Chapter 440: Falling into the Trap

1 HOUR AGO.

As the public broadcast started in the central city of the Berawaa region where the memorial ceremony was being carried out. Thousands of people marched with a somber expressions while carrying big candles and torches in their hands.

On the memorial site, Kahn, Omega, Blackwall, Oliver and Ceril had gathered along with the other government officials and military officers to give their respect to the fallen.

After an hour, the ceremony ended while the broadcast continued where Kahn and the others were still carrying out their duties.

Just then… Victor Apopis, the halfbreed demonkin semi-saint scythe warrior left the ceremony saying that he was done with his part.

50 kilometers away from the central city of the Berawaa region, over a dozen warriors belonging to different professions and ranks were gathered in a deep and silent jungle.

Swoosh!

"You're here, Lord Victor." spoke a Mithrans spear warrior. Soon, all the others among this group bowed toward the demonkin who just arrived with respect.

"Yeah… I just left using a transportation scroll. I thought that Salvatore had gathered something incriminating against us.

But that fool seems too timid. Haha!" spoke Victor with an elated expression.

"Why, yes. Of course!

He is probably still shaken by the fact that he couldn't find any clue about the massacre.

Maybe he doesn't even know that the massacre was actually a planned one. Haha!" said an elven woman who seemed to be a master rank halberd warrior.

"Still, none of us could've done it without your help, lord Victor.

Although we successfully operated the isolation artifacts from a distance… if not for you leading those monster hordes towards the garrisons… none of this would be possible." spoke an old thrall archer.

"Hey, hey! Don't forget that it was also lord Victor who successfully attacked and broke through the line of defense in all four directions.

Otherwise, those mindless monsters wouldn't have been able to break through their formations easily. It would have taken a lot of time and maybe they would have managed to send a distress signal.

It is all thanks to our powerful lord Victor that we successfully managed to carry out the operation." said a wolfkin mage amongst the group as he was doing a great job at bootlicking.

Victor on the other hand had a prideful expression on his face as if this was something praiseworthy.

"Hah! That lowlife commoner bastard was acting all tough and mighty because he won the competition.

He dared to disrespect me on several occasions.

This shall teach him a lesson." said Victor with a tone full of disdain.

"That peasants like them live only to serve the powerful.

After this incident gets blown out of proportion… it won't even take a month before the government from the capital calls for official impeachment." he said with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Victor. With Kahn Salvatore gone and all of our people who already infiltrated government and military, it won't even take long before Verlassen fiefdom becomes our domain.

In a way, him taking over as the Sovereign has greatly helped us. He took out all of our enemies during his reign and now we will reap the rewards." said the mage again.

"The Pureblood and Neutral faction hit their own feet with an axe by allying themselves with him.

The faction council and lord faction leader are indeed foresighted. They used his Savior of the Commoners act against himself.

This will be the perfect revenge against him for killing commander Aswala and defaming our Demi-Human faction." spoke Victor as he reveled in his achievement.

But unbeknownst to all these people celebrating their victory… a black shadow suddenly escaped from Victor's own shadow.

[Master, I'm done.] spoke Ronin.

The rogue general had been hiding under Victor's shadow since the ceremony started.

And under Kahn's orders… the subordinate with the best assassination skills was recording the whole conversation.

BOOM!!

A frightening aura spread across this forested land and suddenly, Kahn exited out of the True Dimension.

Thud!

Jugram jumped out of Kahn's shadow.

"Alright… All the rats have gathered.

Time to play Cat & Mouse."

Kahn had planned this simple yet effective move to confirm Victor as the main perpetrator of the incident.

And the one present at the memorial ceremony wasn't Kahn but his doppelganger.

Although Kahn was certain that only Victor fit all the criteria…

Rather than arresting him and forcing a confession out of him... Kahn wanted the truth to come out of Victor's mouth voluntarily.

So they deliberately spread the news that Kahn had a clue.

Because of this rumor, Victor and all of his hidden allies were forced to gather. That's why Kahn held the memorial ceremony where his doppelganger with SS Rank mana cores to sustain himself took Kahn's place.

Because his future plans also needed him to have a perfect alibi.

And he sent Ronin in Victor's shadow to gather the evidence. By using the Telepathy Link he gained from Ashokvatika, Kahn quickly found out their location and traveled to this place using the Dimensional Void.

So when they spoke about their actions without any pressure and with happy faces… they had already given Kahn the much-needed proof.

But before giving anyone a chance to react, Kahn quickly used the Dimensional Domain skill that surrounded, entrapped and weakened all the members present here.

After that, he used the Dimensional Domain and under the weakened state in his domain. The Semi-saint Victor was on par with Jugram.

Kahn did not fight back and only watched as Jugram in his human form beat Victor to a pulp given his skills.

Hundreds of assassin subordinates appeared out of his shadow and incapacitated the other members of the group who seemed like the chain of command sent by the Demi-Human faction to carry out the operation.

Kahn then walked from behind Jugram, who was donned in red armor.

He finally had the main perpetrator who carried out the massacre.

Kahn looked at the defeated figure of Victor.

The man who killed thousands of his fellow countrymen without a second thought in the name of following orders.

To Kahn… just a simple form of vengeance wasn't going to cut it anymore.

Kahn spoke with a sinister tone as he was going to make his enemies shed tears of blood for crossing the limit.

"Now let the show begin."
