Chapter 2196: Chapter 1224: The Shining Hall and New Allegiance
“Salutations, Your Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, we are grateful to Your Highness for saving the entire Human World and rescuing the Saint Night Kingdom!”
A timid voice arose, and the young New Holy Night King trembled, falling to his knees before Leo Ray.
This kneeling act instantly stirred an uproar among the densely packed princes and nobles around.
One must know that as one of the seven mighty powers of the Human World, the Saint Night Kingdom has stood on this land for a millennium, producing many talents, brilliant generals, and countless battles.
During the times when war raged, though there were defeats, the Saint Night Kingdom has never lowered its proud head to anyone.
Yet now, their supreme King has relinquished his scepter, lowered his crown, and knelt before a youth from another world, making it unimaginably despairing.
However, upon further reflection, the nobles of Saint Night felt a sense of relief.
The youth from another world before them did not only single-handedly withstand attacks from five routes of the Destructive Grand Army, but also, with the assistance of the Alchemist Guild and Mercenary Guild, led strong warriors into the never-occupied Light Sanctuary’s Main Temple, ultimately eradicating the threat to the Human World and even saving the lives of everyone present amidst countless roots.
Such an epic and astonishing achievement indeed warrants any monarch of the Human Clan to kneel and sing praises of this unparalleled triumph.
Realizing this, the nobles who ruled the Saint Night Kingdom could not help but mimic the action, prostrating at Leo Ray’s feet, saying in unison: “Thank Your Highness for saving the entire Human World and rescuing the Saint Night Kingdom!”
“It’s not a big deal, merely a matter of convenience.”
Leo Ray’s calm gaze swept over the princes and nobles, finally resting on the trembling New Holy Night King at his feet, saying indifferently: “Please rise, for not long ago, the Grand Army of the Saint Night Kingdom nearly laid waste to my Territory, and I cannot bear such a grand gesture from you all.”
Hearing Leo Ray’s profound words, everyone’s heads drooped even lower, not daring to truly lift them.
“Everyone, since His Royal Highness Prince has spoken, we should not keep His Royal Highness waiting for long.”
After a while, until Teresa’s voice broke the silence, the New Holy Night King and nobles tremulously got to their feet, with the hall still silent as the grave.
Leo Ray looked at the New Holy Night King standing before him again, a scrutinizing glint in his eyes.
The other appeared as a noble young lord, with a handsome appearance carrying a hint of timidness and helplessness. Indeed, as rumored, a weak new king without a stance.
“However, precisely because of this personality, he gave me the time to develop and not confront the Destructive Grand Army of the Saint Night Kingdom when lacking strength.”
As Leo Ray thought of this, Teresa’s introduction sounded: “Your Highness Prince, this is our Saint Night Kingdom’s New King Willy.”
Before Leo Ray could speak, New King Willy promptly said: “Your Highness Prince, with your unmatched status and achievements revered across the Human World, you are a beacon for humanity to aspire to, so directly call me Willy without any honorifics.”
“Then I’ll speak frankly.”
Leo Ray didn’t hold back, nodding slightly: “Willy, although I’m eager to converse with you, there’s one more thing I must do first, which is to eliminate the last remnants of the evil source.”
“I believe you all are aware that despite the annihilation of the evil source, some remnants of the Black Abyss Brotherhood, who once aided its misdeeds, still linger among you, enemies of the Human Clan who must face due punishment.”
Leo Ray’s gaze grew sharp, saying coldly: “Let us begin.”
As Leo Ray’s words fell, before anyone could react, a vast energy surged around Little Jie, and a brilliant Golden Barrier rapidly expanded from her palm, instantly covering the entire hall.
The minions of the Malevolent Deity’s Chosen Son, including members of the Black Abyss Brotherhood, have been cursed to ensure secrets wouldn’t leak, and having been similarly cursed before, Little Jie is naturally most attuned to the energy waves of the Malevolent Deity’s Chosen Son.
This Golden Barrier can manifest the residual curse power of the Malevolent Deity’s Chosen Son once more.
Sure enough, as the splendid light of the Golden Barrier shone on the Saint Night princes and nobles, shadowy black mists suddenly appeared on some of the nobles like a revelation mirror.
In the blink of an eye, black mist rose from at least one-third of the Saint Night nobles, an alarming sight.
“Given the Grand Army and main nobles are trapped in the Eternal Sleep Canyon, I didn’t expect so many dark remnants still here.”
Teresa’s eyes turned grim, nodding to Leo Ray, saying: “Thanks to Your Highness Prince for rooting out these treacherous elements in the Saint Night Kingdom.”
“No need for thanks, it’s a mere trifle.”
Leo Ray slightly furrowed his brow, responding,
In the Coldflame Kingdom, because all the Corrupt Nobles were wiped out, he only found a minimal number of parasites during the recent trial of the Golden Barrier, whereas the sheer number in the Saint Night Kingdom is truly surprising.
“Your Highness Prince, leave the rest to me.”
