Chapter 405

“Kill him, now!”

Sophia was the first one who realized what to do . Through Secondary Telepathic Bond, she commanded Frederick to take action .

She was not panicking . She had Frederick, a radiant knight whose power was given by a demon, to fight for her . Also, the gold knight, Metatron, was on her side . Even a senior-rank sorcerer would not be too much of a threat!

Pretending to be afraid, she took a few steps backward . Her right foot reached the floor tile which was a bit untight .

As soon as she entered the hall, Sophia’s every single movement was well planned .

Things had gone beyond her expectation . She had to leave right now .

At this time, she saw the beautiful sapphire ring on Beaulac’s left hand . Before Sophia could cast any spells to protect herself, the ring suddenly lit up and then a light ray hit her straightly .

Instantly, Sophia realized that her connection to magic had been completely cut off . Although she could still feel her own blood power, the power was constrained within her body . The telepathic bond between Frederick and her had also been disabled .

“Anti-magic Ray?” Sophia’s green eyes opened wide . There was no doubt that the stranger who was playing Beaulac was a senior-rank sorcerer!

As a caster, she knew how terrible the power of a senior-rank sorcerer could be . Although she was always quite confident, now Sophia felt her legs trembling . Thus, she turned to look at Frederick with her beautiful and helpless eyes .

Unlike Wrath or Pain, Sophia was still more or less able to communicate with Greed because of her status as a princess and her dazzling beauty .

Frederick burst out a loud cry, “All mine! Mine! You can’t take it away!”

Around Frederick, the haze of blood slowly rose and then surrounded him . Targeting the new enemy, Frederick rushed directly at Lucien .

Swept by the blood haze, Prince Beyer went down on his knees, and his green sword was also dropped . He was not able to stand on his feet anymore after using the Anger of Justice .

Prince Beyer’s original plan was to frighten Sophia and her people to make some time for himself by using the Anger of Justice, however, somehow Frederick had changed his target and right now the fight was between Beaulac and Frederick .

What was to his surprise was that Beaulac was, in fact, a senior-rank sorcerer .

This provided Beyer with a little hope . No matter, in the end, the sorcerer won or lose, the consequence would not be worse than Sophia and this monster winning the game . At least Beyer could try to talk to the sorcerer . After all, they were not direct enemies .

The enemy of his enemy was his friend!

He realized that the cost of using Justice was great . Beyer felt extremely dizzy and he already could not see clearly . The things that he saw became very blurry .

Seeing Frederick being covered in the blood haze, Lucien’s right pupil darkened as if there was a night sky in his eye . In the back velvet of the night sky, there were countless stars .

“Level six radiant knight… Just reached the level . Ability: Fusion and Devouring . “

“Crazy . Non-energy body . High spell resistance . “

“Blood Haze . A defense spell . Strongly corrosive . Absorbing . “

This was the fourth circle spell in the school of Astrology, Analysis .

The spell was built on the caster’s knowledge . Using the spell, the caster could assess how powerful his enemy was and find the enemy’s strong and weak points .

A bolt of lightning, which just lit up, quickly disappeared in the air . Deniz tried to fight with Frederick against Lucien, but the summoned lightening was instantly devoured by the blood haze .

Frederick was almost right in front of Lucien . Some dim light covered Lucien but also quickly disappeared .

Then the blood maze started swirling, mixing with the sound of the blast . The blood eddies appeared one by one as the air formed the horrible, messy currents .

Soon the maze was divided into parts as the air currents were driving and pulling it . Inside, the disgusting monster with no skin and veins was exposed .

The fifth circle force field spell, Devouring Vortex!

The monster burst out a harsh cry . The veins quickly retreated like wriggly tentacles . At this time, the light purple ring on Lucien’s right hand became bright and dazzling .

Gold, green, blue, black… The colorful light spots enclosed the monster and formed a huge vortex, tearing down everything inside that consists of elements .

The body of the monster was destroyed, and the monster’s soul was also gone .

When the vortex disappeared, the broken veins were the only things left on the ground .

At this time, the veins started wriggling, as if they were trying to assemble together again!

Lucien’s face was expressionless . He reached out his right hand, and his fingers spread out . The mysterious symbols joined together and formed an old book page . Then all the veins exploded silently and then evaporated .

This was a unique magic from the congress, Demon Elegy!

Seeing this, Sophia’s body slightly trembled . She could not believe what just happened in front of her: Frederick, whose power was given by the demon, Greed, had been killed so easily like this!

She had no idea how powerful this senior-rank sorcerer was .

Her face turned very pale . She looked back at the entrance of the hall several times, but no one was there .

Holding the sword, Deniz had come back to Sophia . Although he was scared, Deniz still chose to stand in front of the princess to protect her .

Sophia kept telling herself that she had to calm down right now . She had to somehow make more time for herself until Sir Metatron came .

Knowing that the Glorious Crown, Metatron, was still on her side, Sophia came down again . When she was about to make the offer to the mysterious sorcerer to share Sun King’s treasure, and promise him that he could leave safely later, the look on Sophia’s face slightly changed .

