Kill Them All

"Fine, fine. Next time you're this late, you can come see me with your head."

The young King waved his hand dismissively, glancing at the panicked dancers hiding in the corner. A hint of disdain crossed his face; sometimes, a flashy but impractical vase is even less valuable than some broken-down machinery.

"The music continues, the dance continues."

The young King sat relaxed on the golden silk bed, beckoning towards the dancers. He was in high spirits after the assassination attempt failed, and he was determined to teach that Family a lesson tomorrow.

With the crisis averted, the dancers regained their composure from their panic. Dozens of servants hurriedly cleaned up the remnants of the fight on the ground, while the Kingdom Guards hastily lifted the Mechanical Magic Puppets from the ground, preparing to imprison them in the underground prison for interrogation.

"Sigh~ This version of the Mechanical Magic Puppet is still too awful."

A sudden sound came from the window, and the Court Mage Moria's expression changed drastically. The other party had been hiding for so long without him noticing.

"Another assassin? Looks like we can spare their lives this time."

The young King watched with great interest as the man descended from the window. They were currently accompanied by hundreds of the Kingdom guards, the Court Mage Moria, and the King himself, a genius skilled in both magic and martial arts.

"My lord... we did our best."

The captain of the Mechanical Assassination Unit, whose limbs had already been severed, spoke in a low voice, his tone extremely dejected. He hadn't expected that his master would personally appear here after the failure of their first mission, and that their disgraceful failure had been witnessed by everyone.

Shame, guilt, disappointment, frustration... the captain of the Mechanical Assassination Unit was overwhelmed by these negative emotions; he had failed his Family's expectations of him.

Li Yan ignored the words of the Mechanical Assassination Unit captain and walked straight to the young King sitting on the golden silk bed. "I always thought that my Family and the Royal Family still had at least a trace of kinship, a trace of blood relation. My descendants all have a trace of the Royal Family blood. Why did you send people to assassinate my relatives?"

The indifferent words rang out sharply in the room. The dancers, having already noticed the atmosphere, scurried back to their corners, and the cleaning servants followed suit. Only the Kingdom's guards surrounded Li Yan.

"Huh? Who are you? Claiming Royal Family blood? Are you kidding me?"

The young King chuckled dismissively. This guy looks so young, and he has descendants? Does he really think he's a three-year-old?

"You... you... you are that person!"

The Court Mage Moria's fingers trembled, his eyes widened like bull's eyes, and his legs trembled slightly. For decades, he had admired and envied his idol in his youth, the lover of the greatest mage in human history, the Noble Li Yan, who was skilled in both magic and martial arts and could slay ten thousand demons single-handedly.

"You know Moria?"

The young King squinted at Li Yan, his disdain for the level 30+ Mana fluctuations emanating from Li Yan. However, Moria's attitude made him perk up, and he gently placed his hand on the longsword.

"King Majesty... he's still alive... he's the one who single-handedly..."

Moria was about to reveal Li Yan's identity, but Li Yan, already feeling the sorrow, had no desire to continue the conversation. She never expected that her powerful and wise uncle, the King, would have such an arrogant, proud, and foolish descendant.

The Holy Sword was already in Li Yan's hand. It was a cold night, a night for murder.

Moria's Mana power of over seventy levels was nothing more than a casual sword strike in front of Li Yan. Stone walls, sand walls, earthen arms, and triple defenses could not withstand Li Yan's instantaneous teleportation behind him and a single sword strike.

"Excuse me, but I practice Space Magic, and you're only defending the front to save Mana? Are you underestimating me?"

Li Yan's light words struck Moria like a bolt from the blue. If he were still alive, he would definitely use the loudest voice of his life to explain himself: he hadn't conserved his Mana; he had already used all his Mana to defend himself from the front. Who could have imagined that you would attack him from behind?

Li Yan's teleportation caused the young King's expression to change drastically. Kingdom Guards and arrived directly in front of him, instantly killing the Court Mage Moria without expending any effort.

Who exactly are you?

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the young King drew his longsword from his waist, his expression turning somewhat solemn.

Who am I?

Li Yan glanced indifferently at the young King, a mocking smile playing on her lips, "I'll kill your men! And your whole family! I'll shake the eggs to pieces!"

"Protect His Majesty the King!"

The Kingdom Guards had already reacted. Seeing Li Yan preparing to attack the young King, they all raised their weapons and stabbed at Li Yan.

"Hmph, you ants!"

Li Yan, expressionless, swung his sword at the Kingdom Guards. The brilliance of the Holy Sword instantly illuminated the entire Royal Capital. With just one strike, hundreds of Kingdom Guards lost their heads, and the wall was completely cleaved in two.

The young King stared in disbelief; even he, at his best, could not achieve what Li Yan done.

"Um... can we talk? I think the assassination is definitely a misunderstanding, involving the machinations of other Nobles. I'm innocent."

The young King was sweating profusely, rambling on and on about random things, even revealing the color of his underwear from the previous day.

"If you are so afraid of death, why assassinate the children of the Family Lionheart Earl?"

"If it were a fair and square attack, perhaps I wouldn't make a move, but you've attacked my child, my granddaughter, so I'm sorry, I'll personally come and kill your entire family!"

Li Yan indifferently raised the Holy Sword and placed it against the young King's neck. The young King continued to beg for mercy, not daring to resist. But the majesty of that sword had completely extinguished his will to fight. That was no opponent that humans could defeat. How could anyone casually swing a sword and kill hundreds of elite Royal Capital guards, and even see the slash mark in the night sky that had already cleaved the sky in two?

"I was so wrong, please forgive me. I was truly bewitched. It was those Noble Earls who threatened me, those treacherous fellows. They were the ones who sent the assassins."

In his struggle for survival, the young King begged for mercy, uttering servile words that betrayed all Royal Family bearing and revealed only a servile demeanor driven by the need to survive.

"Boring!"

Li Yan lowered the Holy Sword from the young King's neck. He had thought the young king was a worthy opponent, but it turned out to be a cowardly rat.

"Thank you, sir. I will certainly kill all those cunning Nobles and bring those despicable people who assassinated your granddaughter to justice."

With the threat of death removed from his neck, the young King was moved to tears. At that moment, he could no longer control his faucet, and the filthy holy water stained the blood-soaked ground.

"Pfft..."

The Little Fool covered his mouth and chuckled as several giant swords, constructed of Mana, pierced the young King's heart... The King did not die by human swords, but by Demons...

That night, the entire Royal Capital felt the terror of the Demons. The King died in the palace, all the Kingdom Guards present perished tragically, and the Royal Family was completely wiped out. A masked little horned Demons girl and a mysterious person in a black cloak disappeared into the night sky in full view of everyone.
