CHAPTER 1126: CHAPTER 834: SANCTUARY

"-------"

Silence.

Oppressively extreme silence.

Everyone watched Reiger cut down Dihart with one strike and kill Solok with the same blade; besides Liz and Yuloli, the rest lost their original expressions.

Including Yuri, Marilyn, Ai En, Ian, who had broken into the Codelion Family, battling the magic dolls and black-eyed knights, were all shocked by this sudden scene of absolute kill.

"Dihart!"

Saint Nidor exclaimed as he looked at Dihart, who had fallen to the ground.

"How is this possible..."

Saint Charia couldn’t believe her eyes.

One strike.

With just one strike, he instantly killed two Sword Saint-level powerhouses.

Reiger Brillhaut... Is this person really that strong?

Saint Charia was filled with shock.

"Clap clap clap!"

Just as everyone was immersed in indescribable shock and disbelief, the sound of clapping broke the silence of the scene.

"Amazing! Truly amazing!"

A black-robed figure who hadn’t intervened in the battle at all and had been watching coldly from the sidelines started clapping.

"This is the Thunder Light Sword Saint?"

"This is the so-called thunder light flash that leads to defeat?"

"The rumors are really unreliable. I didn’t see thunder light, but I did see the fire light well enough. No wonder... no wonder you could make the ’Ice Women’ sisters retreat in defeat."

As he clapped, the black-robed figure uttered these words with mixed emotions of either lament or admiration.

Reiger lifted his gaze and looked at the black-robed figure.

"Who are you?"

Reiger asked calmly.

"’Gigabit.’"

The other reported his origin cleanly and smiled meaningfully.

"Although it’s not a real name, you should have heard of this name, right?"

Hearing this, Reiger raised an eyebrow.

"Are you one of the leaders of that mysterious organization?"

Having heard Reiger mention it before, Yuri, upon arriving at the scene and hearing these words, immediately spoke up resolutely.

"Leader?" Gigabit shook his head and chuckled, "No, that’s just your misunderstanding."

"We only have one leader, and that is ’Sky Hunter.’

"As for the rest of us six, including myself, we are merely subordinates of ’Sky Hunter,’ equally obliged to act upon his orders."

"Who exactly are you?" Yuri asked seriously, "What are your intentions?"

"Oh, you’re so direct?" Gigabit scratched his head and smiled mischievously, "I’m sorry, but neither our true identities nor our purpose can be casually disclosed."

"So, excuse me, lovely lady, but I can’t answer your questions."

Gigabit’s frivolous attitude made Yuri furious.

"Do you think it’s okay not to speak?"

Yuri signalled to Marilyn.

Marilyn immediately understood, ready to surround Gigabit with Ai En, Ian, and the knights of the Franzel family.

But, Gigabit remained with a cheeky smile.

"It would be better not to waste your efforts, Missy," Gigabit kindly reminded, "Even if you capture me now, it won’t be of any use."

"If you don’t believe me, you can ask that little man you fancy."

Hearing Gigabit’s words, Yuri instinctively looked at Reiger.

In normal circumstances, this would definitely invite ridicule from others.

After all, Yuri’s reaction was an indirect admission of Gigabit’s words, inadvertently revealing her feelings.

Unfortunately, the setting was not right, and no one present noticed this point.

Reiger met Yuri’s gaze and shook his head as well.

"This guy is a puppet, not the real self."

With the insight of the world, Reiger had already seen this.

"Puppet?"

Yuri’s face changed slightly.

"The formal name is Magic Puppet, a technique somewhat related to magic dolls," Gigabit spread his hands, as if showing something, and smiled, "This is one of the old man’s proud works. As long as activated by special means, you can transfer your consciousness into it, effectively possessing a second body. The drawback is that there’s no way to replenish magic power, and when the magic crystal inside runs out of magic, this puppet will cease functioning and may even be scrapped."

"However, before the magic power in the magic crystal runs out, this puppet body is still quite useful, capable of exerting about seventy to eighty percent of the real body’s power."

"Of course, most importantly, even if the puppet body is defeated, I won’t die; I can even cause the enemy to suffer losses by exploding this body."

"How about it? Pretty good, right?"

Gigabit’s unilateral explanation truly reflected what is meant by not fearing anything.

Completely unconcerned about personal information being leaked, showing off boldly, undeniably gave others a sense of being belittled, which made Yuri’s eyes flash with fierceness.

