Chapter 690: Night City: Who Said I Used Magic?
Chapter 690: Night City: Who Said I Used Magic?
In the Embassy Palace of the Midgar Capital, the King of Olyana sits upright on his chair, his gaze empty as he looks at Roze, who kneels before him, and Night City, who stands beside her. In a voice devoid of emotion, the king asks, "Roze, is this the person you spoke of?"
Despite the odd state of her father, Roze eventually nods and replies, "Yes, he is the one I mentioned.
Night City Omega, like my sister, attends the Mage Swordsman Academy. Not only did he repel demons in the capital, but during the Goddess's Trial in the Holy Land, he summoned the spirit of Olivier, one of the Three Heroes.
Most importantly, my sister and Night City have mutual feelings for each other, so please forgive me for not agreeing to the marriage arranged by Father for me."
As Roze speaks, the King of Olyana remains unmoved, but Daim Kemhart, standing behind her, gradually contorts his face in anger.
Dressed in a red gown, he appears like a gentleman, but compared to Night City beside him, he falls short in terms of demeanor, appearance, and age.
However, as Roze's original fiance, Daim cannot bear to be rejected in front of everyone. He values his pride!
"Princess Roze, it seems you don't understand. As the princess and sole heir to the Olyana throne, you do not have the right to be capricious.
Not to mention that our engagement is by the King's command. As far as I know, the person you brought is merely a border baron from the Midgar Kingdom.
How could a country noble like him be worthy of you, the only princess of the Olyana Kingdom?"
As Daim speaks, Roze is about to retort, but unexpectedly, the ministers on both sides express similar thoughts.
"Roze... Daim is not wrong. Regarding your marriage, leave it all to Daim to handle."
Hearing her father's words, Roze's face shows disbelief, unable to fathom that her father would say such things.
"Father, I..."
"Roze, there's no need to say more. Can't you see? It seems the King is no longer in control of himself.
Although I've heard that your Olyana Kingdom is known for its art, I never imagined it to be so decadent that even the King could become a puppet in someone's hands."
When Night City first entered the palace, he had already sensed something amiss.
Sharing the Demon Slayer Night City's breathing technique, he could smell a foul odor emanating from the air as soon as he entered the King's room.
Although this scent might be difficult for ordinary people to detect, Night City could clearly smell it, and it was coming from the King of Olyana before him.
Initially, Night City didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that perhaps the King had a unique preference for art and might be engaging in some form of performance art.
But after seeing the King's state, Daim, and the bribed ministers, Night City instantly understood the situation.
"Impudent fellow! How dare you speak disrespectfully to the King and insult our Olyana Kingdom.
Guards, guards! Quickly arrest this ruffian!"
Hearing Night City's words, Daim's face also reveals a hint of panic.
Indeed, the King of Olyana has been controlled by his drugs, and Daim cannot fathom how Night City saw through his seemingly flawless plan.
To be honest, even as the king's daughter, Princess Roz initially believed that the king was merely being held hostage.
According to Dameim's original plan, he intended to lure Princess Roz out by using the engagement and then reveal his true ambitions, prompting her to take action against him.
This way, he could issue a wanted notice for Princess Roz on charges of treason, and the entire Oliana Kingdom would fall under his control.
However, Dameim didn't expect that Princess Roz would bring a man with her, who instantly saw through his scheme.
As the Oliana Kingdom's knights rushed in, unarmed, Night City Omega showed no sign of panic. With a single-handed wave, a wall of flames emerged, blocking all the approaching knights.
"Hmph, you think you can escape now?"
As the knights were held back by the flames, Dameim clapped his hands, and the next moment, a red magic array appeared on the ground where Night City Omega and Princess Roz were standing.
Along with the magic array, tentacle-like objects emerged from underground and wrapped around their ankles.
To prevent Princess Roz from escaping, Dameim had made some preparations. If not for the fact that Princess Roz was a necessary character in the Diabloros Sect's plan, he might have even considered killing her.
As long as he controlled Princess Roz and fed her some drugs, she would become a puppet, just like her father.
As for Night City Omega, although the Diabloros Sect's higher-ups had told him to be cautious of this person, it seemed like there wasn't anything remarkable about him.
"Heaven Guard Foot—!"
Watching Princess Roz gradually being entangled by the crimson tentacles and losing her strength to struggle, Dameim's face lit up with excitement.
To be honest, Princess Roz had an alluring figure and looks, far surpassing her mother.
Although the Diabloros Sect placed great importance on this mission, as long as Princess Roz remained alive, he could toy with her a bit, right?
"Boom—!"
Just as Dameim indulged in his lewd thoughts, he suddenly felt the ground beneath him shake violently.
The next moment, he witnessed a scene that terrified him.
The central hall, which had just experienced an earthquake, now had a gigantic pit, and the magic array engraved on the ground was crushed under the foot of the man standing before him!
"This is impossible! The Blood Touch Curse is almost on par with forbidden spells!
Moreover, with this spell as a foundation, I even set up ancient artifacts around the room to suppress magical power."
Dameim spoke while turning to check the ancient artifacts behind him. Confirming that they were indeed functioning, he looked at Night City Omega in disbelief.
However, in the instant he turned, Night City Omega had vanished from his original position and appeared right in front of Dameim, grabbing his neck with one hand and lifting his body with a single hand.
"Nothing is impossible. My 'Heaven Guard Foot' just now didn't use any magical power.
Even if I wanted to use magical power, those counterfeit substandard ancient artifacts behind you couldn't suppress my magical power."
