Li Ke's original plan was to feign ignorance and leave Noxus with some benefits that he didn't know if he could materialize. He didn't have the intention of finishing off Noxus immediately, but he never expected that the slave magic emblem on his hand would be activated by Darkwill. Furthermore, with Darkwill's words, it was basically certain that he wanted to use this to threaten him, telling him that they had a way to control him at any time. If he didn't do as they said, they would forcefully control him.
Although this was no different from a fool's dream, the mark on Li Ke's hand was only a specious object. It was the manifestation of his hatred and not the slave emblem that could control him. Being able to produce light through the ring was a miracle in itself. It was impossible to control Li Ke. However, their method of activating the mark infuriated Li Ke.
"I never expected you to pester me even in death …"
After killing Darkwill, Li Ke looked at the mark and scars on his hand that remained even after he changed his arm and felt wistful. This was because he knew too well what these scars and marks that couldn't be healed were.
It was his hatred.
He couldn't let go of that experience, so his power prevented the scars and marks from disappearing from his body. He also knew that as long as he let go of the hatred and disgust he had for that life, the scars on his body and the mark that was like a maggot in his bones would naturally disappear. But how could he forget that experience? He had been changed a long time ago. Even now, he still remembered every person he had killed and every scar they had inflicted on him.
Hatred was something that couldn't be forgotten.
He didn't know how the control of the mark on his hand reached their hands, nor did he know how they could use a mark that was no longer related to him to activate the mark on his body. But there was no doubt that it was a trap, a conspiracy. And even if Darkwill wasn't the mastermind, he was definitely involved and occupied an important position. After all, no matter how one looked at it, he was the only one who could benefit from this matter. And Darkwill had also threatened him in front of him and tried to control him. He even displayed his slave emblem.
Therefore, Li Ke didn't hesitate to end his arrogant life.
"Men! Capture the assassin! "
The person who planned on protecting Darkwill yelled in horror and called for the guards to capture the sword-wielding man. And the person who yelled couldn't figure out why the man would step into the hall with a sword. As for the three Noxus soldiers who had decided to dedicate their lives to Darkwill, allowing him to have a long lifespan, they roared angrily as they charged at Li Ke, hoping to slay the person who had killed their god.
Li Ke's method of dealing with them was very simple. He raised his left hand, and wisps of yellow sand gathered around him to form sharp yellow sand spears. These sand spears shot at the charging warriors and nailed them to the wall.
"I didn't intend to resolve your problem so quickly. After all, Noxus is just too massive. It's hard for me to clean up the mess after the fact, and the resulting trouble will be so much that it'll break me down … But since this has happened, I'm sorry to say that your lives that could have lived for a few more years will come to an end here."
Wisps of yellow sand floated up constantly and transformed into spears behind him that were aimed at the guests in the hall. And a portion of them hadn't recovered from the sudden death of their emperor, so all they could do was scream as they watched the sand spears constantly taking shape behind Li Ke's back. They tried their best to dodge, but most of those who reacted were dressed in military uniforms. They held all kinds of cutlery, tables, and stools as they looked warily at the spears beside Li Ke, ready to attack him at any moment. A few of them went overboard and even took out daggers and short blades from various places. They even used materials from the banquet to smear poison on the spot.
This was the bravery of the Noxus people. Most nobles were capable of fighting, and they could fight in any situation.
"Then, be buried along with your empire's demise!"
Even though they realized that something was amiss and that there was a conspiracy going on, they couldn't do anything about it. But all Li Ke could do was kill all the upper echelons of Noxus and quickly release the news to Pi City, getting them to send men to help him control the Noxus borders so that the situation wouldn't worsen.
He waved his hand and activated the sand spears on his back at the nobles at the front. And one of the nobles chosen by Li Ke was the pale man who cast a thirsty gaze at him. This fact made the pale-faced man reveal an awkward expression, because he really didn't want his uniqueness to be exposed here. After all, compared to Lefran who disappeared without a trace, he still left a lot of shadows and legends in the history of Noxus because of his unique ability. Therefore, when he faced those spears, he didn't try his best to dodge them like the people around him. Instead, he cooperated with Li Ke and collided with the sand spear that Li Ke threw at him. At the moment when the spear pierced his heart, he avoided his heart and then fell to the ground to play dead.
However, other than him, who was pretending to be dead, the other nobles had all died here.
"Damn it! Call for the guards! "
The nobles launched an orderly charge. But just as they were about to face the next wave of sand spears from Li Ke, all sorts of plants emerged from the bodies of the nobles who were pierced by the sand spears and pounced on them at lightning speed. The nobles had no choice but to stop their charge and think of ways to cut down the vines and branches that attacked them. They retreated while calling for the guards.
However, just as the guests and nobles were about to flee, something shocking happened.
The Pale Lady took off the mask on her face, allowing everyone to see that this lady who secretly controlled a lot of power and information was actually an inconspicuous little noble. Many people knew her name and how hardworking and mediocre this young lady named Nora was. But now, she raised a dagger and cast a vicious and ruthless spell. All the plants attacking them withered and dried up, no longer posing a threat to them.
On the other hand, the nobleman from an ancient noble family who should have been stabbed to death by Li Ke didn't have any plants emerging from his body. Instead, countless red lights emerged from his body and it was apparent that he didn't die in the first wave of attacks. It was just that the plants that emerged from his body made him unable to continue his disguise.
