So it starts

Back in the capital, before Cantel's capture and Cotez almost courting death from just one attack that was not even the queen's spell but her having that much control over mana to wield such devastating attacks on Fourth Circle Primals, the captain, the lady from Snake Eyes and everyone had been looking at the queen on top of the castle before she started her rampage.

She was more than tens of kilometers away but many had no problem seeing her while others saw a flouting dote in the sky. It was the capital after all and everyone that could afford to stay there had to train their cultivation in order to keep up with the prices and avoid being killed by challenges as per the rules of the kingdom.

"Dzagori."

A person called out as he walked over to someone he noticed in the crowd looking up.

It was the name of the captain of the guards of the city gates. Dzagori looked over his shoulder and saw a belly old man with muscles for days. He was bold and had scars all around his right hand going up to his shoulder that he could not yet afford to heal completely over the years.

"Drahha."

Dzagori responded back to the man with respect. He was the head of the First Section Guild, the Stone Guild.

"After what happened last time, I hope that you and your guards can help lessen the casualties. There are too many new faces in the city this time around and they do not know what will happen. I am sure many are still in the buildings and have not gotten out."

Drahha said as he took off some of the heavy armor that he was wearing and it disappeared into his storage ring. It seemed that he had planned to go out for a hunt but thankfully had been still around when the queen showed herself.

"They already know the drill. The first sign of vibration and they will get into action. They know not to get in your way. Will just clear the streets. I guess the Section Lord will not help even this time?"

Dzagori ask casually like he already knew the answer.

"You know that those bastards only show themselves if the capital is attacked or there is war. We are on our own."

Drahha said, but the two stopped their conversation when they saw a lady in a black pencil dress walking into view seemingly just wanting to get a better view of the queen's first actions after her appearance.

She saw the two men and got closer. It had been a long time since they saw each other even though she lived in the very same section as the two of them.

Surprisingly, unlike Draka's carefree attitude around her, the two bowed slightly at her as a show of respect, something Drahha would not even do when meeting the other Guild Masters of other sections nor Dzagori when meeting captains of the other section walls.

"Lady Boa"

The two said in unison. It was a shame that Draka never even ask for her name and it was amazing that she had already gotten his name from the vast network her organization had, but there was the only piece of information she could get about the mysterious man.

"You grace us with your presence."

Dzagori said.

"Well, even the most reclusive serpent would want to see this spectacle let alone me. Besides, you boys haven't visited my father’s shop for ages now. A lady gets lonely sometimes."

She said teasingly. The two coughed out of embarrassment but even their Dragerien blood would not make them buy something from that shop ever again as even the cultivating techniques sold there could kill even the gifted of Primals.

As if to save them from her presence, the queen finally made her move.

All this time she had been looking at each section with rage and fury but her gaze was full of calm and concentration. The mana in each section was denser than most places in the kingdom and each section had different element particles drawn to them, making it hard for even her to such through.

It did not take long though as in less than 20 seconds after being in the sky he gazes landed on a beautiful villa that was in the third section that was moderate in size but being double stories high and overlooking the Drago River that flaw through the capital and cutting it in half.

After she had her target, it was like time stood still.

Boom!!

She had disappeared from where she was and in less than a second the villa was blown apart as a woman crushed through it all the way to the basement that was many meters below the main house.

She found five people there with all of them in the Forth Circle and with surprise and fear written on their faces.

"Ohh, I did not think there were some who were brave enough to even buy a house in the third section when they are the kingdom's enemy and managed to go undetected for such a long time but stupid enough not to leave the moment her son died."

Boa said with a smile. All that was left was for her to have some popcorn and the scene would be perfect. Inside she was more than shocked. Even she could not see the queen’s movements. This made her resolve to surpass her late further even more intense.

On the Western part of the first section, near the wall, the ground started shaking.

The two men looked at each other and nodded. It was time for them to get into action.

"Excuse us, my lady."

Drahha said as the both of them horridly bowed, trying to leave as quickly as they could. Boa knew that she could not keep them from doing their jobs even though the last time she had seen them she was a teen and wanted to know why they avoided her like the plague.

It was worth noticing that she was way younger than them but she still had the confidence of calling them boys.

"May the scales protect you?"

Her words shocked the two. With those words came a warm feeling around the two that increased their defenses tenfold. For her, it was a small gesture but to them, it was the first time they received such a buff in their lifetime.

Not wanting the small show of kindness by someone they could not afford to offend and still wanted nothing to do with, they thanked her and disappeared, living a small smile on her lips.

