Nils’ reasoning was simple. Although it seemed like Adelar held the absolute advantage, he was just building his own grave. There was no hope for victory. But to defeat him, her father would have to activate the worm and start his refining plans. Adelar would first perish. But what happened next? Once he started, would Olrich stop? Could he stop? Those were questions that none could answer. And the thought of her brother’s imminent demise led her to his gate. Alas, nothing she said could convince…-

The rumbling of Adelar’s voice alarmed the Holy Flame City’s denizens, and all forces’ attention fell onto the imperial palace. Saint-level experts locked their holy sense on the palace, eager to witness the events unfold. But strangely, as Adelar’s blood aura exploded alongside his holy force, though they could feel its tyrannical intensity, none could spot the demonic energy signature concealed within. ... Within the Holy Flame Church, the dowager, Amalia Kvass and the head exarch,…

Alongside Astarte, Konrad stepped into the room where the harem members he handpicked to follow him into the tower awaited with Yvonne’s other Pure Self. There, Jasmine, Iliana, Daphne, Faidra, Aliki, Freya, Zamira and Lena sat crossed legged in silent cultivation. Having seen the countless beauties that filled Konrad’s halls, Astarte was unalarmed and now understood why her makeover was necessary. Still, she was forced to admit that those who gathered within this room were a step above the…

While the Holy Flame Empire’s imperial palace experienced turbulent currents, on top of the Profound Sea Dynasty’s tallest monument, amidst a starry night, a couple jested under the moonlight. "What virtue! What morality! With such words, how can I decline?! Though it profoundly grieves me, I accept! As long as unrest plagues this land, my regency shall continue! And if eternity is what it takes for unrest to subside, then throughout eternity, I shall be regent!" "Bwahahahaha!"…

While the hundreds of mid-level officials hadn’t been subjected to the Phantasm Orchids, following Konrad’s mental orders, their families were all seized by the high-ranking officials’ forces. Therefore, all those pedantic scholars who usually swore by "righteousness,""order," and "the common people" now facilitated the glaring takeover. And as soon as the play ended, Konrad got to work. The former state rulers were forced to dispatch their treasuries’ reserves to the capital, using…

Peace finally returned to the night. But in that peace, dread still lingered. Unequal dread, that is. If both male and female denizens of the royal palace were terror-stricken by Konrad’s demonic powers and awe-inspiring might, at least the consorts and concubines had already "surrendered" in the night of debauchery. Therefore, they knew what to expect and weren’t as startled as the maids and eunuchs. Still, even Augusta was forced to admit that she’d not expected such a shocking display. Although…

Konrad’s appearance startled Ernst who’d not expected him to show up. At least, not so fast. With his crazed silver eyes staring directly into Konrad’s purple hues, and his index aimed at his face, Ernst proclaimed: "You?! How could it be you?! How could it not be?! Ernst supposes it was inevitable. Welcome!" Ernst then lowered his index, and his eyes shifted toward Yvonne who stood by Konrad’s side. "What beauty, what sex appeal, simply out of this world. With such a woman by your…

"Oh? If you’re that interested, you can touch, you know?" Following Yvonne’s words, Konrad replied with a playful smile, causing her to roll her eyes. "Considering how often I get to touch you, I have no need to show such eagerness. Pass." "A pity, such a wasted opportunity. Clearly, I have given you too much favor." Konrad lamented and stretched out his arms. Dark mist flew from his fingertips to wrap around the lingering souls of his twenty victims. The souls’ vacant eyes showed no…

"Conceited!" "Great elder, no need to waste time with that overconfident wastrel. To arms!" The one who spoke was an old man dressed in gold and blue cassock. He was the Water Temple’s conclave leader, a late-stage Fate Wrestling Saint, and Augusta’s father: House Meissner’s patriarch. Following his words, the great elder nodded and with a wave of his hand, summoned a blue ocean ruler while the rest of the twenty-two Saints formed a circle around Konrad. Activating his Origin Sight,…

As the saying went, servants often were at their master’s image. Hearing Konrad’s sinister words, Krann, and the tenth elder felt their chests filled with the need to shed blood. "Those old geezers will naturally take action before our departure, preferably within the palace to maximize their chances. Calculating timing, tonight is their most likely option. The two of you will lie in ambush by the Water Temple. If their Fate Wrestling Saints depart to join the von Gradl, you use the opportunity…
