Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Court of Jesters 1

Einar left the household of Elior to climb the tower. He passed through the congested streets of the city, thinking to himself, how terrible things would be if the monster that was making a scene inside the tower could get out. Einar had learned information about the monstrous being from the tower. The information came from Sir Wayne, the guy who he had saved during the dance. He recalled:

“Ah, you’re the guy who saved me,” Wayne said. “I couldn’t thank you for that day with how urgent things are. What’s your name? I’m Wayne, a lone wolf.”

“Einar Elior,” he said, shaking Wayne’s hand. “Sir Wayne, can you explain to me what you saw?”

Wayne’s eyes dilated. He clicked his tongue, grabbed hold of his drink, and chugged it. They were in an open tavern east of the city. It was a tavern that has the view of the river and the entertainment district. Many men were hunching and drinking as they lock their eyes at the entertainment district.

Wayne said, “It was an ethereal being that appeared out of nowhere. Lad, I came down that place in hopes of gaining glory. However, I saw it, lad. I saw the one vegetated areas of the bottoms floors turned into a scene of hell itself. Carcasses of dragons, liches, and rulers of the night floated dead upon the seas and rivers of blood. In the center of them was the ethereal being. That monster was clad in a cloak of the sky, that being’s sword was like the starry skies and the way it fought was beyond anything that I see. I felt magic but the sword of that being was able to cut through monsters like ease! I thought that I was going to die just by the enormous shock of seeing it. Ancient Dragons and even the Magus Dragon Lords were no match for that being.”

“That strong, huh,” Einar folded his arms. “You escaped?”

“Barely, I was in my last wind and if you haven’t slaughtered the stampede of monsters coming after me. I would have died. I managed because I know this labyrinth well. Damn fools! To think they would fight while this tower is in danger!”

“The tower won’t last long. Is that what you think?”

He glared, “Yes! The tower has been a symbol of unity and power but it isn’t indestructible! It gathers power from the area and that power has been sustaining the barriers keeping that monster inside the tower. It has been pulling monsters out to kill it. However, it cannot be killed! You could hear it, right? The power of that monster is shaking the very ground. The vibrations of that monster’s sword are enough to shake it!”

Einar focused his senses and detected the vibrations, “I can hear the vibrations. This monster is on the fiftieth floor, right?”

“Yes. It has been killing everything in its way. Lad, do you think that this city would survive within a few days? Look at the jesters inside the court, they are still blabbering about who should lead the battle. Bah! They are going to die the moment they face that monster! If the Heretical Princess didn’t convince the Matriarch to gather help from the other countries then we’d be truly dead!”

“Do we have time?”

“Time?” He chugged his drink. “I don’t think we have that thing called time. That monster could break out at any moment. The worst thing that could happen is that the monster would regain its sanity. Aye, that monster wasn’t thinking clearly and there was no trace of wielding that sword properly. But even so, the pure instincts of the monster was able to slaughter the beings. Lad, I am no coward, and it comes to it I would fight that monster with all I got. But I rather not throw my life away for things I do not understand. I have my dreams! I don’t want to throw it away just for a bunch of fools who don’t listen to us!”

Einar could tell that Wayne has been sulking in this place for a while now. The owner of the open tavern was keeping an eye on Wayne, and since wasn’t kicked out for being too drunk. It was clear that Wayne knew the owner of the bar. Einar thought that things really are strange, and if the court continues to be troublesome then this city would fall.

“So what are your plans now, Sir Wayne?”

“I’ll join the fight. The moment the circles of magic around the tower breaks. I will join the fight and at least try to stop that monster.”

“You don’t have the confidence.”

“Because you haven’t seen the monster. I’ve fought with groups of people that could face the likes of Magus Dragons and Undead Lords. I can fight them and I am confident in my ability to face them. But this monster is different, lad. It is a monster that acts more of a force of nature rather than a being that does things. This being is suffocating and in its craze, the being tries to seek the surface. Each floor of the labyrinth is an isolated place. So imagine that monster surfacing in this congested city. Many would die, and this city would fall, and even if we stop the monster, the tower of nimrod would cease to exist. That’s why we need to stop the monster before it surfaces. The labyrinth can heal itself but this city cannot be built back. Once this city falls then there would be no rebuilding it.”

Einar stopped his thoughts. He looked at the tower that has been keeping the North, South, West, and East from coming to the central lands. Einar thought that it won’t be long until the West and North’s quarrel would involve the central lands. The act of calling for help has given them the excuse to ask for a favor. Even though Princess Claudia called the help of everyone, she knew that it was the same as luring wolves into their houses.

The Tower of Nimrod has faced many problems in the past. However, it was now facing a problem that could destroy the tower city.
