From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Low-level Monarch "Boulder Sledge Hammer" Prince Baine and the court mage "Silver Poet" Aphrodus had also followed the former Cyart King to this port city.

Almost in the very next moment, they appeared before Byrne and the others, as if they had used some method to speed up their arrival.

Baine soon noticed something was amiss. Prince Baine's expression was very wrong, much graver than the emotionless "Silver Poet" Aphrodus.

He clearly did not wish to participate in this battle, yet he felt helpless and showed great hesitation and struggle.

"So it is, 'Silver Poet' Aphrodus, you are a person of the Words of Tranquility?"

After Aldrich asked, he received no response. The silver-haired "Silver Poet" did not even glance at him. Consequently, he immediately shouted, "Prince Baine! You should not have come here!"

"He is no longer that great founder of nations but is completely controlled by the Words of Tranquility, and even his imminent actions may very well destroy Cyart! Will you continue to support him?"

He paused, speaking with an unsteady tone, "Prince Baine! Remember who you are loyal to: the Adley Royal Family, to Cyart, not that madman close to death!"

Prince Baine's expression was very dark, and he said with a trembling body, "I simply cannot... violate The Oath... sorry!"

Aldrich pondered after hearing this, realizing Prince Baine must have made some sort of oath with the former Cyart King in his early years, which required him to comply with the former king's command at least once.

Violating The Oath would carry a great price, punished directly by the Divine Power. Prince Baine seemed not willing to pay this price and therefore was obliged to follow the commands of the Words of Tranquility.

Aldrich's expression remained serious as he continued, "Prince Baine, you once swore to protect the people of Cyart, to honor the Adley Royal Family!"

"And now, for your own safety, you aid the heretical cult of the Words of Tranquility, even ignoring the potential for this nation's destruction!"

"From this moment on, I despise your name and your soul! I will not stop even after you die!"

Despite his words, Prince Baine still shook his head in agony, showing no intent to break The Oath.

At that moment, many citizens of the port swarmed over.

Suddenly, a ring on Aldrich's finger flickered with light, and a multitude of green plants emerged around him, growing wildly like a forest, quickly isolating the many citizens.

Prince Baine was still in pain when he suddenly heard Darren laughing loudly, "Prince Baine is so cowardly, like a mouse. We all spit on your soul. To think you're a descendant of the saints of the Salvation Church, and yet you act like a dog for the enemies of the Lord of Salvation, it's truly nauseating and laughable! Hahaha!"

"Shut up! What do you know?"

Prince Baine seemed to become furious with shame, roaring madly on the spot, his enormous body shaking uncontrollably with anger.

Darren, looking at him with eyes full of mockery, removed the Iron Mask from his face, revealing a disdainful smile, as if he were ridiculing the vilest rat from the gutters.

Though he said nothing more, his expression alone was enough to enrage anyone within a second!

In Fischer's family, this ability to be annoying was uniquely powerful!

Yet, Prince Baine endured his anger, simply staring at Byrne and humming, then shook his head, refusing to communicate further with them.

"Hmm?"

Byrne pondered, that man's gaze was very strange.

Just then, the former Cyart King began chanting a Spell in the sky, trying to activate the city's barrier.

Immediately, Aldrich shouted, "The city's barrier must not be activated!"

Everyone's faces changed. A city-level barrier could halve their powers. The enemies before them were formidable enough; if their powers were to be halved by the barrier as well, they were as good as dead!

The battle had begun!

Without a word, Byrne used his Extraordinary power to Instantaneously Transfer Chris in front of "Silver Poet" Aphrodus.

It was best to take out one first.

Chris, emotionless like Death in the night, intended to use the power of time stasis to kill "Silver Poet" Aphrodus instantly, but instead, he restrained himself and calmly thrust his sword toward the expressionless "Silver Poet" Aphrodus.

The Black Blade instantly pierced through Aphrodus's frail female body, but no blood flowed out. Instead, there was a sensation akin to piercing metal!

"Puppet?"

Chris's gaze sharpened. If the "Silver Poet" Aphrodus in front of him was just a puppet, then where was her true body?

Prince Baine suddenly let out a great roar, and the ground instantly cracked open to form a large pit. He then completely ignored Chris and Aphrodus at his side and, astonishingly, deployed his battle skill, charging straight toward Byrne and his companions!

"Boulder Sledge Hammer!"

He possessed terrifying defensive power, and an even more horrifying force beyond that defense!

Among the low-level Monarchs who were Extraordinary Exponents, to this date, no one in Cyart had been able to match his sheer power!

His large and muscular body, like a cannonball, shot towards Byrne and the others. He was clearly trying to hold back the group to ensure that the former Cyart King could successfully initiate the barrier trial!

However, Byrne suddenly made an attempt.

He could feel exactly what the gaze that Prince Baine had just fixed on him signified.

Sure enough, there was no hostility in Prince Baine!

He was easily transferred by Byrne!

The next instant, Prince Baine, who was charging full speed, had already arrived in front of the former Cyart King!

"Baine!"

The former Cyart King watched the scene emotionlessly, unable to react in time.

"Your Highness! Stop now!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Prince Baine roared furiously, his figure looking exceptionally lonely and resolute on the battlefield, with flames of rage burning in his eyes. That was merciless hatred towards the enemy, and immense grief for his manipulated kin.

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

He suddenly let out a mournful howl, a howl like a wild wind in the wilderness, wild and tearing, his throat seemingly filled with endless fury. Each word felt like a sledgehammer smashing into the air, causing the surrounding atmosphere to tremble.

"Why! Why must you always let innocent lives perish! The Cyart people must not be destroyed by the hands of the Cyart King! Absolutely not! I will stop you!"

His voice was filled with pain and unwillingness, like a wounded beast roaring, every character brimming with power, shaking the mental state of everyone present.

Prince Baine's eyes were blood-red, tears swirling in them, but that was not a symbol of weakness; it was his denunciation of the fratricidal war, a furious roar against the injustices of fate.

His chest heaved violently, each breath burning like flames, pushing his grief and strength to the peak!

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a tremendous boom, Prince Baine collided with full force into the former Cyart King, sending the old man's body flying.

The initiation of the barrier was interrupted!

"Your Majesty!"

His roar echoed on the battlefield, The Oath had been broken, and the automatic punishment of the Divine Power laws descended.

It was a tragedy that no one could stop.

The next moment, Prince Baine's body gradually disintegrated, bit by bit turning into dust!

Yet, even though the warrior's body was falling apart, his gaze remained firm and unyielding, shining with resolution, like a blazing flame illuminating the convictions in his heart.

The true oath would not be broken!

The nearly shattered Prince Baine struggled to stand, using his last ounce of strength to charge at the enemy "Silver Poet" Aphrodus for one final time, each step filled with determination and courage.

"Words of Tranquility, you will never succeed!"

In the process of his final charge, the warrior's body continued to sway, eventually completely breaking apart, turning into ashes, but his soul remained forever unyielding.
