Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

Night had fallen in the land of dreams.

As planned, Hikari and Qin Yu arrived at different locations.

Hikari infiltrated the luxurious residence. She came here for revenge, of course. She learned from the Eternal Queen that Morika was not dead, but had been taken in by the elders of her family and was hiding in this house.

Inside the house, apart from a few servants coming and going, there was no one else in sight.

Inside a room, Morika was sitting in front of a dressing table wearing a transparent lace nightgown. She was no longer an elven knight. Although she had been saved, she had lost all her power after being injured by Hikari, becoming a complete cripple. Her parents then handed her over to the elders to be used as a plaything.

"That old guy isn't coming again today..."

At first, the elder would still come to see her, but after a while, he got tired of it and rarely came anymore. Morika became the person she despised the most, and all of this was because of Hikari. If it weren't for that person, how could she have become like this?

She was now completely that elder's plaything. The day the elder no longer wanted her, she would be thrown out. The more she thought about it, the deeper her hatred for Hikari grew. She was completely unaware that all of this was because of her own actions...

Chapter 250 The Senate's Intentions

The current Morika is completely different from her former high spirits, a change that surprised Hikari.

Hikari saw Morika through the window and felt a pang of sadness. Morika had once been the second-best elf knight of her generation, but now she had fallen to this state.

But this was her own fault. If she hadn't repeatedly provoked her and kidnapped Nanaf, Hikari wouldn't have treated her this way. Besides, in the end, she spared Morika's life.

After sneaking into the house, Hikari quickly found Morika's room. When Hikari quietly opened the door, Morika did not react at all; she had indeed lost all her power.

As Morika stood up, she was suddenly struck by a familiar figure standing in the doorway. Her eyes widened in shock, the anger in them burning like the sun.

“Shi...K...Li…”

Morika gritted her teeth and uttered Hikari's name, then took a sharp knife from the drawer and prepared to slash at Hikari.

Hikari didn't even flinch at this level of attack. She simply reached out and grabbed Morika's arm, which was holding the knife. With a twist, the knife fell to the ground. Morika was completely unable to resist Hikari.

She could only extend her other hand and clench her fist to strike Hikari, but it was destined to be futile; her attack could not harm Hikari at all.

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

Morika's hands bled profusely as she relentlessly hammered Hikari, but Hikari did not stop her.

"If it weren't for you! I wouldn't be like this now! If it weren't for you! I would definitely be the strongest elven knight now! It's all because of you!"

Suddenly, Hikari grabbed Morika's fist and said calmly, "Haven't you ever reflected on your actions? Who is the real culprit behind all this? Me? Or yourself?"

"..."

Morika tried to free her hand, but with her current strength, it was impossible, and she could only let Hikari hold on.

"You can look down on me, laugh at me, curse me, I don't care. But you can't attack innocent people. If you hadn't kidnapped Nanaf, how could I have seriously injured you..."

"Isn't all of this caused by your own jealousy?"

Hikari's words struck a nerve with Morika. Morika was jealous of Hikari's talent, her strength, and that she had a true friend like Nanaf...

"It's all...my fault..."

Morika was completely bewildered. Hikari released her arm, and Morika suddenly sat down on the ground, covering her head with her hands.

Only when she had nothing did she begin to reflect on her past mistakes. Now, she has come to understand all the shameful things she did in the past.

"It's all my fault...it's all my fault..."

Morika covered her head, tears streaming down her face.

Hikari originally intended to end it all, but now, letting her live might be the best punishment, so she decided to leave through the window.

"and many more……"

Morika suddenly called out to Hikari, who stopped and wanted to hear Morika's voice.

What do you want to say?

"Hikkari, please, kill me..."

Sitting on the ground, Morika, who had lost all will to live, looked at Hikari, whom she used to hate the most, and pleaded.

"No, letting you live is the best punishment. If you really want to die, then end your own life. Otherwise, live on with your sins..."

Hikari jumped off the bed and left the house. As she left, she glanced back at Morika's window, where Morika was swaying and seemingly unsure of what to do.

Inside the room, Morika deactivated the house's fireproof array, overturned the candlesticks, and set the entire room ablaze. Due to the unique nature of the Utopia's architecture, which lacked a fireproof array, the flames spread rapidly.

In the distance, Hikari also saw the firelight, sighed, and prepared to leave to wait for Qin Yu to join her.

-

On the other side, Qin Yu was heading to the Senate of Ideal Land. He wanted to find the elder who supported the Morika family, kill him, and then lure all those guys to the palace to play along with the Eternal Queen.

There are thirty elders in the Senate, all of whom are at least at the seventh level, making it the most difficult for Qin Yu to infiltrate.

The elder Qin Yu was looking for was named Imokane, and he was ranked tenth.

The elder, of the eighth rank, is the most unscrupulous elder in the Senate, secretly keeping a group of forest elf girls like Morika.

Morika was just luckier because, due to her previous status as an elf knight, she had a separate place to live, and some of the forest elf girls were kept as pets in his home.

