The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

"It's been a long time, Dean." Dimirli bowed, patting his chest.

Leia looked at the Blue Lion Chieftain and nodded slightly.

"It's not that I've been waiting a long time, but I wonder what has caused the Prime Minister's delay?"

“Since this is a judgment on Tilissa’s crimes, how can the person involved not come forward? His Majesty has ordered me to bring this person here,” Kifka replied, head held high.

As he finished speaking, a sudden, distorted wave appeared in the air.

Jiuta appeared on the viewing platform, followed by several robed mages, and the person they were escorting was Tilisa.

She was bound by heavy chains, wore a silver crown, and all her magical energy was completely sealed.

"Master!" Felix called out loudly before Rhea could speak, his voice filled with anxiety.

However, Tilissa did not respond to his calls.

Leia frowned slightly, turned her gaze to Juta, and asked in a calm but questioning tone, "What does this mean?"

She sensed that this disciple was different from before, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Juta remained indifferent, as if he had done something completely ordinary: "For safety's sake, I have sealed her five senses. After all, a powerful person like her could pose a threat even with the slightest chance."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Leia's eyes, and her fingers tightened slightly, but she ultimately did not lash out on the spot.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and turned to look at Kifka: "Now that everyone is here, let's begin."

Kifka nodded and gestured for the soldiers to escort Tilisa to the center of the viewing platform.

Several attendants then quickly stepped forward and distributed the prepared documents to the representatives of all parties present.

"These are the evidences we have collected regarding Tilisa's collusion with the demons. Please take a look."

Leia took the document and glanced at it briefly, her brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

The "evidence" submitted now is very different from that in the initial negotiations. All the scattered and difficult-to-verify information has been removed, and only the accusation that Tilisa harmed the hero has been retained.

"After discovering Arios's identity as a hero, Tilisa conspired with the Sky Demon to carry out an attack, intending to disguise everything as an accident. However, she did not expect that the hero's strength had exceeded their expectations, and they forcibly turned the danger into safety."

"Even so, she still devised a plan to let the Undying and Sword Demons go. The Sky Demon, who should have been killed, was only imprisoned in the dungeon and sealed away under her careful arrangement."

"When Lord Arios was preparing to defeat the Demon God, he searched for the Holy Sword. Tilisa deliberately followed him, intending to seize the Holy Sword, and then killed the Hero when he finished his trial. If the Holy Sword had not possessed a spirit, it would probably have fallen into the hands of a villain," Kifka accused Tilisa of her crimes.

The two envoys looked at the evidence in their hands with a hint of amusement in their eyes.

Anyone who's in a position like theirs knows this whole process of framing and slander.

To convict someone with just a few thin sheets of paper is truly taking advantage of the fact that the college values ​​its reputation too much.

Because the image of the academy representative was so deeply ingrained in people's minds, even most of the kingdom's people reacted to the news with: "Has His Majesty made a mistake?"

Gobill closed the document in his hand and asked a seemingly unrelated question: "Lord Kifka, what is the Kingdom's opinion on the hero's appearance in Parebia Port and his defeat of the Sea Demon?"

“This is an imposter; the real Arios has already been brutally murdered by Tilisa.” Kifka was prepared for these attacks. “As for the defeat of the Sea Demon, His Majesty has sent people to investigate, and the results will be available soon.”

Berlant suddenly clapped his hands, a hint of sarcasm on his lips: "Lord Kifka spoke righteously, but he didn't get to the point. Where did this evidence come from? Is it credible? It can't just be one person's opinion, can it? If that's the case, I can also declare Lord Arios a citizen of the Empire."

Jiuta swept her gaze toward Berlant, and the fierceness and oppressive aura made Berlant feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and even his breathing became difficult.

“This evidence is what I obtained through a wishing spell. Even if you don’t believe me, Dean Leia should. If she proves my words false through the result of her wishing spell, I am willing to pay with my life.”

After speaking, Juta raised her hand and drew up a self-restraining magical contract, and used her mental power to engrave her name on it.

