The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

As she raised her hand to touch her newly grown belly, just as she thought of this, the situation on the field began to race toward the outcome that Maginus most desired.

The two sides were like standing on the same narrow bridge, with no way to retreat when they met on a narrow path. Benedict and Ronaldo looked at each other and quietly prepared for their final blow.

Benedict was the first to move. He leaped toward Ronaldo with his veined legs. As Ronaldo watched the flying demon, he suddenly raised his hand and aimed at him in the air. The bracelet on his wrist lit up once again.

It's not just a prop for remotely controlling a steel golem; it also stores a spell.

The art of giving orders!

"Get down on the ground!"

A powerful surge of magic flashed, and Benedict felt a sharp pain in his head, causing him to fall uncontrollably towards the ground. Normally, the command spell would hardly work on someone with such a strong will as him.

However, prior to this, his soul had suffered severe and repeated damage, making it difficult for him to resist the control of magic.

Benedikt fell from the sky, and Ronaldo breathed a sigh of relief. But at that moment, Benedikt used the last bit of his autonomy to clench his fist tightly.

Flying high five!

Although he was frozen by the spell at the last moment, the distance was already enough for Benedict to cast a spell, and the ring he had been hiding under his gauntlet lit up.

A massive force field suddenly appeared in front of the relaxed Ronaldo. He hurriedly raised his hand to block, but the force still broke his hand bones and landed on his chest.

Ronald was sent flying, the breath he had been holding in his chest was released, and he lay on the ground, trying several times to get up but failing. He could only lie on the ground to try to recover some strength.

Both of them lay motionless on the ground. If there were no one else around, it would be a race against time.

Once the spell on Benedict is lifted, he will be able to kill Ronaldo; once Ronaldo regains his strength to take up his sword and attack Benedict, he will be able to kill him.

Chapter 220 Revealing Identity

Whether Benedict or Ronaldo wins depends on the timing, but... there are more than just the two of them present.

Seeing that the two men were lying motionless on the ground, some hidden figures began to approach them. There were demons, devils, thieves, and assassins.

They had been drawn here long ago, but hadn't dared to show themselves. Now, seeing the two of them lying on the ground, unable to move, some thoughts that shouldn't have arisen in their minds.

However, just as they were preparing to sneak up and find a way to deal with their competitors, a crimson mist quickly enveloped the area, and an unparalleled sense of fear instantly descended upon everyone!

A terrifying aura!

"roll."

A word clearly reached everyone's ears. Demons and devils were the first to flee, as they could sense the terror emanating from the voice's owner. Thieves and assassins hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to leave.

The red mist was so obstructive that they weren't sure if they could survive inside it.

Unlike them, when Benedict and Ronald saw the red mist and heard the familiar voice, they were filled with joy and shouted in unison, "Miss Mine! Come and help me kill him!"

After a single sentence, both stopped talking at the same time. The atmosphere in Ronaldo's room suddenly became extremely heavy. The two of them looked up at each other with difficulty, and the prince saw Benedic's sinister smile.

"Hahahaha! You never expected this, did you, Ronald Faston! Count Elliott already knew about your and that old man's plans. Before Lenia arrived, he had already secretly allied with me!!"

Benedic, pinned to the ground, laughed heartily, clearly convinced that "Main" would help him. Ronaldo's heart sank, but he still tried to struggle, hoping to get "Main" on his side:

“Mine, don’t you want to become a nobleman and break free from Elliott’s control? Kill Benedict now, and I swear to the Light of the End, I can make you a count!”

"You think a title alone can make people risk their lives for you?" Benedict sneered, convinced of his victory. "Mine, kill him quickly, lest things escalate."

A whooshing sound came from within the red mist as a mental blade slashed through Ronaldo's chest, and blood began to flow out.

Just as Benedict was about to smile, to the surprise of both of them, a mental blade flew out and left a wound on Benedict's chest!

"Yes, to avoid any unforeseen complications, you two should both die here."

