Chapter 166: Sam Lucas, Died? by Harem-Fan

     Upon entering my carriage, my team for Demon Island's End of Year Exam has come together while we travel to Exodus.

     My team consists of...

• Zeke Haze-Wind Vanguard
• Chuck Donald-Dark Vanguard
• Nevin glen-Earth Vanguard
• Franklin Starling-Fire Strong Knight
• Nancy Sandstorm-Fire Healer
• Kim Winter-Water Mage
• Dream Windless-Fire Summoner
• Sam Lucas-Electric & Water Summoner

     And the last two people in the carriage are my Personal Maid, Jasmin Windless and my wife, Headmistress Kayo Eon.

     Kayo is sitting on one of the couches with Nancy, and Jasmin.

     The four men are each sitting in one of the four single armchairs, and I am on the last couch with Dream and Kim.

     Outside the carriage's windows, we see the scene outside leaving the city, and Kayo is explaining the trip details.

     When the 1,200 (600 year 1, and 600 year 2) students line up outside the city, Queen Salinas Argus will open several portals after we leave the Isis Oasis, she and the caravan will make it to the South East Anubis Gate Rest-area by nightfall.

     Chuck crossed his leg and said with a smile.

     "I was so bummed when Gloria and Glenda said they had to hang with these teams on the way there, sigh..."

     Franklin asked his new fiance.

     "Nancy, can you maybe heal Chuck, it is painful to look at him."

     Currently, Chuck looks like a man who pissed onto an electric-socket, and he has a couple char marks on his smiling face, and his hair is frizzy. Just looking at his sad state, you might think smoke would come out of his mouth when he talks.

     Chuck waved his hand to Nancy and said.

     "No need, I already healed my wounds with my [Fast Healing] ability, this is just cosmetic damage I got before we left, hehe."

     Nevin, confusedly asked.

     "Did that Demon Fox do it to you, and why?"

     A kinda lewd smile proudly graced his lips as he bragged.

     "Yeah Chew, that little annoying Fox was mad for Gloria, because after I kissed her goodbye, I hugged and kissed my new lady, Glenda, her older sister. Chew was pissed and zapped me, so I faked it and fell to the ground twitching, hehe... That little bastard got punished and put back into summons space, and now my girls feel bad, so let me keep my look for a while, and Chew stays locked up for the night, get me?"

     Kim and Dream giggle, and Frank, faking being a good guy said.

     "Chuck, you are despicable."

     Chuck drank his whisky and just proudly gave Frank a ThumbsUp and nodded yes to him.

     Zeke then asked me.

     "Hey Sam, what is the group makeup of your other wives going to Demon Island?"

     "Vera, Dial, Kelly, Megan, Sue, Rando, Oliver, and John. Due to a death in the winter Mercenary challenge, Vera's group was able to pick up an extra Mage in the group in place of a Knight, while one group only has 7 members. I wanted to use that slot to be a Knight role, but the rules forbade it."

     Nevin said.

     "Oliver and John are both noble Knights, and good at being Vanguards, also Rando also knows them and has teamed with them."

     Kayo sipping plain black coffee said.

     "Well, Zeke is a Prince, so all the Prince and Princesses must be in one of two groups for safety, so that is part of it."

     I then said about the first years.

     "Morgan, Lane, and Gloria will also be in a team heading into the Undead Lands, but I am not familiar with their other members."

     Frank said with a sigh.

     "Man, that scary three headed Hell Hound, Morgan contracted with, is insanely strong, to think it came from the Plane of Death."

     Looking outside, we had just passed through the Gate Portal from the Capital and were exiting the Gate Portal in Isis Oasis. Now our group will leave the City, and then Mage Queen Argus will open her magic to make some jumps...

     Kim leaned on my right arm, and poured me a drink, then asked.

     "Sam dear, did Zoe take back the letter I wrote for Karl?"

     I kissed the worried Kim's cheek and said warmly.

     "Yes, because I also wrote him a letter about the sights. The letters for my Mother, Dad, Rebeca, and even one for Yasmin were sent."

     Nevin asked in a hurry.

     "What about Milly's letter?"

     "Don't worry, it was sent with Rebeca's at Rosecrans. Zoe will bring back return letters from everyone before we hit Demon Island."

     Jasmin sighs and says as she gets up to get more refreshments for everyone.

     "Master, your ability to use the [Safe Haven] and Mage [Gate Portal] is truly powerful, it will change warfare for the Humans when we all go to the Eastern Kingdoms land one day."

-

     Thousands of miles to the southeast of Anubis...

     A 6 foot tall humanoid with a dark brown cloak, covering body bandages, was overlooking a valley at the edge of the desert.

     He was holding an oversized Falchion with rust-spots, and his yellow eyes fixed on an ambush point being erected. The 9th Circle Mummy King was giving orders to his minions.

     [Make sure the Dragon Ballista are ready to fire, we have only one mission... Kill Sam Lucas, ensuring that Princess Lorelei will die.]

     The 100 Terracotta Warrior Death Constructs all bow to their Scorpion King, and give orders...

