Meanwhile, James returned to the terrace of the City Lord’s Mansion.Quinella followed him.James sat down in a gazebo in the backyard and rested. He looked at Quinella, the armored female general, and asked, “What’s the matter? Do you need something?”Quinella said seriously, “Your Majesty, the King of Korinth has always been a vindictive man. You killed many of Korinth’s Sages, so it’s likely that they’ll hold a grudge against you. I have a suspicion that the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch will try and strike back at you.”James waved his hand lightly and said, “There’s nothing to worry about. Just leave these matters to me. Anyway, I have something for you to do.”“Please give your orders, Your Majesty.”“There are rumors that the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword housed in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion has been lost. I also heard about Sangria’s lost Imperial Jade Seal. I want you to announce to the world that we’re looking for these two items, and we’ll greatly reward anyone who provide
James waited for the Korinthian Army to strike at Macchia City again.However, there was no movement by the Korinthian Army in the days that proceeded.James was unaware that the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch had already made his way to Macchia City. However, despite being a Sage in the Eighth Stage, he could not sneak into Macchia City to investigate because of the high security.Since he could not infiltrate Macchia City, he had no choice but to turn back to the Yantargh Canyon and join up with the Korinthian Army.“What’s the situation there, Sir?”The chancellor prodded the Patriarch as soon as he arrived at the Yantargh Canyon.In a solemn tone, Korinth Sect’s Patriarch said, “Macchia City is heavily guarded, so I couldn’t infiltrate the city.”The chancellor asked, “Then what do we do now?”The Korinth Sect’s Patriarch thought for a while and said, “There’s no other option but to force our way into the city. Pass on the order and assemble our forces. We’re going to lay siege o
The four of them remained around the area for the time being as they awaited the Korinthian Army’s arrival.They all gave off an air of nonchalance because they knew the strongest person in Korinth was the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch.Apart from Delainey, the other three people present could easily defeat or even kill the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch.“Leave this to me, Your Majesty.”Winnie stepped forward and looked at James imploringly.As Winnie continuously improved her cultivation rank, her Scythe of Judgment grew stronger. However, she had not fought against a real enemy and did not know how strong her Scythe of Judgment was exactly.“No.”James shot down Winnie’s request to fight alone.“Stay put for now and don’t take action without my orders.”“F-Fine,” Winnie answered reluctantly.Delainey, on the other hand, remained silent. Although she reached the Sage Rank’s Fifth Stage, she recognized she was no match for an opponent at the Sage Rank’s Eighth Stage.Walganus also re
“Stand back,” James ordered sternly.His enemy this time was not an ordinary person but a powerful Sage at the Eighth Stage.Although James’ physical strength was at the Sage Rank’s Fifth Stage, his opponent was three stages higher than him and could feasibly break through his body’s defenses or possibly even kill him.James was about to utilize Sacrilegious Ascension, the dragon bone, and the Five Elements of Genesis to augment his strength. Before he could do anything, Winnie had already dashed out ahead of him.“Our Emperor is the noblest man in our country. You're unworthy of being His Highness’ opponent. If you want to fight him, you must get past me first.”Winnie hovered in the air.Dressed in dazzling golden armor, she looked rather dashing as her long black hair fluttered in the wind.“This girl.” James gave her an exasperated look.He refused to let Winnie get involved in the fight, yet she defied his orders.Korinth Sect’s Patriarch was taken aback to see a woman ch
When he saw Winnie get injured, James wanted to intervene in the fight.However, he sensed an intense aura coming from Winnie’s body.James knew it was likely the Scythe of Judgement because it was the only desperate measure Winnie had in her arsenal.He had seen the Scythe of Judgement before but was uncertain how strong it was.Driven by curiosity, he did not rush to interfere in the battle but waited and watched. If Winnie was truly in dire straits, he would take action immediately.After the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch wounded Winnie with his previous attack, he also sensed the strong force emanating from Winnie’s body.“This girl is unusual.”The Korinth Sect’s Patriarch looked ahead with a sense of trepidation, and his murderous intent heightened.The most important thing was to kill his opponent as soon as possible.After he resolved to kill Winnie, the energy emanating from his body also grew more intense, and the long sword in his hand glowed even brighter.“This is dan
Winnie’s face bore a cold expression.She held the black scythe in her hand.Black energy emerged from the scythe and gathered together to form a phantom scythe.The scythe was about 100 meters long and exuded devastating power.Even James was shocked and exclaimed inadvertently upon seeing it, “What overwhelming strength.”At that moment, the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch drew upon all his strength and charged at Winnie with the intent to kill her.As soon as he moved, her scythe formed by black energy slashed down at him.The black scythe struck the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch.“Argh!!!” The Korinth Sect’s Patriarch let out a scream.He froze in the air in disbelief as his eyes widened.“Argh! Nooo…”His horrified voice echoed through the sky.As the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch's voice resounded, the black scythe struck his body and the man exploded. He was reduced to nothing in an instant.“What in the…?”In the distance, the chancellor trembled in fear and stumbled backward upon
James only gave Winnie a light scolding.However, these issues were his to settle, and he did not want to sully Winnie’s hands in the process.Winnie put away the Scythe of Judgment, and her expression returned to normal. She looked at James and stuck out her tongue, saying, “You’re not going to reprimand me for going into battle without your order, are you?”James wanted to scold her but could not bring himself to do it.“You had better not act like this again.”“Alright, I understand.” Winnie nodded obediently.The Korinthian Army suffered heavy losses.Winnie’s effortless onslaught with the Scythe of Judgment caused the deaths of several million soldiers.After witnessing the ruthlessness of Sangria’s forces, the chancellor lost all desire to fight back.Suddenly, James appeared in front of Chancellor Ylfioss.“You…”Ylfioss was frightened of him and instinctively backed away from James.James stared at him and said coldly, “Sangria doesn’t wish to be anyone’s enemy, but
James said smilingly, “The world is vast, and contains many wonders. What’s so strange about her? Sangria is considered one of the biggest countries in Galileo. It’s quite common for powerhouses to have stayed hidden during their time as soldiers.”Walganus frowned and said, “What I’m suspicious of is her weapon.”James looked at Walganus and asked, “Oh? What’s wrong? Do you recognize her weapon?”“I think so, but I can’t be sure yet.”“Where’s her weapon from?” asked James.“Forget it. You wouldn’t know even if I told you.” Walganus did not choose to elaborate. Since it was a weapon from the Primeval Age, he figured James would not know anything even if he explained it to him.Afterward, James continued to stay in Macchia City.This time, the Korinthian Army completely withdrew their troops from the Yantargh Canyon and returned to their base in Korinth.The chancellor kneeled in Korinth Palace’s main hall and reported the details of their battle.After Korinth’s Emperor heard
