Ascension of the Monster Queen

When Nessa finished freshening up, she got dressed then exited the bathroom and stretched off.

"You two are being quite chatty this morning, what's going on?" Nessa asked as she sat down beside Isamu and Terou then they looked at her.

"Well, we are discussing how to get stronger," Terou responded and Nessa smiled.

"That's good to know, I will help you guys if you need it, don't hesitate to ask, got it?" She asked and they nodded then she smiled and got up.

"Well, now that you understand, shall we get going?" She asked and they nodded, then got up from the couch and they left the room.

They went down to the lounge of the inn and heard a lot of chattering and some people were even nervous.

"What's going on here?" Nessa asked and at the same time the receptionist was passing by and heard her.

"It's the king, he just placed the city on lockdown, there are men at every entrance and exist, no one can leave, if you ask permission, you either get thrown back or threaten by his men," The receptionist responded and Nessa's eyes widened as she went to the door of the inn and opened it.

She saw the knights patrolling the city and there were a few men, blocking the entrances and the exit of the city.

Nessa knew that the knights were just following orders and knew that there were only a few men whom were working for the king's boss within the city.

"What should we do now?" Isamu asked and Nessa gnashed her teeth, then looked at him and smiled.

"I will figure something out, first, I need you two to eat and keep your energy, in case we need them, come on," She said and they followed her quietly then she gave them their food and they began eating it without any questions.

While they were eating, Nessa went outside the inn and looked around then sighed, wondering if the others were okay at the guild and the team that she was a part of for the time being.

'Hurt them and I will inflict twice as much as pain on you, I am not joking, I have learnt that in order to survive, sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone and I know what mine is,' Nessa thought as the receptionist of the inn approached her and tapped her on her shoulder and she looked at the girl then smiled.

"What do you think is going on?" The girl asked.

"The king trying to seize full control, that's what's going on," She responded and the girl's eyes narrowed, wondering what Nessa was talking about then she sighed and looked at Isamu and Terou as they approached her after they finished eating.

"I will be back later," Nessa said as she was about to walk away and the girl tapped her on her shoulder and she stopped then looked back at her.

"Is it safe?" She asked and Nessa smiled at her.

"Don't worry, you guys will be fine, go on inside," She responded and the girl smiled as Nessa left and she returned inside of the inn.

"Isamu, Terou, I want you guys to stay within the shadows, can you do that?" She asked and they nodded, then disappeared as Nessa head to the guild to check what was going on there.

Before arriving at the guild, Nessa felt eyes on her and she sighed and ignored it, but when she arrived at the guild her eyes widened when she heard the guild members yelling, they sounded angry but when she tried to enter.

A few of the guys, personally working for the king stopped her and she saw that the others were there, but the prince was nowhere to be seen but she knew that he was not harmed.

"Move," Nessa said when she noticed a barrier around the city as well as the guild.

"They locked us off from the inside, after we all came in, the barrier give off lightning and we cannot control it," Sophia said and Nessa looked at her.

"Smart, you guys know that you won't be able to face all of them together so you took them out of the picture," Nessa said and one of the guys chuckled.

"If you want to talk you can go to the king," One of them said and Nessa looked at him then smiled.

'I don't need to go to that bastard, I can take you on without a problem," She said as they were about to attack her and Nessa's eyes began glowing bright orange as an orange circle appeared in the air behind her.

"If I were you, I wouldn't have picked a fight when you are in the wrong," She said as fireball began shooting out of the circle and it was shooting so fast that they didn't get a chance to dodge them and since the barrier was strong, Nessa didn't have to worry about hurting the others.

After the knights saw her attacking them, they surrounded Nessa and she glanced at them then sighed.

"Nessa, you are in trouble, get out of here, we can get out of this," Yonja said and Nessa looked at them then exhaled deeply, wondering where the prince was.

"You guys, do you know what's going on here?" Nessa asked and the knights looked at each other, since they didn't know what she was even talking about.

"I am in no mood to explain," She said as she hit the ground, releasing a flame wall around her and the others smiled as she looked at the two standing in front of the entrance of the guild.

They attacked Nessa using flames and she got hit but to her that was nothing and she landed back on her feet then looked at them as they glared at her.

Nessa was about to make another move when she saw Terou's tail came out from the shadows being the guys and a smirk appeared on Nessa's face.

The others within the guild saw, but stayed silent since they wanted to get out of there, they could get out on their own but that would take more time since the barrier was strong and they had to break it from the inside.
