Chapter 1079: Chapter 807: Don’t Call Me That, Mad Dog
"Stop!"
Over here, when Reiger and his companions arrived in front of Solok’s palace gates, several knights immediately blocked their way.
These knights, just like those guarding outside Liz’s chamber, all wore the True Knight Medal.
But...
"Hmm?"
Reiger, whose path was blocked, lifted his eyes and glanced at the knights.
"...!"
The knights immediately felt a chill in their hearts, a sense of impending doom welling up inside them.
They naturally knew the reason for this.
Who is this boy before them?
The youngest Sword Saint in the history of the Kingdom of Jinas, and even the youngest Sword Saint in the history of the continent.
Now they are attempting to stop a Sword Saint—could this not spell disaster?
But duty-bound, the knights still braced themselves against Reiger’s gaze, unwilling to retreat.
"Ahead is the chamber of His Highness, the Third Prince Solok Jinas, we ask that you refrain from entering without permission, sirs."
The leading Knight Captain respectfully saluted Reiger, Yuloli, and Liz.
"We are here to visit Prince Solok." Reiger said indifferently, "Please step aside."
"This..." the Knight Captain hesitated, "Prince Solok is currently recuperating and is not in a state to receive guests."
"It’s fine." Reiger silently smiled, though it was unclear what emotion he held, and said to the Knight Captain, "I happen to be a magician myself, one skilled in healing magic, and I can conveniently take a look at the Prince’s injuries."
This, the Knight Captain only half believed.
The fact that the Thunder Light Sword Saint is both a swordsman and a magician is well known throughout the kingdom.
That he knows healing magic, the Knight Captain also believes.
But the notion that he came to treat Solok’s wounds, the Knight Captain would not believe by any means.
Though he did not know the reason Solok ended up in his current state was Reiger’s doing, it was common knowledge among the nobility that the Third Prince Solok and Thunder Light Sword Saint Reiger Brillhaut did not get along.
So, to say the other party came to treat Prince Solok, the Knight Captain would not believe it at all.
At that moment, he prepared to utter words of refusal once more.
However, before he could speak, the knights, led by the Knight Captain, were astonished to discover that they suddenly could not move.
"You..."
The Knight Captain looked at Reiger in shock.
In Reiger’s eyes, fixed upon the knights, there was a mysterious glow of magical power.
———[Evil Gaze].
Reiger had activated a gaze magic that could inflict various selectable negative effects upon enemies, applying the "binding" state onto the knights.
Since returning from the Earth Mistake World, Reiger no longer absorbed excess power with the Hero’s Ring, nor did he deactivate the effects of the various items worn on his body.
Under such circumstances, with Reiger’s current level, plus the development abilities like "Magic Guidance" and "Magic Chanting" as support, and the enhanced amplification from Morgan’s Ring, a few equivalent to Lv.5 True Knights were still easily bound by him.
So, the magical glow in Reiger’s eyes began to fade.
"Then shall we go in?"
Leaving these words, Reiger strode into the grand palace.
Liz, Yuloli, and Luna quickly followed.
"Um... Master..."
Walking down the hallway of the grand palace, Liz spoke out with some unease.
She wanted to know why Reiger suddenly wanted to visit Solok.
"Don’t ask for now." Reiger knew what Liz meant, and said, "You’ll understand what’s happening afterward."
Saying this, Reiger led the group to where Solok was located.
Along the way, they did not encounter anyone.
Whether knights, servants, or maids, in such a huge palace, not even one person could be seen, which indeed felt a bit bizarre.
But just by catching the faint scent of blood in the air and the slight, indelible bloodstains on the floor and walls, one would understand why no one wanted to stay here.
The interior of this palace was no longer just a palace, but seemed like the innards of a giant beast, the air thick and heavy, making one want to keep their distance.
"This place is so scary..."
Luna couldn’t help but hug her arms, rubbing them, as if shivering all over.
"It’s okay, Luna." Liz comforted Luna, saying, "The master is here."
Luna glanced at Reiger and felt the chill lift considerably.
No matter how you looked at it, having a Sword Saint accompany them provided a sense of security.
Hence, even if she didn’t want to admit it, Luna understood that Reiger’s presence gave her significant courage.
Among the three girls, perhaps only Yuloli still seemed as usual, even starting to doze off.
If Liz wasn’t holding onto her, this vampire girl would likely fall down and sleep on the spot, wouldn’t she?
Actually, Reiger was quite curious about how strong this girl truly was.
Back in the mausoleum chamber of the ruins, Yuloli had effortlessly suppressed Reiger, who was still at Lv.7, and injured him in one move.
Even though Reiger was only Lv.7 at that time, his battle prowess would not lose to Lv.8.
But even so, facing someone whose combat power matched Lv.8, Yuloli injured him in just one move. This left Reiger always uncertain of this vampire girl’s strength limit.
