The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

She raised her hand to indicate to the bishop that there was no need to say more. She stretched her body, which had not been active for a long time, and patted her hand lightly. Her life force spread in all directions, enveloping the entire Sun City.

Through her life senses, Maginus locked onto a familiar life force. The murderer she had previously found was now holding Sophia hostage and confronting a group of police officers in broad daylight. Judging from the magic and negative energy emanating from him, he was already a novice necromancer.

Not only police officers, but also some professionals who had mastered special powers were present. These professionals didn't seem to be protecting Sophia; instead, they planned to kill the necromancer along with her.

With a twist of her neck, Maginus jumped a few times, leaving footprints in the soil, and instantly disappeared from the bishop's sight, who breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

After all, how could a god possibly make a mistake when he intervenes?

"Halt! I have a pastor from the Radiant Sun Church in my hand. Do you dare lay a hand on him?"

The man, whom many residents regarded as a philanthropist, now stood in front of the deserted orphanage with a sinister expression. He held Sophia in one arm and gripped her fragile neck with the other, as if he could snap it at any moment.

Sofia was breathing heavily, her fear making her breathe faster, but she maintained a strong expression on her face and did not cry or make a fuss. The sheriff, Mostowal, and the special agents all felt somewhat at a loss.

Previously, the Radiant Sun Church was just one of many religious sects, and they could have ignored it; the girl died on the spot, and that was that. But now, they can't. They can actually use divine magic, and there really is a god behind them.

"Has someone been sent to inform the church?"

The detective asked in a low voice, and the sheriff nodded: "Nonsense, we just don't know when they'll be here."

Mostall looked at the special personnel ahead with some worry, mainly because he was afraid that these people might do something.

Time ticked by, and the special personnel were still negotiating with the necromancer, visibly losing patience and showing signs of taking action.

"Hey, aren't you afraid of the Radiant Sun Church?!"

The sheriff saw through it and quickly stepped forward to stop it, but the person in charge of the operation just snorted coldly: "Hmph, but we absolutely cannot let this guy who controls the corpses go. So what should we do, just surround him and wait for the church to come and deal with it?"

Just as he was gazing at the necromancer and waving to signal everyone to move, a crimson figure descended.

Chapter 677 was handled very well.

Damn it, why did I get exposed? I should have been able to cover it up perfectly!

The killer was agitated and angry. The person he killed had a business conflict with him. This was not the first time he had used evil magic to deal with someone he had a conflict with, but he did not expect to fail again.

The children in the orphanage were also used by him to cultivate his magic. Obtaining pure blood and souls from the children could greatly enhance his power. Not only was he less susceptible to the children's personalities and emotions, but the orphans were also difficult to notice.

The necromancer glanced at Sophia in his hand and snorted. It was a good thing she came to the orphanage, otherwise, capturing those orphans would have been useless.

Looking at the numerous guards eyeing him menacingly, his expression grew increasingly grim. As a businessman, he could naturally sense the extremely tense atmosphere; these guys were probably about to disregard the hostages and take action.

Fortunately, there were many bones buried beneath the orphanage, so even if they launched an attack, he would have time to summon skeletons to protect himself...

Just as he was thinking of a way out, he noticed that everyone was looking at him with horror behind him. The necromancer initially thought it was a trick and was about to mock him when a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

what the hell!

The mage widened his eyes and tried to turn around, but found that his body was no longer under his control. He gradually released his hands from Sophia, who was about to be choked unconscious. The little priest coughed and fell down, turning around and seeing Maginus with surprise.

"What are you still doing here? Let's go back."

With one hand holding the mage and the other embracing Sophia, Maginus disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving the special forces and police officers dumbfounded.

Returning to the church in one minute, Maginus released the dazed Sophia and tossed the completely immobile necromancer in front of the bishop:

"Here, you can have both of them. To be honest, if they weren't part of your church, I would have killed that special department guy and this guy long ago. You can decide what to do with them."

Her mood suddenly improved. Just now, the part of her perception that was obscured by the curse was finally broken through. Although she couldn't pinpoint the location of the continent of Knoil, she was able to speak with her priest again.

