Chapter 455: The Prince Has Arrived Again

As a former Archmage who had once broken through his rank, Mofisite had long ago captured a level-nine undead creature.

It was only due to the strength constraints of his regular form that he could not summon the Bone Bear.

If the number of "Sacrificial Offerings" killed this time had not been insufficient, he would not have had to devour the Witch Soul Bead to protect himself.

He had originally thought that after leveling up, he could rely on the Bone Bear to punch Luoning and kick Ruidar, but he never expected that this undead creature would return to its homeland the moment it appeared, before even finishing its signature move.

Mofisite fell into a state of deep self-doubt; was this really a level-nine creature?

Luoning slowly landed back on the ground, stepping on the withered bones of the Bone Bear, his Attribute Panel appearing before his eyes.

At this moment, he had 10,009 Attribute Points and 20,000 Energy Essence!

The last time he was this wealthy was when he completed the final tier at Beiluola's and obtained the Wealthy achievement.

He no longer hesitated and invested 4,749 Attribute Points into his progress as a Magician.

In an instant, Luoning broke through the Knight's Consciousness Wheel and the Magician's Qi Wheel, his spirit and physical strength growing rapidly.

At the same time, a faint Heaven and Earth Will was bestowed upon him.

"This is!"

Mofisite's expression shook violently; he could feel the obscure yet unfathomable fluctuations emanating from Luoning, which were the very signs of becoming a Blazing Sun Knight and a Grand Archmage!

This young man before him had actually leveled up in the middle of a battle?

How could this be!

Ruidar also sensed this change and felt extremely envious in his heart.

This kind of Heaven and Earth Will bestowal was a minor additional strengthening on top of the breakthrough.

He assumed it was because he had returned to the strength of his previous life, so when he broke through a while ago, no Heaven and Earth Will had descended.

This included the Mofisite before them; when he leveled up, there was none either.

Luoning sensed the changes after leveling up.

He felt that not only had his strength soared, but after receiving the strengthening from the Heaven and Earth Will, he had become even more integrated into this world.

He closed his eyes; besides being able to sense Elemental Power, he could also see a purer, more powerful ocean of energy above the Elemental Power.

Although no one told him what this ocean of energy was, he already had an epiphany—this was the Extreme Origin Power.

Besides this, he could now sense the state of creatures within a three-mile radius using only his Mental Power, without even needing to use Detection Wind.

He had been able to emit Mental Power before, and could even use it to control objects, but such a situation had never occurred.

"Truly amazing."

Luoning's mind returned, and he glanced at the remaining 5,260 Attribute Points on his Attribute Panel. Considering the utility of Mental Power and his recent research with Suofeiya regarding Magic, he chose an allocation plan biased toward the Magician path.

【Level】: 9-Blazing Sun Knight (2260/20000); 9-Grand Archmage (3000/30000)

He opened his eyes, a satisfied smile hanging on the corners of his mouth.

Finally, he stood at the peak of strength on the Orland Continent.

He did not know if the Auduin Kingdom had any level-nine Transcendental, but at least in the Auduin Kingdom, it seemed that apart from him and Ruidar, there was only Beiluola Xierwa.

Oh, he missed one; there was also the Mofisite before him, though this person would be gone soon.

"You..."

Mofisite took a step back; his already pale skin was now ghastly white.

"What do you want?"

Everything he could summon had been smashed; in the current situation, facing two Blazing Sun Knights, one of whom was also a Grand Archmage, he had no chance of winning.

Mofisite was now full of regret. If he had known, he should have left when the other party was attacking the city. He truly had not expected that even though he had hidden far enough away, he would still be discovered.

A hint of amusement flashed in Luoning's eyes; the other party actually asked such a low-level question at a time like this.

Whoosh—

Light shone on the Liuyan Sword once more; Luoning prepared to end the other party's life.

However, at this moment, a loud cry rang out in the distant sky. Several Griffins hovered briefly in the high altitude before diving rapidly toward the hilltop where Luoning was.

