Semua Bab Revenge of the Night: Bab 2301 - Bab 2310

"You wish for release from your mortal coil? But the empress has enslaved your soul. You can't possibly help me." Nox narrowed his eyes.The old man gave him a look of approval. "I see we have a Sovereign who's different from the others. You are nearly perfect.""Thanks for the praise, but since you can't help me anyway, mind telling me a story? For example, what happened here seventy thousand years ago?" Nox asked. He didn't need the old man's approval, so his praise meant nothing."To work swiftly is to be an emperor. Of course, I can tell you a bit about history, but only to you. Ms. Sanders and the princess are both sacrifices. They have no right to this information." The old man waved his hand, and two smaller boxes covered them, separating them from Nox and the old man.Nineve and Queenie panicked a little, but Queenie quickly composed herself. She had a look of determination in her eyes. If her sacrifice could save Nox's grandfather, she was willing to pay with her life.Ni

"But let's get back to Flame Emperor. He was… aloof and libertine. If we go by modern Faeast history's definition, he'd be a tyrant, but given that live sacrifice was in vogue during his era, he was a good leader, relatively speaking," said the old man.Nox wasn't interested in Flame Emperor's personality. "And? What happened? Things can't be that simple. He must know the empress! I have a feeling about it," Nox said solemnly."That's a rare talent, Mr. Greenshade. Well, for men, anyway. But yes, you're right. Flame Emperor does know the empress, and they share a deep bond. As I've said, he was aloof and had many members in his harem, but he had no love for any of them."He spent his life looking for a woman worthy of him, and the Three-Eyed Empress is one of them."Nox was flabbergasted. 'Wait, so Flame Emperor had sex with the Three-Eyed Empress? So that means he might be an enemy!' he thought.The old man mocked, "Starting to panic? Good, and I thought you were ignorant." He th

Queenie mused quietly. The one person dearest to her was Nox. She owed him too much, and he had taken on too much for her. She then realized she was holding him down. She was deadweight, and her dismay turned into fury. She started resisting the fog fiercely.Dominic looked a little embarrassed. This was contrary to what he had in mind. He wanted Queenie to remain calm and steel her resolve. Dominic wasn't sure if Queenie could get out of this mess. He wanted her to hold on until Nox could save her."All the same, turning dismay into strength is better than lying down and accepting defeat. Still, how'd a regular woman like Nineve fend the fog off? Azure Dragon told Quentin that Magic Mountain's founder made this happen. If that's true, then Nineve is more than meets the eye. No, her family is more than meets the eye," said Dominic.Quentin had been standing beside him all this time. Passionately, he gushed, "Stop messing around, master. Nox is in danger, and we have proof of Celesti

If this worked, Nineve and Queenie would be crushed inside. Nox wasn't panicking, however. He watched the Ironhands' patriarch work his magic. The cube started to cave in. Though she was in a dire situation, Queenie's fury rose.Flames started to burn where her heart should be. An ancient aura came spilling out of her. The moment it touched the cube, the structure crumbled. At the same time, Nineve crushed the cube imprisoning her for some reason. Also, the cube seemed to have submitted to her will.The cube shrank until it was the size of a regular Rubix cube. Nineve was flabbergasted. She had no idea what just happened. The old man shared her surprise. "What is this?""Simple. One, I trust the founder. Technically speaking, he is also one of my mentors, and he's the most powerful one of them all. I have no reason not to trust him. He wouldn't set me up, after all. Besides, he would rather sacrifice himself if it meant his student wouldn't have to suffer."Two, most of my enemies

"How am I supposed to ruin this thing? It keeps spinning in my head!" Nineve wanted to scream. She could sense the cube in her mind. All she had to do was think about it, and the shards flew into the air to create new combinations. Nox told her to stop."Alright, stop! Tell the cube to stay as it is!" said Nox.Nineve told the cube to stop and keep all the shards in the air. Nox stood in the center and observed them with his divine sense. The shards were broken talismans, and every talisman was one shard. When all the shards came together as one, they would become a cube."As long as the talisman isn't ruined, then the cube can reform no matter how many times it is destroyed. The core is inside Nineve." Nox observed Nineve with his divine sense. The talisman's rune should be imprinted on her body, though some ancient talismans would do it on the bones.Nox, however, didn't find anything at all. "Odd. I didn't see anything in her body. Of course. If it did make Nineve its master, th
