Dead silence, absolute silence.
At this moment, there was no sound in the entire courtyard.
The only sound that exists between heaven and earth is the sound of the cold winter wind that keeps rolling up white fragments.
The moment Victor raised his hand, everyone became aware.
The spear that was deflected was thrown back by Victor using magic.
But at this moment, no one dared to speak.
Countless nobles could only stand there blankly.
The last image reflected in their eyes was the despairing ecstasy in the eyes of the second prince who had transformed into a bull-headed demon.
However, this ecstasy was fleeting.
As the cold voice sounded, everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on Victor.
The huge bull-headed demon fell helplessly on the ground, and the red light in its deep eye sockets had completely dimmed.
It means that it can no longer make any sound.
At the same time, Liya in the distance had her mind empty.
She stared blankly at the bull-headed demon that could no longer move, and the corners of her mouth trembled and twitched unconsciously:
"Then...that second prince...no, no, no, that devil..."
"Is he...dead?"
What happened just now?
The head of the Reese family can fly?
No, no, that's not the issue.
Victor killed the second prince! ?
Yep! This is it!
At that moment, Liya took a deep breath, and finally collapsed weakly into Gwen's arms beside her.
It's over, it's all over now.
The demon hunter wearing a wide hood also raised his head slightly, and his eyes hidden in the shadows also fell on the body of the second prince.
At this moment, there was no one's voice.
There was only a heavy silence that enveloped everyone present.
At the same time, a voice talking to himself sounded in the sky.
"Huh? So that's it?"
At this time, Kokot was lying on the clouds in a very comfortable posture.
She rested her cheeks on her hands and swung her feet back and forth.
As his eyes fell on Naliboot, a hint of enlightenment flashed in Kokot's clear eyes.
To put it simply, she saw the defensive golden light that just appeared on the second prince's body.
No wonder Victor asked her to warn the Mages Council in the first place.
At first, she thought Victor was asking her to invite people from the Mages Council to come to the empire to deal with demons.
Now it looks like I caught a bigger fish.
Looking at Lipoot, who was surrounded by golden light, Kokot held his face, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.
"So, how do you keep it?"
However, before she could start thinking, a new situation appeared below.
A gurgling sound slowly sounded from the broken courtyard.
The moment the sound sounded, everyone's eyes turned to the source of the sound.
That's the second prince.
At this moment, his bull-headed body seemed to turn into boiling liquid, with black foam rising on the surface of his body.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the demon clinging to the surface of the second prince's body began to slowly peel off from his body.
The loose black smoke condensed into a ball and slid down the second prince's clothes like melted flesh.
The strong fishy smell instantly filled the entire courtyard.
Until all the flesh and blood of the bull-headed demon broke away, Owesser's body was exposed from it.
He seemed to have replaced the bull-headed demon just now, lying on the ground, motionless.
His eyes were obviously open, but they looked empty and lifeless.
And on his limbs, lips and forehead, there are still those extremely leaking holes of flesh and blood.
A silence swept over the crowd again.
But this time, the eldest prince's voice suddenly sounded in the silence:
"O...Oweise!"
Albany almost subconsciously jumped in front of Oweise.
He was half-kneeling on the ground, shaking the other party's unresponsive body.
However, as if he had given up his breath, Oweise didn't react at all.
The nobles who watched this scene felt like thunder falling in their heads, constantly exploding in their minds.
Dead...dead?
The second prince is dead! ?
The nobles who originally supported the second prince's succession saw this scene, and their eyes suddenly darkened.
Almost instantly, the heavy reality swallowed them up mercilessly, causing them to collapse sideways unable to accept it.
But fortunately, there were people beside them to support their bodies so that their heads would not touch the ground.
"Baron Hunter, are you okay?"
The noble who almost fell was helped up by the person next to him. He smiled kindly at the other person and took a deep breath.
But all of them knew it, and they all fell silent in tacit agreement.
The Second Prince's faction is completely over.
Seeing this friendly atmosphere of 'brothers, friends and brothers', there was no mercy in Claudia's eyes.
She slowly took off the silver mask on her face, revealing her face.
Half of the face looked normal, while the other half was covered in blood-red lines.
Finally, she looked at the unconscious second prince mercilessly and gave the order calmly.
"Take the second prince away."
The demon hunters who received the order acted quickly, ignoring everyone present.
And in front of the eldest prince, he forcefully dragged the second prince's body away from the courtyard.
Albany could only watch the second prince gradually retreating away.
He half-knelt on the ground, slowly raised his head, and looked at Claudia who gave the order.
He could clearly see his mother's face.
Especially the half of his face covered in red lines filled him with a strong sense of strangeness.
"Queen mother, Oweise..."
"He needs to take responsibility for everything he did."
After saying this, she never looked at Albany again.
He turned his attention to Victor and Lipoot.
