The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

The last few names in Chapter 709 of the notes

Nizmore was also afraid that someone might enter the capital and open a portal, causing chaos, so he set up search teams around the capital to prevent anyone from getting close.

Having evaded the surveillance teams near the capital, and approaching the city gates and walls, just as everyone was about to ask Maginus what to do, she touched the longsword at her waist, stared at the wall in front of her, and said:

"Let's summon the soldiers right here. I'll open the wall later."

The walls of Nizmore's capital were not built of ordinary stone. After Whinet's alterations, they were all replaced with special metal, and their surfaces were covered with multiple layers of magic.

Whether they are legendary non-spellcasters or legendary spellcasters, they would find it difficult to break through the city walls. But Maginus is here. She will slowly break through the walls and then follow the army in, gradually approaching the palace.

Before the Grey Eagle Duchy invited her, Maginus had planned to set off from the border of Nizmor and approach the capital without any concealment. However, since the surrounding countries all wanted to fight Nizmor, she didn't bother with that.

It's hard to say whether starting from the capital or from the border is more frightening. After all, traveling from the border to the capital to kill Whitney and Susan would take far too long, and they might still travel to other prime material planes, requiring me to expend effort to capture them.

Now, starting directly from the edge of the capital, we can wait for the soldiers from various countries to arrive and then use the dimensional anchor to block everyone's movement.

Behind them, the elites from various countries obeyed the order and released the teleportation portal. One by one, mid-level and low-level elite warriors stepped out of the portal, and some spellcasters expanded the invisibility field to accommodate more people.

About ten minutes later, the army assembled, numbering several thousand. Although the number was small, this army was estimated to be able to fight against an army of at least several hundred thousand.

"Your Majesty Imperius, the troops are all here, and we are waiting for you to breach the city walls."

Everyone looked at Maginus. The girl drew the Blood Gathering from her waist and poured all her energy into it. The fluctuations affected the effect of the invisibility field and were about to break the spell.

A strong wind spread out from her, the ground collapsed downwards, and no one dared to get too close to Maginus, so they quickly retreated to make way for a safe area.

Before the magical barrier was completely destroyed by the surging energy, Maginus raised her Blood Gathering and casually slashed forward. A gentle breeze blew outwards from her, ruffling her long hair, the hem of her clothes, and even her banner.

The invisible barrier shattered with a deafening roar, and a flash of blood disappeared in an instant. Only the legendary figure saw it clearly as the solidified blade light, tens of meters long, struck the city wall that radiated magical light.

A crack appeared in the seemingly indestructible wall, and a dazzling red light flashed within the crack before it exploded with a deafening roar the next second!

Wall fragments spread out in a cone shape, and many soldiers patrolling and guarding behind the city walls were killed by the alloy fragments. The storm swept away the thatched huts in the distance, revealing a huge gap that was large enough for the outside army to enter the city.

The legends accompanying the procession exchanged glances, then raised their hands to unleash spells such as dimensional anchors and dimensional locks to seal off the nobles inside and prevent their escape. Maginus slowly stepped onto the city wall, leaving behind only one sentence:

"Give me a squad, and you can handle the rest yourselves."

"Everyone, charge in! There's nothing to rob from the commoners, go find the nobles!"

The captain, with the air of an adventurer and a bandit, shouted excitedly, and his team, disregarding all rules, stepped past Maginus, bowed to her, and rushed into the city. At his shout, everyone sprang into action, leaving her side one by one.

A small team of about ten high-ranking officials from various countries stood behind Maginus. The captain's eyes flashed with awe as he bowed his head and asked, "Is there anything you need us to do?"

"No rush, let's walk over slowly, we have plenty of time to make our move."

Maginus took out her "Death Note," which she hadn't touched in a long time. A bloodthirsty glint flashed in her eyes, and Blood Pursuit was activated. A large number of threads appeared in the air, some of which had already left the capital of Nizmore, while many more remained here.

She dealt with the escapees first. She raised her hand and gently pinched, and the blood-red threads transmitted her power. The threads that had left the capital were easily destroyed, meaning that everyone on the other end of the threads was also dead.

With a light snap of her fingers, the girl cast a projection spell, projecting the names from the notebook into the sky.

