Lith closed his eyes and browsed through things in his mind.
He had fully unlocked Grand Lust Sovereign's inheritance, and he faintly remembered that there was a little something available that could help Lith in the current situation.
Grand Lust Sovereign's inheritance was a plethora of solutions to all problems his inheritor may face. It was done to ensure his legacy continued and his inheritor didn't stupidly die from some angry husband or suffer and become unable to cultivate further.
Lith knew it as that guy had put a note for various things in the inheritance.
Browsing through the inheritance in the system, Lith finally found what he was looking for.
It was a manual with the title 'Wrath of the Divine.'
The manual had the list of things needed to perform the technique and its effects, uses, and the method to use it.
Finishing reading it, Lith opened his eyes and, with a glint in them, said softly, "I need to gather the materials."
He looked toward the Royal Castle and thought to himself, 'It should not be possible to get things from the treasury right now; Luna and everyone else is busy with the event.'
The Royal Castle was empty as all servants were busy managing the event at the City Hall.
The castle was defenseless and vulnerable right now. If anyone attacked it, well… it would be too late for the servants to rush there and save it.
But of course, nobody in the world dared to do something like that or were out of their minds. People knew there were much better ways to commit suicide than to do that.
Since Lith had no option but to go to the Royal Treasury, he decided to take the help of someone else.
Lith took out his phone and dialed Hecate's number.
The call was instantly picked up, and Hecate's calm voice was heard from the other side.
"How may I help you, Your Highness?"
"Miss Hecate, I urgently need…." Lith didn't bother to exchange pleasantries right now and went straight to the point, surprising Hecate, who was on the other side.
She, however, didn't comment on it and noted down everything Lith needed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFinally, after Lith was done, he asked, "how long will it take?"
Hecate replied instantly, "it'll be delivered to you within a minute, Your Highness."
"A minute?" Lith was surprised. So fast?
"Yes, Your Highness. Anything else I can help you with?"
"No, that's all," Lith said calmly.
"Okay, I am on it. Please excuse me." Hecate cut the call after saying so.
Lith waited for a minute in his place. As Hecate had said, a box containing the materials appeared right before him, surprising him once again.
'She wasn't kidding.' He thought to himself.
Lith had forgotten that the person whose help he enlisted was not an ordinary person. Hecate was a Witch Queen, one of the only nine in the world. Ony Florencia was above her; thus, she could be said to be at the top of the world.
Lith commended Hecate for her quick service in his heart and decided to thank her when he saw her later.
He took the box and, using a teleportation token, went straight to a nearby mountain peak.
Lith needed an empty and high place to perform the technique, and he had a good idea of his own city's topography and thus appeared on this mountain.
Walking to the cliff's edge, Lith took out a meter-long spine of a Saint Tier beast from the box Hecate sent.
He then took out a red token from the box. Making a hole in the spinal bone, Lith inserted the token into it.
He held the spine with both hands and took a deep breath before hacking it down on the ground. He then started engraving a magic circle there.
Lith released some of his spiritual power and let it enter the token. As soon as it reached the token…
BOOM!
With an explosion, Lith was sent flying, but he managed to stabilize himself by opening his wings.
'I let out too much spiritual power.' Lith thought to himself and spat blood at the side.
His custom-made clothes, thankfully, were sturdy enough to withstand the explosion and didn't get torn.
Lith flew back towards the circle. He checked the spine and found a crack in it, but the token was intact.
"I never thought that just a strand of a Half Emperor's spiritual power was enough to send me flying."
According to the manual, the better energy you could channel into the magic circle, the better you would see its effect. Lith thus got himself a token filled with a Half Emperor Rank's spiritual power.
He could handle King Rank's spiritual power with a bit of difficulty, but he knew it wouldn't be enough. He thus decided to push himself and got a Half Emperor's spiritual power in the token from Hecate.
Lith hacked the spine at the magic circle once again and, this time, let out just a little amount of his spiritual power, causing a similar level of spiritual energy from the token to come out.
The Half Emperor Rank's spiritual power traversed through the spine Lith was holding and entered the magic circle on the ground.
Lith's hand shook intensely, and he struggled to keep the spine in its place. But he didn't falter and continued to repeat this process until the spiritual power was imbued thoroughly inside the magic circle.
Halfway through, the spine couldn't hold onto the spiritual power channeling through it and broke. Lith had to use another one, and he decided to go for a higher-level beast bone this time.
It was a Half King Tier beast's spinal bone. Just as Lith imbued some spiritual power into it, it shook so intensely that it was becoming impossible for Lith to hold it in place.
Lith had to grip it with all his strength. The amount of pressure Lith was applying caused the veins on his hands and neck to appear, and his face was starting to become red.
Lith, however, focused, and after a few minutes of hard work, he finished imbuing the spiritual power into the magic circle.
Lith then added a few materials to the magic circle. Finally, one last thing was remaining, and it would be finished.
Lith took out a vial of blood from his ring. It was Lucy's blood, and he dropped a little bit of it in the middle of the magic circle.
The magic circle immediately lit up and went above Lith's head.
The circle revolved, and two red beams of light soon shot out of the circle. One went straight toward the sky, and one went inside Lith's head.
Lith immediately felt information pouring into his head, and he closed his eyes to get a better look at it.
[Alert: Excess information may hurt the host.]
The system sent a notification.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLith knitted his brows as he got disturbed by the system. But then the waves of information that hit him made him realize that the system may be right.
'Add the information into system storage.' Lith commanded.
[Adding…]
The waves of information went from Lith's mind to the system and got stored, lifting the pressure from him.
Soon, when the information pouring in stopped, Lith accessed it through the system and found…
"Huh? All people are from the Vampire Continent?"
But then it struck him, "No, it could be that the circle could only detect the people from within the continent."
There were around ten people on the list. Their name, age, cultivation, everything was present in the list. What they were doing and their history; the magic circle provided each and every piece of information regarding them to Lith.
But the only thing was these ten people were from the Vampire Continent, which made Lith understand that the range of the magic circle only lay within the continent.
It sucked to keep wasting time on the magic circles, but it didn't matter. Lith would do it as fast as he could and finish this.
Having the list of people he needed to deal with, Lith took a deep breath and opened his eyes.
His eyes had a tinge of red on them as his bloodlust rose from the anger he had. But thankfully, it wasn't anywhere enough to make him irrational like before.
Lith walked towards the edge of the peak, and looking at the vast darkness in front of him, he said calmly, "System, summon Neo."
[Summoning…]
Lith's silver hair flew in the breeze as he stood at the edge of the cliff in a fine suit and long coat, his eyes emitting his clear intent to kill.
A magenta streak of lightning flashed from the sky towards Lith, and in the next instant, a teenager appeared right behind him, bowing.
"Master." The teenager said.
Lith extended his hand to the side and said calmly, "Come, we have to get rid of some perverted bugs."
Neo trembled from excitement as he heard that, and his body immediately transformed into a Destruction sword and flew into Lith's hand.
Lith vanished from the spot with Neo, on his way to eliminate the people involved one by one.
