Xiao Lin, who had wanted to continue his attack suddenly felt a sense of unease. Activating Ruin had increased his perception dramatically, and he immediately decided to fall back. The others had thought Xiao Lin was scared and silently felt happy. After all, the fight would ultimately decide who had the right to rule.

Roar!

Valen suddenly let out an animalistic roar in mid-air, the roar resounding throughout the banquet hall like thunder. Even the walls that could withstand strong spells started to shake.

A green light started to rise from Valens body, and green circles started to ripple outward. An unfathomable power surged out from his body like a violent volcanic eruption. Suddenly, every corner was filled with enough power to kill.

In the veil of green light, Valen was rapidly undergoing a shocking change. His skinny, human body started to grow larger and taller, and his muscles rapidly expanded, resulting in his shirt ripping apart, revealing his bare upper body. His shocking muscles looked hard as steel, even reflecting light like it was a metal. It was hard to believe that he was once a weak necromancer.

The most terrifying things were two pitch-black, half-meter long horns that started to grow out from Valens forehead, and an oval shaped object grew right in the middle. He started to look like a devil staring at everyone.

Boom!

The transformed Valen waved his hand, and a streak of green light shot out, turning a few that were nearby into powder.

Soul Disintegration?

No! How could Soul Disintegration be so strong?!

A few shocked voices could be heard, and Valen laughed coldly. Id rather call this skill my Disintegration Ray. Haha, if youre smart enough, you should know what this skill does!

Xiao Lin turned around and at the old man; the old man with a broken arm was noticeably dispirited. The Soul Disintegration from earlier was still affecting him, but he still tried his best to explain, The Argos clan is also an ancient family. Soul Disintegration is a cruel spell that was invented back then, but the spell had long since deteriorated after being passed down so many times. If Valen isnt lying, then what he is using is probably the original spell from back then! Its a spell that kills the soul directly!

The old man urgently said, Xiao Lin! The situation has gone out of control. We need to leave quickly. Youre no longer a match for him!

Xiao Lins greatest trump card was his resurrection ability as a colonist, so he was not afraid of Soul Disintegration, but the Disintegration Ray was definitely terrifying.

Xiao Lin was shocked. Just as the old man said, if the Disintegration Ray really did directly kill the soul, then it was a natural counter to the colonists! For Valen Argos to do so much to acquire that spell, his sights definitely did not lie only on that tiny little royal city.

Whats the deal with how Valen looks? Dont tell me hes being possessed by some old ancestor or broke some old seal, returning to an ancient form? Xiao Lin could not help but crack a joke despite the tense atmosphere.

The Argos clan is a clan of necromancers. Even back then, necromancers were already like this. They have nothing to change back into! The old man was not joking around.

Fine, I understand, he doesnt look like a necromancer at all, so you dont know whats happening?

Yes

Wow, its rare to hear that from you.

Xiao Lin pursed his lips, looking back at the demon-like Valen. He temporarily stopped after killing a number of the other guests in a terrifying manner. After all, his end goal was not to kill everyone. He then shouted out in a deep voice, Kneel down and swear your allegiance to me! Or die!

Kneel down and swear your allegiance to me! Or die!

Kneel down and swear your allegiance to me! Or die!

Kneel down and swear your allegiance to me! Or die!

The thunderous voice echoed, carrying a strange sort of magic. Everyone who heard it had a look of struggle on their face before finally shuddering as they slowly knelt down.

Hey, whats going on! Are you trying to betray Her Highness Ibeiya?! Xiao Lin did not feel anything, but he turned around to look at the one-handed old man with a look of struggle on his face. His legs were shuddering, looking like he was about to kneel down.

I-I cant hold it back. Cur-curses, des-despicable! The old man panted, as if suffering from an intense pressure, not even managing to speak properly.

Its useless! As long as you have the blood of the dark races in your veins, then you wont be able to stand up against this power! Valen was very happy with what he had caused. In the kneeling crowd, Xiao Lin naturally stood out, and Valens sights quickly landed on him.

Ahem, it seems like youre stronger than I thought. Whatever, I wont interfere in the matters of the dark races. Ill take my leave now. Goodbye?

Xiao Lin! Did you think I would let you go after you destroyed my castle? Valen suddenly shouted with rage.

Ahem, so you admitted it. I thought youd be more stubborn than that. Valen finally admitted that he had known that it was Xiao Lin who infiltrated his castle, so Xiao Lin naturally dropped all pretenses, coldly smiling as he said, Im very curious; if you have so much power, why didnt you stop me when I was in the castle?

If he didnt stop me, if the preparations were already done then Regretfully, Valens words stopped there.

I heard you were the most exceptional among those your age in Dawn Academy! If its age, then I should be the same as you. Lets test it out and see whos stronger. Is it you outsiders from a foreign world, or me, who inherited the ancient dark bloodline! Valen said wildly before throwing a sword toward Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin was shocked. Valens words were not hard to understand; he definitely was the most exceptional among Dawn Academys new students, but that was the internal business of the academy. How could a small-fry necromancer like him know about that?

Ill return this to you. I dont want anyone to say Im bullying someone without a weapon!

Stuck on the floor was the Holy Sword that Xiao Lin had gotten Lu Renjia to make. It was a weapon with Gold-ranked destructiveness.
