Chapter 108

The council asked the knights of the rounds to return from their duties to keep the castle safe. And to ensure security, they also hired dungeon explorers of mithril level and below to guard the castle.

With just one knight of rounds, it was enough to fight hundreds of people. And now all the knights of rounds were gathered in one place. There was no way anyone would dare to enter the castle.

But... an explosion occurred.

The explosion came from the main gate of the imperial palace. At the time of the explosion, Fleur initially thought it must have been an accident, but Alicia quickly dispelled that notion by revealing a suspicious person in the room. Plus, they were interrupted by a dying soldier who told them that the Noctem Dolls were responsible for the attack. Fleur clearly met one of Ivaylo's dolls. The Noctem Dolls were attacking the palace, and they would not stop until they had what they came for.

"Hurry up and find Ivaylo! He must still be in the palace! His target could be the queen, the king, or worse, the foreign ministers!" Fleur shouted.

"Or so they think," thought Ivaylo, who had predicted everything Fleur was thinking.

In the dark corridors of the palace, Ivaylo walked leisurely while carrying someone's corpse. The moonlight coming in through the large windows made a beautiful mix of blue, white, and blood colors. Ivaylo looked out the window; smoke billowing with huge red colored flames came out from the direction of the gate, and it made him unable to stop smiling,

"It's beautiful," Ivaylo said.

"Oya oya... You're right... I also like flashy explosions." Someone else was there, answering Ivaylo's question.

Ivaylo glanced at the source of the voice, which came from the corridor turned in front of him.

"Good evening, Leader of the Noctem Dolls, Ivaylo. It's nice to see you here. By the way… Do I need to introduce myself?"

"Fufu... No need. No one in this kingdom does not know your name, Your Highness, Leofric. But by the way, I heard that all princes have personal knights who look after their prince's security. But I've never seen yours,"

"Hmm! No need to worry. I alone have enough to consume all of my enemies."

Leofric arrived with Heit who was still in the human form beside him.

'Master... this guy...'

'Norttish... Their mana is much more numerous than the average person,'

"I've never fought a Norttish before. But from what I see, it looks like you only use small needles. Are you really able to fight against my big needles?"

After Leofric said that. Leofric raised his hand and said

"Heit, Revenite." As he muttered that. Heit glowed, then he turned into a small grain and formed the silhouette of a large spear in Leofric's hand.

The light seemed to shatter, and within the light was Leofric's lance, an Adfeqtus Reliqua.

"So, show me how you can be my good stepping stone," Leofric said.

Ivaylo smiled a little and threw the corpse he was holding forward.

It was a corpse wearing the knight of rounds armor. Which he seemed to defeat quickly without any significant fatigue.

"Is this enough? I heard that Rounds contain people who have abilities above mithril. So I should have the qualifications to be able to fight with you."

"Interesting... then I'll show you my seriousness..."

Outside...

When he heard the explosion, Allen was surprised that everything was in accordance with what Margaret had said.

"Everything that girl has said so far is true. The explosion was most likely an attack that was about to take place on the castle. Then during the attack, the ballroom would be closed. Going out at a time like that is a good thing. If I'm locked in there, I won't be able to get out; there are too many strong people inside, and those inside will probably be fine."

As Allen sat alone on the fountain, his mind wandered to Felicia. He couldn't help but wonder if she had returned yet. For all he knew, she could still be outside. His heart raced at the thought of her being alone and exposed to the dangers that lurked in the shadows.

"SH*T!" Determined to ensure her safety, Allen stood and chose to find Felicia first. After that, he would escort her to the room and go back to look for Leofric.

He ran as fast as he could to find Felicia. On his way to find Felicia, Allen stopped, something caught his attention. From a distance, he could see Leofric, the very man he despised, standing by the window. He was the one responsible for his mother's death, and the mere sight of him made Allen seethe with rage. In that moment, his mana overflowed, and before he knew it, he was consumed by uncontrollable anger.

"Leofric!" he roared as the fury within him took over.

As Allen stood there, his hand tightly clenched, blood oozing from his palm, The blood that came out was also black. He had once again accidentally activated his god blessing. His anger was all-consuming, and he had forgotten about his primary objective- to find Felicia. However, Allen somehow retained his presence of mind and refrained from lashing out openly.

