Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96 - The King in the North

King Roark Belmont.

The powerful figure that led the Frozen Kingdom into prosperity. Or so many people thought. Roark was overlooking the lands beneath him as he stood in the highest castle of the King’s Crown peak. He thought of the memory of his dear wife as his aged eyes moved with longing.

’Annalise...do you know how much I want to be with you right now? So many things are happening, and I don’t know how to pass through them. Where is your wisdom when I need it the most?’

A sigh could be heard as the powerful bearded man stretched. He was getting old, but still had the same power of LEGENDARY rank.

The thing that caused him the most stress was overseeing every single department to make sure things continued to go smoothly in the kingdom. But resources continued to dwindle with every passing day as the war raged on.

What tired him even more were the soldiers he was taking away from their families, with many of them never able to see their loved ones again.

’When does it all stop Annalise?"

The grand man seemed lost as he continued to gaze below. He thought about the only person that seemed to be lifting some of the weight and helping with the stabilization of the kingdom. It was at this moment that he heard the sound of footsteps that were very familiar

’Speak of the devil.’

The father smiled as he turned around and found his daughter entering the terrace. He looked fondly at this girl that didn’t always show emotion on her face, but he knew how much she cared.

"Your trip was a success?"

"Relatively, Father. Although not without extreme complications."

Roark’s face changed as he heard this. She was back here safe and sound with no commotion being caused. What could have happened? His face became cloudy as he asked,

"What went wrong?"

"On the way back here, there was an ambush waiting for me that consisted of an EPIC ranked powerhouse and a collection of rank S. Here is a memory stone that was able to capture the faces of these ambushers." _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

King Roark’s face had become dark as he caught the Memory Stone that could record and replay a scene when a certain amount of mana was put in.

"A Shadow Guard that was lucky enough not to be noticed took this at the risk of their lives. Can you recognize the people on there?"

Her voice seemed to be getting colder and colder as she spoke, bordering on the line of disrespect that nobody should cross with their father. But King Roark was sullen as he saw the recording of a woman under the command of a special someone. He looked at the blank face of his daughter and was glad she was safe and sound as he asked,

"How did you make it out? And...what happened to the attackers?"

"If I told you a prince in shining armor appeared to save the life of the princess and kill those that wished her harm, would you believe me?"

The exchange between father and daughter stalled after this, with the daughter proceeding forward.
