World End: The Successor's Contract

Zeno, Hina and her Valkyries, walked toward the palace with no intention of hiding from the guards.

The footsteps of soldiers drawing in began to echo through the surroundings.

Multiple guards swarmed their location, surrounded the place while aiming their weapon at them.

"I came here to speak to your leader, Dazai, tell him Zeno of the Rizaha clans request an audience with him" Zeno yelled.

A woman dressed in a black kimono came out of the palace, "Lord Zeno, you came in with quite some guests" She uttered.

All the guards moved to the side, leaving a path for her to waking through, she was known as the leader's adviser, Yui Akari.

"Where is Dazai?" Zeno asked, focusing his gaze on her but trying not to get distracted by her.

"Lord Dazai is out on a quest, he will return shortly" She said, looking at Hina who had her eyes scanning the place for any danger, "If you don't mind waiting for him inside, I'm sure I'll be back soon".

"Sure why not" Zeno and Hina walked inside, while the rest of the Valkyries stood outside.

Meanwhile, some of Zeno's ninjas had already infiltrated the palace, they were three in number, they got to a room and noticed that the door was locked.

Neko, one of the Ninja, iced the door by using her magic breath, she then used her kunai to slam it, which made the doorknob fall to the ground.

They opened the door and slowly walked inside, it was dark and cold, with no breeeze flowing out of the room.

"It's so dark, '' Isabelle, one of the ninja said, stretching out her hands which led to a small magic light emitting from her palm.

With this little light they were able to look inside the room with ease, but they couldn't find anything, all that was in the room were weapons and armour.

"Do you think Master Slevin was wrong? There's no one here" Neko uttered, placing her kunai back in her outfit.

"Let's not make assumptions yet" The last ninja, Komado said, he went to his knees and placed his hands on the ground.

Releasing his magic, like a sonic wave his magic spread around the building before sending the signal back to him.

He was able to get the layout of the entire building, he sensed that a large number of people were under where they stood.

"There are people below us, we should-" Before Komado could finish what he was saying, three guards bursted into the room.

"Intruders!" One of the guards yelled, charging inside with his spear aimed forward.

Isabelle jumped, giving one of the guards a kick to the face, "Komado, go!" She yelled, wrapping her fist in light magic.

Neko slammed her hands on the ground and a huge ice erected from the ground blocking the guard's path.

More guards started pouring in, rushing through the door which made it harder for the ninjas to keep at bay.

A black spatial portal appeared under Kamodo's legs and his body started moving down as he watched his teammates battle the guards.

When he landed in the next room, the first thing he saw was Anna sleeping on the ground and the women who were shocked at his arrival.

All the women screamed, gathering in one corner of the room as they worried about who the ninja was.

As soon as Kamodo landed on the floor, Uta's eyes lit up, "He's here" She muttered, she could slowly feel her magic returning to her.

'This must be the captured girls' Kamodo thought to himself, he stood to his feet looking around to see how he could get them all out of there.

"Hey, I have a question for you" Uta said, standing on her feet, she dusted her body before walking toward the door and placing her hand on it.

"You are here to rescue the kidnapped girls, am I correct?" Uta asked.

"Yes, I am" Kamodo responded, 'The magic Aura and this lady is massive! Is she a demon?'.

"And the one who gave you the order, I want his name," Uta said, using her right eye to look at Kamodo.

"You wish to know my master? For what reason?" Kamodo asked.

"You won't tell me then?"

"... Zeno Ayato, I serve the successor" He responded, he reached out to the small sword that he placed on his back.

He wasn't sure why Uta asked, but he was ready just in case she was willing to attack him.

Uta smiled, "I see" A magic circle appeared on her hand and the door just melted, "You should get these girls out of here, especially the one sleeping over there " Uta said, pointing at Anna who was asleep.

"Are you a friend of my master?" Kamodo asked.

"Why of course" Uta whooshed out of the room so fast that it released a wild wind after her.

. . . .

Zeno sat down on the ground with Hina, one of the maids in the castle came to serve them their tea.

'As I thought, none of his servants have the gift for magic, it shouldn't be a problem completing the mission' Zeno thought to himself, 'But… I can't say the same for his generals' He looked at Yui who just stood at the side of the room watching them.

One of the guards ran inside the room, walking to her side to whisper something in her ear.

"Get the reinforcements ready" She said and the guard immediately ran back outside. She bowed her head at Zeno, "Something came up, please do leave whenever you feel uncomfortable" She said before walking out of the room in a calm manner.

Hina placed her hand on her sword that was resting on the ground, she thought of slaying the Yui as she was walking out of the room.

But Zeno held her hand, nodding his head as he changed his focus to the ceiling.

Hina looked up to see Neko, she was on top of the ceiling, she hide inside so on one could find her.

"Master, all the prisoners have been secured" She whispered.

Zeno sighed, looking at the maid that was in the room with them, "We'll be taking our leave now" Zeno uttered, standing to his feet.

"I apologise that you could meet Lord Daizai," The maid uttered.

"It's okay, there are always other days" Zeno held Hina's hand and walked out of the palace.

As soon as he step out, he saw Dazia and his servents standing outside with five female slaves tied with neck collars.

"What do we have here?" Dazai grinned, slamming his spear on the ground, "What is the so-called successor looking for in my village?".

"Dazai, I see you haven't changed your disgusting habits, release the girls" Zeno said.

"You have some guts telling me what to do in my village" Dazia grinned, a huge barrier appeared,covering the whole of the palace.

"Now you are trapped here with me, I've been waiting for this" Dazia grinned.

"You have it all wrong Dazai, you are the one trapped here with me" Zeno uttered.

From every corner, Zeno's warriors began pouring out surrounding Dazia and his men.

"Now I'm going to ask you again, release the woman you've captured" Zeno's eyes lit blue as he stared Dazai in the eye.