Leaving the trouble to the bishop, Maginus returned to her bedroom, closed her eyes, and her own senses rapidly spread outwards, penetrating dimensional barriers and connecting with the divine guidance and the priest's call.

In the Temple of the Dead, Melu knelt and prayed as usual, not holding much hope for Maginus's response. But just as she was about to finish her prayer, a warm wave made her body and mind jolt. She closed her eyes tightly, her heart filled with longing and anticipation.

The power of faith spread, reconnecting her with her god. Melu opened her eyes, stunned and deeply shocked by the struggle between her divine incarnations.

"Okay, stop watching, it's bad for your health."

Maginus blocked her view from behind, and Melu turned around and hugged her goddess, rubbing her head against her chest repeatedly: "Goddess! You've finally made contact with us!"

"Ah, it took some time, mainly because the curse was just too troublesome."

Holding Melu's cheeks and rubbing them, Maginus saw that she was unharmed and not anxious, so he knew that nothing too serious had happened to Nessere during his absence, or at least the children at home had taken care of the matter.

"Tell me, what has happened recently?"

Clapping hands creates a room in the dream, and Maginus sits down with Melu in his arms, asking her to report on recent events. Melu starts from the day Maginus was transferred away and continues to the present day when Nesery defeats the coalition of nations.

Resting her chin on Melu's head, listening to her report, Maginus smiled with satisfaction: "Hmm, everyone has really grown up."

"Yes, we thought we would be in a lot of trouble, but everything turned out to be easier than we expected."

Melu nodded sincerely, looked up at her goddess, and asked, "What's next? What should we do? Give us a general direction. Also, how long will it take you to come back?"

"It will probably take about two more months for my consciousness to reconnect with my avatar. As for my main body, it can't come back for the time being. I need to use my avatar to do some things. You'd better stay put for the next two months."

“Okay,” Melu said, expressing her concern, “but we’re still worried about what to do if a legend comes along.”

"Don't be afraid, I'm ready. Someone will come to help."

As she rubbed Melu's cheeks, her figure gradually became ethereal, clearly unable to withstand the continuous output of faith power. She was about to end the projection and sever her connection with her goddess.

Before ending, Maginus simply raised her hand and touched Melu's forehead, pouring all the words she wanted to say into it.

Upon opening her eyes in reality, Melu lay panting heavily before the statue. The priests quickly surrounded her to inquire about what had happened, and she joyfully revealed the truth: "The goddess has found us!"

The news immediately reached the ears of important people. Mira went to the church at the first opportunity to discuss it with Melu. After learning that His Majesty would return in two months and the orders she had given, the head maid rubbed her fingers together and left with light steps.

Mira finished dealing with the main matters with Melu first, and then Lenia and a group of children rushed in asking all sorts of questions. The serious atmosphere of the past few months was swept away, and the gloom in everyone's hearts dissipated.

The main thing is that they have a pillar of support. They only need to wait for a little over two months for the goddess, the emperor, and their lover to return to their side. Having a deadline is like having something to look forward to, which is much better than waiting endlessly.

Mira, who was practically the executive vice-king, didn't ask any questions. Busy as she was, she summoned many officials and nobles in important positions and asked them to slow down the territories that originally belonged to them and the attacks on other countries.

When everyone asked why, Mira said in a serious tone, "You know, I have special channels to get the latest intelligence. Nizmore plans to catch us off guard when you all leave, and the time will be in two months."

An enemy wanted to take advantage of the weakened defenses and advance deep into the heart of Nesserei. This was a good reason, and the generals agreed, beginning to gather their troops and garrison near the border.

"Hopefully, these last two months will be uneventful..."

Mira rubbed her temples. With her powerful senses, she and the priests, including Melu, all had a bad feeling, as if something big was about to happen.

We must persevere until His Majesty returns.

Chapter 678 Receiving Money

“I’m absolutely certain that Maginus has already left our prime material plane. Isn’t that enough to get you to take action?”

In the royal palace, Whitney stood before several legends, pleading for their help to deal with Nesser, or at least to break the army apart.

However, the legends were unwilling to move. The Nizmores, in particular, were among the older legends, their souls already decaying. Even so, they did not intend to use their remaining lifespans to help the country.

