Eros had sent the Lightning attack in all directions without warning.
However, apart from those in front, his attack dis not have much of an effect.
"SHIELDS!!!" Lieutenant Vapor ordered on top of his voice.
Immediately, they lifted up their shields in defense.
At first, Eros gave a cocky smirk.
This was electricity he was sending into the environment.
Yet, these people were using metal shields to block his attacks.
It was easy to guess what was going to happen.
However, it did not play out the way the usual way.
The moment the lightning came in contact with the shields, it bounced off it's metallic surface and headed back for Eros.
"Shit!" He cursed.
*BOOM!*
The attacks all converged on his location.
The blast was so big that it blasted the ground pushing everything apart.
A little crater remained were Eros had stood.
Smoke and dust went up into the air.
Lieutenant Vapor peeped through the side of his shield.
He looked at the spot Eros had attacked from.
He gave a cocky smile.
"Idiot! We are knights under the King himself. Our weapons are all soul weapons. Although of low grade, it is still more than enough to get rid of vermin like you."
The blast had also gotten Viscount. However, apart from some burns on her skin, she was still alive.
This was something that Lieutenant Vapor noticed.
"Get her!" He ordered.
Viscount waved her hands and arrows with green light glowing at the tip left her bow into the air.
All of which went in all directions, straight for the soldiers.
Instinctively, some of them raised their shields once more, but it was as of the arrows had a life of their own.
They snaked around the shields for the necks of the soldiers.
"Ahhh!!!" Screams went out in all directions as they blood splashed into the air.
Lieutenant Vapor in his anger stood to his feet and slammed his shield into the ground.
*Earth Technique. QUAKE!!!*
From the point were the shield hit the ground, the earth split like the roots of a tree outwards towards her direction.
*Boom!*
The hit made Viscount cough out blood and some of her insides.
She frowned heavily.
This people were more disastrous than she could handle.
Even now, she could see that they were changing formation for a better attack.
This was the force of the king's own silver guards.
She was not enough to take them on, and she was well aware of that.
She immediately made her decision.
She had to get away from here if not, the only thing awaiting her was death.
She launched an arrow in the air.
This was a different, and more special arrow.
She launched it into the air and it exploded a bright light.
The moment it did, the knights tried to cover their eyes.
Taking advantage of the moment, she kicked against the ground as she made way for her escape.
Unfortunately, Lieutenant Vapor had experienced eyes.
"She is trying to get away! GET HER!!!"
As he ordered, the knights rushed after her.
A few seconds after they had gone, a figure materialized from the crater on the ground.
It was Eros.
That explosion with the lightning had only been an escuse to get away.
He went in the opposite direction that the knights had left.
Now that they were distracted from him, as a result of Viscount's actions, it was an opportunity to get away.
Eros went back to the Manor.
On getting there, he was met by Shade.
One look at Eros and she knew it was him.
After all, she was part snake.
Their sense of smell could not be so easily deceived.
His mask was not enough to hide his identity from her.
Then again, it was not like he needed to hide it from her.
She was already his woman.
"My king!"she hurried up to him, "Amanda has already led the Medusas and the Nagas into the Snake Forest."
Eros nodded.
"Good, then we should get going too."
Eros had already dropped Dan in his carriage. Penny too was also already in the carriage by the time he had dropped Dan.
She was the one that informed him that Lady Frostbite had gone back for Dan.
All except lady Frostbite was accounted for.
However, for now, they was nothing he could do about it.
It was best he saved those at hand first.
Eros nodded at Shade as he carried her in a bridal position.
*Mirage steps!!!*
He activated his movement technique and his after image was left behind as he rushed into the Snake Forest.
This was not like the first time Eros was here.
Now, he had become the king of the Snake Forest and the snake tribes.
This meant that the Snake Forest washis home.
He took one last look at the destruction that had happened in the Viscount's lands and sighed before he proceeded into the Snake Forest.
It was just as he had thought it would be.
That night, the Silver knights of the king rounded up nobles from all about the Viscount's territory.
Those that refused arrest were immediately killed.
It was an unofficial blood bath.
Nobles were seized up like criminals and transported to the Royal Palace.
Meanwhile, Eros and his grand children remained in the safety of the Snake Forest.
Naturally, the Silver knights went to his territory to search for him.
However, finding him was an impossibility.
Eros knew the decree.
The order had been to bring in every nobleman under the Viscount.
However, every one in his territory had seen him leave the Tate Estate for the Viscount's birthday party together with lady Frostbite.
Lady Frostbite was also in the custody of the knights as evidence that Eros had made it to the party.
It was easy conclusion for them that he might have died during the attack on the Viscount's manor by the Grand Order.
After all, they were many nobles that had lost their lives.
According to Ero's calculations, he knew that his Estate and the people he left behind would not be troubled because they were not nobles.
The order had been for only nobles to be brought in.
In this light, Eros was in the clear.
Penny was taken aback by the things she saw in the Mountain of the Medusa people.
These were two tribes of snake people that were entirely women.
On arriving at the mountain, she was treated well, and with care.
After all, she was Ero's grand daughter. She was practically a princess here.
They gave her only the best of places to stay and treated her with respect.
Penny had heard about the snake tribes from books.
This was nothing like what she had read.
Of course she saw many of the women that preferred their half snake form than staying in their human form, but they were not ferocious, and were rather very welcoming.
The moment they arrived at the Mountain, Eros had said that he had important things he needed to attend to and handed her into Queen Eli's hands.
An entire day without seeing Eros had already passed and Pennywnas starting to get worried about not seeing him.
It was time for Dinner and Shade, Amanda and Queen Eli joined Penny at the dinner table.
The cave was lit well with soul lightning fire flies.
Even though these place was a cave room, it felt more like an artistical carved out designed home for royalty.
However, Penny could not appreciate it's beauty for worry of her brother and Granddad.
Meals were placed before her but even after a few minutes into the meal, she had not yet touched her food.
Queen Eli noticed this.
"Princess Penny, are you not hungry?"
The way she was addressed took her a bit by surprise. Now that she thought about it, she had been hearing them call the Snake women refer to her as princess all day.
"No, it's just that..." She paused, and then she took a deep breath in as she voiced her concerns, "did you guys eat my granddad!?"
The question had come out unexpectedly and it made all three women pause.
They looked at one another for a quick second, and then they all had flash backs of the same memory and burst in a laugh.
Their laughter surprised Penny.
"Well, Swallowing him is one way to put it dear!" Queen Eli responded in a giggle.
This made Penny alert and she suddenly stood up from the table pointing the cutlery in her hand at Queen Eli.
"Give me back my granddad! It's not been up to a day. Vomit him out now!"
Her fingers shook, but her expression was serious.
The women at the table looked at one another.
They could tell that Penny did not understand what they meant.
*Cough!*
Amanda cleared her throat, "let me explain what she means. Please, come with me."
Penny was sceptical, but seeing as they did not attack her and only gave her smiles, she decided to follow.
Amanda led her through turns in the cave, and then as they approached a particular cave, Penny could hear loud moans coming from the room...
