Chapter 470: Demon King

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Montson was a great distance away from the Magical Beast Territory. However, the speed of the Dark Dragon King was now much greater than before. It had rushed to the Great Vasily Cathedral in Montson with the Corpse Wizard King on his back in just four hours. After setting up a Magical Teleportation Formation at the fastest speed possible, Yang Ling led his army and arrived rapidly.

"Ashnamov, instruct your men to hide within the forest. Rodriguez, add a little seasoning into the wine of the soldiers, let them merrily finish their last cup of fine wine!" Yang Ling gave a terse order.

Originally, he had wanted to order his army to swarm forward and storm the Great Vasily Cathedral to catch them off guard. However, after understanding what was happening within the cathedral through Kappa and McGlade's memories, he quickly changed his plan.

The foreign minister Grichie had considerable status and heavy authority within the capital Montson. Even though he was a merciless man and was hailed as an evil wolf by many, there were quite a number of factions who affiliated themselves with him. In order to successfully conduct the wedding of his youngest son Robert, there was a large bunch of city guards outside the cathedral maintaining order, strictly forbidding uninvolved people from barging into the cathedral. However, the enhanced security on the outside was only an appearance. Not only had the defenses within the cathedral not been strengthened, but it had also been relaxed considerably. Many of the patrol teams who would be doing their jobs if this was an average day were now hiding in the army barracks of the cathedral drinking wine.

Since that is the case, it became much more convenient for Yang Ling's army to take action. Rather than send the soldiers and Magical Beasts to unleash a fierce attack, he might as well do something from within the shadows and add a fatal poison within the wine of the Church's knights and Spellcasters. They would then barge out suddenly after most of their enemies lost their ability to do battle. With the poison Alice created and the Corpse Wizard King administering the poison, the success rate of this plan was promising.

After seeing the Corpse Wizard King Rodriguez leave excitedly, Yang Ling ordered Ashnamov to be prepared to attack at any time, then teleported to a dilapidated corner of the cathedral using his Earth Evasion Technique, closely examining the situation within.

The Great Vasily Cathedral was enormous, far larger than anyone could have imagined. Merely the main prayer room alone could fit over two thousand people and was more than enough to host a grand wedding. As the place was too large and too many people had come to attend the ceremony, no one noticed the uninvited guest Yang Ling who had appeared suddenly out of nowhere. Most people swarmed forward excitedly to witness the Red-robed Cardinal host the ceremony.

"Tsk tsk, the greatest beauty of the capital, she's beautiful indeed!"

"Hehe, that lad Robert has it good, forcefully obtaining the beautiful Maslova!"

"That's, of course, how would the downtrodden Lima family dare offend the Banner family that Robert is a part of. As long as the foreign minister Grichie says the word, Maslova's father has no other choice!"

"Shh, softer!"

Looking at the gorgeous bride Maslova, some of them took in her beauty in full, bathing the alluring bride with their naked gaze, awed by her beauty. Others gossiped, whispering the story behind this marriage to the others. n.o.bles were always very interested in gossip like these, especially n.o.ble ladies who had nothing to spend their time on. They were more interested in gossip than the actual wedding.

The bride Maslova was already extremely pretty but looked out of this world after her being dolled-up exquisitely. Her dark, s.h.i.+ny hair reached her shoulder, gently dancing in the wind. The long dress she dragged across the floor attracted the attention of the many young ladies present. Even though he had seen many beautiful ladies, Yang Ling could not help but steal a few more glances at her. However, what he felt was weird was that Maslova, who was supposed to be smiling in bliss, had a calm expression. Some might even say that her expression was a little numb. Her brow was gently knit as if she was feeling a strange sense of melancholy. Looking closely, one would even realize that there were two faint trails on her makeup, left behind by her tears.

Forced marriage?

Hearing the silent discussion of the people present, Yang Ling soon understood what was going on. Even though the n.o.ble ladies had their heads together and were speaking extremely softly, they could only hide what they are talking about from the servants beside them, but not Yang Ling with his superb hearing.

As it turned out, the Casanova Robert was a flirtatious man and would commit any form of evil in the capital. After being unable to obtain the beautiful Maslova, no matter what he tried, he decided to use the influence of his family to force this marriage. Maslova's ancestor was a great general who had fought back the invasion of the Banto Empire and had respectable status. However, after he pa.s.sed on, the family had become downtrodden quickly, with each generation being worse than the last.

