Instead, he let the golden light slowly flow into his palm, transforming into a knight's lance out of thin air.
The long gun barrel was engraved with intricate patterns, its end curving upwards in an elegant arc, while Gwen held the short handle tightly in her hand.
At that moment, Owesser instinctively sensed something was wrong, and alarm bells rang wildly in his mind.
Although he was unwilling to believe that Gwen could overcome her greed, the situation gradually spiraled out of control.
Ultimately, Owesser decided to quit.
Immediately afterwards, the battle was about to break out.
This is no longer just a battle between players and bosses.
Instead, it transformed into a brilliant performance of the plot.
In this part of the story, after several intense battles,
In the end, the demon of greed was killed by Gwen with a single shot.
Buzz!
A blinding white light flashed by, and the spear pierced through the body of the lustful demon.
Its eyes, in its final moments, shifted from mockery to desperate terror.
Its eyes lost their luster, its massive body swayed precariously, and finally it collapsed to the ground with a thud, turning into a pile of rotten flesh that emitted a foul, sticky odor.
Then, Gwen pulled out the spear that was deeply embedded in the demon's body, flicked it gently, and the weapon turned into golden light and disappeared.
Then, her gaze shifted to the empty throne.
Owesser ran away.
But at this moment, there is no rush to catch up.
Gwen asks the player to lead the survivors back to the safe zone, promising to open a passage and coordinate with Duke Reeves.
The nobles were so grateful to Gwen and the adventurers that they almost wanted to kneel down and thank them immediately.
But Gwen neither accepted their thanks nor stopped any formalities.
At that moment, in the eyes of these nobles,
Gwen, who slew the demon of greed, had a ruthless and resolute justice shining in her eyes.
Her sense of justice had reached its peak.
Finally, she overcame her last obsession and became a knight who wholeheartedly served justice.
However, that was not enough, because she was still just a knight.
No one knows when she will become a god.
...
After the entire room was cleaned and everyone had left.
A gust of wind blew by, and Henny appeared in a room in the mansion.
She stood beside the corpse of greed, expressionless.
Because the demon's corpse was so large and repulsive, no one was willing to move it.
But precisely because they had never killed the primordial demon, even Gwen didn't know.
When a true demon dies, its body simply dissipates.
The demon of greed has indeed lost its vitality, but "Yem" is not truly dead.
“Well done, Yem.”
"The professor asked me to tell you that you have atoneed."
As soon as Heni finished speaking, the Demon of Greed's once mountain-sized body finally vanished completely.
It transformed into a streak of pitch-black ink, seeping into Henney's robe and penetrating her body along the fabric.
Behind her, a fifth pure white and pink tail grew.
...
The death of the Demon of Greed seemed to have shocked all the primordial demons in the entire capital.
The demons that were originally deeply rooted in the central district have all disappeared.
The demons fled, and the entire central district was soon free of demonic threats.
The army quickly restored order, and the Duke also contacted the Witcher organization, requesting them to clean up the remaining minor demons in the central city.
Shortly afterward, the entire central district was declared liberated.
Because the city was under lockdown, the survivors in the central district were unable to escape to the outside world.
After a thorough search, they finally found Oweiser, who had been hiding for a long time, in a secluded alley.
At that time, Oweiser was dressed in rags, his hair was tangled, and his eyes were dull and lifeless.
They have clearly lost their former arrogance and conceit.
As the knights led him away, he remained deeply resentful, muttering to himself repeatedly.
"I've been scammed, I've been scammed."
But no one could tell from his words what exactly he had been deceived about, so the Duke, on the grounds that he was feigning madness, threw him directly into prison.
Ultimately, a large army entered the palace and successfully rescued the emperor and princess.
Fortunately, neither the emperor nor the princess was harmed, and even all the servants in the palace were safe and sound.
Perhaps it was the magical power of the palace, or the protection of Auberley, that protected everyone.
In the end, Aubrey also reached a point where he could no longer keep up.
He summoned the Duke of Riviera, and the two had a long and in-depth conversation.
Surprisingly, these two old friends, who had been close since their youth, had their first heated argument.
Because Aubrey insisted that the princess inherit the throne, while Duke Reeves strongly supported the eldest prince.
After all, he had personally witnessed the Crown Prince's efforts to save the capital over the years.
Furthermore, the eldest prince is Aubrey's eldest son and should rightfully inherit the throne.
In the end, however, Aubrey, with an attitude that left no room for refusal, appointed Princess Aurelian to succeed him.
Although the nobles were very dissatisfied with the emperor's decision,
But as mentioned before, the final decision on succession rests with the emperor, and no one can refuse it.
So in the end, Aurelion, who had done nothing, inherited the throne and became Thor IX.
Given the current desolation and decay of the capital, the enthronement ceremony was not held in a grand manner.
The nobles paid their respects to Aurelion only within the palace, bowing in homage to her as subjects.
They watched as Aurelion, barely seventeen years old, sat somewhat bewildered on the throne, respectfully accepting their congratulations:
"Welcome, Your Majesty the Empress."
The year-long demonic invasion has finally come to an end.
The plot of the story remains unchanged, preserving the integrity of the original work.
Standing atop the dilapidated yet gradually regaining-its-form glory royal city, Viktor spoke softly.
"The Queen has taken office. Go and inform Angus."
"We can finally begin our initial plan."
