Chapter 562: The New Era

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Outside of the city of Rentato, the scenic view was still picturesque in this scorching July.

The space above the Thousand-lake place swirled and formed a gate. Behind the gate there was a kingdom of powerful magnetic field and electric currents.

Brook, wearing a white wig, walked out of the gate with Chelsea Holt, the Moon Scholar. When they saw that the entire city was still covered in the divine light, which meant that the fight among the legendaries was still going on, they released a sigh of relief, as they finally caught up to them.

At this time, as if he just felt something, Brook looked up and was shocked to find that there was a man in the sunlight in the air, wearing the divine crown and holding the platinum staff.

“Benedict II? God’s Arrival?”

Brook’s eyes opened big, but he still decided to go there.

He did not know where the strong, bright light came from, but he knew that it wasn’t supposed to be God’s Arrival. Benedict II had already used it before!

……

The energy ball was being pulled to the magnetic field, and it was getting faster and faster. Melmax and the rest of the saints started to sense this extreme danger, as if there was a heavy rock sitting on their hearts, preventing them from breathing.

They did not talk to each other, but together they were all targeting at Fernando. They had to kill him to get out of the barrier before the insane energy ball fell on them!

They were all pushing themselves to their limit. All of them had decided to use Light of Judgment. They were furious. If they were going to die, they needed Fernando to die with them!

Majestic and vast, serious and bright, the three beams of light shot across the sky at Fernando, with the power stirring the holy light like surges and waves.

At this time, no one bothered defending. The remaining divine power was all they had protecting them from being torn apart in the barrier. But killing Fernando was all the hope they had.

Melmax and Anthony had put their power into their swords, ready to wield the legendary-power hack.

However, Fernando was not even slightly deterred. Instead, he flew towards the light!

The mirror with sophisticated patterns appeared again, connecting the two worlds to each other.

Bang, bang, bang!

Three beams of light hit the mirror and then reflected off of it.

The power of Abrupt Magic Reverse still existed!

After Fernando flew towards the light of judgment, the power of the hacking quickly got him.

Blood and flesh spurting, the Lord of Storm was cut into three chunks. Somehow, the magic robe he was wearing was not working at all.

He was not wearing the Robe of Dominance? Melmax realized something. He realized why Fernando never used Eye of Storm.

However, it was too late!

Fine electric currents lit up the three chunks, and they started wriggling! Within a second, they had turned into Fernando again, but three!

Even that could not kill Fernando completely?

Melmax and Anthony had given up the hope that they could finish Fernando within seconds by using Light of Judgment, but killing Fernando was the only way out!

Staring into the distance, Mecantron, the Angel King, looked rather serious. He folded his arms in front of his chest and was about to kneel down to cast God’s Guard. Although in this case, he would not be able to launch attacks against the legendaries, he should be able to be safe facing that formidable energy ball – the divine spell would put him into a different dimension temporarily!

However, Douglas, the Emperor of Arcana, would not leave him the chance to escape. The stars pulled the great gravity strong enough for tearing him into pieces. Mecantron therefore had to cast other spells for defense. There was no time at all for him to cast God’s Guard.

“I’m not your God. Don’t kneel down in front of me.” said Douglas.

According to the plan, Douglas’s target should have been Benedict II, the Pope, but now it was the Angel King, therefore, it turned out to be quite an easy job for Douglas. In their original plan no. 4, if the pope had been here, and even if the pope was still somehow able to cast God’s Arrival one more time, in the current situation, the pope’s target of casting must have been the energy ball, or all of them, including the sorcerers and priests, would be killed all together.

In the plan, Douglas’s only concern was that he did not know how long he could keep the pope occupied. Ten seconds, twenty seconds, or a minute?

But fortunately, Douglas’s concern had now completely disappeared when the saints’ wasted their chance casting God’s Arrival.

The holy light burst out from Varantine’s body, and the light melted down the dark blue ice which kept him frozen. It was smart of him deciding not to approach the storm barrier. Instead, he chose to cast Light of Judgment towards Hathaway to try to distract her from the chanting.

“Aurora Wall!” said a cold, female voice.

A transparent wall instantly rose in front of Hathaway. The wall was covered in colorful aurora, beautiful like a dream.

The light hit on the aurora wall, and both of them disappeared at the same time.

Hellen, Witch of Iceland, was maintaining the space shackle and, meanwhile, also keeping Varantine fully occupied. That was how far an ordinary saint cardinal was away from a grand arcanist.

The five saints were trying their best, and they indeed had obtained the edge. Within seconds, a series of divine spells hit Fernando directly in sequence. Despite all the defense spells that Fernando cast on himself, the last division of him had been devoured by the holy light.

Was Fernando… dead?

The moment when the five saints started to feel the joy, they realized that the barrier was still there.

A puppet with a strange smile on its face suddenly appeared behind their back, and it then turned into Fernando!

At this time, the energy ball had gone into the barrier, and the devastating power had reached the limit of control!

Fernando’s body suddenly exploded and then integrated into the storm barrier. The black magnetic field kept compressing the space, encasing the five saints in all directions.

