scepter

Everyone stared at the water basin in front of Alexander with bated breath.

If the water doesn't change color, it means that he didn't lie at all, Yannick's purpose will be completely defeated, and the defense of clearing himself of suspicion will become a joke.

Like everyone else, Yannick's eyes were also fixed on Alexander's hand.

As the fingertips touched the water, then the knuckles, until the entire palm was submerged in the water, the scene that everyone expected did not appear, the water was still clear water, and the color did not change at all.

A look of color flashed across Alexander's face, but what he said was very sincere: "Your Excellency Hill, you should know by now that I didn't lie at all..."

However, before he finished speaking, Alexander suddenly felt a little itchy on his skin. He lowered his head naturally, only to see that his hand was splitting open at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Under the epidermis, the red flesh and blood cracked from below as if some kind of expansion agent had been applied. Then, the cracked skin quickly spread from the back of the hand, the arm, to the whole body, and the cracks appeared on Alexander's body like a dry surface. On the skin, an upright and steady face was soon covered with red cracks.

Under the thin skin, the blue and red veins throbbed violently, unwilling to be lonely and scrambling to release from the shackles of the skin. As the epidermis burst, Alexander's body also underwent amazing changes.

Clothes were torn apart by the swollen body, his height began to grow inch by inch, his face, neck, and even limbs became tall and thick, until...

Everyone was shocked to see Alexander complete the transformation from a normal person to a monster.

In the silent venue, whoever screamed first, followed by horrifying screams, people stood up from their seats, and the nobles who usually had to pay attention to their posture even when they walked a step had completely ignored them. Those damn manners, scrambling to run to the door.

They can run. As the emperor, Alfonso VIII cannot panic like other nobles. His reaction is not slow. When Alexander changed, he had already stood up and pointed at "Alexander" and shouted: "Catch him!"

However, the guards clearly showed fearful expressions. Facing a huge and terrifying monster that was nearly twice the height of a normal man, it was completely normal for them to feel fear or fright.

Alexander, no, it should be said that the monster disguised as Alexander roared. At this time, he also found out that he had been fooled by Yannick.

This water is not water to test lies at all, but a potion that can make monsters appear!

After the monster realized that he had been deceived, his blood-red eyeballs slowly turned, and found that the culprit was too far away, so he retreated to the next best thing, and the anger of being deceived had to fall on the nearest guard.

"Leave quickly!" Simon yelled at the soldier in a deep voice. His staff had already aimed at the monster's feet, and the ground cracked inch by inch with the swing of the staff, trapping the monster's feet inside, slowing down The advancing speed of the monster also bought time for the guards to escape.

But the guard was frightened by the monster's stare, and his legs were already weakened. Not to mention running away, he even had a little difficulty taking a step. Smile, and quickly pinch the guard's neck from behind.

With a click, the guard's head was completely screwed off!

A lot of blood gushed out from the neck that lost the support of the head, and the monster directly grabbed the head and stuffed it into its mouth, making a chewing sound while staring at Simon and Yannick with malicious eyes, full of provocation.White brains mixed with red blood snaked down the corner of the mouth, causing those who were lucky enough to watch the monster eat people at close range to scream even louder.

Among the nobles present this time, there are many noble mages, and even some high-ranking mages. They are braver than ordinary nobles. At least they did not fight to escape. Watching the monster eat a person's head raw, this kind of scene is really a great stimulation and shock to the soul. Several people couldn't hold it on the spot, turned around and vomited.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is too dangerous, please leave immediately!"

Beside Alfonso VIII, his attendants were persuading His Majesty the Emperor who was staring at the scene.

"With Simon here, there will be no danger. He can deal with that monster!" His Majesty the Emperor interrupted them impatiently.

"But His Excellency Fa Sheng's magic can't even restrain him... Oh my god, my god, he's eating people!" The attendants around screamed at first, and then vomited.

Alfonso VIII didn't hide his shock on his face. He didn't expect that today's so-called defense scene, which was originally like a farce, would take an unexpected turn.Was this Alexander disguised as a monster from the beginning?If he didn't kill Orthea to provoke the relationship between the Charlemagne Empire and the Garter Empire, but instead killed me in the first place, even I couldn't escape, right?

With this realization, His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been fearless, suddenly felt a chill of fear rise up his spine.

