With the help of Shadow Garden, the Oriana Kingdom had no more spies from The Order in its royal palace.
The entire nation began to flourish.
On this day, an uninvited guest appeared in the Olyana Capital.
Upon hearing the news, Number 559 immediately wanted to kill the person, but Epsilon held her back.
"Number 559, obey the command, or you'll never touch master again in this lifetime!"
"Ugh~"
Number 559 instantly deflated, no longer eager to act.
"The Order sent an executive, Olba."
"That fellow is currently aimlessly wandering in the Olyana Capital! Observe him secretly for now! Don't get too close, be careful not to be discovered!"
"Yes!"
The members of Shadow Garden departed.
Only the Seven Shadows and Sino knew about Olba.
Epsilon did not intend to make the information public.
This plan had to be foolproof; that way, she, Epsilon, could have some leisure time.
Feeling the heavy weight on her chest, Epsilon was full of confidence.
From now on, she wouldn't have to constantly monitor battles there.
"Is this what it feels like to truly possess it? It's wonderful!"
"I must let Master Shadow taste it!"
Epsilon was making her own little calculations.
Mordred's plan was for Viscount Olba to attack the royal palace, a frontal assault to draw out Shadow Garden's members, then he himself would enter the royal palace to coerce the Old King, and then force Princess Rose to comply.
All the plans were so perfect.
Mordred learned from his last lesson; last time, he made the plan too complicated, which is why it took so long.
With his strength, dealing with a king was simply easy.
His great ambition lay ahead, and to avoid further complications, he intended to keep everything simple, resolving everything quickly and easily.
Viscount Olba arrived outside the royal palace at night.
He directly shattered a wall and broke in.
The soldiers of the Oriana Kingdom were no match for Viscount Olba.
They were merely cannon fodder, each struck down by Viscount Olba with a single punch; after Number 559 brought people forward, Olba himself immediately fled.
Number 559 immediately led her people in pursuit.
Mordred, hidden in the shadows, took out a ring he had prepared beforehand.
He went directly before Princess Rose.
He slapped Princess Rose to the ground.
He grabbed her hand and made her wear the ring, forcibly activating the ancient relic ring.
Princess Rose wanted to struggle, but it was all in vain.
Once the ring was activated, Mordred no longer bothered with Princess Rose, taking out his own device.
He directly activated the device in his hand.
The world changed color.
"What's happening!" Princess Rose shouted in confusion.
King of Oriana Gluck arrived at this moment and saw the ring on Princess Rose's hand.
"How can this be? The royal bloodline has always been safe; how did this ring appear here...?"
"It's the Queen..."
"It's over, everything is over, Rose, run away quickly! What's coming next is not something you can handle!"
"Father, what exactly happened?"
"The legend of the Black Rose; although it's a story, it's something that truly happened," Gluck said.
"Blame your father! Years ago, The Order helped the Oriana Kingdom contain the monsters, and thus an agreement was reached between both parties: powerful magical offspring were to be handed over to The Order.
But he violated the ancestral teachings, keeping you, a child born with strong magic, and for this, he did not hesitate to become an enemy of The Order! If not for Shadow Garden, the Oriana Kingdom would have perished long ago!"
"It's not much different now!"
Mordred said.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
"You really let me hear some secrets!"
Epsilon clapped a few times and emerged from the shadows.
"You guys are truly persistent, but it's too late now. Demon Lord Ranalok of the Fourth Demon Realm has already appeared! You will all become his fallen souls!"
At this moment, a slash instantly severed one of Demon Lord Ranalok's arms.
Sid originally thought the Oriana Kingdom was uninteresting and was about to leave.
Who would have thought that the sky suddenly darkened, and a giant, rose-like object appeared in the sky.
Then a large monster appeared, and countless small monsters also emerged.
This was his time to show off as Shadow.
When Sino saw Shadow make a move, he didn't try to steal the kill from Shadow.
Anyway, it didn't matter who killed it; Sino was indifferent to this.
If Shadow wanted to show off, then let him.
Mordred looked up at the sky.
He was also very surprised to see Ranalok's arm severed.
"I admit you are indeed powerful, but Ranalok has been observed to be the strongest magical being; he will surely kill all of you!"
"Ignorance is truly terrifying! You know nothing of true power!" Epsilon said, shaking her head.
At the same time, a certain something also swayed along.
"You, a mere descendant of an experiment, stop spouting nonsense here!"
Mordred swung his sword.
Although the attack was invisible, Epsilon easily dodged it.
"An invisible slash? Your magic sword is an ancient relic!"
"And your entire body is covered in ancient relics; you truly are afraid of death!"
Upon hearing this, Mordred's expression turned ferocious.
"Shut up!"
He swung his sword again.
But the attack was easily blocked by Epsilon.
Epsilon had no ancient relics, but she seemed to fight Mordred with great ease.
"Master, please look at my elegant figure more!"
Sino was indeed looking at Epsilon, and it had to be said that Epsilon's waist was indeed slender enough.
She could fight while also displaying her graceful figure.
It definitely looked intentional.
But Sino also truly enjoyed watching.
Epsilon's actions infuriated Mordred.
He felt underestimated.
"You bastard, are you a sow in heat? Displaying your figure like that!"
Upon hearing this, Epsilon suddenly accelerated her speed, flashing before Mordred.
With a high leg kick, in a split, she fiercely kicked Mordred in the mouth.
Leaving his mouth full of blood.
Mordred immediately lost his balance, tumbling and rolling several times.
Epsilon pursued him, stepping on Mordred's mouth.
What this guy said was too offensive; Epsilon found it hard not to be angry.
She wanted to show her most elegant side to the person she liked, and what did it matter? This guy dared to interrupt, purely seeking death.
Epsilon, having been strengthened by Sino in her childhood, was much stronger than in the original story.
Defeating Mordred alone was completely effortless.
Epsilon completely lost her composure, furiously beating Mordred, just like beating a street thug.
She didn't treat this Knight of the Round Table as a human being at all.
"What if you defeat me? You'll all die anyway; the Demon Lord will kill every single one of you!"
"That's the guy we observed to have the strongest magic!"
"If that's the case, why don't we talk about the story of the Black Rose, or I can continue beating you!"
Mordred was very afraid of death, and he immediately began to tell the story without hesitation.
"Many years ago..."
