Ch 437: How Can You Shoulder This Nation, Ignorant Of Such Suffering?

After Phia’s all-out treatment, Nirvana finally regained consciousness. His first words upon opening his eyes surprised everyone.

“Someone plans to steal this country using this revolutionary rebellion. His target is Kosidomus!”

Ems immediately went to Nirvana’s side after hearing this news.

“Can you elaborate?”

“I originally infiltrated the secret Archives to investigate Wu Xian’s affairs, but a man named Anyamams suddenly appeared. He led the development of those muscle monsters, and now he’s probably slaughtering the Imperial Army, the Rebel Army, and Kosidomus with his muscle monsters.”

“I understand.”

Ems stood up and walked to Phia’s side.

“Miss Phia, can you take me directly to the Royal Palace? Kosidomus cannot die yet; he must face the people’s trial. If he dies now, this revolution will fail.”

“I can, but how can you alone fight those muscle monsters? Even Bal needs to use his full strength to kill them, and you are just an ordinary person.”

Ems didn’t mind; he smiled with relief.

“It’s fine. I have a Divine Artifact that can change the laws of the world. Although I can only use it once, it’s enough.”

“…Should I call Bal back?”

“No, the offensive on the City Wall cannot be weakened; we’ve dragged this out for too long. The Empire’s Border Guard is heading this way; we need to quickly capture the Imperial Capital. Let Mr. Bal support the attacking troops.”

“I understand.”

A Teleportation Formation appeared beneath Phia and Ems. At this time, Grey suddenly walked to Ems’s side.

“Take me with you; I’m going too.”

“Are you alright? Nia asked me to take good care of you.”

Phia said, looking at Grey worriedly.

“I want to witness everything, and I’m not completely incapable of fighting.”

Grey took out a Blue Potion from his pocket; it was a perception potion specially made for him by Nia.

“I understand, but if you’re in any danger, I’ll teleport you back immediately.”

“Got it, let’s go.”

Ems looked back at Nirvana, who was still resting.

“Mr. Nirvana, I’ll leave things here to you for now.”

“I know. Go quickly. I’ll take command of this battle in your place; after all, I was once a Commander.”

Nirvana chuckled bitterly. Looking at Ems’s face, he thought of Phoenix’s face.

“Go, change this country, and let the people be in charge.”

“Mm.”

As Ems answered, a blinding White Light engulfed the three, and the next second they appeared in the Royal Palace of the Imperial Capital.

“It’s eerily quiet.”

Ems walked towards the Great Hall; he seemed very familiar with the layout of this palace. Soon, they arrived at the Great Hall.

“Anyamams!”

Ems kicked open the door to the Great Hall. The door looked quite heavy, yet Ems’s small body was able to generate such force. Grey’s worried heart finally settled down a bit. Now, Grey only needed to witness everything and ensure his survival.

“Oh? I wonder who it is. So it’s the leader of the rebels. Good evening, Ems, the illegitimate son of the Old Emperor, the half-brother of Williams, the former and current traitor, Edley Haiyames Heiteria Ansaphiro.”

Anyamams listed Ems’s Titles and full name one by one. Grey and Phia looked at Ems in surprise. Although they had suspected Ems’s identity, they only thought he was a descendant of an ordinary Noble. They never expected him to be of royal blood.

“Just call me Ems, Anyamams.”

“Yes, His Highness Ems, the former-former Prince.”

Anyamams rose from the Throne and elegantly bowed to everyone.

“So, what brings you here? Let me guess. Since you’re here, either you have a Teleportation Mage with you, or the Imperial Capital has already fallen. But considering that I’ve deployed my experimental subjects on the City Wall, there’s only one possibility—that white-haired girl is the Teleportation Mage, right?”

“Anyamams, where’s Kosidomus?”

Ems ignored Anyamams’s nonsense; finding Kosidomus was his top priority. Anyamams didn’t get angry. He clapped his hands, and a muscle monster appeared beside him. The monster held an old man who was only a head and torso—Kosidomus.

Ems drew his Sword. Angrily, he tried to kill Anyamams, but Phia stopped him.

“Don’t rush; Kosidomus isn’t dead yet.”

“What?!”

“Trust me, I can sense if someone is alive or dead.”

“Alright.”

Ems held his Sword tightly and said to Anyamams.

“Hand over Kosidomus, and get off the Throne!”

“Oh my, the former-former Prince, the former Prince, the current only rebel leader with royal blood, you want me to get off the Throne? Does that mean you want to ascend the Throne, restore the royal bloodline, and inherit the imperial throne?”

“I’m not interested in the throne. I just can’t tolerate someone like you defiling the throne that Williams left behind.”

“Hahahaha, young master, do you really think you can defeat my experimental subjects?”

After his laughter, Anyamams’s face turned cold as he stared at Ems.

“I originally planned to kill you after defeating your troops with my experimental subjects, but you’ve come to me directly. E-02, E-03, kill them.”

Anyamams waved his hand lightly, and two lumps of flesh appeared before Ems. They wore Restrainer on their faces, their bulging muscles covered in bulging blood vessels; their raised fists were powering up, ready to smash into the three.

