Lordkhak can be seen flying alone on an argentivs which is a big flying bird like a brown pigeon full of furs. Somehow it is like he is talking to himself and zoldyck from under does wonder what is happening up there. And the argentivs just keeps getting faster and faster to catch up on using a carriage. and just when they made it pass the mountains to Valhaim. When they arrived past the mountains. A great sound of howling and screaming and lordkhak reacted in disappointment “another margent fell to the hole. This is very troubling. These vahlkries need to learn more about responsibility" and while Zoldyck's carriage is passing on a bridge he notices that a giant kwaty (they are like giant hedgehogs with the back of a turtle covered in snow) is missing. And he got very suspicious. The gate of the bridge opens. Basically roghaim castle is not really a castle. It is just a fortress that is part of a mountain that is kind of split in half. The mountain inside is huge and behind the mountain is a big field full of wooden and stone.houses and buildings that is where most citizens live. So it is a triangle to an open space inside a mountain. The castle itself has like a part of it that is between a small hole where the monarch of roghaim can see pretty much the entirety of lok celest. There are other villages under the mountain in the flat areas where they control the sea port. Originally everything here is property of gormon since he is the one who provides the resources and most sea merchants just land there from the sanctuary of dawn to trade with him so in his ideals of justice they must pay or at least fulfil their duties as his people but their barbaric heads say otherwise. The temperature here is the coldest. only the valkyries are the ones who can handle it. Moving forward lordkhak was mad that even the guards saw him they didn't even ring the bells or trumpets. It was a genuine disrespect. and when he made it to the gates he was stopped by the guards and asked what is his business here and zoldyck decided to be the one who talks “ahem… excuse me but in you're in presence of the almighty king of lok celest and and right hand of gormon the cosmic whale” and they replied with disrespecting tone “so? I also was the King of zeraphorith. I just came to zonya to hang out with my friend here. You see, this sword is the same one I used to fight quagmor” zoldyck convinced them saying “I believe you are not getting paid enough. We are here to cause a lot of trouble. You guys would definitely enjoy the chaos that is going to happen” and they were convinced. However they also asked them to remove their armors and weapons. Lordkhak agreed and suddenly his blades that the guard was holding became very forcible and moving crazy. Suddenly a white hand appeared crawling over them like a spider and biting them. Zoldyck was surprised the blades suddenly transformed into tugdi in stylish poses after he knocked them out. Apparently this is one of the spells and magical tricks of the illusion magic and veilcraft that makes him able to become whatever shape he copies. Moving forward. They make it through with no issues due to the soldiers being missing for some reason. And because of that they can't enter the castle, that is hardly a castle. It just looks like a dungeon. Lordkhak suggests that before they meet the monarch they go to find the orc prisoners that they took. And so they pass through the homes of the vahlkyries that used to be beautiful and clean. But now their roofs are damaged and not many people are out. And most stores are closed. Only one place that felt crowded “looks like there is a party and we were not invited”. They enter a tavern witnessing genuine chaos. 5 people fighting among each other over beer and threatening the workers which were a man and a young girl. And among that brawl lordkhak politely beat a man on a table taking the bottle for him saying “a drink for 3 please” that drunk guy woke up and made his biggest mistake to randomly punch the King of lok celest. Lordkhak didn't twitch a muscle on his face and looked at him and then in a flicker of an eye he takes his arm and break his bones and said “the arm that disrespected me have been punched you may go now” the man on the ground was screaming out of pain and said “you will pay for this” and pulled a trumpet that called a giant ragala (an animal with 2 horns under his ears and and an icy horn on top of his head with 2 big arms and 2 slim legs of an normal animal). It broke the walls and launched at him carrying him out of the tavern. Lordkhak uses his electric vora from his palms to get away and he smiles sheathing his double axes and while he tries to keep his distance zoldyck said to tugdi “i think you can offer some help” and he replied “just observe the stage”. It got even more intense when several men appeared claiming to be with the vahlkyri. However everyone kept a