Maginus's indifferent voice rang out, the mist slowly dissipated, and the girl stood at a safe distance, watching the two with a smile on her face and in her eyes.

After a moment of stunned silence, Benedict yelled, "What are you doing!"

"Don't you understand? You two have been wiped out. The one who devoured you was Elliott Silvers, and he's probably already starting to annihilate your army."

With no one around, the confident girl immediately revealed Elliott's identity. Upon hearing this, both brothers were stunned, with Benedict being particularly incredulous.

Recalling his journey to the City of Gold and Silver, he gritted his teeth, his anger fully ignited, but it was nothing more than a powerless rage.

The connection to the bottomless abyss doesn't allow him to become stronger when he's dying. His transformation into a demon was interrupted before, and now that he's in a weakened state, it's even less likely that he'll undergo a metamorphosis. He's exhausted all his life force, so what can he use to transform?

Just in case, Maginos was even bleeding the two of them, fearing they might survive.

"Heh, how ridiculous. So the prophecy hasn't changed after all? Hey, when exactly did Elliott's plan begin?"

Ronald smiled despairingly. Maginus looked at their expressions with satisfaction, noting that they had captured some of his spirit back then, but unfortunately, they were still slightly lacking.

Maginus slashed her hand with the psychic blade, then sat down in front of some ruins, looking at the two dead men, and stretched, saying:

"It was probably when Gold and Silver City was threatened. By the way, let's not talk about Elliott anymore. Let's talk about the three of us instead. Your Highness, Earl, did you know that I'm actually not one of Elliott's men?"

Benedict was still struggling to get up, and to prevent Maginus from inflicting further wounds on him, he pretended to look over with curiosity.

Despite his apparent despair, Ronaldo quietly regained his strength, still harboring thoughts of counterattack, and also looked at the girl to buy time.

Maginos nodded in satisfaction, raised her hand and rubbed her cheeks repeatedly, saying as she did so:

"Hey, I actually came from Nesery about half a year ago. I became Lenia's bodyguard by chance. Before that, I actually had another name, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine..."

Erasing the traces of psionic alteration and restoring her facial features to normal, Maginus moved her hands away, revealing an even more beautiful face, and said with a light laugh:

"The remnants of the Nesery royal family are too weak, so they came to seek revenge on you first. Oh, although I didn't actually put in much effort during the whole revenge process, I did manage to kill a few enemies, didn't I? I'm happy as long as I'm happy."

Looking at that somewhat familiar face, the two young men suddenly remembered everything. Ronald was truly shocked this time and uttered the girl's name.

“Magnus Imperius, how could you possibly be here?”

Both Benedict and Ronald have obtained portraits of Maginus. Many people possess information about her. She is the most beloved youngest daughter, the jewel of Nesser. Because she is pampered, she is relatively weak but has a very kind heart.

When news came that she was missing but not dead, no one paid any attention. They thought she was just an orphan of the royal family, and that she would either be killed or captured by Inser. The best outcome would be that she would find a place to live in seclusion.

At different times, both Benedict and Ronaldo lamented the princess's beauty and the hardships of her fate, expressing their regret for her.

Who could have predicted that, just a year later, fate would take a sharp turn for the worse, and it would be them who were brought down from their dreams? When the missing girl reappeared before them, she had completely changed, becoming insane, ruthless, and bloodthirsty.

That's exactly the expression I wanted~~~……

Seeing their genuine shock, Maginus smiled broadly and tossed each of them a psychic blade as a reward.

Enduring the pain, Benedict asked in disbelief, "Aren't you a sorcerer? Why have you become like this?"

"Oh, that's a question. Let me think about how to answer it."

She tossed the psychic blade in her hand, aiming it at Benedict's throat, her smile bright, her eyes filled with madness: "Of course, it's because the Allied Forces' excuses are all true!!"