“You won’t succeed, Gale Blade!”

Phia released countless powerful compressed Air Blades. Although they couldn’t directly kill the two muscle monsters, they could buy Grey and Ems time to escape.

“Oh? You’re quite skilled, little sister. Want to become my next generation experimental subject?”

Anyamams’s mouth continued its relentless attack, but a golden Spear answered him. The Spear, along with Anyamams, overturned the Throne, nailing Anyamams directly to the wall behind the Throne.

“Shut up.”

At this time, Grey and Ems appeared beside Phia.

“Phia, you deal with Anyamams’s monsters and retrieve Kosidomus. We’ll hold them off here.”

“…Okay.”

Phia’s figure disappeared instantly beside Grey and Ems. In the blink of an eye, she was floating beside Anyamams, who was nailed to the wall. She held her Black Long Spear against Anyamams’s neck. With a little force, Anyamams would die immediately.

“Ha…ha…Miss Phia…kill me…these experimental subjects…will go berserk…”

“Tsk.”

Phia found this man disgusting. She severed one of Anyamams’s legs with the cross-blade of her Spear, then instantly moved to the experimental subject holding Kosidomus. She was about to retrieve Kosidomus.

“Witness the difference between you and me, Anyamams. God-Slaying Spear・Longinus!”

As a large amount of Magic gathered in Phia’s hand, a Magic Lance emitting black and red light appeared in her hand.

“This is what you get for angering me. Witness the Demon King’s Rage! Drink!”

Phia forcefully threw the Magic Lance filled with ferocious Magic. The muscle monster holding Kosidomus lost its upper body in an instant. The monster’s blood splattered on Anyamams’s face, and a huge hole appeared in the wall behind the monster. This blow was visible even to those on the City Wall. The Magic Lance tore through the sky, piercing everything in its path.

“Th…this…what kind of power is this?!”

Anyamams looked at Phia in panic. Because of her rage, Phia momentarily displayed her former appearance wearing Demon King Armor.

“This revolution initiated by the people is not something a clown like you can interfere with.”

Phia looked at Grey and Ems. Although they were still fighting, she believed in them.

When Phia went to deal with Anyamams, Grey had already drunk the potion. His brain was running at high speed; time seemed to slow down for him. Although bows and arrows weren’t suitable for indoor combat, Grey still had a Dragon Tooth Dagger given to him by Nia. Grey held the Dragon Tooth Dagger in reverse grip, dodging as much as possible while using the dagger to inflict wounds on the monster. The sharpness of Leviathan’s tooth was enough to cut through the monster’s tough skin. If he only inflicted these kinds of wounds, Grey couldn’t kill the monster, but after seeing Nia and Phia’s battles, he had improved. While he lacked the family’s monstrous Magic reserves, and didn’t have extraordinary strength and speed, Grey had a brain capable of handling prolonged, high-overload operation.

“Witness the power of a mortal.”

After dodging the monster’s punch, Grey flashed behind the monster. From Anyamams’s perspective, Grey simply snapped his fingers, and the muscle monster fell to the ground, unable to move.

“Th…this is impossible!”

“Nothing is impossible.”

Phia could clearly see that Grey used Magic to construct extremely thin Threads every time he counterattacked. These Threads, along with some of Grey’s Magic, were pierced into the monster’s body by the Dragon Tooth Dagger. Then, the Threads flowed within the monster’s body. With a little Magic detonation, these Threads would destroy all the monster’s internal organs.

Only Ems’s battle hadn’t ended yet. After Grey dealt with the monster, he fainted due to brain overload. Phia maintained Kosidomus’s life while treating and recovering Grey.

On Ems’s side, his Sword couldn’t cut through the monster’s tough skin, but the monster’s offensive was gradually slowing down.

“Is this all you’ve got, monster?”

Ems stood there, panting. He hadn’t moved since the battle began.

“Then it’s my turn to counterattack. Pain・Release!”

Ems swung his Sword. The moment the blade touched the muscle monster, the monster swelled up like a balloon, then exploded into pieces of flesh.

“What!”

Anyamams exclaimed, and Ems put away his Sword and walked towards Anyamams, who was nailed to the wall.

“Is that all your creations can withstand?”

“What did you do?!”

“I merely gathered the suffering experienced by all the people of the Empire onto myself, then released it with my Sword.”

“That’s impossible! How could one person endure that much pain?!”

“This is the path I’ve walked, this is the people’s Rage, this is the pain of being oppressed by the Nobles. I have carried this burden until now, only so that the people can live in a stable country. And you? You tried to steal this country and continue its corrupt system. But how can you bear the weight of this country when you don’t even know what this suffering is!”

After saying this, Ems coughed up a large mouthful of blood. The pain he had endured had already reached its limit. At the moment of release, the powerful force severely injured his body. After treating Grey, Phia immediately treated Ems.

“Hold on! Ems!”

“Well done, Grey, Phia, and you, Ems.”

A long-haired man appeared at the entrance of the Great Hall. Ignoring Anyamams’s surprise, he walked towards Ems. After giving Ems a pill, the man drew a Long Dao from his waist.

“Anyamams, it’s time to say goodbye to this world.”

“Williams!”
