Chapter 256: War is Over (1/2)

The war was over. The Orion no longer exists.

The western continent reunited. And all of this happened because of one person. A young man who is a little over eighteen years old did all of this.

He is the one of the most important reasons in the start of the war. He is one of the key factors in weakening the country and he is also one who killed the emperor of Orion.

He did all of this because, the emperor wanted to kill him. All for revenge.

But his revenge brought catastrophic changes to many people.

Some of them are officials, some of them are soldiers, some of them are noble scions who lost their wealth and properties to their relatives because their parents are dead. People, who didn't want to get punished and tried to escape became war slaves.

But Sam didn't think much of this. Because, if these people wants to blame someone, they can only blame the Emperor himself.

After all, he repeatedly warned them, threatened them and explained to them, that if the empire goes against him, he would go against the empire too.

The empire didn't heed his advice and now they are paying the price. Many people cursed Sam to death in their hearts because their lives are affected. Many people became happier because they don't have to live in the corrupt empire anymore.

But some people are curious. How did the Emperor die?

The most curious of all are Vickers and Arc. Arc even saw the whole process, but he didn't understand it at all.

But Sam is no mood to explain at all.

As for how he did it. The four cylinders are made of Rank 7 materials of lowest grade. He used Arc's influence to buy them. Of course, he paid for it from his own pocket.

The four cylinders have the puppet controlling mechanisms he found inside them. He engraved the usage of the cylinders in an empty room of the mechanism and as for the thunder prison merging with these four cylinders, this is also a result of him engraving this formation inside the second room.

He used the flames to blind the senses, energy cells to create a small hole in his abdomen and at the same time, preventing from using any techniques and finally, he used the formation chains he found with the hydra skeletons. He merged it with the cage and the cylinders and used this to bind him.

He doesn't know the difference in strength between the Hydra and the Transcendent. But he does know that a transcendent is an insignificant being compared to a Hydra, so he was sure that it would work.

And soon enough, it was done.

He killed the emperor with his own hands.

He did so with his measly strength as Great realm cultivator. His avenged for himself. But the two other people who are in the Thunder God temple are still alive, but since they are minor characters and he doesn't have a way to enter the thunder god temple now, he will leave it for another day.

As of now, he has to clean up the mess. And the mess is not at all small.

After resting for a while, he walked towards Arc who is also resting with Vickers. Both of them are not talking at all.

Even though, their duel is not that big, the attack used by Arc is very strong that it consumed almost all of his energy.

Sam extended his hand for a hand shake, for which Arc reciprocated and said.

”With this, my end of the deal is completed. Now, it is all on you. I hope you wouldn't back down. I don't have enough patience to deal with another empire. At least, I don't have enough patience to be lenient like I have been all this while.”

A threat. Sam blatantly threatened him like this. Vickers was stunned and even Sam's friends didn't expect this.

Only Arc was still smiling.

”Of course, I will officially announce this in the Imperial capital of Arian in a few days. Take this as me officially inviting you for the ceremony.

The ceremony will be held in a month. By that, time I will give you what is due. It would be completely clean and everything that should belong to you will be given to you as well.”

After that, Sam and his friends left the place. They went to the imperial palace. The soldiers and officials of the Orion surrendered when their emperor had died.

Arc made a loud announcement while Sam entered the palace.

There are some officials from Arian coming inside to inspect and take the loot. But Arc's yell stopped them.

”No things, shall be touched inside the Imperial Capital. People of the Imperial Capital, those who reside here, please evacuate. You will be provided a same level of residence in the Imperial Palace of Arian. As for nobles, you will be investigated, evaluated and then be assigned with your new status…” He continued on with his speech. Sam entered the palace and looked around.

The officials arrested the princess Natalie and the Crown Prince along with the queen.
