Naruto And The Game Of Thrones - Chapter 7

Edwyn walked through the open gates of R’hllor’s castle. It was like a typical medieval castle, only, it had lava surrounding it with a bridge connecting the gate of the castle with the rest of the island.

The castle itself was made of obsidian. When he entered it, the temperature inside was so high that the walls were red from immense heat. Edwyn was profusely sweating and he silently thanked his ancestors back in Elemental Nations for creating the art of sealing.

It was sparsely decorated, mostly skulls hung in the walls. An occasional guard would snarl and growl at Edwyn but there was no direct hostility shown towards him.

Edwyn walked into the throne room, taking every step confidently all the while counting the number of soldiers the room had.

R’hllor, as Edwyn observed, was very tall. If he had to guess, R’hllor was around fifteen feet in height. With heavy and menacing armour and a large sword resting by the side of his throne, R’hllor gave the image of an overlord.

His voice boomed all around the castle as R’hllor said, “Human, remove that disguise.”

Edwyn tilted his head and complied. Raising a hand, he dispelled the henge, allowing R’hllor to look at him. The guards started getting restless and some even wiped away their drool.

‘Guess he was right. Other beings ‘are’ a delicacy here.’

“Hmm, you really are a strange human. Answer me, why have you come to my domain?”

Edwyn simply replied, “I just wanted to see what happened to Valyria and possibly get my hands on some Valyrian steel.”

R’hllor guffawed, “Valyrian Steel! Hah! Those toothpicks made from dragon fire and steel?! Punny mortal, such things are not even there anymore on R’horiam. Hmph! Steel forged from dragon fire is very weak and beneath me to even be in my domain!”

‘R’horiam? Full of himself, isn’t he?’

“As for what happened to Valyria, I happened. I woke up and took back my domain from you punny mortals.”

Edwyn narrowed his eyes at R’hllor and directly asked what he wanted to, “What are these beings? You told me that you could see everything in your domain. How could you let them act in such savage ways?! They call you their father and you let such things happen in your kingdom?!”

R’hllor roared, “Do not raise your voice in front of me you filth!!”

The guards immediately rushed forward and surrounded Edwyn, pointing their spears at him.

But Edwyn wasn’t phased, “What are you? Are you really a God?”

R’hllor eyed him with a strange glint and said, “I have not reached Godhood. But soon, I shall. These are my children. I call them ‘Firbolgs’. My followers sacrifice you humans in fire and from that are born my children, with every sin heightened to its utmost. I allow them to act savagely because their deaths and their raw madness increases my power. This world’s death shall mark my ascent to Godhood.”

R’hllor cackled and continued, “You might be wondering why I’m telling you all of this. You came to my domain, mortal. Do you really think I’ll let you walk away alive? Hah! No, you shall be a part of my army. Seeing that you were able to slay my children so easily, you shall have a special position among my generals. You should feel blessed, punny mortal.”

Edwyn was about to retort when he felt pain all over his body. It wasn’t some superficial pain from a wound, no, R’hllor was actually infusing magic in Edwyn’s body an turn him into a firbolg, forever enslaving him.

Edwyn fell down on his knees as he felt his chakra coils expand at a rapid rate.

‘Kai! Kai! Kai! Kai! Kai! Kai!…’

Trying his best to focus, he frantically dispelled the seals on his body that had healing chakra stored in them. He could feel his coils burst and repair, all the while expanding and increasing his chakra capacity.

‘If I survive this, I’ll have enough chakra to decimate entire armies on my own.’

Edwyn glared at R’hllor with utter disgust and hate.

‘He’s just like the Otsusuki. He’ll kill billions if it’ll give him power. No way in hell will I let this son of a bitch live another day.’

Edwyn panted hard as the pain faded away.

Seeing no change in Edwyn, R’hllor grew impatient and asked, “Why are you still a human?! What sorcery is this?!”

Edwyn coughed and laughed, “For a being who is supposedly reaching Godhood, you are very impatient and quick to anger.”

R’hllor growled menacingly, “Fine! If you can’t be made my slave, then you shall die! Kill him!!”

The guards quickly thrusted their spears at Edwyn. The red-eyed prince smirked and jumped high up in the air while unsealing a katana from his wrist guard. Flipping backwards he landed away from the group of guards and immediately shot towards them, slashing his sword and splitting them into two.

R’hllor stood shocked. Never had he seen a human so fast and strong. Edwyn was dangerous and he needed to be eliminated.

He roared and unsheathed his mighty sword while Edwyn threw away his Katana that had turned red hot from the heat and had become brittle.

R’hllor stomped his way towards Edwyn and slashed down at him with a mighty swing! Edwyn barely managed to dodge it. The swing was so strong that it destroyed the floor when it struck.

“Get over here and accept your death you filth!!”

Edwyn sneered and rolled towards a fallen spear to wield it against R’hllor.

Even though he was disadvantaged in terms of strength, Edwyn’s smaller size gave him more manoeuvrability and speed to dodge R’hllor’s relentless attacks.

