Inside an underground cellar at the edge of Dawn City, the son of the Grand Duke, the only heir, Reinholt, was found.
The heir was in a terrible state.
He didn't just suffer from harsh interrogation, he had many wounds on his body, the interrogator even used some kind of secret technique to inflict mental impact on the heir more than once.
But surprisingly, when the interrogator found the heir, he was conscious.
Although he looked dispirited, his mind was very clear.
"Gentlemen, can you help me inform the servants in the house?"
Reinholt, whose face was covered in blood, raised his head and looked at the secret agents holding torches.
Without further ado, the secret agents contacted the servants of the Dawn Family and even performed a simple treatment on the son of the Grand Duke.
Of course, a lot of probing words were spoken during the process.
"I can't tell you what happened.
It seems like I'm not being honest enough to all of you who saved my life.
But the situation that I'm facing forced me to do so, please forgive me. "
Reinholt said with a bitter smile.
Even though he was heavily injured and his breath was weak, Reinholt still presented an outstanding demeanor and together with his calm tone, it made the secret agents shut up one after another.
None of the secret agents were idiots.
They knew very well what they should know and what they should not know.
The secret agents were waiting in silence.
The servants of the Grand Duke's mansion came in a hurry and carried Reinholt away in a hurry.
When they returned to the Grand Duke of Dawn's mansion and placed Reinholt under heavy protection, the servants relaxed a little.
However, they still stood behind the middle-aged butler and stared at the best doctor in the family.
"Lord Reinholt's body is very good. Although there are a few places that are close to death, with Lord Reinholt's body and my potions, he will recover in a month."
The sudden increase in the doctor made everyone, including the middle-aged butler, heave a long breath of relief.
Then, everything returned back to normal — under Reinholt's order.
Even though the butler wanted to ask about the Grand Duke's whereabouts, he gave up when he saw Reinholt keeping his mouth shut.
"Have a rest first."
After saying that, the butler left the room.
Right away, Reinholt was left alone in the room.
After making sure no one was watching him, the son of the Grand Duke, the only heir, showed a delighted smile.
He did it!
Although some accidents happened and forced him to alter his original plan, he still succeeded in the end.
Not only did he eliminate a powerful competitor, but he also acquired a perfect body.
The rest …
It was the 'crown'!
Once Reinholt thought about the crown, the former Ansecord couldn't hold back his excitement.
However, he didn't forget his own plan.
Two Advanced Healing Potions appeared in Reinholt's hands. After consuming the potions, Reinholt's injuries, which the doctor had said would take a month to fully recover, began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Reinholt clenched his fists out of habit as his Stamina was replenished again.
"Although it's much weaker than when I was at my peak, as long as I can obtain the 'crown', it's worth it. Not to mention … this body has a potential that my original body could never hope to reach!"
Streaks of dazzling radiance bloomed in Reinholt's hand.
Reinholt smiled again as he felt the power of the Dawn Family's bloodline.
Perhaps such power was weak at the moment, but no one knew better than Reinholt how much this body could grow if given enough time.
"At that time …"
"I will have everything!"
Reinholt raised his arms high as if he was hugging his victory.
After four to five seconds, Reinholt finally broke free from his fantasy.
Without any hesitation, the new Grand Duke's successor rang the bell by the bedside.
"Sir, you have … Why are you standing up?"
"The doctor said that you need to rest …"
"Your injuries?"
The middle-aged butler looked at Reinholt in shock.
"I'm sorry for hiding it from you, but I need to do something that I need to hide from everyone. I hope you can understand."
Reinholt bowed to the middle-aged butler.
They had the same appearance and temperament.
Coupled with his humble and gentle demeanor, the middle-aged butler did not suspect anything.
Quite the contrary, the butler who only cared about the Dawn Family quickly asked, "Is there something important that you called me here for?"
"Leave it to me, don't worry!
I swear with my life that I will do it! "
The middle-aged butler said as if he was making a vow.
"It's because I know you will, that's why I'm entrusting this matter to you!
Please listen carefully. "
After a soft whisper, the middle-aged butler left the room with a heavy expression.
