Chapter 326
The giant, circular cage of black iron shields was completely closed. Fifty thousand Imperial Soldiers surrounded the center of the arena. They stood shoulder to shoulder, stacking their heavy metal shields three rows high. Ten thousand sharp silver spears pointed inward. They created a solid, inescapable wall of steel and fear. Inside the cage, the air was incredibly hot. It smelled of old sweat, melted glass, and dark magic. Patriarch Valerius knelt on the ruined floor. His heavy golden armor was cracked. His long white beard was stained with dark red blood. He had dropped his broken battleaxe. He looked at the iron shields around him. He realized that his own grandson, the Emperor, had locked him inside this cage to die. The old man bowed his head. He was ready for the execution. He was ready for the Graveyard King to cut his head off. Lucien stood in the center of the cage. He wore his terrifying, pitch-black [Abyssal Armor State]. The dark, jagged crystals pulsed with glowi
Chapter 325
The shields fit perfectly together like puzzle pieces, creating a solid, unbroken wall of dark metal. Then, a second row of soldiers stepped up behind the first. They raised their heavy shields, resting them on top of the first row. Then a third row. In less than three minutes, an impossible, terrifying structure had been built inside the arena. The Imperial Army had formed a colossal, multi-layered shield-wall. It was thirty feet high. It completely surrounded the center of the arena in a perfect, inescapable circle. From the gaps between the heavy iron shields, ten thousand long, sharp, silver spears were thrust forward, pointing directly inward at Lucien. The spears bristled like the deadly quills of a giant, metal porcupine. Lucien and Patriarch Valerius were completely, totally trapped. They were locked inside a cage of solid steel, surrounded by fifty thousand elite, mindless, obedient soldiers. It was a literal coliseum built entirely out of men and metal. The crowd in t

Serephina stepped backward off the wooden railing. She landed softly on the dirt floor of the pit. She lowered Winter’s Howl. "Stand down," Seraphina ordered her students. Her voice shook, but she forced herself to sound strong. "Do not jump into the ring."Kai looked at her in total shock. "But Sect Master! They are going to surround him! We have to help!""No," Seraphina said firmly. She wiped a tear from her cheek. "We hold the perimeter. If any guard tries to attack our box, we kill them. But we do not step onto the sand. This is his fight. We must let him finish it."The disciples looked sad and confused, but they obeyed. They lowered their swords and formed a tight circle around the edge of the pit, watching the arena with wide, terrified eyes. Up in the Royal Box, the Emperor was having a complete mental breakdown. The Emperor saw the mercenaries drawing their swords in the stands. He saw the Silver Wolf Clan rebelling. He saw Patriarch Valerius bleeding in the dirt, complet

The dark, freezing fog of the Abyssal Frost instantly poured out of the blade. The temperature in the Coach's Box dropped to freezing. Thick white frost covered the wooden floorboards. "Sect Master?" Kai asked, his smile fading quickly. He looked at her drawn sword. "What is wrong?""The Emperor is angry, Kai," Seraphina said coldly. Her eyes were locked onto the white sand of the arena. "He is going to cheat again. He is going to send his hidden army. I will not let Lucien fight them alone."Seraphina raised her voice. "Cloud-Soaring Sect! Draw your weapons!"The three hundred young disciples did not hesitate for a single second. They drew their plain steel swords.They stood tall. They were covered in dirt and old sweat, but their eyes burned with fierce, unbreakable loyalty. "We jump into the sand on my command," Seraphina ordered. She stepped up onto the wooden railing, preparing to leap down into the melted glass crater to stand beside the Graveyard King. She was ready to die w
Chapter 322
They watched the Crown Prince turn into a crying, mutated monster. They watched the Golden Sword Saint die. And now, they watched the oldest, strongest Patriarch in the Empire get swatted down like a weak, tired dog. A group of fifty Imperial Guards, wearing shiny silver armor, ran up the stone stairs toward the mercenary section. The captain of the guards looked completely panicked. He was sweating heavily. He pointed his sharp spear at Garet, the huge, scarred leader of the largest mercenary guild in the city. "Garet!" the guard captain shouted, his voice cracking with fear. "In the name of the Emperor! You must order your mercenaries to draw their bows! We must shoot the beggar! We must save the Patriarch!"Garet stood up from his wooden bench. He was a massive man covered in old battle scars. He wore thick brown leather armor. Garet looked down at the sweating, terrified guard captain. Then, Garet looked out at the arena. He looked at Lucien’s tall, dark, proud back. He saw th
Chapter 321
The massive, spinning, blood-red blades of the Emperor’s Guillotine fell from the sky. Patriarch Valerius swung the giant battleaxe down with every single drop of his remaining life-force. He had trapped Lucien inside the glowing, red magical cage. There was nowhere to run. There was nowhere to hide. The old man screamed with insane, desperate hope. He was going to chop the Graveyard King completely in half. The millions of people in the Imperial Arena held their breath. Down in the small, red, glowing box of solid light, Lucien looked up. He saw the giant, spinning blades coming directly at his face. The heat of the corrupted holy magic was intense. It smelled like burning blood and rusted iron. Lucien did not panic. He did not look for a way out. He simply dropped his pitch-black iron sword. The sword hit the hot glass floor with a loud clank. Lucien raised his two empty hands high into the air. He did not use a magical shield. He did not call for his shadows. He used his raw