A chilling atmosphere suddenly filled the air.

The two envoys looked at each other, and dared not say another word.

A promise made by a ninth-tier emblem enshrined with his life is not something they can easily sway.

The two turned their attention to the academy, awaiting further developments.

"Could you please let Tilissa answer a few questions for me?" Leia asked.

“No,” Kifka immediately objected, his expression serious. “This man is extremely cunning. The Dean met his current fate precisely because he believed his slander. Whether it’s true or false, Lady Rhea can find out with her magic. Could it be that Lady Rhea believes this man more than she does herself?”

“It’s just a few words of confrontation, it’s not that important,” Dimili finally couldn’t help but say. “I believe in the Dean, she would never cover up anything on matters of principle.”

When Dimily first heard that Jessica's teacher had committed such a crime, he was also shocked.

However, from the arrest to the interrogation, Labbel did not allow him to participate in the entire process.

“Your Highness Dimir…sigh!” Kifka sighed with feigned helplessness, then waved his hand as if to compromise, but a glint of triumph flashed in his eyes.

Just as the court sorcerers were preparing to lift the seal on Tilisa, a sudden strong wind swept through the venue, and the sky darkened abruptly.

Everyone instinctively looked up and saw a huge ship floating in mid-air, blocking out the sunlight.

Just as the knights drew their swords in preparation, the Taoist figure leaped off the ship and crashed into the center of the hall with a loud bang.

Upon seeing the newcomer's face, someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise: "Arios!"

“We definitely need to have a confrontation,” he said, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on the bound Tilisa. “I heard you killed me?”

Chapter 581 Heavenly Gang Sword Formation

Since Tilisa's five senses had been sealed, she was obviously unable to respond, so Arios asked the questions of the kingdom's people on the stage.

An overwhelming, suffocating pressure pressed down relentlessly, and everyone felt the rage of this "hero."

"Dean, I have brought the Hero here." Jessica appeared beside Rhea.

The "Arios" confronting the other side of the field is clearly a manifestation of Venus.

With just a glance, Leia roughly guessed their plan.

“You’ve had a hard time,” Leia said gently, then turned to Kifka. “Have you been asking me about Arios’s whereabouts? Now that he’s here, you can say whatever you want to him.”

"Dean, do you really think you can get away with this by having someone impersonate you?!" Kifka was clearly annoyed.

"Noisy!"

Viner stood still, unleashing a sharp sword aura with one hand, easily piercing through the defensive magic armor worn by Kifka, and finally embedding it deeply into the wall, where it remained solid and did not dissipate.

"A sword emblem?" Everyone present was knowledgeable and could immediately recognize the unique power contained in this sword aura.

Even if voice, appearance and aura can be faked, where can you find another sword emblem holder?

Unbeknownst to them, Felix, who also possessed the sword emblem, was sitting in the audience.

“Next time it won’t be a warning,” Wiener said coldly.

"I merely set sail to find the Holy Sword, and was delayed for a while by the Sea Demons, yet some people spread rumors that I was dead. How true you are!"

Wiener turned his gaze to Juta, the only one who made him feel threatened. "Is it you?"

“It is I,” Juta said, her expression unchanged in the face of Vena’s questioning. “Whether it’s true or not, probably no one knows better than yourself. Impersonating Arios isn’t something that can be done with just a sword emblem.”

"You mean, I need to prove that I am myself?" Viner seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous. "Why don't you prove that you are not a demon first?"

The atmosphere immediately tensed up upon hearing this.

Gobill wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, trying to ease the situation: "Yes, Lady Juta, even Lady Rhea has acknowledged his identity, how could it be fake... Why don't we all stop here?"

"How about this, since Lord Juta doesn't believe he's a hero, why don't you use a wishing spell here to prove his identity? Don't worry, as long as you confirm that this Lord Arios is an imposter, he definitely won't escape the Holy Knights' net."

Berlant used all the same tactics the kingdom had previously used to coerce Rhea back into the fold.

He wished the two of them could be decided on the spot, and whoever lived would naturally be telling the truth.