Luoning narrowed his eyes; he had seen the golden Griffin in the lead before—it was the mount of Crown Prince Jialete, who had visited Anbian City a while ago.

He had originally thought the royal family would send Buluoer, but he had not expected the person to come would be Jialete.

The expression on Mofisite's face eased slightly; Hesusu's distress signal seemed to have been effective. The Crown Prince, who was at the border of the Kingdom, had arrived.

However, why did only five people come?

The Griffins circled down, bringing a massive wind pressure that kicked up dust all over the ground, leaving the mountaintop hazy.

Luoning instantly cast a Clear Wind Spell, and the view before him immediately became clear.

Jialete jumped off the back of the Griffin with a grim face. He surveyed the surrounding environment and his gaze swept over Mofisite; he did not need to ask to know the identity of this black-robed Magician.

At this time, Hesusu, who had been hiding in the distance, saw his nephew arrive and came running over, rolling and crawling.

"Jialete, you've come just in time! Wushan Territory has rebelled, Luoning and Lulansi, they have betrayed the Auduin Kingdom!"

Hesusu clamored: "Quickly go and have your father issue an encirclement order to wipe out the Wushan Family!"

Jialete's cold gaze met Luoning's calm eyes. He suppressed the anger in his heart and demanded: "I warned you last time in Anbian City. I didn't expect you not only to ignore it but to become even more rampant! Luoning, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"What am I doing?"

Luoning pointed to the war in the distance that was nearing its end, then pointed to Hesusu and Mofisite.

"Naturally, it is to uphold the prestige of the royal family and for the peace of the Kingdom, to eliminate these alien races who have become the lackeys of the Demon God!"

Jialete was in a very bad mood. To him now, whether they were alien races was no longer important; what was important was that Luoning had not given him the respect due to a future King.

"Whether Hesusu is the so-called Witch Soul Clan you speak of, Archmage Fasulei has already verified it."

"Enough, Jialete. You know the truth better than I do, and I don't want to waste my breath on you..."

Luoning glanced at the few people beside the other party; they gave Luoning a feeling much stronger than those from last time.

But no matter how strong they were, at most, they were likely only at the Meteor level.

"State your purpose for coming here, Jialete."

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Jialete's eyes; from his youth until now, who had not been humble and respectful toward him? Never had anyone spoken to him as rudely and insolently as Luoning.

He suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth, and said, "Hand Hesusu and him over to me. Wushan Territory need not concern itself with the affairs of Yueguang Valley anymore. Now, take your men and retreat entirely to Anbian City, and await the orders of His Majesty the King!"

"Oh?" Luoning asked curiously, "Is this your intent, or is it the intent of His Majesty the King?"

"It is, of course, my intent."

Jialete did not shy away at all, "However, my intent is the intent of the King, my father!"

Luoning gave a scornful smile.

Bruno was in the prime of his life; although the position of Crown Prince was firm and secure, unshakable by anyone, the Crown Prince was, after all, only the Crown Prince and did not yet have the authority to make decisions directly on behalf of Bruno.

Jialete wanted to exercise the King's power now; if this were an ancient feudal dynasty, this would be a very dangerous act, and nine times out of ten, he would even lose his position as Crown Prince.

As for how Bruno would decide, Luoning believed Albert had already conveyed the information to him; if the King had intended to interfere with this operation at Wushan Castle, the Griffin of Golden Feather City should have come to stop it before the siege began.

Now that Yueguang City was about to be taken and there was still no sign of Buluoer or anyone else, this at least indicated that Bruno had tacitly approved of this operation.

Of course, regardless of what attitude Bruno held or what demands Jialete made, Mofisite had to be finished here today.

Once allowed to leave, it would only lead to endless trouble.

He took a deep breath, and his aura radiated outward: "What if I refuse all of your proposals?"

Jialete's gaze suddenly became incomparably sharp, "Then accept my challenge; whoever loses, leaves!" (End of this chapter)
