CHAPTER 1118: CHAPTER 829: YALEV IN THE FLAMES OF WAR (PART 2)

Not only that, Reiger also saw everything that happened to Rom after being controlled by Solok.

At this moment, Reiger’s face sank.

"How is it? Did you discover anything?"

Redson had stopped paying attention to Reiger’s time magic. Seeing Reiger place his hand on Rom’s head and his expression darken after a while, he quickly asked.

"Huh..."

Reiger didn’t answer Redson’s question immediately. First, he withdrew his hand and lifted the time magic on Rom.

The next second, Rom’s upper body fell heavily to the ground, his pitch-black eyes became dull, and he didn’t move at all.

His brain region had been damaged by Reiger’s rough search.

Now, even if Rom didn’t die, he was just a living vegetative state.

"Don’t you want to know who killed Hemulinp?" Reiger didn’t even glance at Rom. He turned to Redson and said with a mocking smile, "Now I can tell you."

"The one who killed Hemulinp was none other than his son, whom he favored to the death."

"Solok Jinas."

When the murderer’s name reached Redson’s ears, he fell silent.

In fact, he had already suspected it somewhat.

Because only those of royal bloodline from the Kingdom of Jinas could wield the power sword controlling the [Light of the Celestial Pillar].

Just now, Reiger was suppressed by the force of the [Light of the Celestial Pillar] in the royal chamber, which proved someone was secretly using the power sword.

This person could only be someone from the royal family of the Kingdom of Jinas.

And the power sword originally belonged to Hemulinp. Now Hemulinp was dead, and the power sword had fallen into someone else’s hands, doesn’t that make this person the suspect?

Redson wasn’t so naive.

He wasn’t a reckless young man, but an old Sword Saint nearly a hundred years old. Maybe even the oldest Sword Saint in the world, who had naturally seen through many things.

The power struggle within the royal family, how cruel and ruthless it is, this old Sword Saint knew very well too.

So...

"Prince Solok... committed patricide to usurp the throne?"

Redson’s tone was icy cold.

However, Reiger threw out a piece of news that shook everyone.

"It’s not just patricide and usurpation, he wants to slaughter all those who defied him before, especially me and the people of the Duke’s faction."

As he spoke, Reiger reached out, placing one hand on Liz and others’ shoulders and the other on Redson’s.

"Swish!"

As the non-chanting teleportation magic was activated, the group disappeared simultaneously from the spot and reappeared in the sky above the palace.

"[Group Flight]."

Reiger cast flying magic for everyone, allowing them all to float in mid-air.

Thanks to this, everyone finally saw.

They saw what the capital looked like at this moment.

...

"Boom!!!"

This was an extremely grand explosion.

In the noble district of Royal Capital Yaluf, one noble mansion after another suffered massive explosions, with raging flames and thick black smoke rising from those mansions, quickly turning the sky black and the ground red.

The area had turned into a battlefield.

Countless knights shouted themselves hoarse, fighting fiercely in the burning mansions.

Magicians in every corner continuously chanted magic, wreaking havoc on the surrounding areas.

A group of deranged individuals with blackened eyes screamed hoarsely, like beasts that had lost their minds, recklessly slaughtering anyone, treating everything except their own as mortal enemies.

While people with normal eyes either resisted or fled, especially a group of well-dressed nobles, who were either being chased, facing imminent danger, or resisting desperately, trying to fend off the invaders one by one.

Undoubtedly, this was a war.

Thus, this area had turned into a battlefield.

The battlefield was even expanding.

Because some had fled into the urban areas, while others chased them here, involving roadside civilians in the chaos, causing people to flee in panic and cry, as the surrounding buildings were hit by stray magic, gradually catching fire one by one.

This was the state of Royal Capital Yaluf now.

"How, how could this happen...!"

Witnessing this scene, Liz was completely stunned.

"Prince Solok...!"

Redson also clenched his fists tightly, voicing his anger.

"How dare he...!?"

Indeed.

All of this was orchestrated by that prince.

Reiger, who had searched through Rom’s memories, saw everything that the prince, disguised as the king, had done within the mind of the Shadow Sword Saint.

"With the help of a mysterious force, not only did he gain new power, but he also acquired a special artifact that could control others’ minds."

"Using that artifact, he controlled Rom, controlled everyone in ’Shadow’, and also controlled all the high officials and knights he met while disguised as the king, making them his most loyal death soldiers."

"Posing as the king, he could easily issue all instructions, summoning those he wanted to control into the palace under the pretext of an audience."

"If my people hadn’t discovered his double and realized he was orchestrating things secretly, he might have controlled even more people, ensuring more would submit to him until he completely seized control of the country."

Reiger’s voice slowly rose.

"Realizing that we’ve detected his odd behavior, he swiftly decided to take action, allowing those under his control to live as usual while he laid out his plans in the palace."

"So, when we left Liz’s chamber, all the knights, servants, maids, and high officials around us fell into a state of chaos, launching an attack on us."

"And when we entered the king’s quarters and saw Hemulinp’s body, you just happened to arrive, leading to a clash with me."

"As for him, he completely hid in the shadows, taking the opportunity to attack Liz and launching assaults on the nobles of the duke’s faction in the capital, stirring up chaos."

Reiger laughed mockingly.

"Rom was also sent by him, aiming to ambush and kill me in one blow."

"He had planned everything. The moment I stepped into the trap, he would seize the opportunity to control the [Light of the Celestial Pillar] to suppress me, aiming to kill me on the spot while I was being oppressed."

"Unfortunately, my strength and abilities exceeded his expectations, and Liz was protected by Yuloli, whom he didn’t know about, so nothing went wrong."

"Otherwise, if I died and Liz was successfully attacked by them, once all the duke’s faction rebels were dead, he could ascend to the throne and become the ruler of the country by default."

This was a revenge against Reiger and a scheme against Liz.

This was also a baptism for the rebels and a reshuffling of the kingdom’s power.

How dare Solok?

Isn’t that obvious?

"He is the notorious Mad Dog Prince. Other than solving problems through violence, do you think he can come up with any good plans?"

Reiger spoke as if mocking Solok, who wasn’t there, word by word.

"Patricide?"

"Usurp the throne?"

"War?"

"Bloodbath?"

"As long as he can achieve his goal, as long as he can smoothly ascend to the throne and control the country, why wouldn’t he dare?"

Hemulinp always believed that no matter how mad Solok was, he was still the prince of the country and his own son.

But he was wrong, extremely wrong.

How could that mad dog possibly care about the governance of the country?

How could that mad dog possibly mature and settle down?

Even if he would, that would be something for the future.

But now, he’s just a mad dog capable of doing anything.

"I advise you to quickly find the other royal offspring, especially the crown prince and the seventh prince, who are rumored to have high successions rights like that mad dog."

Reiger said calmly to Redson.

"If not, they will surely be eliminated as threats by that mad dog."

Upon hearing this, Redson’s face changed dramatically.

In the next moment, Redson unhesitatingly activated his Time Sword Skill, rapidly disappearing from the spot in the highest level of time acceleration.

"Master, Master! What about us...?"

Liz hurriedly asked.

In response, Reiger also showed no hesitation.

"We return to the Frenzel Manor."
