The dilapidated ballroom had been replaced by a regrowing forest, half of its golden glow completely obscured by lush foliage.

Countless elves were sent by Kokot to the vicinity of a giant tree.

They climbed on the branches, poking their heads out of the lush green leaves, looking curiously at the towering transparent barrier that rose in front of them.

Under the careful protection of Kocot, the elves completely avoided the battle in the courtyard, so that they could watch from safety and sound.

The nobles stood at the edge of the courtyard, and they looked up with a pale glint of wonder and bewilderment in their eyes.

Until now, the nobles were puzzled by the reason for the sudden appearance of the witchers.

The identity of visitors was strictly controlled within the empire, especially in the royal capital.

Every non-resident of the empire who entered the royal capital was subjected to a rigorous identity check.

to ensure that the background of each outsider is well understood.

And an organization like the Demon Hunters suddenly appeared in the royal capital on a large scale, and their identity information was not revealed.

This was almost unheard of in the Empire.

What's more, this time, they not only appeared in the royal capital, but also ran out in groups.

If it weren't for their sudden appearance around the banquet hall, it might not have been noticed by the nobles present until they left.

But when they thought about it, the Empress of the Empire was also a witcher!

All of a sudden, it all made sense.

So, they didn't find out.

When Leah, who was in the distance, saw this group of witchers, she quickly lowered her head, covered her face with her hands, and was silent.

Seeing Leah's appearance, Gwen thought she was uncomfortable.

So he patted Leah's back lightly with doubts and asked softly:

"Leah, what's wrong with you?"

"I didn't ...... It's okay. ”

Leah looked up, barely squeezing out a smile.

Because Leah noticed.

These witchers are the same people who have recently signed a contract with Clavenna and are forced to work in her home.

Needless to say, this must have been Victor calling them out again.

But the problem is, whether it's a demon or a smuggler who leaves behind this illegal entry.

At worst, that's a crime!

And it's a sum of sins!

Although this kind of behavior similar to wandering in the gray area of the law, their family has not done it less.

But!

It was before, and now it's now!

On this occasion, the nobles and royals gathered, and what Victor did was tantamount to completely stripping his clothes for others to see.

When the nobles recovered from their shock, everyone knew what a heinous crime their family had committed.

After a long moment, Leah took a deep breath.

After pondering for a long time, he gradually revealed a relieved expression.

"Forget it."

Crime? If you commit it, you will commit it!

Anyway, their family has openly supported Princess Aurelian.

When the time comes, the princess will be on the throne, and the princess's teacher will still be Victor.

Who cares what their family has done?

Thinking of this, Liya simply gave up caring about the family's face.

After all, it's useless to worry about it, and it's only a matter of time before Kravenna's reputation deteriorates.

It's not going to be good anyway.

Thinking of this, Liya suddenly relaxed.

And at this time, she finally had time to look at the transparent barrier ahead.

From a distance, she couldn't quite see what was going on inside.

It's just that Leah knows that Victor is still inside, and she can't help but be a little worried.

The demon looks so scary, it shouldn't be hurt.

Thinking of this, she curiously turned her head to Gwen next to her and asked:

"In this way, the two emperors can be ...... Did you control the demons? ”

Before Gwen could reply, a somewhat familiar voice sounded from behind the two without warning:

"The second prince is the carrier of the demon."

"What we have to do is to remove the demon from the second prince."

As the voice sounded, the two couldn't help but look back.

It was a woman wearing a silver-white mask and also wearing a witcher's tight-fitting uniform.

Her graceful figure loomed under her bodysuit, a wide black hood that completely covered her hair and half of her head and hung over her shoulders.

With the sound of her crisp footsteps, the other party walked in front of Leah.

However, hearing the other party's words, Liya was a little puzzled, and her eyes were full of clear doubts.

Because she didn't understand at all.

And the other party seemed to understand that Liya didn't understand, and explained it very simply.

"We can make sure that the demons will be contained."

Leah immediately understood.

Thinking that the other party is wearing the same costume as those demon hunters inside, the credibility should be very high.

However, at this moment, Gwen's gaze suddenly fixed on the female witcher.

Feeling Gwen's gaze, the other party coughed lightly twice, and then let out a deep voice:

"Ahem...... Any questions? ”

She even deliberately lowered her voice a little.

Gwen didn't respond, just lowered her head, her eyes scanning the figure of the witcher in front of her from top to bottom.

Eyes swept back and forth over each other's chests, as if measuring something.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance, and the pale field in the distance slowly dissipated.

The transparent barrier that soared into the sky slowly collapsed from the sky like a shattered mirror, and its interwoven countless lines began to flutter.

Feeling a huge wave of air coming from the center of the courtyard, Gwen and Lia hurriedly looked back.

Countless nobles stared at the cracked Optimus Barrier and the pale fragments scattered in shock.

As the barrier disappeared, the massive demon trapped above the clouds began to fall from the sky.

Its massive body was gradually revealed, and it fell straight down to the earth.

Rumble!

The moment the huge body fell to the ground, it stirred up a wave of dust ten meters high, and even the ground of the courtyard cracked again.

As the smoke cleared, the Great Prince was stunned and looked at the huge demon that had fallen on the courtyard in disbelief.

At this time, the gigantic Minotaur had been stripped of much of its power.

It collapsed limply to the ground, its massive body shrinking rapidly and becoming much smaller.

His body was tightly wrapped in pale chains, and his limbs were firmly pinned by heavy silver spears.

