Chapter 312 (1): Let the Queen Go
The mysterious man looked at the Darkness Knight in surprise, deducing his identity through Silvia and Filomina. So it turned out that Auston was the Darkness Knight. The problem that had been plaguing him for years was finally solved.
Wayne was equally surprised to see the Darkness Knight. Auston coming here was fine, but bringing Silvia and Filomina along was a big problem. What happened to wearing a mask to protect his family? Why did he suddenly drop the act?
Did becoming king make him reckless?
Wayne was baffled. Given Auston’s cautious nature, this shouldn’t be happening, so there had to be a reason. He’d ask about it later. First...
Eliminate everyone who knew!
The Death Knight charged forward with Death energy wrapping around Shadow Nightmare, corrupting all layers of the interlocking spaces.
What the mysterious man used wasn’t ordinary magic, but an intrinsic talent related to his demonic form in hell, similar to a succubus’s irresistible charm. Since the mysterious man followed Lord of Pride, the power had to come from the demon lord.
The mysterious man’s talent in demon form was powerful. Combined with his terrifyingly strong thoughts, no ordinary legendary mage could rival him. In other words, he had enough power to control Windsor’s entire Ministry of Magic, even the royal family.
But he hadn’t done so. Instead, he’d been pulling the strings behind the scenes. Perhaps it was because he was cautious by nature, or perhaps he was wary of something.
The more Wayne thought about it, the more absurd it seemed. Was there really anything in Windsor that the mysterious man feared? Was he worried about attracting the Church of Heavenly Father’s attention because he was the Lord of Pride’s familiar?
Unable to figure it out, Wayne set the issue aside for now. The mysterious man knew too much. Better to kill him first and think about the mysteries later.
Shadow Nightmare’s pristine white blade sliced through space, Death energy exploding outward and morphing into aggressive grey tentacles to strike at the mysterious man. In an instant, the undead warhorse leaped through space with Wayne, charging ahead of the tentacles of Death energy before the mysterious man could raise his twin blades.