The remaining threads led her to her nearest enemy. Avoiding the noble quarter, she pursued him into a private residence, signaling her team to force their way in. The residents, awakened by the ferocious soldiers, panicked and clutched their children, screaming in terror:

"Who are you, and what do you want?!"

"The explosion didn't wake you up, you only woke up when we broke down the door," Maginus said casually, turning the Death Note to show them the names inside, then crossing them out completely with her fingertip. "It's you guys, isn't it?"

"Kill them all, leave no one alive."

Turning away, the two high-ranking individuals did not hesitate, grabbing their weapons and stepping forward. The terrified residents, no longer putting on an act, roared and attacked the high-ranking professionals, only to be easily killed.

The corpses fell to the ground, and they returned to their original forms. The spellcasters were slightly surprised, as they had not noticed that these people were actually deformed.

Arriving at another house, Maginus pushed open the door again. Before she entered, the family of four was already trembling and embracing each other. The thin, middle-aged man, seeing the powerful soldiers, released his wife and children and knelt down, begging for mercy.

"Sir/Madam, we have nothing of value, please let us go!"

The cat, its gaze fixed on the window, suddenly tried to leap onto the open window when their eyes met. Maginus ordered his soldiers to intercept it: "Kill it."

A force field wall blocked the window. The warrior stepped forward and struck the black cat with his sword. A clang of metal rang out. To everyone's astonishment, the black cat transformed back into human form and called out to Maginus:

"Damn it, I didn't lay a hand on your Imperius royal family!"

The list was given by the Ancient Tree of Wisdom. Maginus had heard the Ancient Tree mention why these people were her mortal enemies; in short, none of them were innocent.

Without receiving Maginus's order to stop, the team launched an even more ferocious attack, killing the nobleman disguised as a cat three minutes later, and leaving the houses in a complete mess.

She took a small gold bar from the demiplane and tossed it to the residents. Then she turned and left with everyone, continuing to follow the silk thread as if taking a leisurely stroll, neither in a hurry nor hesitating.

Stepping out of the house, the team members couldn't help but look up at the sky. Several names had just been completely crossed out, which sent a chill down their spines.

This is a death knell. Maginus revealed the contents of the notebook to warn those who had entered it.

None of them could escape; their only fate was to die at the hands of Maginus Imperius.

Chapter 710 Some people can be let off the hook, some can't.

Shouts rose from all sides as the vanguard bypassed the residential areas and stormed into the noble and wealthy districts. Some groups, simply following the style of powerful adventurers, began burning, killing, and looting. However, seemingly aware that Maginus disapproved of such behavior, few killed or raped.

No one dared to gamble on whether she would actually make a move. Since it was a safer option, they could just take the money and the goods. The Nesserian army had done the same thing at the beginning, which meant that Maginus did not prohibit such behavior.

As it turned out, Maginus did indeed ignore it. She knew everything that was happening in the city: flames were rising in the wealthy and noble districts, and smoke was billowing around them. The girl's mood became increasingly cheerful as these signs appeared, and she even walked faster.

After thinking it over carefully, she realized who she was chasing. She raised her hand and pointed to the Death Note in the air. A name immediately turned bright red, the meaning of which was clear: death had come, and you were next to die, so run away quickly.

In the dark alley, the woman disguised as a coachman narrowed her eyes, abandoning all decorum, and decisively threw down the carriage and ran wildly into the sewers, trying to hinder Maginus's progress.

Entering the sewers, she followed the map in her mind to the lowest level. At the crossroads, she endured the stench and gazed around, holding a spell scroll in her hand, occasionally tearing open a teleportation spell to try and escape.

Her other hand was for speed; if someone got close, she could use the winding paths of the sewers to dodge and survive for as long as possible.

More than three minutes later, a figure suddenly appeared to the left of the countess. Her pupils contracted slightly, and she decisively tore apart the speed-up spell and fled to the side. At the same time, she took out a new spell scroll to add defensive capabilities to herself.

However, as soon as she turned around, she found that someone was already waiting for her at the intersection where she wanted to escape. Looking around, she turned pale and found that every intersection was blocked.

It's okay, I can still go up!

