Chapter 938

Chapter 938

Nerva did not care whether Minhyuk came to choose the talents he wanted to recruit or not. Knight Commander Don had tried to assassinate him, turning the entire Luvien Empire upside down.

Besides, although Minhyuk and the Beyond the Heavens Empire could choose three talents from his empire, there were conditions that he had to follow. First, Nerva had to approve his chosen talent. Second, Minhyuk could not choose among the knights of the Swords of the Gods or anyone who had a title and a position.

After considering these two conditions, Nerva judged that the Beyond the Heavens emperor would not have an infinitely smaller pool of talents to choose from and would not be able to hire anyone useful to them.

Left in a chaotic state, Nerva did not even care about Minhyuk and threw him to his aide. But Minhyuk appeared before him now and said, Don.

...Bastaaaaaaaard!!! Nerva roared in anger, his voice rising along with his killing intent and covering the entire area.

Nervas knights and dukes, including Duke Vlad, were gathered in this place. It was also the capital of the Luvien Empire, a nation at war with the Beyond the Heavens Empire. The moment Minhyuk entered the hall, these notifications rang in his ears.

[You have entered the Luvien Empires Imperial Palace!]

[You cannot use a Return Parchment inside the Luvien Empires Imperial Palace!]

[You cannot leave the Luvien Empires Imperial Palace until Nerva gives explicit permission!]

That was right. Minhyuk could only leave this place if he was given Nervas explicit permission. Otherwise, he could die, and he would be able to leave. In other words, he could enter as he pleased, but he would not be able to leave as he pleased.

And now, Minhyuk had entered the center of a nation at war with him. Not only that, but he was also committing an outrageous act by taking a traitor under his wing.

Shiiiiiiiiing

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiing

Shiiiiiiing

The dozens of Swords of the Gods raised their swords. And Duke Vlad? He watched the situation with his arms crossed.

Was it true? Did the Beyond the Heavens Emperor truly use Don to kill His Majesty?

Will a war truly begin?

In the past, the members of the Swords of the GodsBeloch, Revor, Grat, and the resthad become favorable to Minhyuk when they went to conquer Mandalas Prison. Minhyuk had saved the dying Knight Commander Don and commanded and led them well until they came out of the dungeon.

But when Don suddenly moved to assassinate Nerva, each and every one of them threw a hypothesis and reported it to Nerva. Among those reports, there was naturally one that stated, Minhyuk saved Dons life. When Nerva saw this report, he added more flesh and used it as the reason to accuse Don of treason. Even though it was a lie, it had now become the truth in the eyes of Duke Vlad and the Swords of the Gods.

I did not expect that he was like that.

This was a grave matter. Although the Luvien Empire and the Beyond the Heavens Empire were at war, things had not yet blown up. The two nations would now engage in an all-out war with this new development. Immediately after this, the troops of the Luvien Empire would be gathered, and all their allies would be ordered to invade their enemy's lands. Now that they had a justification, the Luvien Empire could take down the Beyond the Heavens Empire in just one day.

Minhyuk said, The emperor that you believe in has risen to his throne by poisoning the members of Brods knight order!

Bullshit!

His Majesty Nerva had rightfully inherited his throne!

Of course, none of the people present believed Minhyuks words. But Brod, holding on to Nervas wrist, said, How far are you going to fall?

There was a time when the Nerva, who Brod knew was a good and upright man. He was once a young man who declared that he would build a peaceful, relaxed empire without war. But now? This young man had turned into a monster.

Youre the one who fell, Nerva growled at Brod. How dare you?! Do you know whose wrists you are holding onto, huh?!

Nervas killing intent surged once more. Brod, extremely sensitive to killing intent, hurriedly raised his sword. Watching the scene, the Swords of the Gods thought that perhaps the Beyond the Heavens Empire was genuinely crazy. Did they think that they could survive like this?

