Chapter 225 And So, the Demon King Blew the Horn (Part 3)
Only Louise remained relatively calm.
She quickly sensed that something was amiss.
"Wait, the Crown Prince is dead, the Second Prince is also dead. The Emperor has a total of four heirs. The Fourth Princess has already chosen the position of the Radiant Saintess, so it\'s impossible. Then, does this mean that the Seventh Prince emerged victorious in the struggle between the princes?"
"How could it be Olba? No, it\'s indeed possible. The Seventh Prince\'s relic is the Holy Sword, the strongest in combat power among the many relics. If he truly found a way to unleash the power of that Holy Sword, it\'s not impossible for him to kill the other princes."
"But that fool only thinks about inheriting the throne, he\'s a complete idiot. In terms of scheming, he can\'t compare to the other two princes at all. Letting such a prince win, could this also be the Emperor\'s calculation?"
Louise didn\'t even realize that after her mind became a tangled mess, her previous demeanor as the Leader of the Blood Race was completely gone.
At this moment, the girl was biting her fingernails, her delicate eyebrows almost furrowed into a twist, as if she was rapidly speculating about the course of events and the intricate power relations behind this bizarre outcome.
Until…
Reji: "Olba is also dead."
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Louise was like a high-speed running machine that suddenly jammed in the middle. Her mind was completely stunned. The girl ancestor actually jumped up from her seat with a whoosh, somewhat irritated, and questioned:
"What did you say? The Seventh Prince is also dead? Well, well, well! All the princes are dead, right? Tell me, with only one heirs left, who else could have killed Olba? Don\'t tell me he committed suicide?"
"In a sense, well, I guess so."
Reji recalled the process of Olba\'s death. The Seventh Prince indeed died due to the backlash of breaking his oath when he attacked himself with the Holy Sword.
He didn\'t plan to keep them in suspense any longer. In fact, Reji had been hesitating before, but after discovering the strategic value of these scholars, he made up his mind.
Without saying much, Reji directly took out the Sword of Oath. This Holy Sword, shining with radiance in his hand, instantly attracted the attention of Louise and all the human scholars.
The girl ancestor reacted the fastest.
Louise\'s round lips were now shaped into an O, her eyes wide open, as if she had just realized everything.
"It\'s, it\'s you!?"
"It\'s me."
"The one who killed the Crown Prince... was also you!?"
"It\'s me."
"Then the riot in the Court of Judgment—"
"It\'s me."
Reji\'s three consecutive "It\'s me" petrified Louise. At any other time, she would never believe it even if she was killed. Who could kill three princes with Hero Relics in a row?
But now, the three relics surrounding Reji\'s hand were the best evidence, forcing Louise to believe.
No.
Indeed there was.
"You, you are a descendant of the Hero!??" This was the only possibility Louise could think of.
But soon, after the shock, she exploded again.
Because she thought of another extremely terrifying consequence.
"Wait, if all the princes are really dead, then that means no one is managing Stillwater Prison now!??"
The girl looked anxious.
The other human scholars seemed to be reminded at this moment, and they all came back to their senses, immediately understanding what Louise meant.
"No wonder, no wonder the Gloom disappeared!"
"It\'s over! We can\'t stay here! Let\'s go! Those guys from the \'Forbidden Area\' are coming out without a manager in Stillwater Prison!!"
Just as Louise\'s words fell.
The next moment, the ground beneath the gathering place began to tremble faintly.
And from outside, there was also a burst of commotion.
Among them, there were terrified screams from "The Tenth Apostle" Skaven.
"Great Demon King! Not good, squeak! Monsters! All monsters! From the direction of the Forbidden Area!"
When Reji went out and looked from high up.
The scene was indeed sanity-draining.
Lumps of flesh and blood were squirming on the ground, forming various bizarre shapes.
There were huge floating eyeballs, crawlers with seven arms like centipedes, obese and bloated giants like mountains of flesh, and headless wanderers...
All the flesh monsters, like distorted locusts, began to sweep across the entire Stillwater Prison. Explore stories on мѵʟ
"Those are the monsters that have accumulated in Stillwater Prison for a thousand years, all degenerated and mutated into the offspring of evil gods! They should have been sealed in the Forbidden Area and unable to come out, but now, damn it! It\'s too late! It\'s already too late!"
Under such a monster tide, Louise was desperate and helpless. They moved very fast. In just a few breaths, there were less than five hundred meters left. She might be able to break through by herself, but what about the other Blood Race members?
Even if she escaped, what then? Leaving her as the only kin of her race in the world, all alone?
At this time, Louise could only place her hopeful gaze on Reji, wondering if this "descendant of the Hero" could turn the tide and unleash some powerful force to block the monsters and buy time for their escape.
What a pity.
The descendant of the Hero obviously couldn\'t do it.
But—
"Miss Louise, are you willing to lead the Blood Race to submit to the rule of our Demon Race?" Reji suddenly asked out of the blue.
Louise: "...?"
Louise was puzzled. She couldn\'t understand, at a time like this, how could Reji still be playing that Demon Race house game.
"Miss Louise, if you\'re a little slower, it will be too late. If you accept, then the Demon Race will give you and your Blood Race protection."
"Submit! Don\'t even mention ruling, I\'ll even be your slave! Where is your Demon Race army? Bring it out please!"
Louise was at her wit\'s end. Seeing the flesh monsters that had already approached within a hundred meters, she almost screamed, transforming that desperate emotion into anger at Reji for still joking around at this time.
Until—
"As you wish."
In fact, Reji had already set up a teleportation anchor point on the map at the Blood Race gathering place.
As his words fell, a Star Spirit Crystal filled with psionic energy was taken out from his bosom and turned into a stream of light, floating to the sky above the camp.
And then. The glittering Star Spirit Crystal burst into a dazzling glow.
Crystalline teleportation anchors materialized from the void.
One after another, phantoms surrounded the town.
Among them were Great Demons with hideous horns, their entire bodies seeming to flow with lava, walking out of purgatory.
There were Sword Demons with specialized limbs, their entire bodies forged into weapons, the most ruthless killing machines.
There were Shadow Demons shrouded in shadows, as if following like a shadow, omnipresent. There were also rows of Sorcery Demons wearing magic robes and crow masks, emanating strong magic fluctuations.
There were big-bellied Decay Demons spewing highly corrosive mist, their appearance no less than monsters. There were also Wisdom Demons in charge of commanding and planning the battle, countless enhancement halos enveloping the army, with human bodies and snake faces.
Five seconds ago, what Louise feared were the flesh monsters rushing out from the Forbidden Area.
And in just five short seconds. What Louise, the Blood Race members, all the human scholars, and even "The Tenth Apostle" Skaven and those other races feared was no longer the flesh monsters.
Because compared to the flesh monsters, another was the true source of terror.
That was— The Demon Race members who were continuously, increasingly, almost madly descending upon Stillwater Prison.
That was, without a doubt… The true Demons!