The count leaped into the air, grabbed the climbing frame, and fled upwards. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her hair and lifted her up. The high-ranking warrior turned to look at Maginus behind him, a fawning smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, shall we kill them now?"

"Kill him."

Admiring her slender fingers, Maginos decided her fate, turned and left through the sewers, and the notebook in the air crossed out another name and lit up another.

This time it wasn't just one person, but a group. She looked at the noble manor and said to the team members behind her, "Let's go, I'll take you to ransack the place. You can distribute the contents yourselves, just don't start arguing."

"Which company is this?"

"His surname is Ita."

Flipping through her notes, Maginus followed the threads to the manor gate, where a group of soldiers formed a tight protective net, including many high-level professionals, presumably bound by contracts.

She arrived at the manor and raised her finger at the wary people: "Hand over your patriarch and all his direct descendants. I can spare the lives of the rest of you, but you must all leave the manor. I'll give you three minutes to think it over. Once you've made up your minds, open the door and the security measures."

The entire manor was given some time to consider. Maginus stood in front of them. Three minutes is a long time for ordinary people to think, but it is a very long time for high-level people.

When the three minutes were up, she raised her hand to grip the hilt of her sword, preparing to force her way in and kill everyone. Immediately, a commotion and the sounds of fighting erupted from inside.

"No, you can't do this. I gave you the life you have today. If I die, you won't have a good life either; you'll only become slaves!"

"Heh, becoming a slave is better than dying, right? Besides, we are of high rank. As long as we don't die, we will regain our status after a while, and the result will definitely be better than being your family's dogs."

The professionals sneered, and panicked cries rang out again: "There's still a contract! There's still a contract! You can't break the contract you've already signed! You have to protect me!!"

The gate slowly opened, and a group of people were escorted to Maginus. A high-level professional kicked the count over.

“Listen up, Your Excellency, we are supposed to protect the Ita family. The fact that the contract didn’t kill us after we were brought out means that it sees this as the right thing to do.”

The leader sneered, turned and knelt on one knee before Maginus. Just as he was about to speak, the girl drew her weapon and walked past him.

"Don't worry, you'll be recruited later, I won't kill you."

Gazing at the count, Maginos lightly swung her sword, killing the direct descendant.

The Holden family estate.

Susan's full name is Susan Holden. This is her home, and it's where her childhood undercover work began.

Upon her return, the Holden family patriarch, as her father and the initiator of the covert operation, received immense honor, leading to the family's rapid expansion.

This was even more true after Whitney became king, and Susan's mother was also elevated to the status of mistress and principal wife because of her daughter's power.

However, the entire family is now in a state of extreme panic. They look at the notebook above their heads, where the patriarch's name is prominently listed, while the names of the others are not.

The problem is that that damned Susan killed a member of the royal family with her own hands and even completely betrayed Maginos Imperius.

Those family members who could escape from the manor had already fled. The direct descendants and those who hadn't separated from the family still clung to a sliver of hope, praying, unaware of anything else, that Maginus would be killed.

Every few minutes, a name disappears completely, regardless of rank or strength, and the disappearance is irregular, making one terrified that they might be next.

The number of names in the notebook decreased one by one, from dozens to a dozen or so, all of whom were renowned figures.

The protective barrier that could shield the entire manor was opened, and they nervously looked up at the sky. Suddenly, Susan's father, the head of the Holden family, turned pale and slumped into a chair.

His name lit up in the corner of the notebook, emitting a red light that was even more crimson and bloody than the previous ones, with blood dripping down continuously.

It was truly dripping blood. The blood fell onto the protective shield of Holden Manor, constantly eroding the defense and gradually breaking it down. The process was very slow, not like the shield itself providing strong protection, but rather like it was deliberately torturing their minds.

The surrounding area was ablaze, but their manor remained silent. Now, an army emerged from the shadows into the range of the magic lamps, and the leader of the army caused the observers to gasp in horror as he fell directly from the watchtower.

The observer, a mid-level professional, was on the verge of madness under the immense pressure, shouting, "We're all going to die! We're all going to die! Maginus... Maginus Imperius is here!"

Some people were still hoping for the best, having heard that most of the family members had survived, with only the ringleader or their direct descendants dying. Perhaps the Holden family would be the same?