They were out of time!

Melmax had activated God’s Shield and held tight Holy Avenger. He believed that he could survive as long as the spell was not as powerful as God’s Arrival.

Then the rest of the four saints did the same thing. Although they were more or less panicking, they had all turned on all the protections they knew to face the horrible impact.

By now, Hathaway had finally finished her long, long spell. She sighed the words like it was a piece of tune,

“Eternal Blaze!”

Instantly, Fernando saw the faces of the five saints lighting up under the power of the energy ball. The five faces were as pale as the finest paper sheet. Somehow, he recalled Lucien’s joke,

“Cry, and yell, and then, go to hell!”

The energy ball then exploded, bursting out the brightest light ever that was much more dazzling than anything else in the world.

……

Inside the Parliament of Nobles in the Nekso Palace.

The nobles, both the Liberal and the Conservative, had all quieted down, waiting for Her Majesty to continue.

Natasha took a deep breath and resumed her determination as a knight. She then pulled out her Sword of Truth and raised it high,

“Here I swear by my soul and my destiny to the Lord of Hell,”

“I’ll return my power to those who follow me. The only things I will keep to myself are the direct royal manors and the power over arranging personnel.”

The nobles were totally shocked.

“I’ll return my legislation and law enforcement power to the Parliament of Nobles, and only retain the power to veto. I’ll never take it back, nor will my offspring!”

“I’ll give the nobles my executive power. The Parliament of Nobles will be able to choose a prime minister every ten years, and the prime minister will form a cabinet to exert the power. I will only, again, retain the power to veto!”

“I’ll give the cabinet the leadership of Verdict Knights and Sword of Truth’s Knights, and only keep the lord titles!”

“The taxation revenue that you gain and the administrative institutes will remain the same, but you’ll be able to decide how to spend the tax revenue!”

“Any one of you who leads the knights as frontiers to extend the kingdom’s territory will be given one third of the new territory as your own manor, and then, one third for the knights, and one third goes to the kingdom!”

…

“All my words and promises will be written in the Code. I, along with the future kings, and queens will abide by the law just as all you nobles! The Congress of Magic will be the supervisor!”

Natasha’s determined words were like strokes to the nobles.

In the past, because of the power of the Church and the Congress of Magic, the nobles had no choice but to unite around the majesty to survive. However, the kingship or queenship had been growing so fast and powerful that the nobles could barely see their own positions. In that circumstance, the nobles could only make constant compromises to keep the balance and to wait for the future change. They never dared to say no.

However, Her Majesty today took the initiative to compromise by greatly reducing the queenship, to the extent that they could never have expected!

Duke James, Duke Solefen, and many of the rest nobles became very excited. The muscles in their faces slightly twitched. The offer was too good for them to reject!

In the noise of electric currents, Natasha’s passionate speech got widespread to Colette, Brianne, Calais, and the Northland,

“Here I swear by my soul and my destiny to the Lord of Hell,”

“I’ll return my power to those who follow me. The only things I will keep to myself are the direct royal manors and the power over arranging personnel.”

…

Yourcenar, Song of Dusk, sprang up from his seat out of great excitement, which was shared by all the nobles around him. What a bright future it would be!

The Grand Duke of the Duchy of Calais put on a bitter smile seeing how thrilled the nobles were.

Hammer of the Void, Knight of Disasters, Life Reaper, and Burning Lady also had similar responses as Yourcenar.

……

While Duke Solefen, Duke James and most of the nobles had all stood up to support Natasha, there were still a few extreme conservatives being quite hesitant, as Duke Rex had not showed his attitude.

“His Holiness?!” Rex suddenly saw the figure high above in the sky through the window.

However, before he could say one more word, the horribly loud explosion overwhelmed his voice, like countless bolts of lightning striking the earth.

A new sun had risen. It was so hot and bright that anyone who saw it would feel intimidated. The sun represented a brand new life, and its power was driving away the holy light!

Boom!

That explosion just completely wakened the nobles in their mind!

“This is Eternal Blaze, from the Congress of Magic!” Natasha stared at the nobles and then burst out the cry,

“In front of us is the new era. Everything old will be abandoned!”

“My decision. Who agrees? Who opposes?”

The imperatorial aura of the queen made the nobles have to kneel, and also because of the great lures she offered. Seeing that Paradise on Earth was rapidly collapsing and the huge mushroom cloud, the leading dukes started kneeling down one by one, and finally, only Duke Rex remained in his seat.

In the end, Rex released a sigh as he took a glance at the sword in Natasha’s hand. He kneeled down and said together with the rest of the nobles,

“We pledge our lifelong allegiance to Your Majesty!”

……

With the structure drawing, Lucien easily broke the core defense of the divine circle. As soon as he stepped in, he heard the loud, horn-like explosion. Knowing that the plan just worked out, he had now felt much relieved. He pushed the divine power barrier to its limit to make sure that those ordinary people in Rentato would not suffer from the fight. And he started humming a merry little tune,

“The east gets red, and the sun rises…”
