Novel Full Chapter 843: Love Is War
Under everyone’s continuous onslaught, the two War God Temple members could only defend passively. They continuously use [Invincible] to hold on.
“ARGHH!! Don’t underestimate War God!!” roared the holy knight in anger.
Unfortunately, his roar turns into deaf ears as Ian, Marko, and Mia do not give him any time to rest. His condition is miserable. His entire body is numb and no longer listening to him. A proof that his body has already reached the limit.
If it is not because of the [Invincible] divine skill, he may already feel inhuman pain as a warning sign. Furthermore, he also couldn’t get out of his situation.
Marko and Ian are covered with thick lightning elemental under the blessing of Axel. Every time the holy knight touches them, a strong lightning element will discharge on him. This lightning attack may not harm or cause him pain, but it still numbs his body.
Combined with Mia’s strange fire, which is hot and freezing, it completely restricts his body movement. Usually, this situation is only momentary, as his body contains high-grade mana and divine energy.
However, the continued attack prolongs the numbing and chilling effect. By the time the holy knight notices, his body is no longer listening to him.
*Clink* *Clink* At this moment, a series of chains appear out of nowhere and chain him down [Soul Chain].
“Arrghh!! Untie me!! How dare you restrict the servant of God!!” roared the holy knight madly.
Unfortunately, his struggle is futile as the chain completely restricts him and Millie’s [Soul Chain] has near indestructible properties. It will become an ultimate binding skill if it is not for its slow movement.
With one of the holy knights completely restricted, the fate of the war drum holy knight was also decided. With everyone continuing to attack, Millie also gets another opportunity to bind him using her [Soul Chain].
At this moment, everyone couldn’t help but marvel at Millie’s soul skills. Her skill is truly a miracle. Once someone is chained down by her [Soul Chain], they will never be able to escape.
In the meantime, the goatman observes the battle silently without any care about the rainy storm or the battle aftermath. He feels like he is looking at the wonder of nature and the habits of animals. (A/N: It is like looking at animal behavior on a wildlife TV channel.)
Seeing the calm goatman, Otebon and Isvel are glad the mysterious beastman is not hostile toward them. They know this person is very powerful through previous power and may reach the seventh-grade level. Such a person could easily annihilate them in just a few moments.
“Thank you for your help, Your Excellency. May I know who you are and why you are coming to the Heart Kingdom?” asked Otebon politely.
“It’s okay. All of this is the arrangement of fate. Those things are abominations beyond nature. Those foolish Gods really like to play with something dangerous.” said the Goatman.
“Anyway, my name is Capricorn. I am looking for twin black-haired girls. They may like to play pranks and do mischievous things, but they are good girls. So, Did you know about a rumor about unnatural bad luck happening in one place?” added the goatman.
Meanwhile, the Twin Gemini notices something while singing and dancing inside the Frostfall castle. They immediately start chanting and dancing faster than before. The busy Extalia notices their subtle change in behavior from the side.
“Gemin, Gemis, what’s wrong?” asked Extalia gently.
“The evil.”
“Pervert.”
“Old Fart.”
“Degenerate.”
“Goaty.”
“Is coming.” said the twin Gemini.
“*Sigh* Don’t worry about it. Nothing will happen to you,” said Extalia, knowing the twin Gemini’s meaning.
She knows each star spirit has a complicated relationship with the others. The twin star Gemini has a very hostile relationship with the Star Spirit Capricorn. Extalia already heard from King Leon that Capricorn is actually one of the affable and sociable among the star spirits.
In fact, Capricorn is King Leon’s second choice of Star Spirit. King Leon would have chosen Capricorn as the Star Spirit to meet if it had not been for the rumor about his devil-binding contract test.
Star Spirit Capricorn is famous for being the most amicable and sociable of the others. However, this doesn’t mean he is the most harmless. Behind this amicable nature lay a very cunning nature.
Every participant who meets him will be forced to sign a soul-binding contract to pass the test. Among the star spirits, his test seems to be the easiest to pass, but the consequences are the heaviest.
No one knows the content of the soul-binding contract. However, every participant who signed it will have a miserable end. The Udrary Archive even warns never to sign any contract with Star Spirit Capricorn.