After everything that had just happened, everyone knew that there was definitely something wrong with Lipoot.
Especially Claudia, she felt the mysterious power of Lipoot most intuitively.
The golden countercurrent that can deflect her attacks is definitely not an accident.
And the most important thing is that everything that happens here today has Lipoot's participation.
Whether it's the chaos in the south or the demons that appeared today.
However, what she didn't understand was that Lipoot didn't seem to care about Oweiser's life or death.
After Oweser was attacked, he was stunned for only a brief moment.
It wasn't until Owesser was taken away that Lipoot put on a relieved smile again.
His eyes were locked tightly on Victor, with golden light shining in his eyes:
"Victor Cravener."
"I've been paying attention to you, starting from the moment you were no longer willing to be ordinary."
At this time, Lipoot suddenly raised his head, and his golden eyes casually glanced at the nobles present.
Whenever his eyes fell on one of the nobles, that noble would subconsciously lower his head and avoid his sight involuntarily.
Lipoot just looked at the reactions of the nobles around him in amusement, and continued:
"You should know the filthiness of this group of people better than I do."
"They're greedy, they're selfish."
"Their desires can never be satisfied."
Whenever he said a word, the nobles around him would recall with shame the shameful appearance of them arguing over a few gold coins.
The more they recalled it, the lower their spines became.
Lipoot slowly turned his head and locked his eyes on Victor again.
He narrowed his eyes, and his words seemed to contain a strong and magical temptation:
"But you, Victor, you are different."
"You naturally think highly of yourself and never bow to anyone. This is also the starting point of your much criticism."
Geniuses are always lonely, and geniuses who are not gregarious will be even more isolated.
The former Victor proved this very well.
Although they were both nobles, he despised everyone equally.
"Because you know how dirty they are!"
Lipoot roared angrily.
His whole body began to lean back, his head raised, and he looked toward the sky.
As the golden quicksand in his eyes moved rapidly, a slender crack seemed to be torn open in the deep clouds.
A faint layer of light fell in the air, falling on his handsome face.
Lipoot was bathed in this light and slowly closed his eyes:
"So, this world needs a complete reshuffle."
His voice was very soft, but it seemed to have a shocking vibrato.
It was like the solemn bells in a church ringing melodiously, triggering a strong resonance.
This sentence made all the nobles widen their eyes, shock and incredible emotions intertwined on their faces.
In full view of everyone, Lipoot smiled and turned his attention to Victor again:
"Victor, you are very strong, so strong that you will not be swayed by your emotions."
"I've always admired you."
"so……"
Bathed in golden light, he slowly stretched out his hand towards Victor.
"Join us and let us change this dirty world..."
Before he finished speaking, the figure wearing a jet-black trench coat flashed in front of Lipoot's calm face.
And punched him in the face.
The high-speed fist cut through the space and set off a strong air explosion in front of Libot's face.
The surrounding sounds seemed to fall into silence with the punch.
But Lipoot watched all this calmly, with a disdainful golden light shining in his eyes.
How can the mage's fist break my proud defense...
Click.
Along with a clear cracking sound, the punch landed firmly on Libot's face.
At this moment, the golden light barrier in front of his face was shattered and a slight crack opened.
In an instant, the crack began to gradually expand, and countless tiny crack marks appeared around the impact point of the fist.
Click!
boom!
A crisp shattering sound sounded, and countless tiny golden fragments scattered in the air.
Before Lipoot could open his eyes, he saw Victor's direct fist falling on his face.
boom--! ! !
Under the blessing of the terrifying power, a large piece of Lipoot's face collapsed.
A wave rippled through the flesh, and even the chin was distorted by the blow.
Under that punch, a violent and huge wave of air was set off from Victor's feet, spreading violently to the surroundings.
Countless nobles were blown away by this wave of air and couldn't open their eyes. They could only raise their hands and cover themselves with difficulty.
Lipoot had already drawn a long golden trajectory along with the broken golden light and fragments.
Like a shooting star with a trailing tail, it flew far away along with the air wave.
boom!
There was a terrifying sound of shattering stones, and Lipoot's whole body smashed into the wall of the courtyard.
His limbs were twisted and he was foaming at the mouth.
At that moment, even the golden eyes lost focus.
The nobles put down their hands in a daze, and their heads suddenly buzzed and fell into a blank.
Suddenly, they realized something, and everyone looked in the direction of Victor.
At some point, his left hand held a golden bird-headed staff.
The staff seemed to be still flowing with magic power, constantly transmitting some kind of power to Victor's arm.
One of his eyes shimmered with a faint blue light, like a flame swaying in the air.
Even the pitch-black crows on the shoulders were covered with a light layer of bright blue.
As if he had done something trivial, Victor withdrew his right fist and shook it casually.
Amidst everyone's wide-eyed shock and confusion, his cold voice sounded:
"Did I let you talk?"
