"Heh heh…"
Maxwell started chuckling gloomily. "Now the only ones left are going to be just you and me."
Anthony's expression turned serious. He cried out "Your Majesty" a few more times, but Arthur didn't even turn around. He now understood that Maxwell had a more important position than he did inside Arthur's heart. It couldn't be changed even if he were an in-law to the king.
Can Arthur even do anything to Maxwell since he was someone favoured by the old ancestor?
If we took a few steps back to analyse this…
Maxwell's influence on the Evans Kingdom was much stronger than Anthony's.
Anthony was merely a head supervisor of the civil ministers, and any random person could be promoted in the Minister's Court to replace him. This world was ruled by martial might, and he wasn't like some Saint rank expert.
Anthony had a very ugly look on his face while he slowly got up. He coldly glared at Maxwell before angrily reprimanding: "What do you plan on doing?!"
Maxwell shrugged and said, "Nothing much, it's just to kill you."
"Just based on you?!"
Anthony's body faintly shook.
The time it takes for a spark to ignite from a flint…
His robes started ruffling as his level 3 King rank powers exploded out. His figure was already moving while a small dagger containing dark energy was taken out from within his robe. The dagger stabbed towards Maxwell as he shouted, "Go to hell!"
Maxwell's figure moved.
The rage inside his heart was bursting out.
Anthony had to die.
Otherwise, he will continue to hire assassins and may even make a move against the Gillette Household in Eden City. There's no way Maxwell will allow someone like him to continue living in this world. Moreover, Maxwell still hadn't killed any spawned beasts after gaining the 100 points of luck. Even though it was a human right now, Maxwell was wondering how powerful the luck attribute would be.
Maxwell's heart coldly chuckled: "I can precisely use you as a test subject!"
His right fist started moving, and the strength of a level 4 King ranker exploded forth.
The strength of a level 4 King ranker was obviously weaker than that of a level 3 King ranker.
But…
The one in fear was Anthony, while Maxwell had a very calm-looking face. Maxwell then stared at Anthony before shouting inside his mind: "Level 4 Overdrive!"
"Boom!"
His might increased by 16 times as his attributes exploded forth. The aura around Maxwell changed drastically, and the shockwave it caused rang through the audience hall. Before Anthony was able to stab forth, Maxwell's figure disappeared before appearing up in the air with a shout: "Antony Hernandez, you damn old dog! Lie down for me!"
His right fist started moving…
Coming down from a high altitude, his fist directly smashed into Anthony's head.
"Bam!"
Anthony instantly became a dead dog! He crumpled onto the ground while covering the ground with his own blood.
Instant kill!
At this moment, the system gave off a notification tone.
Maxwell didn't have much hope, since Anthony was only at the King rank. He wasn't even considered an elite monster, so most likely nothing good will explode from his corpse.
"Crackle!"
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for killing Anthony Hernandez."
"Reward: 12,000 XP, 2000 mana…"
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining the Nightshade Dagger."
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining Revelation's Blood."
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining the Extreme Divine Pearl."
"Huh?"
Maxwell was faintly stunned. "So much stuff exploded from this old guy? The Nightshade Dagger is actually an earth-grade upgrade weapon, and it also possesses a darkness attribute. This thing is really not bad!"
"Revelation's Blood?"
"Dracula, do you know what this is? Is it connected with the Revelation's Key? Could it be another item used to open up the ancient treasure?"
Dracula was surprised by this and immediately responded: "Indeed!"
"I haven't been able to figure out how to open the ancient treasures all this time, so it was because I was missing an item. Now I can finally solve the secrets of the ancient scroll, hahaha…"
"Hold on!"
"Brat, I think I heard the words Extreme Divine Pearl just then. Is this really true?"
Dracula's voice sounded excited.
Extremely excited.
Maxwell double checked the system inventory and nodded: "That's right, the thing is indeed called that, but I don't see any descriptions on what it's for. Do you know how to use it?"
"A divine item!"
"It's definitely a divine item!"
"I naturally know what uses it has."
"Its uses are extremely awesome! Do you know why my world of slaughter came to be like that?" Dracula's countenance had become ecstatic. His face was glowing red, and his voice trembled, as if he had encountered something inconceivable.
Being able to make Dracula this excited was definitely a huge matter.
Hearing Dracula say divine item, Maxwell became serious and asked, "Your world of slaughter is related to this pearl?"
"Naturally!"
Dracula then said with excitement: "This divine pearl has been refined from a nether upgrade element in hell after hundreds of millions of years, and contains the power of darkness. It can absorb energy from a dead person, in whatever quantity. Once it is filled, it can unleash boundless power. If you had this divine pearl on you during the time at the Great Alliance auction house, even Gareth could be killed!"
"It can even kill an expert at the Saint rank?!"
"This…"
In an instant…
Maxwell became ecstatic as he never imagined a little pearl could kill an expert at the Saint rank. What kind of existence was that?!
Could this be the benefit of having 100 luck points?
A divine item actually exploded!
It has to be it!
Maxwell became even more excited as he continued thinking. "Who would've imagined that killing Anthony, someone that wasn't even considered an elite mob, would give me a divine item like this. A max luck value is too cool! Hahaha…"
Dracula continued saying: "You should carry the pearl somewhere so that it can absorb the energy of dead people. You can use it whenever you encounter a dangerous situation. But you must remember that the Extreme Divine Pearl can be used only once, so be wary before acting. In the world of slaughter, I absorbed the energy from killing a million people with the Extreme Divine Pearl and then used it to kill a Grand Golden Immortal!"
"Awesome!"
No wonder Dracula's world of slaughter had a million corpses lying there… so this is what happened!
How strong would the power be when the Extreme Divine Pearl had the energy of a million corpses?
Maxwell was excited.
Excited to a complete mess!
Looking at the dead body of Anthony, Maxwell faintly smiled and said to himself, "It looks like I can no longer spare anyone who deserves to die. Who knows when another divine item would explode out, hahaha…"
"Dracula!"
"Since we've determined the ancient treasure's location, shouldn't it be time to open it up?"
This was the true goal for Maxwell coming to the Capital City!
Ancient treasures hidden inside the ancient scroll!
Once he receives the ancient treasure, it should be sufficient for him to become much stronger. If he happens to gain some ancient weapon, then… How cool and awesome would it be to head to Sky City with it? What qualifications would Peter Wesley have left to compete with him?
Dracula said with a faint smile: "Of course!"
Before he could finish his sentence…
Suddenly…
Southeast of the Capital City, the sounds of explosions came from an abandoned temple, heard a million kilometres away. Heaven and earth began to change as the originally blue sky grew dark.
Countless deceased souls rushed into the sky with wailing cries.
At this moment…
It was similar to the gates of hell opening – demons, devils, and ghosts were all coming out.
Dracula's expression drastically changed as he immediately exclaimed, "Not good! Someone has destroyed the array that's been suppressing the ancient grounds. Those terrifying creatures inside will all come out, and the Capital City will be in the greatest danger. Many people in this world will plunge into a life of misery and suffering from now on!
Maxwell's eyes were glowing. Upon seeing the golden light shooting in all directions, he said with incomparable excitement: "So many bosses!"
