Silent Crown Chapter 290

The boy’s voice sang the quiet song from the deepest darkness of the white tower. The song resounded within the dark city, snaking into everyone’s ears.

“The king and his helpers kidnapped the queen, imprisoning her in dreams We have power and the sea so which direction should we wander? Oh ho, millions of pairs of hands raise the sails high. Pull, the thieves and beggars, we’ll have eternal life The bell has already rung in the cemetery. Did you hear the eerie song? Respond to our calls, the blood debt will be paid Oh ho, raise the sails, we’ll return home. Pull, the thieves and beggars, we will be immortal in death”

Immortal in death!

Ye Qingxuan gritted his teeth. “What exactly are you planning to do?”

“That’s a second question, Mr. Holmes.” Naberius clenched his fist. A majestic melody resounded around him, calling for power from the deep abyss. “Unfortunately, you don’t get any more answers! So let us fight!”

Boom! A wind tunnel opened behind Ye Qingxuan. It hung above his head like a black vortex. The moonlight flickered like a candle in the wind. Once again, he almost suffocated from the power.

“Wait!” His face white, he raised his hand for a time out. Gritting his teeth, he squeezed out, “Mr. Naberius, I advise you to stop when you still can. I still have a killer weapon hidden. I hope you won’t force me to use it.”

“Oh? Please take it out.” Naberius laughed heartily with a joyous expression. “Now, I’ll believe you even if you say you learned destructive scores like Genesis or Ode to Joy! Is your best card Fate which the average person cannot understand? Or is it Ride of the Valkyries? Or is it Symphony No. 1819?”

“Naberius, those that you mentioned don’t have true power.” A sliver of regret flashed through Ye Qingxuan’s eyes as he sighed. “The thing more powerful than music scores iscalling for help. Butcher, get him!”

Roar! A thunderous roar exploded in the air. A chainsaw appeared out of thin air. The crude yet sharp blade was covered with layers of dried blood and shining music notes. When the raised chainsaw sliced down, it practically ripped the air. It left behind a thick bloody gash in its path. Blood spread through the air like ink and transformed into various youthful faces.

A river-like roaring sounded; it was the sound of blood pulsing through veins. The thunderous bursts transformed into a rhythm; it was the echo of an enormous heart beating heavily. There seemed to be devil bathing in lava and singing happily under the crazed melody.

“God, please give me mercy. I kneel in the river of souls, attempting to wash away the dirtiness. God, please give me salvation. I am waist-deep in curses. Can you hear my pleas? God, please give me your blessing. I am neck-deep in blood. I beg for relief”

And so the countless faces in the bloody cloud laughed and replied, “Lalala~ lalala~ lalala~”

Within an instant, the chainsaw appeared behind Naberius. There was a roar, it swelled, and it fell down!

The protective enchantments crumbled. The defensive music scores were useless. The wind tunnel that reached into the abyss was split cleanly into two by the bone saw. The overlapping music notes on the blade shone brilliantly, crushing the fine and majestic music theory; unable to heal, it broke apart completely.

Naberius’ expression changed drastically. He dodged quickly but the saw had already scraped past the face on the back of his head. It hacked down the middle, leaving an ugly wound that extended to his waist. It practically dug his spine out.

Something sharp flashed past Naberius’ eyes. Mercury-like blood flowed out of the wound. The blood contained countless aetheric changes. They revealed different properties, such as earth, water, fire, and wind. Leaving his body, the power in his blood fought against each other with destructive strength.

However, the bone saw abruptly pulled back and blocked the blood’s path. When the blood sprayed onto the saw, they were battled down by the aggressive music theory within the saw.

Shattered pieces of bloody mist flew and burned like fire. When they attached onto something, half of a menacing silhouette appeared. It was like a dragon hiding in gray cloudsit only revealed half a claw and more dangerous objects hidden in the darkness.

Even though it was attacked, its disguise was still intact. This was the highest level of Illusion scores. Its effect has entered the rules of nature through resonance. This was at least at the Distortion level!

“When” Naberius scurried back, trembling with chills.

“Since the beginning,” Ye Qingxuan stated coolly. “You practically creamed me last time. Did you think that I wouldn’t have learned my lesson?”

Lola had put the highest level illusion onto the Butcher so he could follow Ye Qingxuan into Avalon’s Shadow. The Shaman paid for the Butcher’s fee and the materials needed for the illusion. Not only did Ye Qingxuan have a helper, he also helped the profiteer Lola earn some extra pocket money.

He had hired the Butcher this time just to deal with Naberius and the Robin. He had fooled everyone by hiding him. Other than at the entrance of the tower, the Butcher did not do anything else.

