Chapter 36: Chapter 35: Voting

Yesterday, when Grandma Narda brought the black iron box, Karl felt an extremely special sense of danger coming from it, and it was also filled with a deadly lure.

But he soon discovered something; it was a fragment of some powerful mysterious rare artifact, not the core part imbued with Spiritual Power.

Not edible.

If all the parts and the core could be collected, one would obtain an artifact even more powerful than the transparent little bottle could compare with.

As the cavalry drew increasingly closer, Karl once again felt that exceptionally special sense of danger.

He suddenly realized that the cavalry commander was also carrying a fragment, perhaps the very reason everyone had been relentlessly chased all this time.

Karl used his will to transform the white light into a weapon and hurled it at the numerous enemies before him, with the Rhea baron commander occupying fully half of the white light.

The endless white light flashed incessantly in the sky, like swords descending onto the snowy field, landing on the bodies of half the enemy soldiers.

Irene and the few others who could witness this scene were involuntarily excited deep in their hearts.

They sensed something was about to happen, the great power of the Lord of the Lost was about to reveal itself to the world!

Baron Bourette suddenly became aware of an extremely intense sense of danger!

He didn’t understand what was happening, thinking it was a might enemy from another country attacking, and subconsciously went on alert.

The next moment, Baron Bourette suddenly found that the wall of fire was no longer contracting according to his thoughts. Instead, without warning, it gradually flew into the sky.

Everyone was stunned, hardly able to comprehend the miraculous event they were witnessing. The massive fireball incinerated the surrounding snowflakes in the sky, boasting even more heat than the wall of fire before, as if the fierce sun hung high in the sky!

“How is this possible!”

Baron Bourette couldn’t believe it, staring blankly into the sky; even though he could feel the heat of the flames around him, there was still a chill to the bone.

“Scatter!”

In the last moment, he could only bellow hysterically.

The enormous flames suddenly plummeted down, like the giant fist of a Sun God of destruction, and in an instant, swallowed up Baron Bourette and many cavalrymen together, even the snow on the ground was completely annihilated.

“Boom!”

The explosion shocked everyone, and then they saw a scene of dreadful devastation. At the very center, Baron Bourette was instantly charred, and even his noble ancient fire-type magic beast bloodline couldn’t give him a chance to survive.

The violent flames did not devour all the cavalrymen, and Karl, having expended almost every bit of his Spiritual Power, had only managed to mark half of the enemies.

A peculiar thing was that those not marked by the white light remained completely unharmed despite being close to the explosion. It was as if they were unbelievably lucky, or as if it was fated to be so!

“Retreat, retreat quickly! Leave this place!”

The remaining cavalry were in utter shock, their hearts almost completely filled with fear, believing that an “Monarch” level power from Cyart had suddenly arrived; their will to fight was utterly gone.

Without the enhancement of a magic array, ordinary soldiers, no matter how numerous, are hard-pressed to contend with a Level 3 “Monarch” level top exponent – that was common knowledge among all nations’ militaries.

When there is no “Monarch” level top exponent in the army, facing an enemy’s “Monarch” level Extraordinary Exponent, soldiers could decide to retreat based on judgment without any punishment from the higher-ups.

It’s an unwritten rule supported by all nations that helps preserve the overall strength.

If the two knights who could have taken over the command were still there, the terrified cavalry might have looked for an opportunity to regroup and return. However, both knights had already been lured away by Lucius.

Karl, watching the remaining cavalry retreat into the distance, felt a very familiar sense of dizziness, although his soul’s overall capacity wasn’t affected, his accumulated Spiritual Power was completely spent.

He last conveyed his will, coldly demanding Irene to retrieve the fragment carried by the cavalry commander, then fell into a brief slumber.

The people of Nasir stood dumbfounded at the scene, witnessing a miraculous event from the brink of death and hopelessness, their emotions tumultuously complex – a mixture of incredible stupor, confusion, and joy intertwined.

“Great Lord of the Lost, I am wholeheartedly grateful for Your merciful salvation and will fulfill and enact Your will.”

The girl’s black hair was now half pure white, but her eyes remained as bright as ever.
