Chapter 34: King of the Night(1/2)
In the front hall, Sayato, who was at the front, had already reached the inner corridor, and soon entered the middle hall. She looked at the high platform at the deepest part of the middle hall, where the Black Throne was.
Su Xiao and others also entered the middle hall. Although he could not become the new king, with his status in the empire, he was certainly qualified to witness the new king's arrival.
Sayato continued to move forward step by step, but she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the crown on her head was getting colder and colder, and it even made the skin on her forehead sting.
Fifteen meters, ten meters, eight meters.
When Sayato was only eight meters away from the Black Throne, she stopped and looked down at her hands. Her hands... were actually trembling unconsciously.
'You can't sit on it, otherwise everything will be over.'
As soon as this thought appeared in Sayeto's mind, she couldn't get rid of it. At this time, she looked at Su Xiao again. Su Xiao stretched her hand forward and made a gesture of invitation.
"Old ideas need to be broken, and so do rituals."
Sayato turned around and turned her back to the Black Throne. The five officials in front of her were all stunned, and some of them could not understand why Sayato said this.
"The ritual cannot be abolished!"
The old magic stick spoke in a deep voice, his eyes seemed to be filled with black mist.
"No, the ceremony is not important. I am... now the King of Black!"
Sayato's tone was firm. Of course she was not stupid and realized that there was something wrong with the throne.
"Someone is coming..."
Sayato shouted loudly, and then no soldiers rushed into the hall.
In the front hall, Zoth sat on a dozen corpses, and hundreds of black and blue crows circled in the front hall.
"What a beautiful job, tsk tsk tsk. Sina is a good woman. Do you want to marry her? If you knew what I did last night, wouldn't you kill me? It seems you already know. Oh no!"
boom!
The sound of impact spread across the palace, and the outside of the palace has turned into purgatory. The wall on one side of the palace was knocked open by a giant war beast. Ten thousand beast cavalry rushed into the palace, and crossbow arrows flew out from behind the wall like rain. Those
After the city guards fought with these border soldiers, they were almost defeated at the first touch.
"Sir, it's bad, the border guards mutinied."
A soldier wearing golden armor and his face covered in blood rushed outside the palace.
"Well, I understand, let's go down."
Trollope, the commander of the Guards Corps, spoke. If you look carefully, you can see that there seems to be a flame burning in his pupils, which is the flame of the devil.
Inside the nave.
Tick tock, tick tock...
Blood dripped down the long knife. Dozens of Wang Weijun were lying near Su Xiao, and on the other side of the hall, the old magic stick was also standing among a large number of corpses.
"Are you...preparing to seize power?"
Sayeto was holding a broken long sword. Before this, she always thought that she could kill Su Xiao in a face-to-face encounter, but after the actual fight, she found that this was a wrong judgment.
"Sir, you should sit on it. In that case, Wayne, Ander, Alfred, and Hoy wouldn't have to die. It was you who killed them."
The obese Evan spoke. He was the fourth person under Shayeto and was responsible for receiving guests in front of the manor last night.
But now, Evan's body is covered with dark tentacles, and the demonic flames are burning in his eyes.
Sayeto couldn't figure out why Evan would betray her. This was a subordinate who had been loyal to her for more than ten years. Although he was greedy and lustful, he was loyal to her. When she was assassinated, Evan even helped her to block the assassination.
arrow.
"My Lady, the Black Throne belongs to you."
After Evan said this, his body quickly cracked and exploded into large black fragments with a bang.
"you……"
Sayeto looked around at the people in the room. She really didn't expect that these people would dare to take action in the palace. This was a situation that would never end. Even if she died here today, these people would still have to bear the charge of regicide. The power of the empire
The system will break apart very quickly, and everyone will suffer consequences.
"The ceremony is really too slow. It wastes a whole morning. Sayato, you are the Black King, but you have to wait until you sit on the Black Throne."
The long knife in Su Xiao's hand pointed at the Black Throne.
"You know... what will happen if you sit there, so you give up, you are afraid!"
