Strongest Kingdom: My Op Kingdom Got Transported Along With Me

The sound is a pressure more than a sound—felt in the bones, not the ears.

"Or I will bring ruin to your city. Stone by stone. Blood by blood."

People fall to their knees in the streets. Children scream.

In the war chamber, the knight at Veynar's side gasps, bleeding from his nose.

"That… wasn't a spell," he stammers. "That was just, his voice."

Veynar doesn't blink. He fly.

Then he speaks.

No amplification. No magic.

Only will.

His voice cuts through the air like a blade.

"You dare speak to me like that?"

The clouds above shudder. The palace trembles with the echo of his fury.

King Veynar steps out onto the highest spire of the royal palace, lightning wreathing his form in crackling arcs. His armor gleams with runic inlays, enchantments centuries old, designed for one purpose: war. His cape billows behind him, shredded by the electric pressure pouring from his body.

"I am King Veynar of Moryos!" he roars. "I have ruled unchallenged for eighty years! My kingdom stood while others burned! You lowly monsters think you can waltz across my land and lives?!"

Lightning streaks upward from his back—six lances of pure electric magic forming a circle behind him like wings.

"I will kill you, and massacre every last one of your filthy kind! Every monster on this continent will burn beneath my storm!"

The sky splits.

From the horizon, a burning dot approaches—slow at first, then faster than thought. A meteor?

No. A monster.

Mhazul.

He arrives like a comet, his landing an explosion of heat and molten rock on one of the tallest building. The cobbled streets melt into lava. Surrounding buildings combust instantly. Screams erupt. But he doesn't even look at them.

He looks only at the king.

His blackened skin glows with flowing magma veins. The air distorts around him—too hot to breathe. His axes hum with restrained fire.

He rises.

He floats up, higher and higher, until he meets Veynar in the storm-dark sky, the kingdom of Morythall spread out below them like a chessboard of fire and ash.

"You talk too much," Mhazul growls.

Then they move.

The sky detonates.

Veynar is the first to strike—[Tier 6 Skill: Tempest Judgment]—a spear of lightning the size of a tower bursts from his hand and hurtles toward Mhazul.

Mhazul doesn't dodge.

He spins his axe and cleaves the sky in two.

The lightning shatters on his blade—exploding into blinding fragments that rain down like burning hail over the capital.

Veynar charges in the next instant, faster than sound, sword wreathed in a storm. He slashes.

Mhazul meets him.

Lightning meets flame.

Axes and blades crash again and again, each collision tearing the air apart. The shockwaves ripple across the city—windows burst, towers crack, and people are hurled from rooftops by the sheer force of it.

Mhazul's twin war axes move like extensions of his wrath—blades wreathed in molten flame, carving arcs of heat that distort the very air. Every swing releases pulses of compressed pressure, like volcanoes breathing. Veynar's sword meets them, its storm-forged edge dancing with high voltage, but…

He's losing ground.

Every block sends tremors down his arms. Every parry leaves scorch marks on his armor.

He flashes backward, using a burst of lightning to disengage, reappearing high above, panting. His gaze sharpens. This isn't just brute force. He's reading me… countering…

He grits his teeth and points skyward.

[Tier 6 Skill: Grandstorm Collapse]

A black thundercloud forms above them instantly, pulsing with violent energy. Spears of pure plasma descend from it like divine punishment, each one exploding on contact, turning the sky into a chaotic battlefield.

Mhazul twirls both axes and rushes into the storm.

He's charging through it? Veynar's eyes widen.

Bolts slam into Mhazul's body—some strike direct, others graze—but he never flinches. His magma armor hisses and cracks, but the flames repair it as quickly as it breaks. One thunderbolt blasts into his left shoulder, and he grins.

"Is this the best you can do?" Mhazul bellows through the chaos.

He appears right in front of Veynar.

[Tier 5 Skill: Consecutive Cleave]

Axes blur—one, two, three, ten slashes in less than a second. Veynar desperately parries, but the eighth strike breaks through. One axe crashes into his side, cracking ribs and sending him spinning midair. Blood sprays, and Veynar coughs hard as he skids backward, momentum shattered.

Mhazul doesn't let up.

He rotates in midair and hurls one of his axes like a meteor. It spins once, then vanishes—too fast to follow.

Veynar barely tilts his head.

The axe grazes past—cutting through his left shoulder plate and into his flesh.

He shouts in pain and drops.

But Mhazul is already behind him.

The second axe slams down.

[Tier 6 Skill: Magma Execution]

A volcanic shockwave erupts midair, blasting Veynar downward like a cannonball. He crashes into the largest tower, shattering it, then slams into the streets below, carving a molten crater.

