Awakening The Only SSS-Rank Class! Now Even Dragons Obey Me Chapter 724: Full-Scale War ?

The grand hall of the Goblin Guild instantly became a field of death.

James's severed head kept rolling across the floor, blood gushing from the neck like a spraying fountain.

His body without a head stayed upright for several seconds before toppling over like a limp puppet.

Silence. Total silence.

Sara covered her mouth with her hand, eyes bulging in terror.

Joe's face drained to the color of ash as he retreated, unable to accept the reality before him.

He truly despised James, yet death? That wasn't his desire—not even a thought he entertained—due to the dire repercussions.

No matter James's villainy, he remained the prized gem of the Goblin Guild, the nation's top guild. Slaying him would unleash nationwide turmoil.

And Daniel had slain James right in front of everyone? Was he mad?

Varnos creased his forehead deeply. His expression grew utterly grave. Even he paused in shock. Humiliating these scum was fine.

But executing him publicly? That act spelled political doom, potentially crumbling the Everlight Moon Guild's standing and isolating them entirely.

Why commit such folly?

Daniel scowled intensely. He knew his blow was meant only to stun or wound James—not end his life.

"I... didn’t kill him," he whispered under his breath. He was sure he held no intent to kill. He hadn't unleashed power capable of this.

What in the world occurred? What went wrong?

Alaric remained motionless like stone. His gaze fixed on his heir's corpse.

"James...?"

His lips quivered. His face flushed from crimson to violet.

Jason lingered nearby. Fists balled tight, forehead veins throbbing. James had been like a younger sibling to him.

And now that sibling lay slain before his very eyes. He failed to protect him!

For moments, words escaped them all.

Shock rooted them so profoundly that their minds hadn't signaled their limbs to act.

Then...

"Murderer..."

Alaric's voice erupted like a beast's agonized howl. He lunged to James's corpse in a single bound.

"Execute the murderer of the Goblin Guild’s successor right here!"

The whole hall erupted in chaos instantly.

Dozens of Goblin Guild high-rankers, including Rank A and Half-Step Rank S veterans who lurked in secrecy for years, surged at Daniel and Varnos like a dark tide.

[Chains of Holy Blood]

One flicked his wrist, summoning crimson blood chains from thin air that lashed toward Varnos.

[Devouring Shadows]

Two more unleashed their shadows as if alive, lunging at Daniel.

[Earth-Shattering Fist]

A burly high-ranker pounded his massive fist down, cracking the ground deeply toward Daniel.

[Deadly Poison Mist]

A peak Rank A woman behind released a noxious green fog that choked the air.

[Wrathful Thunder Cage]

Another conjured a lightning barrier around Daniel to pin him in place.

[Soul Slash]

One blade hacked straight at the soul, blasting excruciating agony into the mind.

[Wall of Despair]

The final one raised a dark barrier encircling the arena, sealing all escape.

They unleashed everything without restraint. Aware of their foes' might, they refused any hint of mercy.

Daniel whirled about at once, mentally urging his allies to flee.

"Sara! Joe! Escape separately! Right now!"

Sara and Joe snapped from their daze at Daniel's sharp command. Wordlessly, they bolted for the side doors.

"We have to hold them here," Daniel declared, eyeing Varnos.

Varnos gave a curt nod, though his look was somber. His Moon Law seal persisted. His bodily strength had plummeted.

In that opening clash, blood chains carved three gashes into him, forcing a leap back.

"Burn your life force! Just a little, to weaken the poison!" Daniel urged swiftly.

Varnos acted without delay, kindling his vitality.

Some strength surged back, yet it remained feeble.

He bare-knuckled two high-rankers, but a [Soul Slash] drove him to kneel.

Daniel faced peril too. His peak power hadn't recovered.

He brandished The Heavens Honor repeatedly, yet each high-ranker repelled him with their abilities.

He invoked [Demonic Twilight Shield] to parry strikes, but cracks now spiderwebbed his barrier.

He triggered [Bloody Shadow Dance] to slip through shadows, though his pace lagged far behind usual.

Meanwhile, foreign Rank S guests fled in disarray.

Some bolted, others observed, a few even aided the Goblin Guild.

Full war had ignited.

Daniel clenched his jaw.

No alternatives remained.

He lifted his arm and bellowed icily:

"Come... my Fallen!"

Suddenly, space brimmed with dozens of his mightiest summoned Fallen ever.

Each materialized with crimson gazes and lethal presences.

Guests shrieked in panic.

"This... this..."

"The Fallen... it really is him!"

Daniel's true identity burst into the open right then.

All witnesses plunged into unimaginable astonishment. Everyone knew The Fallen; recognition was inevitable.

Lately, his legend transcended national borders. Neighboring lands and the whole region pursued him relentlessly for recruitment.

Though public sightings were scarce, each unleashed cataclysmic waves, seizing every spotlight.

Now, at last, they beheld The Fallen in person. His secret stood unveiled.

But his youth baffled them. How could he be so young? How did one so youthful wield such dominance?

Rivon reeled in total disbelief too. Varnos had mentioned Daniel was The Fallen earlier, but Rivon dismissed it as jest.

Now his jaw dropped in utter incredulity...

Alaric, looming over James's remains, unleashed a hall-shaking bellow of rage.

"THE FALLEN!!!"

He barreled toward Daniel and Varnos with Jason.

Goblin Guild elites shifted aims instantly to assault The Fallen.

Naturally, no choice existed, as the Fallen horde thundered at them. They figured swift annihilation of these beasts would end it.

Yet these Fallen's might stunned them utterly. Far from inferior, they surpassed all expectations. Elites struggled to stand firm, teetering on collapse...?

The successor rite had devolved into total warfare.
