Chapter 648

"Woo …"

At a certain moment in the spacious and bright room, a soft hum slowly appeared and rang out.

Sean opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling. It was not until a while later that his blank mind was gradually filled with energy again.

"What am I …?"

Shien murmured blankly.

Beside him, an indifferent voice answered him.

"You have returned to your room in Bigusler's house, Lord Shien."

The moment the familiar cold voice entered Shien's ears, Shien's spirit was roused and he woke up.

At that moment, Sean bounced up from the bed and looked to the side.

"La Xia!"

Shien called out the name of the maid standing beside the bed.

It was La Xia.

"You are finally awake."

La Xia's voice was not high-spirited at all.

However, Sean was keenly aware that there was a hint of relief in the other party's eyes for a moment.

"La Xia …" Shien looked at La Xia and only reacted after a while. He said hesitantly, "Did I fall asleep …?"

"… Yes, you fell asleep." La Xia was silent for a while. Then, she said, "Although you slept for a long time, your body is fine. This is a great fortune in misfortune."

As she spoke, she handed a sword to Sean, which she was holding in her arms.

"Your Sacred Sword."

La Xia spoke as if she was talking about an ordinary iron sword.

"Sacred Sword …"

Shien took the sword out of reflex. Then, he finally remembered.

"By the way, I lost consciousness in the battle against Mara."

That was the result of him using too much power to deal with Mo Luo, who had entered the Transcendent Realm and possessed incomparably terrifying power. That was the result of him using too much power.

Shien remembered that he had not only completely unsealed the Sacred Sword, but he had also activated [Samsara] to the limit and obtained ten times the usual power. Together with the power of the Sacred Sword, he had finally cut down the Death Sun that was falling from the sky.

Then, he had killed Mara on the spot.

But at the same time, his magic power had been drained by [Samsara], which had been activated to the limit.

Moreover, he had collided head-on with the Death Sun. [Rida's Destiny] and the protection of the Sacred Sword could not block all the damage. His whole body endured a burning pain, and he fainted on the spot and fell from the sky.

Shien's memory ended there.

Looking at Sean like this, Si Xia seemed to be able to guess what Sean was thinking about, so she spoke.

"After that, Lady Lilith, who had successfully escaped, seemed to have caught you and brought you back here."

That was why Shien was lying here in a deep sleep.

At this time, his injuries had completely recovered, and the magic power in his body had become abundant again. He had returned to his prime.

No, it wasn't just returning to its peak.

Shien found that the magic power in his body had increased, and his power had become a lot stronger.

In terms of magic power, if Shien could only maintain [Samsara] for ten minutes before, he could now maintain it for about fifteen minutes.

"How come my magic power has increased so much?"

Shien was stunned.

But then, Shien thought of something and checked his current level in his mind.

Looking at it, Shien was stunned.

[Lv.95]

"… It can't be?"

Shien was dumbfounded.

Before this, Shien was level 79, still one step away from level 80.

Now, he was supposed to be level 79, but he suddenly became level 95, which really surprised Shien.

No wonder his magic power increased so much. Did he increase by sixteen levels in one go?

"I … I'm Legendary now?"

Shien was dumbfounded.

But then, Shien understood.

"Originally, the harder the battle, the easier it is for people to grow and quickly increase their level. This time, I put in a lot of effort. In the end, I almost died, and I even killed a Transcendent Level existence on the spot. It seems reasonable that my level increased so much at once."

In the end, Mara undoubtedly used some kind of power to exert the combat power of a Transcendent Level. If he could defeat her, it meant that his potential had not been exhausted, and his growth speed was different from ordinary people. Naturally, his level would soar.

Of course, Shien always felt that luck was the main reason why he could defeat Mara.

"At that time, Mara was already an arrow at the end of its flight. She couldn't even fight back."

Otherwise, even if Shien used all his trump cards, he shouldn't have been able to kill her with a single slash.

At that time, Mara's body showed some abnormalities, which allowed Shien to kill her after cutting down the 'Death Sun'.

Shien looked at the Holy Sword in his hand, then looked at La Xia.

"How long have I been asleep?"

Sean decided to ask about it.

"You've been asleep for three days." La Xia said expressionlessly, "Your injuries had already recovered two days ago. As for your magic power, it recovered a day later than your injuries because it needed to recover a lot. However, it was fully recovered last night."

As such, Shien woke up this morning.

If it were someone else, it wouldn't have been so easy.

