Chapter 498-Prince Leon

Chapter 498-Prince Leon

Dave had talked with Xegron throughout the whole night, and Xegron recounted everything he had experienced during the time he was away from Dave.

Dave was delighted for Xegron; with such a powerful subordinate by his side, the tasks ahead seemed less daunting.

Xegron was a killing machine, forged by death energy blended with his blood.

He could continue to grow stronger by killing and devouring enemies, and he also possessed some skills of his Sin of Gluttony.

As they conversed, Dave sensed something in the castle, and with his extraordinary senses, he learned what was happening in an instant.

"Ho! An arrogant young master who wanted to court a woman but failed to capture the heart of the beauty,"

Dave remarked. "Then someone will challenge the young master, and when the father of the young master intervenes, the challenger will defeat him. The cycle continues with the grandfather, great-grandfather, and so on until even the ancestor appears to seek revenge for the young master. All of them have a similar line when they appear: 'Courting death!'"

Dave chuckled at the predictable scenario unfolding. "Hehehe."

Dave laughed, his expression resembling that of a crazy person, and even Xegron was puzzled by his demeanor, though he already knew what was happening in the castle.

"Master, should we kill that guy? He is the son of our target," Xegron asked, trying to bring Dave back from his strange thoughts.

Dave looked at Xegron with a smile and replied, "Yeah! Yeah! We will kill him eventually, but first, we will humiliate them and feel despair, hahaha!"

Dave's behavior seemed unrestrained, and his mind was filled with evil thoughts at times, but he never let himself be consumed by them and managed to maintain control over his state of mind.

"Let's go!" Dave waved his hands, and both of them disappeared from the room.

.......

30 minutes before Dave's departure, a handsome, 6-foot-tall, skinny man with a pale complexion appeared in front of Muller.

He wore royal attire and was accompanied by five individuals dressed in dark clothes, each emanating strong power at the Transcendental Being level.

Near Muller stood Princess Naga, her gaze fixed on the man with intense hatred, as if her stare could kill him.

"Hehe, Naga my beloved, you should accept my proposal. You've declined me five times already, and I bet you wouldn't like it if I got angry," the Prince of the Metal Empire, named Leon, spoke calmly, showing no fear in the presence of Emperor Muller, who stood at the same level as his father.

Leon's arrogance stemmed from the power of the five subordinates beside him, whose combined strength could restrain an Emperor at Muller's level in battle.

He also knew they lacked the courage to attack him, given their dire situation.

Initially stunned to see Muller seemingly unaffected by illness, Leon sneered inwardly, dismissing their facade of strength.

"Oh, Leon, do you think the five individuals before you make you arrogant on my turf?"

Muller, who had remained silent since Leon's arrival, suddenly spoke, showing no concern for the threat posed by the five individuals.

If it were before, Muller might have been restrained by the five individuals, but Dave had given him a cultivation technique, and he knew that the Holy Son was present, so there was no need to be afraid.

Muller's power had also risen to another level after being blessed by the Lord of Chaos, and he was on the brink of a breakthrough, nearing comprehension of a new soul flower.

Leon was stunned; he hadn't expected Muller to dare to be arrogant despite his current weakness. Muller's confidence seemed to unsettle him.

Removing his restraint, Leon sneered, "Oh, Muller, do you want my father to act personally and kill all your family members? I will ask Father to let you witness how I push Naga under my crotch, and you will watch as I destroy her, hahaha!"

Leon's goal was to probe the Lightning Empire, and he believed he could escape if Muller attacked him, given that his father had provided him with a treasure.

Thus, he was not afraid to continue provoking them, even though he was in their territory.

The mission was dangerous, and even his father did not want him to do it, but Leon insisted, wanting to show that he had capabilities as a prince.

"Naga, calm down," the voice of the sword spirit advised her to stay composed and not act rashly.

Though Naga was angry hearing Leon's words, she refrained from acting impulsively as the sword spirit warned her.

Instead, she looked at her father, who was observing Leon with a cold smile, and Leon sensed that something was amiss.

"Stand back, my Lord," one of Leon's subordinates urged, pulling him away just as a lightning attack struck Leon's previous location with a resounding boom.

Muller waved his hands, conjuring a sword made of lightning energy aimed at Leon.

Leon was shocked, realizing the immense strength of a man who had ruled the Empire for thousands of years.

Muller appeared not to have weakened, but rather to have grown more energized and powerful than before.

"How dare you!"

The five guards rushed at Muller, intending to attack him, realizing they had miscalculated this time.

Previously, when they had humiliated them, they hadn't dared to attack, only cursing them inwardly.

However, today's situation seemed bizarre: the soldiers and the people appeared unworried by their presence, and Muller, who should have been on his deathbed, was still strong and appeared to have achieved a breakthrough.

Boom!

The five guards activated their formation, the 5-man Iron Guard Formation, designed to defend against a Transcendental being with 45 Soul Flowers.

"Hmm, you think such a petty formation can stop me? No one can escape here,"

Muller sneered, his voice dripping with confidence as he chanted, "Chaos Strike!"

A lightning attack, infused with chaos energy, erupted from Muller's hands, consuming a fraction of his energy.

Determined to halt their havoc in his empire, Muller unleashed his power.
