The entire area fell dead silent.
The most surprised was obviously Melanie Zelda herself. The moment her head was sent flying, she
still couldnât believe that she had been killed by a single move.
It had been a breeze to kill her.
It was as though the blade didnât cut through her. She was a ninth realm master close to Imminent
Immortal and a grand elder of Yorkshire Palace, she was but a cucumber hanging on a vine.
And more importantly, it was a wave of law power that had instantly locked her in place.
âYouâre⦠Immâ¦â
Melanieâs severed head managed to stutter out those words.
The word âImmortalâ never managed to leave her lips. Her eyes wide open, she died filled with regret,
unable to ever figure it out. How could Alex control the power of laws?
She still couldnât figure it out, even as she died.
âAunt!â Winona Zelda finally screamed, her voice high-pitched and in complete disbelief.
The grand elder of Yorkshire Palace she regarded to be her strongest backer. Also an elder of the tribe,
she had only come out at this time to find a chance, forcing Ynes to die once and for all. This was
supposed to be a small matter. How did it ever escalate to a point she couldnât believe what was
happening?
Without Melanie âs backing, who else would have the capacity to support Winona in Yorkshire Palace?
Ynes Larkin was also surprised.
Alexâs strength had once again turned her entire world upside down. He was actually so strong!
Then, at the beginning in Yorkshire Palaceâs forbidden area, if Alex had chosen not to run and stayed to
fight her instead, what would have been the outcome?
Even without using her brains, she could already tell that even if Alex seriously wanted to do
something, she wouldnât have half the strength to resist it anyway.
âDid you know that my reputation carries a hundred times more weight than your Yorkshire Palace Holy
Maiden moniker?â
âDid you think that I would really be okay with you spreading rumors about me in public?â
âForget it⦠Seeing as youâre someone who seems to know not repentance, thereâs no need to ask for
your last words. Iâll send you off to the next great adventure!â
Just as Alex finished speaking, Winona had jumped up and fled in the opposite direction.
However, with a flash⦠Neela appeared in front of Winona.
Boom!
A fist covered with dragon scales slammed heavily at Winonaâs chest, right where her heart was. A
hole blasted out through her chest.
In fact, Alex really had intended to leave, except he hadnât gotten very far before he saw Melanie and
Winona coming this way. He knew that with the state Ynes was in, she was bound to die. So he came
back in the end.
âSo, you really didnât mean to run into the forbidden area to spy on me?â Ynes looked at Alex, finally
feeling that she really might have been wrong from the start after all.
Neela snickered. âDo you think My Lord needs to use such means to peek at your body? With just a
single word, I could already have caught you, stripped you bare, and thrown you on My Lordâs bed. I
guarantee that no one would have been able to find you.â
Alex turned his palm over and flipped out a jade medal. Then, he threw it at Ynes.
âIf youâre interested, you can climb to the top of the waterfall. Thereâs a door there, which contains a
trail left behind by Yasmine, the headteacher of your Yorkshire Palace. However, whether or not you
can enter would depend on your own capability.â
âIâll give you that jade medal as compensation. Perhaps, with Yorkshire Palace in your hands, there
might be some hope to save it.â
