Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 185 - 140: Massacre on All Sides, the Royal Family Exterminated_2
Chapter 185: Chapter 140: Massacre on All Sides, the Royal Family Exterminated_2
For a Six-winged Main Angel suspected of being a Legend to request a Divine Artifact from his father and descend to chop him, such an honor could only befit a Hell Lord.
But even thinking with his tail, Noah knew that devil couldn’t possibly be a Hell Lord. Never mind how much suppression a legendary creature from lower planes would face entering the Material Realm, if that were the case, that being wouldn’t need to sneak around in the shadows.
"No need to bother with this matter."
Not yet realizing the storm he had stirred up, Noah flicked his tail, grabbed a few Tifflins, and went straight home.
"Tsk tsk tsk, where did you find such oddities?"
Even the well-versed Legendary Mage Selena couldn’t help but marvel at the few Tifflins Noah had brought back.
The number of Tifflins, contaminated by the Purgatory aura and possessing devilish traits, is actually considerable worldwide, roughly adding up to hundreds of thousands dispersed here and there.
But under the Spell of Detecting Evil, to still emit white light Tifflins,
"Are perhaps rarer than Legends."
This was the evaluation given by the Legendary Mage.
To live life without committing evil is especially difficult for mortals, not to mention those polluted by the Purgatory aura, facing all sorts of unfair and discriminatory treatment from birth to adulthood—the Tifflins.
"Auntie, do you want them? They wouldn’t be bad as servants."
"They have no casting talent, what could they do for me as servants?"
Selena shook her head,
"Even for experimentation, they wouldn’t qualify. The Tifflins I dissected back then were much better than them."
"Stop scaring them."
Seeing the few Tifflins trembling with fear, Noah made a final arrangement,
"In that case, I will settle them in my territory."
"Aren’t you afraid of causing disputes?"
"Who dares?"
"Little thing, flaunting your power in front of me?"
Before Noah’s dominance even had a chance to fully manifest, he received another blow and dutifully took the few Tifflins he favored back to his territory.
In the following period, Noah, through the Gemology Society and his adoptive mother’s channels, collected external information, naturally focusing on the Six-winged Angel carrying the Divine Artifact.
Information about her was incredibly easy to gather, as this angel had no intention of being discreet whatsoever, descending with the Divine Sword for mass slaughter.
Ignoring races, ignoring nations, regardless of any background, as long as there was a connection with the Hell Abyss, as long as there was a trace of wrong in the aura, this Six-winged Angel would draw her sword to chop, unstoppable in her path, cutting down all who stood in her way.
"Hahahahaha, this is killing me with laughter."
Noah watched with helplessness as the young girl beside him, with no regard for decorum, laughed heartily, akin to the Golden Dragon suspecting that if he weren’t present, his adoptive mother would probably be rolling on the floor with laughter.
"Tell me, where did that old man get the courage? To even think of protecting someone in front of a Main Angel with a Divine Artifact? Now he’s been slashed once and learned his lesson, not daring to go back to the Mage Tower, hahahah."
Seeing his adoptive mother roaring with laughter, Noah couldn’t help but glance again at the information he had just received.
Because of him, the self-funded descent of the Six-winged Angel Ophelia, swept eastward from the Augustus family, mowing down like cutting melons, killing nearly a hundred nobles, genuinely killing quite a few devils.
Those were real devils, not Fallen corrupted by Hellish aura, which showed that the situation within the Kingdom was indeed a bit severe.
However severe it might be, it meant nothing in front of a highly targeted Six-winged Main Angel, as all schemes and plots are jokes in the face of absolute strength.
Without doing any investigation or understanding local circumstances, Ophelia slew her way through, entering the Kingdom Capital.
Predictably, there were also Hell followers among the Royal Family who had been tempted and corrupted by devils, and then, the angel blatantly ignored the Mage Tower suppressing the Capital City, wielding her sword on people.
Even if their inheritance was long-separated and their bloodline had thinned, they were ultimately his descendants and still the base maintaining his power; the old mage whom the Royal Family relied on certainly wouldn’t sit by and do nothing.
The truly corrupted descendants, the old mage naturally couldn’t protect and dared not to, but those unknowing of the aura tainting them, the angel insisted on slaying them.
The old mage certainly was unwilling; at this rate, the Royal Family would be wiped out, meaning his core of power would be severed, directly harming his interests.
And that was it; this Legendary Mage was also chopped, the other Legendary mage whom the Royal Family relied on, also the old mage’s follower, was slaughtered on the spot by the angel, and the old mage was severely injured, losing the upper half of his Mage Tower.
This was a nationwide shocking event, merely because some Royal descendants were entangled with devils, they faced bloodshed and massacre by the Heavenly Main Angel.
The two unrelated Legends, who only sought to protect their descendants, with one killed and the other forced into exile, daring not to return home.
After this battle, the Royal Family became almost nominally defunct; however, as long as the old mage remained alive, the Royal Family could be rebuilt, but severely weakened, with their roots almost entirely destroyed, even if they managed to bounce back, they’d be far inferior to before.
As for aiding the Royal Family, what a joke, that’s an angel coming to suppress devils, who would support the Royal Family? In this matter, the Royal Family had no legitimate stance, even as they neared extinction.
Six-winged Angels represent Light and Justice, who dares oppose them?
Before dealing with the Royal Family, a river of blood had been shed across many nobles in the Kingdom, with families even being exterminated, yet even the survivors dared not voice injustice, swallowing their crushed teeth mixed with tears.
Who dares raise their voice? Saying you’ve been wronged implies you have connections to devils, being a Hell follower, plotting to overthrow the Material Realm? To destroy the world? Such entities would be tolerated by none.
Of course, more importantly, it’s clear to anyone not foolish that this chaotic Kingdom-killing angel comes from a significant background, wielding a genuine Divine Artifact.
If opposition were to happen, even in victory, what then? There are stronger forces behind this angel yet to descend; if provoked, the Kingdom would be cleansed from top to bottom.
"Oh, if I’m not mistaken, this angel has quite the connection with you, summoned by you?"
"I’m not, I didn’t, it has nothing to do with me!"
Noah instantly denied thrice, it had nothing to do with him, clearly it was that devil who drew the hatred, causing this angel to descend from Heaven in fury with a drawn sword.
"Really?"
Selena narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Of course, it’s true, this matter is unrelated to me."
Noah declared decisively.
"It better have nothing to do with you. This little angel, after the killing spree, is likely to return to Heaven. That old fellow certainly won’t dare disturb her in Heaven, but he might have the guts to trouble us with nuisances."
"It truly has nothing to do with me!"
Noah sensed something amiss at this moment; while the angel enjoyed a killing spree and he enjoyed watching, it would genuinely be disconcerting were this matter to be tied to him.
Who knows how much hatred Ophelia had secretly drawn. Indeed, no one could openly criticize an angel’s righteous act of vanquishing evil, but in practice, Ophelia’s cleansing was somewhat excessive, akin to eradicating whole family lines.
Once she leaves as if nothing happened, no one dares cause trouble in Heaven, but the Augustus family is within the Kingdom.
If it were known that this angel was summoned by some Holy Dragon within the Augustus family, how would the last surviving old mage in the near-extinct Royal Family react?
