Fuck! I shouldn't be doing this! This fortress was a gift by the king himself to the candidates, you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's the tenth time you spouted this, of course I know! So get to work already!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arghh, this can get me a lifetime imprisonment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Aren't you adjusting too well for that though?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pardon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nevermind. Just focus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the three maids, two alive and one dead, Varian gathered some useful access passes that helped them get into the fortresses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the power of slivers, the prince's knowledge and Oob's help, they cracked the authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fortress' highest restriction was the worst thing they had to face. It didn't allow non-royal Palarein to operate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security was breakable but would take more than a few hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Varian used Baldur to make it functional despite the restriction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Extend your hand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Again? N-No, I'll die from blood lo—ah, seriously!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As slash after slash fell on his palm, his blood flowed in streams, messing with the security system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within minutes, Baldur went from a healthy man into a starved hobo. But alas, Varian kept slashing his palm casually while Oob kept throwing healing liquid into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is why I don't work with you! You are my ill-fated star!\" Baldur began to ramble like he's drunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian knocked him on the head. \"If you don't mess around, I'll make you rank 5, no, rank 6.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wh-What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will you behave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take a dozen more liters of blood, Kind Sir! It's useless in my body anyway!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian shook his head in exasperation and they succeeded in taking down the three fortresses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the power of slivers, even rank 9s couldn't have pulled this off. And even with the power of slivers, Varian still needed Baldur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he also needed a man he had long forgotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regent Baldur, the fluctuations ar—\" Former Prince Theoron froze in the middle of his urgent speech as he noticed the familiar face standing beside Baldur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Varian, the disguise was forgettable. For Theoron, it's something he'd never forget even on his death bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-Sir Constantine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a hurry right now. Send us the coordinates of the fluctuations and the estimates of where they could appear. Quick!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no introduction, no pleasantry, nothing. Just a cold order and Theoron didn't even question back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baldur sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Prince Rudolph, Varian never seemed to be bothered with the political mannerisms. But when it came to passing down his orders, he was very authoritative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This guy would be a terrible minister but an excellent monarch...which he already is.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The data came a few seconds later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wa-Wait, are we really going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not going has a higher chance of killing us.\" Varian shook his head. \"They broke the space gate because they were confident they could open a space passage later. If that really happens…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Jai army will invade for certain! Dozens of duchies here might be wiped out.\" Baldur hissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first target will be us.\" Varian shrugged and took the three fortresses into Hortus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teleportation distance was too large for him to pull off but thankfully, the fortresses themselves could perform space jumps. Hortus' will and Oob could assist them in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ladies, I need some help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blinding light and a devouring darkness enveloped the fortresses at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hand appeared not too far from the space explosion. Then, the torso quickly grew and then the other limbs, and finally the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa!\" Princess Sonya gasped as a terrible weakness assaulted her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bastards really went all out in trying to end her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the precautionary measure she managed to pull off at the start, things would've been really dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sonya's eyes flashed with a dark green light and her vision changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the far distance, she could 'feel' the life emanating out of those six Veyans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aha, got you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single thought, six concentrated drops of green power reached the Veyans and attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four reacted in time and teleported away immediately. Two were a bit late and allowed direct contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green drop drilled into their bodies and a painful scream left the mouths of the proudful soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arghhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nooo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their beautiful bodies which had skin akin to space itself were contaminated as green veins began to appear on their arms and face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They clutched their heads and tried to dispel the invader. But like an infesting virus, the life essence began to wreck their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite trying their best, the Veyans' arms began to drop. Their physical strength which could outclass even rank 3 Mystics vanished in just a few moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glowing white star in their eyes turned green. Their minds screamed against this hostile invasion but their bodies began to bend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill those against the Princess!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like fanatical soldiers, they chased after their own comrades and launched waves of attacks. Space cracked and exploded as the two began a dangerous pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Sonya frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I can't keep them under control for more than a minute. I can't order them to kill themselves. If I do, it'll trigger their response and take away my control.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Princess gritted her teeth and tried to think of a solution for the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it looked like she had an upper hand, it was temporary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, she was hiding her aura and remaining in the shadows, trying to knock their strength down so she could face them directly without danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of them were suffering any real damage despite the shift of dynamics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what she worried eventually happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two controlled naturally couldn't exert their full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their combined attacks only managed to injure one of their comrade and they already started to lose control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attack each other!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they injured each other, the two bastards managed to find her location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And before she could escape, four light beams descended in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two light beams that appeared shortly after were much weaker but they looked at Sonya with a smug gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's as if they knew her actions and predicted all this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion got the name because they 'hunted' their targets.\u003C\u002Fp>",1044,"2026-06-06T07:58:46.976Z",1,"novelbin.me","11c347ae3349945481b18522edba668699335bcbd9fbb5b5adcde776c6e013bc","divine-path-system-chapter-1329","divine-path-system-chapter-1327",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
