Chapter 23 - The regret of one's decisions.

Lilias in her demonic form. Extended her left hand with the bow in front of the closed wooden gates of the king's bed-chamber. She placed her right hand on the steel-string of the green bow. Her eyes flickered then completely focused on a wall just beside the wooden door.

Her breath turned stagnant and her body became absolutely still, even her hairs stopped moving. She staunched the string with her right hand and extended to the maximum. An arrow suddenly manifested between both of her hands.

Suddenly she let go of the arrow and with a sting, a vacuum appeared around the arrow and then the arrow vanished leaving a gust of wind behind. Soon enough a shriek sounded from inside the bed chamber and then some astonished voice resounded accompanied with deathly silence afterwards.

Lilias Quickly turned her aim from the wall to the wooden gate and stretched the string again. An arrow soon manifested and she let go of it again. The wooden gate suddenly opened with a sung and the Spirit manipulation warrior that opened the gate died without even knowing what happened to him.

One can see a slim arrow between his forehead. Rowen let out a cold smile seeing her power. Two powerhouses dead without even knowing who killed them. He grinned and then looked at his devilish love. One day he will also be able to fight like her, or maybe he will become even stronger. However, currently due to his low cultivation level, he has to rely on his women.

The remaining four guards and Theobald came out rushing of the bed-chamber. Their faces were pale due to fear and their breathing were shallow. After seeing the devil-like lady in front of them, they inhaled a cold breath in fear. The four spirit manipulation guards shivered, their legs turned limp in the presence of such strong devilish aura.

The only person that maintained his composure was Theobald, he had a goldfish shaped emblem tightly clenched in his hand. As he was a late Spirit synchronization realm expert. He managed to somehow stand against her aura.

His gaze then fell upon his two dead guards, and beads of sweat started forming on his forehead. One of the guards was of Spirit Synchronization realm and the other one was of Spirit manipulation realm.

'Dead... Both of them Dead. Just like that, without even knowing the reason, in just blink of an eye. I don't think even my old man can achieve this feat.'

He thought and then his gaze fell upon the red demonic figure of his first wife. The third eye on her glabella exerted a deadly pressure that prevented him from staring at her for too long. He quickly averted his gaze down and then strongly clenched his hand on the goldfish emblem.

He then looked at the smiling inconspicuous figure on the side of the Queen. It was his son, his own blood was now standing against him, laughing at his powerless condition.

The four-guards at spirit manipulation realm could no longer take the pressure and then slumped on the ground on their knees. Even blood started flowing out of one guard's mouth. But none of them dared to run, means all of them were loyal.

Rowen smiled at the current site and then moved a step ahead and stood in front of the guard that coughed blood. He looked at the guard below covering under pressure. He smiled and then said.

'Do you want power?'

The guard below grinned and then spat a mouth full of blood at him and said.

"F.u.c.k off!"

'They truly are loyal."

Rowen thought and then his gaze turned to all four of them and seeing a resolute expression on their faces he sighed and the kicked the guard on the head with full force making him bleed even more.

Lilias seeing his soon so near the four guards suddenly panicked and wanted to say something, however after seeing his expression, she stopped herself and applied more pressure on the guards so they can't suddenly attack her son. She also threw a small withered grass-like herb towards the bamboozled king.

The withered herb on contact with the King's body suddenly enlarged and coiled around his body, small needle-like thorns on the grass pierced his whole body, making him let out a scream. Lilias suddenly formed a spiritual barrier around, so no one can hear or see anything going on here.

Blood covered the whole body of Theobald he twitched and then bit his lips. Soon a golden shimmer appears on his body, then the grass suddenly withered and he got free from it. But before he could do anything an arrow pierced his dantian, leaking all his power.

He let out a howl of dread and then looked at his wife with red eyes. She didn't kill him but crippled him. Meaning she wanted something from him. He quickly crushed both his space ring and the goldfish emblem with his remaining power. He will never submit to this evil women nor will he let her use him.

He grinned and then spat at her in disdain. He was once in love with her and now here he was standing against her. But no matter what, he will never bow down in front of her even if she kills him. And his useless son, that piece of trash. He always had to act like a good father in front of him due to his wife.

He cast an angry gaze at him and then lost consciousness on the spot. Slumbering on the grey tiled floor powerlessly, with an arrow in his dantian. He regretted his decision of marrying this bitch and he, even more, regretted impregnating her with a useless son. This son of his is the only reason for his demise.

If not for him, Lilias would never have gone against him and he would have even gotten a Deity realm powerhouse on his side. But all of these are now just regrets.

Rowen on the side felt the power rushing through his body from both his father and the guards on the floor. He smiled and then looked at his mom. There was a complex expression on her face, she has just crippled someone she was married to, it was her husband.