Meanwhile, Leofric looked at the corpse of the knight of rounds in front of him and how Ivaylo didn't look tired. He concluded that the knight of rounds could be killed easily by Ivaylo.

"Looks like I won't have to hold back," Leofric said.

"I'm glad to hear that..." said Ivaylo, taking out a doll from his pocket. It was a doll that looked similar to Leofric.

"That doll looks ugly," said Leofric.

"Really? This is you. A doll that I made according to you, actually I quite like it. I feel like the great prince Leofric is in my hands."ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Your taste is terrible. There's no way a collection of cloth and thread can depict my majesty."

"It's a pity you don't like it... I thought that we could be good friends."

"I don't intend to befriend someone who will become a corpse."

'Master, you can't play games this time. Just finish him off right away; I have a bad feeling about him.'

'I can sense a bit of mana inside the doll. His god's blessing is likely related to the doll he made, and since he hasn't done anything yet, some conditions must are required to activate it, and probably he hasn't reached those conditions yet,' Leofric thought.

'In that case, I'll just eliminate that possibility.'

Leofric twisted his grip on Heit. He held Heit upside down this time.

'He turned the handle; I've never seen anyone use a lance upside down,' Ivaylo thought.

Leofric raised his lance and thrust it into the floor.

"Abare: Heit."

From Heit's body, a lot of tiny lights came out. The light did not produce a bright light, so it was most likely not just a light to explain.

Ivaylo held one of the lights.

"This feeling... This is not just an ordinary light," Ivaylo muttered. Then he thought,

'Heit's ability, Leofric's adfeqtus reliqua is to negate everything that comes into contact with his lance. I also thought it would be limited to that, but I didn't expect the rampage to be like this. At this rate... this guy won't be able to be defeated,'

As Ivaylo touched the light around him, he felt his mana was missing.

According to Ivaylo's conclusion, the people affected by the light would lose their ability to use mana. Which meant Heit's rampage skill was negating mana around her.

"This doll is no longer useful," said Ivaylo.

"Oyaa, you finally realize? This is an absolute victory. Without mana, you won't be able to do anything,"

"I'm impressed... But your highness... Do you know where we are now?"

"What do you mean?"

"We are right next to the ballroom, where everyone is currently gathered."

"So what? Do you want to threaten me with those people's lives? I don't care..."

"Of course I know about that... It's just that I feel bad about killing you in front of so many people like this,"

"What are you saying..."

"It feels too sad to make you die like that,"

A long and large spear of light appeared from behind Ivaylo.

' What a fool, you must think that the mana activated outside Heit's rampage range will affect me. You're underestimating Heit; she literally makes all the mana around her nonexistent. Every mana won't be able to reach me,' the spear disappeared right in front of Leofric.

But... the spear wasn't just one.

Little did he know, however, that a real spear was hiding behind it, ready to strike his chest.

The spear throw was strong and fast enough to pierce Leofric's chest. The force of the throw was so strong that it propelled Leofric backwards, slamming him into the sturdy door of the ballroom and obliterating it.

-TWANG

Pinned to the wall on the second floor, his body was in an unnatural position, and Leofric was motionless. The sound of the impact had startled the entire ballroom. When they looked up, they saw the once-mighty prince, now impaled on the wall.

Leofric's body was stuck on the wall of the ballroom. The left side of the second floor.

Allen went straight into the ballroom to check on Leofric. When Allen walked in, he was speechless. The sight before him was too much to bear. He fell to his knees, staring in disbelief. Leofric's body was motionless, and his eyes were blank.

'A-are you kidding me....'

ƥαṇdαηθνε| Allen's heart raced. Ever since he saw Leofric stab his mother, he has wanted to seek revenge on Leofric. The air in the ballroom felt thick and heavy as Allen struggled to catch his breath. His mind raced, trying to piece together what had happened. Had someone beaten him?

With Leofric lying lifeless in front of him, he knew that he could never have carried out such revenge. He became silent, not knowing where to vent his hatred anymore.