Edwyn rolled towards R’hllor’s side and stabbed the spear at the back of his knee, only for the strike to be negated by R’hllor’s full body armour.

“There is no weapon that can pierce through my armour!!”

Edwyn clicked his tongue. The force behind his thrust was good enough, but the spear was unable to bear it and broke from the shaft. He immediately ran towards another set of spears and threw them all at R’hllor.

In response, R’hllor scoffed and raised his unarmed hand upwards in an arc. Following the gesture, a large amount of magma and fire erupted from the floor and acted as a shield to block the spears!

Taking advantage of the pillar of flames blocking R’hllor’s sight, Edwyn manoeuvred around and slugged him hard in the face. The force behind his punch was strong enough to send R’hllor flying through a pillar!

R’hllor was absolutely livid and shouted, “How dare you lay your filthy mortal hands on the Overlord of R’horiam!! I shall burn you to oblivion!!!”

Mad in rage, R’hllor roared and called upon his magic to summon the very magma from beneath the land! The whole island shook and there was widespread panic among the firbolgs. Suddenly, numerous pillars of searing hot lava erupted from beneath the castle and shot up high in the sky, decimating the land and killing numerous firbolgs.

‘The f.u.c.ker is absolutely bonkers!! He’ll destroy his own domain!!’

He just managed to get out of the range of the attack when the pillars merged together in a whole, destroying all chances of escaping a horrible death for anyone who was still alive.

But Edwyn could still feel that R’hllor was very much alive. From the corner of his eye, a sudden glint caught his attention. He focused his sight towards the glint and saw a sword falling towards the ground.

‘To survive such high temperature and force, the sword must be very special.’

Edwyn ran and jumped high in the air to catch it. As he got closer, he could see a reddish glow at the base of the sword’s blade reaching to the middle of it. Even though it looked like a normal castle forged sword, excluding the reddish glow, Edwyn could feel the power radiating from it. Just as he managed to grab the sword, R’hllor emerged from the white-hot pillar of flames and slashed at Edwyn with a roar.

Instinctively, Edwyn brought the sword forward to block the attack. The force behind R’hllor’s slash was so strong that it sent Edwyn crashing down on the island.

Edwyn struggled to stop himself from tumbling and skidding against the searing hot ground and plunged the sword down to make himself stop.

R’hllor landed not very far away from Edwyn. His eyes went towards the sword Edwyn was carrying causing his eyes the grow wide in surprise. Growling in anger, R’hllor pointed his sword at Edwyn and ordered the firbolgs, “Kill that human!!!”

‘He’s afraid of the sword. Which means it is strong enough it pierce his armour and slay him.’

Edwyn began chuckling as the situation reminded him of his battle against the Otsusuki army. He wondered if he should thank R’hllor for expanding his chakra coils. Because it had allowed him to access another kind of power. With mad bloodl.u.s.t, Edwyn stood in a horse stance and focused before shouting, “Fourth Gate: Gate of Pain, open!”

The ground shattered under his feet and Edwyn immediately shot towards the approaching swarm of savaged beings. Slashing his sword while roaring like a beast incarnate, Edwyn laid waste to R’hllor’s firbolg army.

Hundreds of thousands of corpses littered the island of R’horiam as a very wounded Edwyn continued to slay the firbolgs and made his way to the enraged R’hllor, who had abandoned all care for his ‘children’ as he ploughed through the firbolgs and ran towards Edwyn.

When their swords clashed, the land itself gave away under their immense power.

Edwyn shouted again, “Fifth Gate: Gate of Limit, open!”

Immense power rolled off Edwyn’s body as he exchanged slash after slash with R’hllor, none wanting to back down from the fight in which one little slip could mean their death.

Fatigue was taking over their bodies but they stood their ground. Slowly, Edwyn began taking the upper hand.

Edwyn managed to slash at R’hllor’s sword arm, making a big gash appear on it. R’hllor grunted in pain. Without wasting another moment, Edwyn attacked him with a whirlwind of slashes, managing to rip apart R’hllor’s armour and sent the being flying away.

“A selfish and cruel being like you doesn’t deserve to breathe another whiff of this world’s air!! Today marks the end of your life, R’hllor!!!”

Edwyn dashed towards the downed form of R’hllor and slashed at his neck.

Just as he was about to be beheaded, R’hllor gathered the rest of his power and called upon the magma from beneath the entire island. Edwyn rushed to behead him but was a little late to prevent the attack from commencing.

The entire island was blown up to smithereens. Edwyn was flung miles away towards the sea. He barely managed to seal away the magical sword in a seal before he splashed into the waves and fainted.

An unknown time later, Edwyn briefly regained his consciousness. He was still floating above the sea but the current wasn’t violent anymore. With bleary eyes, Edwyn saw a red comet in the sky as his back landed on solid ground. Soon after, he lost the battle to stay awake and passed out.

A/N: Man that was a tough chapter to type. Took me hours to finish it. Tell me if you liked it or not. I tried to create an epic battle between two mighty beings. Hope it lived up to your expectations.
