Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 452 Kill!!

Jawan also took out a King Grade Sword, however, it was just at the Low-Level compared to the one in front of him which was at Mid-Level.

Their swords glowed brightly and released undulations that spread towards each other and clashed in between them, trying to gain the momentum and advantage to their battle.

*Boom!~*

With a resounding step in the air, Daniuis made the first move. He instantly arrived in front of Jawan and clashed with the latter’s sword at the same time it was swung at him.

The undulations that came from the clash traveled downwards as it destroyed the outer buildings of the Royal Palace and even the hallways.

Fortunately, no one was there at that point, otherwise, their ending would’ve been miserable.

The Grand Elder calmly moved retreated from them while placing a palm on his mouth as if he was yawning. He couldn’t help but stretch his body, feeling lethargic from the time he spent with that queen.

Unfortunately, the queen had chosen to self-destruct, otherwise, he had planned on going another round with her after they had taken care of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

’I should’ve enslaved her...’ The Grand Elder couldn’t help but think, ’I was too lenient with her...’

"Your damned soul will never reincarnate!" Daniuis furiously spat out a curse at Jawan while his sharp sword tried to gain the upper hand.

Daniuis had no choice but to make this first move. If he stayed while waiting for the opponent’s move, then the one’s behind him would die just from the remnant force of their clash, so he opted to bring the battle to Jawan.

Jawan crazily smiled when he saw Daniuis’s expression while he tried to push higher, "Well, I’ll be damned!"

*Ting!~*

With a parry, their swords slid past each other and suddenly, the swelling rage of flames erupted between them, engulfing them in blazing flames! However, they both didn’t retreat.

Daniuis’s robes were blazing as it turned into ashes. He instantly employed a water-based technique using his essence energy to counter the fire that had been unleashed.

’This bastard decisively used a King Grade Fire Talisman!!’ Daniuis grit his teeth as he heard the brunt of being burnt to ashes, however, the Mid-Level King Grade Defensive Vest he wore inside protected him and the gentle lake enveloping him swiftly released bubbled as steam quickly formed.

His gaze turned to his children and the last thing he saw was them being surrounded by the Arc Song Mercenaries before the steam entirely engulfed his view.

"Arggghhhh!!!!!" Desperation welled up within his heart, making Daniuis’s eyes go bloodshot.

He couldn’t help but let out a furious roar, "Bastard, I will have your life even if I die!!!!!"

*Bzz!~*

A circular water domain was unleashed along with a wind domain. The former had high defensive properties and flexibility while the latter portrayed intense winds that threatened to strike and cleave anything in its range!

Both of their domains covered a part of the Royal Palace as the buildings that could even withstand a Fifth Stage Cultivator’s attack started to crumble into rubble.

======

Glyn trembled as he looked at the numerous figures surrounding him. It wasn’t as if the others were pressuring him with their soul force or essence energy, it was just that he felt fear welling up within his heart.

Lucia was already crying from gazing at her father plunging at danger for them. He could’ve escaped yet he stayed behind to create an opportunity for them to escape.

However, with the person who arrived before her, everything changed into one of despair.

The Grand Elder stood before Lucia and looked at her in pity, "Sigh, your father chose to not wear that name. If he did, then even if I had ten times the guts, I wouldn’t dare to make you my slave..."

Lucia’s eyes turned dull in despair, however, a person suddenly stood in front of her while holding her brother in one of his arms.

The Grand Elder blinked but then gazed at the person in front of him with interest.

Trembling while trying to protect the woman behind him?

"Ah, I see..." The Grand Elder slightly chuckled as he found the sight familiar.

’How many times I have seen this spectacle... Every time this happens, I can’t help but feel a profound feeling in my heart...’ The Grand Elder inwardly shook his head before he lifted up his hand and pointed a finger at Glyn.

"Unfortunately, I don’t need you to be my slave, young man."

Glyn instinctively trembled as his life flashed past his eyes. However, he suddenly turned back and spoke a few words which he kept in his heart for a long time.

"Lucia, I love you..."

*Splash!~*

Blood splashed on Lucia’s face, dying her expression crimson red.

In front of Lucia’s eyes, a big hole was struck open on Glyn’s left chest, his beating heart was nowhere to be seen. Blood literally oozed out of the hole as it soaked his body.

Lucia slowly widened her eyes. Her pupils dilated as and her mouth was half open as if she were in disbelief.

Glyn’s eyes turned dull as he fell from the air, plummeting towards the ground along with the unconscious Lucas, still holding tight in his arms.

The light in Lucia’s eyes slowly returned, a despairing shout escaping from her mouth, "Glyn!!!"

However, at the same time, the Grand Elder flinched as his eyes shot towards his side but his entire body suddenly exploded into a mangled mess of flesh causing Lucia to be stunned into silence.

A person within a black robe while wearing a raven-shaped mask, exuding peerless undulations of suppressing one’s sense of physical strength suddenly appeared behind where the once whole Grand Elder stood.

The masked person’s palm was clenched into a bloody fist, however, it still shook considerably as if its anger hadn’t been quelled.

======

Blood with boundless vitality spread around the air as the splattered blood fell and spread to the surface of the surface.

A one-hit kill! Filled with extreme killing intent!

The Grand Elder had noticed an assassin but it was too late to react by then because he had been wide open! He didn’t believe an enemy could suddenly appear out of nowhere to strike him!

He was among the strongest persons in the Tripartite Alliance Territory!

How? How could someone end his life with just a sneak attack?

The Grand Elder didn’t even have the time to think of this before he died a brutal death!

Princess Isabella looked at her bloodied knuckles, however, she didn’t feel victorious but a sense of loss welled up within her.

Why did she feel a sense of loss when she should be happy about her succeeding with her stealth kill?

Because she had sacrificed a person to kill the most powerful person in the enemy group, the Grand Elder.

Not only had she sacrificed the person who tried to protect his loved one, but she also sacrificed her own convictions.

It took her all to just hold back from making a move from all these atrocities and evil deeds committed by these people. Just after Davis left in the direction where Nina was, she had noticed the cruelty these people enacted in this place.

Her heart raged for them but it also turned cold when she noticed their deadpan expressions.

At the same time, she noticed that Daniuis and the people she was supposed to protect were in a bind. She had been biding her time, to make a single move which would change the tides!