Reinholt smiled again as he looked at the butler's back. He touched his completely different face with his hand.
"As expected, 'identity' has unspeakable benefits!"
With such a sigh, Reinholt quietly left the Grand Duke of Dawn's mansion and headed straight for the Saint Cyanda imperial family.
Under Kieran's threat, the imperial family of Saint Cyanda mobilized all the available manpower.
The defense of the entire imperial palace was reduced to nothing and to Reinholt, it was like entering a no-man's land.
Let alone Extremus and the Burning Marquis.
Even if the imperial palace's security was 10 times tighter, it couldn't stop the two of them from entering.
The Burning Marquis was standing on top of a flight of stairs out in the open, not worried about being discovered.
Extremus, on the other hand, blended himself into the shadows.
Both of them were in different positions but their auras were faintly confronting each other.
Even Reinholt's appearance didn't change the stalemate.
"We are partners.
There's no need for such a tense situation. "
Reinholt said with a smile while facing the gaze of his two partners.
"You and I are partners.
But he isn't. "
The Burning Marquis glanced over at Extremus in disdain and said.
The Burning Marquis never had a good impression of those bugs that hid in the shadows, even though Extremus displayed extremely powerful assassination techniques when he ambushed the Grand Duke.
Bugs were bugs.
At most, they were just a little bigger.
In the eyes of the Burning Marquis, there was no difference.
Including Reinholt, of course.
If Reinholt was in his previous form, the Burning Marquis might have his guard up but now?
The strength that Reinholt displayed wasn't worth his attention anymore.
"You and I are partners.
He and I are partners as well.
So, we are partners. I can assure you that he and I are the same, neither of us are here for the crown!
What I need is a body, so I gave up my original powers for it.
"What he needs is the secret key to open Golden City's tomb.
Isn't it great that we each take what we need? "
Reinholt was showing his sincerity.
The Burning Marquis coldly grunted and didn't say anything else.
If it wasn't for his other thoughts towards the tomb in Golden City, he would have killed that disgusting bug right there and then.
Reinholt smiled again when he saw the Burning Marquis' reaction.
He knew that his words had an effect.
The Burning Marquis had completely taken the bait.
Without the Grand Duke's restraint, the Burning Marquis' ambition and desire had grown to an unimaginable level.
But wasn't it what Reinholt wanted?
An arrogant and conceited opponent who couldn't see reality was much better than a careful schemer hiding in the dark, right?
In this current dungeon world, there were only two people that he truly cared about.
One was the Grand Duke of Dawn.
The other was the Burning Marquis.
If it wasn't for the two of them, Reinholt would have completed all his plans and gotten the crown.
Of course, if it wasn't for the two of them, a small pawn like him wouldn't have the chance to enter this Unique Title dungeon world.
That bastard Broker had a lot of men watching over this dungeon world.
"But you wouldn't have thought that I could incite the Burning Marquis to ambush the Grand Duke right?
You are arrogant, conceited, you think you are the smartest, how could you understand the thoughts of a small fry like us?
That's why you couldn't see the resentment and despair of a suppressed person.
"As well as the 'joy' of regaining a new life once the suppression is released."
"Broker, you've miscalculated!"
"Wait for me!"
"I will go back!"
I will take everything that belongs to you and let you feel the humiliation that I suffered back then! "
Reinholt thought in his heart, the smile on his face getting more and more sincere.
He even said to the Burning Marquis in a half-joking manner.
"Lord Marquis, please follow me.
"Thanks to your eldest son, we are able to walk in the palace openly. Otherwise, it would have taken us a lot of effort to reach the old king's bedroom."
"My only firstborn son is Steinbeck."
2567 has been banished from the Burning Family. "
The Burning Marquis emphasized.
"Of course.
He has been banished.
"Even if he is acknowledged by Burning Dawn and becomes the heir, what is it to you?"
"Insignificant, not even worth mentioning."
Reinholt said in a half serious and half flattering manner.
From Reinholt's point of view, Kieran wasn't anything special.
