Chapter 1042: Chapter 532: Seizing the Lorin Duchy

"Regicide!"

"He is a regicide! He killed the Emperor, who for the first time died at the hands of a subject, he betrayed his own faith..."

"Wicked Frank!"

The soldiers and lords of the Holy Empire could not comprehend this spectacle. They were filled with outrage and began to curse Louis XI, the killer of the Emperor.

’Crack~’

Lightning flashed across the sky, clearing the turbid and purified, splitting open all that was tainted by the Law above, followed by a blood rain falling from the heavens.

The entire Magic Dark Forest Universe seemed to weep.

Great winds rose within the heavens and the earth, the sound faint yet profoundly sorrowful, as if heaven and earth themselves were weeping.

The rain fell to the ground, mixing with the soil, and despite the lack of seeds, a vibrant red flower bloomed—a plant never before seen in this world, each bloom infused with a special magic power, strongly countering the one who killed the Emperor.

The Emperor was the emperor of mankind, the emperor of this world, the embodiment of the universal Law. His death caused the heavens and earth to mourn, and all things hated the murderer who killed the Emperor.

Louis XI suddenly felt rejected by this world. The unnamed red flowers blooming at his feet made them intensely itchy, and their scent caused his skin to become allergic.

Although he was not the direct regicide, he was the indirect cause of Emperor Aoyue III’s death, thus those blood-rain-bloomed flowers had a restraining effect on him.

Louis XI’s thoughts raced. ’These flowers possess the power to restrain the Immortal Body. The juice of these flowers can temporarily suppress the undead abilities of the Immortal Body. Could the true killer of Emperor Aoyue III be one of the undead?’

’The only one possessing such a powerful undying ability must be a vampire.’

"But that familiar magic power makes me think it was Ivita’s doing. Is Ivita a vampire? But if he’s not a vampire, why would the objects of restraint born between heaven and earth be filled with the power to restrain undead creatures?"

Louis XI murmured to himself, then realized, "Witch Group, surround and slay the Law Knight Regiment, kill Duke Gugel."

The Witch Groups immediately commanded their summoned creature armies to attack Duke Gugel and the Law Knight Regiment, whom the Emperor had died protecting. By this time, Duke Gugel had already made his escape according to Emperor Aoyue III’s last commands and no longer engaged in the battle.

Seeing this, Louis XI used magic to address all the soldiers, "According to our wager, Emperor Aoyue III is now dead, and thus all that was his belongs to me. The Holy Empire is dissolved, and you small nation alliances should also disband and voluntarily join the Frank Empire!"

The Frankish people roared with excitement.

"As for the Emperor... The one who killed him is not I, but another, it is..." Louis XI did not want to bear the responsibility of killing the Emperor; the killer of the Emperor would inevitably be cursed by the world.

Rejected by heaven and earth, suppressed by the universal Law.

But his words sparked jeers from the Holy Empire’s army and lords.

The soldiers of the Holy Empire looked wrathfully at the Emperor of Frank.

"Liar, we saw you kill the Emperor with our own eyes..."

"We saw you unable to hide your shame amid the blood flowers; we witnessed you, you charlatan, deceiving us here, you fraud!"

Faced with the curses, Louis XI was internally furious. "So be it, then I won’t say more, you all shall die. Go follow your Emperor to the grave."

With that, he ordered a full assault. Without their Emperor, his army was headless and could not resist, only to be vanquished.

In the woods, Louis XI, looking at his complete victory, laughed loudly. At the same time, he searched for Ivita’s presence with his magic. "You must be hiding, most likely because your injuries have not yet healed."

"Now that I have claimed everything, all that’s left is to kill you."

"Ivita, won’t you come out?"

Louis XI glanced at the Witch Group guarding him. "Force him out with magic, then kill him..."

At that moment, Louis XI’s eyelids twitched as he saw countless figures of light appearing in the sky, with The Great Lord of Black Death advancing towards them.

French Emperor Louis XI was furiously astonished, hastily forgetting his search for Ivita and glaring venomously at the puppets of The Great Lord of Black Death.

"Their target... is the Emperor’s corpse. Damn it, I absolutely can’t let The Great Lord of Black Death get ahold of the Emperor’s body, otherwise, I truly won’t be able to control the Black Death and these figures of light."

"Witch Groups, immediately guard the Emperor’s corpse, it must not be taken from us. The army..."

Louis XI looked at the battling troops, knowing now he had no way to command the army to protect Emperor Aoyue III’s corpse.

Otherwise, his army would be devoured by the desperate soldiers of the Holy Empire.

...

The new Patriarch of the Blood Race, Wilson, with Ivita’s help through space magic, quickly fled to a deep, dark cavern thirty miles away from the battlefield.

He hid deep within the cave, his skin turning gray-white, his muscles rapidly withering away.

The blood flowers outside the cave were too damaging to him.

Were it not for hiding inside the cave, those blood flowers would have killed him; even breathing was painful, as the air was still tainted with the scent of the blood flowers.
