The Conquerors Path
chapter-377-30041322

As soon as the gate opened up an intense smell of blood filled my nose, the smell was soo deep that by instincts I whipped my head aside,

'Sigh..... let's get this over with'

Thinking so I placed a mask on my face that regulated the smell, in front of my eyes stood a large pavement spread about, the ground to be walked was crimson red, my eyes first laid upon the huge buildings built beautifully, that now lay destroyed, the sound of cracking and screams filled my ears, taking in all this I took my step into the city of Blood.

I didn't have a lot of time hence I kept walking forward, my hands holding onto the harp as I started to play upon the strings, the blood that didn't dry even till now filled my shoes as the music spread across the entire humongous city, I could see the broken rubles laying everywhere as the tune of my music took over the lands.

The whole city started to tremble, as I felt the monsters hidden within the city awaken, their roars bringing down the world as they rushed to my position, intending to kill me no doubt, a smile graced my lips as the never-ending power within me awakened, my hands pulled at the string with sheer power that caused airwaves enough to wipe out a normal city.

But this was no normal city, the one was built of materials long lost, such a primitive move wasn't enough to harm anything, the waves from me stringing the harp spread across the city, and I could feel the elves that were heading towards me pause as they got heavily affected by the tunes that I spread, the power of purifications started to take action and with my current power no one can break out.

The power of life started to roar out of me as I slowly started to awaken it too around the whole city, its uniqueness giving a hint of life to the atmosphere around me. I didn't stay at a single place as I started to walk forward, heading towards the center of the city where the humongous palace lay, holding a monster far beyond imagination.

My eyes trailed around the whole place as I kept walking, the tune of the harp bringing a beautiful harmony, while the power I was using started to sprout life into the whole city, beautiful plants started to birth out across the whole city, and its properties being special as it started to suck all the blood from the city making the architect beautiful, filling it with a unique aroma.

The whole city was the size of a small country hence my 'walk' was faster than anyone could see, my steps gave birth to several plants, and my back is filled with a beautiful landscape, as I kept 'walking', I could see the infected elves, the powerful ones left behind.

Unlike the elves I faced till now these weren't one their fours, they stood with their backs straight but their eyes were like the rest, brimming with malice but with intelligence allowing them to cause a higher chaos if unleashed, even I had to admit comparing them to the rest within the same realm, the elves could defeat everyone else.

The elves had blood floating around them, their control like nothing I have ever seen, an origin realm individual would blast into blood with a single gaze from them but to the current me they weren't any different from ants as I easily moved through the path to the palace.

Their unfocused eyes gained a hint of lost clarity as my fingers started to speed up, the tempo going from easy to higher, as the sheer wind pressure from me moving was causing unprecedented waves of air cyclones, my power allowing me to see through the whole city that was now blooming with a beauty of green and red.

Plants of all sizes and power turning this city beautiful again, my senses everything as I could feel these elves regaining a bit of their clarity, with my speed I zoomed through them, my tune not even stopping for a bit, and just like that I had reached the gates to the palace situated up top, the door being ripped apart as I entered inside it.

Here I found that a large number of blood elves exists but they didn't react when they saw me, before there could even register my presence my tune had placed them under the chanting cover of purification, they stood there like zombies as the soft blue light from me entered their bodies, with my current power it isn't even a fight as I easily started to purify them from the curse planned within.

I slowed down a bit as I took the majesty of the palace, my tempo growing even higher, my hands moving like a beautiful artwork, the palace as a whole was huge as I trudged through, the ceilings reached sky high as several rubles spread about.

Here several powerful elves were found and just like before they stood frozen in place, easily I reached before a huge door that seemingly opened on its own for me, knowing where it is I entered coming upon the throne room, where the throne lay in a higher seating, seemingly like a god I found Alberdo looking down at me.

Unlike the rest just a hint from my tune brought him his complete sanity back, I could see it in his eyes that in front of me was a monarch of Blood, enjoying the performance that I am giving, I gave a small bow of respect after which with a graced smile I opened my mouth to sing.

I lie awake tonight,

Wishing for things I can change.

I try to convince myself,

But it's all so strange.

Is it me,

Or is it you?

Do I try,

Or are we through?

So long as we've shared

Just to walk away.

But so much hurt

To want to stay.

Why do we do this,

Try to hurt the other more,

Only to watch one

Walk right out the door?

I love you so much,

Yet I push you to the point of breaking,

But why do you play with my heart

And never stop taking?

Is this the end

Or a new beginning?

Only one can guide me

When my head is spinning.

Don't push,

Don't try,

Don't stress,

Don't cry.

That is what plays

In my head

As I try to close my eyes

And just go to bed

(A/N: Poem is called what's next and it's by someone called Amanda, not mine!)

My voice thundered over spreading through the entire city, I kept singing each lyric with passion, and as I kept doing so Alberdo tapped his hand on his throne, my sense soon picked up every blood elf moving here and within seconds, they surrounded the hall, not many were left but the ones remaining were more than enough to cause destruction.

I didn't stop my words as they flew out of my mouth, a poem of heartbreak that penetrated the hearts of all the elves, bringing out to them their true selves. My hand kept moving in speed with my words, as the blue light from me became brighter covering up the great hall filled with cursed beings.

The hall itself was the size of a village, I stood in the center of the gathering of elves, seated up above Alberdo closed his eyes enjoying the rhythm of my words, the blue light from me kept getting brighter and brighter, affecting everything.

By now most of them regained their clarity but stood there listening to my words, they too closing their eyes as they listened to the final tribute I had prepared for them.
