Slayer Of Babylon

It has been three days since Eric learned he was going to be a father, but, currently, he was depressed over something inside of his training ground.

While he was depressed, Irene entered the ground. "Eric, I managed to understand the Divine tablet's [Arc of Time] part," she said cheerfully. "It was hard and very ancient language, but with the help of grandpa(Belserion), I managed to accomplish it!" she added and hugged him from behind.

Eric's mood turned 180 degrees when he saw his fiancé. "Oh, what a great wife I have," he said with a smirk, and he hugged her back. "So, can you show me the results," he added while c.a.r.e.s.sing her hair.

"Maybe~," she said playfully. "But, first tell me why did you seem sad just now?" she asked with concern. "I know I have been rushing our marriage, I know two weeks is too soon, but-," she couldn't finished sentence as Eric put his index finger to her lips.

"Sssh, relax. I've been late to marry you actually," he said with a soft smile and looked at Irene's expression. Irene looked relaxed after she heard that, so Eric continued.

"Now, it's not a big deal really," Eric said sheepishly. He looked at her worrying crimson eyes then he sighed. "I just don't have a finishing move," he said while evading eye contact.

"A finishing what?" asked Irene with a raised eyebrow. "You are joking, aren't you?" she said bewilderedly.

"Ugh, no?" Eric said with an awkward smirk.

"I mean; you have a big humanoid giant that has several giant swords above it, you have the biggest magic reserves probably in the entire Eartlands, you have gravity magic that crushed anything with its power, and I don't even mention that black orb you named 'black hole' or whatever it is, but most importantly, you have that stupidly overpowered runes," she yelled at him. "And, you couldn't make a finishing move with them?" she asked him with an 'are-you-stupid?' look.

"Ahahah," Eric laughed awkwardly, then he coughed. "*cough* So, can you show me the translation," he said.

Irene looked at him with a raised eyebrow and sighed. "I manage to translate it," she said. "But, it seems something is wrong because I can't use it," she added and gave Eric the notes.

Eric took the notes and put them into his dimension. He looked at her softly. "Thank you," he said and kissed her forehead. Irene smirked. "You better be~," she said and hugged him.

Sometime later, they separated. "So, the other things I mentioned?" Eric asked. Irene looked at him with a serious expression. "You know this isn't the first time I deal this mess," she said coldly. "Some people think they can take advantage of my goodwill," she added and formed a scary grin.

"So," she said and looked directly at Eric. "Sometimes they just exucuted~," she said with a closed-eyed smile.

"You are gonna kill him, just like that?" Eric asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Don't be ridiculous," Irene rolled her eyes. "I'm gathering proof as we speak," she said and smile. "But, it will eventually be like this; we will get Elder Drake's grandson, interrogate him, and he will say that I work for my grandfather," she said as her crimson eyes narrowed.

She walked to a seat next to the wall and sat. "Then, the elder will deny the claims, so his grandson will be executed," she turned her head the blade next to her. She took it and threw it to the metal training dummy. The blade pierced the dummy and exploded.

"Then, Elder Drake will do somethings like this again and again," she finished her sentence with a pondering look. "Just now, we need real evidence to claim that Elder Drake is part of this mess," she said as she stood up. "What do you think we should do?"

Eric thought a little. "We need to show the folks, Elder Drake is an a.s.s," he murmured. "Well, do we have something like a recording device here?" Eric asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Recording?" Irene asked confusingly. "I never heard of that," she added.

'I can make it with my runes, but it will take time,' he thought. "Do we have to show the world he is someone like that?" Eric asked.

"Well, I can't execute him without reason," Irene said. "He is a war hero or was," she said distantly. "People love him in general."

"Hmm. What if I kill him stealthy?" Eric asked.

"Assassination to an Elder, eh?" Irene seemed to like the idea. "Our prestige might me down a little, but it's not important than our people, I guess?" she said ponderingly. "But, other kingdoms can see this as a weakness, and start a war," she said with a serious expression.

"Which one? I just destroy the army of two-kingdom," Eric said smugly. "And, trust me, I am enough to destroy them.

Irene looked at him and sighed. "Eric," she said. "I know you are strong, but this time I don't mean just two kingdoms," Irene said sadly. "They will probably form a coalition, well, I'm actually sure the already formed a coalition," she finished.

She got close to him and looked at his eyes softly.

"All, the small and big kingdoms in Isgar will attack us," she said. "I know we have the power to win, but casualties will be dramatic," she added and hugged Eric.

"I didn't even mention the ones who you defeated were not the strongest kingdom out of there."

Eric sighed and looked at the worrying queen on his c.h.e.s.t. 'I hate politics,' Eric thought and hugged her back. "If they forced a coalition, then they will attack us eventually," he said with a serious expression.

Irene shooked her head. "I'm just waiting for our spies reports," she said. "Until that, we need to be patient, it just my guess after all," she finished and sighed.

"Now, wait until we got some evidence to Elder Drake," she said sweetly. "Trust me, if we got in a war, we will kill him somewhere inside of it," she said.

