Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 103 Twilight Moon, Come!

“I don’t know about others, but my grandfather is definitely yelling and cursing right now,” Tess sighed.

Caesar thought of Yumilia. The little elf must be very anxious right now, after all, she had been in such a dangerous situation.

I really do make her worry every few days.

"So hungry."

A girl in front of me clutched her stomach and said softly.

As soon as she said that, everyone around her started to feel their stomachs rumbling.
After all, I had been busy all morning and was about to have lunch when this happened, so I haven't been able to eat a single bite yet.

Judging from the appearance of these thugs, they don't seem willing to feed them.

Leon patted the girl in front of him on the shoulder, and she turned around. He took a cookie out of his pocket and handed it to her.

He grabbed these from the food counter earlier; he stuffed all the snacks from the counter into his pockets.

"Thank you!" the other person said with delight, and immediately started eating after thanking them.

Several eager gazes soon came from the surroundings.

Leon generously shared all the snacks with everyone, but with so many people, it still wasn't enough. So he broke the cookies in half and gave each person a little.

"Here you are, Latis."

"Thank you," Tess said softly.

“Here, Caesar.” He handed Caesar half a biscuit.

"Thanks, I'm not hungry."

"Hey, no need to be so polite with me." Leon generously stuffed the biscuit into his hand.

Leon gave all the cookies away, keeping none for himself, but he seemed quite happy about it.

The thug leader glanced at the children and snorted coldly.

“A group of pampered young masters and ladies are now dividing up even a single cookie.”

His gaze fell on Sia, who was sitting on the sofa.

"Hey, Princess of the Empire, I have something I'd like to ask you."

Xia looked at him.

"You really saw that emperor in the realm of gods?" The thug's tone was tinged with sarcasm.

Sia closed her eyes and said calmly, "All you need to know is that the legend of the crown being cast is true."

"But whether you have truly inherited that sacred artifact is still a matter of much speculation, since you haven't shown any magical talent whatsoever," the thug leader said.

Sia seemed to recall something, her gaze lowering slightly:

"Whatever you say."

The other person was silent for a moment, then asked, "If you really met Emperor Shengyuan, what did he say to you?"

This time, Xia remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "No, he didn't say anything to me."

"Hmph," the leader sneered, "As expected, you've been talking nonsense from the very beginning."

Xia pursed her lips and remained silent.

More than ten minutes passed, and the deadline was fast approaching, but there was still no news from outside.

The rioters were getting impatient.

"Damn it, if we don't make them pay a price, they'll think we're just playing house!"

The leader cursed angrily and stood up to stand in front of the students.

Everyone huddled together in fear.

He glanced around and then grabbed the Energy Minister's daughter, Celie.

"No! Please!" Celia burst into tears immediately.

"Wait a minute!" Xia immediately stood up, blocking his way, and said sternly, "I said you're not allowed to hurt anyone!"

"All I'm doing is intimidation, Princess. You said you'd cooperate with us," the leader said coldly. "Or do you really think the kingdom would let us kill students?"

"You," Xia gritted her teeth.

"Get out of the way, or if you piss me off, I won't care if you're still alive. At worst, everyone here will go with you to see the Holy Mother," the leader said.

Just as the stalemate was at hand, Caesar suddenly stood up and said, "How about we take me hostage first?"

"what?"

Everyone around was dumbfounded.

Leon quickly pulled him aside and whispered desperately, "What nonsense are you talking about? Sit down!"

"Where are you from?" the leader asked impatiently, trying to force him to sit down with his gun.

“My name is Caesar Thranduil. You should have heard of that surname, sir?” he said calmly, showing no fear as he faced the gun.

"An elf's surname?" the leader suddenly remembered.

“That’s right, I was adopted by an elf. Compared to the daughter of that high-ranking government official, what Finn is more worried about is the social pressure caused by racial issues, right? So wouldn’t it be more effective to use me?” Caesar said, his tone as casual as if he were discussing a price.

The leader stared at him for a moment, then released the tear-streaked Celia and said coldly to Caesar, "Come here yourself."

Ignoring the stares of the crowd, Caesar walked up to the rioters.
"You," Xia stared blankly at him, not understanding why this guy would suddenly step forward and take this risk.

But she saw Caesar wink at her without making a sound.

The leader roughly grabbed Caesar by the collar, dragged him to the window, yanked open the curtains, and pointed a pistol at his head.

"Report! The curtains at the target location are open! Thugs inside are holding a male student hostage at gunpoint!" the subordinate shouted as he rushed in.

Rhys immediately rushed out and arrived at the observation platform, where several mages were controlling the White Sparrow drones in the air. The footage transmitted from the White Sparrow spell drones showed that the other side was grabbing a boy and holding a gun to his temple.

"I gave you all the time I could, and where is Enred?!" he roared angrily.

Rhys immediately manipulated the microphone to fly out and spoke to him: "Enred and His Majesty the King are on their way. Until they arrive, you must ensure the safety of all the students!"