Instead of helping Nizmore, it would be better to spend more time finding ways to increase the maximum lifespan of a soul, or to deepen the study of magic.

After all, their connection was only with the first few generations of Nizmol kings. As time passed and bloodlines diluted, the current king and the legendary professionals had no affection for each other.

Another point is that the legend who was previously very close to Whinet has now remained forever in the territory of Nesery, which makes many legends very wary of Maginus.

Regardless of what their king said, Maginus remained in the palace, meeting with his subordinates every day without fail, and the strong aura emanating from him seemed genuine.

This is an undeniable fact. On the contrary, Whitney's claim that she was a fraud is completely unsubstantiated and lacks any evidence or proof. The legends have no intention of believing her.

“I’m very sorry, Your Majesty, our duty is to protect Nizmor, and it is impossible for us to attack ordinary soldiers of Nesser in times of crisis.”

Using polite language to express her refusal, Whitney, maintaining her composure, took a deep breath and then bowed her head, saying, "I'm very sorry to bother you."

After the legends left, Whitney activated the magic circle set up in the palace. Her expression changed rapidly, and anger, irritability, resentment and other emotions distorted her face, making her look exactly like Maginus when she was afflicted by the god of slaughter.

Upon arriving at the palace dungeon, he stood in the arena and ordered his bodyguards to release a powerful death row inmate. He then fought the inmate bare-handed, torturing him to death before finally calming down considerably.

Whitney gripped the killing blade tightly, as if explaining to it who was the master, herself or the blade. Seeing that the blade did not react, she nodded in satisfaction.

He appeared unaffected, but the corpses and remains on the ground spoke volumes. Subconsciously, he knew this was wrong, which is why he carried out the killings in the prison.

His subconscious was just that—his subconscious. He was unwilling to give up his straight sword, and his surface consciousness was being gradually corrupted by the power of killing.

After venting her emotions, Whitney, now much calmer, took out a crystal ball and gently rubbed it. The magic crystal emitted light, and soon a beautiful figure appeared inside. The emblem on her chest proved that she was a member of the Bloodstained Order.

"Honorable guest, is there anything you need?"

"...Two legends, targeting Nesery, are attacking the royal capital, Doflamingo."

The Bloodstained Society's customer service staff widened their eyes in surprise upon hearing this, then said with delight, "Please wait a moment, I will go and ask someone at a higher level to discuss this with you. The Bloodstained Society has also set its sights on Nesser.

After the beautiful woman left the crystal ball, a fierce-looking man sat down in front of her. When he saw it was Whitney, he raised his eyebrows.

"Who do we have here? It's Mr. Whitnet. How have you been lately?"

“You know, not very good,” Whinet shook his head. They were acquaintances, so he asked directly, “How much would it cost to send a few legends to investigate Dover’s strength?”

"Simple, I'll give you a discount. I've been wanting to take action against that damn guy for a long time."

Two months later.

"Ugh, I wonder when this battle will end. We're stuck here halfway through, is that really okay?"

"Be content, at least you get rest time. You haven't experienced the army before the changes. Let me tell you, back then the army was full of all sorts of monsters and demons. The soldiers and officers weren't as friendly as they are now."

The veteran exhaled a smoke ring and looked at Dofley not far away: "Our garrison is close to the capital. If there is danger in other areas, we can set off from here in time to provide support. It can be said to be the best place. If you really want to make a name for yourself, this team is very good."

As the group was talking, a spatial fluctuation flashed by, and several people exuding a strong aura appeared in the sky near Dovley. Several generals and even soldiers couldn't help but tremble when they saw this, realizing that danger was coming.

"Escape! Every single one of them who can escape is one more!"

Whether they were high-ranking or legendary, they were no match for this small army. The generals gave their soldiers only one piece of advice: run! Split up and run away when facing the legendary ones.

The Bloodstained Society members floating in the air paid no attention to the fleeing army, watching as Doflamingo prepared for both battle and escape.

There were six people in total: one legendary mage, one legendary warrior, and four high-ranking mages.

If what Whinet Nizmore says is true, and Maginus on the throne is an imposter, then they will turn their attention to Dover and eliminate the entire capital as quickly as possible, ensuring no priest survives.

