Chapter 488: Chapter 27 The King is the Nation! (4.5k)

Survivors of a catastrophe.

Helen woke with a start from her trance, her nose tingling, she buried her head in the embrace of the figure before her, venting her fear and excitement.

“I thought I might never see you again!”

“It’s all right, it’s all right…”

Luo En gently patted the girl’s back, comforting her softly, then looked up towards the distant courtyard.

Dozens of commoners, both old and young, clutched kitchen utensils and farming tools they had picked up, standing tentatively at the open door, wishing to come out in groups to help.

“Did you save these people?” Luo En asked, shifting Helen’s attention.

“Not really…” Helen replied softly, then realizing the situation was too public, hurriedly stood up from Luo En’s arms, and said with a tinge of shyness, “I saw they had nowhere to go and it was dangerous outside, so I let them in to take shelter.”

Suddenly, a look of trepidation appeared on the girl’s face.

“I didn’t stay inside as told, and even let strangers in, you won’t blame me, will you?”

“How could we? In times of emergency, you have to make quick decisions. You did well, and we are proud of you!”

Luo En smiled slightly, raised his hand to ruffle Helen’s drooping little head, responding with gravity.

No matter how Helen was judged in her original fate, at this moment, her deeds made her worthy of her demigod heritage, as well as a hero’s status.

The fact that she stood up at the crucial moment to help the weak with her strength was enough for Luo En to completely revise his opinion of this woman, who he had previously regarded as a calamity, and to gain respect for her.

Flattered by the praise from the one she admired, Helen’s face flushed red.

Just as the girl was mustering the courage to share more of her feelings with the person before her, the grating sound of bone friction once again filled the air.

At the same time, the corner of the blood-red cloud in the sky that had been torn apart came together and began to swirl again.

“The Royal Palace Astrological Observatory! The convergence point is there!”

Atalanta jumped down from the eaves and conveyed her observations to Luo En.

Luo En nodded, then his expression turned serious as he gave Helen his instructions.

“Take these clear-headed people into that courtyard. I’ve set up a protective spell inside; it will be very safe. So without my permission, don’t come out!”

“Okay!”

Helen, holding her magic wand, nodded earnestly.

At this moment, the girl finally understood where the golden light that blocked out external corruption at the door had come from.

He really does care about me!

Feeling the delicate care released invisibly by the other party, and under the influence of the heroism and rescue, Helen’s heart overflowed with sweetness, and her self-conquest progressed further.

“You go and do what you need to; I will protect them here!”

The girl stood tall, clutching her still sweat-dampened magic wand, solemnly making a promise to leave a better impression on her beloved.

“Be careful then,” Luo En said, nodding to Helen and watching as several people entered the small courtyard safely.

This simple courtesy turned Helen’s pretty face even redder as she determinedly chose to enter last, her resolute expression bearing a tinge of willingness to embrace death.

Unfortunately, Luo En clearly had no mood to pay much attention to Helen’s nuances, and once he made sure everyone was safe, he decisively left with Atalanta towards the center of the city, to Arcadia Royal Palace.

Standing alone by the courtyard door, Helen watched the two figures walking side by side, shielding each other, her eyes filled with envy and longing.

~~

At this very moment, because the Arcadia Royal City’s foundation had been twisted by the grand ritual spell of astrology, the entire city was gradually being transformed into the Netherworld.

Dense skeletons and patrolling spirits crawled out of the cracks in the ground, attempting to hunt living beings to fill the void of death within them.

“Back off!”

With a cold shout, a white blaze burst into flames around Luo En, and waves of light ripples spread outward.

All skeletons and spirits that touched these ripples came to a halt, the deathly aura surrounding them dissipating as snow before the sun, melting away instantly. The hateful and frenzied spirits also became calmer under the influence of the light.

Amid the pure white light, what they saw is unknown, but their lips curled into a contented and joyful smile, as their last lingering regrets drifted away with the wind.

As Luo En and Atalanta passed through the streets, the skeletons and spirits behind them crumbled away, merging back into the grey-black mist of death.

All things must return to dust, and to the earth.

Before long, Luo En’s forceful path-opening led them swiftly to the gates of the Royal Palace.

However, the landmark building of Arcadia had been completely transformed.

The dark red and turbid yellow Stygian waters flowed over the ground and buildings in manners that defied the laws of physics, twining and surging.

Faces twisted with malice boiled and screamed within the water and mist, as if welcoming the coming of their king.

So noisy!

Luo En scoffed, spear in hand, swung forward, and the bronze gate made of steel shattered like tofu. The Stygian Water and Netherworld spirits wrapped around it dissipated into nothing.

But in the next moment, dozens of the Divine Blood Guard, clad in bronze armor and armed with spears and shields, leaped from beyond the door, issuing a mad roar in unison.

“Immortality!”

“Immortality!!”

“Immortality!!!”

Luo En swept a glance over them, noticing the swollen, deformed limbs, and the deathly aura under the armor. He shook his head to Atalanta, signaling a warning.