"Too late! Time has already passed!" the leader said with a sneer.

"The Kingdom of Fane ignored our demands, and you treated our threats as a joke! Now it's time for you to pay the price!"

"This will be the first drop of blood you shed for your crimes!"

He looked like he was about to shoot Caesar in the head.

“Where are the Royal Knights who broke in!” Rhys roared.

"All the entrances to the building have been sealed with magic, and the assault is still ongoing!"

"Damn it."

"Commander! The White Sparrow drone has locked onto the target! Wide field of view! Please issue the attack order!" a mage shouted.

But at that moment, Rhys hesitated. In that one second of hesitation, a White Sparrow drone suddenly opened fire.

The 12.7mm missile, after flashing only a streak of fire in the air, struck the leader behind Caesar squarely in the head.

Blood, mixed with limb tissue, splattered all over the ground, including Caesar, amplifying the terror in the eyes of all the students behind him.

The headless corpse fell straight down, but no one dared to utter a sound.
To Caesar's surprise, none of the thugs reacted much after their leader died; they all seemed to think it was no big deal.

"Damn it! Who fired the shot!" Rhys roared.

"Something's not right with the commander." No one answered his question, but instead pointed to the image on the screen.

On the screen, the corpse that had been shot in the head began to convulse, like a person having an epileptic seizure.
Then the severed neck began to wriggle and pop, and suddenly, a head emerged from the broken end.

At the same time, his body began to change; his skin turned dark purple and began to swell, his muscles bulged, and his veins stood out.

In a short time, the corpse transformed from a human into a lizard-like monster nearly three meters tall, with well-developed muscles and a thick tail.

Rhys's pupils contracted as he used the "Beast Demon Transformation Technique".

This technique, which has been banned for hundreds of years and involves exchanging life for power, has somehow appeared here.

Caesar immediately understood what the magical techniques he had just discovered were embedded in the bodies of these people.

The enormous beast-like demon stood up before him, making him appear so small in comparison, as if the demon had casually shrunk him.
Bang!
Amidst screams, the demonized thug leader swung his massive arm, slamming it down on Caesar.

His small body was sent flying several meters like a rag doll, crashing into the bar counter and the liquor cabinet.

All the bottles, along with the heavy liquor cabinet, crashed down on him. When he looked again, he was already lifeless.

Fresh blood mixed with bright red liquor spread out.

"Caesar!" Leon instinctively stood up, and immediately pointed his gun at him.

"Sit down!" the thugs shouted at them all.

The students held their breath, trembling all over. They never imagined that someone would actually die.

Sia stared at the collapsed liquor cabinet and Caesar lying lifeless inside. Her pupils contracted, and she opened her mouth as if to shout something, but no words came out.

"This is the price you pay," the demonized leader said into the microphone, his voice booming like a bell.

"Take all these brats to the top floor! Everyone get up!" he commanded.

Under the threat of gunfire, the students left the room. As they passed Caesar's corpse, many of them convulsed.
"You...you all..." Sia trembled all over, glaring angrily at the leader.

"Now you have no choice, Princess," the leader said coldly, flicking his tail to ensnare Sia.

"Moss, you stay here and set up the sealing spell," he instructed one of his subordinates.

"Yes."

Rhys gripped the table tightly with both hands and spoke in a deep voice into the walkie-talkie:

"The Freedom Front killed a student hostage, a male student."

Inside the room, Moss, who was staying behind to set up the sealing spell, suddenly heard a sound. He turned his head and saw that the heavy liquor cabinet at the bar was being lifted and pushed aside, and the small figure below slowly stood up.
Caesar, the student who had just died with his body broken, actually stood up at this moment, and there was no trace of wound on his body, only that his clothes were torn quite a bit.

"You!" Moss was shocked and immediately raised his gun, but in an instant, a golden blade pierced through his chest.

He collapsed to the ground, convulsing, and his body began to transform into a beast-like demon.

Just then, Caesar raised his hand, and the Book of the Illusory Sea appeared in his hand. The silver shackles on the cover opened, and the words "The Forest of Samba Milan" appeared on the cover.

Amidst the roar, countless enormous vines surged forth, instantly tearing apart the structure of the entire floor of the building.

The thugs who were transferring hostages above felt a tremor beneath their feet, followed by a massive vine shattering the floor and crashing down, completely altering the surrounding environment.

"what is that?"

Outside the building, the crowd below shouted in shock.

What you can see now is that a third of the building is covered by vines and branches, which are still growing, forming a kind of aerial jungle.

The environment has been completely altered, and all observation equipment has become ineffective.

Caesar looked at the constantly mutating beast-like creature in front of him and snorted.

"Twilight Moon!"

At the Holy Sword Tower of Saint Yaro Academy, the purplish-black holy sword seemed to be summoned by something, immediately transforming into a streak of light and shooting away, traversing most of the city, and rushing straight into the vine forest of the Century Building.

"Owner!!"

With an excited shout, Mu Yue instantly merged into Caesar's body.
