Chapter 646 Star Assassin

Alistair had to make the quick preparations. He knew the extent of Emeros's control over Valler and knew what the plans would be. 

There was no time, and every action that they would do would create a severe reaction. Alistair continued to explain the shocking plan that the Continents Above the Sky had and how a secret battle would start that would sacrifice billions of people as the powerful spell would ravage many kingdoms and cities.

Alistair now knew that Crown Prince Rupert, or Magnus as he loved to be called, would be the end for the kingdom, and he had to stop the plans at once.

The ship of Alistair drew great attention as it began to fly over the town square in the dark of the night. And they were hovering at a very low altitude, and many began to wonder what was happening.

"But my Prince... That plan is... insane! Are you sure you are not hallucinating?!" His trusted adviser stood by.

"It was not a hallucination!" Alistair shouted back.

At once, Alistair disappeared and appeared behind his adviser with a blade at the ready.

The adviser was shocked.

"See that?! You have just ascended into the realms of Cardinal! And you have a Dexterity stat that was high! You did not see that movement technique! That's because it was this assassin's technique!" Alistair pointed the blade deeper.

  "The Star Unsealing Path is an ancient weapon that was sealed within. It was said that invaders of all sorts and even the gods and devils we have in our myths have once tried to breach and take control of this region in a war long ago. The God-King that ruled over us and gave us this place created a massive seal so that most Gods and Devils would not enter! And according to the legends, the time to open the seal has come! Most of the Kingdoms in the Continents Above the Sky and those far above it who rule over the planets have plotted to open the seal. They are confident they could conquer worlds where each kingdom will have its own planet!" Alistair explained.

"But sire... The story is just too... strange!"

"Strange?! A mortal boy rode this ship and crafted a Low-Grade Elemental Core that helped you ascend to become a Cardinal! What stranger things do you need to prove his power?!" Alistair cursed.

"Prince Alistair. If what you said is true, these reckless actions could be detrimental. You say that the famous Physician, Valler, is a spy who plans to take control of the Floating Continents and move them in that specific order to create a grand Energy Conversion Circle... Even if that were true, forcing this thing to be revealed will brand you as the insane one. We are doing things outside of the ordinary by positioning our ship here. If Valler does appear, and we fight him and get a confession, we do not have the credibility to convince the public."

"I know that! But we only have an hour! But it would be more disastrous if we ignore this! My concern is no longer my survival, the crown, or reputation! I want this Kingdom to survive! This battle and the confession will be incredibly controversial and would put my name in the front of all newspapers! But the message will also be delivered! People will hear of this strange plan, which could spread through all Floating Continents! As long as that news gets out, the plans of these insane men will be hindered! And that gives my Prince the time he needs to move up there!"

The two advisers were silenced by Alistair's words. They could see his conviction.

"You would choose to be... the mockery of the Floating Continents? And you will be at the cross-hair of our foes."

"This will surely make the Continents Above the Sky act. But... I believe that Emeros plans to use the other kingdoms above. From Valler's memories, I have a deeper understanding of the kingdoms above this place. There are righteous kingdoms as well. In any case, prepare the arrows. We have to make it look realistic."

Lights began to flash as the armed forces of Alistair appeared one after the other and caused a commotion right in the city.

Valler was already down the square and was trembling in pain. He tried his best to resist the orders, but it was useless.

He had orders and had clauses. He could no longer betray Emeros or inform his family of what would transpire.

His orders was to tell Alistair the truth of everything!

Many soldiers had gathered around the town and were confused at the bright lights and commotion the Prince was making.

He would have already been arrested if it had not been for his name. 

"Alistair! What in the blazes are you doing?! This is not the royal palace where you can parade your ship like that and party!" A prince stood up and was irritated. This was Prince Terenyos, who had also been within the district close to the academy.

Alistair appeared as the ship opened and revealed a platform.

Several magical talismans were displayed, and he began to call out to the city.

"Valler! Physician Valler! You may have escaped, but we know you have been struck with the Truth Serum poison! Now tell us! Tell us your real identity! You dare to assassinate Teacher Emeros?! You fool!" The shout echoed to the city, and those up to ten kilometers away heard the full blast of the cry and awoke many to sleep.

"You did it in darkness, but we will announce your schemes in light! That Truth Serum will force you to speak! So show yourself and answer my questions! Who...are you?! And say it out loud in case I can't hear you!" Alistair shouted.

Many nearby frowned and glared at the Prince.

"Physician Valler? What business does this insane Prince have with him?!"

lightsnοvεl "Didn't Physician Valler help that Emeros? And now, Valler is an assassin?! What's going on?!"

Many below began to talk as they heard and gathered around the hall.

Valler trembled as he heard the question and felt the prompt. He then took action.

He needed to kill the Prince; otherwise, he would be forced to answer all his questions!

BOOM!

The might of a Cardinal erupted out and frightened those nearby. Such a power would rarely appear so quickly!

"I am Valler Crowcrown! One-Star Assassin of the Crow Family!" Valler shouted as he shot out of the darkness and answered the Prince.

The Prince took control of two cannons that he was armed with.

It took aim for Valler.

"Go! Defend me!" Alistair ordered.

The guards of the prince leaped out to fight. It took courage to face the Cardinal, and even though Alistair told them he was ordered to not kill them, facing the pressure of a high-level Cardinal was no easy feat!

The figure of Valler blurred as if he had vanished.

Alistair watched and suddenly triggered the buttons, and the ship shot a strange energy.

Valler evaded it with ease. Though the Prince could see him as he had memories and knowledge of the movement techniques, Valler was faster.

And then, the expected result occurred.

SMASH!

Valler crashed on the massive force field that suddenly manifested.

Alistair then sent out a massive fireball at Valler.

BANG!

But even at the combo, Valler managed to escape and flee from the coming attacks of the guards chasing him. 

"Hmp! I know your eyes can see magic! That's why I masked it! Now tell me... Valler Crowcrown! Who ordered you to assassinate Emeros?!"

"Crown Prince Rupert and Jezael Crowlord!" Valler answered back as he was trembling from the pain he received.

He was about to move again, but then...

"Stop. Focus on healing your wounds." A faint voice spoke.

Valler recognized the voice of Emeros.

And he could not move!

Emeros sneered within the darkness.

He watched and gave commands as he spoke directly to Valler.

Valler did not understand how and was glancing around.

"Do not give away my location. If you're curious, I made a little mark on you. A message energy conversion circle. It acts like a message talisman, though it only lasts for a while. Now, be a bit more obedient. Your mission is to wound Alistair so that he cannot talk. You will have your chance. Fight well!"
