"Haha - do you think... I have been caught by you?"

But what people didn't expect was that even though the blood-armored assassin was in such a desperate situation, the pair of scarlet pupils on his faceplate still didn't waver at all.

The moment his hoarse words fell, his body, which had clearly been pinched by the throat, twisted in the opposite direction beyond common sense.

While breaking free of Brandon's chokehold, the assassin also used the sharp blade that pierced the heart to directly and irregularly cut off the small half of his body that was holding the arm.

At this moment, his injuries were more serious and he was probably on the verge of death. However, this kind of operation beyond common sense and imagination gave him a chance to turn the impossible into possible.

When Brandon and others also performed this operation for him, they were stunned for a moment. The invisible power of space reappeared, and the remains of his body that briefly regained freedom instantly turned into a transparent phantom.

In the blink of an eye, the transformed blood-armored assassin escaped from the encirclement of these three people and ascended to heaven in an incredible way!

“Hehehehe—this can allow him to escape?!”

Brandon watched helplessly as the assassin who was finally caught in front of him disappeared again. As he sneered, the expression on his face was almost distorted.

It is conceivable that he was extremely angry at this moment and smiled. He watched his son die in front of him without saying a word. The assassin who was thought to have been captured escaped?

At this moment, he felt as if a volcano was erupting in his chest, and his whole body was almost flooded with rage and exploded!

"Brother Imperial! Be careful of the stumps left by the opponent!"

But before Brandon could explode into anger, Harold's reminder came again.

The next moment, the blood-armored assassin's arm that was severed by Osai, as well as the arm that he cut off himself. The arm that is still held in His Majesty's hand, has swelled to the extreme.

"boom--"

It exploded like an unstable bomb!!

…

"Damn it! It's too late, hurry up and save people!!"

As soon as they arrived at the palace, Ariel saw Brandon and Harold (Osay couldn't see them). Just when she was about to ask about the situation, she saw the emperor's palace in front of her explode.

In fact, it's not that the three girls really arrived late, it's just that everything has changed too quickly.

From the beginning, several legends of the royal family all sensed the presence of the assassin. Then Brandon took action first, blocking the assassin from attacking the third prince.

Various reversals followed, from the twelfth prince being killed to the assassin being seriously injured and taken down by three people. The time that passed in between was really just a blink of an eye.

How fast are the legendary warriors? If something happens anywhere in the palace under the protection of a few of them, they can stop it in just a split second.

But when no one expected, the assassin's reaction was just as quick. And his response method was even more extreme and unexpected, almost turning the impossible into possible.

After all, the legendary strongman would never have imagined that "" a person had his heart pierced, his throat pinched, and his only arm captured... how could he actually escape?

From the time Ariel sensed the situation to the time she arrived at the palace, it probably only took a few seconds to chant the magic spell in the middle, and she flew directly over on her way.

But I really didn't expect that it would be too late in just such a short time.

Looking at the aftermath of the explosion in the palace, the girl didn't hesitate at all. She directly controlled the flames around her to form a protective barrier, then rushed in with Nia beside her in her arms.

After all, she is an expert at playing with flames and explosions, so she is naturally confident in estimating the power of an explosion.

Sure enough, the power of the explosion of this stump was not as powerful as a legend's full self-destruction. The power of the explosion of this stump was only enough to destroy most of the palace.

A gust of wind was raised casually, blowing away the aftermath of the explosion and the dust that blocked the view. When Ariel saw the three people appearing in embarrassment in front of her, she couldn't help but look stunned.

It’s not just because of the superficial deviation between the three people’s usually gorgeous and majestic aristocratic postures and the embarrassing appearance in front of them.

What's more, Emperor Brandon, who usually looked majestic and steady, as if nothing could change his face, actually showed a trace of unconcealable despair and finality in his eyes at this moment.

This helpless and heavy emotion... It seems that it should not appear on the emperor, the most noble and powerful person in the empire, but it just happens to appear.

As if infected by his emotion, the other two embarrassed Harold and Osay also lowered their heads and remained silent, neither of them spoke first.

"Father……"

Princess Nia looked at the frustrated middle-aged man in front of her, almost afraid to recognize that this was her father, who was usually astonishingly majestic and high-spirited.

"..."

The heavy and negative atmosphere at this scene also made Ariel a little silent for a while. However, she saw not far away, the twelfth prince's head was missing, and the body was completely silent.

After investigating for a moment, she whispered without hesitation.

"I'll try to save people first."

Because on the way back, she had already prepared her own "Phoenix Flame". It could be used to prevent various emergencies and could be used to save herself or others.

Ever since this restorative fire magic saved her from being seriously injured and Nia who almost died, the girl has paid more and more attention to this magic.

"Is there... still hope?!"

However, although her voice was low, it was like thunder in the ears of Brandon, who was frustrated. He suddenly raised his head, as if he had grasped the last straw.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor has completely lost the majesty of being an emperor. He is just like an ordinary father who has just lost his son. All he has is the pain of his child's death.

His cloudy eyes looked at Ariel excitedly, as if he was afraid of a negative answer coming out of her mouth.

"All I can say is try..."

But no matter how high his expectations were, the girl could only answer truthfully. After all, not only did the twelfth prince look lifeless, but his entire body was almost gone.

Even if he is not completely dead for a while, it is basically impossible to save him.

"Okay! Please try it quickly."

Hearing this, Brandon didn't talk nonsense and immediately moved out of the way to facilitate her treatment.

Ariel nodded without saying anything, looking at the twelfth prince who was dying in a miserable state in front of her. Then she looked at the third prince who also fell to the ground not far away, but was only fainted by the aftermath of the explosion.

It can only be said that fate brings bad luck. After all, when two people were killed, the probability of who died seemed to be 50%.

After suppressing the complicated emotions in her heart, the girl didn't need any extra preparation. A ball of brilliant colored flames ignited from the palm of her hand as she raised her hand.

Without hesitation, she threw the "Phoenix Flame" on the twelfth prince's silent body.

The colorful flames suddenly grew in size, encompassing the entire corpse of the opponent. The healing life force and the rebirth force of the flame acted simultaneously, as if they wanted to snatch the dead person back from the hands of death.

It's a pity that a long time has passed. Except for the injuries on his body that appeared due to the aftermath, the missing parts of his chest and abdomen have no tendency to regenerate at all.

Ariel, who had maintained it for too long, was already sweating slightly on her forehead. But what made her feel stressed was not actually maintaining this legendary magic.

Instead, she felt that there was a secret blood-red aura in the body parts that the Twelve Princes had eroded and disappeared, hindering the recovery ability of the "Phoenix Flame".

'I don't believe it!'

Ariel secretly gritted her teeth, feeling quite competitive, and once again increased the output of her magic power. Finally, the brilliant colored flames reached a critical point.
Chapter completed!
