When his heart was pulled out from his chest, Aïtantin VI didn't die on the spot.
The king displayed a vitality that far exceeded that of an ordinary person.
He wanted to reach out to his heart, but Bloody Mary didn't give him the chance.
Unfortunately, Bloody Mary didn't give him the chance. The moment its words subsided, it clenched its fist.
Pak!
An unusual noise later, the heart was crushed into minced meat.
Aïtantin VI's raised hand froze and then fell down, his breath swiftly losing its effect.
At the same time, Aïtantin VI, who already looked old, started to age at an exponential rate visible to the naked eye.
His skin, which was supposed to be shiny and elastic, was now like an old tree bark. His bloodshot eyes, which used to strike fear into people's hearts, started to wither.
In the blink of an eye, the eyeballs disappeared, leaving behind two pitch-black holes.
Then, Aïtantin VI's hair started to fall, the skin on his face loosening up, as if a piece of skin was attached to his skull.
Teeth fell on the ground one after another, the tongue inside his empty mouth was eroded by the wind, leaving only his throat as black as the eye sockets.
More pagans came out from the eye sockets and mouth.
Then, with a shake of his hand, Aïtantin VI's mummified body fell to the ground.
Bloody Mary looked at the scene quietly.
"It's just as Boss had predicted."
The Black Cataclysm didn't just involve Lady Calamity, there was also Aïtantin VI who could control pagans.
"What a surprise!"
Exclaiming in its heart, Bloody Mary thought of its boss' speculations.
In the era of Gods, the establishment of a kingdom was enough to raise eyebrows.
No one would believe it if someone said there wasn't any backing behind the scenes.
At first, Kieran thought it was the Silent Night Secret Order.
As a matter of fact, all the clues pointed to it.
From Aïtantin I until now, the Silent Night Secret Order had an ambiguous relationship with the Aïtantin royals.
On top of that, the confrontation between the God of War and Lady Calamity seemed to have proven it.
If there was no Black Calamity!
According to the initial speculation, the Black Cataclysm was a setup set up by the Aïtantin royal family and the Silent Night Secret Order for the God of War.
But what was the final result?
Lady Calamity had appeared.
The influence of the 'God of War' had to be reduced — at least on the surface, that was the case. However, the truth was that the faith of the 'God of War' was still prevalent in the North. It had not been reduced too much. Compared to before the 'Black Cataclysm', it was almost the same.
From this point of view, the 'War God's' losses weren't too great.
But don't forget about the demon hunters!
The organization that had been protecting the civilians from the 'pagans' was almost destroyed.
In this special battle, Lady Calamity was undoubtedly the biggest winner.
The 'War God' was neither losing nor winning.
The demon hunters, on the other hand, were the biggest losers. Basically, they had lost everything.
Was this what the Aïtantin royal family wanted to see in the first place?
Yes!
After all, Kieran had heard from more than one person that the demon hunters were after the Silent Night Secret Order.
In fact, from a certain perspective, the demon hunters were lured into the trap by the Silent Night Secret Order.
The relationship between the Aïtantin royal family and the Silent Night Secret Order was unclear. They could be seen as allies.
With this premise, Kieran came to a bold conclusion: the Aïtantin royal family wanted to eliminate the demon hunters!
With this conclusion, an interesting question popped up!
Why did the Aïtantin royal family want to eliminate the demon hunters?
What the demon hunters did, other than being a little eccentric, was harmless. Instead, it helped the Aïtantin royal family's rule over the Northern Continent.
There was no love for no reason in the world.
There was no hatred for no reason either.
What did the demon hunters usually do?
Other than training and drinking, they spent most of their time hunting.
Training would not make them hate.
Neither would drinking.
That left only the Demon Hunters!
The demon hunters who hunted the pagans didn't just hinder the Aïtantin royal family, they also made the Aïtantin royal family hate them from the bottom of their soul, to the point that they had no choice but to eliminate all the demon hunters.
The Aïtantin royal family was on the side of the pagans!
From the deduction, Kieran came up with such an answer.
Then, he thought of the pagans all over the Northern Continent and the whispers in one's ears, especially the latter, it was a very targeted whisper.
Clues after clues were added to the new answer.
In the end, Kieran came up with an even bolder deduction: did the Aïtantin royal family have a way to control the pagans?
Although it was a little hard to believe, after eliminating all the impossibilities, the remaining impossibilities became possible.