Only Reiger coldly watched Gigabit’s performance.

"Whatever your goals are, since you’ve chosen to attack me and those around me, be prepared."

"One day, I will make you pay."

"Pay in blood."

Reiger’s calm declaration made ’Terra’’s eyes flicker.

"It’s truly terrifying."

’Terra’ could only smile faintly and speak.

"But aren’t you underestimating us a bit too much?"

"Indeed, you are strong, very strong. Perhaps on our side, only the leader and the old man could match you?"

"But this is just the tip of the iceberg of our power."

"Reiger Brillhaut, you will never know what kind of existence stands opposed to you."

’Terra’ sneered repeatedly.

"When our revolution succeeds, the world will revert to its original form."

"By then, you’ll understand what you truly oppose."

Leaving those words, ’Terra’ swiftly dashed outside.

"Stop right there!"

Yuri was startled, instinctively wanting to have someone pursue them.

However, Reiger acted faster than her.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, Reiger’s figure appeared on the path of ’Terra’’s escape, as if he had teleported.

"[Maximum Enhance·Instant Decision]."

A cold chant rang out, releasing an invisible slash capable of slicing through space, cutting through the atmosphere, and twisting toward ’Terra’.

"......!"

’Terra’’s face changed, his figure halted abruptly, like a puppet being pulled by an invisible string, whooshing upwards.

"[Triple Enhancement·Instant Decision]."

Reiger’s eyes flashed with a transparent luster, then released three slashes slicing through space toward the air.

It was as if a prediction had been made, leaving ’Terra’ nowhere to dodge, directly meeting the attack of the three spatial slashes.

The next second, the black-robed ’Terra’ was evenly cut into four pieces by three invisible blades of space.

"[Crimson Nova]."

Then, Reiger unleashed the strongest single-target fire magic, causing crimson flames to rise sky-high, engulfing the four-parted body of ’Terra’ and burning it to ashes.

"Reiger Brillhaut!"

Before being burned to ashes, a voice slowly emerged from the crimson flames.

"We will meet again."

"By then, I must witness your skills, the ones that even the ’Ice Maiden’ sister never stops praising."

"Remember, I am the Saint Envoy of the Temple, codename —— ’Terra’."

"Don’t forget, Reiger Brillhaut..."

With those words, the puppet housing ’Terra’’s consciousness was incinerated by the crimson flames, leaving not a trace of ash.

Reiger quietly watched this scene.

"Temple..."

Is that the name of the mysterious faction?

"Holy Beast..."

"Holy Power..."

"Holy Relic..."

"Holy Envoy..."

"You all really like the title ’Holy’ huh."

Reiger murmured softly.

"I will remember this."

With that, Reiger turned around and returned to the Codelion Family.

......

Today was undeniably an extremely sensational day.

A sudden brawl involving the entire capital’s nobility, even affecting the commoners, shattered the long-standing peace and tranquility of the Jinas Kingdom.

On this day, countless learned of the news of the current King of the Jinas Kingdom, Hemulinp Jinas, passing away.

On this day, the patricide and usurpation by the Third Prince, Solok Jinas, also shocked the world.

Thanks to Third Prince Solok, the entire capital was thrown into turmoil, with nobles dying or injured, resulting in countless losses and tragedies.

Especially those Duke faction nobles who supported Saint Nidor Kedalion’s succession, believing him to be the best candidate for the throne; countless lost their precious lives in a single day.

This chaos only ended after the Frenzel family and the Codelion Family acted, and with the returning Borlay family’s Knight Commander joining forces with them to suppress the situation.

However, the emergence of this chaos undoubtedly caused a seismic impact on the entire Jinas Kingdom.

The death of many nobles...

The king’s death...

The casualties of the Royal faction and Duke faction...

All these indicate that the Jinas Kingdom is entering the most vulnerable and chaotic period in its history.

After experiencing this upheaval, not only will the major forces within the capital experience a reshuffle, but there will also be significant shifts in status and power within the noble circle.

Adding to the vacancy of the throne, it’s no exaggeration to say that once the news spreads, even Jinas’s neighboring countries will become restless.

Especially the Leiblu Kingdom, which eyes the lands of the Jinas Kingdom covetously; according to reports from the Meipros family, there’s already a trend of them deploying a great army to press the border.

The national state of the Jinas Kingdom thus becomes turbulent and unstable.
