Chapter 149 - The Takeover
Aman was moving swiftly in the cover of darkness , he was moving towards his father's bedroom inside the castle. Aman was Lv 160 necromancer , and naturally his speed far surpassed the lv 70 guards of the palace as they were slain even before they could blink.
Rahim the librarian / wizard was the follower of the crown prince , and one of the strongest existances in the empire at tier 4 level 230. He was the one who would set up the illusionary formation.
Aman's plan of killing the emperor Cervantez91 was simple . He did not dare confront the king one or one , or hell even five on one , as he knew the battle prowess of his father. He decided to take a dastardly way to ascend.
He decided to trap his fathers room , in an endless illusion using a powerfull formation set up by Rahim , and powered by the red high grade illusionary stone.
It was more of a prison , than a deathtrap , however without adequate supplies of food and water it would be only a matter of time before the emperor's strength started to wane .... Slowly but surely causing him to die.
Without foreign help , breaking the formation from the inside was not possible at tier 4 , hence Aman was confident in his actions.
Aman quietly peeked inside the royal bedroom , to see his father quietly sleeping. This gave him a sense of relief , he had no qualms as to making his temporary sleep a permanent one and granting him eternal rest.
He summoned his best undead deathknights and made them guard the corridor , nobody could interfere now , as Rahim started his chant.
Aman detested his father who was still in the prime of his life , and powerfull beyond reason. His father was righteous and talented and wanted aman to be the same. However how could Aman be the same? His light shined soo bright that Aman could only choose darkness to stand out.
Ascending to the throne in a perilous time at the young age of 16 , his father ruled with absolute authority for close to 70 years. However even After Aman was now 40 , being the crown prince for over 20 years , there was no talks about him ascending.
Aman understood at that point that the throne would not be given to him , he would have to take it! An intense desire for the throne propelled his descent to the dark side faster , and after being a necromancer for close to 15 years , his perception towards the dead changed. He did not mourn death , but celebrated it. Perhaps thats what gave him the courage to kill his own father.
Rahim started the chant , and the mana density around the room started to change. Cervantez91 naturally felt something amiss , as he was jolted awake.
If he wanted to , he could have dashed out of the room at that point , however something inside the man broke when he saw his son staring at him with black eyes and an aura of death. He knew what that meant , that his son was a necromancer...
Not knowing how to process this information , he stared at his son for a while ..... And alas that while was all that Rahim needed to cast the spell , endless illusion.
Boom! Red energy swerved out of the gem as the entire room was covered with red runed. And sealed in an endless illusion!
Rahim panted , his face pale , clearly the spell took a lot out of him. He looked towards Aman to gauge his emotions , wether he looked happy or sad.... However Aman was emotionless , as he just said ..... Well the emperor is dead , time for the crown prince to take the throne!
Rahim bowed politely , this was the guy he backed to get the throne ... As to why a tier 4 wizard like him would back a tier 3 necromancer like Aman gain the throne ..... It was naturally realted to someone else pulling the strings behind the scenes , however his current job was to satisfy Aman's every demand , and he shall do it.
The news that the emperor was killed by his own son spread quickly , as Aman did not hide his ascend to the throne , as his class as a necromancer was revealed without hiding.
The kingdom plunged into chaos as riots broke out everywhere , the people of Hazelgroove would not acknowledge the murderer and practicioner of dark arts as their emperor.
The church of life got serious pressure from the public to do something about the situation , but not many knew that the church's hands were tied in this situation. The church had recognized the legitimacy of prince Aman's claim to the throne when he was made the crown prince , and by law , when the king Cervantez91 died , he would rightfully claim the throne . They could not challenge it even if his class was a necromancer.
A new era had begun in Hazelgroove as the game's first kingdom wide special event began

Rudra smiled seeing the notification ..... It was finally that time, the Alliance's nightmare had just begun, and Rudra would make sure to make it a lot lot worse for them.
