"What do you mean?" Dayne asked.
"Well, I am going to kill that silly-excuse-for-a-king. You coming"
"*sigh* Sure, count me in."
"Great. But first I need to roll an ability."
"What do you mean? You got a cheat?"
"Of Course. I already have the Amaterasu."
"That's so unfair."
"Well I got 12 more rolls so here I go."

My eyes went wide with surprise.
"What did you get?"
"Half-cold Half-hot, Snatch, Hatsu: Bungee Gum, Limitless, King Crimson, Op-Op Fruit, Texture Surprise, Ko, Emperor Time, Destruction alchemy, Alucard's Regeneration, Flying Raijin!" Even I was in shock. But the flying raijin is useless as I have no seal.
"Lucky bastard. Wait, can I have the op-pop fruit?"
Now that Dayne mentioned it, my luck is above 1m+ so it makes sense. I took out the op-op fruit and threw it to him.
"If you're willing to live with the curse of the sea, be my guest."
"Oh-crap, I forgot about that curse."
He then put it in his inventory.
"But I am not sure if the curse crossed over to this world."
"Well I am not willing to be the test subject."
"Well we have a kingdom to destroy."
I then opened a golden portal to the palace gates and walked through with Dayne following me. As soon as the guard spotted me, he got ready to attack, but then he spotted Dayne behind me and froze.
"Sir Dayne, what is the meaning of this?"
"Nothing much, just helping my brother destroy a palace."
"We have been invaded. The hero has betrayed the kingdom!"
A guard shouted. In a few minutes, guards had surrounded us from all directions. Were we bothered? No. Did we care? Absolutely not.
"Dayne let me handle them."
"Okay."
Dayne didn't doubt that I had the ability to defeat them and he also wanted to witness Dan's power. After coming to this world, he hasn't seen Dan fight. So Dayne flew up and hovered above.
"It's only one."
"We can take him."
"It's the useless hero."
"Everyone get him."
Every soldier charged forward aiming their weapons at me.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As everyone's weapon struck me, the expected outcome did not occur, but instead all stopped inches before touching his body.
"You can't even touch me. How low the kingdom has fallen."
I extended my infinity and pushed them away from me. Then I used my snatch to drain their energy and knock them out.
"Not bad"
Dayne said as he flew down, he's face showed that he had enjoyed seeing anime powers in real life. But I, who had used them felt even beter. We entered the palace and I spread out my senses to find the king but instead, I found a very familiar aura. I looked toward that direction and started walking there.
"Um, that's not the way to the throne room." Dayne said.
"I know."
He followed close behind in silence and we stopped in front of a room.
"What's in here that's so special?"
"..."
Gathering from my silence, Dayne knew he wasn't going to like what he was about to see. I opened the door and walked in. In a dark corner sat a naked figure, and as we entered she looked up with no life in her eyes. Even though she looked up, she didn't look me in the eye.
"Is it already time? Can't I go one day with peace?" She asked.
"Candy, what happened?" I asked in a calm but terrified voice.
"Just get it over with." She said without answering my question, as if she hadn't heard me.
"Candy, look at me."
She raised her head but didn't look me in the face. I knelt down to meet her eyes. And the moment she looked at me, life came back in her eyes and tears started forming in her eyes.
"S-s-sir Dan~" She cried and jumped into my arms while crying, I soothed her and Dayne walked over and put the cape he had been wearing around her. After she calmed down, I asked her what had happened.
"When you moved me out of the forest, I took Raphia (the personal guard who was injured) to a hospital in town and I reached the palace after afew days to ask fo assist from the guards to come aid you. But the moment the king heard your name, he refused and decleared that whoever was to help you would be charged with trizon and imprisoned immidietly. Then he ordered his guards to drag me into this room and e-ev-ery d-day, random people came and and they…"
I patted Candy's head to calm her down as she started crying again. She didn't need to say more.
'They are dead.'
'Certainly'
Dayne was now furious. How could he, THE hero live in a palace with a girl being tortured for no reason and still follow the orders of that scumbag.
'One more thing before we kill him.'
I said and then got up as I had picked up another familiar aura. We walked towards the palace dungeon and passed by many cells before stopping before one, in there was none other than Beltai, the fomer royal mage leader.
"Dad!"
"Sir Beltai!"
Candy exclaimed as soon as she saw him. All this time she thought her father had abounded her, but he was looked up in a cell. Dayne was equally shocked, he had been told that Sir Beltai had betrayed the humanity and sided with the demons.
"Candy!" Beltai said weakly.
"Dad, what happened?" Candy asked.
"Candy, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
"No dad but you…"
"I'm glad. When I heard that you returned, I wanted to see you but the king told me that you had betrayed the kingdom, naturally I didn't believe him, so he imprissoned me in here saying that I had betrayed humanity and sided with the demons. But I am just glad that your okay."
I used destruction alchemy to destry the bars which grabbed Beltai's attention
"Dan, you here to?"
"Ofcourse, I made a vow and now i've come to fulfill it."
"Dad, how do you know sir Dan?"
"How could I not, he is the hero who was falsely accused of siding with the demons."
Seriously? Is that the only excuse that stupid-excuse-for-a-king could come up with.
"Eh–!"
Candy was shocked. She looked at Dayne to make sure and he nodded.
"Sir Dan, how could you have not told me when we ventured together?"
"I had just got banished, it wasn't really a fun story to tell."
"Sir Beltai, were about to go confront the king, would you care to join?"
Dayne who was silent all this time finally spoke up.
"I would love nothing more, but it seems the king had taken a precaution about this."
"What do you mean?"
Candy who was now in his arms asked.
"Well, the king poisoned me to silence me and make sure I don't cause a rebellion, now I only have a maximum of some minutes."
"What!"
"Everyting I hear about him makes me want to rip him to shreds."
"That shameless bastard."
Candy, Dayne and I all reacted to this news in shock.
"But I have one last request before I go." Beltai said looking specifically at me.
"What is it?"
"I can tell that Candy has complete trust in you, so take care of her in my absence."
"Dad~" Candy said as she started to cry again.
"Can you that for me? I know we haven't known each other for a long time, but I feel like I can trust you on this. So please?"
"Sir Beltai, you don't have to beg. I swear that I'll make sure she stays happy forever even if it kills me."
"Candy, be god and strong for me."
"I will Dad."