Inside the basement, the eyes of the men all turned cold like they had agreed that if they were found, they would fight no matter what.

At that moment the queen had just cast her first spell in milliseconds but it was not meant for them. It was gathered outside in the first section.

After she cast her spell she looked at the prey that she had bought and sized them up while being disappointed.

Standing there and seemingly doing nothing, the five got encouraged by this as when two seconds had passed since she had crushed into the basement, one of the men was faster than all the others to try and cast a spell as he was the strongest of the bunch and that was his luck as he was the first to die.

Out of nowhere, his body exploded into mincemeat. The others stopped their casting as shock and fear returned and grabbed hold of them this time around, not letting go of them.

His only mistake was not to use every bit of mana he had to strengthen his Defensive Field. The queen had let his mana sip into the weak points of his Defensive Field and thereafter her mana entered every part of the man's body except his core and then exploded.

Such was the difference in power between a Forth Circle Primal, a Primal Voracious and a Sixth Circle Primal, a Primal Saint. The power difference was between heaven and earth as the conditions to reach such a level.

The Queen with her bright leaf-like green eyes was disappointed at how easy it was to dispose of such filth that dare go against her and the kingdom she ruled over. The fact that these people might have something to do about how her son was born incensed her even more.

She did not want to use such distractive attacks over such unforgivable people and so she just disappeared again and appeared in front of her next target and punched his head while holding back, but his head exploded and unfortunately for her, there was another one standing behind the man and the man's head also exploded while the ground shook because of the force she exacted while underground.

There were ruins on the walls of the basement so as to absorb powerful attacks but while the basement held, the villa upstairs crumbled down.

She looked at her fist in disappointment. She was not a close combat fighter but this was still too much for them. 

Not wasting time, she just grabbed the last two that were left and threw them up. The runes could not hold at the power used behind that throw but the two did not splatter on the basement ceiling and crushed threw and went up in the air with both of them unable to control their bodies.

When she grabbed them, she had done something to their cores that rendered them paralyzed.

Without wasting time, she vanished and at the same time she did so, another crash was heard and then seen at a different place but this time it was the sewerage that still was in the Third Section.

As this was happening, in the western side of the First Section the stone buildings and prevent were coming together, forming a small hip of something that had not taken shape yet but was still growing.

High-raking guild members were moving from building to building while making sure that there was no one inside but in some cases,they were too late. The buildings were just gathering too fast for them to check all of them and each one of them was being crushed as they formed the now almost ten-story high pile.

While Drahha had just come out with a child and mother from a house that was about to be crushed, put them down and disappeared again, one of the wall guards picked them up and ran to take them far away from the pile as chunks of some of the buildings were falling everywhere.

With each one of them on each of his shoulders, and him being of a lower rank, he was moving slowly. As a piece of a building that was too big for him to avoid was about to fall in front of him, he kicked it with all his strength but only managed to push it away and not leave a dent on it whatsoever.

Such was the density that was in the rocks that formed the buildings of the First Section.

While Dzagori was appearing and disappearing, he did not get out of the way when faced with such failing sections of buildings. 

Drahha was the same. He crushed through the walls of the buildings that he was searching which made him waste less time. Such was the protection Boa cast on the two of them. They were unharmed and did not have to deplete their mana reserves on their Protective Fields.

In just less than a minute, a mountain-like being had formed, leaving a huge barren land behind.

'Such a spell? That might be less or more powerful than me. No, with this much earth mana in this place, that golem is defiantly at Mythical level. This is the power of just one of her spells?'

Boa exclaimed in her mind. She was truly shaken. She knew that just like before, the queen was using the First Section's earth mana to her advantage. She had seen this before when she was young but had no capability of comprehending how broken this spell was back then.

At that moment the Queen had finished cleaning up anyone who she had deemed possibly capable of cursing her unborn child. The third and Second Sections had been turned upside down in many areas.

The now giant humanoid golem disappear from where it was and appeared in the forest. It had blood coming from parts of its body from all those who could not get out in time.

It looked up in the sky and several people that were thrown up by the queen were trapped by the giant golem and then swallowed by in one gulp.

In an instant, the area around it became barren just like where it was a moment ago. It grew even more in an instant and trees could be seen in its outer layer.

It jumped and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving no sound whatsoever.

Boa made the mistake of looking in the direction of the castle and saw the king and his most trusted commander smile like this was just the beginning g of something bigger.

"So it begins."

The king said with hope in his words as he wished for her to pass the kingdom's borders and save him from the task of planning a war that was inevitable at that moment and let him enjoy himself like his subjects would in the battles to come.