Then, he thought back to the founding of the kingdom of Aïtantin I.
It seemed like everything was reasonable now.
Therefore, when Kieran attended the banquet, he sent Bloody Mary to infiltrate the city beforehand.
He knew since Kieran invited him here, he must have absolute confidence. If he didn't prepare, he would fall into a passive position.
After all, this might very well be Broker's scheme.
A scheme that spanned from the era of Aïtantin I to the era of Aïtantin VI.
In simpler words, Broker planted a seed in the era of Aïtantin I. When the seed was harvested day after day, year after year, it was planted again and grew again. Finally, in the era of Aïtantin VI, the seed grew into a field and Broker came back to reap the harvest.
Based on the theory that the big city used to intercept time as a reference for the dungeon world, it was reasonable.
Therefore, Broker had his eyes on Pol.
Given Broker's former influence in the big city, it wasn't hard for him to achieve that.
The enemy wanted to create an army of pagans!
Similar to the robot army that he once controlled.
Of course, this' heretic 'army was stronger and more bizarre!
But now?
Bloody Mary looked at Pride.
That's right, the one who entered the room wasn't Kieran himself.
It was Pride who was very similar to Kieran.
When there was a way to avoid danger, why wouldn't he choose a safer way?
Bloody Mary couldn't refute its boss who suggested such a method, it was very envious.
It also wanted a safer way.
Unfortunately …
It sensed the power of the contract between itself and its boss.
It wisely chose to ask for an hour off.
Pride didn't know what Bloody Mary was thinking, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care about it. Apart from his elder brother and younger brothers, he wouldn't care about anything else. Although that guy was an important tool for his elder brother, Pride wouldn't change anything.
A friendly face?
Nonexistent.
Pride glanced at the tool and looked up at the evilness that filled the room.
It seemed like the room had a special function.
The pagans in the room couldn't leave.
They couldn't move freely either.
On top of that, the pagans were still in their kneeling posture, not affected by Edatine VI's death.
"Is this the restriction left by my elder brother's enemy?"
The cunning enemy obviously wouldn't be able to do anything about the situation. The enemy was similar to his elder brother, a vigilant person.
The enemy predicted the situation that would happen during the 'harvest'.
He also predicted that he would fail and that he wouldn't be able to wait for the 'harvest'.
The enemy wouldn't be willing to work for someone else.
Therefore, these seemingly obedient and easy to control pagans must have left behind a layer of insurance.
It wasn't on the pagans themselves.
It was in …
The source!
Pride looked at Aïtantin VI's body.
That special layer of defense didn't disappear with the king's death, it was still as sturdy as ever.
So, Pride looked at Bloody Mary.
"Me again?"
Bloody Mary raised its right hand and pointed at its nose, showing a reluctant look.
Pride didn't say anything, he just looked at Bloody Mary quietly.
A second later …
"Alright, alright."
I understand.
Who asked me to be in there? "
Bloody Mary raised its hands up in a surrender gesture.
It then started to check Aïtantin VI's body.
Soon enough, Bloody Mary found something.
It wasn't a personal item, but it was inside the body.
It wasn't because Bloody Mary was smart, it was too eye-catching!
The red radiance shone through Aïtantin VI's chest. Bloody Mary didn't even need to cut the body open, it could see it was a red gemstone the size of a pigeon's egg.
It should have been attached to the heart.
Now that the heart was weathered and without blood, it naturally revealed itself.
The gemstone was glimmering, as if it was breathing.
Under Bloody Mary's gaze, the gemstone floated up from the body and floated in front of Bloody Mary.
It was indescribably strange.
Even Bloody Mary felt its scalp go numb.
It wasn't the strange situation!
It was the power!
It could clearly sense that there was a strange power contained within the gem.
Bloody Mary looked at the red gemstone and then at Pride.
In the end, under Pride's gaze, it was forced to reach for the gemstone.
The moment its fingertip touched the gemstone —
Death arrived!
Tremendous power burst out from the red gemstone and crushed Bloody Mary into dust in a blink of an eye.
And!
Not just once!
Ten times!
Bloody Mary died ten times in less than two breaths of time. When it reappeared, its face wasn't just slightly pale.
It was immortal.
But not absolute.
This kind of special power mixed with the attack would consume a lot of its stamina and cause it quite a lot of pain.
"Recover a bit and continue."
Pride said.
The first half of the sentence was like the sound of heaven to Bloody Mary.
The second half?