Eric sighed, then he had an idea. "Hey, what if I destroy his thugs secretly," he said with a grin.

Irene looked at him. "Your objective is not just that, I assume," she said with a raised eyebrow.

"Exactly," Eric said. "Do you have people you can trust? But, they should be not known by the council," Eric asked.

"I have," Irene said then she understood what he wanted to do. "You wanted to destroy them, and when they form their little group again, you wanted my men to be part of their group to undercover his deeds, right?" Irene asked with a smirk.

"Oh, my wife understands me very well," Eric said and pulled her closer. "Well, wife-to-be," Irene corrected. "Well, this will do. I can arrange my men, you will destroy their petty group," Irene said. "Killing is free, but bring that man's grandson to me, please. I want to have a little fun with him~," she said playfully, but Eric could saw her demon side awakened. "Ah, by the way, you don't need to do that secretly, Elder Drake backs them in shadows. It's not legal," she said with a scary smile.

"Okay, I will start tonight," Eric said, and his expression turned serious. "Now, the most important subject!" He declared sternly.

Irene gulped, this is the first time she saw Eric that serious. Eric took his hand to her shoulder and looked at her beautiful crimson eyes. "What shall the baby's name be?" he asked with a smug grin.

'Okay, there was lacrimas in the Fairy Tail universe,' Eric thought. 'If I manage to learn how to store the data that I recorded, I need to a lacrima to store that.'

He took a magic crystal and started to think. Thirty minutes later he sighed. 'I'm just going to destroy them,' he thought and yelled.

"Oi! Stone, Shy, want to have some fun?"

"We could've done this when I suggested it," said Shyvana flatly. Stone looked confused, he didn't understand the mission.

"Well, things have changed," said Eric with a shrug. He saw Stone's confusing look and patted his leg(he is a six-meter long giant). "Bud, you are just gonna smash," Eric said amusingly.

Stone's eyes wide opened and a grin formed his face. Shyvana looked at them expressionlessly and turned his face to the road.

"Did you have to change your face again?" she asked.

"Well, they could use my actions for their advantage so I have to," Eric said and looked at a tall building.

It was taller than most of the buildings and several people with blades and spears were on the entrance.

Eric laughed a little. 'It's going to be interesting,' he thought and started to tell his plans to Stone and Shyvana.

Eric walked towards the entrance with a smug grin on his face. The guards who saw his face irritated and drew their weapons to his throat.

"What business you have here, punk?" asked a bald soldier. His tone was cold and his spear was ready to penetrate Eric's throat if it was necessary.

"A special service," said Eric with a grin.

Guard's eyes narrowed. "We didn't inform for any service," he said and attacked Eric.

Eric's eyes wide opened, but he regained compose and dash backward. 'In the movies, they ask what services! Here I thought I was going to make a cool entrance,' Eric thought and signed.

"Whatever," he dismissed his ideas and sighed. His crimson eyes looked at the soldiers who surrounded him. He looked at them with a glance and laughed. "Let's make the numbers a little bit fair, shall we?" he said and flicked his fingers.

"Guaaaaaahhh!" they heard a sound. The sound was coming from above, so they looked up.

"Holy, shit! Isn't that Stone?"

"Wait did we found?"

"What the hell is he doing here?"

They yelled and Stone fell to their building. It shattered the floors and fell to the ground floor backward. People inside the building were severely injured or killed by the impact and shrapnels.

'I imagined that a little cooler,' Eric thought and a huge fireball hit the remaining guards. The ones who close the impact were burned severely while others looked at the source with wide eyes.

A violet skinned youth was walking towards them with slow speed. Her golden eyes were glowing and the fire rising from several parts of her body as if she was on fire but didn't feel it.

"Alright, lads," said Eric cooly. He was pretending to be like another person. "I was ordered to destroy you little monkeys~," he said playfully.

He raised his hand to the air and a big magic circle formed above the building. Stone saw that and Rushed the remaining guards. He killed several people when he fell, and now he killed remeaning ones with his powers.

"I was going to do this more easy way, but you put your weapons towards me," he said with a sad look. "So, I am sorry," he continued with crocodile tears on his eyes and activated his magic circle.

A huge crashing wave hit the building and killed everyone inside of it. The ground collapsed and made a huge crater with a pile of building components.

After everything is done, Eric turned back and started walking.

"This is your first warning now. This kingdom does not tolerate thugs," he said. Shyvana and Stone were behind him.

"Didn't you say, we can't just beat them since their backer was a council member?" Shyvana asked flatly while they were walking towards the castle.

"Yes," Eric said with a smirk. "But, it's a pity he backed them in shadows, right?" Eric added with a smirk.

He looked at the people nearby who looked at them with awe. He sighed and continued. "He didn't legally back them, he is not that stupid," he said with a mischevious smile. "If he was, we would have a solid proof for his idiocy," he added.

"Now, shall we go to the castle! I need to see my wife!" he said excitedly as he started to run.
