Lord of the Truth

Chapter 816: Once more

As if time had stopped, everything froze in Richardʼs eyes.

The moment he walked out of the portal smiling, he saw a huge demi-human heading toward him like a lightning bolt, carrying a long sword.

Richard didnʼt know who this was, or how he was being targeted before he even left the portal, but he knew one thing... That person was strong and he had to defend himself!

*Shwalaaa*

Starting from the bottom of his foot to the top, the green flame burned on Richard with extreme intensity and began to invade his entire body, then rushed strongly towards his right

arm.

*shred**shred*

Richardʼs right sleeve began to tear lengthwise due to the sudden swelling of his muscles. The sudden pressure that resulted within a fraction of a second made the Marshal open his eyes to the end and put more force into his attack.

But there was no room for much adjustment, Richard punched ahead!

*Srrrrr*!!!

The immense power that Richard put into his fist was almost equal to the Marshalʼs sword, creating a sort of dividing invisible wall between the two.

*Boom*

The compressed air between Richardʼs right fist and the Marshalʼs sword produced a massive explosion like a sound bomb, pushing the crowd back hundreds of meters, spitting blood and bleeding from their ears. Some even suffered internal bleeding, and others died instantly.

”WHAT THE F---..!!!!” Less than a second after the collision, the Marshalʼs pained voice was heard, then...

Richardʼs fist won the pushing match by ever so slightly, but it was enough to break the balance! His punch made the other side of the sword strike the Marshalʼs forehead, and then sent him back like a cannonball!

*boom*

”Arghhhh!!”

”Marshall Dayruth!!!”

The Marshalʼs body couldnʼt be seen as it took off, but everyone knew exactly where he was as he destroyed several apartment buildings in his path.

*silence...*

At this moment, the city fell into a terrible silence, as both allies and enemies looked toward the new arrival.

”Your Highness Richard!!”

”The Crown Prince came for us!!”

”Kill him, he must have been damaged by the collision as well!”

”As if weʼll let you!!”

A new battle took place in front of the round building, but this time its goal was not to storm the building... Now all eyes are on Richard, the remaining residents of the city want to protect him and gather around it, and the soldiers of the Great Serpent Empire want to kill it!

”Who is this person? Why wasnʼt I told about such a strong individual?!” Marshal Straga slowly took out his weapon and grabbed it strongly. He was the most aware of Marshal Dayrothʼs power and the most shocked by what had just happened. Whoever the newcomer was, he was a figure to be reckoned with.

”In response to the Marshal, if we take the reactions and his name into consideration, it is assumed that this is Richard, the son of the Third Truth Chosen.” replied the Marshalʼs close advisor

”His son? I can see it, a boy like this is only befitting to be the direct descendant of a Planetary Emperor... We initially expected this to be the birthplace of the Third Truth Chosen due to the frequent back and forth between this planet and Nihari, which is why Dayroth and I were appointed here together after we arrived, the rebelsʼ confirmed our suspicions, and we even found his family trapped here like dogs and chickens inside the city, and now his son is coming to us as well, after killing everyone here, the Third Truth Chosen will have no choice but to show himself, he will not be able to escape!”

The advisor laughed, ”Your insight is as sharp as usual, my lord. Yes, that is true. His Majesty Emperor Pythor has ordered us to attack all the planets just to besiege and kill the Third Truth Chosen. It is a mission from the Overlord no less important than capturing Planet Nihari, if Your Eminence is able to kill him yourself, Perhaps you can escape from that poor planet and move on to be the sovereign of Planet Nihari!”

”Haha, right, I will cooperate with Dayroth to eliminate this boy first and we will use his head to lure his father, then Nihari will be mine!” Marshal Straga grabbed his weapon and glanced towards the spot where his colleague Dayroth had landed, This punch would not be enough to bring down his colleague, if he cooperated with him, they would be able to kill the son of the Third Truth Chosen easily... But whether against this boy or his father, he had to snatch the final finishing blow for himself!

*Ba-dum*

Marshal Straga opened his eyes wide... In one moment he heard the sound of a strong heartbeat, and in the next moment, he felt a severe shiver running through his body.

*Ba-dum*

Marshal Straga slowly turned his neck towards the source of the sound, towards the entrance of the round building, towards Richard...

*Ba-dum*

The Marshal was not the only one who noticed, the battle around the round building stopped again, and everyone started to slowly retreat, even the Shadow Sword Emperor who had come with Richard and was standing behind him, quickly took a few steps back in fear and then disappeared.

...After his collision with the Marshal, the view opened in front of him.

He saw red.

The ground was soaking wet with blood and minced meat...

After he realized that this was the imperial capital that he remembered, he spread his soul sense in fear, hoping that this was the only battlefield...

*Ba-dum* *Ba-dum*

Richard took a weak step forward, his immense heartbeat, powered by the life energy of tens

of millions of people, started to shake the capital.

He saw it... The entire capital is covered in blood...

He saw burned corpses and the dismembered bodies of children, he saw women hugging corpses crying and elders lying next to their limbs, he saw hundreds of thousands of dead

people lying in every street and every alley.

He saw it... He saw Juraʼs tragedy once more.

*Shwalaaa* *Shhh* *Shwalaaa* *Shhh*

The green flame began to burn on his head and rise until it touched the sky, baring his fangs in anger and hatred, then it was extinguished and a tear fell from his eye and his body trembled

in fear and sadness.

This scene began to repeat itself before everyoneʼs eyes, as if spring and autumn were only passing through his body ignoring the rest.

”AAh.. AAAhh..”

Richard opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out... He raised his hand slowly as if he wanted to reach something, but everything turned into a

mirage.

”Why... Why again... I-- I am here now... I am stronger now!! Why...” With every shattering step he took, his curly golden hair was losing its luster little by little

By the third step, his hair had turned completely white.

”Are you still delirious? Kill him! Whoever brings me his head, I will fetch him enough beast blood to be the next General!!” Sensing that something was wrong, Marshal Straga ordered his followers to attack first to assess the situation

”Die!!” Hundreds of Great Serpent Empire soldiers easily evaded their opponents and rushed towards Richard madly.

In front of the wave of enemies coming from every direction, Richard finally stood up, his

right eye bleeding and his left eye streaming with tears. He clenched his fists tightly, then muttered in a voice that echoed in everyoneʼs souls: ”You all... deserve... death.”

*Fall*

*fall* *fall* *fall*