Benedict threw the psychic blade from his hand. He stared at the short sword, which seemed to him to be moving very slowly. He tried to get up and dodge, but he couldn't. He could only helplessly let the psychic blade pierce his throat, and his remaining life was drained away at an accelerated rate.

Chapter 221 Looting

The blade pierced his throat and disappeared. Benedict tried to use his muscles to stop the gushing blood, but it was no use. Fatal weaknesses are not so easy to block.

Maginus raised her hand and continued to absorb the gushing blood, which slowly transformed into life force. The girl still showed no intention of getting close to Benedict, standing at a distance and slowly eroding Benedict's remaining life force.

Turning to look at Ronald, she did the same thing again, throwing a psychic blade at Ronald's heart to hasten his death.

After being easily shot in the heart, Ronaldo lay on the ground, immediately realizing that he was destined to die there today.

Recalling what Maginus had said, his breath grew weaker and weaker, and he couldn't help but say, "So, you really do have the blood of an evil god within you."

"Otherwise, why do you think I've been able to live until now? Is it because of my unwavering will and tenacious spirit?"

Maginos countered, feeling a sense of satisfaction as she watched the two men die at her hands, quietly awaiting their demise.

In the time that followed, Benedic continued to struggle. Ronaldo, seeing that Maginus was standing far away and that he had no chance of attacking her, completely lost the will to fight and awaited his death.

As time passed, Ronald, the human, was the first to die. The flame of life within his body gradually died out, and the remaining life force and even soul energy were completely swallowed by Maginus to prevent him from being resurrected later.

Next to die was Benedict. In his final moments, freed from the magical restraints, he suddenly raised the spear beside him and hurled it at the girl, launching his final attack.

Unfortunately, the distance was too great, which gave Maginus enough time to react. She dodged Benedict's final blow by sidestepping.

Benedict, in his final burst of energy, delivered his last blow and collapsed to the ground, his body and even his soul drained away by the girl, just like Ronaldo's.

What she told the old king did come true; the two brothers did not die from killing each other, which could be considered a different way of breaking the prophecy and curse.

As Maginus watched the two patches of ash on the ground being gradually blown away by the wind, he fell silent. The smile on his face disappeared, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"The joy lasted only a short while before I felt empty. It's true that the sense of revenge from killing such a minor enemy isn't very satisfying."

The girl muttered to herself, the name of the organization that killed her family flashing through her mind. The confusion in her eyes disappeared instantly, and a fierce smile reappeared on her face.

Maginus walked towards the location where Benedict and Ronald's bodies were, gathered up their magical equipment, and also found the dimensional bags that the two had dropped during the battle.

After searching for a while, she found many things that she could use, which made her very happy.

First of all, there was a large spell scroll. The reason why the two of them had difficulty using the scroll during their previous battle was that the action of taking the scroll out of the dimensional bag and tearing it open was too cumbersome. If they did not keep their distance, they could easily be killed.

Secondly, there are their accessories: necklaces, rings, and belts. Even if the necklaces and rings are too big for Maginot to wear, she can still hold them in her hand and use them, or simply hide them in her bosom when not in use.

As for the belt, its tightness can be adjusted. Although it doesn't quite match Maginos's appearance, it's not a big deal and can be used.

Furthermore, the dimensional bags they both use are larger than the dimensional bag that Maginus currently uses, which was given to him by the paladin Wright. From now on, Wright's dimensional bag can be used to store important items in his pocket, while theirs can be hung outside.

As for the remaining potions and books, Maginus will continue to categorize them later. Those that can be sold can be sold, and those that can be used can be kept.

There are also many things here that are not useful; the armor and weapons for two people are not very suitable for Maginus.

Their weapons and armor bear their family crests. If one wants to dispose of their family crests without damaging the magical structure, one would need to find a spellcaster who can forge magical items to reforge them.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a spellcaster; the dwarven blacksmith might have other methods, but neither of the two Maginus could be found.

After briefly looking through the spoils left by Benedic and Ronald, the girl subconsciously glanced in the direction of Lenia, clenched her fists, but ultimately did not go to see her. Instead, she packed her things and headed towards the exit.

