Even though it was still late at night, the sky above Fallen Eagle City was as bright as day.
The raging flames devoured everything in the city, and even the weeds within a few hundred meters of the city were scorched yellow by the terrifying heat.
* Boom! *
The tightly shut city gates suddenly opened, and a group of knights charged out of the city. However, before they could escape the sea of fire, the sudden flames devoured them along with their horses.
The knights who were still breathing struggled in the sea of fire, letting out ear-piercing screams that sent chills down one's spine. Moments later, the smell of roasted meat filled the air.
* Boom! *
A section of the city wall finally collapsed under the scorching flames. However, even as the scorching smoke gradually subsided, no one was seen rushing out of the city.
The entire Fallen Eagle City had turned into a burning furnace, but what was being tempered inside was not steel, but living people!
The endless cries of agony had completely stopped at some point, and the countless lives that were being roasted into charcoal in the furnace seemed to have condensed into green smoke floating in the air.
These wisps of green smoke were being driven by some unknown force, and they were gathering at the center of Fallen Eagle City.
There, a green pillar of light descended from the sky like a gigantic transparent barrier, protecting the Oman family's castle.
It was only here that there was the aura of living people.
Valla opened his mouth wide, trying his best to take in a breath of air, but the burning in his chest did not ease at all. Instead, it seemed to be burning even more fiercely.
While the green barrier blocked out the flames, it could not block out the suffocating air and the terrifying heat that could cook a person alive.
Valla could hear a sizzling sound under his feet with every step he took, and the intense pain made him lose consciousness.
In fact, if Valla had not been turned into a blood kin and had terrifying self-healing abilities, he would have died long ago.
Even if his frightening self-regenerative ability would only bring more suffering to Valla, he did not give up and continued to stride toward the castle with determined steps.
At the top of the castle, the figure in magician's robes held a staff in one hand and an eyeball in the other, loudly chanting an elven incantation.
Thick green smoke enveloped his body and formed a huge green cocoon on top of his head. The surface of the green cocoon trembled as Mr. Chang chanted, as if something terrifying was about to break out of its shell.
Sizzle!
Valla reached out to grab the wall of the castle, the scorching heat instantly scorching his palm black. However, he didn't seem to feel it at all as he continued to climb upwards.
At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind.
Revenge!
He wanted to take revenge for the three hundred thousand innocent citizens of Fallen Eagle City!
Driven by vengeance, Vhalla seemed to have forgotten pain and fear. All she wanted to do was twist the head of that evil mage on the top of the castle!
However, the closer she got to the smoke-shrouded silhouette, the more Valla felt a frightening pressure. Mister Feng's not-so-tall figure seemed to have turned into some ancient behemoth, and under the overwhelming pressure, Valla felt as if she was an ant trying to challenge the gods.
However, the ant didn't stop.
He was getting closer and closer.
Mister Feng didn't seem to notice Valla's approach at all as he continued to chant his incantation.
Valla couldn't understand elvish, and only felt that the foreign syllables were like venomous snakes drilling into her heart, trying to evoke the fear in the depths of her heart.
* Clang! *
Valla drew out her knight's sword, the blade already turning red from the scorching flames.
Just as she was about to launch her final charge, she suddenly noticed from the corner of her eyes that another figure was climbing up from the other side of the roof.
That person was completely covered in armor, but Valla felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from that person, as if … they were her own kind.
While the two knights were still in a daze, Mr. Chang's incantation seemed to have reached the final stage. He suddenly raised his left hand and crushed the strange eyeball. He shouted, "Let's go!"
"Duke Of St. Hilde, receive your judgment!"
* Boom! *
A bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky, as if it was tearing the sky apart in an instant.
The lightning struck the green cocoon on Mr. Chang's head, and an incomparably dazzling light exploded.
Valla only felt that her vision had turned completely white, and then she couldn't see anything anymore.
However, she was delighted instead of shocked, and immediately realized that this was the best chance for revenge.
Although she couldn't see anything, Valla still charged out according to the direction in her memory.
Colin, who was controlling the blood thrall, also realized that he couldn't see anything, but he still heard Valla's voice, and quickly controlled the blood thrall's body to charge out as well.
When the blinding light gradually faded, Colin finally saw a blurry image in front of his eyes.
"Ahhh!!!"
