Lord of the Truth

Chapter 823: The Supreme General Joins the Battle



Richard opened his eyes wide when he heard the familiar voice and quickly looked to his side, finding a black-haired young man wearing full black gold armor and a long golden cloak wavering behind him, "Brother Caesar?!"

*Paa* Caesar didn't respond, but opened his arms wide and clapped loudly, before slowly opening his palms and muttering, "Return to nothingness, 4%!!"

*Srrrr*

From between his hands appeared a small colorless fare ball with black flames coming out, then it rushed from his hand towards Marshal Dayroth!

"Damn it, your head alone won't be enough to make up for what you've done, I won't leave a single living being on the surface of this planet!!" Marshal Dayroth shouted in deep hatred, although he was not Straga's best friend, he was still a colleague of the same rank, killing him in his presence was a great insult.

In his eyes, the moment the Durger the Devourer's poison came out, Richard was dead, now he just had to think of a way to achieve a great accomplishment that would intercede for him before His Majesty Emperor Pythor and make him forget his failure in the Straga killing incident... As for that small, insignificant colorless flame, he ignored it.

*Vroom*

"Hmm?" Marshal Dayroth narrowed his eyes

As the small fireball advanced, the space in front of it twisted and turned as if it was turning into oil!

*Tshhhhh*

The moment the colorless fireball came into contact with the purple poison, it was completely engulfed

"Haha, just as I expected, no one can stand against the corrosion poison of Durger the Devourer, this is its most powerful attack that spread blood all over the Poison Rock planet! How could you, a mere mortal, even try to..." Dayroth laughed out loud as he saw the flame disappear into the purple liquid that had put most of his Durger the Devourer's blood into executing, but his laughter suddenly stopped "...Huh?"

*Tchhhh* *Tchhhhh*

Unlike expected, the liquid did not extinguish the flame, or even pass it and continue on its way towards Richard and Caesar, but rather stopped in mid-air as if it was trapped in the fabric of liquid space... and began to diminish!

Within a second, the poison had completely evaporated, and the colorless flame reappeared. It had become noticeably smaller but was still burning strongly, and continued on its way towards Marshal Dayroth!

"Damn it!!" The Marshal's heart trembled as he watched that fireball that was as bid as a fingertip accelerate toward him

He tried to dodge it quickly but it followed him everywhere tirelessly, so he shouted once more, "DAMMIT!!" Then headed towards the nearest battlefield, grabbed one of the soldiers, and threw him towards the fireball, wanting to know what would happen when it touched him.

"What the--" the soldier shouted when he felt his marshal throwing him like that, but the sentence was not completed, the fireball disappeared inside him and he fell to the ground dead without any wounds, even he did not know what happened...

"This..." Marshal Dayroth took a few steps back, the aura of that fireball had terrified him since he saw it, and now that he saw its effect, he was sure of what it was, the number one enemy of all living beings, "Does this thing have anything to do with the path of Death?!"

As for Caesar, he let him guess as he pleased and looked back at Richard from top to bottom... There was not an inch of him that wasn't cut, burned, or broken, and there wasn't a drop of energy in his body.

But Caesar ignored all of this, this was normal in a huge battle like the one taking place... What he focused on was his white hair and his pained yet satisfied expression at the same time, he felt as if he was looking at someone who was already dead.

Caesar turned his back to the Marshal and patted his brother on the shoulder, "...You don't have to take everything personally, this is what wars do, what is destroyed today we will rebuild tomorrow."

Of course, he knew what had brought Richard to this state!

A moment ago, he opened an instant space portal and landed at a random location above the city. As soon as he got out, he saw the ruins of the devastating war. As a holder of the Death Flame Law, he easily sensed the number of dead in the city. Even in Jura's time, they hadn't suffered losses of this scale!

But he didn't fall into his anger and sadness. He quickly got himself together and deployed his soul sense quickly. He located the strongest person and opened another portal towards him.

...Richard shook his head with a fake smile. "Will those who died today also wake up tomorrow, brother?"

"Our women will give birth to many others!" Caesar pressed his shoulder, frowning. "As the supreme general of the True Beginning Empire's army, I thank you for intervening and saving the lives of many of the capital's residents, you are already a hero and I can't ask you for more. But as your brother, I ask you to be more patient and help me save their lives... Now is not the time to give up."

*Swoosh*

In the middle of his speech, Caesar quickly turned and took out his halberd, then sent a stab of black flame toward General Smilat who was trying to sneak closer.

"Husss!!" The general trembled and jumped back.

With half-open eyes and a simple smile, Richard nodded and sat on the ground, "... My energy reserve is gone but the city still has some surplus, I will try to use it to help the survivors and protect the towers, but I will have to leave these two to you."

Caesar didn't know if he was convinced by his words or not, but this was not the time, so he nodded and gave a final reminder, "I will try to lead them away to keep the death fire away from you, trust me I know how annoying it is." *Swoosh* Then he rushed towards Marshal

Dayroth.

Richard opened his eyes in surprise, "...What is annoying about it?" Then he closed them

again.
