Chapter 28: The Curtain Falls

Ang Li.

He was publicly acknowledged as the number one genius in the northern part of the Borodin Kingdom. He was a well-known figure among those in the same tier.

Back when he was training outside, he had once defeated two veteran tier 3 experts by himself.

This scene was witnessed by the passing Manticore. He found that this young man had both the battle experience and the will to cultivate, he was worth nurturing.

This made Manticore want to take him in as a disciple.

Thus, he brought Ang Li back to the Imperial Academy of Magic. The result was very satisfactory.

In the entrance exam, Ang Li defeated the teacher who was the examiner.. When faced with the same genius students in the school, he did not fall into a disadvantage.

After taking in Ang Li as his closed-door student, he gave Ang Li a large amount of resources.

And Ang Li had also done well, breaking through to the peak of Tier 3 in a short period of time.

Manticore believed that as long as Ang Li broke through to Tier 4, he would be able to stand out even in front of the senior students.

In the future, he would have the potential to become extraordinary.

When Ang Li faced Laylen, Manticore had already locked its will on Nellie, not allowing him to forcefully intervene, giving Ang Li a chance to smoothly kill Laylen.

But now, only a breath’s time had passed, what did he see?

Ang Li’s head was blown off by Laylen’s single punch in the air, and he didn’t even have a chance to react.

There was only a headless corpse left on the scene.

Manticore was stunned on the spot, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

“No!!!” Following that, Creed let out a cry of sorrow.

He could not believe that his son, his pride, had been killed on the spot, not having the chance to even retaliate.

Moreover, the person who killed his son was trash who could not awaken his magic talent for a long time.

In the mayor’s mansion, the imperial guards who were watching the battle were all in shock.

Their young mayor was actually able to instantly kill the number one genius, and in such a crushing manner.

They were a little dazed, and an illusion formed in their hearts. In fact, the young mayor was a Tier 4 expert.

But thinking about it, it seemed even more ridiculous. One had to know that the young mayor had awakened his magic talent when he was twelve years old.

This scene was extremely visually shocking.

Liszt, Evelyn, and Nelly all realized that it was only now did they understand how powerful Laylen was.

Although they had heard from Laylen that he had long been able to kill a Tier 4 expert, they didn’t believe him, but after seeing him fight here, they had all now truly believed.

Now, seeing Laylen kill the peak tier 3 Ang Li in one move with his own eyes, they were all still shocked silly.

That move from Laylen, Nelly had tried to swap positions with him, but he realized that even he could not block it.

Laylen… was too strong.

“Sorry, he asked me to attack with all my strength. I didn’t expect him to be so weak.”

While everyone was still in shock, Laylen’s innocent words woke them up.

“Damn beast! I’m going to kill you!”

Creed’s eyes were bloodshot, and he had completely lost his mind.

Ang Li had been his hope!

He charged at Laylen without caring about anything else. The long sword in his hand was filled with a huge amount of magic power. He wanted to take advantage of the moment when everyone was still unable to react and kill him.

Laylen only raised his eyes and glanced at him. He did not make a move.

“Hmph!”

Beside him, Nelly snorted coldly. Creed, who was originally charging at Laylen, suddenly flew in the opposite direction. He crashed into a rockery more than ten meters away.

The rockery exploded, and Creed was also heavily injured.

“Professor Manticore! Professor Manticore! I beg you to avenge my son!” Creed did not die, but he was heavily injured. With a mouth full of blood, he looked at Manticore with pleading eyes.

However, Manticore did not pay attention to him.

Manticore’s eyes were full of uncertainty. Even now, he still could not believe that Ang Li was killed by Laylen just like that.

One had to know that Ang Li’s magic talent was among the top in the Imperial Academy of Magic.

However, no matter what, this had already become a reality. He had lost all of his old face.

“Nelly, the majesty of His Majesty can not be insulted. Just wait for His Majesty’s endless fury!” Lion Scorpion said coldly to Laylen and Nelly. Then, the flying shuttle lifted his body into the air, soon, he disappeared into the vast sky.

Manticore was Creed’s only hope for revenge. However, seeing that lion scorpion did not even pay attention to him, it turned around and left. At this moment, he felt that the world was dark.

“Hahahahaha!!”

He laughed crazily.

First, he lost his son, and then he was abandoned by the Manticore. Nelly would not let him go at all.

Originally, he thought that he could sit on the mayor’s seat and become the new mayor. However, the gap between ideal and reality was usually huge.

The higher one stood, the harder one fell.

“Neelived, I’ll go first!”After laughing for a full minute, Creed looked at Laylen and the others and cursed fiercely, “I’ll wait for you in hell! Soon, you’ll come down to accompany me!”

“Hahahahaha!!”

After saying that, Creed circulated the magic power in his body. It burned all the magic veins in his body.

He grunted and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

Before long, his pupils dilated and he fell to the side.

This former Grand Knight knew that he would definitely die. He might as well choose to commit suicide so that he could die with dignity.

With the death of the Manticore, Creed committed suicide. The rebellion in the world of Vader City had temporarily come to an end.

However, the worry in the eyes of Nelly, Liszt, and the others became even more intense, because there were still more serious things to come.

Laylen had done something extremely daring. He had said that the king’s Wang Ling would be more useful as a rag and had even cut off a trace of the king’s spiritual will.

If news of this spread, who knew how big a wave it would cause.

Outside the mayor’s Manor, there was already a complete uproar.

They had personally witnessed Laylen beheading the emperor’s spirit and will. This was completely disrespectful to the king, and he was about to be exterminated.

Very quickly, what happened in Vader city caused a huge commotion.

It quickly spread throughout the entire Borodin Kingdom, and even the neighboring countries.

At this moment, the people within the jurisdiction of Vader City were all in danger, afraid that Vader city would be wiped out by the king with a single move.

They would also die together with him.

All the forces in Vader City were cursing Laylen and his son.

It was because of their actions that they would bring disaster upon themselves.

At the same time, Laylen’s wealth was spread to the outside world. Laylen had dozens of berserk thunder cage arrays that even transcendents could not get.

This was a treasure that could not be described with words.

It was enough to attract the prying eyes of those who cared.

In addition, he had provoked the king, and Vader city was really not far from destruction.

In the mayor’s mansion, Nelly was constantly berating Li Lin. “Look at what you’ve done? You want to use His Majesty’s will as a rag? You’re even more f*cking ballsy than I am. You’re really audacious.”

“His Majesty’s transcendence is so powerful that you can’t imagine it!”

In the end, Nelly didn’t scold Laylen too much as well. After all, he had already done it, and there was no way to salvage the situation.

“Come with me now and leave the Borodin Kingdom,” Nelly said very calmly.

They had to take advantage of the fact that His Majesty’s Army had yet to arrive at the city gates to quickly take Laylen away from this troublesome place.

“Sigh…”the two old men, Liszt and Evelyn, looked at each other and sighed as they said, “Let’s go and conceal our identities as well.”

There was basically no turning point in this matter. If they insulted the king, no one would be able to save them. If they knew how to hide, they would live as long as they could.

The mayor’s guards were all fearing for themselves.

The calmest person was Laylen. There was no fear on his face as he said, “Old man, he’s just an extraordinary Tier 5 expert. Is there a need to be so afraid?”
