Victory

"Curse?"

Sulu scoffed, "If the curses of the weak were effective, then the strong would have all perished long ago..."

He didn't think much of it, went over to check Frank, and found nothing unusual.

"This duke... his suicide was a bit too decisive, wasn't it?"

Sulu was somewhat puzzled, but didn't take it seriously, and notified his men to come and clean up the battlefield.

Nighttime at Rose Castle.

"Teacher!"

Messiah looked at the rough statistics and was very excited. "We have won! We killed nearly a thousand people and captured three or four thousand... Our own casualties were very small. The Church people said that many of the wounded can recover."

"It's a pity... that Grand Duke Mitis would actually commit suicide after his defeat. What a proud nobleman..." Shackle, standing beside him, felt a pang of regret.

If the other side is also captured, then this kingdom's turmoil will be nearing its end.

"This is a bit strange..."

Sulu also felt that the Grand Duke had died too easily, as if there was some hidden force at play.

After all, this would mean the chaos and war on the mainland would continue.

It does resemble the work of a Wizard from the South.

"There's also good news: the majority of the Mad School has moved to the West Territory and settled down..."

Messiah laughed, "The Silver Eye Wizard sent this over."

She brought over a box, and when she opened it, inside was a Dragon Crystal and a letter.

Dragon Crystal were something Sulu ordered his school to collect as much as possible before he left, so obtaining one was an unexpected bonus.

But then, as he looked at the contents of the letter, his expression turned slightly somber.

Although the Arrogant School was ordered to relocate, that little fellow Ham stubbornly stayed in the Royal Territory, seemingly unwilling to part with his fiefdom.

"What an idiot."

Sulu shook his head. "But fools always seem to have good luck..."

"Teacher, what should we do next?"

The Messiah inquired about his future plans.

"Didn't you already prepare what to do?"

Sulu waved his hand. "If you want to fight your way back to the Royal Capital go ahead. You don't need to ask my opinion."

He left the meeting room with his hands behind his back, gazing at the moonlight streaming through the castle windows, and suddenly felt a surge of irritation.

Back in his room, Sulu first examined the Dragon Crystal, then casually put it into the Greed Glove.

Previously, a single Dragon Crystal was enough to transform him, but later, it took two Dragon Crystal to upgrade ' Dragon Blood Baptism ' by one level.

Now, more Dragon Crystal are needed, but the effects and experience may not be as good as the first time.

You need to accumulate three or four to achieve a noticeable effect.

Thinking of this, Sulu felt a surge of anger rise in his heart again. He wished he could storm the treasuries of all the dukes and search them thoroughly, or even go directly to the Dragon Cave, defeat the Undying Black Dragon, and complete the last requirement for advancing to the fifth rank.

"Huh?"

The anger came on inexplicably, and after Sulu sat down, he felt somewhat incredulous: 'Am I such a person who is so eager for quick success?'

'No... the closer we get to the legendary level, the more cautious and careful we must be! Not to mention... that Black Dragon is definitely a 'near-legendary' one. Even if I could win right now, fighting it head-on would come at an extremely heavy price...'

'And what happened today... it's all a bit strange! I have a feeling something's not quite right...'

After thinking for a moment, Sulu rolled his eyes back and his Soul Projection.

The surrounding scenery changed instantly, and from a spirit's perspective, it could discover many things that ordinary people or even extraordinary individuals could not observe.

For example... dark red runes formed a chain-like curse that lingered outside his body.

Upon discovering the spirit, it tried to pounce on it.

"Curse?"

Sulu stared expressionlessly at the approaching curse, letting it cling to the spirit.

The next moment.

Sizzle!

A tiny spark of electricity was generated, and the dark red runes collapsed directly on the surface of the spirit, leaving only a few fragments of light, which Sulu held in his hand.

"It's a good concept, but the key is its ability to subtly influence people's minds and drive them mad?"

This curse is of a very high level; according to Sulu's investigation, only those with the ability to explore the Dream Spirit World could discover it.

If used against ordinary high-level Wizard or even Wizard King, it might be very effective.

Unfortunately, at this point, not only was his level of Soul Projection ridiculously high, but he was also following the path of a [Dream Master], his spirit had been transformed, making him no less powerful than ordinary Fierce Spirit Wicked Spirit.

This level of curse was eliminated by the spirit's spontaneous defense without any action was taken.

"It must be Grand Duke Frank's death today; he was the catalyst for the ceremony..."

Although Grand Duke Frank has a low rank, his status is high enough. He controls the Northern Territory and the Royal Capital, and carries the expectations, or rather... the faith, of hundreds of thousands of people!

Of course, this is completely different from faith in gods; the difference in quality is vast.

However, even a slight provocation followed by a sudden outburst can be deadly!

Just like this incident, if it had happened to a fourth-tier professional who didn't follow the Spirit World path, they might have been in trouble!

"The Black Ring School actually possesses curses of this rank? Or was it a find from excavating other ruins?"

Dragon City.

In the darkness, shadowy figures slowly climbed the city wall.

Under the cover of night, they climbed the high city wall with little difficulty and drew their weapons.

Who is it?

Only then did the patrolling Soldier notice them.

"Kill!"

The next moment, terrifying battle aura erupted, and these knights were all at least Black Iron level!

They were like sharp knives, directly driving back the old, weak, and disabled soldiers left behind in the Northern Territory, and opening the barely repaired city gate.

Outside the city, a hidden army immediately stormed in and engaged in fierce fighting with the arriving defenders, clearly gaining the upper hand.

Not long after, the wolf banner on the city gate was cut down and replaced with a Raven Banner.

"Dragon City... has finally fallen under the control of us Southerners."

A scarred commander watched this scene, sighed, and then yelled, "Quick! Quick... surround the palace! We must capture Wallace I!"

The next morning.

The people of the Royal Capital were astonished to discover a fact.

The Dragon City has changed hands once again, this time ruled by the Black Raven from the south, the mysterious Grand Duke of Black Castle!

The Grand Duke, who had been busy digesting and pacifying his southeastern fiefdom, was riding a black steed along the road leading to the palace.

Eamon looked to be only in his twenties or thirties, with a very young and handsome appearance. Only his golden eyes carried the weight of history, giving him a wise air.

He looked up at the towering palace buildings, a smile appearing on his face, "Finally... my dream, my pursuit... is about to be realized here!"

Before long, countless Raven flew off in all directions, bringing news that shocked the entire continent.

The Grand Duke of Black Castle occupied Dragon City, declared Wallace I a ' False King,' and offered to welcome Queen Messiah to the Royal Capital to rule!
