Chapter 71: Introduction


    The streets of Josenheim were filled with dazzling lights, and the guests from various academies and institutions began appearing with a superior and prideful expression stered on their faces. To themon people, these were the elites, the people who were a step above them in the socialdder. Each of them were top existences in the country of Argria, with prestigious statuses next to their names. As such, it was obvious that these so called ''elites'' would be extremely prideful of their positions.


    More and more people started appearing, and the crowd slowly began moving towards the altar, where the ceremony was set to take ce.


    "Look, the Royal Carriage has arrived!"


    Right at this moment, someone suddenly cried out in joy, causing the people to turn around in the direction where the voice came from, and spotted a beautiful and luxurious carriage that was moving towards the altar, and with that, a storm of discussion was brought to the crowd.


    "The Prince is here!"


    "Oh my god! The new king is finally here! I can''t wait to see his face."


    "I just hope that the new king is better than you know?"


    The arrival of the Royal carriage immediately attracted everyone''s attention. The majority of the people had an extremely negative opinion about King Hannibal and Queen Isabelle. So in the public''s minds, Prince ke Bancroft was already the new ruler of Argria, even before his coronation ceremony. They had already epted him as their new king.


    The carriage moved forward, towards the altar, and everyone moved out of the way, opening up space for the carriage to pass through.


    ck!


    The carriage came to a stop as it reached the altar, and the doors slowly opened as a young man exited the vehicle.


    This man had a pair of bright blue eyes, exuding a prestigious aura from the moment he stepped outside and onto the altar.


    This was of course, Prince - and soon to be King - ke Bancroft!


    No person was able to move their eyes away from the young man on the altar. The Prince gently raised his head and nced at the crowd, and with a smile on his face, he said, "Greetings, my fellow citizens. I am ke Bancroft!"


    ***********************


    It was a fierce fight between the Second Elder and Commander Rivaldo Dante and the Third Elder, but the Second Elder just couldn''t defeat the powerful duo.


    The death of the Headmaster had also impacted his mindset, which created a negative impact on the Second Elder''sbat strength.


    Bam, bam, bam!


    Waves of sword lights shed through the air, as dirt and debris repeatedly blew out due to the impact of the collisions.


    "Don''t get in my way!!!" The Second Elder, who was now extremely furious, shouted out as hepletely unleashed his aura, and struck out with a palm strike, aiming for Commander Rivaldo Dante.


    "That''s not going to be enough to stop me, Second Elder!" Commander Rivaldo Dante said in an insidious tone.


    Whoosh!


    As the palm strike was quickly approaching, a bright light flickered within the Commander''s palm as a dazzling and mystical sword appeared out of thin air. Even a normal person, who wasn''t proficient in martial arts and cultivation could see that the Commander was holding a marvelous sword.


    Buzz


    The sword began shaking violently, producing a deafening noise as a scarlet energy began emitting out of its body. The aura it was emitting was eerily simr to the killing aura of a cultivator, which made the sword look like it was alive, thirsting for blood.


    "Second Elder, I have to acknowledge your skills. You truly are exceptional..."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Commander Rivaldo Dante strode forward with the mysterious sword ced in his hand, and swung it.


    BAM!


    A ground-shaking explosive sound spread across dozens of miles, followed by a terrifying scarlett colored light beam shot forward, instantly colliding with the Second Elder''s palm strike!


    BOOM!


    A humongous amount of sparks burst out from the spot where the two attacks had collided, igniting the sky in mes.


    ".... But you see, I''m not that bad of a cultivator either!" Commander Rivaldo Dante said with an evil smile, and with a sway of his body, he simply vanished into thin air.


    Where''d he go?


    The Second Elder was startled. But he didn''t have time to think, as he was immediately met with the attack of the Third Elder!


    "You shouldn''t ignore me, Second Elder"


    The Third Elder spoke in a cold manner as his body shed, and he charged towards the Second Elder, with bright de lights shooting out from his sword in his direction, instantly ripping apart the skies as it did so.