Even becoming slaves is better than dying here.

Maginus looked up at the manor with a somewhat wistful expression. After a brief moment of recollection, he drew his greatsword, aimed it at the manor, and made no attempt to engage in any conversation.

Chapter 711: Strolling in the Garden

The blood-gathering, life-force-infused sword unleashed a raging, blood-red blade that collided with the manor's protective shield, destroying it like a devastating blow. The flying sword finally came to a stop.

As she rubbed her fingertips together, Maginus couldn't help but hum a song as she entered the manor. Her attack had caused heavy losses to the unprepared manor, with many people lying on the ground groaning in pain, and many bodies lying with severed limbs or cut in two.

"Help! Help!"

With a crushing blow to the head of the woman who came to plead for help, Maginus gazed at the hellish scene with great delight, a smile that was hard to shake off once it appeared, while the wails and screams around him sounded like heavenly music.

She clenched her fist tightly, and the entire manor was covered in blood. Maginus leaned against the manor wall, showing no intention of doing it herself. She raised her chin, signaling the members to deal with the people from Holden Manor. The vice-captain asked hesitantly:

"Your Majesty, is it all, or are there some people to be spared?"

"Those glowing red are all members of the Holden family. Kill them all, cut off their heads and bring them to me, regardless of age or gender."

The voice was cold and arrogant, and the murderous intent and excitement in the words made the vice-captain stop asking questions and signal everyone to start working. In order to save everyone time and energy, the spellcaster simply summoned some golems that existed for a short time and used them to help deal with the weak.

The red lights, like markers, were quite conspicuous, which reduced the workload of the professionals to some extent. Regarding the miserable state of Holden's direct descendants, some people were reluctant to cut them, some people's faces remained unchanged, and some people were even slightly excited.

The maids and servants were ignored and allowed to run around freely. When they discovered that the army only killed those who emitted red light, their fear subsided considerably. Following the advice of some of the kinder soldiers, they huddled in a corner and remained motionless.

"Death to me all!"

The vast manor naturally has some high-level beings, and they are currently engaged in battle with the people led by Maginus. The girl is not worried about their strength at all; those entrusted to her should be the stronger ones.

After all, the next step is to storm the palace. If this group isn't strong, they might not be able to withstand the palace's first counterattack. In that case, only Maginus will be left to go in alone. Without some spectators, it just doesn't feel interesting.

Flames flickered, shockwaves and tremors followed one after another. Holden's historic and historic manor was gradually demolished in the explosions and shockwaves of the battle, leaving only ruins and many antiques broken as a result.

It doesn't matter to these high-level professionals. Even if the drum is shattered, it's just a bit more troublesome. They can search for antique fragments in the ruins. As long as they are ordinary items, they can use restoration magic to restore the antiques. Moreover, the fragments are within a certain distance of the antiques, and those that were blown away by the explosion will fly back.

Watching the battle between the enemy and their own forces, Maginus hummed a soft song as she awaited its end.

"Stop the golem immediately!"

The high-ranking officer of Holden Manor shouted, wanting to save his slaughtered comrades, but he himself was the first to fall into danger, entering a trap and fighting with people, and gradually fell silent.

Inside the Nizmol Palace.

The magnificent palace is now under the strictest and most powerful defenses, and everyone is on high alert. All the professionals have very serious expressions as they await the upcoming battle.

In fact, this was enough to deter several legendary figures, not to resist the legends, nor to stop the army, but to slow down one person.

It wasn't a person, but rather a deity. The tight defenses were merely to make her kill more, to make her feel that the enemies in the palace were afraid, trembling, and daring not to put up any resistance.

But so far, the great battle has not come, the army has not arrived, and the gods we are waiting for have not come. The distant firelight tells us everything. Whitney Nizmore is happy with this and looks forward to spending more time outside.

"Hurry, set it up even faster!"

Whitney urged her anxiously. Susan stood on the balcony, looking up at the full moon, which was shrouded in dark clouds that swallowed up all the light.

Apart from that, everything is normal.

That's right, "everything is normal." The Death Note hanging in the air is not visible in the palace or the surrounding area at all. Majinu deliberately made it invisible to them and sealed off the palace.
