The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Compared to the golem's enormous size, the constantly flowing runes on its body were far more eye-catching, dazzling the eyes and making it impossible to concentrate.

"That, that's... a runic steel golem?"

Several mages exclaimed in disbelief, and the next second an astonishing scene appeared before everyone's eyes: the seemingly clumsy golem bent its legs and leaped, jumping directly from the palace gate to the position of Benedict's army!

Upon landing, the golem crushed the two people with its feet. It looked up and surveyed its surroundings, its yellow eyes seemingly trying to distinguish friend from foe. Inside the palace, Ronald, standing at the window, saw the scenery the golem was looking at. With a thought, he made the golem lock onto the enemy.

Once locked on, the steel colossus didn't need his control at all. It immediately went into slaughter mode, its legs kicking up debris as it pounced on the soldiers in the army at top speed!

"Attack, attack quickly!"

The enormous hand swung wildly, undeterred by the pain. Soldiers struck by it were either killed or wounded. Ordinary swords and blades struck the metal surface without leaving a single mark, as if the glowing runes had shielded it from all harm.

In just five seconds, most of the people in the area were dead or wounded. Seeing this, Katherel's eyes widened, and he stood up, gripped his sword hilt, and took a few deep breaths.

His combat instincts told him that this steel monster was dangerous, far more dangerous than his previous successor, and that he might have to sacrifice his life to defeat it.

As for holding it back? This thing doesn't seem to get tired at all, and he doesn't want to gamble his life on it running out of energy.

Chapter 212 Decisive Battle

After a moment of silence, Catherine turned to Benedict, whose face was contorted with rage, and said:

“Bennedy… Your Highness, I can only hold it off for a while, not kill it. You must speed things up and launch a full-scale attack on the palace instead of dawdling here.”

Upon learning from Katherel that he was unable to deal with the Iron Golem on the other side, Benedict nodded and said fiercely, "Fine, I will kill Ronald as soon as possible. The thing controlling the Iron Golem must be on him!"

Receiving a response, the salt crystal guard, like the golem, shattered the ground beneath his feet, kicking up dust as he charged toward the steel golem. The golem, which had been dealing with the minions, turned around and saw Katherel and the magical weapon in his hand.

Ordinary weapons cannot damage golems; only magical weapons can.

Upon learning from the golem that the Salt Crystal Guardians had launched an attack, Ronald did not hesitate and ordered the golem to hold off Katherel. After giving the order, he immediately got up and notified the people around him to prepare for the final battle.

He believed that Benedict wouldn't dare to delay, this would be the final battle, and he might even have to go on stage to officially face Benedict, after all, there weren't many mid-level professionals, and Benedict seemed to have undergone some strange changes recently.

After issuing a series of orders, Ronaldo left and returned to the king's bedroom. He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his father who was no longer able to get up.

Tannen Faststone is dying, old and frail, and no longer has the strength to speak or even open his eyes.

“Father, please bless me to break the curse of the prophecy. I will lead the Crystal Salt Kingdom to prosperity and make Benedict get the ending he deserves. You don’t need to worry, I will succeed. After all, I have always been the child you trust the most, haven’t I?”

Sitting by the bed, Ronald grasped King Tant's wrinkled hand and spoke to him. After confirming that the king was still alive, he stepped out of the bedroom and strode resolutely to the outside of the main palace.

Gazing at the chaotic battlefield, he raised his longsword and shouted, "Victory is certain!"

Benedic, sitting opposite, saw Ronaldo shining brightly in the crowd, his face filled with jealousy, and some past scenes flashed through his mind.

Those were memories that Royalteid had entrusted to a sorcerer to seal and alter. As his strength increased, Benedict vaguely recalled them.

Upon entering the palace for the first time, out of curiosity, he got separated from his father and the first person he encountered was not Ronald, but a very beautiful maid.

The beautiful maid was speaking to him, but he stared at her throat, his desire surging, and he pounced on her, biting her.

As he was eating, he saw Ronald running away, but he was too busy eating to bother looking for him.

