Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 273: Attacking King Aldric

’She gives us a chance to return alive?’

The disciples of Misty Palace found it hard to believe what they were hearing, especially Nolan.

If there were a ranking for the person they hated most, he was sure he would take first place because he was Nathalie’s disciple and had done many cruel things.

He even openly said he wanted to torture Ren and Scarlett until they begged for forgiveness, yet here, she still gave him the same chance as the others.

Of course, he was pleased with how events were playing out because, with this, he still had the opportunity to avenge his master.

’The heavens haven’t abandoned me! They are still giving me a chance to strike back.’

He still hadn’t noticed that he was being used by Althea because he thought she was afraid of his organization.

’Let’s make a fake promise.’

He nodded when the other disciples glanced at him.

"We agree." Liora lied. "We will meet king Aldric to say goodbye. After that, we will return to our organization and never come back again."

"You can leave now." Althea knew what they had in mind, but she pretended as if she knew nothing.

Nolan and the others rose to their feet.

They didn’t fly into the sky immediately; instead, they left the battlefield on foot.

They still doubted that Althea had let them go so easily, so they remained on guard, carefully watching their surroundings as they retreated.

’I don’t see anyone planning to attack us.’

They exchanged glances before returning their attention to their enemies again.

’I think it’s safe. Let’s fly to the Tuiziya Kingdom now.’

After exchanging nods, they soared into the sky.

"King Aldric, I hope you will enjoy my little gift." Althea’s lips curled up into a smirk as she saw them flying in the sky because everything went according to her plans.

The Tuiziya Kingdom, Throne Room.

"What happened to you all? Why did you return to the palace? And where is your First Elder?" King Aldric, who was sitting on his throne, asked many questions at once.

"We lost the war. As for my master, she...she..." Nolan could not finish his words and gritted his teeth in anger.

"What happened to her?" King Aldric repeated his question.

"The First Elder fell on the battlefield," Liora answered in Nolan’s place. "Ren killed her."

King Aldric stood up in shock. "She was killed by Ren?"

"Yes." Liora was not surprised by King Aldric’s reaction because everyone thought Nathalie would become a hero in the war, someone who would save the Tuiziya Kingdom from their enemies.

King Aldric collapsed onto his throne, and his body instantly turned frail.

’Aunt Natalie died at his hands?’

The light in his eyes dimmed because her death was a heavy blow to him.

When he was overwhelmed with sadness and let his guard down, Althea ordered the disciples of Misty Palace to kill him.

She could see the situation in the palace through their eyes, so she knew it was a perfect time to carry out her plans.

’Kill him now!’

The puppet masks appeared on their foreheads, and their eyes gleamed red.

The disciples of Misty Palace had become her puppets, so they listened to the order and attacked King Aldric immediately.

"Earth Bullets."

"Gravel Storm."

"Frost Needle Rain."

"Frozen Shardwave."

"Water Javelin."

"Root Spear."

Elemental magic exploded in a coordinated attack, lighting up the hall with colorful flashes and rushing straight toward the king like a storm unleashed.

The soldiers in the Throne Room were shocked by their actions because they were people Nathalie had brought into the kingdom.

King Aldric, who was the target of the assault, stiffened and widened his eyes in stunned disbelief.

’What?!’

Due to how shocked he was, he remained in his seat and could only watch helplessly as their attacks approached him.

Luckily, his two shadow guards dragged him off the throne just before their attacks could riddle his body with holes.

"What the fuck are you doing?" King Aldric roared angrily.

Without him noticing it, a small needle quietly pierced his right arm.

"Explode!" Nolan said.

*Burst.

King Aldric’s right arm exploded in a spray of blood and bone.

"Aaaggghhh..." King Aldric cried out in pain. "Kill them! Kill them now!"

He no longer cared about their identities.

They had tried to kill him, so he wanted them dead.

One of the shadow guards rushed toward the disciples of Misty Palace, followed by the soldiers.

*Slash...Slash...Slash...

The shadow guard was a Grandmaster rank assassin, so it was not hard for her to kill them.

When Althea noticed that her plan had failed, she gave a new order.

’Leave the Throne Room and kill every soldier you see.’

The disciples of Misty Palace dispersed in all directions to carry out her command.

"Chase them! Don’t let a single one of them escape!" King Aldric roared.

The soldiers outside the Throne Room had no idea what was happening, so they greeted the Misty Palace disciples with friendly smiles and relaxed behavior.

"Oh, hi, Nolan! What ar-" The blue-haired soldier could not finish his word because Nolan sliced his neck instantly.

"They are disciples of Misty Palace. They are so elega-" The brown-haired soldier died before she had finished her words.

The soldiers thought they were still their allies, so they let their guard down. In less than ten minutes, over a hundred soldiers had been slain by the disciples of Misty Palace.

They could only be stopped when the female shadow guard told the soldiers that they had betrayed the king and tried to kill him.

Once they had eliminated all the disciples of Misty Palace, they dragged their corpses back to the throne room.

"His Majesty, we had killed them." the female shadow guard reported.

King Aldric, who was being treated by a healing mage, said nothing and only stared at them angrily.

Even though his life was saved, they could not restore his right arm, so he was still filled with anger. freewebnoveℓ.com

"Hmm?" the male shadow guard approached the corpses when he noticed something.

’Puppet marks?’

He had seen puppet marks before, so he finally understood why they suddenly attacked King Aldric.

"What’s wrong?" King Aldric asked.

"Your Majesty, the marks on their foreheads are puppet seals," the male shadow guard said. "I believe they were being controlled by someone from the Veneian Kingdom."

"Puppet marks? Are you saying they released them on purpose kill me?" King Aldric asked.

"Yes. I believe so." the male shadow guard replied.

"No wonder they only spared them." King Aldric finally understood everything.

"Your Majesty, how should we explain this to Misty Palace?" the female shadow guard inquired.

"I will shift the blame to them." King Aldric replied. "Tell everyone not to say a word about what happened just now."

"Understood, Your Majesty." His subordinates replied in unison.

At the same time, in the Veneian Kingdom’s camp, Althea was heading to her tent.

Even though her plan had failed, she was not angry or disappointed because she managed to destroy King Aldric’s right arm and killed several soldiers.

’Hmm?’

Her lips curled up into a smile once she stepped into her tent.

"What are you doing here?" she asked as she hung her furry jacket on the ornate coat stand near the entrance of her royal tent.

"I want to be alone with you." Ren replied.
