Rise of the Legendary Emperor

Chapter 118: The War Ends with a Twist

Previously Arrora wore a white dress but now the white dress had been dyed red by the blood of the people she just killed. Not only the dress, but she also bathed in blood and looked like a devil as blood dripped from her face and her sword.

Kate felt a cold chill running through her spine seeing Arrora in the middle of the battlefield with her current appearance. Unlike Kate, Darlene wanted to spare with Arrora and learn more about her as well as her sword techniques which looked nothing fancy but precise and deadly.

As time passed, the odds were turned into Korrinth's favor as they had already lost their best unit and the infantry of Everlight were just as deadly as the archers.

"Brother Irvin, please do something"

"Oh shit"

As Jowan cried for Irvin's help, Arrora turned her gaze towards the three of them. King Garreth's heart jumped a beat when he saw the girl bathed in blood looking at him as he quickly looked at Irvin for his help.

"Come on, do something"

Jowan started to shiver as Arrora slowly stepped forward towards them. And even though the three of them were protected by the royal guards, they were just mid-level masters and she just killed a unit full of peak level masters like cutting vegetables.

However for Irvin, the scene of him and his friends getting beaten to death by a girl just like the girl here flashed before his eyes. And Jowan's nagging brought back Irvin from his nightmare as he gritted his teeth and shouted

"What's wrong with you people? You rank fours should be weak"

When he saw his friend Dan got killed before his eyes, Irvin wanted revenge, and after getting chewed by his teacher he even had the courage to get revenge for Dan by himself. That was the reason he chose to roam around the kingdoms to get battle experience and hone his skills.

However seeing Arrora massacring the elite unit of Agoria, the trauma he wanted to forget came back rushing in his mind and weakened his courage.

Initially, he thought rank 4 kingdoms would be a good hunting ground for him with a lot of low-level bandits, foes and the two people he met in Royal Dine was an exception. But he realized now that it was not the case as even the cultivators in rank 4 kingdom had grown stronger than him.

"But you are stronger brother Irvin, you're from Redland Academy. You can do anything"

"Shut the fuck up Jowan.I've already learned my lesson playing Redland Academy card"

"Oh no oh no, she's coming"

"Guards kill her!"

While Jowan was pleading Irvin, King Garreth ordered his men but at this point, they had lost all their courage

"You don't come near us, my brother here is a Redland Academy disciple"

Seeing Arrora approaching them, Jowan shouted at her as she stopped taking steps towards them and looked at Irvin

"I'm sure your friend wouldn't intervene between the dispute of two rank 4 kingdoms" while saying this, Arrora didn't take her gaze away from Irvin but directly looked at his eyes

If this happened before the Royal Dine incident, Irvin would have jumped into a fight with her but since he already learned his lesson, he didn't want the history to repeat itself.

"Oh yes, yes. I don't want to intervene I just came here to watch the battle and take some notes"

Irvin could already feel the sweat drops on his forehead as he said

"What the fuck are you afraid of? go fight with her. Even if you die you will be avenged by your sect"

"After I die, I don't give a shit about someone avenging me"

Jowan had enough of the Irvin as his mind was already filled with fear just like King Garreth

"Shut up Jowan. Irvin son, if you kill her I will let you take our key for the ancient dungeon"

"Fuck that old man, I need to be alive to use that key. Leave me out of this"

Since Everlight's soldiers had killed most of the Agorian force and the mercenaries were either dead or escaped, King Harold sighed in relief and enjoyed the show from a distance with a wide grin on his face.

Nodding at Irvin, Arrora looked back at Jowan and King Garreth while King Gareth decided to use his last trump card

"Emir has..."

But before he could finish what he wanted to say Arrora interrupted him

"My lord, I thought you have somewhere to be?"

Even though Arrora asked Irvin politely with a gentle smile on her face, Irvin felt like he was smiled at by a devil as he quickly nodded his head and said

"Yes yes, it has been a very educational trip, miss. See you around Jowan"

As he said, Irvin kicked his horse so hard that it neighed and started to run like crazy.

"Emir has an Azri..."

Seeing Irvin running away, King Garreth tried to reveal about the Azrite deposit but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't make a sound

Arrora chuckled seeing at Irvin running away like he was being chased by the devil himself and turned to look at the guards around King Garreth and Jowan

"So you guys want to fight or not?"

While Arrora was dealing with King Garreth and Jowan, Darlene saw another unit who stood without fighting till now stepping forward.

Surprisingly this unit didn't have any swords or weapons in their hands but sacks.

"Huh?"

And when she thought that she had enough surprises for today, Darlene saw the masked figures walking at the bodies of Agoria's men and searched them.

At first, Darlene had no idea what's going on but in a few moments, she realized everything

" are they looting the dead bodies?"

Kate asked herself when she saw the masked figures running around the bodies and taking everything that seemed valuable including the armors, weapons, and arrows.

However, King Harold was too happy to notice them looting the bodies as he shouted at Arrora

"Capture them alive, I want to kill that bastard with my own hands and then the Agoria would be mine"

King Garreth had heard that Don is deeply madly in love with Darlene as he would do anything for her. So King Harold planned to use Darlene as a bargaining chip to get Agoria from Don instead of Emir and also after seeing the strength of Everlight's army, King Harold even had an idea of conquering some little kingdoms adjacent to Korrinth and Agoria with their help.

And now King Harold realized why Darlene loved Don, even though Don himself was not as powerful as Darlene but he had a powerful army and killing machine for a bodyguard. So he thought that he could make Darlene use Everlight's army by manipulating Don for his own purposes.

"I don't think so, King Harold"

However, King Harold's grin froze on his face when he heard Don

"What do you mean?"

"I meant Agoria will become mine as a part of Everlight"

"You should do as my father asks Don"

Suddenly Don heard Darlene's voice before King Harold could say anything as he turned to see her walking towards him but she had her sword in her hand.

Seeing the sword in her hand, Arrora realized that there's something wrong so he dashed forward at Jowan and King Garreth while the guards stood in her way, tried to stop her but they were killed in a flash by Arrora.

"Jowan!"

King Garreth shouted when he saw Arrora knocking out Jowan and before he could reach for his sword, darkness surrounded him after feeling a pain in his head.

With their King and Prince had been captured by Arrora, the remaining soldiers of Agoria lost all their courage and spirit to fight and one by one, they dropped their weapons and kneeled to surrender. Don's men didn't kill the surrendered soldiers but the reapers still looted everything from the soldiers even though they were still alive.

Korrinth's men wanted to shout and celebrate their victory after witnessing King Garreth and Jowan get captured alive by Arrora but looking at Don,Darlene, and King Harold, they chose not to celebrate as they were able to feel the tension in the air.

"Oh?"

Don asked as he could feel the air around him getting cold while Darlene walked towards him.

"You almost fooled me, Don. I've never thought that you have such a powerful army under your command"

"Darlene, what're you doing?"

Kate thought to herself as Darlene continued while Don stood there without responding to Darlene

"But no matter how many powerful men you have under your command, you seemed to have forgotten one thing"

The coldness around Don had significantly increased and he could even see his breath. And looking at the scene, Arrora noticed the magical fluctuation radiating from Darlene skyrocketed to the peak of a great master level showing her full power.

"Darlene"

King Harold was a little bit terrified as took a step back seeing the magical fluctuation around Darlene

"What's that?"

But Don still had the calm and cool look on his face when he asked

"You are weak and powerless"

Just as she said, a crystal ice block appeared around Don and covered his whole body starting from the neck to his toe leaving only the head exposed.

And above his exposed head, a foot long icicle formed aiming at Don's head while Darlene put her sword on Don's throat.