Everything after that was a bit blurry. In the last memory, Royatide, his father, took him to a master of spellcasting who was proficient in bewitching magic, and they sealed the matter away.

This is the truth of the memory: it wasn't Ronald who ate the maid, but himself.

Ah, yes, the demon in the prophecy was actually him, but what does it matter...?

Benedict's wicked nature was changed by his father's teachings, and over time he developed his current personality instead of becoming a demon as prophesied. This made him believe that anything is possible.

"I will gain everything, and then I will break the prophecy and prove to everyone that I am not a demon."

With an exaggerated smile, Benedict raised his rifle and shouted, "Coal Corps, kill them!!"

Unbeknownst to him, black energy was emanating from his body, and beneath his armor, bulging veins were gradually swelling.

……

Ronald put on the exquisite leather armor, pondering what else he might have overlooked, and suddenly remembered Lenya, who was still in the palace. He shook hands with her and headed towards her room.

Upon opening the door, Ronald saw that the purple-haired girl, who had been "drowned by Benedict," was still fast asleep. He looked at Catherine, who was taking care of her, with some concern: "Maid, she's been sleeping for so long, doesn't she show any signs of waking up?"

Catherine shook her head: "Your Majesty, Miss is still not awake, but her body doesn't seem to have changed much. It's probably because of the medicine."

In fact, Catherine knew the effects of the potion. Besides putting people to sleep, it would make them feel like they were in hibernation. They would be fine for up to ten days, and at most they would be a little weak after waking up.

"Yes, I'll go with you to see the priest after this is all over."

Ronald nodded, not saying anything about not being able to come back. He believed he was the ultimate winner. If he didn't believe he could break the prophecy and curse, he might as well just wait to die.

Once Ronald left, Catherine immediately relaxed, listening nervously to the sounds of battle outside, softly murmuring Maginus's name.

"Mine, please come back soon. It's still very dangerous here. It would be terrible if something went wrong."

The palace is getting more and more chaotic. It will probably be even more chaotic when the soldiers rush into the palace. Catherine feels that she and her few loyal followers alone cannot protect Lenya.

The absence of the two strongest fighters filled the maid with a strange sense of unease.

途祁lc笼扒焐巴起%崎!

Three hours later.

Step, step, step

The sound of leather boots echoed through the silent manor. Actually, it was alright. At this time, the battle was still going on at the palace, but Maginus's side was almost finished, with only one person left.

She walked through the blood-stained manor, constantly flipping through the Death Note, drawing the final line on it.

Some of the guys whose names were written in the Death Note have disappeared, probably having escaped long ago. Others, like the guy the girl at the front was targeting, were killed by all the private soldiers and then disposed of.

As for their families, those who haven't seen them are fine, since they can't be found anyway. Since we've seen them... hehehe~~.

Maginot chuckled, her eyes filled with manic emotion; she had gone mad with killing spree.

As for children, she herself is still a child, and the concept of children never comes up in front of her.

Those who escaped can be left alone. As long as the girl didn't see them, she can assume they're dead. Anyway, they have little to do with the destruction of the Nesery royal family. Elliot, considering his future rule of the country, would probably wipe them out again and there wouldn't be many left.

Now, only three names remain in the Death Note: Benedict, Ronald Faston, and Tant Faston.

Oh, the one who was just crossed out isn't dead yet. He's currently hiding in what he thinks is a safe room with his family, too afraid to go out.

"What a pity~~."

Marginus sighed, knowing that the hidden count could hear her:

“My lord, if you had moved your position earlier, I might have given up the pursuit because I couldn’t find you, hehehehe~~.”

Chapter 213 Burn it all!

Standing in the storage room, Maginus shook her head slightly and began to wander aimlessly around, as if searching for the entrance to the secret room.

She looked around but found nothing suspicious. She showed no intention of leaving, and simply stood in the center swaying her body.

Inside the secret chamber, the count, who was looking outside, had his neck soaked with cold sweat, fearing that Maginus would discover the location of the secret chamber door.