distance since that monster is on the loose. That creature is known to be smart so lordkhak was careful with his moves and he charged with an electric hit with his axes aiming on his horns trying to provoke him to attack. The beast had fallen for it and charged on him. And he targeted his small legs knowing their weakness. With the chains he pulled himself to him and broke his main horn with an electric punch. Here the fight is decided but the ragala goes mad moving like an insane bull. With the chains wrapped to his legs he pulls lordkhak to different directions. Lordkhak smartly abuses his speed where he uses his force with that speed to pull him towards him with his strength and cut him in half. The bull caused smoke and suddenly lordkhak find himself stabbed with a spear on his chest but that hardly penetrated his armor and glared at that man with a menacing face and that Orange head said “you think you tough and fearsome” and he replied “i am not the one who will teach you true fear” the smoke turned to creepy fog and sound laughter that made everyone freezes on their place. The man looked up to find a bunch of horrific faces and monsters. And screamed. And the rest felt nervous but the laugher had cursed their ears and they heard the words “fawda” and on a blink a head flying from a hit of a blade and the killer screams “die you filthy orc” the vahlkyri who was drunk came to witness his barbaric brothers are killing each other and he had never seen something more outrageous to which he said “what are you doing you idiots. What in the world….. Is that illusion magic.The power of deception?They even killed my pet” the man unleashed his sword with a dash towards lordkhak with his celestial energy already with 2 chains. Lordkhak was already impressed and decided to use ozan, the hammer of gormon and it spawned with a flash of lighting. Lordkhak had too many openings and was so aggressive. He waves with his hammer. One hit is enough to turn him to pieces. The fight was so intense and loud the crowd slowly started gathering from the citizens and they were all witnessing the power of a king. Who with one hand can use ozan, one of the heaviest weapons. Obviously lordkhak can end this fight any time but he just wants to land fear in the eyes of the observers so they can respect his authority more. And he played with him till he got hit on his face by a hit that was empowered with his celestial energy it almost burned his face. So he decided to end it with making a field of electro and used a special move of ozan that stuns whoever is around. And caught him with his bare hands and broke his other arm with this he is completely unarmed. And he pinned him to the ground saying “is over. Your brothers killed themselves witnessing true fear and you will follow them after you answer my questions. Where do you keep the hostages and where is the seal” he replied laughing. " Why do you think I'll tell you just because you are going to kill me? You just killed a bunch of my brothers and my pet. And I am a harmless man now. I don't even care about living at this point” zoldyck said “your grace maybe we don't need him alive. I believe he has the key to the castle since I saw him the last time drunk over the gates. And he was right he found the keys and said “you are right you are just a walking corp so i wouldn't even kill you and would rather keep you disabled like this” and he replied laughing “yeah you are right however I'll tell you this. Everything you did was for nothing today. The doom of chaos is marching. Your dreams of changing nature and your dumb ideals of developing and making change will all end” and he replied smiling “yeah I'll be waiting for that and wonder who will bring that doom” he replied “the limbs of chaos themselves which are orcs too” he replied in anger “you dare to mock my people and even try incitement among us” he replied “i am sorry you to tell your grace but you are the one who betrayed your people by siding with an evil entity like gormon. Your ideals of changing nature and building a new dawn are just nonsense. Your own idea of freedom is hypocritical since you even act against it.The real nature of orcs is monstrous and furious just like us. You are making the orcs softer and they see you as a traitor and they will make you fall. You are not a true or”before he finishes he gets violently punched in his face by fists of anger and thunder. A punch after a punch making his face perched in blood and unseen. Lordkhak couldn't handle those words and went mad. Zoldyck tried to call him down. And when he raises his head a bunch of families and kids are witnessing not only that. The fact that his theory about being monstrous and furious was just proven now but it can't be helped and it was more devastating seeing a mother in tears silently carrying the vahlkyri and a kid crying there for help. Lordkhak had felt uncertain regret