At this time, everyone present seemed to realize something, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the group of demon hunters.

The witchers all stood behind Claudia, standing upright, like loyal guards.

Claudia, on the other hand, stood still, still clutching a slender silver spear in her hand.

Her steps were light, and with the sound of crisp footsteps, she slowly walked in front of the Minotaur.

The massive Minotaur slowly raised its head.

The moment she saw Claudia, her red eyes became dull, and her eyes were even full of compassion and pleading.

However, it could not speak, for its upper and lower jaws had been pierced by the spear of the special material, and it had been completely welded to it.

So, it can only peak through its nose, gasping for air.

Claudia approached the demon, her blood-colored pupils gradually regaining her composure.

She looked at the demon in front of her whose jaws were pierced by spears, and her face was blank.

At this time, Victor, who witnessed this scene, was standing behind the queen and bowed to her slightly.

"Your Majesty, I'm amazed by how fast you can handle it."

Claudia didn't turn her head, but responded lightly to Victor:

"Jealous of the Demon, I know everything about it, including every one of its weaknesses."

She stared down at the second prince, her calm gaze meeting the other party.

"Family, friendship, love."

"Money, status, fame."

"Only jealousy is most susceptible to these things."

Claudia said, and with a slight twist of her wrist, silver spear flowers bloomed in midair.

The fierce light in his eyes pierced the heart of the second prince like a sharp blade.

"All the fault is on me."

"So, it's up to me to put an end to this."

Claudia held a silver spear in her backhand, which seemed to pierce the second prince's head at any moment.

Oweyser was terrified and collapsed to the ground weakly, watching his mother look at him.

It was as if the next moment it would be brutally pierced by that cold spear.

This time, it is not clear whether he will die, but this half life will definitely not be able to run.

But Claudia would not show him any mercy.

Eventually, the silver spear, under the power of Cletia, stabbed Oweyser into the head.

But at the moment when she stabbed at Oweyser, a powerful golden repulsion suddenly appeared in the air.

It was as if it had turned into an invisible air current, firmly resisting the tip of the silver spear.

The body of the spear trembled slightly, and the golden glimmer was suspended in mid-air and continued to rise towards the queen.

Seeing the spear in mid-air crumbling, Claudia's eyes widened slightly in surprise as she hid behind her mask.

Suddenly, a downpouring force shook the silver spear into the air, creating a pale trail in the air.

Ding——

The spear flicked a few times on the cracked courtyard floor in the distance, and slammed into the nobleman who fell to the ground.

The nobles trembled with fear as they looked at the silver spear that had sliced only a few centimeters across their faces.

The sound of the wind breaking in a few seconds left an indelible shadow on them almost for the rest of their lives.

And the demon hunters who saw this scene also became vigilant.

They quickly drew their weapons hidden at their sides, and stared at the demon lying to the ground in front of them.

At the same time, Claudia's gaze shifted backwards with the lance's trajectory.

Suddenly, there was a crisp and abrupt burst of applause from the sky behind her.

Smack-smack-smack-

As the applause rang out, she turned her head back and looked at the source of the sound.

But just by looking at it like this, her eyes gradually became sluggish.

The other nobles also heard this applause.

And when they also raised their heads to look at the sky, they were also like Claudia, slightly sluggish.

Because the one who appeared in the sky was no one else.

It was Lipoot.

At this moment, with that kind smile, he was stepping on the golden staircase that emerged from the sky.

While clapping, he slowly walked towards the ground.

That...... That's Lipoot?

Isn't he a businessman, how can he walk in heaven?

It's just that before everyone could react, Lipoot's golden eyes were already locked on Claudia:

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with educating children, but domestic violence ...... Is it inappropriate? ”

His light steps landed on the ground, looking to the side and dying. The minotaur demon with a pleading look in his eyes shook his head pityingly.

"What a poor child, beaten like this by his biological mother."

With a slight wave of Lipoot's hand, the spear that pierced through the bull's jaws was mysteriously withdrawn.

Oweiser, who was finally able to speak, hurriedly shouted to him:

"Uncle...... Uncle! You've come to my rescue! ”

"Of course."

Lipoot smiled and nodded, and said:

"You're still valuable, after all."

Oweyser nodded frantically, extremely eager:

"Uncle, quick, save me from ......"

Puff——!!!

Before he could finish speaking, a silver spear suddenly pierced through the golden countercurrent repulsion.

A silver streak of light appeared in the air, piercing Oweth's flesh-fleshed bull's head.

At that moment, the entire courtyard fell into a deathly silence.

Oweyser's bright red eyes froze for a moment.

A dark gloom climbed into his eyes, gradually obscuring his bright light.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, the huge bull's head fell heavily to the ground, causing dust to fly.

At this moment, everyone on the scene fell silent.

Even Lipoot, who had been smiling, stood stiffly in place, as if his whole person had been frozen.

"Your Majesty, you said that family affairs should be settled by the family themselves, and I promised you."

"But it's not your family business anymore, so-"

With a cold voice slowly sounding, a gentle footstep came from not far away.

Suddenly, all eyes were on Victor.

They saw Victor raising a hand.

The pale blue magical light in his hand was gradually dissipating from his palm.

Finally, he put his hands in his pockets.

Under the eyes of everyone, he walked casually to the demon who had fallen into gloom.

At the same time, Victor's condensed gaze was on Lipoot.

The cold voice like a wind and snow rippled in everyone's ears:

"Can I hit someone?"