Arthen was having a hard time swallowing down his saliva mixing with blood . Seeing the strange Beaulac, he almost collapsed to the ground . He wondered who this young man was, and which side was he going to help .

Although with his strong willpower as a grand knight, Arthen still managed to stand still, he had no idea what to do . He did not know whether he should launch his attack or defend, or probably just be here waiting for the trial from the fake Beaulac .

Jocelyn, who was beside Arthen, murmured, “This isn’t Beaulac… He’s not . No wonder all of a sudden he just became so confident and elegant, and so powerful…”

Hearing the praising, Arthen felt rather envious and pissed . He could not bear that Jocelyn had such affection for the fake Beaulac, and he even thought to himself whether Jocelyn was, in fact, hoping to see the fake Beaulac winning the title and the even the entire empire in the end!

Lots of negative emotions were boiling in his mind .

After destroying the demon, Greed, with the mild smile which made Sophia rather scared, Lucien walked to her .

“Sir, the distinguished sorcerer, we can join our hands . You can leave this underground palace safe and sound,” said Sophia with a sweet smile, which was also rather touching and delicate . However, at this time, a flash of joy very quickly passed in her eyes in a very unnoticeable manner .

Behind Lucien, the look on Arthen’s face suddenly became very creepy . The blue veins under his forehead skin bulged and then quickly turned dark red .

” . . . !” Seeing the change happened to Arthen, Jocelyn’s heart was filled with fear . But before she could cry out, a distorted, dark red vein stuck out from her throat .

Her beautiful eyes quickly dimmed . Her face was written with immeasurable shock and fear .

Arthen’s smile became even scarier . The demon, Greed, was not that easy to be killed .

At this time, a cold light ray fiercely burst out from Lucien, who did not even turn around . And the ray hit Arthen directly with great accuracy .

A layer of ice crystal quickly covered his body, as if he had been put into an ice coffin .

The light reflected on the ice coffin was dazzling, but the light was rather cold as if it was capable of freezing one’s soul .

What also froze was the smile on Sophia’s face .

Very quickly the ice coffin melted down, together taking away Arthen’s body, soul, as well as the projection of the demon, Greed, on him . After a few seconds, everything was gone .

Lucien knew from the very beginning that there was no way that Devouring Vortex and Demon Elegy could completely destroy one of the most mysterious demons . He was just luring the demon to find a new body . What could really kill the demon projection was the spell, Silent Ice Coffin .

Lucien’s knowledge of the demon was all from the little crystal dragon, Alferris! He had to extend his sincere gratitude to the little dragon!

“Your Highness, was Frederick an uncontrollable monster?” Deniz knew what just happened to Arthen was a horrible sign .

And the rest of the nobles who were still alive also knew this .

Sophia’s lips trembled . The way she looked could force a man to show great gentleness and mercy for her . The senior-rank sorcerer’s power was beyond her imagination . In front of him, Sophia and Frederick power were like kids holding their toy sword . There was no way that they could fight back .

She did not respond to Deniz’s question because of the fear . Again, she looked at the entrance, waiting for her the most powerful support .

Then her eyes instantly lit up like starts had fallen into her eyes, for she saw clearly that the one who she had been waiting for was standing right there .

Sir Metatron had arrived . Because of his age, he had white hair . Thin and tall, he was wearing a white shirt and a pair of fitting trousers and dark brown boots . He looked rather calm .

“Sir Metatron! A vicious sorcerer is here!”

Sophia cried and ran to the old knight as if she was a kid who had been bullied . She did not worry at all that the sorcerer would attack her from behind, for she knew that she was standing within the defense range of a level nine gold knight!

The corner of Metatron’s lips curved up . A slightly painful smile was on his face .

Sophia finally saw her bright hope . Finally, everything could come to an end when Sir Metatron killed all her enemies here .

Suddenly, a familiar figure rushed in front of her, and then it was pierced through by a sharp, black thorn .

“…Deniz?”

Staring at Deniz’s beautiful face, Sophia was confused . But when she looked up, fear completely seized her heart . The face of Sir Metatron, the Glorious Crown, was written with the most painful smile!

Surrounded by the black mist, the old knight stood there . In the black mist, there were many painful faces . She saw Andris’s face, and also Duda’s!

“Monster… Sir Metatron is also a monster now!”

That was the end… Sophia’s breakdown point was there .

She burst out the bitter scream and collapsed to the ground . All of her elegance and calmness had gone . She even peed her pants .

Deniz tried his best looking back, and left his last words, “Only you… treat me… like a sister…”

His eyes slowly closed, and his breathing stopped .

Sophia’s tears ran out of her eyes out of control . They were the tears of sorrow, pain, despair, and regret . Together, these emotions formed a nightmare maze that she could no longer escape .

With the countless painful face, Metatron took a step back . His eyes had no focus .

Sophia cried out loud again and crawled back on the ground with her hands . Her mind could not take this anymore .

“Please…please help me…”

When she almost passed out, the figure that was wearing the black magic robe came to her . Gripping her last line of hope, she looked at Lucien and cried for help .

The young sorcerer was also looking at her, and he sighed,

“Greed…”
