Everyone in the audience stands eagerly awaited the emperor’s response.Mirianne and her family members looked a little anxious because the emperor’s word was final. If the emperor were to say that Ulmer needs to be punished, then nobody would be able to save him.At the same time, Ayana and her family members looked very worried. Ayana, in particular, had a frown on her face as she remembered Ulmer telling her that he entered the city on his own. And nobody questioned him because there was no disturbance in the barrier that surrounded Syslon.As many in the audience murmured to one another, the emperor, Dylan, took his time before saying, “He does have the permission to step foot in our empire.”Everyone went silent after that statement.Brianna frowned. (I wasn’t expecting him to say that. Does he know this guy in some fashion? Wait, the fact that Oscar supported him also makes things questionable. Just who the hell is he for SAC to be supporting him when it doesn’t look like it’s b

This wasn’t the first time Ulmer was rude toward the princess. And it astonished everyone again, even more so this time because mocking a royal was something that nobody with a working brain would do.Many people tried to look at the emperor and the other royals to see how they were reacting. As usual, Dylan didn’t show any emotion on his face.However, Regina was gnashing her teeth, thinking to herself. (She’s someone who’s going to become my daughter-in-law and will become the empress. How can this bastard badmouth her like this? He surely doesn’t deserve to live. Why does my father not punish that fool? Why is he just letting him talk like that to his own granddaughter right before his eyes? Just what are you thinking right now, Dad?)Ulmer, on the other hand, looked rather amused. He could tell that the audience were pretty upset by his words. “It’s so funny that you people are so sensitive toward useless things, but you still do not care about a poor man’s needs. A common man’s hu

“Mm?” Just then, Zebron’s ear flickered. His gaze locked toward the hole in the colosseum battleground. “Something’s coming.”“I don’t feel anything,” Rever said. “What is coming?”Zebron dashed forth and snuck through the emperor’s barrier just as a massive creature burst out of the hole and went straight after the princess who was floating above that giant hole.It was a colossal worm with thick, hard shells on its body.“I-Is that a dragonworm?!” The royal knights and the nobles were shocked because it was an extremely nasty creature that was known to eat almost anything from animals and humans to even metal and dirt.The dragonworm was very fast. Though Brianna was surprised, she was about to react to defend herself. However, someone else intervened.“Dragon Thrust!” Zebron thrust his sword and also swirled it through the air, which released a powerfully sharp shockwave that burst a hole through the midsection of the dragonworm, making it scream and writhe in pain.Its scream was

At the colosseum.Neodus was repeatedly punching a dragonworm like a maniac and took it to the sky with him, leaving many people astonished. His raw strength was what made him very popular among the ladies, and he was once again living up to his name.“Instead of focusing on helping people escape, he’s busy enjoying himself,” Dracarius said. “I don’t like him, but he’s someone I can’t make an enemy out of.”Dracarius’ High Knight, Nirvan, was fighting another dragonworm, albeit with Mobel the Armored Knight’s help. They received more help from others, though only Nirvan was able to injure the scary-tough beast. He had to be in the front and lead others. After he injured its scales, the others used that opportunity to damage the dragonworm as much as they could. Their tactic was simple, but because of a master fighter like Nirvan, it was still effective.Regina, on the other hand, was fighting a dragonworm alone. “Marionette.” She used her skill to stop the beast in its tracks.Her pin

Dozens of miles away from Ayana’s house.Ulmer’s clone and Alveron landed nearby a river. They were standing on either side of the river, staring at each other intensely.Ulmer’s clone had already seen Alveron’s attack once. He used his sword to create a destructive wind with just a mere swing of his sword. “You are certainly strong. You can erase a hill with but a swing of your sword.”“Why are you suddenly praising me now?” Alveron asked. “I’m not going to go easy on you or let your family go just because you try to suck up to me now.”“You know… not long ago… I was in love,” Ulmer’s clone said. “Whether my eyes were open or closed, I used to only see her face. I used to think about her before going to sleep every night. And she would be in my dreams, too. I believed that the entire world was a shitty place except for her. She felt like the reason for my birth. She was the only person I trusted in this world.”“What are you going on and on about with your untimely poetry?” Alveron a