Even though the entrance to the secret room was full of traps, he couldn't help but worry whether the traps could harm the monster, since he mistakenly believed that she had killed all the private soldiers in her house before entering.

In reality, Maginus didn't kill as many of the Jurchen tribes as the Jurchen tribes; he only dealt with about a quarter of them. The remaining three-quarters either fled or ran away, showing no intention of being loyal or dutiful.

Yes, that's why she prioritized getting rid of the leader. After losing their leader, the private soldiers fell into chaos and had no order whatsoever. They quickly scattered and fled under Maginus's aura of fear.

That said, the girl had already found the entrance to the secret room, but she wasn't going to risk it herself. Instead, she wanted to use an easier method to kill the count or force him out.

Life force silently seeped into the underground chamber through the cracks. Once the life force below had accumulated enough, she raised her hand and patted it lightly, and the life force immediately turned into liquid.

The liquefied life force was quickly discovered, but it had already found the Earl and without hesitation wrapped around his head, covering his mouth and nose, making it impossible for him to breathe.

Enveloped in liquid, the old count was startled. He opened his mouth to speak but only exhaled bubbles. He also inhaled a lot of life force through his mouth and nose, but it was quickly broken down by the life force field and did not cause any real damage.

But the panicked count was oblivious to all that; he waved his hand forcefully to signal his family to brush the liquid off his head.

Many of the offspring were so frightened that they retreated, and only a few dared to come before the Earl, reaching out to suppress their nausea and repeatedly grabbing and slapping the liquid in an attempt to remove it.

However, Maginus, who was free from all trouble, wouldn't let that happen. She couldn't keep her face covered while fighting Marcus and the cult bishop, mainly because she needed to focus her attention on various aspects of the battle.

This sometimes caused the liquid to be pushed aside by hand, giving the opponent a chance to catch their breath. However, she doesn't need to focus on the battle now, as there is no other life force in the entire manor except underground.

The moment the liquid on the count's head was pushed away, it would immediately wrap around him again, literally giving him no chance to catch his breath. He gradually became suffocated, his face turning ashen, and he reached out his hand in an attempt to seek help.

However, there were no mages inside, so everyone could only watch anxiously. Maginus enjoyed the old count's desperate expression as he slowly breathed his last and died.

This was the only count she had dealt with in this way. The danger in the secret passages of the previous counts' manors was far less than that of this count's secret passage. Maginus was very curious about what kind of traps were hidden in the secret passage, but she never thought of trying it.

"Ah~, I hope you have a way to get out, otherwise you'll have to stay down there for a long time."

After the count breathed his last, Maginus chuckled and casually took out a tinderbox from her dimensional bag to light the magnificent curtains beside her. The flames gradually ignited, engulfing the curtains and spreading towards the wallpaper.

"Once the houses are reduced to ruins, how long do you think it will take before someone discovers this secret passage? Months? A year? Two years? Or even longer?"

Maginus addressed the terrified people in the room, threatening them: "After I left, guess who found you, political enemies or friends? Oh, I forgot, the Count is dead. Do you really have any value anymore?"

She clapped her hands lightly, pushed a huge and heavy box over the secret room, and after confirming that the people inside could not escape, she clapped her hands again, then turned and left, closing the door behind her.

A loud pounding sound came from underground, but Maginus ignored it and walked out of the large house engulfed in flames, turning his gaze to the very center of the Crystal Salt Kingdom.

It's already on fire there. I hope Lenya is alright.

With her legs bent and waist lowered, Maginus leaned back, her leg muscles tensed, and a bright red liquid life force appeared in front of her, blocking the airflow.

The girl launched herself into the air, leaving a trail of dust in her wake, and headed straight for the center.

"It looks like the situation isn't looking good."

When Maginus arrived at the palace after more than ten minutes, she saw that Benedict's forces had completely stormed the palace and were now invading the largest castle.

The battlefield was divided into countless parts, with many people engaged in chaotic fighting, sometimes even attacking their own teammates.

