Chapter 1954 The Castle

Author: Lil Thorny Flower
The helicopter set off for Brundela. Elizabeth remained in a corner, her hands tucked under her clothes. Black Tortoise noticed that, and he knew she was hiding a dagger underneath. Elizabeth was prepared to fight should she be taken hostage.

That cautiousness was useless to Black Tortoise, but he didn't say it out loud. He'd just let her do it if that was what it took to make Elizabeth feel safe and in control. Fortunately, the helicopter arrived at the duke's land and landed on the castle grounds three hours later.

The castle was five hundred years old. When the modern era hit, this castle became a place where the duke kept his wine collection. It wasn't open to the public. The castle was under tight security, and a whole company of special forces units was stationed around the castle.

Elizabeth noticed a lot of soldiers in blue armor. They weren't wearing any modern attire, and it made her more nervous than before. She came out of the helicopter shivering and cautious. She would

    Within the great hall of the castle stood a few people who radiated an air even colder than those outside. Their armor was more resplendent than the guards', and they were covered in bizarre runes. A dozen trinkets, old and ancient, hung from the armor.Elizabeth had no idea how the cultivators ranked themselves, nor had she ever had contact with supernatural things. She thought these were the leaders of the temple, and the trinkets on the armor were like medals in the West.She didn't know anyone in the great hall save for an old man in the corner making tea. She thought he looked familiar.Black Tortoise announced, "The Nine-State Lord has arrived!" His voice was thunderous, and the gods within shook. They had weird looks on their faces, and some rolled their eyes.Nox mocked, "They're not blind, Black Tortoise. Of course, they know I'm here. We've left them hanging for so long that they must be impatient."The gods gulped. It almost sounded like Nox wanted to kill them. They wo

    Nox expected Elizabeth's response. This was why she'd been so nervous all the way. "Ice Temple guys, get up and take your seats. Have a taste of Faeast's quality tea. You, old man, you kneel until she tells you to get up," said Nox.The gods stood up and took their seats. Then, they looked at the old man mockingly. It felt great seeing someone else suffer the burn. The old man groveled in terror, scraping the skin of his forehead. Soon, the ground was covered in blood."Nox, he's…""I know. Duke Coleman. He's the nemesis of Brundelan royalty and has been trying to set up his own fiefdom within the empire. He's just like your uncle now: a villain who stops at nothing to get what he wants," said Nox.Elizabeth nodded. Coleman was a traitor. He carved out his own fiefdom in Brundela blatantly, while his company monopolized the nation's markets. Then, he even set up his own military in his land.The duke tried to assassinate Elizabeth a few years ago. Fortunately, the intelligence age

    "Elizabeth, when it comes to war, there is only profit. Whether someone is your friend or enemy is irrelevant. Mystia has been an enemy of Faeast for more than a thousand years, and yet I am working with Ice Temple now," encouraged Nox. He had noticed that Elizabeth couldn't forgive Coleman, yet she couldn't resolve herself to kill him.Coleman then declared that he would willingly give Elizabeth his wealth, military, and land, all for his survival and redemption. Elizabeth eventually nodded, and Coleman shed tears of joy. He turned into a faithful servant and helped Elizabeth return to her seat."Allies and enemies don't matter… I think you mean something else by that, Nine-State Lord," an icy voice came from the antechamber. The Ice Temple gods stood up and knelt in that chamber's direction.The others were already kneeling to them even before the god showed themselves. Elizabeth could imagine how powerful this newcomer would be. Yet, Nox didn't give any response. He simply took

