Book 12: Chapter 128: Doubt (1)
In a corner of Yin City, members of the Nightwell Clan looked up, horror painted on their faces.
That was an Immortal Law realm expert. That was a man they didn’t dare to offend. That was a level of power they couldn’t hope to fight against. Yet in a single strike, such an expert only had a head left.
What was going on?
They were paralyzed by fear. In the face of such power, there was little to nothing that they could do.
There had been instances of such things happening in the past, where a storyline went off the rails and caused trouble that was nearly impossible to deal with. Those were usually the entries that had the highest casualty numbers. But, they never thought that they would be so unlucky to experience something like this for themselves.
Berolt’s expression changed several times. He himself had only just finally managed to enter the Immortal Law Realm, it was a secret he was incredibly proud of. Even his current old appearance was one he created using various tricks because the truth was that he had already regained the visage of a young man in his prime.
He already had many plans, one of which included uniting this star segment under the rule of his Nightwell Clan. In fact, he had already subjugated the Darkwell and Dimwell Clans. He had planned to launch an assault on the Vio Clan, but news of this immortal legacy world caused him to stall his attempt.
But, what he had never expected was that when he was feeling satisfied in his own strength and power, in the eyes of others… he was still nothing more than an ant.
Law walked through the air slowly.
By now, his white robes were completely drenched in blood. Whether it was due to the rain of gore the death of Acelin caused, or if it was due to the severed heads of his wife and father-in-law coating him, it was impossible to tell.
BANG!
The ground beneath the descended spear shattered and sunk down. It hadn’t even touched the earth, but the mere pressure of its attack left a gaping hole almost a kilometer across.
At that moment, the dungeons of Yin City collapsed followed by the eerie laughter of what could only be described as demons.
“FREEDOM! FREEDOM AT LAST! YOU BASTARD OF A CITY LORD, I’M COMING FOR YOUR HEAD!”
Shadows tore their way out from the collapsing tower. A large swath of them, seemingly maddened by their own countless years of solitude, blindly charged toward the City Lord mansion.
Many of them really were the devils of this world. Vicious creatures with the horns of dragons and covered from head to toe in sturdy scales of various colors. Others among them were part humanoid and part beast, having the torsos of beautiful women with undulating breasts but the legs and heads of spiders, or the lower bodies of men but the heads of wolves or lions, some even forewent organic body parts entirely and replaced their limbs with blades and other weapons.
Rather than living beings, they looked more like science experiments gone wrong.
However, not all of them were devils. Some of them were normal humans with eyes bloodied with rage. If one looked closely, many of them were famous figures of the past who had fallen into obscurity and then were imprisoned for one reason or another. It wasn’t until today that the common people came to understand that their city lord might have had some responsibility in what happened all those years ago.
Within the city lord’s mansion, City Lord Woo’s countenance was unsightly. Even if he had confidence in crushing this rebellion, quelling the masses would be a problem. There was a reason he was only a City Lord and not a King or Emperor like he wanted to be. Obviously, he had other worries that he had to deal with.
That said, not all of the escapees rushed toward the City Lord mansion, in fact, it could be said that the majority of them didn’t. The others rushed into the city with ghastly killing intent. Whether their goal was to run away during all the commotion, or if it was to start a bloody slaughter amidst the citizens of Yin City, either one likely wouldn’t be any good.
It was at that moment that the situation changed. It was simply impossible for the other factions to sit idly by while the government faction was leveled to the ground. The city had a delicate balance that needed to be maintained, or else everything would come crashing down.
Powerful auras surged out from the religious, underground, and military factions, causing Law’s path toward the city lord mansion to be cut off.
Many of them looked toward Law with complicated gazes, especially seeing how dull his eyes were with the heads of his wife and father-in-law in his arms.
“Law, turn back now and maybe this can still be remedied.” A general of the military faction took a step forward. While the underground faction had 108 butlers, the military faction had 108 generals. This general was ranked 3rd. It proved just how seriously the other factions were taking this.
At the same time, Butler 3 and Bishop 2 both took steps forward as well, clearly making their stances to protect the government faction obvious. At the same time, the other powerful figures who came with them surged downward to protect the city from the escapees.
“Will you move out of my way? Or will you die?” Law said plainly. –> <img src=’https://st.moonquill.com/avatar/129′ alt=”…” class=”avatar-img rounded-circle border border-4 border-body”> <h6 class=”header-pretitle”> Author’s Note </h6> <h1 class=”header-title”> Awespec </h1> <h3 class=”header-subtitle text-white”>I have just uploaded that last chapter of RMW to my patreon.
