This feels great.
To be able to use the body freely.
Heh...
CHAPTER 132: TYRANNY IS ROYAL
Haidoro had taken control over Pratik's body for a temporary duration.
The skin had turned greenish.
An evil smirk that couldn't be hidden.
A desire to destroy everything.
Malice that dwarfed everything.
He was Haidoro.
{ H.P denotes the dialogues spoken by Haidoro through Pratik's mouth. }
[H.P]: These clothes surely restrain him.
Haidoro said, making a bitter face.
Pratik (inner voice): Don't even try to tear them!! These uniforms are very costly! Last time when I gave it to Yash, I got scolded a lot by Master Krishna!
Pratik's inner voice pleaded with Haidoro.
[H.P]: What a brat.
Rocks flew away.
Lohit stood up and walked towards Haidoro, still mistaking him for Pratik.
[Lohit]: What was with that sudden power?
Lohit said, giving Haidoro an angry stare.
[H.P]: And what's with this attitude?
Haidoro asked with a smirk and an even more deadly stare.
The Earth cracked.
In a moment, both fighters disappeared.
The quake trembled through the entire hill upon which the castle was built.
[Lohit]: Manifestation, Speed.
[H.P]: Manifestation, Speed.
Thinking he had the upper hand was Lohit's grave mistake.
Haidoro's Manifestation was far superior.
It had evolved since what it was supposed to be four years ago.
Within a few seconds, Lohit was thrown away like a rag doll.
Haidoro landed gracefully with his hands in his pockets.
[H.P]: Oh... ohohoho. I wanted you to last longer. Maybe you are too pathetic to be a Dark Dragoling.
[Lohit]: Shut up.
Lohit said, using Matter Manipulation to crush Haidoro.
However, the attack split cleanly in half.
Haidoro walked out calmly.
Unscathed.
[H.P]: I am surprised that someone as lowly as you can rule over something.
Lohit secretly activated his Space Manipulation.
He would use it to teleport Haidoro away without Impact Negligence.
As soon as Haidoro entered a certain range, Lohit triggered it.
Haidoro was teleported.
Impact Negligence refers to the phenomenon that neglects the effects of teleportation.
If a mass is teleported from a height h to ground level, the impact it would suffer without Negligence would be directly proportional to the height biquadratically, i.e. h⁴.
Lohit had successfully teleported Haidoro hundreds of miles below without teleportation negligence.
No human body should survive this.
Those were the thoughts of Lohit.
He wasn't wrong.
Even the highest-tier Standard Class Sorcerers would die instantly from such an impact.
However...
It was different this time.
The ground tore open.
Haidoro bounced back as if nothing had happened.
Haidoro made a surprised face.
He wasn't even slightly concerned.
Not even wounded.
[H.P]: I see. You refused Impact Negligence on me before teleporting me away. Aren't you a little cunning? That explains why my Space Manipulation was cancelled.
Teleporting beside Lohit, Haidoro grabbed him by the collar and threw him upward with unbelievable speed.
[H.P]: I had already activated Space Manipulation around myself. Your Impact Negligence was countered by it unknowingly.
Breaking through many ceilings, Lohit reached the upper side of the castle.
Haidoro appeared almost instantly as well.
[H.P]: Tyranny is royal. You don't have what it takes to keep royalty. I will strip from you of it.
Haidoro kicked Lohit, destroying the top of the castle along with Lohit's flag.
One of the Sky Dragons flying nearby sensed deep malice.
It was coming from Haidoro.
The dragon viewed Haidoro as an enemy and started approaching him.
As soon as the dragon tried to eat Haidoro—
The dragon burst like a balloon.
Haidoro said while walking towards Lohit.
[Lohit]: What has gotten into you?
[Haidoro]: What has gotten into me? A devil, perhaps.
Haidoro said with a smirk before kicking Lohit away.

Castle Core
The spell was ready.
The rebels created the necessary signs.
The chants were done.
They thanked all the deceased who had stalled for time.
Within three seconds, the spell was activated.
Something covered the entire castle.
This spell would last for only a few minutes.
A spell that would make Lohit, Sonavarnah, and the others ordinary by blocking their Dark Energy Reserves.
With a beep—
It finally depleted the Dark Energy Reserves.
The spell worked as follows:
It cut the interaction with the new Dark Energy Reserves pathway of the body while also depleting the Dark Energy Reserves already spread throughout the body.
It happened.
The rebels there danced with joy.
Finally...