    "I did a lot over the last week, Elizabeth. Taking out the Assad gods in Coleman's land is just a bonus. I mostly convinced the Ice Temple gods to work for me. They just want to redeem themselves, so I'll spare them when the reckoning comes," Nox said.Elizabeth was stunned. She had no idea what the Ice Temple was, so Nox just wasted his time for nothing. Black Tortoise laughed. "Milord, you do embellish your stories sometimes. You went all the way to Mystia and beat up the Ice Temple's Lord and even made a video about him begging for his life to show his followers. That's the real reason they submitted to you."Ice Temple's Lord was almost having a breakdown. That fight was humiliating enough, yet Black Tortoise was bringing it up again. He protested, "Enough! I only surrendered to the God of Murder, not you! He acknowledged that, too!"Yes, that was what Nox said. Ice Temple would only submit to Nox. They would rather be his slaves than yield to Faeast. The latter would at least

    The mention of God lit up something in Elizabeth's eyes. Black Tortoise knew what she wanted to ask, so he answered, "The Temple of God was destroyed by the other temples hundreds of years ago. There are still remnants roaming around, but they're not major gods."Elizabeth felt her faith crumble. This was different from what her church taught her. 'Even God died?'"Mystia's factions are now divided into Three Paths, Six Halls, and Twelve Pavilions. The Three Paths are the path of the sword, the path of the martial, and the path of the ancient divine. "The Six Halls are the Beast Temple, the Ice Temple, the Olympians, the Assad Temple, the Temple of Fire, and the Eternal Bliss Temple. The Twelve Pavilions change a lot, so I'll spare you the details."To make things simple, the people in Mystia are just cultivators who can absorb natural energy. They aren't that mysterious. Mythology is nothing but a big scam," said Black Tortoise.Elizabeth's view of the world shattered. She was e

    Ice Temple's cultivators were surprised. 'It's going to be that simple?' they thought. They assumed Nox would make them fight the Assad Temple's gods and the other temples as well. Protecting Elizabeth would be easy."You think it's going to be easy? Don't underestimate the princess of the Mortal Realm. She represents the legitimacy of the royal family. They have made her next in line, and the people expect that. "The Assad Temple wants to control Brundela, not plunge it into hell. They don't want to destroy Brundela. Their aim is to control its wealth."The ruler could be either Dickson or Elizabeth. Brundela would be plunged into disarray depending on the candidate, as how the nation is ruled would be affected. So, the Assad gods will kill Elizabeth themselves," Nox clarified.Only then did the Ice Temple gods realize what their job really was."Worry not, God of Murder. I shall protect the princess of Brundela myself. Even if Oudin himself were to come, I will duel him," the T

    Elizabeth thought about her lineage and fell into a pit of sorrow. 'No, we're not a match.' For some reason, she felt like crying. Her heart was breaking. She then snapped out of it and realized Nox was the one feeling sad. She was just caught up in his emotions."The Nine-State Lord is the Sovereign of Faeast and its guardian. Even a legendary man like him can feel sad over something?" She then remembered about his apparent death at the Ocean of Death. He was almost killed because of a betrayal from the woman he loved."Aphrodite Mousse. The goddess of love and beauty. James told me about her before. She's a legendary woman in Faeast as well. She calls herself the smartest female tactician, but James called her a viper who'd stop at nothing to get what she wants."Then, a cold gust of wind assailed Elizabeth, and someone shouted. Elizabeth jumped and fell to the ground. Nox heard Elizabeth's mutterings. When she brought up Aphrodite, it got to him, and bloodlust spilled into the ai

    "A hero?" Nox smiled. That was the first time someone called him that. "That's not a good title. Heroes never end well. I'd rather be a God of Murder, like the Mystians call me," he joked."Did you say knights?" Nox then looked outside the castle.Elizabeth was stunned and confused. Since Nox was teasing, she retorted cheekily, "Are you saying a knight's really going to come to protect me?"The sound of a trumpet came blowing in right after she said that, followed by the sounds of ancient Brundelan organs. Sounds of hooves clapping against the earth echoed through the air, and a group of knights armed to the teeth marched into the castle.Banners of ancient Brundelan flags billowed among them. Elizabeth recognized those. "That's the banner of the Holy Knights! And the Knights of Marta! And the Knights of Theton."These were the most famous knight orders in medieval Eropa. Elizabeth also saw some lesser-known orders, like the Knights of Saint Diego. These knights were clad in ancie

