Chapter 446 - 294 Thief King
The massive explosion leveled the entire Royal Palace, and the rising black fire scorched this area to a cinder, leaving intense pollution on the ground that made it impossible for anyone to approach.
Rod was initially surprised at how a show for entertainment could be so realistic but soon found that inside the Royal Palace, not only had several people been blown to death but Horus was also injured.
He immediately realized that this was not a staged plot but a real attack.
The Upper City immediately entered a state of emergency, with countless High Rank Guardians rushing out from every corner, and a vast number of Fire Priests falling from the sky en masse. Their fiery red robes quickly became the dominant color of the Upper City. The massive Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground quickly closed in, and Fire Guardians stood packed both inside and outside the ground.
The air tensed, and aside from the guards, not a soul could be seen on the streets and alleys, but Rod could still move freely.
He came unobstructed to what was now a pile of ruins before the Royal Palace and saw the King in the plaza on the eastern side.
Many senior officials of the Royal City were also here.
To Rod’s surprise, it seemed that the culprit had already been caught. A group of Judgers escorted several ragged individuals who were kneeling in the plaza.
They looked dispirited, their hands and feet shackled with shining Spiritual Energy manacles.