However, Shien's [Rida's Mandate] not only had astonishing defensive capabilities, but it could also quickly recover from injuries by consuming magic power. Coupled with [Rida's Mandate]'s rapid recovery of magic power, Shien was able to fully recover in just two days.

Shien got up from the bed and asked La Xia, "What's the situation now? Where's Tierre and Lilith?"

"Miss Lilith is guarding outside. She seems to be blaming herself for not being able to help." La Xia immediately took a coat from the clothes rack and helped Shien put it on. She replied, "Miss Tierre suffered quite a few injuries and has been recuperating."

"What about the others?" Shien frowned and asked, "Are they alright?"

"Captain Lockett and Miss Tilly are fine," La Xia replied slowly, "Her Highness Capeline, on the other hand, is in a bit of trouble."

Then, La Xia explained everything to Shien.

After Shien dealt with Mara and was taken away by Lilith, the battle was declared over.

Due to the clash between Shien and Mara, the Imperial Capital suffered a huge shockwave and was in a half-destroyed state. Only a few buildings protected by barriers remained intact, and the Bigusle House was one of them.

The people in the Imperial Capital didn't suffer too many casualties. It seemed that the Adventurer's Guild had helped, and the Adventurers had protected many civilians.

The palace, on the other hand, was almost completely destroyed. As the center of the impact, even the highest-level barrier could not protect it. In the end, it became half a ruin.

Then, Lockett and Tilly led a team to rescue Tierre, Capeline, Jarvis, the female knights of the Broken Blade Knights, and the survivors in the palace.

Saliro and Geno, on the other hand, brought their families and escaped from the Imperial Capital with the nobles who had conspired with them.

Evidently, Mara's death and Shien's appearance had made these people feel that they had no hope of fighting for power.

Therefore, they took the chance to defect and escape, not daring to stay in the Imperial Capital any longer.

"Now, Captain Lockett has regained control of the Imperial Knights. He's leading the knights to deal with various matters in the Imperial Capital after the disaster." La Xia said, "That day, the eleven monsters summoned by Queen Mara still haven't been dealt with. No one knows where they went. Many people are worried that they're hiding under the Imperial Capital, and they're very nervous about it."

La Xia was referring to the eleven young demon dwellers.

They were all Legendary-tier and had the characteristic of being half-corporeal. Unless it was a weapon specialized in restraining them like the Sacred Sword, it would be very difficult for most people to defeat them.

As such, they naturally survived.

However, with the passing of Mara, their whereabouts were also unknown.

"Lady Yolin seems to be looking for them, wanting to settle things with them. She's been flying around in the sky. Her Highness Capeline has sent out the Broken Blade Knights and the Royal Knights to work with the Imperial Knights to do the same. However, Her Highness Capeline has also suffered quite a lot of injuries, and His Highness Harvey's condition isn't too good. Currently, the situation in the Imperial Capital isn't getting any better."

As Rong Xia reported, he lowered his eyelids.

"What's wrong?"

Shien quickly asked when he saw La Xia like this. He was tidying up his sleeves.

"… I'll first apologize to Mister Shien." La Xia was silent for a while, then said calmly, "Miss Lenny is missing."

Shien stopped what he was doing.

"Missing?" Shien frowned deeper and deeper. He looked at La Xia and asked, "What happened?"

"I'm not sure." La Xia shook her head and said calmly, "That day, Miss Lenny and I went out to help the Bigusler Family block the disaster. When we came back, Miss Lenny was gone."

Hearing this, Shien also fell silent.

But after a while, Shien's frown eased again.

"Forget it. Don't worry about her." Shien said, "Although the mystery surrounding her has yet to be solved, now is not the time to care about her."

Yes.

Now is not the time to care about other things.

Now, Shien was more concerned about another matter.

That was …

"My identity has been exposed, right?"

Shien voiced out the speculation in his mind.

"Yes." La Xia looked up and stared at Shien. "Everyone knows that Mister Shien is a hero."

Shien smiled bitterly.

As expected, this matter has been exposed.

Now this is going to be fun.

"The human world doesn't seem to be peaceful lately," La Xia said to Shien, "Mister Shien, you can go out and experience it for yourself."

"Alright." Shien sighed.

He knew that from today onwards, he would never have a day of peace.

He might even become a sinner of the world if he was not careful.

But he did not regret being too impulsive.

Or rather, Shien wished he could go back to the time when he confronted Mara.

"I should have attacked without holding anything back from the beginning and killed her."

Unfortunately, even if that was the case, Mara would have used a backup plan to achieve his goal, wouldn't he?

In short, the current situation might become very troublesome.

How should he face it?

What a headache …