If Maginus is real... then we can only let one of them escape. There's no other way; they can't just not come. Given Maginus's vengeful nature, as high-ranking members of the Bloodstained Order, they can't escape death. Resisting now might leave a way out for the others.

Meteor Explosion!

The fireball hurtled toward the center of Dover, but as soon as it entered Dover, the fireball, which was a harbinger of a meteor explosion, underwent a shocking change. Its inner magic vanished rapidly, and its magical structure collapsed.

Seeing this, everyone frowned, and the legendary mage of the Bloodstained Society twitched at the corner of his mouth: "Bewitching Lock..."

He tried casting spells further away from the center, but all the way to the city wall, none of the spells he threw down made a sound.

Since the day Maginus sensed her impending departure, the construction of the Maze has been quietly prioritized and completed two weeks ago.

This means that unless it is a god or a spell that destroys the entire foundation, no other spell can affect the existence of the Maze Lock, nor can it affect the things inside the Maze Lock.

"please."

The mage looked at the warrior beside him, who took a deep breath, nodded, and descended from the air, charging towards the city wall. His longsword sliced ​​into the wall with incredible speed.

However, the wall did not collapse. The magical incantations appeared and held back for a while. Then the blade slashed into it, and the warrior's body crashed into the wall. It only caused the incantations on the wall to fluctuate, and no cracks appeared.

Chapter 679 Deception Fails, Both Sides Fight to the Death

The spells on the city wall are part of the Enchanted Lock, meaning they are unaffected by it. Once a legendary warrior enters the Enchanted Lock's range, he has no authority to activate magic, so the enchantment that spreads the power of his weapon cannot be activated, and he can only cut into the city wall.

The city's defenders noticed the somewhat embarrassed legendary warrior. Without time to ponder it further, the teachings of the city's defense manual immediately came to mind.

If only one person dares to charge the city wall and successfully breaches the wall inscribed with the spell, do not hesitate to immediately sound the highest alarm.

The legendary warrior frowned, drew his longsword, locked his gaze on the many city guards who had seen him, and vanished from the spot with a swing of his sword. The city guards only felt a lightness in their bodies, and a sharp pain brought them back to their senses, only to find that they had been decapitated.

In just two seconds, all the soldiers who saw the legendary warrior died, but the last one pressed the alarm button before he died.

The alarm connected to the church suddenly sounded, and Melu, who was praying, opened her eyes in shock and anger. Without exchanging any words with the other pastors behind her, they all closed their eyes instantly as instructed and trained, pouring all their energy into the idol.

The statue emitted a scarlet glow, connecting to the avatar. The enraged "Magnus" rose from the bed, grabbed her clothes and pulled them hard, liquid life force covering them and transforming them into a battle skirt.

Shape the blade with your mind.

Holding the longsword in her hand, she opened the window and rushed to the scene. It took five seconds for Melu and the others to react, five seconds for them to connect, and the remaining second was the preparation time for her transformation.

One second later, twelve seconds later, Maginus appeared before the Bloodstained Legendary Warrior, whose eyes were filled with terror. He immediately stopped his charge toward the palace and turned to run without hesitation.

As for legendary mages and high-ranking mages? These cowardly fellows had already fled through the portal when they saw the figures rushing out of the palace, not giving Maginus any chance to stop them.

A bloody line appeared as the figure instantly closed in on the legendary warrior. He raised his leg and kicked the blade, which had just been sliced ​​open by the blade. The blade then rejoined itself after slicing through the leg, and he stomped on the warrior's chest, sending him flying into the air.

With legs braced and springing up, the body stomped again on the warrior's body, sending him as far away from the town as possible, but not so far as to fly out of the maze.

Reaching a safe distance, "Magnus" conjured a crimson ground beneath her and engaged the legendary warrior in battle mid-air.

The battle quickly attracted everyone's attention. The specially made crimson ground obscured most of the view, preserving the secret of the avatar. The legendary warrior immediately realized something was wrong during the battle and stared at Maginus with astonishment.

"Don't panic, respond with a strange smile."

Feeling that their disguise as goddesses had been discovered, many of the children were unsettled, but Melu remained calm and composed, signaling everyone to control their avatars and curling up the corners of her mouth.
