The ceremony held in the royal court was exactly the same as it was back then... only things had changed.

Li Aili's expression was complicated. When she turned her head to the side, she could only see Arthur's taut jawline.

Albert is probably even more obsessed than Arthur... obsessed with completely reviving the dynasty known as the 'Holy Dragon'.

"Oh ho, they're signing a contract~" Gilmanoa swung his tailbone, watching the scene below with great interest.

Outside the window, a necromancer with power equivalent to a magic saint walked onto the high platform erected for the ceremony.

The necromancer, whose mere presence on the high platform caused all the kings below to hold their breath, slowly opened a book.

Fisher-Nankey, sitting on the other side, twitched his eyelids. “The Seven Great Treasures, the Book of Oaths.”

Li Aili had collected information on the Seven Great Treasures.

The Book of Oaths, a somewhat sinister semi-divine artifact.

However, using it in this situation is perfectly reasonable.

Because the purpose of this book is to ensure that those who take an oath cannot break their vows.

Albert smiled slightly and reached out to pat Gilmanoa on the shoulder.

Suddenly, a black tornado slowly lifted the necromancer into the air.

Countless chains erupted from the Book of Oaths.

Once these chains 'bind' an ally, neither party may break the oath after it is made; otherwise, the signatory and his people and kingdom will suffer annihilation.

"Oh~ the main event is here!" Gilmanoa said with a cheerful tone, looking up at the sky.

Albert also stood up at this moment and walked to the terrace facing his throne.

A massive meteorite, trailing flames, pierced through the clouds and crashed straight into the royal palace courtyard.

Judging by the size of that meteorite, it's practically a miniature divine kingdom!

Li Ai Li, Arthur, and Fisher Nanki were so surprised that they jumped to their feet.

“My future allies,” Albert’s voice was not loud, but it echoed throughout the entire capital of Clark, “this is what it means to fight against fate.”

“Now, you still have a chance to back out.” Albert narrowed his eyes slightly, ignoring the meteorite that was about to crash down and bury Clark alive.

“Albert!!” Arthur’s temples bulged with veins.

He couldn't believe that the guy who was testing his allies and disregarding the lives of his followers at this time was his brother.
