"The King... is actually a monster?"
"No, this can't be, how is this possible?"
"Right, I must have seen wrong. How could the King be a monster?"
Looking at the tentacles on Plom's body, countless Kingdom soldiers wore expressions of disbelief.
At the same time!
Kleh also slowly woke up, just in time to see everything.
Her pupils contracted, and her faith suffered an unimaginable impact.
On the other side!
Freya, seeing this sight, immediately flew into the air and spoke loudly:
"O loyal soldiers of the Geolal Kingdom."
"I believe you have also seen that my father, Plom, died long ago."
"What stands before you now is a filthy monster."
"We are following Lord Linde precisely to subjugate this monster and return the Geolal Kingdom to the right path..."
Her every word shattered the psychological defenses of all the Kingdom soldiers.
The facts were laid bare before them, forcing them to believe.
"Now, please pick up your weapons and declare war on your true enemy."
Listening to Freya's words, everyone muttered to themselves: "That's right, the King is the monster."
"Princess Freya is the one who is right."
Unconsciously, everyone had already turned their weapons, aiming them at the King they once served.
In the end.
Plom ruled the Kingdom using a false pretense.
Ultimately, he would be devoured by the very illusion he had created.
"I truly didn't expect to be exposed in front of so many people."
Plom sighed, but his face gradually began to twist and become ferocious.
"If that's the case... then I'll just kill all of you."
"By then, I will still be the King of this country."
His roaring voice echoed for a long time.
Every piece of flesh all over his body seemed to swell up, like countless lumps of meat constantly squirming.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Innumerous tentacles broke through and emerged from his body.
In just a few breaths.
Plom had completely lost his human form, transforming into a bizarre, small mountain-like monster.
"Is this your true form?"
Watching this scene, Linde shook his head in disgust: "I've seen quite a few monsters."
"But this ugly, this is the first time."
"Hehehe, you can only make sarcastic remarks now."
Plom gave a cold laugh, and the tentacles on his body constantly expanded, seemingly blotting out the sky and sun.
"Go die."
No longer confined to a human body, Plom's power was now incomparable to what it was before.
His terrifying magic power could shake the heavens and earth.
Dozens of meters long tentacles swept in from all directions, surrounding Linde, seemingly intent on crushing him into a pulp.
But!
Just as these tentacles were about to contract, Linde's indifferent voice rang out from within, and the squeezing tentacles suddenly paused.
"Devil's Spear - Infinite Thunder Strike."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Endless thunder bloomed, instantly shattering Plom's tentacles, turning them into blood chunks that scattered everywhere.
"Hahaha, it's useless."
Plom laughed maniacally.
"I possess the true Undying Body, so what if your strength surpasses mine?"
"How many times can you use that move you just used?"
"When the time comes, the one who dies will definitely be you."
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The broken tentacles regrew, returning to normal in just an instant.
"Is that so?"
The moment the voice sounded, crimson gauntlets had already appeared on Linde's hands.
The Blazing Fire.
The next second!
Under the shocked gaze of everyone, crimson flames spread throughout the sky.
The flames were vast and magnificent, seemingly capable of incinerating the heavens and earth, with an infinitely grand aura.
The instant the flames appeared, everyone felt the moisture in their bodies rapidly vanishing.
"What kind of flame is this?"
A hint of fear emerged in Plom's ugly eyes.
Almost instinctively, he sensed the terror of these flames.
It was not fear originating from his body, but dread born from the depths of his soul.
Without the slightest hesitation, countless tentacles swelled, twisted, and intertwined, seemingly intending to tear the flames completely apart.
But!
The moment the two sides made contact.
There was absolutely no earth-shattering scene.
All the tentacles were forcibly erased, as if by an invisible paintbrush, and completely disappeared.
"It won't be that easy to kill me."
Facing all this, Plom let out a hysterical roar.
He realized that with his massive size, he couldn't dodge at all, and could only fight desperately.
Under the life-or-death crisis, Plom opened his huge mouth, and vast and magnificent magic power instantly erupted.
A black-purple pillar of light shot up into the sky, extending hundreds of meters, seemingly unstoppable.
Buzz!
The pillar of light and the flames converged.
Visible ripples spread across the sky, the air screamed under pressure, turning into palpable waves of heat.
Nearby buildings immediately showed signs of melting.
It was as if the entire world was about to dissolve because of it.
Immediately after!
The black-purple pillar of light dissipated at a visible speed.
Plom could only watch helplessly as the all-destroying flames drew closer and closer.
Silently!
His body gradually turned into nothingness, and even the ground beneath his feet vanished without a trace.
[experience **]
"Hmm, I've leveled up to 62."
Linde glanced at his status panel, his eyes lighting up.
This was an unexpected bonus.
The demon named Plom had been eliminated.
Norn and Freya, the only two remaining heirs to the throne, had effortlessly gained control of the kingdom.
At this very moment.
Inside the Royal Palace Hall.
"...It was all fake."
"The Geolal Kingdom is not a shield protecting its people, but a terrifying nation that constantly threatens other countries with its power."
"All demi-humans are mere commodities, constantly exploited and traded."
"And the King is nothing more than a hideous demon..."
Kleha hugged her knees, murmuring distractedly to herself.
"What happened to her?"
Linde, who had just walked into the palace hall, was slightly stunned by this sight.
"Hehe, in order for Master to successfully take her as a companion, I told her everything the kingdom has done."
Norn said with a beaming smile.
"Well done, Norn."
"Hehe."
Norn smiled and said, "Shouldn't I get a reward then?"
"How about the first batch of medicine goes to you?"
Hearing Linde's words, Norn's pretty face flushed slightly.
Although what needed to happen had already happened more than once, she still felt a little shy.
However, she did not object, but nodded, "You... you promised, okay?"
On the other side.
Freya clenched her small fists in annoyance.
Damn it.
Why didn't I think of something like this?
That little sister's mind sure works fast.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Kleha, whose eyes were still blank, heard the footsteps and subconsciously looked up.
The handsome figure, familiar yet strange, entered her vision.
Her eyes still dull, she said, "It's you. Do you need something?"
"Naturally, I do."
Linde smiled slightly and said, "Actually, you don't need to be so depressed."
"The kingdom's sins have nothing to do with you."
"No, that's not right..."
Kleha murmured subconsciously, "As someone who is..."
"No, listen to me."
Linde interrupted her directly and said earnestly, "Since the past has already happened, it cannot be changed."
"Since that's the case, why don't you try to put the kingdom back on the right track?"
"Returning... to the right track?"
Kleha froze in place.
Does she, having committed sins, still have the right to help the people of this country?
