I Become A Mob Character In A Novel

[Samael Ashwood's POV]

"I, MYSELF WILL END THOSE BETRAYING THE CROWN, WITH THIS!" King Cedric screamed as he pulled a purple vial in which a dark, swirling liquid glowed ominously. His eyes burned with desperation and fury as he uncorked the vial and downed its contents in one swift motion.

The moment he swallowed the potion, the room was filled with a suffocating darkness. Cedric's golden aura twisted and distorted, turning a sickly shade of purple. His body convulsed as the dark magic surged through him, transforming his once radiant form into a monstrous silhouette. His eyes glowed an eerie violet, and dark tendrils of energy writhed around him like living shadows.

Elysia's eyes narrowed as she recognized the forbidden magic. "He's using a dark enhancement potion. We need to be careful."

"Samael," Elysia said, her voice steady but urgent, "be ready. This is going to get much worse before it gets better."

I nodded, focusing my mana as I prepared for the imminent clash. Sensing the escalation, the other mages tightened their defenses and readied their spells. The court was on edge, every breath held in anticipation of the coming storm.

Cedric's voice boomed through the chamber, now distorted and resonant with dark power. "You dare challenge my authority? You will all pay for your insolence!"

With a guttural roar, Cedric unleashed a wave of dark energy that surged toward us, crackling with malevolent force. Elysia immediately summoned a barrier of vines, but the dark energy tore through them like paper, forcing her to reinforce the barrier with even more mana.

"Everyone, brace yourselves!" Elysia shouted as she extended her protective barrier to encompass our allies. The mages tightened their formations, their combined magics creating a multi-layered shield against Cedric's onslaught.

"Space Magic: Eternal Shield!" I invoked, adding another layer of protection with a shimmering dome of violet energy. The dark energy crashed against our combined defenses, causing the barriers to ripple and strain under the pressure.

King Cedric, now a twisted figure of dark power, advanced with relentless fury. His eyes blazed with madness as he summoned another wave of dark energy, aiming to crush our defenses and subjugate us all.

Elysia's gaze was fierce and determined. "We can't let him continue this rampage. Samael, follow my lead. We need to bring him down before he causes irreparable damage."

I nodded, focusing my mana and preparing to launch a counterattack. "I'm with you, Mother. Let's end this."

Elysia channeled her Nature Magic, summoning massive roots from the ground that wrapped around Cedric's legs, trying to immobilize him. At the same time, I invoked "Space Magic: Dimensional Bind," creating chains of spatial energy that coiled around Cedric's torso, further restricting his movements.

King Cedric struggled against our combined restraints, his dark energy flaring violently as he tried to break free. "You think these tricks will stop me? I am the king!"

"Yeah~ Yeah~ we know," I said sarcastically as I held the hilt of the sword hanging by my side.

"What you gonna do with this rusted and withered sword!" Lady Eveline shouted at me as she continued to channel her magic, forming a powerful spear of water that she hurled at Cedric.

The spear of water surged through the air, its force amplified by Lady Eveline's mastery over elemental magic. It struck Cedric with a powerful impact, dousing the dark flames that surrounded him momentarily. However, the dark energy within Cedric absorbed the water, turning it into steam that hissed and evaporated almost instantly.

Cedric's laughter echoed through the chamber, a sound twisted by the dark magic coursing through him. "Is that all you've got? You can't stop me with mere elemental attacks!"

Elysia's expression hardened, and she glanced at me. "Samael, we need to combine our attacks. He's too powerful to be taken down by individual strikes."

"You are mistaken, Mother. Please step aside for a moment," I said as I slowly walked toward the mad king with my thumb right under the hilt of my sword, ready to draw it. My calm demeanor seemed to agitate Cedric even more, his monstrous form thrashing against the combined restraints.

"You dare approach me with such arrogance?" Cedric roared, his voice a mix of human and demonic tones. "I will obliterate you!"

Ignoring his threats, I continued forward, my focus entirely on the blade in my hand. I could feel the energy within it, a power I had not yet fully understood or unleashed. As I reached a point just a few meters away from Cedric, I stopped and looked up at him, my eyes locking onto his crazed violet gaze.

