Chapter 375.1
Richard’s contorted visage vividly portrayed the intensity of his seething anger. Initially, his emotions had been a mix of pain and regret upon discovering the harsh truth. However, as sleepless nights wore on, a growing reservoir of anger welled up within him.
Though currently attempting to restrain it, waves of Praz emanated from him like fiery sparks. The colossal round table, encompassed by six kings and surrounded by murmuring generals, quivered as if shaken by an earthquake.
Under different circumstances, the Sword King’s actions would have constituted a grave provocation, potentially prompting other kings to confront him with their own anger or condemnation. However, they merely furrowed their brows slightly, sensing the underlying pain within the Sword King’s rage.

“But when I venture into the Holy City, the sensation is quite… how should I put it? Oppressive? It’s as if there’s a stifling aroma, yet not quite. It’s like my nose is playing tricks on me. Anyway, now I understand the reason.”
Riner emphatically slammed the table with both hands as he rose to his feet. “What else is there to do in this situation? Let’s go, let’s bring that guy down.”