But Brod stepped back and cut off the ropes that bound Don. This was the first shot. The Swords of the Gods, who had power close to that of a god, charged toward Brod. Those who were aware of the situation hurriedly closed the hall doors.

Don! Minhyuk shouted, throwing a sword toward the man.

Swoooooosh

Thump

Don swiftly grabbed the sword and parried the attack of the Swords of the Gods that charged at them.

Baaaaaaaaaang!

But at that moment, a spear pierced through the tightly closed doors and struck Nervas sword.

Clack

The doors were forced open, and two men strode in. One of the men was Valentino, who had now become the Beyond the Heavens Empires dog. The other one was Rlszd, who had been imprisoned inside the Prison of Indolence for a long time and sacrificed his vitality to survive longer.

Rlszd was supposed to lead the Swords of the Gods; he was their knight commander before Don came. He was even called Divine Spear Rlszd and was the only one who could wield the Guardians Spear, the same spear that he threw earlier.

However, for some reason, he was suddenly accused of treason and thrown into prison.

Rumble!

The ground shook as nine spears appeared around Rlszd.

[Rlszd. Level 767.]

He was not with Minhyuk after leaving the Prison of Indolence because he went somewhere to retrieve the Guardians Spear.

Sir Rlszd?

Rlszd, why are you here?

As mentioned, Rlszd was known as a traitor by the public and was sent to prison. That is why everyone was shocked to see him here. However, Nerva was the one who was most shocked.

How can someone stuck inside the Prison of Indolence be this strong?

Nerva was utterly unaware that Rlszd had sacrificed his vitality to endure and hold out inside the Prison of Indolence.

Then, Rlszd opened his mouth and said, Your Majesty, until when will you act like a monster? Cant you see? Youre the one eating away at yourself.

Rlszd had decided to lend Minhyuk a helping hand because, just like Brod, he remembered what kind of person Nerva was before he gained power and became a greedy monster.

Bastard! How dare a traitor like you talk to His Majesty like that?! One of the Swords of the Gods shouted.

However, Rlszd just turned to him and answered, Emperor Nerva had poisoned the Red Sword Knights and used such despicable and unscrupulous methods to climb his throne. Why do you think this young man over here has won the heart of the Battle God, huh?!

Rlszd was once the idol of all the Swords of the Gods. He and Don both showed enough power and strength to gain the trust of all the knights. But suddenly, both of them were dubbed traitors.

The Swords of the Gods wavered and shook. They no longer knew what was true or what was false. They immediately turned to Nerva to seek for answers.

Are you telling me that you believe the words of a traitor? And hes even on the side of the Beyond the Heavens Emperor.

However, Rlszds words failed to awaken Nerva from his stupor. Nerva continued to insist on his lies, leaving the Swords of the Gods at a complete loss.

Crack

While Minhyuk chewed an Almond of Subordinate, Rlszd made a move. With a wave of his hand, ninety-nine spears glowing with black light appeared and floated around him.

You are no longer the Sun, Rlszd spat coldly as he sent the spears flying toward Nerva.

Just when everyone thought that the spears would stab through Nerva, they flew past him and slammed straight into his statue, holding the sun that was standing right behind him.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!

The statue of the greatest emperor, a statue that no one could break, fell and collapsed. And Nerva? He was left shaking as he stood in front of it.

Summon. Minhyuk opened his mouth and whispered, Luo.

Flash!

With a flash of light, Luo appeared, standing right next to Minhyuk. Now, there were three witnesses present in this hall. Of the three, Luo, who was one of the Swords of the Gods up until recently, was the one who received Nervas orders to poison the Red Sword Knights. In other words, he was the living and breathing witness of the scene back then. If Luo testified here, the credibility of the words Rlszd and Don declared would become much stronger.

Minhyuk looked at Nerva and asked him once again, Can I take Don with me?

Nerva stared at Luo, Rlszd, and Don silently for a long time. Then, he finally opened his mouth and said, You have my permission.
