990 Chapter 99“You speak as if we want to be here,” Tang Shaoyang smiled while shaking his head. They had the mission, but it was not they wanted to take the mission. The System forced them to take the mission if they wanted to avoid the Tower Break. The Prince said it as if Tang Shaoyang and his party wanted to be in this place.

While most of the natives inside the tower were weaker than him, their number might be overwhelming for the earth. If Tower Break did really happen, the earth would turn into a battlefield. He should be fine if that really happened, but it would be different for his empire and his people. He realized the Tower Break was a disaster they must avoid ever since he arrived on the sixth floor.

“I don’t care if you came here voluntarily or forced to be here. You have achieved your goal with our help, so it’s your turn to help us, no?” Prince Ophilio smiled.

“We have helped you enough, twelve fortresses and three demon cities. Our time here is over, and we will leave today,” Tang Shaoyang shook his head. He had become the vanguard for them, losing a hundred and fifteen Tarriors in the process.

“That’s not for you to decide, but me. I am the seventeenth Prince of the Galend Kingdom. If you and your team leave right now, that will be perceived as an act of treachery. There’s no more place for you or your team in this kingdom. Do you know what’s the punishment for treason?” The smile on Prince Ophilio got wider as he spoke about the punishment.

“Execution,” Tang Shaoyang responded calmly despite being threatened. At the same time, he activated the Spirit Eyes. He checked the surroundings, outside and inside the building. The soldiers gathered around the building with more headed into the building.

Prince Ophilio came up prepared. He did not need to listen to Prince Ophilio’s nonsense and got out of the tenth floor right away, but he was separated from his subordinates. He needed to inform them so they could get out together.

“You got the right answer, but no reward for you,” Prince Ophilio became even more playful as if everything went according to his plan, “So what’s your choice? Become Galend Kingdom’s enemy, or help the kingdom for another two months. Yes, just two months.”

Tang Shaoyang stared at the man on the chair. He could tell why the Prince wanted him and his party to stay. Ophilio wanted to scoop more achievements for taking down the demon fortress and demon city. That might help him in the future or maybe raise his status in his home.

.....

‘However, this prince is so stupid to threaten you instead of promising you a better reward,’ Rosalie, The Flame Empress, judged the prince, ‘If he promises you a treasure or something better, there’s a higher chance for you to stay.’

“Since the kingdom will charge me with treason, then I will make it happen without needing you to frame me, Prince.” Tang Shaoyang took out the Dragon Destroyer and Titan Blade. The battle-ax on his right hand, and the Titan Blade on his left hand. He was not going to negotiate with the prince.

Since the Galend Kingdom would put him on the criminal list just because he did not listen to Prince Ophilio’s words. He might as well kill the man and leave the tenth floor forever. After over two months here, he realized it would be hard for them to get anything from this floor. Everything either belonged to the demon faction or the human kingdom. They could not just claim or take anything without permission from one of the two factions.

Tang Shaoyang let out his killing intent, filling up the room. He was not joking about killing the prince. He took the first step before activating his movement skill, [Blink]. His figure disappeared and appeared again in front of Prince Ophilio.

It was clear that Prince Ophilio did not expect the opposite party would try to kill him right away. He jerked back, a subconscious reaction upon seeing the big blade right in front of him. His back hit the backrest, and he immediately realized he was doomed. He looked up at the towering figure in front of him with a look of regret. He did not think that far; it never crossed his mind the man would dare to kill the Prince of Galend Kingdom.

Clang!

Prince Ophilio was fortunate to have General Deon right next to him. The General reacted in time as he thrust the sword toward the side of the Titan Blade. The blade was pushed to the side, missing the target.

Boom!

The simple strike destroyed the wall behind the prince. The simple strike was imbued with Slayer Energy, not just a casual slash. Tang Shaoyang expected the prince would have some sort of protection, so he used Slayer Energy.

“Stop! This is a misunderstanding! Please….” General Deon tried to stop Tang Shaoyang, but the latter did not heed his sword as the battle ax swung toward him. The General could feel the strong energy from the battle-ax. It was easy for him to dodge the battle-ax, but he would expose the prince behind him. The prince was not a weakling, but the man froze on the chair.

General Deon raised the shield in his left hand. At the same time, he activated the defensive skill. Three barriers formed, and at the same time, he reinforced the shield with his mana, creating another barrier around the shield.

Broom!

As the battle-ax hit the barrier, it produced booming noises as the energy burst out from the clash. Tang Shaoyang used [Thousand Blast] skill on the attack. He intended to kill the Prince for real. He did not have the patience to play with Prince Ophilio after losing a hundred and fifteen Tarriors, only to be used again as a tool for the throne succession fight.

The energy from the explosion swept the building, destroying the wall and the roof beyond Prince Ophilio and General Deon.

“Tell everyone to leave,” Tang Shaoyang commanded Wei Xi to move out and get the Tarriors out of the ten floors, “You guys also leave!”

He could tell that General Deon blocked [Thousand Blast]. [Thousand Blast] combined with The Slayer Energy was not enough to break the defensive barrier, which was a surprise. He truly wanted to finish them off before leaving.

Marshal Alton wanted to say something, but the old man held his words back. He realized that the emperor would not listen to him under such a circumstance, “Let’s inform the others to leave. We also leave too.” ????????????r????????????. ????o????

The old man pulled the two girls with him. He was well aware that these two girls wanted to stay with Tang Shaoyang, but the latter did not want to involve anyone in the next fight but himself.

Zhang Mengyao looked at Marshal Alton. The latter nodded, telling her with his eyes to leave him alone for now. With that, everyone left the half-destroyed building, leaving Tang Shaoyang alone.

“Are you going to pretend to be dead forever?” Tang Shaoyang looked into the dust that slowly dissipated, revealing the shining barrier.

Whoosh!

A gush swept the dust away, showing two figures, General Deon and Prince Ophilio. The prince had a terrified expression while looking up at the barrier. General Deon used his Transformation; his silver armor changed into animal skin, lit up in fire. His head resembled a tiger, a blazing red tiger with red eyes and blazing horns.