Bloody Mary looked at Pride with a bitter face.
"Again?
I've died ten times already. "
It asked.
Pride didn't say anything. The answer was obvious.
He didn't believe his brother's opponent only set up a layer of insurance.
It was the truth.
After Bloody Mary rested ten times, which meant it had died a hundred times, the strange feeling that the red gemstone gave Pride was gone, even the layer of defense was gone.
However, Pride didn't touch the floating red gemstone.
He turned around and looked beside him.
Gluttony appeared, drooling.
The moment Gluttony appeared, he dashed towards the kneeling pagans impatiently.
"Eat slowly."
Pride looked at his youngest brother with a loving gaze and spoke softly.
Bloody Mary looked at Gluttony with an eager gaze.
Unfortunately, when Pride turned his head around, he had regained his arrogant expression.
"There's something wrong with it!
It should be a trap that doesn't work on us and only works on players. "
Pride was in a good mood when he saw Gluttony gobbling down the red gemstone, so he started to explain to Bloody Mary.
"I know."
Bloody Mary wasn't an idiot, it knew with Broker's methods, it was impossible for the red gemstone to not have a few hidden tricks up its sleeve.
Unfortunately, no matter how precious the red gemstone was, its boss wouldn't touch it.
After all, to its boss, an army of pagans was not as important as delicious food, especially when the food could provide him with power.
Bloody Mary asked after mourning for Broker in its heart for a few seconds.
"What should we do next?"
"Follow the plan."
Pride said.
…
Outside the small council hall.
Monte was standing there, sweat dripping down his forehead.
He already had the thought of running away, so he wouldn't stay for long.
But …
Monte couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Wang Shi's guards were staring at him.
It wasn't that he didn't want to run.
It was that he couldn't run.
Monte was sure if he dared to run, the guards would draw their swords and kill him.
'Damn it!
Can't you see the situation before you? '
Monte wailed in his heart, looking at Pol and Ash.
Ever since the Demon Hunter entered the small council hall, the attendants and guards of the two Demon Hunters had been standing straight and vigilant. From evening until the sky turned dark, the two of them didn't even change their posture.
However, the gaze in their eyes told Monte that the two of them were prepared for the worst.
Once they confirmed something, they would surely launch a violent attack.
It was very unfortunate.
Monte should be the first target.
Who asked him to be the weakest?
Holding him hostage and threatening Wang Shi's guards was no doubt the best choice.
But Monte knew it would be the worst decision.
Once he was held hostage …
Death would follow.
The royal guardians would kill him without a second thought.
'I don't want to die like this!
There must be a way!
There must be! '
Monte lowered his head and started to think.
Right at that moment …
Gak Tss!
The door of the small council hall opened.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
The royal guardians even tightened their grip on their weapons, slowly surrounding Pol and Ash.
They were waiting for His Majesty's order to chop them into pieces.
However, in the next instant, the guards were stunned.
Because the one who walked out was Kieran, the Demon Hunter.
More importantly, His Majesty was right beside the Demon Hunter, clutching the Demon Hunter's arm tightly. His old but dignified face was filled with guilt, and the rims of his bloodshot eyes were even redder.
It seemed like …
He cried?
The Demon Hunter, on the other hand, looked exhausted.
It seemed like he hadn't slept for a long time.
It also seemed like he was overwhelmed by some huge news and couldn't accept it, causing him to be mentally exhausted.
After a quick glance at their expressions, everyone who received the information was stunned.
What happened?
Everyone looked at each other, guessing in their heart.
Just when everyone was at a loss of what to do, they heard His Majesty's words.
"My child, you've suffered … I know … what you've endured … I'm doing this for your safety, that's why I had to ask your teacher … Him? It's fine, he's just a cover … You are … You have to treat this place as your home … I know it's hard for you to accept it in a short period of time, but … don't worry, I'm here. You can rely on me. "
Aïtantin VI's voice was soft and weak.
The people around him were listening to the intermittent voice.
However, the kindness on his face was never seen before.
It wasn't even in front of His Highness Svenson.
Immediately!
Everyone's heart was stirred up by the news.
Each and every one of them looked at the Snake School Demon Hunter with a frown.
Especially Monte.
The desperate A Close Official was overjoyed at this moment.
Not only did he not have to die, but he also seemed to have seen a leg that would allow him to live a carefree life in the future.
Without any hesitation.
Monte knelt down on one knee at the Snake School Demon Hunter.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
