295 Massacring the True Empire

In the mountains, there was a handsome man with long hair in the midst of a pile of corpses that had been killed by himself.

Near that pile of corpses, there were some other corpses, but those were killed by the expressionless subordinates of the handsome man. The man looked like a human, but those expressionless subordinates had beast parts, half-beasts, which made the scene difficult to believe for those who didn’t know the identity of the handsome man.

“Prince, all the traitors that the scroll shows in this area are already dead.”

A humanoid lizard neared the handsome man with a scroll on his hand; that was the same type of scroll Liye had given to Revgen and his army.

“Very well. Shirk, tell me where the next area is, I won’t let anyone of those bastards alive. They schemed to conquer our kingdom and provoked a lot of problems for our people.”

The handsome man looked towards his expressionless guards that had turned into puppet-like beings due to the treason of the first prince back then.

That handsome man was Sebe, the crown prince of the Anpaes Kingdom. After obtaining the legacy of Anpaes, his power skyrocketed, and his training speed turned completely abnormal.

The legacy left for Anpaes was meant for his descendants, so it was much better than normal legacies that were left for anyone who had fate with them. Anpaes gave his all in that legacy provoking that Sebe changed from a genius in training to a real monster that defied any common sense.

At that moment, Sebe was already a 9-star Grandmaster, and his power was considered top-notch in the whole Anpaes Kingdom.

Some time ago, a Mysterious Expert appeared in front of Sebe and his father to tell them the truth about the treason of the first prince and the plans of the True Empire.

Hearing the truth had enraged Sebe and his father to the point that they wanted to go into a killing spree at the moment, but they also heard that there was a plan to eradicate them from the continent, so they decided to wait.

Moreover, Paku, Sebe’s father, trusted the Mysterious Expert’s words and didn’t have even the slightest doubt about those words because that Mysterious Expert was the same who had acted as the backing of Yale back then. Giving Yale’s true identity, that meant that the words of the Mysterious Expert were trustful despite the fact that Paku had never seen the true face or heard the true voice of that person.

Recently, that Mysterious Expert had given them one of the scrolls created by Liye, and they started the hunt of True Empire members.

There wasn’t a lot of them on the Anpaes Kingdom, so it was difficult for Sebe to vent all his anger, but he took the lead of the extermination group and was the one killing the quickest.

It couldn’t even be considered a battle since the ones in the Anpaes Kingdom were just weaklings compared to Sebe; it was just a one-sided massacre.

Although Shirk was in the group, he was without any doubt the weakest of all, but he was there to check the scroll and support Sebe instead of battling, so it wasn’t too much problem.

However, he was only weak compared with Sebe and the expressionless guards because since his species had changed thanks to Yale’s research, his training speed had increased a lot. Moreover, after Sebe had become the crown prince, he had taken good care of Shirk and turned him in his main guard and giving him all kind of resources for training.

Thus, he had already reached the 1-star Expert Rank, and although that was quite weak compared to others, for Shirk, who had felt almost impossible increasing his power previously, that was like a miracle.

Sebe continued his journey of killing any member of the True Empire that was left on his Kingdom while those who died at his hands suffered a fate even worse after their souls left their bodies.

With the legacy of Anpaes, Sebe had obtained a divine beast bloodline, and the divine beast from where that bloodline originated was the Soul Eater Sun Lion, which as the name indicated could eat souls.

Although Sebe never liked that capability of the bloodline as seemed too evil, against those traitors he decided that he would eat their souls even if he needed to have indigestion afterward for eating something in a bad state.

Needless to say, the pain felt when someone was eating your soul was something incredibly painful.

“I would have never imagined that eating souls of those bastards would increase my power instead of giving me a stomachache.”

In fact, Sebe was only at the peak of the 8-star Grandmaster when he started hunting, but he made a breakthrough after starting eating souls of the members of the True Empire.

Sebe had morals, so he didn’t want to rely on eating souls to increase his power, but those traitors deserved the pain of having their souls devoured by him.

Eating souls weren’t that strange for divine beasts, and all the divine beasts with affinity to the Death law were able to do it, including the Time Freezing Wolves. However, the peculiarity of the Soul Eater Sun Lion was that could increase his own power by eating souls while for other divine beasts with that capacity, eating souls was like eating a normal meal and didn’t have any special benefit. Moreover, it filled their stomach far less than normal meat.

Thus, it was strange for other divine beasts to eat the souls of their preys, and very few people knew about their capability. However, the Soul Eater Sun Lions loved to eat the souls of their preys, sometimes they didn’t even touch the body and just ate souls. For anyone who had heard about that divine beast, it was a true source of fear. Even Law Masters were fearful of that kind of beast because if their sous were eaten, they would be truly ended.

Sebe wasn’t as fearful as a true Soul Eater Sun Lion because his level was still too low, and he wasn’t someone who delighted with evil acts like eating souls. However, once he had been angered by the True Empire to the point that he only wanted to kill, his opponents wouldn’t suffer less than if a true Soul Eater Sun Lion was eating their souls.

While Sebe was massacring the members of the True Empire, the Zuatania Republic didn’t fall behind.

Tar had received the news from the Mysterious Expert, who also had recently given one of the scrolls to Tar.

Although Tar wasn’t the official governor of the Zuatania Republic and no one would dare to go against his orders, Tar decided to offer a reward for those who killed more members of the True Empire instead of ordering the people to kill them.

After all, the number of members of the True Empire in the Zuatania Republic was the least since the plan was that the conquered Anpaes Kingdom would attack the Zuatania Republic.

Of course, he only told about this topic to people he trusted, but at the end, there wasn’t a chance for any of them to act because while they were making some preparations, the Thousand Frost Wolves Company had already formed an enormous mercenary group to hunt all the members of the True Empire.

The other parties wanted to kill them mainly for the rewards, but the Thousand Frost Wolves Company didn’t mind about that since the money that had spent even in that mercenary group surpassed the total reward. That kind of reward was absolutely abnormal for the job of killing some people, so in a short span of time, the hugest mercenary group of the Zuatania Republic was formed

Julie had also received a visit of the Mysterious Expert and obtained a scroll, and since those members of the True Empire were enemies of Yale, Julie spared no effort in sending people to kill all of them. The Thousand Frost Wolves Company had obtained a lot of wealth, and they were very famous in the whole Zuatania Republic, so no one doubted that the company could pay the reward they offered to those mercenaries.

The mercenaries didn’t know the reasons for killing the people they were ordered to kill, but they would receive more money for that mission than the money they usually obtained from working in more than a thousand missions of equal difficulty, so they were eager to kill their targets.

Moreover, since all those mercenaries were experienced ones, as long as the money was enough, they were sure to kill any target no matter the means they needed to use.

Thus, no battle happened in the Zuatania Republic because those mercenaries relied on setting poison traps to kill all their targets without effort.

The Anpaes Kingdom and the Zuatania Republic started almost half an hour before the Revgen Empire and given their speed and the fact that they used portals to teleport to the places where their targets were situated, they had almost ended by the time the Revgen Empire started.

Unknowingly of the situation on the other two countries, Liye teleported to the Hyeran Clan headquarters after his shout. The Hyeran Clan headquarters were also the True Empire headquarters, and their hidden experts were all living there.

Liye waved his hand, and a two-layered barrier covered the Hyeran Clan headquarters, no one would be able to enter or exit.