Little did he know that this was why Yannick insisted on defending himself in public. Even though he knew that there were uncontrollable risks, only in this way could everyone, especially the self-willed King Alfonso VIII, see it with his own eyes. Seeing the cunning and power of the monster, he also knew that his behavior of obsessing over the struggle between the two countries regardless of human survival was completely in the hands of the monster.

Just when the monster was gnawing on the human brain, Simon and Yannick had already cast several spells at the same time. The former was the improved earth spear technique and petrification technique, and the latter was the radiance of light and shroud of holy light.

Originally, in terms of magical lethality, soil spear and petrification would definitely not be Simon's first choice, but because there were many ordinary people present besides them, especially the guards scattered around the venue and His Majesty the Emperor, this As a result, Simon has no way to directly use the large-scale magic of the sky and the earth.

White light shrouded the monster's body, and the stones turned into sharp earth spears were controlled by an invisible hand, and they were projected towards the monster one after another. However, the flesh of the monster seemed to be much tougher than that of humans, and the petrification technique only made his body a little bit weaker. The movement was blocked for a while, and the stone spear and the bright light only left some scars on the surface of his skin, and could not hurt the root of the monster.

This scene made many people tremble with fear. Some people who were planning to wait and see became pessimistic. They felt that this game was over, and even the Holy Spirit could not deal with the monsters.

Seeing that the monster was moving quickly, and took a few steps to grab them, Simon took a few steps back without panic, holding the staff with both hands and pushing it forward.

All of a sudden, from his feet, the flat stone slabs cracked and floated, forming a "stone wall" controlled by the airflow between him and the monster, and then rushed towards the monster like a huge wave. The monsters drowned.

The monster roared under the pile of stones. Yannick was worried that he would break free and escape, so he added a few more lights, and he didn't stop until the light of the red magic crystal on the top of the staff gradually faded.

The roar under the stone pile became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared.

However, Yannick did not dare to be careless. He gave Simon a look, and the two approached the stone pile together.

Simon coughed lightly, emphasizing his tone: "It seems that he is dead."

Yannick: "Yes, under such a high-intensity magical attack, I don't think any creature can survive..."

At this time, they were only five or six steps away from the stone pile. Before Yanick finished speaking, he heard a loud bang from under the stone pile, and a blood-red figure sprang out from it, but the target was not Simon or Yarnick. Nick, but Alfonso VIII standing in the stands!

Although the monsters were huge, their speed was very fast. The attendants around His Majesty were completely frightened and dumbfounded. There was no time to react, and they could only watch the tall figure getting closer and closer!

From Simon and Yannick's approach to the stone pile to this sudden change, it took only a few seconds!

But for Simon and Yannick, who had been prepared for a long time, the reason why they approached the stone pile just now was to test whether the monster was really dead, and now they can attack as much as they want.

"Goddess of the earth, please listen to my prayers, fully demonstrate your power, and let mortals see your majesty. No matter where my staff points, the enemies of the earth will be destroyed forever!"

As expected of a mage at the level of a holy man, Simon's spells were recited extremely fast, so fast that others couldn't hear them clearly. He had already seen a gray whirlwind hanging from his staff, and with the whirlwind, the ground shook violently. The broken stones were summoned again just now, turned into sharp blades and scraped towards the monster, wrapped him up again, and then twisted tighter and tighter, until the monster roared painfully inside, and the stones seeped out. A thin layer of blood mist.

Simon raised his staff, and the stones fell down along with the crushed flesh.

The monster that was aggressive a moment ago has turned into a pile of flesh and blood that rots like stones, with no bones left.

Simon looked around at the dull expressions of many people present, sighed, and put away his staff.

This magic is too domineering, and the effect it causes is quite terrifying. He didn't intend to use it at first, but in the situation just now, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"You're right, monsters are indeed cunning and difficult creatures." The sweaty old Fasheng said to Yanick.

If they hadn't kept an eye out just now and made another trial on purpose, it is estimated that they may have been plotted by the monster by now.

Because of the excessive consumption of magic power, Yannick's face is not very good-looking: "Their intelligence is similar to that of humans, but according to my observation, their abilities seem to be different."

Simon patted him on the shoulder: "Anyway, you proved your conjecture, Alfonso VIII should not embarrass you anymore, this is finally something worth celebrating."

Yannick smiled wryly: "My difficulties never came from His Majesty the Emperor, I'm afraid that the test for me has just begun!"
