Becoming King (Final)

Not long after Sage Dragon entered the Magic Council, sounds of fighting came from inside.

Hearing the thunderous explosions, one of the officers left behind cautiously asked, "Sir, the fighting inside is so intense, should we go in and provide reinforcements?"

Old Suo shook his head and said, "Belserion can handle those useless guys inside by himself. There's no need to send reinforcements. We just need to guard the outer perimeter!"

"Yes, I understand!"

After speaking, the officer bowed and stepped aside, then sent someone to re-check the encirclement.

Shortly after the officer stepped down, about ten explosions occurred on the roof of the Magic Council building. Immediately afterwards, six men and four women, ten figures, rushed out through the holes in the roof.

Looking at the ten people with tattered clothes and pale faces, Old Suo muttered to himself, "The Chairman and nine councilors? It seems I went too far; they actually survived!"

Just as Sordil was regretting his soft-heartedness, an old man with a white beard on the roof shouted in Sordil's direction, "Has Red Townrus gone mad? How dare he order you to attack the Magic Council? Doesn't he fear...?"

"Whoosh"

"Boom"

Because Old Suo was pressed for time, and because the old man's arrogant tone had angered King Sordil, he preemptively struck again before the Old Suo could finish speaking!

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art Technique - Dance of the Underworld Weapons - Giant Sword Disc"

"Whoosh whoosh"

After creating a smokescreen with small explosions, Old Suo immediately unleashed his ultimate move, preparing for a swift victory.

"Hmph! You rude brat, let me teach you a lesson!"

After he finished speaking, Milligan right foot on the roof, and then, like a swordfish, Counter Charge Old Suo through the gap between the Juque Sword.

At the same time, the other nine people launched a counterattack in the same way. But the moment they rushed into the gap, the omnipresent Demonic Barrier Particles caused them to lose control of their bodies and then crash straight to the ground.

As they crashed into the ground, Juque Sword, under Old Suo's control, were driven into their limbs, turning them into ten living specimens.

To avoid repeating the same mistake, Sordil inserted several more 'anesthetic needles' into the ten live targets.

"Nether Lightning Dragon's Stab"

"Whoosh whoosh"

Several long black needles, flashing with bright yellow electricity, streaked through the air at near-sonic speeds before piercing the bodies of Milligan and the other ten men.

"Ugh!"

"Ahh!"

With a violent convulsion and foaming at the mouth, the ten live specimens were completely turned into specimens. (Yes, those ten people are dead!)

"Holy crap! These guys are so physically weak, they can't even withstand this little bit of attack?"

After criticizing Milligan and the others' physical abilities, Sordil suddenly realized that his attack was not quite what he had expected.

"Um?"

"Although the Demonic Barrier Particles can cause great damage to mages, they won't kill them directly. Besides, the color of this ball of Demonic Barrier Particles seems a bit off!"

After a thorough investigation, Sordil finally found the culprit who had killed the Chairman and others.

"Huh? This wisp of black energy... could it be part of that black energy sphere that separated from the ' Contradiction '?"

Gazing at the black energy threads moving within the long needle, Sordil realized he hadn't yet checked the whereabouts of the black energy sphere. He quickly began investigating the interior of the Source of Beginninglessness. A moment later, he indeed found the black energy next to the power of the Ghost Dragon.

"The Dragon Force has actually fused with it?"

As the black and gray energies gradually merged, Sordil's brows furrowed slightly.

After a moment of racking his brains without finding a solution, Old Suo shook his head and then laughed, "Forget it! There's plenty of time later anyway, let's talk about it then!"

After speaking, Old Suo slowly retreated to his original position, while gesturing to the body collection team to clean up the scene.

Not long after Old Suo finished his work, Sage Dragon and the prisoner transport team also finished cleaning up and came to meet Old Suo.

After finishing up, Sordil led his large entourage and various prisoners toward the palace.

When they returned to the palace, the receiving personnel arranged by Irene were already waiting for them. Sordil immediately handed over the prisoners to them and ordered the transferred troops to return to their original positions. After doing this, Old Suo, along with Sage Dragon, went to meet with Red and the others to discuss the enthronement ceremony.

On July 21, X765, Charlie Tonlus, the current prime minister of the Bosco Kingdom, issued a proclamation to the entire nation in conjunction with all the nobles. Immediately afterward, news of the king's attack and death by unknown assailants spread throughout the kingdom. Before the people could even grieve for their king's passing, more devastating news arrived in quick succession.

First, the palace was attacked at the same time the king was assassinated, and most of the royal family members perished, with only Princess Harris escaping unharmed.

Before Princess Harris could even catch her breath at the Magic Council, the villains caught up with Magic Council and launched a brutal attack. By the time the kingdom's army arrived, all members of the Magic Council and Princess Harris had been killed, and the murderers had already escaped.

