Chapter 640 New Ruler

?Thud!

The Crown Prince fell and Vale knew that the war was indeed almost over, as the rebel forces had already gained the upper hand.

At that time, it wasn't just the lifeless body of the Prince that fell to the ground. It was also the moral of the kingdom's soldiers.

The rebels had broken the formation of the soldiers, and entered the city. The Artificial Humans also seemed to have gained senses as they hesitated for a moment before fleeing the battlefield.

Of course, that was easier said than done as the Sorceres of the Church were aiming for this moment.

Furthermore, because of the sabotage made by the spies, they were able to destroy the royal airships, and killed numerous Arcanists in the process…

It didn't take long before the palace was surrounded and some elite Arcanists stormed inside. They slaughtered the knights, servants, and everyone in the castle who hadn't pledged allegiance to them before.

This was to ensure that no members of the Royal Family would survive by disguising into some unknown servant of the palace.

Soon, the rebels led by the Black and White Knights of the Marquis had reached the throne room, and confronted the King.

"Just give up… Your execution will be made public for the sins you have committed." The Black Knight said as he approached the King.

All the knights that had previously protected the King were already dead, and he was now alone, sitting on his throne as if he were enjoying his last moments as the ruler of this kingdom.

"Hmph!"

The King was now old and weak, but he was still proud and defiant.

He refused to surrender!

He stood up, and said in a loud voice.

"I am King Dominick III, the ruler of the Ruri Kingdom. I am the descendant of the Great Arcanist Ves, who founded this kingdom. The Creator of the Artificial Humans! I am the King, and I will not yield!"

The rebels were not impressed by the King's words. They were disgusted by his arrogance, and they were enraged by his crimes.

The King was even proud that he was the creator of the Artificial Humans!

There was no doubt that they needed to end his reign and his life.

The King, however, had a last resort. He had a hidden Formation Core in his hands, that would activate a self-destruct mechanism.

He had installed it in the palace, and its explosion would cover the entire city!

Although he had never hoped for this to happen, he was certainly prepared to die to protect his honor.

"A public execution? I will not accept it!"

King Dominick III had decided to take everyone with him!

He activated the Formation Core with his remaining energy, and hoped to end his life and everyone else's.

As he did this, he spoke in a bitter voice.

"If I can't rule this kingdom, no one can. I will die, and you will die with me."

The King then closed his eyes as he waited to be vaporized by the explosion.

However, even after a few seconds, nothing happened.

"What?" The King was in disbelief.

The rebels who thought that something was about to happen were also confused.

The King's plan was foiled.

"Hahaha!" The source of this ᴄontent ɪs Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

Suddenly a laugh was heard and a figure entered the throne hall.

It was Sun Sorcerer Hogan who had entered the palace with his brigade of Sorcerers.

It seemed that he sensed the King's action and did something to stop the self-destructive mechanism of Formation Art!

While looking at the King, the Sun Sorcerer spoke in a calm voice.

"Nice try, Former King. But you won't escape your fate. At the very least, I will allow you to die right now instead of being executed in public."

Without waiting for the King's response, the Sun Sorcerer activated a Spell that would kill the King instantly.

He aimed at the King's heart and released a ray of light. Then, he whispered in a cold voice.

"You have made a mistake dabbling into the creations of Artificial Humans."

Whoosh~

The ray of light hit the King's heart, and pierced it.

It was momentary, but the King felt a sharp pain, and collapsed.

Just like that, the King was dead, and his reign was over.

The rebels cheered and celebrated as they saw the King's death.

They had won the war, and they had taken the capital. They soon freed the people that were being imprisoned to advance the Artificial Human Project…

They then gathered all the corpses, and brought them to one place. They wanted to honor the dead and bury them properly, but they also wanted to let Vale see them and let him do his work.

Meanwhile, the Sun Sorcerer visited Vale in the hidden Airship after some time.

"Sir Vale, thank you for your help. If not for your Anti-Magic Spell, the King might have activated that dreadful self-

destruction spell." The Sun Sorcerer said, which surprised the two noblemen. They had no idea that something like that happened.

"It's fine... Do you know how to disable the self-destruction? I only temporarily blocked it. That Formation Art is pretty awesome if not for that feature. Don't just dismantle it." Vale replied.

"Ahh... We have Formation Experts on our side, so it can be disabled in a month or two after it is analyzed. We'll work on it quickly since the Marquis will probably not enjoy his seat with that bomb below him." The Sun Sorcerer replied with a chuckle.

"So it was like that! I will count on you then, Sun Sorcerer." Marquis Morgan said with a smile. He didn't have any renowned Formation Expert on his side and could only depend on the Sun Sorcerer in this case.

"Hmm? Sun Sorcerer Hogan... Is there a problem? It looks like you still have something to say." Viscount Truman asked after noticing the Sun Sorcerer's expression.

After some hesitation, the Sun Sorcerer replied.

"This... Sadly, when I inspected the treasury, it had already been opened, and someone must have been there before. More than half of the Treasures were missing."