When it came to the generation of Maslova's father, he had become just a lowly earl. Even though he was unwilling to marry his daughter off to the Casanova Robert, under the pressure of the powerful Banner family, for the proliferation of his family as well as for the safety of the members of the family, he had no other choice!

"Hehe, this marriage is too timely!" Looking at the incredibly arrogant, s.h.i.+fty-looking Robert, then looking at the foreign minister Grichie by his side, Yang Ling let out a cold sneer, thinking back to past events that were still fresh in his memory.

Back then at Montson, he had encountered the arrogant Robert the moment he entered the castle, the latter instructing his guards to surround him heavily. After that, on the birthday banquet of the emperor, his father, Grichie, had forced him into an intense battle with the powerful Sage-level Expert Santiago. Even though he had managed to eke out a victory, he still had many close shaves. After that, he was chased down by the a.s.sa.s.sins Grichie hired while he was returning to the Magical Beast Territory. If not for Yuna, he might have had died in the hands of the a.s.sa.s.sin Flowing Venom.

The time for his revenge is near!

Originally, Yang Ling had only wanted to destroy the Great Vasily Cathedral. He did not expect to arrive at the wedding of the lad Robert so coincidentally. It was two birds with one stone. He could deal with many problems all at once, burying Robert's family, together with the charlatans of the Church.

Should I kill him with one move, or…Slice off his genitals and make him a helpless eunuch on the night of his matrimony?

Looking at the lecherous Robert, then looking at the scheming Grichie beside him, Yang Ling let out a cold smile, secretly deliberating how best to exact vengeance and vent his frustrations.

"Mister Robert, are you willing to take Miss Maslova as your bride?" Under the witness of the Red-robed Cardinal Sanjala, the wedding reached its final stages.

"I am willing. I am willing!" Looking at the alluring Maslova, thinking about how he could press down on her and do whatever he wanted to her beautiful body later, Robert became extremely excited. His lower body became erect, revealing its ugly head.

"Miss Maslova, are you willing to marry Mister Robert?"

"I…" Looking at the sanctimonious Red-robed Cardinal, looking at the monkey-like disgusting-looking Robert, Maslova was extremely hesitant. Her eyes were red, and she frequently turned to look at the door of the cathedral as if she was waiting for someone or something, not giving the cardinal a reply for the longest time.

"Oh, what's going on?"

"I heard that Maslova has no intention of marrying Robert at all, but has no choice because she's forced to do so!"

Seeing that the bride was not answering for the longest time, the attendees of the wedding whispered to each other, gossip filling every corner. The expression of the Red-robed Cardinal Sanjala did not change, while Robert, by the side, had turned red in anger. He did not expect that Maslova was still unwilling to marry him even at this stage, making him feel as ashamed as he was angry.

"Maslova, answer the cardinal quickly!" Seeing the foreign minister look coldly at himself, Maslova's father trembled, quickly reminding his indignant daughter. Even though he had already known that his daughter had someone she liked, however, in order to ensure the continuation of the family, in order to ensure the safety of the members of the family, there was nothing he could do! The merciless methods of the foreign minister Grichie and his family are widely known within the circle of n.o.bles. It is not something that his small Lima family can deal with.

"Miss Maslova, are you willing to marry Mister Robert?" The expression of the Red-robed Cardinal did not change, repeating his question at the perfect timing. As a charlatan with high status and authority, his demeanor was not something an average person could replicate.

"I…" Feeling for the token of love given to her by her lover in her robes, Maslova closed her eyes helplessly, her tears flowing out involuntarily. Just as she clenched her teeth and was about to go against her conscience and give the cardinal her reply, the door of the cathedral was suddenly kicked open. A tall, handsome young man wearing the uniform of a five-star hunter barged into the cathedral with a bow in his hands, behind him a bunch of soldiers.

"Maslova, let's go, let's leave this place together!" The young hunter disregarded the streaks of blood on his body, shouting as he charged forward quickly. After learning of this alarming news, he had returned to Montson as fast as he could, barging into the cathedral without thinking of the consequences.