Maybe his strength was decent, or maybe his luck was decent, causing him a certain amount of trouble, but in the end, Kieran would follow Reinholt's plan and chase after the most obvious' bait '.
Darde the Titan was one of the best among the Supernovas, which one of them wasn't worth a fortune? In addition to the 'kill reward' rule of the current dungeon world, no player would give up on the rewards without knowing the truth.
Let alone that greedy 2567.
After getting more detailed information about 2567 from Extremus, Reinholt set up the trap specifically for him.
It completely diverted Kieran's attention.
Now, Reinholt's only competitor was … Extremus.
He didn't even look at Extremus.
He didn't even have killing intent towards Extremus.
Reinholt knew what kind of background Extremus had, so he maintained his harmless look and led the way in a serious manner.
The three of them arrived at the bedroom of Saint Cyanda XI, or more precisely, the outside of the palace.
From the late years of Saint Cyanda V to the late years of Saint Cyanda XI.
Throughout the hundred years, the palace of Saint Cyanda Imperial Family didn't change at all.
It wasn't moved, nor was it renovated.
Even if it was damaged, it was maintained at the lowest level.
It was all because of the decree from the late years of Saint Cyanda V: any extravagance and waste were useless and would be condemned. Every descendant of the Saint Cyanda Imperial Family had to follow the simple tradition. The house was not to be rebuilt or renovated until it collapsed. Anyone who disobeyed the rule, even if it was the king, would lose his throne and be replaced by a sage.
Because of the decree, the palace of Saint Cyanda Imperial Family looked very simple and unadorned.
Strictly speaking, it could even be considered old and broken.
Of course, it was just the palace.
Starting from Saint Cyanda VII, the courtyard had become the acknowledged new tradition of Saint Cyanda Imperial Family.
"A hundred years ago, Saint Cyanda V must have never thought that after his death, not only did his heir go against his will, but even Burning Dawn was torn to pieces."
Reinholt looked at the mottled door of the palace before him, he exclaimed in a similar way as he pushed the door open and walked in.
Similar to the mottled door, the interior of the palace was also simple and unadorned.
Especially the bed that the king slept on day and night, it had been repaired countless times, causing it to lose its former splendor, it looked even worse than a normal well-off family's bed.
"Hurry up!"
Burning Marquis urged Reinholt who was sizing up the surroundings anxiously.
"Right away."
As the son of the Grand Duke spoke, he walked to the bed and lifted it up, revealing the stone floor.
Then, he turned his head to look at Extremus.
Without making a sound, Extremus tossed out a dead body.
It was the Grand Duke of Dawn's body.
There was an obvious dagger wound on his back.
However, the fatal wound was on his chest.
The Grand Duke's heart was crushed, even his blood was evaporated but surprisingly, the Grand Duke's skin, flesh, and bones weren't harmed at all.
Reinholt ignored the Grand Duke's widened eyes, his face was filled with rage and disbelief, he simply tossed the body on the floor and cut his palm with a dagger.
Scarlet red blood dripped down.
It flowed over the Grand Duke's body and on the floor.
It didn't flow according to the law of gravity, a formless energy bound the blood and drew a perfect circle on the floor.
"The same bloodline, the merciless heart."
"The former ally, the bone-deep betrayal."
"The dagger that hid in the shadows, the flame that burned the blood."
"The death of the body."
"Soul Roar."
"But …"
"Everything is useless."
"The heir will not return!"
"Will not return!"
…
A vicious chant came from Reinholt's mouth.
Inside the circle that was drawn with blood, runes started to appear one after another following the vicious chant.
At the same time, another notification popped up.
[Player Darde has been killed by Player 2567, death through authentication!]
…
Everything was as he expected.
The clear hint made Reinholt's voice even more lively.
The bloody runes on the floor were increasing.
When the Grand Duke's body started to melt, a tremor came from the ground.
"We did it!"
Reinholt said.
Extremus was already throwing himself at the Burning Marquis.
Reinholt followed closely behind.
The Burning Marquis laughed coldly at the two of them.
Until …
