The time to kill with a borrowed knife was over. Since we knew Spade's plan, I immediately left for the Northern Territory, and disguised myself as Kevin's Master with the help of a [Transformation Card] I bought from the system. With the help of Daphne, I had already spread the rumor that Daphne had asked her fiancee to call his master to help the Edmund family. I had also properly instructed Edmund about the addition of a person who would be able to help us in our mission. Thus, when I showed up disguised as Kevin's Master, no one suspected a thing. Only Edmund and Daphne were aware that I was a fake, someone I hired, because my face resembled Kevin's master exactly. It was a funny situation, and I have no intention of telling them that it was me. As for how I got the appearance description of Kevin's Master to use for my Transformation card, it was simple, because I wasn't sitting and swatting flies here in Steeline Territory. In these last ten years, I had dug out any possi
What happened in the Northern Territory couldn't remain hidden for long. Word-of-mouth helped spread the news even further, especially about the people in the spotlight, and soon it had spread throughout the Kingdom, piqueing the interest of a number of Nobles. Two male members of the Count Azalea family of the Northern Territory, who were among the first to get the news, also couldn't help but gossip about it. "Did you hear that? Daphne's fiancée's master, is helping Marquis Edmund Spades?" "I have, and I also know that he has contributed a lot in the recent situation." "I know, they say his strength is almost at the level of a Peak grandmaster, and from what I heard, he wasn't alone; he had multiple master level comrades in black robes and masks, who were obeying his order as live slavs." "For real?" "100%" And when they discussed and realized the strength of the people involved, who were the Key players in these battles, they were shocked. ... Royal Capital, Imperial City
The news that had spread throughout the Kingdom was hidden from the ears of Dawn, especially the First Order's Kael.In fact, from the moment I spread news about Daphne's fiancée's master being a grandmaster, I knew it would have reached his ears.But since he didn't know my location, he might have decided to wait so that when I myself came out of hiding, he could attack me.In addition, because I was now out in the open, I was aware of his attention from the moment I attacked the first city with Edmund."But he is still waiting..."I believed that he would first examine the pattern in which I attacked cities under the main Spade line, then dispatch some individuals to keep an eye on me, while simultaneously using his spies embedded within Edmund's family to try to find some news about me to judge my strength.And then, once he was satisfied that he knew everything, he would launch an assault on me.To this point, everything appeared to go according to plan, and whenever Edmund and I
Moving in such a way that I blended in with the darkness of the night, I came up behind the guard who was moving in my direction, and before he could respond to the sudden appearance of my presence,Splurt!I emerged from the shadows below him and stabbed him in the face from below his chin, with the tip of my sword emerging from his skull.Slick!Since I didn't have much time, I drew back my sword and moved quickly, slipping between the guards to kill them all in one blow.And by the time the last guard saw the cold corpses of his comrades,Stab!Thud!His body also fell as my sword stabbed him from behind.Phew!Due to the extreme cold, my breath was visible as I exhaled deeply, flicked my sword to shake off the blood, and charged along the walls toward the castle's rear, where my slaves were also just done and waiting for me."Is everything clear?" I asked. They nodded in obedience. "Yes, boss, there were some guards, but we dealt with them cleanly. Even they didn't think someone
With renewed determination, I launched a ferocious counterattack, channeling my aura into my sword and shooting slashes of aura, engaging in a long-range assault with Elias.Waves of energy surged forth from my blade, piercing through the air with deadly precision.Elias, momentarily caught off guard, staggered backward, the demonic aura around him faltering.But I held back, subtly limiting my own strength.It was crucial to make Elias believe he had the upper hand. A strategy hidden within the chaos of battle, a plan that would ultimately lead to the dawnfall of the whole Spades and Dawn."Die, rotten Roman."Clang!As our swords clashed once again, the tension between us reached its peak.There was a palpable sense of tension in the air as the outcome hung in the balance. With each clash, Elias continued to 'wear' me down, as I was skillfully feigning weakness while conserving my true power.Then, with a sudden burst of energy, I allowed Elias' powerful blow to strike me, purposefu
Elias's shock turned to a deep sense of fear as the members of the Church of Light surrounded him."Impossible! How could you be here so quickly?!" Elias shouted, his expression pale as if he had seen a ghost.Even though he knew deep down in his heart that people from the church were going to show up, he didn't even consider the possibility that they were going to show up so quickly.In fact, his thoughts weren't actually surprising because in every previous battle, the church only came after at the very end of the battle, and so most probably Elias must have thought that as long as he could stop the advancement of the army, kill me before them, or don't allow the information about him to leak, he would be safe from the church.Little did he know that the people of the church were already on standby every time, waiting for the battle inside to be over, so that the demon worshippers inside could appear.And the only reason they waited outside was so that their presence couldn't be ass
Flames erupted, devouring everything in their path, while billowing smoke darkened the sky. Chaos and panic engulfed everyone as countless people screamed and scattered in a desperate attempt to find safety.But all this had nothing to do with me, because my mind was continually alerting me.Run!This situation was dangerous, and if I couldn't escape in time, I would have some serious chances of getting buried here.That was why the only thing I could do for the people of the church, was to shout,"Run everyone! Run." And after that, without hesitation, I activated "Shadow Steps," and ran like there was no tomorrow without looking back, swiftly maneuvering through the chaos, desperately seeking a way to escape the cataclysmic destruction. My heart was pounding in my chest, my head was trying to figure out the cause and effect of the situation, and adrenaline was coursing through my veins as I leaped over debris and avoided falling structures.Amidst the devastation, I caught glimps
After landing safely in the jungle about two minutes later, the Amber Sphere around me disappeared automatically, and with a final look, back at the city's direction, where I could see only deep and huge black clouds of smoke coming from, I turned around and ran towards the location where Edmund was waiting for me.While I was in the Amber Sphere, I had already communicated with Edmund and asked him about the location where he was with his people. I was going there."Fortunately, I ordered Edmund earlier to leave the city, or he would have died too."As I emerged from the jungle and approached the road, I soon noticed a few carriages waiting for me, one of which contained an injured Edmund who was receiving care from his subordinates. "Mr. Roman! Here." Shouted Edmund and waved his hands, after noticing my presence as soon as I appeared on the road."Comming!" As soon as I approached them, the subordinate also arrived and began bandaging my wounds. The subordinate, who started ban
