Chapter 714 - Final Battle - Part 4

Yes, Robert betrayed this woman because Rosalie rejected his confession by saying she had someone she loved. Jealousy and ambition took over him, and he plotted the rebellion. The rebellion was just a trick to force Rosalie to accept him, but until the last moment, Rosalie still rejected him.

Even when she was poisoned with Mana Corroder, the poison that ate her mana, causing her not to be able to execute any skill, she still rejected her. He threatened her that he would sell her to whore house for the nobles after having fun with her. Even after all of that, the woman chose to kill herself instead of accepting him. The person who had been loyal to her, helping her to establish the strongest kingdom in the Ortis Continent.

This was the main reason why the Lionax Kingdom kept hunting down The Fotia Legion. The strongest knight legion and also the one that Rosalie treasured the most. Rosalie never told him who the man she loved was. He thought Alton was the man she loved; hence he used everything in his hand to destroy Alton.

Disbanding the legion, purposely leaking out the information that he killed Rosalie in order to incite an attack from the Fotia Legion's members, so he had a legitimate reason to hunt down the Fotia Legion and use his power to force Alton's best friend to surrender.

Robert could no longer feel the pain as he recalled everything in the past, and tears flowed down from his eyes at his last moment. He did not know why he could see her in the last moment of his life, but his desperate gaze turned into a gentle and loving gaze. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something. "I l-lo-lo-ve y-you…."

[You have absorbed a Legend Rank individual! You gained 177898 Attribute Points!]

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained 3538 Attribute Points!}

***

The notifications of leveling kept ringing in his head, but Tang Shaoyang ignored all the notifications and looked back at Rosalie with his eyes widened open. He was sure that he did not hear things, and Robert Kingsley said "I love you" at the last moment of his life. He could not understand what actually happened as this was totally different from what Rosalie shared.

Robert betrayed her in order to take over the kingdom, and he planned to make her an exclusive prostitute for the high-ranking nobles. That was the whole story from Rosalie, and she never mentioned the fact that Robert loved her. "Are you lying to me?"

"I am not. I just never mentioned the part where Robert confessed to me, and I rejected him. I don't think that counted as lying, right?" Rosalie smiled as she glanced at Robert Kingsley. There was no pity or even sympathy in her eyes, she looked relieved that she had achieved her vengeance, but revenge did not give the satisfaction she expected. "Maybe because I am not the one who killed him?" She muttered in a low voice.

"That's true. You did not lie to me, and it does not matter anyway." Tang Shaoyang released the old man from his grip and checked the transparent screen in front of his eyes. He checked how many levels he got from killing a Legend Rank. "I am sorry about killing Robert. I kinda forgot about your thing with this Lionax Kingdom."

[You have reached level 2489!]

Three hundred thirty-two levels, his level increased that many by killing a single Legend Rank, and he had another Legend Rank waiting for him to kill. Despite the gain from killing a Legend Rank and bonus Attribute Points from [Slayer Absorption], he was not happy because he did not see a sign of advancement to Ancient Rank. "Maybe it's level 2500?" He muttered unhappily. The other advanced their rank when they reached level 1500, but he almost doubled up, yet he was still in Epic Rank.

"I do need a guide to know more about the system." Tang Shaoyang stored the Legend Rank's precious body for the summoning later. As he stored the body in the inventory, he remembered something else. "I just killed a Legend Rank with my hand, and I should get a high-grade Soul, right?" He opened his soul counter, and sure enough, he had a Grade SS Soul. "This is hard. How am I supposed to get five Grade SS Souls? Maybe summoning a Skeleton with a high-grade soul just needs one soul."

Tang Shaoyang gave it a try and activated [Necromastery], but he was bound to be disappointed with it.

[You don't have enough soul to call the dead!]

"Why don't you try to mix up the soul? Like four Grade B Souls and one Grade SS Soul for an experiment?" Rosalie had been hearing this man's monologue for a while and suggested an idea.

"That's a brilliant idea, but I don't want to experiment with Grade SS Soul. Maybe I will try to mix Grade A soul and Grade B soul instead. Both souls are surely easier to get than Grade S and Grade SS Soul. If the difference of mixing souls is significant, then we can try to mix them later." Tang Shaoyang nodded his head.

He looked around before looking toward Rosalie. "Do you want to return to The Spiritual Space, or do you want to join a fight as well? I guess you can fight to vent out your frustration or something." He had to return because he had another Legend to harvest. At this point, The Legend Rank was no longer a threat to him.

—I think you should be careful when you return to Earth, Master. You can use the Legend Rank in the Ortis Continent as a standard of the Legend Rank. Alton and Albert might not have Talent since they could not access the smart base as you did. They don't go through the Survival Game as well, and they miss so many things from the early event.

As usual, Zaneos was concerned his Master would underestimate the enemy after he defeated the Legend Rank.

"I will stay here and have some fun, I guess. However, I do need a mask to cover my face. I don't want anyone to recognize me." Rosalie was doing some light stretching. It seemed the woman was excited about the fight.

Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes. "Do you think I have something like that? Only the old will recognize you, such as your former subordinates. The other must have forgotten what you look like."

Tang Shaoyang and Rosalie flew back to Ailo City, and by the time they arrived at Ailo City, he saw the second Legend Rank was lying down on the ground, losing his right arm and legs. The big horns on his head were pulled out as blood profusely flowed from the hole in his head.

Two black swords pierced his shoulder, pinning down the Legend Rank Warrior, who was still in his bloodline transformation. Zara, the Angel of Death, stood next to the dying man with seven black swords rotated around her. Her black wings folded on her back, and she sat in the air with a boring look.

Yeah, Zara defeated the second Legend Rank while he was chasing Robert Kingsley. At the sight of Tang Shaoyang, the Angel of Death flew over toward him. "That's not my fault, it's yours. What took you so long?" She struck first before getting blamed.

Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes. "Then why are you leaving me this dying man for? You can just kill him."

The seven black swords shot toward Sir Powan's head and ended the man's suffering.. As expected of Angel of Death, she was something else to kill a dying man by inserting seven swords into the man's head.
