As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

Som looked at the fire in the distance and immediately understood.

The only one in the kingdom that can produce fire magic of that level is...

Sure enough, Agnes was acting!

However, Som, who had anticipated this, was not too panicked.

With the artifact in hand, they can hold out for a while, which is enough time for the rebels to withdraw.

But.......

The intelligence about this artifact is known to more than just the rebels.

"Lord of Darkness, let your dark will descend upon this land again!"

The eerie sound echoed in the valley.

Following the sound, I saw a strange skeleton hovering in the air. A hand full of white bones slowly stretched out, and a dark barrier enveloped the entire valley.

You can only enter, not exit!

"That's... the Immortal! Damn it!!"

After seeing this scene, Som finally understood everything.

I was fooled! I was completely fooled!

From the very beginning, when Agnes came to him, he had completely fallen into the trap set by Morning Star.

Not only him, but also Precier beside him came to his senses.

Without the Kingdom's troops, the tyrant was planning to put Agnes inside the resistance army...

A one-sided massacre.

Doesn't that mean that at the border of the kingdom...

As expected of the Saint's confidant, Precier understood everything in just a moment.

The tyrant doesn't just want to target the rebels, his real target is... their Dawn Kingdom!

No! We must find a way to get the message back!

"Do you have a way to break this barrier? As long as you can let me leave alone!"

Presil contacted the demon in her body and after receiving a positive answer, she took advantage of the commotion and carefully ran to the border on the other side of the barrier.

but.......

When Precier arrived in front of the barrier, a figure had been waiting there for a long time.

"Are you sure? Lilith?"

Morning Star stood at the border of the barrier and looked at Preciel in front of him with a smile.

Now that the fish has taken the bait, it’s time to start pulling in the net.

Chapter 72 Commander Ye Yue, aren’t we companions?

On the outskirts of the rebel army, swords continued to draw blood. Even though his cloak had already been stained red, Ye Yue had no intention of stopping.

Voices begging for mercy and shouting continued to reach my ears.

"Captain Hazuki? Why? Aren't we... companions?"

The members of the resistance army, even Ye Yue's most loyal subordinates, looked at Ye Yue in disbelief as he looked like a killing god.

We had clearly agreed to overthrow the kingdom together and welcome a better tomorrow together.

Is everything fake? Has Ye Yue been deceiving everyone all along?

The so-called friendship, the so-called companions...

all fake?

"Companions? The remnants of the kingdom, just seeing them makes me...disgusted!!"

"Kingdom? Commander Hazuki! Are you crazy?? I am......"

Before he could finish his words, the sword had already pierced the man's chest.

Looking at the weapon stained with blood, Ye Yue even felt a little... numb.

These scum of the kingdom, murderers who killed their own relatives and trampled on innocent people...

There seemed to be a voice whispering in Ye Yue's ears, reminding her.

Kill them all, kill everyone in sight.

For the sake of my dead relatives and companions, kill everyone! Everyone!!!

The originally beautiful face was now covered in blood, and even a little... distorted.

Without any hesitation, Ye Yue continued to move among the resistance forces.

Every move and every sword is reaping the lives of the people in front of him.

In her eyes, all these people are the same, they are all scum, demons, and the culprits who trample on life.

He even completely forgot that what he was doing at this moment was no different from the executioner he hated the most.

"Ye Yue!! Are you crazy???"

Som came to the front and looked at the scene in front of him with surprise in his eyes.

He had considered the possibility that Agnes had defected deliberately. In his opinion, the only hidden danger that the resistance had to face was Agnes.

But at this moment, the people who are constantly slaughtering the rebels are...

Ye Yue?

Even Ye Yue...

wrong! !

Noticing Ye Yue's numb eyes, Som also reacted.

Was his mind affected by magic? Could it be...

Som looked around hurriedly and vigilantly, but could not find the most feared figure at all.

Until waves of murderous intent came from behind.

The sword blade fell straight down towards Som's neck.

The armor that was almost identical to the scene on the ground where blood had already flowed like a river suddenly appeared.

No one present reacted.

However, the scene of the corpse being separated did not appear.

Instead, the long sword in Agnes's hand, which had always been invincible, was blocked by an invisible barrier.

That is......

Agnes did not linger in the fight and immediately moved to a safe distance.

She kept in mind everything that Chenxing had said to her.

No matter how strong you are, you must always remain vigilant. After all, no one knows whether others may have some irresistible killing moves in their hands.

The more inconspicuous a presence is, the more cautious you should be!

Especially after witnessing the scene of Ye Yue being controlled...

Agnes would never allow herself to draw her sword against His Highness.

But that barrier...is the defensive artifact that Your Highness mentioned, right?

"Can you stop it? Then there's still a chance..."

Noticing that the barrier showed no signs of being broken, Som breathed a sigh of relief.

The legendary red-haired devil looks no more than this.

With this magical weapon in hand, perhaps I can also...

"Ye Yue, do you remember the defensive artifact in Morning Star's hand that I mentioned?"

Agnes was not at all panicked.

Not to mention that with her strength, a full-strength attack could barely break the barrier's defense.

but......

She also remembered His Highness's orders.

Hearing Agnes' words, Som was visibly panicked.

Could it be that......

Impossible! Even that Morning Star, my stupid brother, didn't even know that this artifact existed!

"Tyrant! This blood debt! You must pay with your blood!!!"

Ye Yue said, slowly extending one hand.

Before the operation began, the general once said.

In the tyrant's hand was a defensive artifact that could even block her full-strength attack.

But that artifact can also be removed through a spell.

However, during the battle, if I get distracted, I might be at a disadvantage. So according to the general's wishes, I plan to... become the "hero" of this crucial blow!

"Merciful angel of the temple, your dazzling holy light is so impressive..."

Ye Yue's voice came slowly, and made Som completely panicked.

This spell, which he had already memorized by heart, was actually uttered by someone else.

How could it be! How could it become like this!!

"Ye Yue!! Wake up!! This is the rebel camp!!!"

Som roared hysterically, and rushed towards Ye Yue with his weapon clenched tightly in his hand.

This can't happen! This can't happen!

The opportunity for a comeback that I had worked so hard to prepare for! The opportunity to return to the throne that should have belonged to me!

Can't fail here!!

Even Morning Star himself didn't show up and it failed!

I don’t admit it! I don’t admit it! I am obviously the most legitimate heir to the throne!

Obviously I am the best one!!

However, there was absolutely no chance of that red armor being shaken!

There is absolutely no chance of...getting close!

Lost! Lost!

How could this happen? How could this happen? I should be the winner...

"With the will of salvation, those glorious wings, protect us!!"

"Do not!!!"

The unwilling roar echoed in the camp.

But no matter how unwilling they are, a loser is always a loser in the end.

The moment the barrier dissipated, Som tried desperately to escape, escape from here, escape from reality!

He refused to admit his failure! He refused to admit that he would lose to Morning Star.

Obviously... Obviously...

"Die! You beast!!"
