Chapter 816- End Of Duke Montford (2)

"Nothing much, since he was just another annoying obstacle blocking my way, I simply took care of him"…

"I-Is.. he alive?"…

"Dead"…

"That... can't be" Duke Montford, took a couple of steps back. The winds around his feet became unstable causing him to almost fall down.

"There is no way he can die. That child is strong, he is as talented as I am; no, even more. There is no way his fate is to fall down here. You are lying, how can he die from the likes of you? Besides, I also sent all of my most powerful men with him, that's right Benny Beckeman is alos with him. There is no way, he can be defeated"

Duke Montford stated, though his statement sounded more like yell and a self satisfying proclamation rather than anything else.

"It is up to your grace to believe me" In response, Cynthia simply shrugged her shoulders and replied "However, if you are as witty as they say, you will be abel to realise that I am more than capable of handling the like of Benny Beckerman. He was never a challenge for my forces to begin with. I not only defeated him, but I also took your grace's Air engine and am now using it to raid your city".

She explained with a cheeky smile "Oh! By the way, if you want to collect their corpses, you can find them in the Northern Outlaw Forest".

"You Dare!!"

killing intent flooded his body and Duke Montford was finally serious. The existence of Lucas Blackwood was like his reverse scale, anybody who touched it, would incur his wrath.

Although it has been kept secret from the whole world, a few individuals in the kingdom were still aware of the scandalous event regarding the wife of Marquess Blackwood and Duke Montofrd.

Duke Montford had no child of his own, his wife was unable to sire him any offspring. However, it didnlt mean that he didn't have any child, Lucas Blackwood or as it should be stated, Lucas Montford was the child that was born between Duke Montford and Marquess' Blackwood's wife.

An event that couldn't be spoken out loud. It was also because of this reason that Duke Montford favoured Lucas so much to the point where he even declared him as his successor.

Lucas dying meant that his one and only son dying. How could Duke Montford not be mad after hearing this? His rage caused him to completely forget that he was trying to buy time for prince Alstin who was probably trying to activate the teleportation formation installed in the emergency shelter at this moment.

In the state of rage, Duke Montford was a force to be reckoned with. His attacks carrying the destructive force of the wind and the highly trained skills of a warrior, was extremely berserk and powerful. It took all Cynthia had just to defend.

"[Illusory Beast Steps]"

From this, one could imagine how powerful the roar was. The actual target of the roar, Duke Montford was in a state multiple times worse than the rest of the people of the city. Not only did he fall down on the ground, the Zephyrus Armour disappeared from his body, and he was also bleeding from his seven orifices.

However, to mention those were comparatively just minor injuries. One cannot fathom the degree of damage he suffered simply by looking at hos outward body. The roar attack from the sacred beast was purely a non physical attack as such, it was the mind and interior of his body that suffered all of the damage.

His Eyes became dim losing all sight permanenetly, his mana lines had been disintegrated casuing him to unable to muster any mana and he was quickly losing all of the stats he worked hard all of his life for.

Like a balloon quickly deflating, Duke Montford was also quickly losing all of his strength.

Whoosh… Cynthia slowly flew over and stood in front of the duke who couldn't see anymore. With the damage he suffered, forget fighting, it would be a momentous task to even get up.

Cough… as if sensing her presence, Duke Montford tried to say something. However, all that came from his mouth was blood and foam.

"You have lost Duke Montford. On account that you have been loyal and faithful to the kingdom all this time, I have decided to end your life swiftly. Do you have any last wish before you die?"

Cynthia had given up convincing the duke to join his side, she knew that the man would never go back on his won words no matter what she said at this point. As such, it was better to take out a potential risk rather than letting him live and hamper her plans.

"Lo…n…" Duke Montford opened his mouth to speak something. However, much of it became garbled due to the blood that accumulated in his mouth every time he opened it.

"Lo..ng… Li..ve… the..Ki..ng..dom".

With those final words, even the slight twitching of Duke Montford's body stopped.

Back inside the underground chamber, in front of the huge mythril doors. Adventurers who had fallen unconscious from that roar, slowly regained consciousness and picked themselves up.

"Unngghh… dammit what happened?" they rubbed their still slightly dizzy head and groaned.

"My head feels heavy, what is going on?"…

"The heck I know, the last thing I remember is hitting those doors and then I suddenly fainted. Did somebody do anything?" Follow current novelenglish.net . s on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

The adventurers questioned one another, confused by the recent event.
