What..."
"Who interfered?"
They quickly looked toward the direction from where the attack had come.
A calm voice slowly echoed through the sky.
"Junior..."
"Why don't you leave this matter here?"
The voice carried neither anger nor pressure, yet it strangely echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
The two Transcendent experts instinctively turned toward the source of the voice.
Far away, an old man slowly walked through the air with his hands behind his back. Every step he took seemed slow, yet in the blink of an eye, he had already crossed an incredible distance.
His calm gaze rested upon the two intruders.
"Why don't you leave now?"
The two Transcendent experts froze in place.
Their eyes widened as they stared at the old man calmly walking through the sky.
For the first time since arriving at Blank City, both of them showed clear shock.
"Duke Lancelot! What are you doing here? Why are you interfering in this matter?" the mage asked with a stiff expression while the swordsman frowned deeply. Both of them looked at the old Duke with disbelief because they had never expected him to appear here.
A faint smile appeared on Duke Lancelot's old face. He slowly folded his hands behind his back and glanced toward the Blank Estate below before looking back at the two men.
"Junior, did you forget that my daughter is married to Ethan? My daughter is inside that city, and my grandchildren are also inside. Yet both of you came here to trample over them. Tell me, do you really expect me to stand aside and watch?"
The simple words immediately made both of their expressions turn ugly.
In their haste to carry out the Emperor's orders, they had completely forgotten about Duke Lancelot's connection to the Blank Family.
The mage slowly took a deep breath before speaking in a much heavier tone.
"Duke Lancelot, do you really want to disregard the laws and rules of the Empire? Have you forgotten your position? You know very well that standing against His Majesty is no small matter."
Lancelot calmly looked at him without changing his expression.
"What laws? What rules? Are those laws greater than my daughter's life? Are those rules more important than my grandchildren? If protecting my own family is a crime, then I have nothing more to say."
The mage's face darkened.
"You are rebelling!" he roared angrily while pointing his staff toward Lancelot. "Have you forgotten who you were? Have you forgotten who you are? You were once one of the Empire's greatest pillars."
Lancelot's brows slowly furrowed.
His jaw tightened slightly while his gaze became much colder.
"I have not forgotten anything. I remember everything very clearly. That is exactly why I am standing here today. I retired a long time ago. Now I am nothing more than an old man who wants his family to live in peace."
The swordsman immediately stepped forward.
"But you are still His Majesty's subject. You cannot reject the Emperor's decree. Once an order has been given, every subject of the Empire must obey it."
Lancelot slowly looked into the swordsman's eyes.
"I can."
His answer was calm.There was not the slightest hesitation in his voice.
As those words fell, he slowly drew the sword hanging at his waist.
CLANG!
The clear sound of the blade leaving its scabbard echoed across the sky while a powerful sword intent immediately spread throughout the surroundings.
The mage and the swordsman both narrowed their eyes.
The swordsman spoke once again.
"Can you bear the consequences of your decision? Once you raise your sword against the Empire, there will be no turning back. You will lose everything."
The question caused Rathlos and Mareti to become serious while they quietly looked toward Duke Lancelot.
After a brief silence, Lancelot slowly nodded.
"I can't."
The two Transcendent experts smiled faintly after hearing that answer.
However, before either of them could speak again, Lancelot smiled as well.
"But there is someone who can."
Both of them frowned at the same time.
"What do you mean?"
No sooner had the words left Lancelot's mouth than...
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
A terrifying explosion suddenly echoed from an unimaginable distance.
The entire sky violently trembled.
The clouds split apart while space itself seemed to shake.
A horrifying pressure swept across heaven and earth like an endless tide.
Everyone instinctively looked toward the distant horizon.
The sky itself had split apart.
A gigantic crack stretched across the heavens while terrifying waves of energy continued spreading outward.
Even the ground beneath Blank City trembled violently.
The two Transcendent experts only glanced toward the distant horizon for a brief moment before their expressions turned cold again.
"We don't have time to waste with you anymore."
The mage suddenly raised his staff while countless magic circles instantly appeared around him.
At the same moment, the swordsman disappeared.
SWISH!
His figure blurred and appeared directly before Duke Lancelot.Without giving him even a moment to react, he swung his sword with terrifying force.
CLAAANG!
Duke Lancelot immediately raised his own sword and blocked the attack head-on.
The violent collision shook the sky while terrifying shockwaves spread in every direction.
Before the clash had even ended, the mage completed his spell.
Hundreds of blazing magic spears shot across the heavens like a storm and descended toward Duke Lancelot from every direction.
Rathlos' expression changed.
"My Lord!"
Mareti immediately raised his staff.
BOOOOOOM!
The three Transcendent experts clashed once again.
A terrifying shockwave spread across the heavens like a violent storm, and the clouds burst apart while the air itself trembled under the overwhelming force. The pressure descended upon the land below, and everyone inside Blank City felt their hearts tighten. Even the barrier surrounding the city rippled continuously under the aftershocks.
CLANG!
Duke Lancelot's sword met the enemy swordsman's blade head-on. The two stood face to face while their swords ground against each other, throwing bright sparks in every direction. Their auras collided continuously, and neither side gave even half a step.
The swordsman grinned coldly and tightened his grip around the hilt.
"You've gotten old, Duke. Your strength isn't what it used to be.