Walking through the chaotic streets and alleys, Maginus, having adjusted her appearance, observed everything around her, showing no intention of causing trouble or helping others.

Some people, however, had other thoughts about coming over because of her appearance, but were terrified by the aura of fear and fled.

She naturally dealt with these clueless thugs or thieves by throwing out her mind-blades, which didn't take much time or effort.

And so, Maginus slowly approached the gate. The chaos at the city gate had long since subsided. The people dressed in the uniforms of the city guards looked somewhat familiar to her, and she clenched her fists, ready to make her move at any moment.

No wonder we haven't seen Jess and the others. It turns out they came to seize the city gate, definitely to make it easier for people to come in and out later.

"Hey, aren't you really going to see Miss Lenya?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind. Maginus turned around and saw Jess dressed in the uniform of the city guard.

Jess didn't show much killing intent, and didn't even ask if Ronald and Benedic were dead, or if she had completed what she was supposed to do.

Oh, you can tell from the two extra dimensional pouches on her waist, since Maginus didn't have those two dimensional pouches before.

"I'm not going. I suppose Elliott wouldn't want someone like me near his daughter, so he didn't send you to kill me?"

Maginus was also staring at Jess at this moment, and the atmosphere between the two seemed a bit tense. The soldiers belonging to Jess by the city gate hesitated whether to step forward when they saw this scene.

The captain raised his hand to stop everyone, then shook his head at the girl: "No, after all, you might be the offspring of an evil god, and the Earl doesn't want to cause himself any great trouble."

Upon hearing Jess's words, Maginus remained noncommittal, opened her dimensional bag, and took out some items that she was originally going to sell anyway.

Gazing at the glittering magical armor, even the usually serious Jess couldn't help but swallow hard, giving Maginus a questioning look: "Our relationship doesn't seem to warrant you giving me something so expensive."

"Do you have anything I can use? I can trade these spoils with you for them, selling them to you at the lowest possible price."

End of Chapter 222

Benedict and Ronaldo's armor was so eye-catching that Maginus thought it best to sell it here.

Upon hearing the girl's words, Jess hesitated for a moment, then walked to the side as if to contact Elliott. Maginus, on the other hand, showed no intention of running away and waited quietly in place.

Jess quickly returned, carefully took a scroll from his dimensional bag, and handed it to Maginus. The girl was quite surprised when she opened it.

This is an escape scroll that can instantly teleport up to thirty people to a safe location twenty kilometers away without needing to lock onto the location or check for obstacles.

That's right, this is a foolproof spell scroll for instantly escaping danger, ensuring the survival of Lenya, Jess, and the others in the capital.

Elliott seemed prepared for failure, but even he didn't expect things to go so smoothly; the scroll was never even used.

"This is only enough to exchange for one piece of equipment at most; the price difference is just too much."

Putting away the scroll, Maginus casually tossed Benedict's breastplate to Jess. Noticing his drooling expression towards the other equipment, the girl thought for a moment and decided to give him a friendly price:

"If you want anything else... give me your magic necklace, magic ring, all your money, and everything else you may have."

Upon hearing this, Jess grinned, not because he was reluctant to part with his old junk, but simply because he was happy. He quickly handed over everything that Maginus could use to her.

After receiving the items, the girl casually handed Benedict and Ronald's magical equipment to Jess, glanced back at the direction of the capital, and then handed the bracelet to Jess with some regret.

"This is a bracelet for controlling the golem. I don't know if anyone other than Faston can use it, but you can give it a try."

Looking at the bracelet, Jess didn't take it, waving his hand and saying, "This is unnecessary. The Iron Golem was destroyed by the eruption of Katherel before, and Katherel seems to have fled the capital."

Upon hearing this news, Maginus, who was no longer related to the Crystal Salt Kingdom, showed little emotional reaction. She put away her bracelet, walked past Jess, and headed towards the city gate.
