The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

“Besides, didn’t he leave me behind to protect you?” Tilisa explained.

Hearing this, Jessica remembered that the battle was not over yet, and her mood calmed down a little.

"So that's it..."

Only after realizing that Wiener wasn't deliberately avoiding her did she realize that it had been a long time since she had spent time alone with her teacher like this.

Jessica had so much to say to Tilissa, but the words caught in her throat as she couldn't help but ask Vena, "How...how did he cure me?"

“Suck it out little by little.” Tilisa looked at Jessica, a smile involuntarily spreading across her face.

“It’s not like I was bitten by a snake, why would I suck it out—” Jessica retorted instinctively, but then suddenly realized something and touched her lips.

"You should see for yourself," Tilisa said with a smile, transforming into the form of Nie Dian Zhe Na.

The smooth blade of the sword reflected the girl's face like a mirror.

Slightly swollen lips with a few red marks made Jessica understand what the so-called "extracting toxins" really meant, and shame instantly welled up in her heart.

"what--"

-----------------

"Viser and Knox, both lost?" A dark glint flashed in Vadya's eyes.

Having left a trace of power on the two demons, he immediately sensed their defeat.

Although the melee below the city walls was still fierce, with shouts of battle deafening, the outcome was no longer important.

Vadya sat up straight and gave a final command to the void, instructing the controlled soldiers to inflict casualties at all costs.

After doing all this, he stood up from his seat, put on his cloak, and prepared to leave, leaving the empty tent to the rebels.

Just then, the tent curtain was gently lifted, and a figure stepped into the tent.

"It's you."

Wadya squinted at Jeremy's sidekick.

No one is allowed to approach this large tent without his orders, and the fact that he is here already says a lot.

"Are you a member of the Lafner family, or the Holy Knights?"

Despite the fact that a traitor had appeared right under his nose, Vadya was not surprised.

From the very beginning, he felt that this lowly soldier named "Dofi" was no ordinary person, and deliberately kept him around to see what tricks he could come up with.

All of this is predicated on Vadia's confidence in victory.

Who would have thought that the demon, who was touted as a god and required a large number of emblem users to defeat, would be so easily defeated?

“Neither,” Viner shook his head. “If I had to say, it’s that I can’t stand people who collude with demons.”

Before he finished speaking, he had already drawn his sword and thrust it straight at Wadya.

This sword strike displayed the demeanor of a sword saint, completely locking onto Vadya's aura, preventing him from escaping no matter how he tried to dodge.

But just as the sword tip was about to touch Vadya's chest, Viner suddenly stopped.

"Didn't Jeremy tell you that I am the holder of the Puppet Chapter?"

Chapter 647 Vena: Escudo, make your move.

Every time Vadya activates his ability, he always dismisses those around him, creating the illusion that he is wary of others getting close.

However, this was just a disguise.

The Puppet Chapter granted him the ability to control all living beings, with the power increasing the closer the distance.

Once he gets within five meters, even a high-level emblem user at the Sword Saint realm would find it difficult to resist his erosion.

What Vadya truly feared were top-tier archers who could take lives from a distance.

That's why he completely stopped showing up on the battlefield after learning of Samif's existence.

"They actually dared to send a sword saint-level expert as an undercover agent."

Wadya sneered and snatched the Seven Star Sword from Vina's hand.

Curious about what was so special about this weapon belonging to the Sword Saint, he was shocked to find that as soon as he got his hands on it, a violent shockwave rushed through the blade, making Vadya's hand go numb.

Wadya, furious at the Seven Star Sword that had slipped from his grasp, kicked it away in a fit of rage, then drew his own sword and pressed it against Vina's chest.

"So what if you're a Sword Saint? You've still fallen into my hands! I'll take you back to the capital and use you to make up for this loss."

"I'm actually worth two demons?" Despite being in dire straits, Viner laughed instead.

This attitude made Vadya even more unhappy, even though he was the one who had the victory in the bag.

"The Grand Duke and these demons were only mutually beneficial. Once the plan is complete, they will all be the targets of elimination. We should thank you for being able to destroy them."

Wadya deliberately used these words to mock Wiener, showing that their efforts were in vain.

“But you still lost,” Vena retorted. “Edel will lead the allied forces to conquer the capital and take back everything she has.”

"you--"

This is the only point that Vadya cannot refute.

"Even if you escape back to the capital, how can you, after one defeat after another, stop the advance of the allied forces? When you openly use demon troops in front of the Holy Knights, you will surely face the judgment of the heroes."

"Enough!" Enraged, Vadya held his sword to Vena's neck. "What do you know? As long as Lord Lucien's plan succeeds, not only a hero, but even a demon god would be no match for him. The entire empire is nothing more than a stepping stone for Lord Lucien's plan."

“I don’t know where you get your confidence from.” Vina looked at Vadya coldly.

