Chapter 898: Gold and Black
Chapter 898: Gold and Black
"Renegades, who dares to send you to invade the sacred grounds of the King!"
"This act is an enemy of the Law, and under the radiance of the High Tower, you will lose your foothold in the entire world!"
"..."
The Law Guardians shouted in anger.
But within their encirclement, the black-robed figures remained silent, not even a flicker of movement in their eyes.
Invading the Capital City of the City of Law.
The consequences of such an act in this world were clear—death.
Moreover, the idea of carrying out their mission here and then casually leaving without being detected was utterly impossible.
In other words,
These individuals had chosen a path where life and death were of little concern.
No matter how forceful or authoritative the Law Guardians' words were, these figures showed no reaction.
"The Princess has arrived!"
"The thieves are below, Your Highness, please be careful."
"Although the thieves are surrounded, if any of them lose their composure and offend you, it would be inappropriate..."
At that moment, a voice suddenly echoed from above the winding path on the mountain slope.
Yana Fien, surrounded by several Law Guardians, was making her way down.
The Princess, who had just returned to the Capital City, had been a mere homecoming girl during the day, but after alerting the city of the invasion at night, she had gained the trust of many and seemed to have somewhat restored her past reputation.
Yana Fien walked directly outside the encirclement.
All eyes were fixed on the girl, including those of the black-robed figures within the circle.
"I'm here."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the person you're looking for is me, isn't it?"
Yana Fien spoke calmly.
As she spoke, she had already determined the purpose of the black-robed figures.
This conclusion was not difficult to guess, as the timing was too coincidental.
Yana Fien had been away from the Capital City of the City of Law for 10 years.
During this decade, there had been ample time for conspiracies and schemes to unfold, but they had chosen to launch this raid on the very first night of her return.
The purpose was too obvious, almost lazy to guess.
"..."
The black-robed figures within the encirclement fell silent.
This scene was expected, and then the Princess continued,
"In the name of the Law, I can forgive your crimes."
"But you must tell me, who supports you, and what is the true purpose behind such an act?"
"With the world of the City of Law in turmoil, for the sake of survival, I can understand your..."
Yana Fien's words suddenly halted.
At that very moment, one of the black-robed figures waved his arm. His movements were swift, and as he aimed at Yana Fien, a black longsword was thrown from his hand, piercing through the Law Guardians surrounding them at a speed too fast for the naked eye to capture.
Slap!
Unfortunately, his attack missed.
Just before the black sword struck Yana Fien, the Law Guardian beside her focused her gaze, and a giant hand made of golden radiance intercepted the sword, grasping it firmly.
Crack!
The black longsword shattered into fragments, falling to the ground and quickly dissipating without a trace.
Not only the surrounding Law Guardians but also Lindsey, hidden within the mountain, recognized the skill used.
"Believer!"
"Is this a Faithful Weapon?"
"Have the tentacles of the Demon God reached this far?"
Lindsey, concealed within the mountain, had a complex expression. His understanding of believers and demon gods far surpassed that of ordinary people, and he had already linked this to various conspiracies.
At the same time, the Law Guardians surrounding the black-robed figures were thoroughly enraged by the thrown longsword.
"How dare you!"
"The Princess is merciful, offering you a chance to live, and yet you dare to do this."
Sneaking into the capital city under the cover of night, they committed their heinous acts in broad daylight.
These two grave crimes were carried out right before everyone's eyes. Even if Yana Fien wanted to give these people a chance, the Law Guardians could not let them continue their humiliation.
With a roar, swords were drawn.
Some of them even unsheathed their Law Steel Swords, enhanced by skills, and began to slash at the surrounded followers.
A golden radiance suddenly erupted from the mountain slope!
"Come on then!"
"You cold-blooded machines that only enforce the law, kill us if you dare."
"Unless this woman and Heart's Edge die together, we commoners will have no tomorrow."
"Let's fight them!"
With a single move, the previously stalemated battle began.
Yana Fien was quickly pulled back, protected behind the crowd.
Even if she wanted to do something, the strength of the commoners left her powerless to change the situation, and she could only watch as the people before her engaged in combat.
"You..."
Boom!
The entire mountain slope was designated as a battlefield by the Law Guardians' rule power, and no one could enter or exit.
As for those who had hidden on the mountain.
They had originally planned to take advantage of the cover of night and their familiarity with the terrain to launch a surprise attack. Now, directly surrounded by the 'regular army', they saw no glimmer of victory.
Although many followers tried to resist.
In the end, they could only struggle in their final moments before death.
The golden law radiance and the black, symbolizing the power of faith, clashed in the mountains, with blood and roars echoing back and forth.
But in one corner of the battlefield, unnoticed by anyone.
Lindsey was quietly moving towards the outer side of the mountain.
If what was happening was just a political struggle within the City of Law, he certainly had no interest in participating.
But since the matter involved the Demon God and his followers, Lindsey had to get involved.
Just as the battle was at its most intense.
He unleashed the power of the Eternal Mark, hiding beneath the ground. Waiting for a moment when the golden law radiance pierced through the darkness, he seized the opportunity and targeted a heretic who had just been cut down, one that others believed was surely dead.
Swish! Lindsey's hand reached out from underground, grabbing the heretic's ankle.
It was the perfect time, under the cover of night, for Lindsey to make his move.
Without anyone noticing.
He dragged the barely conscious heretic underground, bringing him to a small room he had prepared while observing earlier.
"Hey, are you still conscious?"
Crack!
Lindsey slapped the follower twice on the face, and seeing no reaction, he poured a bottle of healing potion down his throat.
"Ugh..."
The follower regained consciousness, feeling dazed.
Then he saw nothing but darkness around him, no objects in sight.
"So this is... the place after death."
"The Sea of Death?"
"..."
Lindsey blinked, then realized the problem.
—This guy couldn't see him.
With the help of his equipment and skills, Lindsey could see in complete darkness, but the follower obviously couldn't.
Then, an idea popped into Lindsey's mind.
Recalling the stories and legends of the Death Sect, he directly unleashed a powerful essence suppression on the follower, and then, pinching his throat, he said:
"Now, you will be judged for your crimes before death."
"I will nail your heart to the grave marker, and your soul's fate will depend on your answers!"
