Chapter 76

The capital of the Holy Emperor, located in the center of the Saffre Kingdom, has no special differences in its underground prisons compared to other cities.

The dim environment, the musty smell and the indistinct whispers of the prisoners were mixed together, and the cramped and cramped cell was filled with an uncomfortable sense of despair.

"I can't stay in this damn place for a second..."

A tall, thin man with stubble on his face and bloodshot eyes was leaning tiredly on the pile of dry straw.

Kenneth rubbed his darkened eye circles, and complained in a low voice that only he could hear: "How long do I have to wait... There must be something wrong with Philip's intelligence..."

Time seemed to be soaked in darkness and became longer, which was suffocating.

I don't know how much time passed, and when the man was boringly folding straws to pass the time, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps from the steps in the distance, and finally a smile appeared on Kenneth's numb face.

The information is indeed correct...

The next moment, the captain of the guards cursed and shouted in everyone's ears.

"Get the hell out of here, all of you! You disgusting kingdom borers are in luck!"

One after another, the rusty bars and prison doors were roughly torn open. Immediately, the excited voices of the prisoners spread instantly, and some even blew cheerful whistles.

"Shut up all you despicable bastards who are doing all kinds of evil!"

The angry shout of the captain of the guard echoed throughout the underground space: "If it weren't for the last benevolent government of the great king, you moths are destined to rot here!"

In the past, no prisoner dared to disobey the words of the captain of the guard, but today is different.

At the moment when the prison door was opened, everyone was free, and the king granted innocence to all the prisoners.

Because the succession of the kingdom is about to begin... Zecharia IX, the old king, is about to retire from the world stage. He will tolerate and forgive all sins during the last period of his reign, and only create a new era for the new king to ascend the throne. Immaculate pure land.

And when the young new king, that is, Zecharia X, took over the scepter with his own hands...

——An unprecedented grand banquet will kick off.

Princes and nobles from all over Savola will witness the coronation of the new king in this unparalleled banquet!
The tall, lanky man silently mingled among the excited prisoners and climbed the stairs led by the guards.

But Kenneth didn't care about the king's banquet. His purpose of causing trouble and entering the prison this time was just to get close to the aged Zechariah IX...

According to information from the intelligence merchant Philip, on the day when the old king pardoned the criminals, he would walk out of the fortress-like palace, and he would personally declare his gift in front of all the prisoners.

This is also Kenneth's best and only chance.

I want to use the ability of the 'Mirror Holder' to tear the figure of that king...I want to make that damn foolish king pay the price...I want to avenge my wife and daughter...

The man licked his dry lips, and his mind flashed once again their horrific corpses and their desperate faces with bloody and bloody eye sockets...

Kenneth's slender figure shook, and he subconsciously closed his eyes, just to cover up the crazy flame of hatred in his eyes.

They were just passing by the palace that day...

Kenneth, who returned from his adventure in the abyss, was told by the kingdom's guards that heretics attacked and killed his wife and daughter.

But this Transcendent of Ember rank saw the cries of his wife and daughter and Zecharia IX's old and sick cruel smile in his "mirror of the past" with his own eyes!

I will make you pay...I must make you pay...

"What are you doing with your eyes closed? Why are you still intoxicated, you stupid guy?!"

Kenneth's knee was suddenly kicked viciously by the captain of the guard. The man staggered and knelt on the ground. The shackles on his hands hit the ground with a crisp sound, and other guards and soldiers erupted around him instantly. The intertwined laughter of the prisoners.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I was too happy to be like this because I got the king's pardon..."

The man let out a long breath, stood up again under the gaze of the captain of the guard, and continued to walk forward without saying a word.

Absolutely must not reveal my superhuman identity... I almost spent all my savings to buy the bottle of secret medicine that hides supernatural properties, and thus entered this prison for ordinary people.

Soon... soon... I will be able to see the 'merciful' king with my own eyes...

Kenneth is still very confident in his extraordinary ability of "Mirror Holder". He can summon the "Mirror of Seeing Through Illusion", and then project the target's mirror image soul in the mirror.

However, the attacks received by the mirror image soul will directly affect the target's body to a certain extent.

This is an instantaneous and very powerful supernatural ability. With this, Kenneth gained a firm foothold in the Adventurer's Association and saved a lot of money. He also established a warm family because of this. People spend the rest of their lives with their families.

But the cruel and absurd reality tore apart everything about the man so easily.

No one is willing to believe that the benevolent king would commit such inhumane acts...

·
Soon, the guards led a group of prisoners out of the dark underground prison, but the strange thing is that today's weather is a bit abnormal...

Kenneth's concept of time has always been precise, and he is sure that this moment is definitely noon in the day, when the sun is at its strongest.

But in the sight of the man, the sky was black.

This blackness is not the night sky, but the whole world seems to be hung with a thick layer of black cloth, the pure black pressure makes people breathless.

No... No... This is not the present world!

The man who had accumulated countless experiences in the abyss immediately noticed the abnormality, and a certain uneasy feeling began to flow deep in Kenneth's heart.

The crowd began to commotion. After all, the prisoners around Kenneth were all ordinary people. Although they didn't understand what happened, they also panicked in the pitch-dark environment.

At the same time, Kenneth found that the kingdom guards leading them had all disappeared, leaving only the dazed prisoners in this dark space.

The man's thoughts became confused.

The king will personally declare his boon in front of all the prisoners...

The man who had been driven away by hatred couldn't help rethinking the meaning of the words of intelligence businessman Philip.

That's right... how could that cruel king... give everyone the so-called gift?

"hungry……"

The next moment, a thunderous old voice sounded in everyone's ears.

That old voice didn't appear from all around, but originated from the darkness above the head... as if it came from outside the sky, from another world.

creak-

Along with the trembling of the ground and the strange noises from the sky, under the eyes of everyone in disbelief, the black cloth in the sky... no... the bowl that held the dinner plate was lifted!
"I'm very hungry……"

So under Kenneth's dull gaze, he saw Zecharia IX's knife and fork piercing the body of a prisoner beside him.