    Dominic was the world's top swordsman. He wouldn't let a young guy like Kirin look down on him. Kirin only laughed. "World's top swordsman? Come on, old man. Don't push yourself. You're the second best now.""You bastard! He only got to me because I was distracted. I'll show you why I'm the best! Come, Heaven's Fountain!" Dominic's sword flew into the air and summoned a heavenly fountain from the skies. The water spilled and turned into a structure a thousand feet tall.Heaven's Fountain was at the heart of this sword domain. Within the domain, Dominic could teleport, and he could go anywhere inside the domain. He was handling all nine enemies easily. They couldn't even stop him, and soon, Dominic's sword was dicing them up."Perfect!" Kirin grinned and dispelled his avatar. He melted into the shadows and cut off the enemies like a blade of darkness. Kirin was a very genuine fighter. He might be obsessed with combat, but he didn't much care about honor or fairness.

    He held up two fingers, and one sword split into ten thousand. He swung his fingers, and the sea of swords sliced through all the escaping enemies. The enemies' leaders were shocked and furious. They couldn't believe Nox was this powerful. They thought Nox was only on par with Kirin, but no. He was stronger.And they hated him for destroying the path of the martial's foundation. They spent so much time and resources raising these elites, but Nox and Kirin killed them all in the blink of an eye. Even if they could escape unscathed, their faction was already chipped away. Not even a thousand years was enough to heal up.Worse, Nox wasn't going to let them escape unscathed. "The God of Murder, the pinnacle of the path of the ancient divine, and the world's strongest swordsman. They're working together. We might not get out of this alive."The enemies knew Nox and his team wouldn't let them escape, and they gave up on retreating. If they did, none of them could escape. They had to work

    The voice rumbled the mountains themselves. Kirin, in his sacred beast form, descended upon the path of the sword. He was the size of a hill, and he crashed into Edgegrounds. However, not only did he not destroy the place, but his Saint energy's timely infusion replenished the formation's power.Dos felt energy coursing through his veins, and a wave of incredible will-of-the-sword spread everywhere. It swept through everything in a few miles, and tens of thousands of enemies were culled.No one in Faeast knew Kirin, but Mystia's people knew he was a madman. A killer. A butcher. And he was the God of Murder's follower. If he was here, Nox wasn't far behind.Nox was nearby, and the swordsmen's morale rose at a blistering speed once the news hit them. The path of the martial's people, however, felt their hearts stopping. They lost tens of thousands of elites at once, and their morale had never been lower."Finally. If you had come one moment later, we'd be gone," Dos roared, crawling

    Kirin happily flew toward the path of the sword's grounds. Fiery Ignis, however, was worried about Nox. "Be careful, boy. The path of the martial didn't send anyone after you. That can only mean one thing: almost all of their forces are attacking the path of the sword. If you go there, they will attack you as well.""Don't worry. I know what I'm doing," said Nox.Fiery Ignis led his temple's cultivators and the Ice Temple guys toward the path of the sword as well. After the group was gone, Nox kept sending messages everywhere. If any of his mentors were coming his way, they would be redirected to the path of the sword.Then, Nox and the ladies went to the path of the sword. At the same time, the path of the sword had set up defensive formations at every entrance, but they had all fallen. The path of the martial's people was in a melee with the swordsmen.The swordsmen were stretched thin, and it was a matter of time before they were annihilated. Some of them were defending the entr

