Every time Sid switched to his alternate persona, he would, like Epsilon, use slime to boost his height.
The Clown's head was entirely made of slime magic.
A bloody Clown was still a bit monotonous; a headless Clown looked even more terrifying and horrifying.
The Clown walked to his severed head and pressed it onto his neck.
Then he looked at the other spectators present.
Many of the people here had been invited by the Night Sword to watch this battle.
They colluded with the Night Sword, working in cahoots.
None of them were good people.
When everyone saw the Clown looking at them, they all panicked.
They stood up to flee.
But an invisible barrier stopped them.
That was an ancient relic of the Thirteen Night Swords; they used the ancient relic barrier to prevent the Clown from escaping.
Now that all the Thirteen Night Swords were dead, no one knew where the ancient relic was.
They became flustered.
The Clown did not look at the crowd, but instead looked towards the entrance of the arena.
Two figures walked over from there.
A burly man with a very large head, and Daku Aiken, the leader of the Thirteen Night Swords.
He was also Elisa's father.
"Clown, I admit your strength is beyond my imagination, but you probably haven't seen the true darkness of this world, have you!" Daku Aiken said with a smile.
"Stay away, don't get caught in the crossfire!" the muscular man said.
He was Viscount Olba, the current Ninth Seat of the Round Table Knight.
Although his peerage was low, he had completely controlled all the forces of the Midgar Kingdom's The Order.
Other forces of The Order hidden in the dark were also controlled by Olba.
Olba did not know much information about this Clown.
In order to control the Night Sword, Olba planned to kill this Clown to establish his authority.
Shadow also saw Olba.
This was Lord Shadow's biggest patron.
He paid him 100 million Zeny in teaching fees every month.
Although Lord Shadow didn't have much to teach, the other party paid him every month.
This made Lord Shadow very happy, and he poured magic into Olba's body without reservation.
Olba's strength also soared.
Now, without taking drugs, his strength would definitely not be weaker than Fenrir.
He had also connected with Zeta.
He ordered Isaac and his team to continue researching the diabolos' blood.
His idea was the same as Zeta's; he also wanted Sino to achieve immortality.
If it really succeeded at that time, his daughter Milia might also become one of the immortals.
As for himself, he felt he was not worthy.
When he first joined The Order, he also captured many Demon Possessions.
He knew exactly what happened to them.
As a sinner, he would have no regrets even if he sacrificed his life for Shadow Garden.
He had already made up his mind that after Zeta's plan succeeded, he would bear everything.
Eliminating the Diabolos Cult essentially had no meaning to him.
Acting for the justice of the world, holding such a belief was meaningless.
Only the victors could write justice.
For example, the Diabolos Cult, on the surface, they were an incredibly righteous holy sect.
And the Shadow Garden, which truly acted for justice, was now an evil organization.
Olba didn't have much ambition; as an old father, he only wanted his daughter to be safe and sound.
Everything he was doing now was just to atone for his sins.
Olba looked at Milia, who was sitting in the audience.
Milia also met Olba's gaze and smiled slightly.
"As long as my daughter is well, everything I do has meaning."
Viscount Olba attacked the Clown.
The Clown spread his arms, and his three heads and six arms appeared.
This was a suggestion made by Sino, which Lord Shadow adopted.
Using magic to disguise himself as having three heads and six arms.
It looked very intimidating.
"Hehehe~"
At the same time, the three heads simultaneously let out a mocking laugh.
The faces of the audience members were all terrified.
"Three heads and six arms, is this guy still human? He must be a monster!"
Viscount Olba gripped Fenrir's bloodfang.
The bloodfang had not been recovered by Shadow Garden, so it fell into his hands.
Holding the bloodfang, Viscount Olba could clearly feel that the bloodfang was craving blood.
Viscount Olba swung his sword downwards.
A blood-red magic sword energy flew extremely fast towards the Clown.
The Clown turned and dodged the attack.
However, this sword energy directly cut through the spectator stands, and the ancient relic barrier was also directly shattered.
The audience members all ran outside.
"As expected of Lord Olba, a single strike can break through the barrier formed by the ancient relic." Daku Aiken echoed.
Daku Aiken knew that the Night Sword was very weak now and urgently needed the help of The Order, so he could only be a little obsequious.
If the other party didn't help him, the name Thirteen Night Swords would probably disappear.
In the royal capital, there was more than just the Night Sword's influence; others just didn't dare to contend with the Night Sword.
Now, the Thirteen Night Swords only had him, their leader, left.
This was the best time to annex the Night Sword.
No one wasn't tempted by the Night Sword's status.
The Clown launched a surprise attack.
He rushed towards Daku Aiken.
Olba intercepted in time, unleashing an extremely fast sword strike.
The Clown was instantly cut down from the shoulder.
The entire Clown was diagonally split in half, blood splattering.
Viscount Olba cut a few more times, and Jack the Ripper was as dead as could be.
Holding the bloodfang, Olba clearly felt that the bloodfang was still craving blood, as if what it had just consumed wasn't blood.
At this moment, Viscount Olba felt something was wrong.
It seemed the Clown had just thrown something.
He turned his head and saw a King of Spades stuck in Daku Aiken's head,
and the Clown's corpse lying on the ground had vanished without a trace.
"This magic power fluctuation?"
Olba sensed the owner of this magic power.
Inside the arena, there were magic power fluctuations everywhere.
And all the magic power was converging towards one center.
A blue-purple magic sphere suddenly exploded.
Lord Shadow appeared in mid-air.
"Lord Shadow!" Olba exclaimed.
He had no idea that this Clown was Lord Shadow.
After Lord Shadow appeared, he found that everyone present had already fled.
He seemed to have nothing to do.
Then he disappeared from the spot.
"Let's go too!"
Sino said.
"The play is over, it's time to disperse!"
At this moment, the Knights Order stormed in.
After all, with so many people running out in fear, even the dumbest of the Knights Order would know that something big had happened here.
Seeing this huge underground arena, most of the Knights Order members were stunned.
Who would have thought there was an arena hidden here?
And there were no living people left in the venue.
The only corpses here were the tragically killed contestants in the arena, and the Night Sword members with playing cards still stuck in their heads.
Sino and the others left the moment the Knights Order broke in.
Christina held Sino's left arm, Alexia held Sino's right arm.
Milia held Sino's waist.
Sino took them to overlook the entire royal capital from the sky.
"Looking at the royal capital from the sky, it's actually so small!" Alexia exclaimed.
"This, Master can go to the sky, that's amazing!" Christina exclaimed.
Milia didn't speak; she was thinking about her father. She always felt that her father was hiding something from her.
After the Knights Order broke in, Olba left through a secret passage.
He had originally thought he was going to die.
After all, he had indeed just wanted to kill the Clown.
In other words, he had just wanted to kill Lord Shadow.
In that case, his death would have been deserved.
But he completely misunderstood Lord Shadow.
Sino told him to give Lord Shadow 100 million Zeny every month; was that a tuition fee? That was protection money.
100 million Zeny to ensure his safety.
How could Lord Shadow, who valued money over people, kill his biggest patron?
