Chapter 54 Palace Coup, The Night Walker Strikes
Upon hearing these words, everyone in the grand hall looked astonished, especially the Second Princess Lisa, whose face immediately darkened.
The Stellaria Commerce Guild, the financial backbone of Stellaria, contributed to over a third of Stellaria's income, which spoke for its significance.
In just a moment, Lisa calmed down.
What Leona promised was simply impossible to achieve.
Even if her father promised such benefits, Leona would never get them.
On the contrary, Leona would lose her status as a candidate for the throne because of this.
"Yes, Father, I will not fail you."
Leona bowed respectfully.
Lisa sneered, "Leona, then I congratulate you in advance on becoming the president of the Stellaria Commerce Guild."
Despite her words, the mockery in Lisa's tone was unmistakable.
"Thanks!"
Leona didn't even look at Lisa and bowed again to Rex on the throne.
"Father, I will go prepare now."
"Go ahead."
Leona took her leave and headed straight to the Poisonous Spider's spawn point.
Upon arriving, she saw Alan effortlessly dodging the Poisonous Spider King's venomous attacks with his movements.
Then, with a single arrow, he shot through the Poisonous Spider King's mouth, piercing its body.
[You have killed the Poisonous Spider King, gaining 17,658 experience points and 200 Lone Ranger Guild achievements.]
[You have leveled up to 12, gaining five free attribute points.]
[You have achieved the first kill of the Poisonous Spider King; a server-wide announcement will be made. Do you wish to hide your name?]
"No."
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Ice King for achieving the first kill of the Poisonous Spider King. Keep up the good work, players.]
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Ice King for achieving the first kill of the Poisonous Spider King. Keep up the good work, players.]
As the server-wide announcement rang out, Alan, already used to it, picked up the items dropped by the NPC and asked, "How did it go?"
"I told them," Leona answered succinctly. "And I guaranteed that if I fail, I will give up competing for the throne."
"One day," Alan said.
"What one day?" Leona was a bit confused.
"In one day, the Demon King's son Grelorin will be dead, and the news of his death will echo throughout Stellaria."
Alan's tone was calm.
Leona's eyes widened in disbelief.
'In one day?'
'To kill the sealed Grelorin?'
She even began to think that Alan was deliberately messing with her.
But she couldn't figure out why Alan would do that.
"Fine, if you can do it, I will receive a huge reward, and you will also get a huge reward," Leona said.
"Go back and wait for the news of Grelorin's death to echo throughout Stellaria," Alan said.
Leona nodded.
She had chosen Alan over Matthew in the newbie village.
This time, with such an absurd matter, she chose to trust Alan again, putting all her chips on him.
Now, she had no way out.
Or rather, she had stayed in the newbie village for so long. To compete for the throne, she had to go all in!
After Leona left, Alan silently took out the Tome of Life and Death.
He wrote Grelorin's name in the Tome of Life and Death.
Stellaria, the Abyss Well.
At the bottom of the Abyss Well, the Demon King's son Grelorin was sealed.
Now, the seal had begun to crack.
Two elders in white robes guarded this place; they were the top array masters in Stellaria.
They were constantly reinforcing the seal here.
But it was all in vain.
The primordial magic from the Demon King's bloodline was continuously eroding the seal. The fact that they had held out until now was already commendable.
After parting ways with Alan, Leona arrived here.
She wanted to see how Alan would manage to kill the sealed Grelorin.
Just as she arrived, she saw Lisa not far away.
Seeing Leona arrive, Lisa walked over with a smile. "Leona, you're here? I really want to see how you plan to kill Grelorin."
"Then keep your eyes wide open and watch closely."
Leona sat down nearby and closed her eyes to rest.
Seeing this, Lisa sneered and also sat cross-legged, not far away.
In the shadows, there were also pairs of eyes watching this place.
Grelorin was a sword hanging over Stellaria's head.
Moreover, this time, Grelorin's matter was linked to the competition for the throne.
Anyone with a bit of brain would know.
Leona wouldn't be foolish enough to kill herself by giving up the competition for the throne.
So, she must have some assurance.
However, even King Rex couldn't imagine what method Leona could use to kill the sealed Grelorin.
Therefore, they were all watching.
Watching to see what method Leona would use.
Suddenly, the faces of the two elders in white robes changed drastically as the sealing array began to tremble slightly!
An angry voice came from below the Abyss Well.
"Damn it, what have you done to me? Why is this happening!"
Grelorin, in his sealed state, was already weak, with his health bar less than a third of its peak.
And in his sealed state, he couldn't use his skills, and his passive healing couldn't be triggered.
Originally, he thought that as long as he used his primordial magic to erode the sealing array and break the seal, he could wreak havoc.
But now, he was actually starting to lose health.
[-14,654.]
[-14,654.]
The health loss was very stable—over fourteen thousand damage per second, over eight hundred thousand per minute, and fifty million per hour!
With his current health bar, he wouldn't last half an hour before dying.
"Ah!"
"Who is it? Come out, I will tear you to pieces!"
Grelorin roared continuously.
But in his sealed state, he couldn't resist at all and could only watch helplessly as his health continued to drop.
Many people around heard Grelorin's roars.
A whole bunch of eyes swiveled Leona's way, their faces a wild cocktail of shock, disbelief, and downright anger!
As for those who were angry, they were, of course, those with conflicting interests with Leona, like Lisa.
Not only that but there were also Night Walkers lurking in the palace.
Hearing the roars of their Demon King's son, they were both shocked and furious.
However, Leona, the center of attention, forced herself to remain calm, acting as if everything was under her control.
But in reality, Leona's heart was already in turmoil.
She simply couldn't imagine how Alan had done it!
After his roars, Grelorin began to panic.
He was furious but powerless.
His health bar continued to drop.
"Damn it, what are you doing? Take action!
"If you wait any longer, I'll be dead!"
Grelorin couldn't hold back any longer and began to roar in panic.
Night Walkers were lurking in the palace.
Upon hearing Grelorin's voice, they completely tore off their disguises and began to act.
Not far away, a soldier abruptly drove his sword into his companion from behind, the blade entering white and emerging red.
The stabbed soldier's eyes widened in shock, the injury and the sudden betrayal leaving him utterly stunned.
But in that moment of shock, the soldier decapitated him with a single stroke!
