599,

There was a moment of silence.

Originally prepared to expose the scandal of Water Shrine and spread the truth about the vampire lord, the "address".

Cyclone once tried to turn the situation around by insisting that the "address" was the location that the Great Dragon would attack.

Now that there is no proof, and no one knows what was written on that piece of paper, Cyclone can say whatever he wants.

But little did he know, there was a flaw in this move.

It turns out that on the side of the heretics, the actual location of the Great Dragon's attack had not been confirmed.

By saying this, Cyclone was actually digging himself deeper into a pit.

Is this really the case?

Cyclone sneered and began to clap.

This calm behavior left the man who was raging at him bewildered.

Although the man already had a large axe in hand, ready to kill Cyclone at any moment, Cyclone showed no fear. Instead, after his lie was exposed, he even wore a more relaxed expression.

No one knew that all of this was actually part of Cyclone's calculations.

Grey's surprise just now was actually a prepared act.

Cyclone expressed satisfaction with Grey's impressive remark.

Cyclone smiled, his eyes becoming sharper.

"So this is where the problem lies."

By redirecting all the attention to himself, even though he failed to deceive King Kakaal earlier, it doesn't mean he can't succeed next time.

In order to achieve his goal, Cyclone decided to create "chaos".

"You haven't confirmed the location? So does that mean the Water Shrine lord couldn't possibly know the location? Ha!!"

Cyclone focused his gaze on everyone present, and finally looked back at the man holding the large axe.

"You are so naive, thinking you would be a bit smarter, but in the end, this is all you got?!"

"What?!!"

Enraged, the man raised the axe high.

"Hahaha!!!!"

Suddenly, King Kakaal burst into laughter, easing the tense atmosphere, even causing the man to stop his swing.

"Interesting! Interesting! This is the first time this king has seen an advisor like you who doesn't even know how to write the word 'death'!"

The title of advisor reminded Cyclone of Daniel, the master he could never catch up to.

But Cyclone was not an advisor, just a pretentious young man.

And now, Cyclone was just pretending.

"You are the one who doesn't know how to write the word 'death'~"

With this sarcastic remark, Cyclone even stunned King Kakaal.

"Don't you understand yet?! Again, if you understood, then your country wouldn't have fallen into the hands of others."

Cyclone's words grew more intense, completely ignoring the angry stares from everyone.

When he had raised everyone's anger to the highest level, Cyclone finally revealed his point.

"The location of Great Dragon's attack is no longer for you to decide, it's up to the Water Shrine lord. He decides the path you must take, he arranges everything, leading you step by step onto the path he has chosen for you."

Cyclone pointed upward, towards the direction of Water Shrine.

"The location is still undecided? Don't you get it? In other words, that monster doesn't just know your location, but through manipulation, he will lure you, one by one, to the location he has chosen!"

Like an art form, Cyclone's words were unpredictable. Although it seemed like a dead end, Cyclone managed to make sense of it.

In an instant, Cyclone's words pierced into the hearts of the heretics.

A chaos of betrayal officially began, all because of Cyclone's words.

"In the end, you, the king, are just a puppet being controlled from behind! Your decisions going forward will only be dictated by the address written on that piece of paper!"

Boldly, Cyclone approached King Kakaal.

This time, none of his men stopped Cyclone. Their bodies were already shocked by Cyclone's words.

"Soon, or maybe even before, you have already been manipulated by someone."

With his voice fluctuating, step by step, Cyclone walked to King Kakaal's side.

"Think about it, so far, have your decisions been influenced by someone constantly..."

Cyclone transformed into a demon, guiding King Kakaal's thoughts.

At the moment that Cyclone saw King Kakaal clenching his right hand, he knew.

In this battle of words, Cyclone had already emerged victorious.
