Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

That dead soil, tampered with in the incense burner, ignited the incense inside remotely through an ingenious mechanism.

Soon, a faint wisp of smoke began to fill the bedchamber. Initially, there was nothing unusual, but as the smoke grew thicker, a sense of dizziness began to creep over those within.

At that moment, the loosened structures in the rafters began to play their part.

With a slight creak, a wooden plank in the rafters began to loosen, followed by more planks falling.

The loud crash shattered the tranquility of the palace night. The collapsing rafters triggered a series of chain reactions. Cracks appeared in the walls, decorations fell, and the entire bedchamber instantly descended into chaos.

In the bedchamber, tranquility was instantly crushed, as if the world had plunged into hell.

The palace maids and guards, like startled sheep, were overwhelmed by the disaster, their eyes filled with terror. Cries for help intertwined with screams, echoing wildly in the confined space like surging waves.

The rafters seemed to be torn apart by invisible giant hands, collapsing in pieces, dust filled the air, and ferocious cracks appeared on the walls.

Debris fell like rain. A palace maid was struck in the back by a piece of wooden carving, her blood staining her palace dress red, and she screamed in agony.

A guard tried to rush towards the imperial consort, but was struck in the leg by a stone, falling like a puppet with its strings cut, his temples throbbing with pain and cold sweat pouring down.

In the chaos, people fled blindly. The smoke pouring from the incense burner, like a demon's curse, grew thicker, tightly缠绕ing everyone, eroding their senses.

Those enveloped in the smoke had blurred vision, as if trapped in a misty world. Dizziness surged through their brains like a tide, disorienting them in their panic, like pitiful insects struggling in a dark maze.

Empress Maria was dragged from her sleep by the violent shaking and noise. The apocalyptic scene pulled her back to reality the moment she opened her eyes.

She wanted to struggle to get up and escape, but the intense dizziness made her legs weak and powerless.

"Guards! Someone, come quickly!" she shouted with all her strength.

"Eileen, where are you?" Empress Maria shouted again, a glint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

Eileen had always been loyal and reliable, never absent in times of crisis, but she was nowhere to be seen today. This was too abnormal.

An ominous premonition arose in Empress Maria's heart.

At this moment, Eileen stumbled in, her face as pale as paper, her forehead covered with sweat, her hair disheveled, her body trembling, unable to even hold her sword steady, the cold light particularly dazzling in the chaotic scene.

"Your Majesty, there's poison in the bedchamber!" Her hoarse, weak voice struck like a heavy hammer.

In other parts of the palace, people were also alarmed by the great commotion.

The patrolling guards rushed towards Empress Maria's bedchamber.

The entire palace was like a hornet's nest that had been poked, plunging into chaos.

Rebar was currently hiding in a secret room not far from Maria's bedchamber, watching the chaotic scene through an observation crystal.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smug sneer.

The first step of his carefully planned scheme had succeeded. This chaos would become an important opportunity for him to seize and refine Empress Maria.

He had already begun to plan his next step in his mind, which was to kill Soren, the crown prince, in this chaos.

Rebar's gaze became even more sinister as he waited for the right moment.

Ten minutes slowly passed in Rebar's anxious wait. The originally confident man's expression gradually became puzzled.

When the palace guards rushed to Empress Maria's bedchamber, there was still no sound coming from inside, as if everyone had disappeared in an instant.

Rebar's heart skipped a beat. He immediately realized that something was wrong, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

"Could there be a flaw in the plan?" He didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately decided to evacuate from the secret room.

However, he never expected that the moment he left the secret room, a small but powerful figure appeared in the air above the secret room like a ghost.

This figure held a strange long sword that emitted a cold light, and his eyes revealed a fierce killing intent.

Before Rebar could rejoice that he had escaped in time, the short figure suddenly swung his sword down. A dazzling sword light flashed, accompanied by a loud noise. The entire secret room was instantly split open, with rubble and dust flying everywhere.

"Sword Saint!" Rebar's expression instantly turned ugly. His already sinister face was now filled with disbelief.

He never expected that there would be a Saint-level expert secretly protecting Empress Maria.

In his calculations, this operation was foolproof. Those dead soldiers were carefully selected and well-trained, and should have been able to complete the task silently.

But now, a Saint-level expert had emerged, completely disrupting his plan.

Rebar stared wide-eyed at the figure, his heart filled with confusion.

Who exactly was this guy who suddenly appeared?

He considered himself to be well-informed in this imperial capital and knew about the experts from all sides, but why had he never heard of this person's existence?

He thought to himself, could it be a hidden force secretly cultivated by Empress Maria or Soren?

Or was it a reinforcement that the royal family had brought in from somewhere else?

However, now was not the time to investigate the other party's identity. Rebar no longer hesitated and, taking advantage of the dark night, used his movement technique, quickly retreating into the distance like a black shadow.

Ten minutes ago.

Eileen, with a painful expression, stumbled towards Empress Maria before collapsing to the ground, her eyes filled with terror and weakness.

In that instant, the surrounding air seemed to freeze. Immediately afterward, a dozen figures in black emerged from the shadows like ghosts. They were dressed in black, close-fitting outfits, their faces covered with black cloth, revealing only pairs of cold, ruthless eyes, their eyes gleaming with intense killing intent, rushing towards Empress Maria and Head Maid Eileen.

Faced with this sudden and deadly threat, Empress Maria did not panic in the slightest.

With a calm expression, she quickly took out a coffin exuding a mysterious aura from her spatial ring.

The coffin looked ancient and heavy, its surface covered with strange runes, faintly emitting a mysterious power.
