Clyfford and his companions quickly headed toward Century City, while Jerald and a few of his loyal soldiers stayed behind to search the sea.Jerald was quite high above the water, at least a hundred meters. He ordered four or five of his personal guards to search closely along the water's surface, while he himself didn't dare to go down.He was still afraid that someone might suddenly emerge from the water.At that moment, a figure swiftly emerged from behind the island's loft and headed directly toward Jerald.Jerald turned his head and saw Lucifer flying over with a fierce expression. He frowned.Jerald waved his hand, and four or five of his personal guards, along with himself, quickly surrounded Lucifer."Lord Hardy, those people have already left. Do you really think Isaac will die?" Lucifer asked, looking at Jerald with a serious expression."Do you really think you have the strength to take me on?" Jerald narrowed his eyes, and spiritual energy surged rapidly around him.
At this moment, Hera shook her head frantically and pointed to the nearby loft.Seeing that Lucifer didn't understand, Hera grabbed his hand anxiously and quickly wrote two words in his palm: "Danger, safe."Lucifer understood what she meant: the more dangerous the place, the safer it was."Then I'll head to Century City to get the medicine. You all go to the loft first," said Lucifer, as he turned and flew toward Century City.Hera cried as she continuously rubbed Isaac's hands and feet to warm them up and get his blood flowing.Isaac struggled to lift his right hand and gently wiped the tears from Hera's face. In a weak voice, he said, "Why are you crying? I'm still here."At that moment, Isaac remembered when he was in the Novafur Realm beneath the Emerald Hall. He had been seriously injured back then as well, and it was Hera who kept him warm and protected him with her body heat.Not long after, a large ship arrived at sea, and many soldiers from the general's mansion disemb
Later, Isaac took Hera and Lucifer along with him. They quickly flew toward the direction of the city lord's mansion, leaving Pandora Island behind.As the sun set in the west, the sky was painted red with flaming clouds. In the loft, Jerald sat next to the stone table while holding a glass of wine. Nearby, several graceful young women were singing and dancing.Recently, Jerald successfully cooperated with Eldorado, the advisor, and the Regent in capturing Isaac. As a result, Eldorado had ordered that he be transferred to the Royal City general's mansion to serve as the deputy general of the military.Compared to the current city lord, Jerald had effectively risen two levels in rank consecutively. He would be heading to the Royal City to assume his new position tomorrow, so he was in a great mood.At that moment, several figures appeared in the sky rapidly. The guards standing nearby noticed this and immediately took to the air to stop the three figures.A golden flash appeared in
"Do you think you can go if I don't allow you to?" The smile on Isaac's face vanished instantly.Jerald's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately nodded. "Alright, got it. I'll contact Princess Skylar right away."Not long after, Jerald quickly walked in from outside and knelt on one knee before Isaac. "Lord Drakon, Princess Skylar and her entourage have already arrived in Harrenville.""Where is that?""Harrenville is still 570 miles from Royal City. On the way, you just have to go through Karpland and Skypeace City before reaching Royal City."Isaac furrowed his brow and asked in a serious tone, "How far is it from here to Karpland?""If the Lord Drakon flies over, it will take one day; if traveling black eagle, it will take two days.""Send a message to Princess Skylar immediately, tell her to wait in Karpland. I'm heading there now," Isaac said, getting up and casting a glance at Hera and Lucifer."Don't go to Royal City. Immediately take a few guards and escort these two
Isaac was stunned; he saw the disappointment in Skylar's eyes and hadn't expected her to say something like that all of a sudden."Of course, I'll go with you, but not right now. And you can't go now either!" Isaac said with a frown."Why?" Skylar stood up and walked straight toward Isaac while staring at him with a questioning look."The people you have with you, along with your current strength, are no match for Nathanael and his team."Isaac realized that Skylar currently had the strength of the early stage of the Deity Phase, just like he did back then!She might be feeling really good and strong right now because she hadn't faced off against Clyfford and his team.Skylar stared directly at Isaac, then laughed coldly while waving her hand. "I understand. You can leave now.""What?""There's no need to say anything more. Just treat it as if I had been blind!" Skylar's voice trembled slightly as she pointed toward the door.Isaac paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and
"Your Majesty, I have thoroughly investigated. There is no trace of Isaac among the entourage of Princess Skylar. However, there is news from Century City that Lord Hardy has suddenly gone missing."Nathanael frowned slightly and then sighed. "As long as Isaac isn't here, today will be her death day. Jerald is no big deal; if he's missing, he shouldn't come to work in Royal City."At this moment, angry shouts echoed all around Royal City."Attention, everyone clear the area."Groups of black-armored cavalry, wielding long swords, galloped through the streets.The peasant and shopkeepers did not know what was going on. They hurriedly turned around and went inside, shutting their doors tightly behind them in fear.Some curious people were crouching down and peeking through the gaps in the loft windows to see what was happening outside.For a time, the entire Royal City was in a state of panic.At this moment, Skylar was already riding a white eagle and flying into the Royal City.
Skylar felt the terrifying energy emanating from the two people in front of her. With a furious shout, an overwhelming surge of purple spiritual energy shot skyward.As Skylar let out an angry roar, the city lords behind her also shouted fiercely and unleashed their full power, launching an attack on Clyfford and Matthias.A gigantic bird, formed from purple spiritual energy, spread its wings and swooped down to attack the two people.Clyfford and Matthias attacked simultaneously, and two powerful waves of spiritual energy surged toward the giant purple bird.A deafening boom echoed through the air, and a terrifying shockwave spread in all directions.Several nearby city lords were blown away and began falling rapidly downward.Skylar was forced to retreat in the air before she could stabilize herself. Her blood was surging, and she looked at the two people in midair on the opposite side with astonishment.At this moment, Clyfford waved his hand, and hundreds of Blood-Clad Guard
At this moment, the sword in Nathanael's hand, now enveloped in spiritual energy, flew out of his grasp and shot toward Skylar's abdomen.The long sword plunged into Skylar's lower right abdomen, and intense pain spread throughout her body.Skylar looked up at the sky as her body fell straight downward.She gazed at the sky, with the setting sun burning like fire. In her mind, her father's smiling face appeared. She closed her eyes, and a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth as tears rolled down her cheeks. She murmured, "Father, I will be with you soon."There were no unexpected events; 20 city lords were killed on the spot, and the remaining 40 were all captured alive.Before Skylar hit the ground, Clyfford caught her and then tied her up with a spiritual energy-suppressing rope.More than half of the over one hundred Blood-Clad Guards were killed or wounded, but this outcome made the remaining 40,000 soldiers too afraid to move.Nathanael and Clyfford stood together on
