Chapter 361 - Chapter 361: Chapter 341 Testing and Teleportation (2/2)
“The Prince has ordered a retreat!”
Suddenly, Prince Noah, who hadn’t appeared before, ordered his army and the Extraordinary Exponents to withdraw.
The battle thus came to an end.
Aldrich too didn’t order a pursuit. Although none of the Monarch powerful experts had died, the regular Extraordinary beings and the army had suffered heavy casualties in the aftermath of the war.
After they returned to the military camp, Aldrich spoke:
“The battle just now was merely a probe, the real battle is yet to start.”
Byrne shook his head and said, “I believe a real battle won’t take place during the siege because it’s difficult for the current Adley Royal Family to make these great nobles fight desperately in a civil war.”
“If they keep attacking the city, they might not be able to take it for months.”
Aldrich nodded in agreement and said, “Indeed, Cyart people fighting against Cyart people, and under the orders of a new king at that… no one wants to be cannon fodder. During the Rhea war, each family suffered sacrifices and deaths; now they’ve learned their lesson.”
At that moment, a prophecy from the great Lord of the Lost suddenly emerged in Byrne’s mind!
“Hmm? Lord Aldrich, I’ll be back in a bit!”
Byrne exchanged a glance with the silent Chris, then immediately left the military camp and went directly to a deserted place in the city.
Aldrich was momentarily stunned, but he didn’t follow.
Byrne and Chris stood there, and the next moment, they were enveloped by black mist.
In the blink of an eye, they had crossed through the black mist to find themselves thousands of miles away in Nasir City!
The streets seemed to turn into a raging fire dragon, with terrifying flames wildly dancing in the darkness, illuminating every inch of land, as the flames, like a ferocious beast, devoured everything around them!
The air was thick with the scent of scorching, the unique odor of wood, fabric, and unknown materials being baked at high temperatures.
Byrne could feel the scalding heat on his face; even the wind seemed distorted by the fire, sweeping over every inch of his skin with blistering temperatures, as if intending to roast one’s soul.
“Marquis Vlad, or the Meyer family?”
On the streets, the faces of the people of Nasir City were contorted with fear as they screamed and ran, trying to escape the clutches of the flames. Yet, the fire, like a merciless demon, burned ever more fiercely, engulfing everything in its path.
Against the backdrop of the raging inferno, Marquis Vlad, known as the “Volcano Dragon,” stood like a phoenix undergoing rebirth, erected at the heart of the flames.
His figure flickered in and out of view amongst the fire, as if merging with the flames to become an indestructible monster.
“Eh? How is this possible, why are you here? There shouldn’t be any Monarch Level experts in Nasir City!”
Marquis Vlad was astounded, staring in disbelief at the suddenly appeared Byrne and Chris.
“Aha, we meet again, Marquis Vlad.”
Byrne laughed heartily, then said with utmost coldness, “We are messengers sent by the gods to kill you, our sudden appearance is part of a divine sign.”
“So, it’s quite normal that you can’t understand.”
“Hahahahahahaha!”
Unable to contain himself, Marquis Vlad burst into a wild laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
He draped himself in a black alchemy battle robe that flickered like flames under the light, giving him a blindingly brilliant appearance.
“Just the two of you?”
Within the flames, he sneered, like a king commanding fire, each step he took was upon the flames, as if the flames were his servants, obeying his every command.
“Byrne Fischer, have you forgotten your previous experience in my hands? How you were burned till your clothes were gone and you looked like a roasted fish?”
Byrne, composed as ever, remained expressionless and unfazed by the remark.
The next moment, Marquis Vlad’s hand tightly gripped a flaming longsword, seemingly filled with endless power!
With a light swing, the tip of the fire sword sliced through the air, bringing forth an incredibly hot blade of fire Sword Qi, instantly striking towards the two men.
“Fishermen from the East Coast of Nasir City! Traitors rebelling against the Royal Family! Hahahahahahaha! I want to see the extent of your power!”