"This sword may look withered and rusted," I said, my voice steady and unwavering. "But it holds a power far greater than you can comprehend."

Cedric snarled, his dark energy flaring violently as he prepared to unleash another wave of destruction. But before he could strike, I drew the sword in one swift, fluid motion, channeling my mana into the blade.

"Flaming Sword Of The Nine Suns: Third Sun; Black Flames~"

The moment the blade was drawn, it burst into flames, but these were no ordinary flames. They were dark and twisted, black as the void, with hints of crimson that seemed to consume the very light around them. The temperature in the room soared, the air crackling with the intense heat radiating from the sword.

Cedric's eyes widened in disbelief and fear. "What is that power? No mortal should possess such magic!"

Ignoring his words, I held the sword high, the black flames licking hungrily at the air. The power of the Nine Suns surged through me, each pulse of energy more potent than the last. The third sun, the black flames, represented destruction in its purest form—a power that could obliterate any darkness.

"Behold the power of the Nine Suns," I intoned, my voice echoing with the combined might of the celestial flames. "This is your end, Cedric."

With a swift, decisive motion, I slashed the sword downward, sending a wave of black fire surging toward Cedric. The flames roared like a living beast, consuming everything in their path. Cedric tried to conjure a barrier of dark energy to protect himself, but it was no match for the black flames. The barrier shattered like glass, and the flames engulfed him entirely.

Cedric's screams filled the chamber as the black flames tore through his corrupted form. His dark energy was no match for the pure, destructive power of the Nine Suns. Within moments, his monstrous form was reduced to ashes, and the dark magic that had twisted him purged completely.

The room fell silent, the oppressive darkness lifted as the last remnants of Cedric's power were consumed by the flames. I stood there, the black flames still flickering around the blade, breathing heavily from the exertion of channeling such immense power.

Ping~ Shatter!

A sword dropped from the hands of a noble as everyone present was gawking at me, a mere seventeen-year-old boy killing a seventh-circle mage who used further enhancement with a single sword technique. The silence in the chamber was palpable, broken only by the faint crackle of the dying flames and the sound of Cedric's ashes settling to the ground.

Elysia was the first to speak, her voice filled with a mixture of awe and relief. "Samael, you did it. You actually did it."

I sheathed the sword, feeling the residual heat and energy slowly dissipating. "It had to be done," I replied, my voice calm despite the adrenaline still coursing through my veins. "He was too far gone. The dark magic had consumed him."

Lady Eveline approached cautiously, her eyes wide with a newfound respect. "That was... incredible. I've never seen anything like it."

"Neither have I," I admitted, glancing at the now-calm sword by my side. "The power of the Nine Suns is something I am still learning to control. But in moments like this, it seems to know exactly what needs to be done."

The other nobles and mages began to murmur among themselves, their shock slowly giving way to gratitude and admiration. Elysia stepped forward, her gaze sweeping the room. "Let this be a lesson to all who dare to use dark magic to seize power. The Ashwood family stands against such corruption, and we will always fight to protect our kingdom and our people."

There was a murmur of agreement, and I could see the resolve in their faces. The danger had passed, but the fight against darkness was far from over. The nobles who had once been allies of Cedric now looked at me with a mixture of fear and respect, realizing the true power that lay within the Ashwood family.

Elysia turned to me, her eyes filled with pride. "You've proven yourself today, Samael. Not just as a mage, but as a leader. The kingdom owes you a great debt."

I nodded, feeling the weight of her words. "I did what was necessary. For the crown, for our family, and for the future of Blackthorn."

"But what now? What about the kingdom, as the king is dead?" Lady Eveline asked, her voice tinged with concern and urgency. The chamber, still filled with the lingering echoes of battle, now faced the sobering reality of a leaderless realm.

Elysia stepped forward, her posture regal and commanding. "The kingdom must not be left in a state of uncertainty. We must act swiftly to stabilize the situation and ensure a smooth transition of power."

One of the elder nobles, Lord Alistair, a respected figure among the council, spoke up. "Lady Elysia is right. We need to convene an emergency council meeting to discuss the succession and maintain order."
