Chapter 458: Chapter 434: Fischer’s Demon

Meanwhile, inside Fischer Manor.

In the Grand Hall underground, several devout people knelt beside a sacred object, praying day and night without stopping, while the black light inside a transparent bottle kept flashing.

At this moment, Karl silently realized the danger Darren was facing, and unlike the last time, the situation this time was entirely unresolvable if Darren were to face it alone.

“Hmm, what happened…”

He quickly understood the entire situation.

“So it turns out that a secret coup has taken place in Vallere without anyone knowing, hence the puppet king supported by the Lorne Empire was captured, and the long-missing old king has returned. Is the situation Darren is facing now an ambush at a banquet?”

Karl clearly sensed the whole situation, and although it seemed grim, it was actually not a big problem.

“It’s completely fine, my power just happens to be suited for this kind of situation where one is isolated and surrounded.”

——

Darren took a shallow breath, the power inside his body, no, it should be the power from the deepest part of his soul, was gradually fading, which was the effect of the barrier of Vallere’s capital. He was very aware of this.

The powers of both the old king of Vallere and the leader of the Reconstruction Army in front of him were at the middle rank of Monarch, undoubtedly making them formidable opponents.

Facing the heavy encirclement of the enemy, along with the city’s barrier weakening his power, although theoretically, the great Lord of the Lost should eventually prevail on his own, Darren was very aware that he should be nervous.

However, strangely enough, he didn’t seem to be very nervous, and he even felt a kind of pleasure emanating from the deepest part of his heart.

“Hehehe…”

The thrill of being trapped in a desperate situation was enough to drive one mad. In fact, over the past few years, Darren had been contemplating whether he was no longer as mad as he had been decades ago.

But now, he could completely confirm one thing.

He was indeed a madman!

The blonde woman stared at him calmly, then after a long while, continued speaking, “Perhaps an introduction is due. I am the leader of the Vallere Restoration Army, my name is Agata, and your ‘Black Tide’ probably never had any information about me.”

After introducing herself, Agata continued with wide eyes, “I’m sorry, Duke Fischer, although we have no personal grudges, our positions make us enemies.”

“In fact, I have already considered it, if I were to truly kill you here, it would surely be successful…but the people of Vallere in the city would suffer heavy casualties, so, respected Duke Darren Fischer, you also have a choice.”

She slowly stood up, bowed deeply, and said earnestly:

“Duke Darren Fischer, why not denounce the tyrannical Lorne Empire and pledge your allegiance to Emperor Jun Shen of the Seven Stars? That is your only way out.”

The old King of Vallere also nodded, not standing up, but similarly staring at Darren and said, “These years I have been in the north at the Seven Stars, always protected by that God of War, and I am very aware of his character. A strong person like you would definitely be highly valued if you surrender.”

Both of them had an uncontrollable look of reverence on their faces when they mentioned the God of War Emperor , even though they were also revered by countless Vallere citizens.

Darren listened and furrowed his brow, feeling an irritation rise within him.

How could this be?

He was already experiencing the thrill of a life-and-death battle, involuntarily indulging in the pleasure it brought.

And now this woman and that old man, two damned individuals, actually offered him a choice that somewhat alleviated his desperation, which was incredibly uncomfortable!

The pressure-filled atmosphere of a dire situation suddenly seemed to have room for maneuver, which was extremely annoying!

“Fine.”

He simply responded calmly, but in the next moment, he transformed in a double transformation without any hesitation!
