Chapter 567 - Conquer Some, Destroy Some (2/2)

She opened her mouth to speak, but she felt her tongue go numb. Something restrained her. Other than “ah,” she couldn’t say anything else.

Link activated the Magician’s Hand, and Ariel’s World Impaler flew to him. Then he gave it to Milose. “Take it and stab Ariel’s chest in one move!”

Milose gaped. He reached out but didn’t dare accept the World Impaler. “No, I can’t. I can’t do that. I’ll die!”

If he did it, he would never be able to turn back and return to the Isle of Dawn.

Link scoffed. “Oh, so you can live if you don’t do it?”

Milose winced. He looked up at Link to see that his hand was already on his sword. He knew Link. He knew Link had top-tier swordsmanship and magic. With their close distance, Link could kill him and Elovan in an instant.

They wouldn’t even be able to fight back.

Should he die now?

Or kill Ariel, join Ferde, and fight for a chance to live?

It wasn’t even a choice.

Trembling, Milose took the World Impaler. Grasping it with both hands, he moved towards the struggling Ariel.

“Ah, ah, ah!”

Ariel screamed with her eyes wide open. Her movements were too big and opened her wound many times. Link was forced to heal her a bit so she wouldn’t die halfway through.

Finally, Milose got to Ariel and pressed the sword tip to her chest… Then he relaxed his hold. Due to gravity, the sharp sword pierced Ariel’s chest, nailing her to the ground.

Link recorded this entire process with a Memory Crystal.

After Milose was done, he said to Elovan, “You too. Stab her.”

Elovan had already given up. He was willing to do anything to live and was more resolute than Milose. He walked over, yanked out the World Impaler, aimed at Ariel’s heart, and stabbed down.

“Uh.” Ariel twitched violently. Grasping the sword hilt, she gaped at Elovan.

Now, she realized that her tongue wasn’t restrained anymore. She could speak. Voice rough, she said, “Why?”

It could be said that Milose had been forced, but Elovan had done it without hesitation. He’d decided on joining Ferde.

Elovan didn’t reply. He pulled out the World Impaler and turned to Milose. “Milose, I belong to Ferde now. What about you?”

The sword in Elovan’s hand dripped with blood as he spoke. It was as if he could kill Milose if needed too.

Milose had no way back. He stepped forward, grabbed the World Impaler, and raised it. He stabbed through Ariel’s forehead, nailing this talented High Elf princess to the ground.

Then he said, “Me too.”

He’d thought it through.

Technically, Milose was a half-elf. He knew that Ferde had a half-elf with a high position too. That guy was called Eliard.

Since Eliard could accomplish that, why couldn’t he? In Ferde, he had opportunities that he would never have in the Isle of Dawn!

Link chuckled. He waved, and the World Impaler jumped out of Ariel’s forehead. Her corpse ignited too. It burned to ashes in the fire and blew away with the wind.

Link could control Milose and Elovan, so he chose to take them in. Princess Ariel was a top talent. She hadn’t matured fully, but she would definitely become a terrifying Magician in the future.

Link wasn’t confident he could control someone like that, so he chose to destroy her.

He still had one more captive—the Naga, Katyusha.

He’d thought of a way to deal with her too. However, he didn’t have the needed method of control. For this, he had to return to Ferde and brainstorm with the core Magicians.

“Alright, my companions, let us return to Ferde. Once there, you must change your appearance and identity for safety.”

“Yes, Lord.”

Elovan and Milose saluted to Link.
