" Storm Slash!"

Ophelia stood still, and a green light condensed on the blade of her sword. As she swung her sword forward, three gust blades shot forward along the ground for tens of meters, only to be blocked by the black-robed man's magic shield.

Storm Slash, one of the secret techniques of the Asman Kingdom's royal family, was not a technique that Ophelia had been practicing for long, so its power wasn't that great. However, it was very effective for clearing trap magic hidden on the ground.

Just as Ophelia was about to continue approaching the black-robed man, the appearance of a figure made her startled. Her pupils unconsciously dilated, as she could hardly believe what she was seeing.

"Kervi, why are you here?!" Ophelia's mind began to speculate, and her voice trembled as she asked with a deep tone.

"Oh, my silly sister! Your presence here is all thanks to me. Why do you think I am here?" Kervi replied with a sinister smile.

"Why? What are you doing this for?" Ophelia roared. She couldn't believe that someone who had been so kind in her childhood would become so cruel.

"Why? Don't you understand?" Kervi's face twisted into a cruel grin as he said, "But it doesn't matter now. After tonight, all my troubles will be gone!"

"Kervi, you..."

"Hush! It's showtime. Just watch." Kervi took a step back, and a dazzling magic circle appeared beneath the black-robed man in front of him.

"The show officially begins!"

As Kervi's voice fell, all the magic circles started to shrink into the black-robed man's body, and a pair of arms suddenly burst out from his chest.

"Psst!" The black-robed man was torn open from his chest, and amidst the sea of blood mist, a black figure slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

A beast-like black monster, with sharp fangs, black skin, slender limbs, joints covered in bone spurs, and bloodthirsty desires in its reddish pupils.

"This is...!?" Ophelia, upon seeing this black creature, seemed to recall something. She suddenly remembered the books she had read before, and the creature before her eyes was none other than the Abyss Demon "Yasha" that had once plagued the continent.

"Kervi, do you dare to summon an Abyss Demon? Are you going against the entire continent?" Ophelia exclaimed.

"Hahaha! My foolish sister, why worry about so much when you're going to die? You won't even see tomorrow's sun," Kervi laughed.

"Kill everyone except her!" Kervi ordered the Yasha.

"Roar!" The Yasha was not an unintelligent creature. As an Abyss Demon, how could it listen to the commands of a human? However, when Kervi brought out a black staff adorned with a silver diamond, the Yasha suddenly became obedient.

"Kill them all!"

This time, Kervi's order was carried out. The Yasha's long limbs abruptly left the ground and leaped dozens of meters away in an instant, appearing before Ophelia.

"Bang!" Ophelia was sent flying more than twenty meters back, heavily crashing into a wall. Blood gushed out of her mouth, and her hand gripping the sword was now a mess of flesh and blood.

"Princess!" The surrounding officers immediately prepared to surround her, but they were entangled by the Yasha once again.

Although the Yasha was just a soldier-like existence among the Abyss Demons, its strength far surpassed that of ordinary high-level professionals. Even slightly stronger high-level professionals would find it difficult to deal with. This Yasha, though not amongst the highest-ranked, was still highly formidable. Its tough skin, sharp claws, and bone spurs were all deadly weapons, and they were also coated with a special toxin. Once infected by this toxin, one would slowly turn into a dark zombie, just like the monster Ophelia had seen before—the half-masked figure.

"Damn it!?" Ophelia struggled to get up, watching the officers being suppressed by the Yasha. She couldn't help but regret her impulsiveness. However, at that moment, a middle-aged man in a white cloak walked in, and Ophelia couldn't help but feel joyous when she saw him.

"Uncle Poster!" Ophelia thought that maybe Poster had received their signal and came to their aid. She immediately called out with joy and sought his help, "Uncle Poster, hurry and stop Kervi. He has summoned an Abyss Demon!"

"Don't worry, I'm here!" Post said with a smile as he turned around. At this moment, the officer had already been defeated by the Yaksha, who had a ferocious face and a piece of severed limb in its mouth.

"Rely on you, Uncle Post!" Ophelia knew that Post was extremely powerful, with tremendous strength. He had also been bestowed with the title of "Magic Four Sages" by the Elementalists Guild, making him the most likely Elemental Master to reach the rank of King after his ancestor Tutankhamun. With him around, dealing with an upper-level Yaksha would definitely be no problem.

"Dark Lock!"

Several chains of black magic suddenly entangled Ophelia, binding her up. Ophelia looked at Post in confusion and asked, "Uncle Post, what...?"

"You're such a silly girl, don't you understand yet?" Post's mouth curled up with a hint of mocking smile.

"You're in cahoots with Kolt!" Ophelia finally understood.

"Aren't you afraid of the kingdom's retaliation?"

"Retaliation?!" Post reached out and grabbed Ophelia's face, laughing, "Hahaha! It'll be great if I turn the kingdom into mine."

"You dare to rebel?!" Ophelia was startled by Post's words. She never expected that Post would have such thoughts of rebellion.

"Father, you're here!" At this moment, Kolt walked over. His words alarmed Ophelia even more.

"What did you call him? Kervy?"

"Sister... no, I should call you cousin!"

"How is that possible?!"

"In the past, Ser and I went on an adventure on the mainland. We met your mother, Fina. She was an angel in my life, so beautiful and pure. Both of us fell in love with her at the same time..." Post's face showed an incomparably nostalgic expression, but immediately turned ferocious again.

"But your father, Ser, deceived me. He promised to let go as long as I gave up the throne. But after he sat on the throne, he used his power to take Fina away from me!"

Post viciously pinched Ophelia's neck, treating her as if she were his father.

"Do you know? When Fina left me in tears, how much pain my heart was in. That was the first and last time I shed tears in my life."

"Later, when Fina told me she was pregnant with my child, you have no idea how excited I was. So, I began to study magic diligently, hoping that once I became powerful enough to intimidate the kingdom, I could openly and honestly take Fina back. But..."

"But Kervy's situation was exposed. Your father actually killed Fina. Your father is simply an animal, a demon. He took away all my hope and light, plunging me into endless darkness!"
