Chapter 78: Demon Lord Projection Arrives

Palace banquet hall.

"These sneaky mice, how despicable!"

Feeling the increasing weakness of their own body.

The nobles present were well aware that they had fallen victim to a plot.

They immediately erupted with full force, unleashing their most powerful moves.

They wanted to eliminate all these black-robed figures before losing their ability to fight completely.

"Thunderous Slash!"

"Blade Storm!"

"Earth Fist!"

In an instant,

Various killing moves emanating powerful energy fluctuations were directed towards the black-robed figures.

Faced with such fierce counterattacks,

The dozens of black-robed figures did not dare to be negligent.

They immediately revealed their trump card - Demon Transformation.

The next second,

The bodies of these black-robed figures rapidly grew and transformed before the naked eye,

Ultimately turning into terrifying monsters standing eight meters tall, with dark red skin and sharp horns.

They exuded an endless aura of evil.

After completing their transformation,

The strength of these black-robed figures increased by more than tenfold.

They effortlessly withstood all the powerful martial arts techniques and killing moves.

Immediately after,

Evil spells were released by the monsters transformed from the black-robed figures.

"Profane Words!"

"Evil Aura!"

Under the fierce attacks of these monsters,

The nobles, who were already weakened by the plot, quickly couldn't hold on.

One!

Two!

Three!

In the blink of an eye, more than ten nobles were seriously injured.

Seeing the situation rapidly deteriorating,

King Lance could no longer sit still.

He immediately turned to his brother, Duke Norman, who was expelling toxins from his body using his qi, and ordered, "Norman, I need your help.

"Hurry up and kill these guys."

If a large number of high-ranking nobles die in the palace, the consequences would be extremely serious.

The entire Kingdom of Lance would be in turmoil because of this.

He absolutely cannot sit idly by and let this happen.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Norman did not refuse and nodded.

Although there was not much time, he was unable to expel the strange toxins from his body.

But he had successfully suppressed the toxins within him.

There would be no major obstacles in the short term.

There was no problem with taking action.

Just as Norman was about to make a move.

Prince Ruggus, who seemed to be frightened by the scene before him, suddenly erupted.

Revealing his Sky Knight-level strength.

He directly pierced Norman, who was completely unprepared, through the heart with a sword.

"Heh! Heh heh!"

Clutching the sword blade that pierced through his chest with both hands, Norman turned his head to look at Ruggus, his eyes filled with disbelief.

In the end, he couldn't even say a word before falling down.

"Ruggus! What are you doing?"

Seeing this scene, King Lance was both shocked and angry, angrily questioning.

And the eldest prince and the third prince beside him were also stunned.

"Father, haven't you understood yet?"

"This whole thing was planned by me."

"In order to seize the throne, I paid a great price and made a deal with the Lord of the Abyss."

"Uncle Norman wanted to interfere with my plan, so I can only send him to his death."

Flicking the blood off the long sword casually, Ruggus replied coldly.

"You traitor!"

"Do you want to destroy the Kingdom of Lance?"

Upon hearing this, King Lance became even more shocked and angry.

He never expected his youngest son to be so insane.

To seize the throne, he actually dared to make a deal with the Lord of the Abyss, who resides in the bottomless abyss!

You see,

The Lord of the Abyss in the bottomless abyss is one of the most evil creatures in the world.

Every time they invade the Roland Continent, they bring great disasters, causing a large number of lives to perish.

He can be considered the common enemy of all races in the Roland Continent.

Once the deal with the Demon Lord is discovered.

The Kingdom of Lance will definitely be collectively attacked by those legendary powerhouses of the righteous factions.

"Destroyed in an instant?"

"As long as the beginning and the end are handled cleanly, who would know that I have made a deal with the Demon Lord."

A strange green light flashed in Rogues' eyes, and he said indifferently.

He dared to do this, naturally having a comprehensive plan.

In the previous few trades with the Demon Lord, he exchanged a powerful force for himself and his subordinates using the souls of a large number of dead prisoners.

This time, in this operation.

He is prepared to harvest the souls of all the nobles present and offer them to the Demon Lord.

By eliminating the risk of exposing his own secrets and exchanging these high-quality noble souls for the blessings of the Demon Lord.

Seizing the opportunity to step into the legendary realm.

At the same time, all the senior nobles of the kingdom will die, creating an opportunity for him to consolidate power after ascending to the throne.

It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

"You... you..."

Upon hearing this, the King of Lance trembled with anger, but was helpless.

There is no way.

Now that his younger brother, Duke Norman, is dead, and other nobles have been targeted, they are powerless to resist the attacks of those demon monsters.

The situation has almost completely fallen into the control of this rebellious son.

Sure enough.

A few minutes later.

The banquet hall returned to calm.

All the nobles present lost their ability to fight and were controlled by those demon monsters.

"It's all over, father."

"Just relax later."

"Your souls will become the nourishment for me to step into the legendary realm."

"I will inherit your throne and make the Kingdom of Lance even stronger."

With a triumphant laugh, Rogues took out a green scythe emitting an ominous aura from his spatial ring.

Ready to harvest the souls of everyone present.

Just when everyone thought they were doomed.

Rennes took action.

After being involuntarily involved in this event, he had been pretending to be poisoned and observing the situation.

He thought it was just a royal power struggle for the throne.

The nobles present were just innocent bystanders.

Rennes, who didn't want to get involved in the power struggle, planned to stay out of it.

Who would have thought?

This tenth prince is so crazy that he wants to eliminate everyone.

Even their souls will be harvested.

There's no other way.

He doesn't want his neck to be cut by that strange sickle.

He can only send this tenth prince to his death.

Activate Qi.

Rennes uses his hand as a sword and slashes through the air.

Storm Slash!

The next second.

A thin, cyan sword energy instantly breaks through the air and attacks Rogus.

Who would have thought that Rennes, the hidden sixth prince, was still here.

Rogus, who was about to complete his final harvest, didn't even have time to react before his head was severed by this lightning-fast storm sword energy.

Blood gushes out from his neck like a spring.

Then, several holy light sword energies shoot out.

They kill all the demon monsters disguised as black-robed people.

"Th-this... this... this..."

Seeing the sudden and abrupt death of Rogus and the others, King Lance and the nobles were all stunned.

After coming back to their senses.

They were filled with joy at having survived the disaster.

"We're alive?"

"That's great!"

"We owe it to Duke Rennes this time, otherwise we would have been doomed."

Just when everyone thought it was over and was ready to express their gratitude to Rennes.

Rogus's body suddenly undergoes a tremendous change.