    Jonah came closer and told Nox everything. Nox nodded. "Saints of the Five Elements. They responded to my call first."Fiery Ignis said, "And they're very fickle people. You can't trust them.""Don't worry. They like me, and I know exactly what they want. Only I can help them with their path. No one else can. They must be hitting their bottlenecks, so they're in a hurry to help me out. Only when I grow in power can they use the Sacred Beast Seal to devour sacred beast bones and go further."Back then, he taught the five of them the Sacred Beast Seal, and they taught him the secret arts of the five elements. Back then, Nox was not as powerful. They were already at a bottleneck, and the seal's level wasn't up there yet.Nox had become more powerful, and once he taught them the leveled-up version of the seal, they could continue their training."I see. That's a relief." Fiery Ignis felt better. He looked at Jonah. The guy might be craven and servile, but his luck was great.Nox's me

    "With the phoenix's bloodline, she can live for ten thousand years, at least. That's more than enough time to become a Great Saint," said Fiery Ignis. Technically speaking, talent didn't matter as long as a cultivator had enough time and resources. Those alone could make anyone a Great Saint.However, reality was often… different. Cultivators would run into a lot of things beyond their control. Even if they didn't, lifespan was a problem. They would usually die of old age if they couldn't get to the next level.With the phoenix bloodline, Queenie didn't have to worry about her lifespan. With Nox's power, he could easily get her a place to train until she became a Great Saint. After Queenie came out, it was Nox's turn.Fiery Ignis couldn't sense his aura. His divine sense didn't even sense his presence at all. "What is this… Oh, right, if the gap between us is too big, divine sense can't sense them. I wonder how powerful he is now."They came back to the surface, and Fiery Ignis ask

    Fiery Ignis would not leave anything to chance. If he made the wrong choice, the effects would be disastrous.Jonah had no choice but to wait outside the temple. If the path of the martial assaulted them, the Ice Temple people would be cannon fodder.Days went by. Nox had been in isolation for more than a week. The altar, after a long silence, finally reacted. Fiery Ignis' divine sense had been keeping an eye on it."Finally!" He was excited. After more than a month, Nox was finally coming out.Everyone was waiting with bated breath, and then Nineve came out. Fiery Ignis sensed her power level immediately. She was Pinnacle Legend Realm and nearly a faux Saint. "Not much difference. She was about the same level before going in. Her talent is limited. Though she has a Sovereign bloodline, her own talent is lacking."Fiery Ignis guessed that she'd finished training a while ago and had been waiting for everyone else. As he guessed, Nineve had finished training a while ago. Though the

    'He's improving fast.'"Temple Lord, you told me that Mr. Nox has taken the Ice Temple for himself. Do you think they've turned their backs on him?" a cultivator from the Temple of Fire asked."Not sure, but a Three-ring can't impact anything," said Fiery Ignis.Though the Ice Temple had a lot of people, if they thought they could stop Nox, they would be underestimating the Temple of Fire's power.Jonah noticed the fighting spirit rising in Fiery Ignis, and he quickly said telepathically, "We're here to help you. Nox is my lord. I have sworn my loyalty to him. I would never turn my back on him."Fiery Ignis was one of the oldest people in Mystia. He didn't believe Jonah at all. "Give me a reason. Why should I trust you? Who sent you here?" Fiery Ignis asked back telepathically. He refused to let these Ice Temple people go further.The scout could sense something was wrong, and he turned on the Ice Temple guys. Jonah finally told Fiery Ignis who sent him.

    Katherine was being docile here because Nox possessed the Nine-State Crucible. Only people from her faction knew how powerful that item was. They only managed to rise to power because the crucible went missing.Nox said nothing more. He infused his Saint power into the altar, and it woke up. The moment it did, a small space opened up, isolated from the world. Through the altar's entrance, everyone saw the ancient energy within. It was huge. Enough for Nox's use.Then, the energy started to leak. Not even Nox could stop that. "This thing is connected to the island. The whole place is radiating energy. Pick up the pace, people," Nox said.Everyone went into the altar's chamber and quickly took in the energy.Fiery Ignis was on the island, taking the Altar back. He sensed the spilling energy, and he knew Nox had begun. "Get ready, people. If Nox breaks through smoothly, we'll fight with the path of the sword. If he fails… be prepared to fight to the death," he said to the survivors te