The capital screams.

Mhazul descends slowly, spinning his remaining axe. His discarded weapon zips back to his hand in a trail of embers.

Veynar rises from the rubble—bloodied, wheezing, one knee bent.

His lightning aura flickers—unstable.

He stares up at Mhazul, eyes narrowing.

"You're toying with me…" he mutters.

Mhazul shrugs. "You're not worth going all out."

He lifts his sword, hand trembling. "We're both peak Tier 6. You shouldn't be..."

"Dominating you?" Mhazul cuts in, drifting closer. "It's simple—you're weak."

Veynar surges forward with a roar—his sword blazing brighter than ever. He unleashes a flurry of lightning-infused strikes, forcing Mhazul into a brief retreat.

But Mhazul just laughs. "Good! Get angry!"

Their blades meet again, the sky lighting up like a battlefield of suns. Below, the capital is in flames.

Another minute passes.

The once-proud sky of Morythall now churns with ash, smoke, and flickering embers. Towers collapse. Thunder rolls, but it's no longer divine—it's desperate. Forced. And King Veynar… is falling apart.

His swings slow. His breathing grows ragged. His armor, cracked and glowing from the heat, no longer hums with power.

He staggers backward after another clash, knees nearly buckling mid-air. His sword dips low.

Mhazul floats in front of him—unhurried, untouched, almost bored. His war axes gleam with liquid fire, and his eyes burn like coals. Not with fury. With inevitability.

Veynar coughs, blood flecking his lip. "Tell me something…" he pants, voice hoarse. "Are you… from the main continent?"

Mhazul raises a brow at the question. His axe spins once in his hand, slow and deliberate, glowing hotter by the second.

"I'm not," he answers.

Veynar squints, disbelieving. "That's… that's impossible." He shakes his head, staggering a step back. "Only the three main continents… only they produce monsters like you."

Mhazul gives a faint, amused breath. "Those main continents you speak of…" He looks to the horizon, where the fires of the city cast a blood-red glow over the land. "…they'll belong to my lord's empire soon enough. Just like this one."

Veynar stares at him.

Then laughs.

It's wet—half-choked on blood—but still defiant. "Hah… conquer the main continents? You don't even understand what you're saying. Do you know who rules those lands? Do you have any idea what—"

He stops.

Mhazul is no longer smiling.

He says nothing.

He moves.

One blur—then the end.

The axe arcs from Mhazul's shoulder in a perfect diagonal line. No flair. No scream. Just one final motion, clean and final.

Veynar doesn't even have time to finish his thought.

The world goes still.

For a heartbeat, it seems like nothing happened—then a faint red line appears across Veynar's chest. From shoulder to hip.

His sword falls first.

Then the rest of him follows—cleaved cleanly in two, the halves drifting apart like paper in the wind.

Ash scatters from his body.

His crown falls last, clanging once on the molten stone before melting into gold.

Mhazul exhales slowly, turning his head as the flames spread through the capital.

He doesn't look back.

He doesn't need to.

The storm king is dead.

Moryos… has fallen.

The Next Morning

The sun rises over a different world.

The news spreads like wildfire, faster than couriers can gallop. By dawn, every kingdom, fortress, and forces in Ereborn hears the same whisper.

Moryos has fallen.

Not besieged. Not broken over weeks. Fallen. In one night.

No one wants to believe it. But the ash-stained refugees streaming in from the east… their silence confirms what no report can explain.

In the border city of Haldrin, within the kingdom of Rithamar—Moryos' closest ally—panic clings to every street like smoke.

Commoners flood the streets, murmuring. Soldiers double their patrols. Noble couriers gallop between keeps. The sky still smells faintly of smoke—though the source lies hundreds of kilometers away.

In a crowded tavern, a hushed crowd listens as the barkeep shakily reads the letter again.

"...confirmed reports. Morythall has fallen. The capital city... destroyed. King Veynar… confirmed dead. The portal is unguarded."

A tankard drops. It shatters against the stone floor.

Someone gasps.

Then chaos erupts—questions, accusations, panic.

At the back, two men speak in low tones.

"That's not possible," says one, gripping his cloak tightly. "Veynar is a peak Tier 6. His capital was fortified by five barrier stones!"

His companion shakes his head, pale. "Doesn't matter. They say the monster didn't even need a full army. Just one of them. Just him."

A woman joins them, armored, with the mark of Thalor's military. Her voice is tight.

"They've already summoned the high council. King Halron is locking down the southern gates and recalling the royal battlemages."

The first man looks out the window, toward the smoke-stained sky. "…Do we know where the monsters went next?"

No answer.
