oldest of all the Seven Kings as well as one of the strongest of them. And his name is Sheldom Grisham from the Grisham house."

Sheldom then put his hands behind his back showing respect to the crowd.

"No matter how old I'm, I will always protect this kingdom." - Sheldom.

Tomio then continued to a girl who had a very pretty face. The girl is tall about 6 ft. She had long pink hair.

"And this is the beauty queen, Rozaliya Olenyeva. She is excellent with her magic control. And she can easily defeat 500 B rank magicians alone."

Rozaliya then blushed.

"My my, Captain. You flatter me."

The crowd then started to whisper.

"My god, what a beautiful lady."

Tomio then continued to the next king.

Now its a young handsome boy with no expression. The boy had black hair and black eyes. He is about 5 ft 8. The boy looks like he doesn't care about what is happening.

"This is the cold hearted Ishimoto Shuji. I don't get him that well but he is really strong. Making him the strongest King."

"..."

Shuji didn't replied.

Tomio still kept the introduction going.

Tomio then finally came to the girl who had kissed Ryo. She was really young. Younger than all the other Seven Kings. She had long blue hairs. Her eyes were purple. She was really pale. She was wearing a white robe which looked like a goddess' would wear.

"She is the youngest of the Seven Kings. Becoming a S rank magician in the age of 18. She uses holy magic. Her name is Kiana Kaslana."

Kiana then waved at the crowd happily.

While four of the Seven Kings were present. The other three were no where to be found. The crowd then started to whisper.

"Where are the other kings? Did something happen?"

To break the tension between the air. Tomio tried to talk but he was interrupted by Shuji.

His voice was really cool and deep.

"The other three Kings are currently busy with their missions. So, they won't be able to drop by. We know you all wanted to see all the Seven Kings together. But we are really sorry that all of us couldn't make it to this magnificent party."

Tomio then smiled at Shuji.

'Looks like you can talk after all.'

After the introduction. The party continued. Tomio was drinking with the S ranks. Meanwhile Tatsuo was looking at him from behind.

'Tomio-nii is in a good mood.'

Meanwhile in a faraway cave. It was dark. Suddenly, many torches lit up. When the torches lit up, the vision was clear. The inside of the cave was huge. Almost like a throne room. There was indeed a throne. On top of the throne there was a figure sitting while resting his chin on his fist, almost like a king. The figure was huge. It had red skin. 2 huge fangs on mouth. It was a orc. In front of the huge orc. Many other monsters were standing with weapons in their hands. All of them were orcs.

The huge orc then stood up. Bringing his hands forward and giving all the other orcs a speech.

"It is now time! The time where the humans will die! I shall destroy the human world by my own hands and revenge our ancestors. The humans have made us grief. We shall also make them Grief. I now declare war with the humans and work my way to the revival of them."

All the orcs then hyped up. They were banging their huge spears on the ground. The whole ground was shaking. They then let out their war cries.

Behind a rock. 3 of the humans were hiding. They were sweating. One of them was holding a magic crystal which was recordin the incident.

They then whispered to each other.

"What is happening. Isn't this supposed to be a D rank cave? Why is there this many A ranked monsters? Did the guild made a mistake with the rankings?"

"I don't know. But we should get out of here now if we love our lives."

Both of them nodded. All the three of them then turned around and tried to escape.

But suddenly the leader of the orcs spoke.

"We shall first kill those 3 puny humans over there. It will then declare the war."

All three of them then froze.

All the monsters then looked at them.

"Crap. Make a run for it!"

Before they could run. They were surrounded by the orcs.

"Shit. We are surrounded. What shall we do?"

One of them then fell to the ground. He knew he was gonna die there and there is no way to escape.

But suddenly. One of the magician then opened a portal and threw the recording crystal through the portal. On the other side of the portal. It was a grassy land. There was a huge building in sight.

Soon one of the orcs then stabbed the one who had made the portal.

Before dying. He said something.

"I... I'm out of mana."

Then blood spilled out from the middle of the whole crowded orcs.

On the underground prison. The mysterious prisoner was giving out a creepy smile. His face couldn't be seen for the lack of lightings. But his teeth were shiny enough to show his smile.

"Its about time."

Currently on the party. Kiana approached Tatsuo.

"Hey you. How old are you?"

Tatsuo then smiled. And then he replied.

"I'm currently 3."

"You are only 3 and already have higher mana than a rookie?"

"Hehe."

After a few days, Tomio was traininy Tatsuo and Asami.

Suddenly an owl came and sat on Tomio's shoulder. Tomio then noticed the owl had a letter on it's leg.

Tomio then opened the letter.

The letter was from Sheldom, One of the Seven Kings.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Tomio-sama.

It is I, Grisham Sheldom. I'm currently in a pinch. If you remember the recording crystal which was found in front of the Guild Headquarters. I am currently in that cave mentioned in the recording. This orcs are stronger than ordinary orcs. Its almost as if they had used a potion to make them stronger. And the most shocking is that they can talk. I couldn't contact the other kings as they are currently busy with their own mission. I humbly request a backup from the non other Tomio Ida-sama. I got stabbed by their spears in my stomach 2 times and got shot by arrows 7 times. If you could hurry please come.

Sincerely Sheldom Grisham.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tomio was shocked while reading the letter. He was really worried for Sheldom

'To think Sheldom can't complete this mission. Just how strong are this orcs? I need to hurry up before anything happens to him.'

Tatsuo then called Tomio.

"Is something wrong Tomio-nii?"

"Its just that a mission came up. Today's training is finished. You can go now."

"Alright!" Asami then cheered.

Tomio then walked out of the training hall.

'Wait for me Sheldom.'

Tomio then rushed to the Guild Headquarters.
