TAPGB - Chapter 134
The Abandoned Prince's Ghost Bride
Leopold raised his hand, perhaps annoyed by his unwavering gaze.
Sigh-!
Lucian's head turned with a strong bursting sound. It was so powerful that his brain rang.
“Hehe, you can’t do this. Your precious doll almost broke down.”
Lucian's cheeks were not only red and swollen, but his lip burst and blood flowed out. Still, the corner of Leon's eyes twitched in his strong gold eyes.
But before long, he raised the corners of his mouth.
“Can you keep your cool when you see Aria whispering that she loves someone else?”
Lucian's eyes wavered slightly.
“Do you know why I don’t kill you here? Because your body is useful.”
Leopold pressed Lucian's chest. Lucian then realized what Leopold was thinking.
“You especially need to keep your consciousness intact. When I take over your body, you watch Arya emerge from within, whispering her love from beginning to end.”
Flinch-
Lucian's eyes became sinister, and his body, unable to move even a little, began to tremble slightly. Nevertheless, Leon laughed as if it were ridiculous, knowing that Lucian would not be able to remove his magic.
“It should have been done this way from the beginning. Instead of imitating Odell, I should have taken over Odell's body from the beginning. If that were the case, I would have received her love by now.”
Leon’s face was distorted like a demon. Even though he was wearing Leopold's skin, Lucian could tell that this was his true self.
“... Thinking about it makes me angry. How does a bastard like you get Arya's love? Both you and Odell are guys with nothing special about you.”
Leon's anger who had nowhere to go was directed at Lucian. His wide-open eyes were like an empty deep sea. Suddenly it occurred to Lucisn that he might be swallowed up by him.
“Let’s see if you can keep that shameless face after going through this.”
Jet-black mana soared from Leon’s left hand.
Before he knew it, he had goosebumps all over his body and felt a strong sense of rejection.
Lucian had previously encountered black magic a few times through Javier. To be honest, this was the first time he felt ominous just by looking at it.
It was clear that it was a strong black magic that Javier could not even imitate.
The black mana trembled ominously and grew in size. Soon, darkness unfolded before Lucian's eyes.
***
Lucian's new form collapsed and he trembled on the floor with unfocused eyes.
By now, the mental torture black magic that Leon had cast must be in effect.
Leon, who hit Lucian with his foot, felt his fingertips tremble and frowned.
“Damn it, why should I eat that?”
The elixir that Leah fed him a few days ago.
Leon knew that Leah had something up to him with the drink she offered him, but he willingly ate it to avoid suspicion.
Of course, he wouldn't have taken it if he had known it was an elixir. He knew long ago that the elixir was taking a toll on his soul.
“I thought it would be okay, but the aftereffects are still there.”
After taking the elixir, his spirit became a little unstable. He felt like his body and soul had lost their connection, and his strength wasn't what it used to be.
In his heart, Leon wants to take over Lucian's body right now. In order to fool Leah's quick-witted eyes, it would be much easier to approach Lucian's body.
However, moving the soul is a high-level magic, so it requires fifteen high-ranking warlocks, and if he moves the body hastily now that the soul is much weakened, the soul could be eaten, so even when he sees the tasty food, he has to just suck his hands.
First of all, he needs to destroy Lucian's spirit to create an environment in which he can easily take over his body later.
“It was quite difficult to subdue this guy, but it goes without saying that you're his younger brother.”
Leon muttered, pulling Leopold’s cheek.
Kwaang-!
At that time, a loud noise was heard. There was a noise coming from outside the door.
Leon frowned and turned his head. At the same time, the tightly closed door opened.
“Lucian!”
The main character of the uproar was Dio.
He was in a mess as if there had been a fierce battle on his way there. His neat uniform had long since become disheveled, there was blood everywhere, and there were deep scratches on his previously unscathed cheek.
Dio's eyes widened as he noticed Leopold's mood change and Lucian lying down in front of him.
Dio was about to run towards Lucian right away, but Dio quickly turned around when he felt a cold, deathly sensation on the back of his neck and caught the knife flying at him.
“Ugh...! I definitely cut off his leg...!"
The person Dio was dealing with was Jordi.
While Lucian and Leopold were fighting to the death inside, Dio dueled with Jordi and other guard knights outside.
When they heard a commotion in the room and tried to enter by force, they swung their swords first. If he hadn't reacted quickly, his head would have been blown off right away.
After that, a fierce battle ensued, and Dio boldly attacked them, thinking that he might die if he did not take their lives.
As a result, one person died, and Jordi had his left leg cut off.
No matter how great a knight he is, if he loses one of his body parts, his rationality becomes paralyzed. And what about that pain? Normally, he would be left incapable of combat.
‘This guy is a monster or something...!’
But the Jordi in front of him was different. He opened his eyes wide and tried to bite Dio's neck like a puppet unaware of pain.
"Ha... An important doll has died.”
Even though a life-threatening duel was taking place right before his eyes, Leon only expressed his regret when he saw the knight who had already died.
Dio got goosebumps all over his body as he looked so unlike a human being.
Meanwhile, Jordi's sword pierced Dio's shoulder.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
When Dio could not overcome the pain and screamed, Jordi, who had been expressionless, laughed eerily.
Dio, who had been gritting his teeth, widened his eyes and grabbed the blade that was digging into his shoulder. The blade dug into his palm, but when he pushed it away, it slowly came off his shoulder.
Dio realized that Jordi's strength was weaker than before.
‘No matter how much of a monster he is, he’s not omnipotent!’
Dio raised his upper body and pushed Jordi back, and just as he lost his balance, Dio pulled out the sword from his shoulder and plunged it into Jordi's neck.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk...”