As one giant stone after another was thrown into the hearts of the people, wave after wave of panic spread from the Bosco Kingdom to the entire Ishgar.

On July 23, in an effort to stabilize the situation, the Prime Minister and others held a general assembly of all nobles in Philiers.

After a unanimous vote by all the nobles, it was decided that the king's distant cousin Sordil Ornn, would inherit the throne, and the coronation ceremony would be held on July 25.

Time flies like water, and in the blink of an eye, two pages were torn off the calendar on the wall, bringing us to the day of the new king's coronation.

Although the king, the royal family, and the Magic Council destroyed, the ordinary people of Philiers were largely unaffected. Coupled with the collective support of the nobles, Philiers remained vibrant that day, celebrating the arrival of the new king with great fanfare. (Old Suo had peacefully taken over the Bosco Kingdom, so the coronation ceremony was still very grand, no less so than that of a king who ascends the throne normally.)

As the new king and Queen, Old Suo and Irene rode in a magnificent open carriage, protected by the royal guard, and paraded around Philiers.

After being showered with flower petals and cheered by the crowd, the royal guards escorted Sordil and his companion back to the palace for their coronation.

Royal Palace, Council Hall

The moment Sordil and his companion entered the hall, solemn, somber music began to play, and immediately all the nobles in the hall turned their gazes toward the two of them.

Under the scrutiny of the crowd, Sordil and his companion walked hand in hand down the red carpet, stepping to the rhythm of the music, and slowly made their way to the throne standing on the high platform in front of them.

Although Old Suo was a roughneck and inexperienced in such matters, under the tutelage of his wife and Red, he was quite familiar with the etiquette of the ceremony. At least for now, he behaved well and didn't embarrass his two teachers. Otherwise, Her Majesty Irene's iron washboard, which she had just bought yesterday, would probably be painted red tonight! (Hehe! Anyone else as excited as I am for Old Suo to paint the washboard red?)

Five minutes later, the music came to an end, and Sordil and his companion arrived before the throne.

At this moment, the prime minister, who had been waiting nearby, came to the two of them and said to all the nobles in the hall, "Gentlemen, a few days ago, King Yarikah was attacked by villains and unfortunately died. At the same time, the villains, with the help of an inside traitor, sneaked into the palace and carried out a bloody massacre. The Queen and all the Prince and Princess were also killed."

"However, the sky cannot be without the sun, and the kingdom cannot be without a king. Therefore, I summoned you all for discussion, and after a day and night of urgent deliberation, we finally found the kingdom's new sun, our new king, His Majesty Sordil Ornn!"

After drawing everyone's attention to Sordil, the Prime Minister continued, "Next, I, Charlie Townrus, will conduct the coronation ceremony for the new King and Queen!"

As soon as the Prime Minister finished speaking, a solemn and dignified piece of music began to play.

At this moment, a servant approached carrying a golden crown and scepter symbolizing royal power. The prime minister took the crown from the tray and gently placed it on Sordil's head, then handed the scepter to the Old Suo's right hand. At the same time, the prime minister solemnly said, "Your Majesty Sordil, on behalf of all the nobles, I entrust the Bosco Kingdom Bosco Kingdom your hands, hoping that you will lead us to a new peak."

Sordil accepted the scepter, then turned to face the nobles in the hall, and loudly replied, "I will certainly live up to your expectations and build the Bosco Kingdom into an even more prosperous and powerful nation!"

With that, Old Suo raised his scepter high, demonstrating his resolve and authority to the crowd.

"Oh!"

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted, demonstrating the crowd's support for the new king.

After Sordil finished interacting with everyone, the Prime Minister, carrying the Queen's golden crown and tokens, came before Sordil and said, "Your His Majesty the King, please personally crown Her Highness the Queen!" (There was no other way; the Great Owl's idol was Napoleon, and given Old Suo's strong possessiveness towards Irene, the Queen's coronation had to be carried out by Old Suo himself, not by anyone else.)

Old Suo took the golden crown from the tray and then placed it on Irene's head. (Yes! You heard right, on Her Majesty the Queen's head, and with a lot of force!)

At the same time, Old Suo whispered smugly in Irene's ear, "Your Her Majesty the Queen, you are now under my golden crown. For the rest of your life, you belong only to me!"

Irene looked up at the Bandit Sodir who had snatched her as his wife, then laughed and said, "Your Majesty Sordil, don't worry, I will never run away in this lifetime, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use the washboard I just bought."

Upon hearing the words "washboard," Old Suo shuddered, then quickly released his grip and continued the unfinished coronation ceremony. (Hmph! I won't tell you, Old Suo was in a hurry to run away!)
