YM778.TV Chapter 582 Meh, It Was Nothing.
Riona stepped back a little, she was just a moment away from taking out her weapon. Of course, she knew she wouldn\'t be able to do anything against Amletus, however, she could at least attack Amletus till the point Amaya has time to escape.
"Heh, did you really think I was someone like Eardwolf?" Amletus questioned with a laugh. However, his expression was anything but funny.
Riona was now even tenser.
"Haahh…"
Amaya, on the other hand, sighed.
It looked as if a big responsibility was removed from her shoulders.
"It was getting more and more troublesome. Your lips are tighter than normal people, I barely got anything after talking for so long, but I guess that can be expected from an Emperor who had been ruling for such a long time."
Amaya massaged her right shoulder, then, her expression turned serious as she glanced at Amletus.
"Alright then, I will stop playing around and will be direct.
I already know you are involved with Herms, what I don\'t understand, however, is that why are you supporting him? His plan of using the treaty to get rid of Alcimus has already failed.
So even if you two come together, you would need to fight against Alcimus and Lady Astaria, there is no way it would be an easy fight.
So why bother helping him?
Is it because of useless friendship or…
Do you have another trump card that you are holding?"
"What are you talking about, girl?
I already told you that the Emperors cannot fig-"
"The Mythical Creature is dead. We know that already." Amaya interrupted.
"…"
Amletus turned silent.
Riona frowned as well.
Amaya continued to look at Amletus.
"Heh." Suddenly, Amletus laughed.
"To think you already know about all this.
Is it safe to assume that you are on Astaria\'s side?"
Amletus questioned.
"Not exactly, but you can say that. Yes."
Amaya nodded.
"And you?" Amletus questioned as he turned towards Riona.
"I am only on my Daughter\'s side, anything else does not matter," Riona replied.
"Good good." Amletus laughed.
"You still haven\'t answered any of my questions yet," Amaya spoke.
"And why do you think I would answer your questions?" Amletus questioned.
"Is it another Emperor Stage Cultivator? Is that why you are so confident?" Amaya questioned back.
"Heh, you really think I will answer your questions huh." Amletus just smiled.
"Actually, I am even surprised that you are here all by yourself, that is quite gutsy, I will admit." Amletus\'s expression turned fiercer,
"Without that bitch Astaria protecting you, do you think you can survive in front of me? Or did you think I would not kill you because of our relationship or that stupid Technique of yours?"
He questioned.
"…"
Amaya didn\'t say anything.
"Heeeh? Why are you all silent now? Are you scared?" Amletus\'s smile turned demonic.
"…"
Amaya didn\'t reply.
"To think you won\'t even say anything. That is quite the change. I guess you still hold your life quite dearly, well, you are young, so I won\'t blame you.
How about this?
You give me the technique and I will give you and your mother a painless, quick death. Hmmm? What do you think? A good deal, right?"
"H-How about you tell me about what you are hiding and I give you the technique?" Amaya questioned back.
She was trying to keep a brave front, however, her stuttering gave her away.
She was panicking, she was scared.
Seeing that, Riona\'s sword appeared in her hand, however, before she could even attack,
*Whoosh*
*Bam*
Her body flew back and crashed onto the wall.
"Mother!"
Amaya\'s expression changed as she quickly rushed towards Riona.
"R-Run." Riona spoke weakly.
"My offer is still valid, girl.
Give me the technique and I will give you two a painless death.
Don\'t test me, I am quite good when it comes to torture." Amletus smiled.
"I really regret it…"
Amaya muttered.
"Hmm? What do you regret?" Amletus questioned.
"If only I was strong enough…" Amaya replied.
"Hahaha~ Don\'t worry, you are plenty strong for your age. With your talent, if you continue, you might even become as strong as me.
But you are correct, you are indeed not strong enough.
Talent doesn\'t matter if you are dead after all. Hahaha~"
Amletus laughed.
"Anyways,
Last chance girl.
Give me the technique and I wil-"
Suddenly, Amletus\'s expression changed.
\'Huh?\'
He frowned.
\'W-What happened?\'
He couldn\'t understand.
His world was turning upside down and everything was moving upward.
\'H-Huh?\'
"If only we were strong enough, capturing you alive would have been much more advantageous."
He then heard Amaya\'s voice and suddenly,
*Thud*
His head dropped to the ground.
He was dead.
Without even knowing how he died.
\'An Emperor is only strong because he has the ability to control the Mana around him, if that ability is taken away, he would be nothing more than a slightly stronger King Stage Cultivator.
So if you, who are an absurdly strong King Stage Cultivator, somehow manage to take on an Emperor Stage Cultivator by surprise, you have a chance to kill him.
Of course, taking him by surprise would not be as simple as it sounds.
Defeating Emperors is not that simple.\'
"Meh, she was entirely correct.
Emperors aren\'t that big of a deal."
Nux commented.
"It would have been better if we could get something out of his mouth though…" Amaya replied.
"Well, not everything goes as planned, now does it?" Nux smiled.
"At the very least, Herms is now alone.
We used the advantage we had and got rid of 1 Emperor Stage Cultivator.
Now, all we have to do is make Alcimus fight against Herms and watch what happens."
"Mhm, it would be a lot easier, that is correct." Amaya nodded.
"W-W-Wait! H-H-H-How W-What, What is happening!?"
Riona, who just witnessed the murder of the strongest person in her Kingdom couldn\'t help but widen her eyes in shock.
"H-How did you kill him!?"
"Meh, it was nothing.
Don\'t act so surprised, mother-in-law."
Nux shrugged.