Jordi couldn't even scream and was trembling. Although his eyes were on Dio, the one with his throat pierced had nothing to say.
Jordi fell to the ground.
Dio took a deep breath and stood up.
"Right now... Get away from Lucian!”
He then aimed the blood-stained sword at Leon, who was watching calmly.
Leon let out a laugh at Dio’s spirit.
“Wow, I never thought a knight could beat an elite priest who I worked so hard to raise him. He is a coveted talent.”
“Can’t you hear me? Get away from him right now...!”
Despite Leon's pure admiration, Dio only expressed anger. Leon chuckled at that.
“These days, people don’t know how to respect their elders.”
The moment Leon snapped his fingers, a strong force slammed Dio into the wall.
Dio, who had already suffered a serious injury once, was unable to breathe due to the sudden pressure.
It feels like air can't reach his lungs and he's out of breath.
“Lucian...!”
Dio, who was panting, tried to move. Nevertheless, he continued to sit down. He had already lost so much blood that his vision was blurry.
Leon approached Dio, who was lying on the floor. Dio raised his head, his face twisting.
Leon looked down at him arrogantly and pointed at Dio. Then, jet-black mana shot out from his index finger and pierced Dio's forehead.
Dio's eyes blurred and he collapsed.
“Just in case, don’t disturb me.”
It was a dry voice as if he had just removed a bug. That's how he got out of the messy room.
Slap.
Leon, who had stepped on a puddle of blood, paused and frowned.
“Tsk, it’s dirty.”
The dead Jordi was not even in sight. He was just concerned about the blood staining his shoes and the hem of his trousers.
“This wasn’t planned, but it was going to happen anyway, so do you think I did it in advance?”
When Leon flicked his finger once, his clothes immediately turned into new ones, and when he flicked his finger again, his face subtly changed to look like Lucian's.
Even close people couldn't tell the difference.
Leon checked his condition in the mirror in his hallway and left the hallway with a satisfied face.

“Okay, so it’s not like I’m just asking for it. Isn’t it a rare thing that no one uses anyway? They say I, your grandchild, will use it, not another dragon! Do you hate that so much?!”
“It’s noisy, you bastard! Did you think I would suddenly say yes to someone asking for rare Carcerine?!”
“Ah, grandfather...!”
Caesar clung to the tail of Ador, his grandfather, and Carcerin's father.
Although he is the eldest of the red dragon clan and is a dragon that cannot be treated even by his children carelessly, Caesar was going out of his way to the point of embarrassing Ador.
“It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen my father so embarrassed.”
“...He’s amazing in so many ways.”
Age, who had already achieved liberation, was standing next to Luce, who was watching as if it were someone else's business.
After confirming that there was no problem with Leopold, he returned here thinking it was safe.
He didn't have anything special to do, but he came because Caesar said he needed to get his rare back.
And now, Caesar has been following Ador for several days.
“Ahh! If you don’t give it to me, I’ll cry here!”
“Hey, this guy! Red dragons are so majestic, how could you become an adult.....!”
“Ah, I don’t know, I don’t know! I want it rare...!”
Eventually, when Caesar lay down on the floor and started a full-blown rampage, a huge red dragon wandered around him, not knowing what to do.
“Lu, Luce! Was Caesar always like this?”
“When he was young, he really couldn’t listen to anything. That’s good enough.”
“...This is good?”
“I think Adore is very surprised.”
“I guess so. But I don't know why my father is so worried about whether to just give it to me or not. Last time, we talked about what to do with my brother Rare.”
Age thought that it would be soon for Caesar to have a rare.
As he was watching to see how long he would continue like that, Caesar suddenly stopped.
No, that wasn't enough, he froze and suddenly stood up, his eyes shaking aimlessly.
“Caesar?”
Adore and Luce, who noticed the strange incident, looked on in confusion, while Age watched his actions with a frown.
"Shit!"
Caesar suddenly cursed. Soon, his new form disappeared in an instant.
Luce and Ador blinked at something inexplicable.
“...He probably didn’t say this to me, did he?”
“Maybe? Age, do you know why Caesar is like that?”
Luce stabbed Age in the side. But before he knew it, Age's face had changed seriously.
'No way...’
An ominous feeling passed through the back of his neck.
***
"Hey!"
Caesar, who had teleported away, screamed. But his eyes widened for a moment.
A terrible tragedy unfolded before his eyes.
“W-what!”
“How did you get in here?”
Behind several people who couldn't hide their embarrassment, a person was seen hanging limply with his hands tied to the ceiling.
When he lifted his blood-stained head, he saw his swollen and disfigured face.
“...You’re here.”
It was Javier. Caesar grasped the situation immediately.
“Take out the intruder immediately...!”
Be crushed.
Caesar's words rang out. Then, all the humans except Javier were crushed and disappeared.
Where they were standing, the hem of their clothes, soaked in blood, were bunched together.
Javier looked around him with wide eyes.
“I was wondering why you tried to break the contract now...”
“That contract saved my life.”
The contract with Javier was made at the mansion 15 years ago. The one-sided contract was to send a signal to Caesar if he broke the contract.
For 15 years, Javier never once broke the contract or attempted to break it.
So when Caesar suddenly received that signal, he sensed something ominous and hurriedly teleported to where he was.
As Caesar waved his right hand in the air, the chains that bound Javier's hands were released. Caesar supported him as he fell to the floor.
“Ugh...!”
Javier's back was stained with blood and deep scars remained. A thick, bloody whip was lying nearby.
Overall, his condition was a mess.
Be healed.
Caesar used dragon tongue to heal Javier's body.
Pure white light enveloped Javier's body and healed his wounds.
Although it was a serious injury, Javier could not hide his surprise as he felt the pain disappear in an instant.
