Lord of the Truth

Chapter 817: The imperial capital coming back to life

*Fall**Fall*

*Fall* *Fall**Fall*

In plain sight of everyone, all those who moved to attack Richard fell to the ground like mosquitoes, one after the other.

”Heʼs dead!!” One of the Great Serpent Empireʼs soldiers quickly moved to check on his brother, finding no life left in him

The rest of the soldiers surrounding Richard took a few steps back, thanking the fact that they were a step behind and didnʼt attack directly like the others.

*Silence...*

More than a thousand law users were killed before their eyes, and no one knew how, even Marshal Straga stared at Richard with his mouth open, not understanding what had happened. He saw everything from beginning to end, Richard didnʼt make a single attack, even if Richard had a soul attack of this scale, he would have noticed it without a doubt!

Richard didnʼt do anything but show killing intent! Itʼs true that it was a hideous killing intent that he had never felt before, even if the killing intent of the nine marshals was combined with His Majesty Paythorʼs, they wouldnʼt amount to anything against it, however, it was still something that showed a personʼs willingness to kill, not a weapon!

”...Or is it possible?” The marshalʼs heart pounded violently, *Is it possible that his killing intent had become so intense that it could actually kill?!*

*Stare*

”Ehh!” In front of Richardʼs silent angry stare, looking at him with his eyes glowing with hatred and killing intent, even someone like the marshal was startled!

But Richard didnʼt do anything after that, with the same deep frown he looked back in front of him, looked at the scattered lumps of flesh and bone, then *repeat* the soles of Richardʼs feet ignited with green flames and began pumping flames underground with high intensity.

”Attack! I canʼt believe he can use that magic again, bring me his head, the offer is still valid!!” Marshal Straga pointed at Richard and shouted in a hesitant voice

*Step*

Upon receiving the direct order from the Marshal, a number of soldiers automatically took a step forward, but they didnʼt take a second, some even took two steps back again!

The sight of their comrades falling like puppets whose strings had been cut was still etched in their memories, who would want to be the experimenters?!

”Humph, this nonsense doesnʼt work on me, the blood of Durger the Devourer will be mine!!” One of the mid-level Martial Emperors next by spat on the ground then took out a great spear that he had tied to his back and rushed towards Richard *swoosh*

Marshal Straga narrowed his eyes and fully unleashed his soul sense, this time he must know what trick Richard was playing!

After closing the distance and realizing that Richard hadnʼt taken a defensive stance or tried to escape yet, the mid-level Martial Emperor laughed loudly, ”Haha, your head is mine, today I will earn my ticket to the-- Ugh? Arrrgh!!!”

In mid-air, the expression of the mid-level Martial Emperor changed to one of terror, and then he fell down, holding his head with both hands, ”Argh!! Ahhh!!!!”

Richard slowly shifted his gaze away from the marshal, staring at that mid-level martial emperor, but yet again he didnʼt move, only his eyes began to glow green and silver, watching him with eerie calm as he pumped green flames into the capitalʼs ground-

A moment ago, something strange happened... His mind collapsed.

Yes, the number of questions that invaded his mind, the amount of sadness, pain, anger, and dozens of other emotions that he didnʼt even exist, all of that made something in his mind click!

But it didnʼt die as he expected, the thing that collapsed in his mind quickly regained its strength and expanded, before he realized it, he found that his soul energy had become much stronger and silver in color!

What happened a moment ago wasnʼt intentional... He unleashed his true, tangible killing intent that he had gathered from the 50 million Giants in Nihari and over 50 million humans on Planet Jura, and for some reason, that terrifying killing intent came into contact with the silver soul that hadnʼt settled yet, forming this deadly weapon that killed over a thousand law users in the blink of an eye without him moving a muscle.

The power of his soul wasnʼt the killing element in this equation, as it hadnʼt left his body, so the culprit here had to be the killing intent itself...

*But how..?* Even in his rage, Richard was surprised, this was something that shouldnʼt have happened... But it didnʼt matter now, he had to kill everyone inside the capital first.

”Fire!” The fleet general that that mid-level martial emperor belonged to shouted to the rest of his followers.

This time, the order was a long-range attack, so everyone took heart and raised their weapons. Dozens of Martial Emperors and thousands of law users in the area aimed their strongest long-range attacks at Richard!

*swoosh* *swoosh*

*Booom*

The city ground at that spot opened up and metal rods in the shape of snakes came out of it, then the rocks gathered and took the shape of golems and they all surrounded Richard from all directions, receiving the attack of an entire field on his behalf.

”What the hell is this?!” Marshal Straga muttered as he watched what was happening, what kind of stone monsters, why do they have enough power to withstand all these attacks? ”Rise.” Richard slowly raised his arm, and a stream of green flame seeped into the bodies of the capitalʼs sons scattered everywhere inside the walls, they all rose with all their energy and began searching for their severed limbs and scattered entrails and put them back inside their bodies, then jumped towards the nearest soldier of the Great Serpent Empire!

”Ahh!!”

”DIE ALREADY!!” One of the soldiers of the Great Serpent Empire shouted and easily knocked his opponentʼs head off, but his body continued to advance and cough him by the neck,

”Arrrgh!!”

Anyone who tried to escape and prepare for a major attack was harassed by a lamppost or simply had the ground split open beneath their feet!

Seeing their sons, fathers and loved ones rise from the dead and fight like this pained the hearts of those left alive in the Imperial Capital, knowing for certain that it was only their bodies that were moving.

However, they followed in their footsteps and fought alongside them one last time...

Mayor Henry and the rest of the youths still capable of fighting were also filled with killing intent and rushed forward, not caring about safety or fear for their lives. For the first time in several days, they saw the advantage in their favor and they were not going to waste this

opportunity!

”ROOAAARRR!!” Dozens of metal snakes and giant golems let out a loud howl and pounced on the Martial Emperors!

”Even if you were a damned stone, I will kill you today!” One of the Great Serpent Emperors shouted and began to burn his blood, but little by little he was pushed back by the golem.

The rest also faced the same problem, the stone golems and metal snakes focused on pushing the Martial Emperors back away from the round building.

...The fight broke out again all over the Imperial Capital, the difference this time was that it wasnʼt one-sided.

”Ahhh... Arghhh.. AA----” After a full minute, the mid-level martial Martial Emperor finally died, his face showing the same signs of horror as the rest!

After Richard confirmed that his victim was lifeless, he slowly moved his head and looked up at Marshal Straga, ”....” Richard didnʼt say a word, there was no need to speak, he just used his soul sense to pull out a golden spear from his void ring, and slowly began to advance. *Crack* Marshal Stragaʼs fingers tightened on his short hammer, something shouting inside him telling him to step back, but his pride stopping him!

*Swoosh*

At this moment Richard noticed an attack from behind him and quickly turned around.

*Boom*