    "Don''t you dare think that you can defeat me!! You''ll pay for murdering the Headmaster!!"


    The Second Elder roared out and immediately unleashed his own de lights, as he tried blocking the Third Elder''s attack.


    BAM!


    The two attacks instantly collided, producing a loud explosive sound that rang out in everyone''s mind. Both the Elders were pushed back multiple steps, bit before the Second Elder could readjust his body, he was immediately met with another attack!


    "Don''t forget about me! Take this!"


    Right above the Second Elder, appeared Commander Rivaldo Dante, as all of a sudden, a dark energy wave surged out from his hands and shot downwards at full speed, transforming into a long beam of darkness, aiming for the Second Elder.


    "What?!"


    A startled expression instantly emerged onto the Second Elder''s face as he tilted his head upwards. However, it was toote for him to do anything.


    Boom!


    The Second Elder was critically hit by the beam of darkness, forcing a mouthful of blood to exit his mouth. He had been caught off guard, and he couldn''t defend against it, letting out a miserable shriek as one of his arms were burnt to a crisp. He had hastily tried to defend against the surprise attack, but there just wasn''t enough time.


    "Don''t lose just yet, Second Elder. After all, you still haven''t received my attack!"The Third Elder shouted out loudly, as a fiery light and bursting mes sted out from his sword, causing the temperature of the surroundings to rise.


    "THIRD ELDER!! YOU SCOUNDREL!!!"


    The Second Elder roared loudly, as if he was a crazy person. He was in a helpless condition now, with his mouth spurting out blood, but right now he was bursting with spiritual energy.


    WHAM!


    As the Second Elder yelled out, his palm began illuminating a bright golden light, and all of a sudden, waves of golden sword beams escaped from his hands, leaving behind a trail of light.


    Bang!


    The bursting mes shed with the Second Elder''s golden sword beams, resulting in a tremendous explosion that shook the entire area.


    Whoosh!


    Although the golden beam light was a powerful attack, the Second Elder was simply too weak to raise the technique to its maximum power, and as a result, he was flung back once again by the impact of the devastating force of the collision.


    "You had your fun, Third Elder But I believe it''s finally time to end it. I''ll do the honors!"


    Whoosh!


    From the smoke filled clouds that had been formed due to the devastating collision of the Second and Third Elder''s attacks, Commander Rivaldo Dante shot out and moved towards the Second Elder at lightning speed.


    Within less than a second, the Commander had already arrived right in front of the Second Elder, who had barely any time to register what just happened.


    "Second Elder, your end has arrived."


    The vibration in the atmosphere was caused by the trembling sword in his hands, emitting a strong killing aura, as he swung the sword. As the sword moved, the spiritual energy surrounding the sword began behaving more and more violently, as if the sword was lusting for blood.


    The Second Elder could feel the threatening feeling of death that was fast approaching. He wanted to dodge. He wanted to evade. But he was drained of energy, and he was injured.


    Puchi!


    "Aargh!!"


    The sword in themander''s hand pierced through the Second Elder''s chest, and he groaned in pain with all his might.


    Splurt!


    Blood began spurting out continuously like a blood fountain, and his face turned very pale as he slowly began to fall from the sky.


    "Y-you.. you''ll never !!"


    Before the Second Elder could finish his words, blood was forced out of his mouth and cut him off as Commander Rivaldo Dante pushed the sword further into his chest, twisting it slowly before pulling it out.


    The Second Elder sensed the light in his eyes gradually fading away. In his despair, his gaze turned towards the ground, where ude and Wilfred Beldon were sitting. His gaze lingered on the two of them until the light in his eyespletely faded away, and his lifeless corpse fell to the ground.


    The fight was finally over, and it was followed by silence.


    The Third Elder moved towards Commander Rivaldo Dante, who was gasping for air. He had utilised a lot of spiritual energy to use that sword technique, and it had paid off.


    "Finally, it hase to an end!"