A chance to defeat Sonavarnah.
Werner tried using his power.
It didn't work.
The rebels tried using their Sorcery.
It didn't work either.
The spell was successful.
With happy faces, the rebels launched themselves towards Werner Lieberg at once.
Werner couldn't handle so many opponents.
He was physically weak.
What made him the most powerful Royal Guard was his technique and its application.
Without Dark Energy Reserves, he couldn't operate it.
And thus—
He was eliminated by the rebels.
YAAAAAAAH!!!!
They cheered.
A battle cry to boost morale.
Kel and Lila were smiling after seeing this.
They had completely wiped out the other Royal Guards.
Kel was sitting on top of their corpses.
Lila was sitting next to him, handing him a water bottle.
Meanwhile, the Sky Dragons and Mountain Dragons approached Sonavarnah.
Sonavarnah had now been forced back into his human form.
No more Dragon Beast Form.
No more Dragoling Form.
Just human form.
A few rebels entered the castle.
Others turned back to finally face Sonavarnah now that he had become human.
Rebels were still monsters.
Even without Dark Energy Reserves, they were still monsters.
Eliminating a human won't be that hard.
That idea completely shattered when they saw the hopeless reality.
All the Sky Dragons and Mountain Dragons were dead.
And atop them sat Sonavarnah in his human form, completely drenched in blue fluid.
The blood of those dragons.
His battle axe's thirst had been quenched.
He glared at the rebels.
The rain had stopped by now.
Sonavarnah started descending from the mountain of dragon corpses.
The stars dawned as Sonavarnah descended.
It was as if darkness itself was walking towards them.
One rebel, gathering all his courage, tried attacking Sonavarnah.
However, before he could even perceive it—
The rebel was already lying beneath Sonavarnah's foot.
Cold.
[Sonavarnah]: I need more...
Sonavarnah said as he started walking forward.
The rebels, filled with deep fear, started running away from him.
Towards the castle.
Kel and Lila, who were resting, were alerted by the rebels about Sonavarnah.
[Kel]: Seems like there's no rest.
Kel said with an annoyed face.
[Lila]: What's more is that we aren't exactly built for combat.
This was the day when, instead of water...
Blood flowed from the mountains.
Haidoro, who was approaching Lohit, suddenly fell down.
His takeover had been disrupted by the Dark Energy Reserves Depletion Spell.
Pratik's body lay motionless.
The body couldn't decide whom to give control to.
Two souls couldn't operate normally with no Dark Energy Reserves.
Lohit stood up and approached Pratik, unsheathing his sword.
In a swift motion, he tried to eliminate Pratik.
Fail.
Pratik was rescued.
Lohit, who had himself been turned into a human, looked to his right.
A monster.
A rebel?
No.
One of his guards.
Yuwah.
The real man behind the fall of Lohit.
[Lohit]: You... betrayed me?
Yuwah gently placed Pratik's body on the floor.
[Yuwah]: You betrayed your subjects.
Yuwah said, drawing his own blade.
[Lohit]: Have you forgotten what I did to your sister?
Lohit said with a smirk, later licking his tongue.
Yuwah's eyes turned blue with rage.
[Yuwah]: I haven't.
And I will make sure you won't.
They ran towards each other.
The blades clashed.
The war had reached its final stage.
To be continued...

EXTRAS:-
HUNTER DRAGON'S QUEST 3
The sorcerers who had turned away started walking towards the station.
They were smiling.
Seems like the legendary ice cream thief wasn't actually a bad person.
Just then, one of them noticed a person wearing a black coat stealing ice cream from a kid.
Two legendary ice cream thieves?
They followed him.
Caught him.
Handed him over to the cops.
And started walking back to the station.
Just when they stepped inside the train—
They fell unconscious.
After waking up, they found themselves in another dimension.
An announcement could be heard.
DEAR PASSENGERS, WELCOME TO ANOTHER REALM. PLEASE SUFFER.
They realized that this was the infamous train that occasionally isolated people and took them into another dimension.
However...
They were the only ones in the train?
They started checking.
After walking a few steps, they entered another compartment.
There appeared to be one person sitting in his seat.
They approached him.
Wait.
It was Crocus.
Disguised as a human.
The same person they had mistaken for the legendary ice cream thief before.
After seeing him, they exclaimed—
THE KIND LEGENDARY ICE CREAM THIEF?!
Crocus looked at them with a surprised face.
A sweat drop appeared at the back of his head.
WHAT THIEF?!
