Chapter 398 The Truth



"Shinra Tensei." Sensing the arrow being shot towards him, which was enveloped in powerful sword energy, Wang Han's gaze shifted, and an invisible repulsive force burst forth from his eyes towards the incoming arrow.

With a crisp clang, the rapidly approaching arrow was repelled and deflected by the repulsive force.

"Blazing Dragon..."

"Hurricane Blade..."

"Neptune's Spear..."

Once the first person made a move, the others followed suit without hesitation, each taking action, none expecting to kill the enemy with a single arrow.

One mage after another unleashed their spells: gigantic, orange-red fire dragons dozens of meters long, terrifyingly spinning wind blades, and massive, compressed high-pressure water jets all hurtled towards Wang Han. The melee-focused Saints also charged towards him in unison. Although the False God was incredibly powerful, he was also an utterly evil and unforgivable necromancer. Moreover, they weren't without hope of victory; soon, more experts from Blue Maple City would arrive. Even if their opponent was a False God, he couldn't withstand the combined might of all the experts in Blue Maple City.

"Phew..." Seeing the dozen or so professional saints attacking Wang Han, the ancestors of the Anton family breathed a sigh of relief. If they could stall for time until more experts arrived, their lives would be saved, and they might even be able to kill this false god. The thought of possibly killing the false god filled the Anton family ancestors with excitement. Humans, limited by their talents, could at most become professional gods; to advance further, to kill even more powerful beings, seizing their bloodline and cultivation was the only way.

"Master?" Anqi looked at Wang Han with concern.

"Don't worry," Wang Han said with a smile, waving his hand to simultaneously open four powerful spatial channels, each a hundred meters tall, in four directions around the two of them. This completely shielded them. The magic attacking from all sides fell into the distorted space, like sand falling into a swamp, having no effect whatsoever.

"How is this possible? How can summoning spells be used like this!" The mages stared wide-eyed as their spells were fired into Wang Han's summoning space, having no effect whatsoever. As for Wang Han, the summoning space passages on all sides had already isolated him and Angie; until the summoning passages disappeared, no attack could reach them.

"roar......"

"Ouch..."

"hold head high......"

After the magic entered the Divine Might Space, a continuous series of beast roars echoed from the spatial passages, each roar filled with rage. One after another, demonic beasts and mutated beasts rushed out from the four opened Divine Might Space passages, their eyes bloodthirsty as they stared at the several professional saints charging towards them, and immediately pounced on them all.

"Damn it! How could he summon so many magical beasts?" Several warrior-class saints at the front, seeing the magical beasts constantly pouring out of the divine power space passage—all super-tier magical beasts, numbering no less than a hundred, including more than a dozen holy beasts—and still appearing from the summoning passage, cursed loudly and immediately turned and ran back as fast as they could. Humans are already half a tier weaker than magical beasts, and now they are also at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Moreover, because the An family's mansion is in the middle of the noble district, they initially came from four directions to surround Wang Han and his group, but now it's too late to form a formation, and they can only fight individually.

"How is this possible?" Under the attack of the three two-headed wolves, the three ancestors of the Anton family, who were struggling to defend themselves, stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the magical beasts that were still pouring out of the summoning channel, and despair began to creep into their hearts.

——————————————————

"Master, is this a summoning passage?" Angie looked around in surprise at the dark space. Apart from the sky and the ground, everything was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.

“Nothing to be surprised about!” Wang Han shook his head and continued to examine Grand Duke Angela’s memories.

Half a minute later, Wang Han raised the hand that had been gripping the soul of Grand Duke Angela, sighed, and said, "So that's how it is. What a melodramatic show!"

"Master, do you already know why he wanted to kill me and my mother?" Anqi asked excitedly upon hearing this.

"Hmm." Wang Han nodded and said, "Your mother is indeed a member of the Anton family, but she is just the daughter of a lowly clansman. She is of low status, but your mother is very talented. At the age of fourteen, she was already an elite student of the Imperial Third-Tier Blue Maple Academy. She is very likely to become a King-level or even Saint-level powerhouse in her lifetime. However, it is precisely because of her high talent that she has also brought disaster upon herself."

"What disaster?" Angie asked quickly upon hearing this.

“The struggle for the imperial throne,” Wang Han said. “The old king of the empire had thirteen sons. Among them, the eldest son had the highest talent and also had the potential to become a Saint-level expert, making him the strongest contender for the imperial throne. A Saint-level expert is extremely important to the imperial family. In the thousand-year history of the royal family, only ten people have reached the level of a professional Saint. Therefore, a professional Saint-level expert has a significant advantage in inheriting the throne. The second prince, who is the most talented among the other twelve brothers, is far inferior. The eldest prince is supported by the Noan family, which is the rival family of the Anton family. Therefore, the Anton family supports the second prince, whose talent is second only to the eldest prince, even though the second prince is also very talented.” He was the second most talented of the thirteen brothers, but barring unforeseen circumstances, the second prince could only ever become a professional king at best. His talent was still considerably inferior to that of the eldest prince. Faced with this unfavorable situation, and with the old king growing increasingly old, they finally devised a plan: to use necromancy to strip away their mother's talent and bestow it upon the second prince. Combined with the second prince's existing talent, he could become a powerful professional saint within twenty years, and even have the potential to challenge for the title of professional god within two or three hundred years, becoming the most formidable contender for the throne. To this end, they found a powerful necromancer.

"A necromancer." Angie was stunned upon hearing this. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Necromancers were infamous, and she couldn't imagine what her mother had gone through or how she had survived.

“That’s right, they are necromancers.” Wang Han nodded and said, “And the method of stripping them of their talents is carried out through sexual intercourse; they will…”

"Master, please stop talking." Anqi shook her head, unable to bear listening any longer.

"Are necromancers really that terrifying?" Wang Han shook his head, but didn't elaborate further. He concluded, "Originally, after stripping your mother of her talent, they wanted to kill her and your grandfather to silence them. Fortunately, at the crucial moment, your grandfather sacrificed his life, using his summoned beast to carry your mother into the summoning space where his beast resided (a very risky endeavor). He then committed suicide, forcing the contract with the summoned beast to automatically dissolve, allowing the beast to take your mother back to the Monster Forest (after the contract is dissolved, the monster is returned to its original location). After your mother escaped, they have been hunting her down ever since. After all, if the matter of hiring a necromancer were exposed, not only would the Second Prince lose his throne, but the An Dun family would also face condemnation and even attacks from all sides."
