Chapter 190 - 35

King Redis and his family trembled after seeing Fornius' appearance. They had not expected him to return quickly and chase them to the island.

"You! Did you know that you are currently in the territory of the Cirlus Kingdom! And you dared to attack this camp with a horde of magical beasts!" King Redis didn't know what else to say. Still, he remembered that he was currently under the protection of the Cirlus Kingdom. So he intended to use this to scare Fornius and make him retreat for a while.

King Raghnall could only grit his teeth because King Redis' words seemed to be provoking the Cirlus Kingdom and Fornius. But he didn't say anything now because he wanted to know Fornius's purpose. If he wanted to capture King Redis, King Raghnall would gladly hand him over even if he had to lose half of the Demon Kingdom's sea area.

Princess Cordelia could only hold back her anger when she heard the conversation between King Redis and Fornius. Now she completely believed what Ziel had told her before. They really shouldn't have brought King Redis with them, or maybe his father shouldn't have made a deal with him in the first place.

"Are you done talking? You or the King of the Cirlus Kingdom, all of you here must die!" Fornius didn't care what King Redis had to say. From the start, he intended to finish off everyone in the camp. It was because the Cirlus Kingdom openly protected King Redis. In addition, the soldiers of the kingdom also killed many of his research objects. He also wanted to lure the person who killed Leviathan to reveal himself.

"What do you mean? Do you intend to eliminate us in this place? Do you think you have the ability to do that?" King Raghnall narrowed his eyes after hearing Fornius' words. At first, he intended to give up King Redis, but he threw that thought away. He knew even if he gave King Redis to him, Fornius would still not let them go.

"I have that ability or not. We will prove it this time!" Fornius pointed his palm at King Raghnall. Golden lightning slowly gathered in his hand.

[Divine Lightning Beam]

The golden laser beam shot towards King Raghnall. This time his power was much greater than the one he used against King Redis. His attacks were enough to kill everyone around King Raghnall, including Merlick, King Redis, and his family.

"Father!" Princess Cordelia and Princess Rinne screamed and tried to save their father. But Fornius' attack speed was terrific. They didn't even have time to move from where they were standing.

Booooooooommmmmmmm!

The soldiers and academy students fell silent at sight. They didn't even care about the horde of monsters in front of them. The sudden appearance and attack of Fornius made them both shocked and realize that the root of all the problems that occurred in the Cirlus Kingdom was the golden-haired man.

"Father!" Princess Cordelia and Princess Rinne quickly came to their senses and ran over to King Raghnall.

"You don't have to worry. Do you think your father will die just from an attack like that?" King Raghnall's voice came through the smoke from Fornius' attack. Due to the heavy rain, the smoke quickly dissipated. King Raghnall appeared before their eyes wearing body armor that looked very modern and shiny. Not because the surface was polished, but because the armor itself gave off a bluish glow.

"That is… the Saint Armor that father is currently researching?" Princess Rinne muttered in a slightly loud voice. Her voice reached the ears of her sister, Princess Cordelia.

"Rinne, what is it? How come I never knew that father had such armor with him?" Princess Cordelia asked Princess Rinne. She didn't like creating magic tools as much as her father and sister. Usually, she would know if her father or sister had found or created a new magic tool or artifact. But the armor her father was wearing looked foreign to her.

"Father did the research secretly, and no one else knew. I even found out by accident. Father asked me to keep it a secret even from you, sister." Princess Rinne smiled apologetically to Princess Cordelia. She felt guilty for hiding it from her.

"You don't need to apologize. Then, what exactly is the armor?" Princess Cordelia doesn't mind all that stuff. She was currently curious about what her father had made. She urged Princess Rinne to explain.

"It's the armor that father made based on the divine dress he's seen. Don't you know that no one can make an artifact of the divine dress class at this time? Father insisted on creating it with all the knowledge he had. Even though it's different from the divine dress we know, it's the result of his hard work over the years. That Saint Armor was his name. The armor had the same function as the divine dress but did not have power. At least the Saint Armor is equivalent to a Saint Rank artifact." Princess Rinne told all the things she knew to Princess Cordelia. She thought it was okay to say that since Princess Cordelia already knew about it by now.

"Ooh, so. We must return safely from here. After that, I will ask father for a more detailed explanation." Princess Cordelia smiled a little at Princess Rinne. It did not make Princess Rinne calm but quite the opposite. Princess Rinne knows that Princess Cordelia is angry because they have been hiding it all this time. She took her eyes off Princess Cordelia and didn't dare look at her again. She looked at her father, wearing armor shrouded in bright blue light.

The armor worn by King Raghnall protects himself and others around him. As such, Merlick, King Redis, and his family were unharmed.

"Hoo… you have an interesting toy. Alright, I'll be kind enough to test your toy. how long the barrier can last." Fornius smirked and seemed interested in the armor that King Raghnall was showing. He pointed his palm again at King Raghnall and shot him with the same attack as before. The difference was that he was attacking her in succession this time.