The Eternal Queen had long wanted to get rid of him, but because he was very close to the First Elder and was the First Elder's undisputed lackey, it was difficult for the Eternal Queen to touch him.

First Elder Gadriel is the Senate's asset in its struggle against the Eternal Queen. With him around, the Eternal Queen's functions are limited, and the Senate already has the intention of sidelining her.

So the Eternal Queen decided to play along, leaving on her own and incidentally finding the traitors in Utopia.

Taking advantage of the changing of the guard among the patrolling soldiers, Qin Yu sneaked into the Senate. He had originally planned to use the Shadow Step to infiltrate directly, but now he decided against it, as saving his two chances to save his life was the key.

"Still working so late, looks like something important has come up..."

Logically speaking, he should have been off work by now, but Imokane is still in the Senate, so there must be something important going on.

Sure enough, there were two figures talking in the conference room late at night. Qin Yu took a look with his analysis mode and saw that it was Gardrell and Imokane. These two old guys were definitely talking about something shady.

In the meeting room, Imokane was timid and submissive; in front of Gadreil, he was like a little brother.

"Jin Ye is about to come out. He has the Empress's deep trust, so we must find a way to get rid of him, otherwise he'll be a big problem..."

Gadriel wanted to gradually eliminate those trusted by the Eternal Queen, and then completely sideline her, turning her into a mere figurehead.

Now, the Golden Sword Saint is just the beginning, so he left Imokane behind to discuss the relevant matters.

However, Qin Yu didn't hear the whole plan; by the time he arrived, the two had already finished devising it.

Upon seeing Imokane emerge, Qin Yu locked onto him and, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, took his life.

He took out the gift the Undead Lord had given him before, a short sword imbued with the Undead Lord's power. With it, Qin Yu could directly unleash the Undead Lord's ultimate move: The Living Return to Nothingness, with a cooldown of twenty-four hours.

This is a powerful weapon, capable of instantly killing any creature below the ninth rank. Even a ninth-rank creature would be severely injured if it is not careful.

"The living shall return to nothingness, activate!"

The short sword, imbued with the Undead Lord's ultimate technique, emanated the aura of the dead and struck Imokhan. Imokhan sensed a powerful force approaching him, but by the time he reacted, it was too late...

Chapter 251 The Elf Queen Was Kidnapped

Imokhan was pierced by this powerful aura of the dead. He did not have the powerful life force that Qin Yu possessed. The living are reduced to nothingness. When a living person is hit by this move, their life force will rapidly deplete, causing them to age and die at an accelerated pace.

Imokhan could have lived for another hundred years, but now, all his muscles have atrophied, leaving only bones, which eventually crumble into dust...

The attack by the living to the point of nothingness naturally alarmed the other elders of the Senate, so they all came out to help, only to find Imokane's skeletal remains, beyond saving, as he was left to weather into ashes.

Gardrel looked around but found no intruders. Moreover, the aura he had just sensed was that of the undead. Could it be that a powerful undead had infiltrated Utopia and killed Imokane?

"Oh dear, it's not enough to just let him die like that..."

Qin Yu's voice echoed in the hall, and the elders looked at each other, unable to find the source of the voice.

Gardrel activated his domain and finally spotted Qin Yu, only to be met with a direct sword strike from Qin Yu.

"there!"

Having dodged the attack, Gadriel immediately launched a counterattack, joining the other elders in sealing off Qin Yu. Within the Senate, vines grew wildly, and Qin Yu's range of movement became increasingly limited.

"Slash through the air!"

The sword technique that shattered space swept across, clearing a path for Qin Yu, who flew straight out.

"Chase!"

Gardrel and the elders, not to be outdone, gave chase, and everything proceeded according to the Eternal Queen's plan.

Inside the palace, the Eternal Queen was preparing for the upcoming performance, while Nanaf flew around her.

"Your Majesty, what do you plan to do after you leave?"

Nanaf still couldn't quite understand the Eternal Queen's actions, since in her view the Eternal Queen was the true master of the Ideal World.

“Same as you,” the Eternal Queen replied, then stood up. “It’s almost time.”

In the distance, Qin Yu's figure was already approaching, followed by the elders of the Senate, making things quite lively.

"Eternal Protection!"

A golden defensive barrier was erected in the palace, a deception intended to fool the elders. Qin Yu raised the Heavenly Principle and slashed down through the air.

Snapped!

Amid the elders' astonishment, the Eternal Queen's barrier was shattered.

"how is this possible?"

The elders couldn't help but stop. How could this human so easily break the Eternal Queen's eternal protection...?

Gadriel already knew the human's identity: the one who was an enemy of their ideal world and had received the title of one of the new Four Sword Saints. So, the elf might have come along too.

Below, Hikari also appeared, along with the Flame Deer.

The spirit of rebellion appeared, and Hikari and Qin Yu rushed into the palace together.

"not good!"

The elders moved quickly and entered the palace together, where Qin Yu was already fighting the Eternal Empress.

Qin Yu and his afterimage both aimed their swords at the Eternal Queen, a strike powerful enough to deliver a fatal blow.

Swish!
