CHAPTER 62

Shushu walked towards Rio. In the middle of her way, she was backed by an exhausted Ogre sitting down. Shushu took out a Scythe and flicked it at the Ogre, making the Ogre chop into pieces. "Useless bugs", Shushu muttered, looking at the Ogre's dismembered body.

"Hah! Too bad the 10,000 gold pieces just disappeared," Emilio thought.

The nobles who saw Shushu chop up the Ogre monster with just one slash made them cringe. Some women and even men vomited their guts out of disgust with the splattered blood and monster pieces. Dovalt and Jas also did not escape the disgust he saw in front of him.

Shushu was now standing in front of Rio. They stared at each other. Shushu glared at Rio. Rio whistled teasingly, seeing Shushu's appearance up close. How dare Rio do that in front of Shushu because Rio hasn't felt the Shushu aura which Gabby still seals while Shushu plays like a weak girl and doesn't know anything.

Rio thought that Shushu was a Knight. If she were an elemental magician, surely Rio would feel her aura, at least a little, just as Gabby had expected. Even though Rio possessed the Four Elements, he was an Arch Heretic.

Arch Heretics are humans who have sold their souls to dark essences, be they demons or their allies if a human who doesn't sell his soul to dark essence but studies black magic is called a Sorcerer.

When a Sorcerer has broken through to Tier 5, he will become a Tier 1 Arch Heretic. For a Sorcerer, to break through Tier 5 is not easy because they have to perform rituals with very extreme sacrifices. Usually, a Sorcerer would stop when he reached Tier 4 and had no intention of breaking through to the Heretic Arch because of the conditions for entering a Tier 5 Sorcerer beforehand. The strength of a tier 4 Sorcerer was on par with a tier 1 Grandmage.

Rio looked at the weapon Shushu used with sparkling eyes. "Hey, is that an Artifact?" Rio asked. Shushu ignored Rio. Rio cleared his throat. "Ehem, a knight like you is not suitable to use that elemental Scythe. Just give it to me," Rio asked kindly.

Rio approached Shushu casually. The Bride Killer group behind Rio chuckled and saw Shushu not resisting at all. Rio is now one step in front of Shushu. Rio's tall body makes people who meet him have to look up.

Shushu was still looking down as if staring at something lower than her. Rio smirked, seeing Shushu as if looking down resignedly in front of him. He moved his hand to touch Shushu's chin to raise her head. Not yet had Rio's skin come into contact with Shushu's skin.

Tick… ​​Gabby snapped her fingers.

Immediately Rio sat down in front of Shushu because he was not strong with Shushu's dark aura that continued to overflow. The whole room was shocked to see the Leader of the Bride Killer sitting, looking like he was prostrating himself in front of Shushu.

Those who get the barrier from Gabby don't feel the dark Aura at all. In contrast to those who do not get a barrier from Gabby. Those who didn't get the Barrier from Gabby, the nobles or the Bride Killer were kneeling on the floor in pain from feeling the immense dark Aura.

"W-who are y-you?" asked Rio, stammering. He was still kneeling in front of Shushu, unable to stand up. Shushu's turn to grin at Rio, making Rio shudder in horror. "H-how could that be" Rio stammered.

Shushu's right hand holding the Scythe, waved an attack at Rio and the Bride Killer Group behind Rio. They couldn't scream because they were enduring the pain from the dark aura that they felt weakened them.

Shuttt…

The slash that Shushu gave made their bodies chopped into pieces, not satisfied that Shushu just chopped them up. Shushu wanted to make them completely disappear. Shushu took out a black Ball from his palm the size of a marble. A tremendous power came out as soon as Shushu cracked his hand destroying anything in front of Shushu.

Duarr…

The corpses of both Rio and the Bride Killer Group vanished, leaving the shards of stone that had flown apart due to the explosion. Destroyed parts of the Palace's courtyard and buildings in several cities were destroyed, leaving craters left by the Shushu attack. Those who were only humans were shocked to see Shushu's formidable power.

There was a moment of silence in the palace. Gabby sighed, shaking her head. "Sorry, Jas, it looks like you have to wait for the repair of this building if you want to open a magic academy," said Gabby turning to Jas.

Jas, initially silent, looked at Shushu and jumped in surprise when he heard Gabby speak to him. "Y-yes, Your Majesty. It's okay," Jas stuttered.

"Sir Dovalt, it seems like what I said earlier. We will be busy renovating some parts of this city," said Gabby, turning to Dovalt. Dovalt just kept silent, and he nodded his head, a little scared.

"So what are we going to do with them?" asked a Noble who got a Barrier from Gabby, pointing to a Noble who had fainted due to Shushu's dark Aura.

"I'll take care of them later," said Gabby.

Prok... prok...

Gabby clapped her hands, calling out to some Soldiers. "Hold them for a while," Gabby ordered her Soldier.

"Did you see that? Miss Shushu is literally chopping them up here."

"It's terrible, why did they even faint earlier. Though I wish they watched their mercenaries die in front of them."

"You know, Miss Shushu is only Lady Gabby's Lady but has such strong power" "Lady? Grand Duchess Shushu as Queen Gabby's lady-in-waiting?"

"If the lady-in-waiting has that kind of power, what about Queen Gabby?"

"Don't ask me. We better not disobey her."

"I wonder what they will get once they wake up later."

"I think the death penalty. They have dared to hire mercenaries to try to kill Queen Gabby."

"It deserves them."

The Ballroom was silent for a moment. I could hear only the whispers of the nobles left in the room.
