405 The Destroyed Confidence (2/2)

Although with his strong willpower as a grand knight, Arthen still managed to stand still, he had no idea what to do. He did not know whether he should launch his attack or defend, or probably just be here waiting for the trial from the fake Beaulac.

Jocelyn, who was beside Arthen, murmured, ”This isn't Beaulac… He's not. No wonder all of a sudden he just became so confident and elegant, and so powerful…”

Hearing the praising, Arthen felt rather envious and pissed. He could not bear that Jocelyn had such affection for the fake Beaulac, and he even thought to himself whether Jocelyn was, in fact, hoping to see the fake Beaulac winning the title and the even the entire empire in the end!

Lots of negative emotions were boiling in his mind.

After destroying the demon, Greed, with the mild smile which made Sophia rather scared, Lucien walked to her.

”Sir, the distinguished sorcerer, we can join our hands. You can leave this underground palace safe and sound,” said Sophia with a sweet smile, which was also rather touching and delicate. However, at this time, a flash of joy very quickly passed in her eyes in a very unnoticeable manner.

Behind Lucien, the look on Arthen's face suddenly became very creepy. The blue veins under his forehead skin bulged and then quickly turned dark red.

”...!” Seeing the change happened to Arthen, Jocelyn's heart was filled with fear. But before she could cry out, a distorted, dark red vein stuck out from her throat.

Her beautiful eyes quickly dimmed. Her face was written with immeasurable shock and fear.

Arthen's smile became even scarier. The demon, Greed, was not that easy to be killed.

At this time, a cold light ray fiercely burst out from Lucien, who did not even turn around. And the ray hit Arthen directly with great accuracy.

A layer of ice crystal quickly covered his body, as if he had been put into an ice coffin.

The light reflected on the ice coffin was dazzling, but the light was rather cold as if it was capable of freezing one's soul.

What also froze was the smile on Sophia's face.

Very quickly the ice coffin melted down, together taking away Arthen's body, soul, as well as the projection of the demon, Greed, on him. After a few seconds, everything was gone.

Lucien knew from the very beginning that there was no way that Devouring Vortex and Demon Elegy could completely destroy one of the most mysterious demons. He was just luring the demon to find a new body. What could really kill the demon projection was the spell, Silent Ice Coffin.

Lucien's knowledge of the demon was all from the little crystal dragon, Alferris! He had to extend his sincere gratitude to the little dragon!

”Your Highness, was Frederick an uncontrollable monster?” Deniz knew what just happened to Arthen was a horrible sign.

And the rest of the nobles who were still alive also knew this.

Sophia's lips trembled. The way she looked could force a man to show great gentleness and mercy for her. The senior-rank sorcerer's power was beyond her imagination. In front of him, Sophia and Frederick power were like kids holding their toy sword. There was no way that they could fight back.

She did not respond to Deniz's question because of the fear. Again, she looked at the entrance, waiting for her the most powerful support.

Then her eyes instantly lit up like starts had fallen into her eyes, for she saw clearly that the one who she had been waiting for was standing right there.

Sir Metatron had arrived. Because of his age, he had white hair. Thin and tall, he was wearing a white shirt and a pair of fitting trousers and dark brown boots. He looked rather calm.

”Sir Metatron! A vicious sorcerer is here!”

Sophia cried and ran to the old knight as if she was a kid who had been bullied. She did not worry at all that the sorcerer would attack her from behind, for she knew that she was standing within the defense range of a level nine gold knight!

The corner of Metatron's lips curved up. A slightly painful smile was on his face.

Sophia finally saw her bright hope. Finally, everything could come to an end when Sir Metatron killed all her enemies here.

Suddenly, a familiar figure rushed in front of her, and then it was pierced through by a sharp, black thorn.

”…Deniz?”

Staring at Deniz's beautiful face, Sophia was confused. But when she looked up, fear completely seized her heart. The face of Sir Metatron, the Glorious Crown, was written with the most painful smile!

Surrounded by the black mist, the old knight stood there. In the black mist, there were many painful faces. She saw Andris's face, and also Duda's!

”Monster… Sir Metatron is also a monster now!”

That was the end… Sophia's breakdown point was there.

She burst out the bitter scream and collapsed to the ground. All of her elegance and calmness had gone. She even peed her pants.

Deniz tried his best looking back, and left his last words, ”Only you… treat me… like a sister…”

His eyes slowly closed, and his breathing stopped.

Sophia's tears ran out of her eyes out of control. They were the tears of sorrow, pain, despair, and regret. Together, these emotions formed a nightmare maze that she could no longer escape.

With the countless painful face, Metatron took a step back. His eyes had no focus.

Sophia cried out loud again and crawled back on the ground with her hands. Her mind could not take this anymore.

”Please…please help me…”

When she almost passed out, the figure that was wearing the black magic robe came to her. Gripping her last line of hope, she looked at Lucien and cried for help.

The young sorcerer was also looking at her, and he sighed,

”Greed…”
