CHAPTER 563: THE ASHES OF BETRAYAL

Cynthia lay in a pool of blood.

Her head rolled to the side.

Kana waved his hand, and another snake coiled around it.

The snake spat out, but what it spewed was a flame that clung to the corpse, burning ferociously.

On the other side.

Alyris was still fighting with Wolft’s sewn beast.

This monster, transformed by Kana’s "father," was marginally stronger than Cynthia; otherwise, she wouldn’t have used it as a trump card.

But Alyris wasn’t as powerful as Kana.

So the battle continued, though Alyris had firmly taken the upper hand, and with a little more time, she could defeat the monster.

With a wave of her hand.

The blood turned into ropes, binding the monster to the ground, and Alyris seized the opportunity for a fatal strike.

With the monster’s wailing.

All enemies in the laboratory were completely cleared.

The Night Watchers looked at Kana, and Bobo and Alyris also stared at Kana.

For a moment, the laboratory became somewhat quiet.

Because to outsiders.

Kana had personally executed his own parents at this moment.

Though one had completely fallen into the embrace of the Evil God and become a cultist, and the other was transformed into a monster.

This did not change the fact.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, not knowing how to comfort Kana.

And as Kana watched the blazing flames, what he thought was.

The reason these Evil God supported his "mother," apart from her talents, was probably to use the bond of family to make him reveal a flaw.

If it had been the former Kana, he might have indeed shown a flaw at this moment or hesitated to act.

After all, his mother, to some extent, had disguised herself quite well.

As Kana grew, he became indifferent but wasn’t entirely indifferent.

Even a failure has to have some use after all.

But now’s Kana is different from the Kana of the past; although he had some memories, most had shattered into pieces.

The older the memories, the more fragmented they became.

The feelings the former Kana had for his mother came from those past memories.

So for Kana, this "mother" was no different from the "father."

Just ordinary powerful cultists.

"Go outside and support our comrades."

As soon as Kana spoke.

Everyone nodded and quickly dashed out of the laboratory.

Alyris and Bobo exchanged a glance and nodded silently before following to leave.

The Night Watchers saw this as an excuse for Kana to be alone, thinking it best not to leave anyone behind at this time.

As everyone left.

Kana stood motionless in place.

With the help of the Alchemy Fire, the corpses turned into a pile of ashes before him.

Once again, the flames clung to the monster’s body.

After the "parents" turned to ash, Kana collected the ash into a jar.

He placed it into his space waist bag.

The crystal pillar at his waist had been shimmering with light, never stopping.

It was time to check his gains.

...

The battle ended quickly.

The Night Watchers outside began cleaning up the battlefield.

Shortly after, Kana also emerged from the laboratory.

The members part of the [Library] unit brought along with the army started bustling about in the laboratory.

Under Bobo’s guiding, they began collecting various books and materials in the laboratory.

The members of the [Alchemy Laboratory] gazed in awe at the Alchemy Equipment.

This was the largest laboratory in the entire Safro Kingdom, aside from the one belonging to the current King.

Though it was a human transmutation alchemy laboratory, much of the alchemy equipment was universal and quite advanced.

It was obvious that they had been handcrafted and modified by a master.

All were to be moved.

These were all gains.

There wasn’t just one laboratory, but several alchemy laboratories surrounding each other.

A laboratory complex.

This was the biggest gain for the Night Watchers.

Bringing these into the town could rapidly help develop the somewhat lacking basic infrastructure of the [Alchemy Laboratory].

Although they were on good terms with the Cohen Kingdom right now, high-level alchemy equipment wasn’t that easy to acquire.

Especially with the Blood Race’s fleet blocking various sea routes, such precious goods were hardly dared to be sold by anyone, for fear of being robbed or falling into the sea.

These were just in time to solve the urgent issue.

Giant Rock City.

The Third Princess imprisoned in the castle.

She remained anxious, unable to engage in anything, as if awaiting the arrival of death.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

She quickly stood up: "Come in."

Her knight entered.

"Your Highness, Cynthia should have failed. The forces around the laboratory have been completely eliminated, and Kana has emerged from the laboratory."

On hearing this, the Third Princess was shocked.

Then became ecstatic.

"Didn’t they come over? Quickly check and see if the restrictions and seals on me are still in place. If not, we can leave here quickly."

The Guardian Knight hesitated, "But the United Army is just outside the city, and our soldiers are still fighting them."

At this time, with the Third Princess responsible for the whole city wanting to escape, how was it different from letting the entire Giant Rock City fall?

"Forget about these!" the Third Princess screamed hysterically.

"What time do you think it is now? Didn’t you realize? Our defeat is inevitable, and no reinforcements have come until now.

Martin’s main force is still rampaging in the outer sea, and grandfather obviously intends to let these United Armies drive up to the Royal Capital.

As for our lives, he cares not one bit. Otherwise, why did father go missing?

You saw it, right? He was in that slut Cynthia’s hands; everyone knew, but no one dared to move."

The Third Princess felt like going insane; she didn’t know when things deviated completely from her expectations.

She felt like a pawn, an idiot.

She had no idea what these people wanted to do; she could only drift along, with her life hanging in their hands.

Now she wanted to escape.

Her brother Kana was chasing her, wanting to take her life.

He wouldn’t hold back.

"Quick, escape, leave..."

The knight silently nodded.

Just as the Third Princess freed herself from the seal, preparing to escape.

She froze on the spot.

Because someone stood in her way.

The Third Princess only had about thirty knights with her.

Considered her personal guard.

But blocking her way was Kana, who had come at some unknown moment.