This is also why King Leon did not choose this amicable star spirit. With this previous record about Capricorn, King Leon and Duchess Amberblaze didn’t worry too much about him.
“But, he is a pervert.”
“Old fart”
“Hateful!!” said the twin Gemini.
“Err…. Come to think of it, why were you so hostile about him? I hear he is quite sociable to people, except for his deadly contract.” asked Extalia.
Hearing this sentence, the Twin Gemini look at each other before answering.
“Tarus said the old fart likes to eat children.”
“Aku also said the old goaty is a pervert.”
“Libby also said he is the devil.” said Gemis.
“The devil.” repeated Gemin.
Hearing the twin star spirit say these words, Extalia felt like tending to an innocent twin girl who had just been fooled by others. She may have thought the twin girls were just playing around if not for their serious hollow creepy eyes and smiles.
Still, with their mischievous nature, Extalia knows the twins may have exaggerated. In the end, Extalia could only coax the twin to calm down and not create a hurricane storm.
Extalia has heard some thunderstorms across the border during the past few days. Some experts said this may be caused by the change in the Everwhite region. However, Angus calculates the change should not be too significant unless it is the changing season over the next few years.
Extalia and King Leon suspect the twin Gemini caused these thunderstorms with their continued chanting and dancing. Although the storm didn’t cause too much disturbance or damage, Extalia still worried that the twin suddenly called a bigger and more destructive storm.
After coaxing the twin, Extalia returns to tend to the stacked paperwork on the desk. There are many things to do for the Everwhite migration. Duke Jacob and Duchess Amberblaze need to work overtime to avoid any future trouble.
Thinking about the Everwhite, the Duchess couldn’t help but remember the conversation with Ex-archduke Patimura not too long ago.
“My blessing?” asked the old Patimura.
“Yes. I hope you, as an elder, could bless our relationship and love.” said Extalia nervously.
Seeing the nervous Duchess, the old Patimura could only shake his head.
“*Sigh* I told your father and Alaster that you are a better candidate for the current Empress. Alas, your father is too stubborn to listen,” said Patimura.
“Then… Will you…” said Extalia.
“Duchess Amberblaze…” called Patimura sternly.
“I know your relationship with Leon is stronger and purer than the current Empress. I don’t mind if you openly reveal your relationship since it is the privilege of the strong King. No one could question the King about their personal relationship.”
“This has been an unwritten rule since ancient times. If Leon had dozens of women, no one would have said anything about him. However, if you want me to bless your relationship, it is simply impossible.”
“B-But…” said Duchess Amberblaze.
“*Sigh* Extalia, this is not only about your personal relationship. It is also about the kingdom’s face, tradition, and etiquette. I don’t think I need to teach you about this stuff since you two should know this better than me,” said Patimura before walking away.
“Elder Patimura, wait…” called Duchess Amberblaze.
“You said I was better as a candidate for the Empress. Does that mean I could get married with… ‘him’ if he becomes the King?” said Duchess Amberblaze.
The old Patimura didn’t answer and only stared at the Duchess with dead fish eyes.
“…Duchess Amberblaze, why did you think Leon fought so hard during the civil war? Even if it is only a small chance, that stupid boy will never let others get you.” said Patimura before walking away, leaving the stunned Duchess alone.
Hearing this, Duchess Amberblaze finally understood King Leon and his deep love for her. She never expected the cold-hearted King to fight so hard just to prevent his blood brother from having a chance to marry her.
During the previous civil war, the Empress was still not fixed until the corrosion. At that time, the current Empress Dahlia was already in a contract marriage with Leon. However, Leon’s brother and competitors are still available without a contract marriage.
Suppose his brothers or other competitors win the throne. In that case, Extalia may be chosen to become their Empress.
Knowing King Leon’s hard choice despite not getting her, Extalia could only lament their fate before looking at the silver bracelet in her hand with a deep sigh. During this moment, the twin Gemini peeks at the Duchess silently from the table corner.
Noticing the twin stare, the Duchess could only smile sheepishly before calling the twin Gemini.
“Redhead is sad?” said Gemis.
“Is it because of Stony Face?” said Gemin.
“It’s okay. I am fine.” Extalia patted the twin Gemini’s heads.