"No need to rush."

With an indifferent expression, Juta raised his hand and waved it, and a pitch-black cage suddenly tore through space and appeared in front of Venus.

The prisoner was bound and sealed with layers of security, even more so than the prisoner of Tilisa.

"Heroes are called heroes because they are born with the ability to subdue demons. Since you call yourself a hero, then kill this demon for everyone to see."

The demands made by Jiuta seemed reasonable and flawless.

"I'm really being looked down upon."

A cold glint flashed in Viner's eyes, and the Seven Star Sword appeared in his hand the next moment.

Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed a sharp sword aura, heading straight for the cage.

The sturdy prison was easily torn apart by the sword energy, as if it were made of paper.

Just as the sword energy was about to strike the heavily bound undead demon, a sudden change occurred—the demon, who should have been unable to move, suddenly raised his arm and grabbed the sword energy with his bare hands!

A piercing screeching sound erupted in the air as the sword energy relentlessly tore at its flesh, splattering blood, yet it was unable to advance any further.

With a deafening explosion, the entire prison was torn to pieces, and the scene was in complete chaos.

"Hero, you failed?"

Whispers arose from the viewing platform.

"All personnel on high alert! Do not let the demon escape!"

The knights drew their swords and raised their shields, ready for battle.

"It's nothing, you think you can impersonate Arios?"

Karnos tucked his mangled right hand behind his back, trembling uncontrollably. "But I must thank you for helping me escape."

On the surface, it appears that Vena's sword strike cleaved the seal, releasing the Undead Demon.

However, a few people still saw through the trick.

The one who truly tampered with the seal was clearly the Kingdom.

"Jiuta, you—"

Just as Leia was about to accuse him, Karnos suddenly flashed away and broke through towards the direction of the Imperial delegation.

The guards below were all elite Paladins; once they were in formation, it wouldn't be able to leave even if it wanted to.

Karnos knew the difference between the St. Freya Academy's possession and the Kingdom's possession.

"Want to run?"

Let alone letting the opponent escape, even if the battle isn't resolved cleanly and efficiently, it's easy to doubt the authenticity of this "Arios".

Vina gripped the Seven Star Sword tightly, and the magic energy within her body instantly surged, causing thirty-five flying swords to suddenly appear behind her.

Although Karnos was fast, how could he outrun the sword light?

Just as it attempted to break through the encirclement, a dense array of swords blocked its path.

Sensing the threat, Karnos immediately changed direction and charged into the sky.

No matter how it dodged, the flying swords followed it relentlessly, making it impossible for Karnos to escape.

"This—" Karnos was greatly alarmed.

If it were an ordinary weapon, even if one were injured, it wouldn't matter if one charged out.

However, these flying swords were covered with a trace of the aura that the demons feared most.

Although it is faint, it will never admit its mistake.

Karnos turned to look at Venus, his face filled with disbelief: "The Holy Sword?"

"Knowing this, why don't you accept your fate?"

With a push off the ground, Vena's body soared into the air like an arrow, merging with the Seven Star Sword and completing the final piece of the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation.

In an instant, all thirty-six flying swords burst forth with dazzling golden light, each sword radiating a distinct sword intent.

These sword intents originate from the sword saints of past generations recorded in the holy sword. Each strand is incomparably sharp, as if thirty-six sword saints have personally come to the battlefield and joined forces to set up this giant sword prison.

The air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression; wherever the sword formation passed, space seemed to be torn apart.

Karnos was trapped inside, his demonic energy surging wildly, yet he could not withstand the overwhelming pressure.

No matter how much it struggles, it has nowhere to escape.

"cut!"

At Vena's command, countless sword shadows swept down like falling stars, heading straight for Karnos, intending to annihilate him completely with a single blow.

Only blinding golden light and deafening explosions remained between heaven and earth; the air was torn apart, and energy surged forth.

The entire viewing platform began to shake due to the strong impact, and people on the ground had to grab onto the surrounding buildings to keep their balance.