However, what she cared about most was the location of the explosion: a huge iron statue was currently fighting with an extremely strong man.

Having witnessed the battle between the Mind Flayer and the Gith Yankees, Maginus could tell from the intensity of their attacks that the statue and the man were likely also high-level beings. However, their combat performance was still somewhat lacking compared to the two figures in the mental dream.

Oh, and most importantly, the damage to the environment is disproportionate. The Gith Yankees and Mind Flayers can cause enormous damage to the environment with their psychic powers, but the statue and that warrior do not have that ability.

They were just throwing punches and kicks, although their strength was still far behind that of the two astral beings.

Turning her gaze back, Maginus looked up at the palace, which had not yet fallen, searching for Benedictus and Ronaldo. She soon spotted the two men facing off right in front of the palace.

This would be a good opportunity for her to pick the person up; she could easily take Lenya to a safe place before returning.

Maginus took out the small flute that Catherine had given her and blew it loudly. The sound attracted the attention of many people. Benedict and Ronald, who were facing off, also noticed her, but did not pay much attention to her actions.

As Lenya's personal guard, "Mine" simply wanted to protect Lenya as she left, and that it would be perfectly fine to find her after the battle here was over.

Hearing the sound, Catherine, who was hiding in the palace, immediately realized that Maginus had arrived, and carefully opened a crack in the window to peek outside.

After confirming that Catherine and Lenia had not changed rooms, Maginus looked at the chaotic scene and pondered how to take the two away. There were too many soldiers along the way, making it difficult to rescue them.

After much thought, she decided to use her fear to scare her her way out.

Chapter 214 Strange Phenomena

First of all, the high-ranking generals on both sides knew Lenya's identity and generally would not stop them from escaping the danger zone.

Secondly, even if the lower-ranking soldiers did not receive permission to pass and tried to stop her, Maginus could easily deal with them, but that would waste some time.

The only thing to watch out for is the stray arrows flying everywhere on the battlefield. It's not uncommon for arrows to accidentally kill high-ranking officials and generals, since not everyone has magical equipment to protect them.

The Fear Aura can clear a path the fastest. The lower-ranking soldiers have already been engaged in fierce fighting for one or two days, and their spirits are currently on edge. Any slight suppression will cause them to collapse.

After much deliberation, Maginus made a final decision: now she needed to figure out how to maximize the power of the Fear Aura. She was prepared to use blood to create things that would instill fear, just as she had done before.

What she feared most was... the complete will of the evil god within her spiritual dreams.

Recalling the hideous giant hand and the snarling skull, Maginus still felt a lingering fear and immediately decided to create a terrifying image based on that.

However, in that case, many people might already know that "Mine" is the offspring of an evil god.

Oh well, the more debts she has, the less she worries. Her identity will eventually be exposed, and people will eventually find out that Mine is Maginus. She's too lazy to hide the fact that she's the offspring of an evil god anymore.

Moreover, once the chain of identity of Maginus, the offspring of the evil god Mine, is established, those who participated in the siege will probably be thrown into panic.

After all, when others say you are the offspring of an evil god, possessing the power or potential to destroy a country, you'd better really be, and you'd better really have it.

Pulling her wandering thoughts back, the girl closed her eyes at the edge of the dangerous battlefield, recalling the appearance of the skull representing the will of the God of Slaughter. The surrounding red mist began to condense and take shape, and a portion of liquid life force slowly formed the basic shape of the skull.

Some of the mist drifted like flames, while others enveloped the image of the skeleton. A violent feeling still emanated from the gradually forming skeleton, and many soldiers felt an inexplicable pressure, subconsciously looking towards the edge.

Immediately afterwards, Maginus opened her eyes and charged into the chaotic battlefield, advancing with unstoppable momentum.

When the ordinary soldiers saw her, they didn't recognize her, so they instinctively surrounded her and tried to block her advance.

Watching the soldiers rushing towards her, she didn't hesitate to let the red mist that was covering her dissipate, and at the same time activated the Aura of Fear.

A terrifying aura!