[Divine Thunder Beam] x3

"Be careful, Father!" Princess Cordelia and Princess Rinne couldn't help but worry about her father's situation even though his father's armor was strong. They still didn't know how strong their current enemy was.

King Raghnall's face darkened because he had never worn the Saint Armor in actual combat. He didn't know how long the durability of the artifact he made could last against the onslaught of Fornius' attacks.

Booooommmm!

Booooommmm!

Booooommmm!

After his attack ended, Fornius was quite surprised because King Raghnall was fine with the armor and the people around him.

"Amazing. I didn't think humans in this era could make such strong armor. but, how long can you last?" Fornius smiled and intended to attack King Raghnall again with another skill.

"I didn't expect you to have such an artifact." King Redis was surprised by the durability shown by the Saint Armor that King Raghnall wore. Fornius' previous attack was much stronger than the attack they had received the first time they had fought him. But King Raghnall's artifact can hold it up without being scratched at all.

King Raghnall ignored what king Redis had said. Right now, his face was gloomy as he could feel that the armor he was wearing was shaking violently. He thought his armor would crumble if he received such an attack again.

"Raghnall, what's your plan? We can't go on like this. Otherwise, the Cirlus Kingdom soldiers and the people from the academy might die in his hands. I can feel that he is even stronger than any enemy I have encountered so far." Merlick's face is no better than King Raghnall either.

"I understand what you're thinking. I only have one plan in mind right now." King Raghnall answered in a deep voice.

"What's that?" Merlick asked with a tense face.

"You have to take the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom and the people from the academy away from here. I'll try to hold it in for as long as I can. Oh, I said it wrong. I will hold it together with King Redis." King Raghnall had thought of many ways to get out of their current situation, but that was the only way that had the highest success rate for them to survive Fornius' pursuit.

"What are you saying? If you want to die, you have to die alone. Why did you involve me?" King Redis was annoyed with King Raghnall's words carrying his name.

"All this trouble started with you, and you said that I involved you? It was you who involved us with your troubles!? Do you think you will survive after I die?" King Raghnall asked King Redis in a high tone. He was angry because King Redis wanted to run away from his responsibilities.

"You! Whatever! I will help you, but I will not die with you!" King Redis finally gave up because he couldn't argue with King Raghnall's words.

"That's enough. As long as you can keep them in this place for a long time and let them escape from this island, you don't have to die in this place." King Raghnall was satisfied with King Redis' answer. Then he looked at Merlick again.

"Merlick, I will leave my two daughters and the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom in your hands." King Raghnall prepares to attack fornius. He believed that he could hold him back for quite a while by using his Saint Armor.

"I entrust my son and daughter to you." Queen Triana said to Merlick. From the start, she had intended to fight together with King Redis if he agreed to King Raghnall's request.

"I understand." Merlick answered curtly. Although he was a little annoyed with King Redis, his two children had nothing to do with his father's words or actions.

(My wife, in the next battle, we will look for opportunities to sneak and escape secretly. We don't need to fight to the death. Leave it all to King Raghnall)

King Redis smirked and sent a message via telepathy to Queen Triana.

(I get it, my husband!)

Queen Triana quickly understood the meaning of King Redis's words.

"Looks like you guys are done with your small talk. So, hurry up and die because I have other business to attend to!" Fornius wasn't worried that King Raghnall and the others ran away because they still didn't know they couldn't get out of that rainy area. Therefore he gave them less time to plan and made them even more desperate when they realized that their plans were futile from the start.

"Now, Merlick!" King Raghnall stepped forward to attack Fornius and signal Merlick.

[Giant Tsunami]

A great flood wave rushed toward Fornius. King Raghnall wanted to press Fornius into place to prevent Merlick, his soldiers, and the people from the academy from escaping.

[Evil God Slash]

[Space Explosion]

King Redis and Queen Triana also attack simultaneously. They attacked using their best skills but not at their full strength as they wanted to save as much of their strength as possible to escape from that place.

Booooooooommmmmmmm!

Fornius was hit by a combined attack from the three of them. But strangely, he didn't dodge or defend when he was about to be hit by their attacks.

"All soldiers follow my orders! Get out of here right now! This is an order from your king!" Merlick shouted, giving orders to the soldiers in the pouring rain.

"Mr. Merlick! What does this mean? Why do we have to run away from this place? Then what about my father!?" Princess Cordelia questioned Merlick's orders. She felt that what he said earlier meant they had to leave King Raghnall with Fornius.

"I mean, as I said. Please don't make things difficult for me, Cordelia. This is an order from your father. I hope you can understand and think more calmly for the safety of the soldiers." Merlick said with a serious face to Princess Cordelia. It made Princess Cordelia freeze, and she didn't know what to say.

"You are doing pointless things." Fornius' voice rang in Merlick's and Princess Cordelia's ears. Fornius wasn't even scratched by the combined attacks of the three of them. Then he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

[Thunder Soldiers]

Golden lightning flashed from the thundercloud and transformed into a human figure.. Hundreds of thunder soldiers were created and blocked their escape attempts.