Valla's blood-curdling screams rang in his ears, and Colin focused his gaze to see Valla rolling on the roof while holding half of her face.
Mister Chang was also in a terrible state. His entire right arm had been cut off at the base, and fresh blood splattered all over the roof, corroding the thick limestone into wisps of green smoke.
Colin immediately guessed that Valla must have cut off Mr. Chang's right arm, but was burned by the blood that splattered out.
At this moment, the green cocoon on Mr. Chang's head had already transformed into a giant eye that was tightly shut. Although it didn't open, Colin had a feeling that something extremely terrifying would happen the moment it opened.
Colin hurriedly controlled the blood thrall to swing its sword at Mr. Chang's neck.
At this moment, Mr. Chang's right arm had been cut off, and his left arm was raised high above his head, as if supporting the giant eye. It seemed that his spell wasn't complete yet. Facing the longsword that swung at him again, a hint of despair appeared in Mr. Chang's eyes.
However, the longsword stopped at the last moment.
That was because Colin suddenly remembered what Mr. Chang had shouted in the common language earlier.
The Duke Of St. Hilde?
Judgement?
That was why he hesitated.
* Boom! *
Another bolt of lightning flashed, and Colin's vision turned white once again. In that instant, it was as if he had completely lost contact with the blood thrall.
When he could see the situation in Fallen Eagle City clearly again, Colin was shocked to discover that the giant green eye above Mr. Chang's head had already disappeared, and he didn't know where it had gone.
"Hahahaha …"
Mr. Chang looked up at the sky and finally laughed wildly.
He then turned his head to look at the blood thrall that Colin was controlling. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he didn't stop chanting at all.
* Boom! *
Colin only saw a flash of fire in front of his eyes, and then he was completely enveloped by darkness.
"Colin, Colin, what's wrong?"
When he came back to his senses, he saw Vera looking at him with a worried expression.
"I'm fine." Colin smiled as he patted his beloved wife's hand. He then tried to contact the blood thrall in Fallen Eagle City, but he didn't get any response.
It seemed that Mr. Chang had killed it.
However, he didn't regret it. Instead, he immediately looked for the Duke Of St. Hilde in the banquet hall.
Almost at the same time, the Duke Of St. Hilde also looked at Colin and said with a smile, "It's getting late. Shouldn't we announce the end of the banquet so that the two newlyweds can spend the night together?"
Everyone in the banquet hall burst into laughter and nodded in agreement.
Colin also laughed and said, "Your Excellency, please announce the end of the banquet."
"Okay." The Duke Of St. Hilde nodded and said, "Thank you all …"
Suddenly, the sound in the banquet hall disappeared.
Everyone saw the Duke Of St. Hilde's mouth opening and closing, but they couldn't hear anything.
It was as if he had been dragged into another time and space by some mysterious force, and only an illusory projection was left in his original place.
Colin's heart trembled, and he immediately held Vera's hand tightly.
Then, he felt a gaze above his head.
It was a gaze that seemed to be projected from a higher level of life, and it had a terrifying power that made him shudder.
Colin subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Although there were layers of obstacles, he could still see the familiar huge green eye, which was suspended above the Red Fortress at this time.
In the next moment, the green eye opened.
Colin's vision was once again white, and he couldn't see anything.
At this moment, his vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch had all disappeared. It was as if he had also been banished to a pale and empty space, and he was completely disconnected from the world.
It felt as if only a moment had passed, but it also felt as if thousands of years had passed. Colin finally felt Vera's warmth again, and he could smell the familiar fragrance in his nose.
He greedily took a deep breath, and then looked at the Duke Of St. Hilde with a lingering fear.
"Colin, Colin, what happened just now?" Vera hugged Colin's arm tightly, and she sounded panicked.
Colin did not answer. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Duke Of St. Hilde.
Vera turned her head in confusion, and then she saw a horrifying scene.
Under the green light that descended from the sky, Saint Hilde seemed to have been frozen in place for an instant. Then, he fell to the ground with his head facing upwards.
Bang!
The green light dissipated, and the former King of the Northern Frontier shattered into pieces like a stone statue.
There was no blood, no splashing of flesh and bones, but only gravel all over the ground.
"Ah!!!"
A sharp scream immediately sounded in the banquet hall.