     A pair of Mummy Mages are continually animating the dead Scorpion Beasts killed by themselves, giving them an army of thousands of disposable minions.

     A Death Knight in tattered leather, and paired Scimitars, was holding a magical copper mirror, and reported.

     [Scorpion King, the 13th Queen Zulu is contacting you...]

     The Death Knight knelt on one knee, holding up the mirror to face the Mummy King. Then the King injected Earth Aura, and an image appeared.

     In the mirror, the previously revealed Summons of Elissa were there, her one yellow and one white eye glowing.

     [Is Sam dead yet? Did you turn him into an Undead?]

     The Scorpion King shook his head, and his gravelly voice came.

     [The caravan has not shown yet, but our preparations are flawless, he will die as soon as he steps out of the carriage. I am prepared to lose all of my forces to the Mage Human Queen, but Sam Lucas will die. The Dragon Killing Ballista is armed with a magical bolt tied to his blood to guide it to him without the ability to avoid it, it can kill an 8th Circle Dragon in one shot.]

     [Alright, do not die, because my Master is going to break through soon, and she can then summon two new monsters to replace that damn Demon and Dread Lorelei. Be ready to become her Summons if you feel the call, alright, I am busy here, good luck...]

     Then the copper mirror returned to normal, and the King waved his mummified hand.

     After his Death Knight retreated, he saw in the far distance, a large 90 foot wide portal in the open sands appear. He nodded and yelled to the surroundings with his Aura infused voice...

     [They are coming, take your positions...]

-

     Salinas has opened the 3rd and last [Gate Portal] for the day, and after entering the mountains, the Rest-stop will hold them for the night, and tomorrow, they will be home in Exodus.

     As Salinas watched the caravan and small army walk through the gate, Salem next to her sighed and asked.

     "Sigh, Sister, what has been on your mind, you are colder and more irritated than normal, what is wrong?"

     Her nerves are shot, because when she escaped that night, she was unable to find her underwear, and she was not sure if her Brother or another saw it in the private room.

     After having some time alone, she finally managed to suppress her chaotic feelings for Sam, but even now, the phantom feelings of being dominated that night, surface randomly.

     She said as the last carriage passed, and the two walked behind it...

     "I am distracted on how to handle your marriage, now that you are no longer a Prince, but the Husband of Lady Amy Holt, and the Demon Island issue, that is all..."

     Just as Salinas closed the gate behind her and the caravan, a major disturbance came and the whole caravan stopped with chaotic voices.

     Salinas used her Ice Magic to get a better view... Light-blue runes of magic swirl in the air and under her feet...

     "Ice battlement, come to me... [Area Ice Utility]"

      And from under Salem and her own feet, a pillar 20 feet wide that rose 40 feet up with a spiral staircase going to the ground was formed, and what the two saw made them worried...

     From the distant canyon valley, a couple of thousand black Undead Scorpion Beast the size of large dogs were charging to attack the caravan.

     The Vanguard Knights in the front formed a line of defense to intercept the massive wave of Undead creatures.

     Salinas used her Magic to raise her voice.

     [We are under attack by an Undead Army, preparing for battle... [Ice Age]!]

     As the stunning Mage Queen held her hands high to the sky, magical clouds suddenly blocked the sun, and the temperature in a 9 mile diameter was suddenly below freezing...

     Her eyes glowed in pale blue light as she glared at the black sea of death, and suddenly most of the creatures grew ice patches that quickly covered their bodies, and in less than 6 seconds, ¾ of the charging monsters froze solid, and were crumbling into smaller ice chunks, but many of the monsters still remained with only damage sustained.

     But their Undead bodies ignored the missing parts of their bodies, and continued forward.

     The Ice Age spell has not stopped, and is continuously chilling and killing monsters in the area. The power of the 9th Circle Mage is one of the greatest threats on any battlefield, as they can exclude allies.

     But there is also an equal and heavy cost to this battlefield destroying spell, it uses up nearly half of a normal Mages mana reserves, and Salinas had used a few Gates in succession, and her strength has nearly bottomed out.

     Salinas, knelt on one knee breathing heavily, while her magic consumes her power...

     Panting she forces herself to watch as the two sides connect.

     At that moment, she subconsciously had looked towards where Sam's carriage was, and she saw him exit, wielding a pair of golden Scimitars.

     After he jumped out, Kayo, Jasmin, Dream, and Chuck Donald had all jumped out to see...

     ROOOOOOOOOAR~ WHOOOOOOOOOSH~! BOOOOOOOOM~! A streak of black-light came shooting like a meteorite towards Sam's position. The streaking attack made dragon screaming sounds as it traveled.

     Then the black-light struck Sam's body, and exploded after shattering his entire uppermost body section into a bloody gory mess...  (Fatality. Mortal Kombat style)

     The kind of death the spell [Breath of Life] cannot fix, only a [Raise Dead] that the Army currently doesn't have, and Sam cannot summon Zoe while dead.

     Seeing the giant ballista Bolt tail half stuck into the earth, still shaking with red gore everywhere, Salinas' heart crumbled...

     "Ahh~?! Noooooooo~!"

     Now she fell to her hands and both knees, and did not notice her tears...
