Armipotent

Chapter 453 - Zowenʼs Turn

There were so many dents on Prince Kaidenʼs armor. Orlean the Demon Prince took off the helmet and kept beating the prince. The reason he picked Prince Kaiden as an opponent was because both were princes. Orlean wanted to prove who was the better prince.

Prince Kaidenʼs eyes turned blue and his lips cracked from the punch. Orlean picked Prince Kaiden by the neck and raised the man to the air, like holding the catʼs neck. The demon let the prince witness the knights being slaughtered.

Orlean could feel the young prince was convulsing fiercely, struggling to break free. The demon prince had broken the young princeʼs mentality. The Archmaster Elementalist used his physical strength instead of his elemental power which proved to be futile.

The young Princeʼs struggle only made him look even more pathetic than he already was. Soon the Demon Prince smelled something unpleasant. The demon looked down only to see the young prince pissed himself.

”P-pwease… pwease s-spawe me…” the young prince begged with his sobbing voice. Not only did he piss himself but he also cried, ”I-I am p-plince… Y-you can trade me for the treasure of my kingdom…”

”Kuhuhuhu…” Orlean let out creepy laughter near the young princeʼs ear, ”Donʼt worry, young prince. As long as you answer all my Masterʼs questions, your life will be spared. Do you understand?”

Prince Kaiden nodded profusely at the chance of his life being spared. This was the reason why Orlean broke the young princeʼs spirit. So Tang Shaoyang could easily interrogate the young prince to get more information.

Tears and snot trickled down on his face as Prince Kaiden witnessed the brutality of the spirits. Reed got his head smashed while Weed had his right hand torn apart.

That was not the scariest part, the scariest part was the swordsman and the Chimera. The cursed creature feasted on the blood and brains of people. This was the first time he saw the legend with his own eyes. The tales did not lie that the Chimera was a damned creature.

As for the swordsman, each slash of his sword would cut the knights. Whether it was neck, head, hands, or even the belly. A lot of humanʼs intestines were scattered on the ground because of the swordsman.

The young prince could no longer bear to watch the scene as his body was convulsing fiercely before his body went limp, passed out from the gore scene. The young prince was pampered since he was a kid, being protected by his brother and mother.

The reason he picked up the weapon and fought was to make his father proud of him despite his motherʼs opposition. Being protected and never been in a war even once, this scene was too much for the young prince.

The battle was quickly over when Bronson joined to slay the 198 knights after the two Captain Knights passed out in his hand. His reavers were tearing the armor and flesh apart, killing the knights without mercy. The title of being Executioner fit perfectly for the undead.

After killing the knights, all the spirits gathered around Tang Shaoyang, ”This is not fun, I canʼt properly test out my newly found power,” that was what Bronson and Zaneos told him after the slaughter. Yowe said nothing to complain.

Crank! Dang!

Orlean the Demon Prince threw the unconscious young prince, ”He is ready to be interrogated, Master.”

After that, Bronson also tossed the two Captain Knights next to the prince. Both unconscious as well with their armors were getting wrecked. Tang Shaoyang glanced at Bronson, ”Are you sure they are still alive?” He could not help but ask after looking at the two Captain Knightsʼ condition.

Both suffered in Bronsonʼs hand. If Prince Kaidenʼs spirit was broken, these two had their bodies broken by the undead. He recalled Bronsonʼs previous title, Knight Slayer. Maybe the undead held a deep hatred for the knight?

”Donʼt worry, Master. I barely use my strength against them, they should be alive,” Bronson answered.

Tang Shaoyang had to squat and check the two Captain Knights. They indeed still breathing, meaning they were alive, ”Alright, you guys can come back. If you are not satisfied with the battle, you guys can have more later. Since the prince is here, they should send their army to rescue their princes. Maybe in one or two days.”

Following his command, all the spirits returned on their own without Tang Shaoyang canceling the skill, ”Wen! Bring them inside!” He then called Wen who was waiting for him.

”Yes, My Lord,” Wen came over and brought the prince and the two Captain Knights into the building.

Meanwhile, Li Shuang could no longer hold it as she threw out everything she ate this morning. Leaning against the glass, she kept throwing up. The same for the prince, what happened down there was still too much for her.

Zowen rubbed the womanʼs back and helped her to the bathroom, ”This is just a matter of time. If you decide to hold a sword to fight, you have to get used to this kind of scene. Our enemy is not just the zombie, but also people who are eyeing our territory.”

”But why? We have a common enemy, that is zombies. Why would we fight each other?” Li Shuang managed to utter those words before she threw up again.

”Greed? Or maybe even more than just greed? You havenʼt seen all the changes so you donʼt understand. When you arrive at the main base, you will understand why people fight for the territory. The territory will give people more power, but not everyone wants to be under someone,” Zowen expressed her thoughts.

”The five groups in this city were an example of that. They want to rule not to be ruled under someone,” The Lightning Magus added, ”Alright, take care. Your man is calling me.”

”Why do you call me? Your woman needs your care, she watched everything,” Zowen said to Tang Shaoyang.

”I will take care of that later, but you have to go back first. Do you want to advance? Or should I summon a new spirit instead?” Tang Shaoyang pointed at the scattered corpses of the Elemental Knights.