Sayato threw down the broken sword in her hand. Who would have thought that last night was actually the most glorious moment in her life, not today when she was crowned king.
"Your Highness, stop talking nonsense and come up."
Wulf came to Sayato and made a gesture of invitation.
"You will not die well."
Sayato kicked Wufu away. Unprepared, Wufu was kicked and staggered back a few steps.
Just when Sayato was about to fight, she found two pairs of eyes staring at her.
boom!
Blood gas and black smoke filled the nave, one on the left and one on the right. Sayato's shoulders in the middle felt heavy, and he felt extremely bad. The blood gas on the left was sharp and violent, and the black smoke on the right was strange and sticky.
"You all must die a good death!"
Sayato yelled again, and she pulled open the button on her collar. This thing made her feel uncomfortable, and she had long wanted to tear it off.
At the moment, Sayato has two choices, one is to sit on the Black Throne, and the other is to die here. She hesitated for a moment and continued to walk towards the Black Throne.
Each step was longer and heavier than each step. Whether it was an illusion or not, Sayato felt that every time she took a step closer to the Black Throne, she would age by one year.
Finally, Sayato came to the throne. She pressed her hand on the armrest of the throne, feeling the touch of metal.
The throne is what she has always pursued, but now, she is extremely resistant to the throne. She, Sayato, still has her own ideals and ambitions, and cannot be assimilated to the throne.
For some reason, after seeing the Black Throne, Sayato recalled his childhood memories. At that time, the Black King was sitting on the throne and looking at her from a distance. His eyes were doting, reluctant, and even a little guilty.
"Shaye, you are still young and don't understand what I am talking about, but you have become my descendants, and I feel deeply guilty about this. One of you will sit here one day and face the same situation as me.
Destiny, this is the price, the price of awakening those things, I should... let them sink in the sea forever. Whether the gods are wrong or I am wrong, this is not important anymore. Civilization should be discovered step by step, just like this empire clearly
Electricity already exists, but it can only be used for lighting. It could drive huge machinery, allow people to see farther, and even make steel fly into the air and fly over clouds."
Even now, Sayato cannot fully understand the Black King's words, but she understands the first half, especially the sentence, 'You have become my descendants, and I feel deeply guilty about this.'
"I am the king, and you are only worthy of kneeling at my feet."
Sayato raised his arms high and leaned back, sitting on the throne.
There was a dead silence in the middle hall, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Sayato. Sayato still kept her arms raised, sitting on the black throne. Her face was wrinkled, as if she was ready to face her fate.
"Eh~"
Sayato looked puzzled. Apart from feeling that the Black Throne was a little hard, she had no other abnormal feelings.
"Ha, hahahaha..."
Sayato laughed and pointed at Su Xiao and others with one hand.
"You guys, you guys are so ridiculous, hahaha, that's it? You put all your effort into it, and that's it?"
Sayeto was already laughing a little crazy, but soon she realized something was wrong. Su Xiao and the old magic stick were slowly retreating, while Wu Fu and the Minister of Finance seemed more like they had seen a ghost.
Su Xiao did not look at Sayeto, but was staring at the other person's head. A black mist shrouded it. If he sensed it correctly, this was Jiju Erdels, that extremely terrifying existence.
The smile on Sayeto's face gradually stiffened, and she raised her right arm, which was covered with black smoke.
"I……"
Before Sayeto finished speaking, her pupils turned pure black, and her silver hair quickly turned black.
Black armor appeared on Sayeto's body, covering her body and cheeks, and she sat quietly on the throne.
"Roar!!"
Countless roars came from the Black Throne.
'You... humble mortals!'
'The appointed day is approaching.'
'This place belongs to us, this is what was agreed upon, all living things belong to us, and they all belong to the City of Death.'
'The king... is still here, the agreed date will be three hundred years later.'
'Pure black! Extreme day! Extreme night...'
'The King of Night, on the agreed date, three hundred years from now, all living things will belong to us and to the City of Death.'
'black king.'
'The King of Day.'
'The King of the Night.'
'The Black King Adegesh belongs to us.'
'The King of Day, Erdels, belongs to us.'
