The palace of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Marquis Eugene Coma, suddenly became chaotic. Several dwarf lords began screaming as they tried to find their way out of the open hall, and a halfling superior councillor took advantage of the stunned majority of the crowd to reach into the pocket of a human lord beside him. The only ones who could remain calm on the scene were the long-lived races such as elves or dwarves, but they didn't seem to believe what was happening in front of them at the moment.

A man with a disheveled head appeared at the door of the open hall, and the blow of the two-handed sword in his hand knocked the two high-ranking knights of the Blood Griffin Knights who walked towards the door to the ground. The head of one of the high-ranking knights flew through the crowd with blood and landed right at the feet of the superior councillor of River Xomea.

The High Councillor of River Xsomia was almost stunned on the spot, how such a terrible incident could have taken place in the presence of Prince Agu Crane at a banquet in the mansion of the Imperial Chancellor of the Holy Acer Empire? The High Councillor managed to shift his gaze from the head of the Blood Griffin Knight on the ground to the man who had cut it off, and the eyes of the assailant shone with a beastly light from under his messy hair, as if looking for his next prey.

The man standing in the doorway of the hall was not very tall, but he was unusually muscular, and the armor of the Blood Griffin Knights he was wearing was already stained with blood, and the drops of blood that dripped to the ground made him look as if he had just returned from some fierce battle. The superior councillor of Ksomia did not quickly understand what was happening, until the man suddenly rushed forward along the red carpet in the center of the open-air hall, the end of the red carpet. It's Prince Jacques Klein's seat.

It's not just River Xomya. There was almost no reaction from the higher level of parliament present; Not too many people have experienced the baptism of the battlefield, and even if they were born in the army, they must have been away from their armor and war horses for a long time. Several of the lords began to roar, especially those of the non-human races, most of whom were usually accompanied by their weapons, but at the moment they could not react in any way other than roaring: outside the mansion of the Marquis of Eugene Coma, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, there were eight special servants guarding the weapons of the guests of the feast. Some lords, who were reluctant to hand over their weapons to others, chose to have their men wait outside the door with their weapons. At the banquet where Prince Argu Crane appeared, these weapons should not be of any use, almost everyone thought, and even the Blood Griffin Knights brought by Prince Argu Crane himself left their shields and swords in the gatehouse of the Marquis's Mansion for safekeeping.

The assailant's pace is quite fast, and his movements are also very agile. Without knocking over a single table or chair, the man approached Prince Jacob Klein.

"Protect Your Highness, Prince!, where is the Marquis Eugene Coma, and where are the guards?" said the superior councillor of Rivers Xomia, almost uncontrollably. As soon as he spoke, the higher councillors remembered that he had not yet seen the Chancellor of the Exchequer since he arrived here today, and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Marquis Rieugène Coma, was probably too bad at the moment. But the shouts of the higher councillors also seem to have played a role. The people began to pick up whatever weapons they had at their disposal, hoping that their knives, forks, and even goblets would be enough to stop the assailant's two-handed sword, and the dwarven lord from the southern Blackstone Hills even threw his beer mug at the man's head. But this brave act immediately attracted the complaining eyes of those around him: it was a trivial matter to be drenched in rye beer from a beer glass, but no one wanted the beer glass to lead the man with the murder weapon to him.

The dwarven lord's beer glass struck the man's forehead with unmistakable accuracy, and a stream of blood poured out of his forehead and ran down his neck to join the man's armor, and I don't know who else was the blood of the two Blood Griffin Knights. At the same time, a light green mist appeared in front of the man's eyes, slamming directly into his face, and a large mass of metal ribbon appeared out of thin air and wrapped around the man's hands and feet. An elven lord and a superior councillor who had been a mage cast their spells on the man at about the same time, and in order to prevent the overly powerful spells from spreading to the others, they chose to use laughter and steel binding, respectively. A group of guards appeared at the entrance of the open hall, and the remaining four of the Blood Griffin Knights brought by Prince Agu Crane rushed in front of the prince, trying to hide the eyes of the assailant who was staring at the prince. Everyone in the open-air hall thought that the man had no other way but to lay down his weapon and surrender.

It's just that the man himself doesn't seem to think so. The green smoke containing the power of laughter, which would have caused almost any sapient creature to fall into laughter and temporarily incapacitate, seemed to have no effect on the man. I saw that the expression on the face of the assailant maintained the numbness that had been hanging on his face since he came in, but with a strong stretch, the metal belt wrapped around his body was completely broken. The man ignored the man who attacked him with beer glasses or magic, and waved his two-handed sword and continued to charge in the direction of the prince, his pace a little quicker than before.

Looking at this seemingly unstoppable man, the Blood Griffin Knights who stood in front of Prince Jacquin Klein and tried to protect their regimental leader immediately turned very ugly, and the assailant opposite was a sharp two-handed sword in his hand, and these Blood Griffin Knights only had a small log stool that they had temporarily picked up as a shield.