“So you don’t understand,” Vadya’s voice suddenly rose, “The master’s goal is to become a unique being—a new god who transcends this world!”

They are not pawns bound by rules like goddesses and demons, but true gods from a higher dimension who watch over everything.

This spot should have belonged to the victor among them.

Unfortunately, one gave up, while the other was sealed away for over a thousand years.

Since it's impossible to achieve either, the opportunity will naturally be given to those who are prepared.

Seeing the infatuated look in Vadya's eyes, Vina knew that asking any further questions would yield no new information, so he said, "Escud, make your move."

"Stop playing tricks. There's no way anyone's under my nose—" Vadya's words were cut off by a gunshot.

"Oh!"

The bullet from the Flame Blade Gun pierced through Vadya's forehead.

Before his expression could fade from its previous fervor, his gaze fixed on a girl who had suddenly appeared.

"How...is that possible?"

Wadya murmured a few words and collapsed with immense resentment.

"Master!" Escudo rushed forward and carefully examined Vina's body, only breathing a sigh of relief after confirming that he was unharmed.

With a gentle touch, she drew the Seven Star Sword, which had been kicked away, back into her palm, and then presented it to Vina with both hands.

"Well done, little E." Viner sheathed his sword and patted little E's head in praise.

"How dare he threaten his master? He's getting off too easy."

Little E glared fiercely at Vadya's corpse.

"If we didn't do it this way, how could we get him to reveal so much information?"

Wiener never argued with the dead.

After learning that Vadya possessed the Puppet Chapter, he handed the Flame Blade Gun to Escudo, instructing her to act according to the circumstances.

Even if the opponent can control demons with the power of the emblem, they can only suffer defeat when facing the Holy Sword.

Wadya was still flesh and blood after all, and a single bullet from the Flame Blade Gun would be enough to take its life.

"I have finally eliminated the enemy for my master."

Even though he himself is a weapon, he uses the weapon given to him by Vena to eliminate the enemy.

It was a novel experience for Escudo as well.

Seeing that she was so fond of the Flame Blade Gun, Venere said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"Really?" Escudo could hardly contain his elation.

“When have I ever lied to you?” Viner chuckled.

He wasn't worried about handing the weapon over to Escudo, after all, his weapon was still Escudo's weapon.

When the time comes, would Xiao Ai really refuse to return it?

"time to go."

Only after the other party carefully put away the Flame Blade Gun did Venere speak up to remind him.

Escudo transformed back into the form of the Holy Ring and wrapped around Vena's hand.

The next second, his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint spatial fluctuation.

......

"Lord Jeremy, Lord Jeremy!" Viner called out as he ran.

"Where have you been!" Jeremy's tense expression relaxed slightly when he saw Vina return, but his tone was still reproachful.

“We’ll talk about the punishment later. Guess what I saw!” Vena gasped for breath, pretending to be exhausted from running.

"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me," Jeremy urged.

“I saw the Hero!” Vina paused for a moment. “The snow and ice over there are all traces of the Hero.”

"How can you be sure he's a hero?" Jeremy didn't believe him immediately.

"When I arrived, their battle was almost over. One of them called the other Arios, and the other called the Corpse Demon. In the end, the one called the Corpse Demon turned into a red stone."

Vena explained rapidly, "I think who else but a hero could defeat the demon?"

Jeremy pondered for a moment.

Since the name Arios came from the other party's mouth, the matter of the hero is most likely true.

"Come with me, we'll go and report the news of the hero's appearance to Vadya."

"it is good!"

The two hurried back to the camp, only to find it empty and deserted.

Even the soldiers who were originally stationed there rushed to the front line because of Vadya's last order, and the entire camp was eerily quiet.

Jeremy didn't have time to think and rushed into the main tent, where he saw Vadya sitting back in a chair with his back to him.

"Vadiya, I have important intelligence to report!"

Jeremy spoke as he strode forward, but froze the moment he got close.

The head coach, Vadya, had a large hole about the thickness of a finger in his eyebrow, and had long since lost all signs of life.

Chapter 648 On the Escape

"this--"

Jeremy's eyes widened, clearly still unable to accept that a dignified imperial general had died so quietly within the camp.

Vina followed suit, feigning shock: "Lord Vadya?!"

He reached out and touched the wound on Vadia's forehead. "This doesn't look like a mark left by an ordinary weapon. Could it be the work of a demon?"

"It is indeed possible."

Considering the unique nature of the Puppet Chapter, Jeremy didn't think anyone could kill Vadia without anyone noticing.

But if it's a demon, it might be able to resist the power of Vadia's emblem.

"Then let's go find the Hero and ask him to help us investigate—"

"Nonsense!" Jeremy scolded. "Don't you understand? Arios is in cahoots with the rebels! Are you going to walk right into their trap?!"