Ye Qingxuan had not asked for help even when he was close to dying. The Butcher had been calmly watching by the side too. He had hidden his murderous intent while watching Ye Qingxuan practically get killed. It was as if he had not existed. But now, he burst into action and practically dazed Naberius with one strike. However, the Butcher was still hidden in the emptiness. He only revealed fleeting and terrifying shadows.

This beast was wearing armor like the archangel armor. However, the armor was black and much bigger and menacing. As if it was made of sharp raw metal, it spewed out scalding evaporated gas as he moved. The sharp sound melded into the music scores on his body, causing the singing to grow more frenzied. One could make out the emblem that had been scraped away on the shoulder of the armor.

“St. George’s Spear? This armor is fromthe Dragonriders?” Clenching his jaw, Naberius forced out a smile. “I know you. You’re the Butcherhaha! I didn’t expect to see the results that Gaius had left behind! It seems that you’ve been transformed many times, right? How much demon blood do you have in you? You look more like a beast than I do now”

The Butcher remained silent. Mournful red light shone from the eyes under the helmet. There was the sound of metal scraping, like a sword being unsheathed. The silhouette of a huge blade appeared in the air. The chaotic aether waves on the blade could barely remain hidden by the illusion.

Merely its appearance could make any living thing feel the pain of its flesh separating from bone. The bone saw and blade knocked against each other crisply like a beast lusting for blood’s gratification.

The thin youth raised his hand before the Butcher’s fierce silhouette. He steadied his hat and revealed his taunting eyes. “Using your wordsnext, let us fight!” As soon as he spoke, the halo of moonlight brightened and the cold light bathed the surroundings. The Butcher roared and charged with the youth.

Naberius growled angrily. His two faces chanted simultaneously, the muscles on his spine writhed, and his two hands shot out. It was hard to fight against two enemies so he added another pair of hands!

Blades of wind and swords of fire materialized in his hands. Destructive light surged around him. He guided the aether and darkness flowed like a tide. Power from the abyss re-appeared, transforming him into the physical incarnate of destruction.

The originally vast room began extremely cramped in this terrifying battle. Within a few rounds, it was already covered in traumata and broken walls. Naberius had been smashed into the freezing storage room and began to fight amongst the rotten food!

The Butcher countered Naberius’ strength directly. He had been the best fighter of the Dragonriders and fought with natural catastrophes. Now, this executioner released the wild power from before. Under Hermes’s customized armor, his blood flowed like lava, turning him into a beast.

A beast fighting a beast!

A demon killing a demon!

It was the clashing of pure strength and the pursuit of destruction. The saw raised gales of wind and grew more powerful under the music score. It could face Naberius at his strongest state! They were fighting forcefully!

Amidst the illogically-powerful battle, everything between them broke, shattered, crumbled, and turned to dust.

Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop!

Even the recruiter Ye Qingxuan had never seen the Butcher fight with his all before. Naberius retreated continuously under the wild power. However, Ye Qingxuan’s floating moonlight continued to help the Butcher. Moonlight stretched from his body and latched onto the Butcher and Naberius.

He read, analyzed, reacted, decodedhe saw each and every move from the two and added his own strength when needed. Moonlight, thunder, hallucination, hints

The relentless power was an obstacle for Naberius. The endless eroding moonlight caused him to struggle. How was this an exhilarating fight? This was torturous like being skinned alive slowly.

He grew furious. Everyone who fought against Ye Qingxuan had felt the same pain. It was like sinking into a quagmire. No amount of power was effective. Under the relentless attacks, he retreated gradually. He could only watch as he sank powerlessly and slowly into the quicksand.

Suddenly standing still, he forced the Butcher back and roared to the air. His voice contained the calls from the abyss and it spread instantly. He rang the black bell in his hand.

“Which demon are you trying to call?” Ye Qingxuan knew what he wanted to do. “It’s useless!”

Rather than retreating, he grasped this chance and charged with the Butcher again. He completely controlled the rhythm of the fight now.

Naberius froze. He rang the bell again but Malpas did not appear no matter how the bell echoed.

Seeing his confused eyes, Ye Qingxuan smirked. “Did you notice thattoday’s moon is really big and really round?”

The Blue Moon hung high outside the hole in the wall. Like water, the moonlight turned this world into an ocean. If one looked from the ‘bottom of the sea,’ one would discover that ripples of light appeared above the ‘sea,’ above the layers of clouds.

An illusionary laugh sounded amongst the ripples. It was light like a dream.

Endless snow and hallucinations came through the dream.