Reifer Xsomea's superior councillor's face was equally ugly, and he doubted the reality of what was happening before him, just like the elven lord who had seen the magic he cast fail. But the screams of a Blood Griffin knight struck by a two-handed sword reminded them that Prince Argu Crane's life was at stake. The man's two-handed sword easily split the small wooden bench in the hand of one of the Blood Griffin Knights in half and cut off one of the knight's hands, and the man's two-handed sword struck the Blood Griffin Knight's breastplate, causing the Blood Griffin Knight to fly aside with a terrible scream of pain and a terrible scream, knocking one of his companions to the ground. Right now. Standing in front of Prince Jacques Klein. There were only two unarmed Blood Griffin Knights left.

Most of the surrounding councilors or lords did not dare to step forward. After all, it was not a wise choice to use these knives and forks at hand to fight against the assailant who was armed with weapons, and the only people who could give the prince powerful assistance in such a situation were those who had mastered magic. Immediately, a bolt of lightning and an ice pick struck the man's back and left foot, respectively. Strangely, the two magics lightly created a conspicuous scar on the man's body, but they could not slow the man's pace towards Prince Yagu Crane, who only shook his lightning-scorched shoulders and his ice-picked left foot, and then slashed directly at the prince's head, which was protected by the two blood griffin knights, with his two-handed sword.

However, the prince, who is the head of the Blood Gryphon Knights, is not a weak child. The prince after confirming that the man's goal was himself. He immediately took the cast-iron candlestick beside him in his hand, and now it was this candlestick that shielded the prince from the double-edged sword that slashed at his head. The ensuing sight was unforgettable for all present: the six spears of the guards who had caught up passed through the gaps in the armor and through the man's body at the same time, but the man continued to unheededly try to slash his two-handed sword at the prince's head again.

The two remaining Blood Griffin Knights at the Prince's side came into play, and the two of them rushed forward in tacit agreement, one holding the man's waist in an attempt to keep him from getting any closer to the Prince, while the other used all his strength to support the man's arm, so that the assailant's two-handed sword could no longer slash downward. A fireball struck the man's two palms holding the two-handed sword, causing the two-handed sword to fall silently on the carpet at Prince Jacques Klein's feet.

The prince's movements were swift and productive, and he bent down nimbly to pick up the two-handed sword in his hand and clenched it, then moved nimbly to the side before swinging the two-handed sword at the man.

This blow ended the unexpected battle. The man was beheaded by the first Blood Griffon Knight he had killed when he entered the halls. After his head was cut off by the prince, he dragged the two Blood Griffon Knights who were still clung to him three more steps forward. He fell in front of the people in the open-air hall. Before Prince Yagu Klein, who was pale, had time to catch his breath, he immediately stretched out his foot and pulled away the long, messy hair that covered the man's skull, and appeared in front of everyone with a face that most people were familiar with.

This man was a high-ranking knight in the Knights of the Light of the Knights of the Holy Light of the War Minister Prince Fodor Crane, the rival of the supporter Prince Yagu Crane in the battle for the throne.

Just when the entire Chancellor's Mansion was in suspicion, a figure was sitting on the arm of the statue of Lena on the bank of the River. From this vantage point, the scene in the open-air hall of the Chancellor's Palace was clearly visible, and the body of the assailant was viciously kicked by the prince, and the figure let out a contemptuous sneer before flying into the dark night sky. Behind him, a pair of giant wings like bat's wings stretched out to the sides.

"That's a berserker. Count Brad Klein did not hesitate to come to this conclusion, and the term immediately caused the Knights of the Dragon's Tooth, the High Knight Isis, and the superior member of the National Assembly to gasp.

Berserker, the definition imposed on the man who had committed murder in front of Prince Yagu Klein by the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, was indeed a term that terrified almost any race in the continent of Vesta. Whether it's the strongest and bravest mountain dwarves or the fiercest and most vicious dark elves, they will retreat when they can when they are confronted with berserkers, because once they have attacked, they will never fall without causing horrific damage. Legend has it that when a warrior loses all faith in the land, the gods who look up to it, and the qiē of his life, he unconsciously severes his connection with the gods, and what remains in him is pure flesh and infinite potential. Berserkers are not afraid of any attack, or they have lost the concept of fear in their hearts, and Berserkers are usually synonymous with the most terrifying warriors when they are more powerful than their minds and intellect.

"But. Why a glorious knight of the Knights of the Holy Light. Will he suddenly become a berserker and go on a killing spree in the Chancellor's Palace?" Lever Xomea's senior councillor directly wondered. The berserker before breaking into the open-air hall of the Chancellor's Palace. First by cutting the Chancellor in half, and then by killing all the nearly twenty guards he encountered on the way from the Chancellor's chamber to the entrance of the open hall, everyone who witnessed the mutilated corpses wondered why a Knight of Light had become a bloody murderer, especially since the Church of the Green Leaf, to which the Knight of Light belonged, preached the doctrine of peace, tolerance, and other beautiful terms.

