I must say, Shane held a huge grudge in his confrontation with Lymco this time.
Hasn't Shane always known that the eldest son of the Sterling Family had been targeting him?
Before his relationship with Luoqi was even confirmed, this guy and his Duke father had tried to strike at him more than once behind his back. Did he really think Shane would forget all these?
Especially Lymco, this hypocrite. While secretly hating Shane to death, he would act kind and intimate in front of him, pretending to be brothers with him. If Shane hadn't been as powerful back then or didn't have an excuse to strike, he would have kicked this hypocrite away long ago.
Now, who knows what Lymco had eaten, but he had changed, seeming neither human nor ghost, and had sided with Moro. Flaunting power in such a place, he even boasted in front of the High Priest that he would deal with Shane and steal his wife. Shane didn't strike him then, which had already been incredibly tough restraint.
Now, with old and new hatred added together, Shane could no longer hold back, channeling all his resentment for this hypocrite into every kick, mercilessly thrashing him.
It was already uncountable how many times Lymco had spurted blood.
Under Shane's increasingly fierce kicks, Lymco felt his chest bones break.
Agonizing pain coursed through his body, causing Lymco to scream in vain.
He wanted to struggle, to fight back, even to desperately gamble with his life, but under Shane's ruthless kicking, he couldn't even get up, couldn't defend, like a humble weakling, being wantonly trampled.
This instilled fear in Lymco, while humiliation flooded his mind.
(Why is he so strong?)
(I... can't I even put up a decent resistance?)
(I clearly became stronger!)
(I did get stronger!!!)
Gasping for his last breath and gathering his Magic Power, Lymco struggled painfully while roaring in his mind.
At this moment, he thought of the Princess.
That peerless beauty, the Kingdom's Treasure that made everyone in the world fall for her.
After being brought here, he had heard that she had formally solidified her relationship with Shane amidst the blessings of the world and in the joy of Pu Country, had gotten engaged.
At that time, he went mad, obsessed, with his mind filled only with the news of her engagement.
With such questions, Lymco completely descended into madness. Help us continue by reading at the source: *.
The past obsession had turned into present insanity.
Previously, Lymco had focused solely on Luoqi, his heart only had room for her, not even bothering to look at other women, believing they were unworthy of him and not someone he should engage with.
He initially joined the Guard Knight Order only to follow his family's arrangements, without any personal desire for achieving fame or success, performing his family's missions like an indifferent machine, otherwise, he was detached from everything.
But the moment he saw that Princess, Lymco was intoxicated, obsessed, fallen.
Since then, Lymco had a goal.
That was to possess that Princess.
For this, he strived hard, spending two years gaining experience in the Guard Knight Order, receiving countless praises.
For this, he also cooperated actively with his family, aiming to use their power to get closer to the Princess.
He didn't rush, progressing steadily toward achieving his goal one day.
Everything was going according to plan without any mistakes.
Until that man appeared.
An unknown adventurer from a remote rural town, yet he managed to meet the Princess and win her recognition.
He defied conventions, not playing by the rules, even daring to confront his own father in front of so many Nobles, refusing the King, and scoffing at fame and fortune.
Many couldn't see through him, many disliked him, yet, inexplicably, the Princess favored him, having an excellent private relationship with him.
Many young Nobles were jealous, and Lymco was utterly taken by surprise.
Thus, to eliminate this destined rival, Lymco didn't hesitate to greet him with a smile.
During that time in Cosmos, he kept thinking about how to remove this annoying rival and make him disappear.
It can be said that for that Princess, Lymco transformed from a family tool into an unscrupulous lover, almost without limit.
Under such circumstances, Luoqi got engaged to Shane, becoming his fiancée, how could Lymco not go mad?
From that time, Lymco chose to fall.
He was moved by the future portrayed by the High Priest and accepted the olive branch he offered, even killing his own uncle and his uncle's nephew, as well as countless others in the First Knight Order who wanted to resist, becoming a subordinate of the High Priest.
He also swallowed the "Spirit Essence" to enhance his power, despite some side effects, he didn't hesitate.
He had only one desire.
That was to completely defeat that man and turn that Princess into his own possession.
Something within Lymco exploded in an instant.
Suddenly, a surge of magic power burst forth from the surroundings, raising windswept waves.
Shane, whose foot was just about to land, suddenly stopped, his eyes beneath the hood sharply focusing in surprise.
The source of the bursting magic power was none other than Lymco.
At this moment, a tremendous magic power burst forth from Lymco's body, like floodwaters through a sluice gate.
That magic power, perhaps not as great as Shane's, was incredibly cold and viscous.
Lymco opened his eyes.
His eyes, aside from the pupils turning a pale green, were surrounded by pitch-blackness.
Those were not the eyes of a living person.
Lymco roared, releasing the chilling magic power in all directions.
In the midst of the muffled sound, Shane was blown away by the sudden explosion of magic power.
Like a kite with its string cut, he was pushed back a great distance before finally stabilizing his position with a tip of his toes on the ground and dissipating the force.
Shane dusted off his cloak and looked towards Lymco.
Under Shane's gaze, Lymco's body shakily rose and began to transform.
First, his bright blond hair turned white from the roots, aging into a head of white hair.
Then, his nails grew ceaselessly until they became as sharp as knives.
Next, he sprouted fangs, and black veins started to protrude, becoming noticeable on his cheeks.
A noble son from a great noble house, an imposing knight, was now a demon-like being.
Shane's "Outer Destiny" almost reflexively activated, peering towards Lymco.
Under "Outer Destiny", Shane watched as both Lymco's level and skills underwent changes.
His level soared crazily from eighty-four, climbing up to ninety.
His original skills disappeared, replaced by a "Death Spirit" skill, which was not just any skill, but a Special Skill, surprising Shane.
Previously, Shane's "Identification" skill could see through a person's level and skills, but not their Unique Skills and Special Skills.
It was only with the birth of "Outer Destiny" that Shane could detect the existence of Special Skills, though he still couldn't see Unique Skills.
Thus, Shane saw the birth of Lymco's Special Skill "Death Spirit", but also saw that, at the moment this skill was born, not only did Lymco's original skills disappear, but so did his Blessing of the Gods, which directly vanished.
It meant that Lymco no longer possessed the Divine Race's blessing.
Typically, a god's blessing disappeared under three conditions.
One was swearing by the blessing, as had once been done by Harvis; if the oath was unfulfilled, then the blessing would vanish.
Another was if the god who bestowed the blessing died, which would cause the blessing to disappear.
And the last was if the holder of the blessing committed an egregious sin offensive to both gods and humans, leading to the abandonment by the blessing.
Such a great sin wasn't as simple as killing or framing someone; it had to reach a level appalling to both gods and humans.
Now, Lymco's blessing had disappeared.
This situation effectively ruled out the first two possibilities.
This meant that Lymco had become a being offensive to both gods and humans.
Completely transformed into a monster, Lymco roared, his pitch-dark, greenish eyes fixed on Shane.
The next second, Lymco disappeared.
He shattered the ground beneath him and shot towards Shane.
His speed was as fast as lightning.
His figure as fleeting as a ghost.
In the blink of an eye, Lymco appeared before Shane, furiously slashing down with his sharp claws.
The ground suddenly shook, splitting apart and sending numerous stones flying into the air.