Two years ago, he had already secretly exchanged tokens of love with his beloved Maslova. However, in order to repay the debts of his family, he had no choice but to push his marriage back time and time again. In order to quickly earn the crystal coins he needed, he had tossed aside his ident.i.ty as a knight and joined the quickly developing Hunter a.s.sociation, hoping that he could quickly earn a large number of crystal coins after completing a high-level mission. Because of his original abilities as a high-level knight, coupled with the fact that he was intelligent, eager to learn, and did not mind the effort, he quickly grasped several hunting techniques, advancing from a three-star hunter to a five-star hunter.

"Oh… No, Jason, leave quickly, leave this place as fast as possible!" After running into the embrace of her lover, looking at the streaks of blood on his body, Maslova shouted in shock, hoping that Jason would leave quickly. There were a large number of soldiers both outside and within the cathedral. With Jason's individual abilities, there was no way that he could leave safely while bringing her along. If Jason were to get caught, judging from Robert and his family's style of doing things, the outcome would be disastrous.

"Hehe, exciting, things are getting more and more exciting!" Seeing the young man Jason charge into the cathedral despite the danger, seeing the uniform representing his status as a five-star hunter, then looking at the furious Robert about to vomit blood in his depression, Yang Ling had a wide smile on his face.

"Guards, kill, kill him!" Seeing the beautiful Maslova tightly in Jason's embrace, Robert was piping mad, loudly shouting at the warriors by his side. His eyes were red, and his ugly, triangle-shaped head contorted in fury. His facial features seemed to be squeezed together!

"Soldiers, drag him out and tie him up on the Flame Punishment Pillar. G.o.d once said that these cultists are the source of all evil. Judging and burning cultists like these to death is the natural duty of every believer!" After the wedding ceremony was interrupted once again, looking at the insolent hunter Jason, the Red-robed Cardinal could no longer remain calm and collected, issuing a terse order. At that moment, a group of high-level Guardian Knights charged out from within the darkness, swarming forward as they prepared to capture Jason.

As a five-star hunter, Jason had alarming abilities. The knights were no match for him, even if they attacked him together. In the blink of an eye, a few of the soldiers had died by his dagger and sharp arrows. However, he could not deal with the number of knights alone and soon became covered in injuries under the combined attacks of the many soldiers. He could not charge out of his embattlement no matter where he ran. As he lost more and more blood, his reaction speed got slower, and his injuries became more severe. His consciousness was getting hazy.

"No… Don't kill him, I beg you. I am willing. I'll do anything!" After being forcefully dragged away by two soldiers, seeing that her lover Jason is on the brink of death, tears covered Marslova's face as she pleaded loudly. Unfortunately, not only did the soldiers not stop attacking, they instead increased the pace and intensity of their attacks.

"Hehe, exciting, this is too exciting!" Seeing that Marslova was about to commit suicide by running into a wall in her despair, Yang Ling quickly walked over from his dilapidated corner. With every step he took, a soldier would mysteriously die with his blood vessels exploding!

Being instantly subjected to thirty-two times the gravity, none of the soldiers could avoid this crisis!

According to the magical message sent back by the Corpse Wizard King, he had already completed what he had to do. Most of the careless soldiers had unintentionally consumed the wine that had been tampered with a lethal poison. The poison would take effect soon, and without a unique antidote, a Sage-level Expert, or even a Domain Expert, would turn completely numb, losing the ability to do battle. In order to prevent any accidents, now was the time to launch a strong attack!

"Demon king, you…You are the leader of the Magical Beast Territory?" After clearly seeing Yang Ling's figure, the expressions of both the foreign minister Grichie and the high and mighty Red-robed Cardinal Sanjala changed drastically.

Ever since the battle at the Iron Edge Castle, the Church had distributed Yang Ling's portrait to every cathedral, as well as added his name to the top of their wanted list. In the eyes of many, he had already become a terrifying demon lord, a merciless demon lord that led a million Magical Beasts.

"Hehe, finish up your last dinner, it's about time you went on your way!"

Seeing the soldiers steel their nerves and approach him, Yang Ling gave a nonchalant laugh and gently clapped his hands. In that instant, the windows of the cathedral shattered as a wave of Magical Beasts pounced into the hall. In fact, even the st.u.r.dy walls of the cathedral were forcefully smashed apart, revealing bloodthirsty, violent Giant Apes!