"It's the effect of a spell of charm. A man suddenly pushed open the door of Count Brad Crane's room and bowed to Count Brad Crane, who was sitting at the table. The man was not dressed in the armor of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, like the Counts or the High Knights, nor was it the intricate ceremonial robes worn by the higher councilors. A simple light blue hooded robe covered the man, with magical characters embroidered with silver thread on the cuffs and brim, indicating his mage's identity, and the grinning dragon head embroidered on his chest on the right side of his robe indicates that the mage was also a member of the Dragon's Tooth Knights. Rep. River Xomea's superior noticed two long and one short stripes extending from the dragon's head to his waist, indicating that the mage was of similar rank to Isis in the room. They are all high-ranking knights of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, who are second only to the rank of commander.

Earl Brad Klein and the knight of Isis turned a blind eye to the man's intrusion, as if they had become accustomed to such an impolite manner. The Count stared into the mage's eyes, "I've never heard of an archmage's enchantment that could have such an effect, Hess." ”

The mage named Hess did not avoid the Count's gaze in the slightest, and the blue eyes of a similar color to his robe seemed to exude some strange brilliance: "Yes, my lord. There is no archmage on the continent of Vestal who can transform a believer of the Earth Goddess into an emotionless berserker. However, as far as I know, some kind of creature from the Abyss Demon Realm can break through the limits of enchantment with their innate charm ability, and they can do it. It's possible. ”

Creatures from the Abyss Demon Realm don't need to be explained by the mage Hess. Everyone else in the room knew exactly what race he was referring to: the only people who lived in the Abyssal Demon Realm were the legendary demons. And the demon is just a general term, including the Berserker Demon, the Cowardly Demon and the Ballow Demon all live in the Abyss Demon Domain, which not many people know except for the well-read mages.

Hess knew he had to explain a little deeper: "One of the races of demons is the so-called succubus. Like their racial name, any succubus is naturally good at seduction. ”

"Anyway, it's demons, isn't it? it's unforgivable that these demons should come to the Holy Asserr Empire to cause trouble and cause such an incident. Isis, the superior knight, interrupted Hess's explanation, causing Count Brad Klein to frown slightly. After taking over the position of head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights four years ago, Count Brad Crane's first order was to set up a mage unit in the Dragon's Tooth Knights, and although these mages who joined the Dragon's Tooth Knights have played a significant role in more than a dozen battles in the past few years, the Dragon's Tooth Knights, who worship swords and spears, strength and muscles, have always shown an attitude of reluctance to accept these archmages who hold magic books all day long.

Hess smiled slightly when he heard the words of the superior knight who did not have the slightest hint of common sense about the other world. He didn't try to explain the difference between the terms demon and devil to the upper knight, but he led the conversation directly to a topic that everyone in the room was concerned about: how the demon who had seduced the superior knight of the Knights of Light came to Onyx.

"There is usually only one way for demons to come to our world, and that is through someone's summons. Hess analyzed carefully, while Earl Brad Klein listened attentively to the mage's words. "Otherwise, it's because of some kind of abnormal space-time fluctuation, which may open the passage from the Abyss Demon Domain to the Vestal Continent. ”

"But how could a demon come to Onyx City and then lure a knight to go on a killing spree?" asked Count Brad Klein, a question that the higher councilors wanted to ask.

"The demon's mind is never understood by humans, and perhaps it is just a trick that the demon has come up with in his boredom. But it's more likely that someone summoned the demon to Onyx City and then instructed the demon to create such an event. Hess did not hesitate to answer the Count's question.

Reev Xomea's superior councillor remembered the scene in the open-air hall of the Chancellor's Palace, and it was clear that the target of the original knights of the Knights of the Light, who had become berserkers at the time, was Prince Jacco Crane in the hall. The superior councillor of Rivers Xomya asked the question: "So, who would instruct the demon to assassinate the prince, and what good is this?"

"I don't know. But that day at the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild, I once felt a very special aura, it didn't seem to belong to any race on the Vestal continent, and I thought there must have been a demon in the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild at that time. Hess's answer was quite skillful, not directly expressing his own judgment, but making everyone understand what he was trying to say.

"Thieves' Guild again, but why is the target ......?" the Count muttered to himself, then turned his gaze directly back to the face of the superior councillor of River Xomea, "This question will come back to that." Thank you, Mr. Councillor, for sending me this message late at night, and I'm glad you weren't overly frightened tonight. However, the Dragon's Tooth Knights will never let go of this demon and the people who instruct it behind it. (To be continued......)
