Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!-Chapter 188 : A Present

The Royal Palace... It was a grand and majestic structure that looked over the city. It was placed in the centre of the Core Area of the City.

It was a place where only the strongest of the strong were allowed to enter. Many people in the Kingdom dreamt of one day meeting the Queen and working for her.

This was also the place where Xue was robbed of her Celestial Spirit and the previous king entrapped in the cellar.

As the sunlight reflected off the palace's glistening towers, the palace appeared like it was a palace from heaven.

Xu Shan came closer to the Palace. Unfortunately, this place was very secure. Along the way, he hadn't seen guards as all of them had left the core area to deal with the Demons, but it was different for the palace guards.

Even though the entire city was void of the Guards, the Palace was still heavily guarded, with each of the guards being strong.

Xu Shan circled the Palace Premises to find the weakest point in the defensive line to take advantage of.

After carefully analysing the situation, he noticed a slight gap in the eastern side of the palace where the guards appeared to be more relaxed and less attentive. This appeared to be the weakest security point. All he had to do was take out the guards and enter the palace.

That also made sense. None of the Guards here thought that someone could dare to enter the Royal Palace. Only dumb people could have a plan like that according to them. Even the biggest enemies of the Queen never dared to come to this place.

With the terror that the Queen struck in her enemies' heart, almost everyone knew that defeating her was impossible, especially in her palace, which was under her absolute control work formations, most of which were unfamiliar to even the ones who created those formations on the Queen's instructions.

Xu Shan brought out a black mask, and placed it over his head, only his deep eyes visible through the map. His long hair elegantly came falling behind her.

With each step he took, his black robe elegantly swished behind him, blending seamlessly with the shadows of the palace corridors. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮

The daggers that took the life of General Xue merely a few minutes ago, appeared in his hands. They didn't have a single trace of blood.

He knew that the slightest mistake could spoil everything, but he was determined to succeed. He moved with calculated steps, making sure to stay in the shadows and avoid the guards' line of sight.

The guards at the weak point seemed oblivious to his presence, their attention likely dulled by the false sense of security within the palace walls.

Xu Shan silently approached the first guard, his daggers gleaming in the dim light. With swift precision, his dagger sliced through the guard before he could raise an alarm.

This red line appeared on the Guard's throat. He grabbed his bleeding through but he couldn't let a single word out.

As the guard fell to the ground without a sound, Xu Shan's confidence grew. He moved to the next guard, his movements fluid and graceful. One by one, he killed the guards, making sure to do so silently and swiftly. He knew that his window of opportunity was limited.

With all the guards at the weak point taken out, Xu Shan took a moment to catch his breath. He knew that the hardest part was yet to come— infiltrating the palace itself. He glanced at the imposing entrance, its grandeur matched only by the challenge it posed.

General Xue had entered the palace a few times but he only had limited knowledge. He only knew where the Throne Room was, where he met with the Queen. Other than that, his knowledge was also incomplete.

Other than the memories of General Xue, the other thing that Xu Shan had was the information given to him by the Sister of the Divine Queen.

With a determined resolve, he slipped through the entrance and entered the palace's opulent halls. The intricate tapestries, elaborate chandeliers, and polished marble floors were a stark contrast to the shadows he had been navigating just moments ago.

Despite all the extravagant interior, Xu Shan felt that the Palace appeared quite ordinary, especially from inside the Palace. Comparable to the places he had seen, this place didn't impress him in the least, especially for being the Royal Palace of the only Kingdom in the Divine Realm.

He followed the labyrinthine corridors, his ears attuned to the slightest sounds. As he approached the heart of the palace, he knew that he was getting closer to his ultimate goal.

Along the way, he came across many Servants in the Palace. Albeit, this time he didn't care about hiding.

Those who came across found themselves on the ground before they could even make a sound. After killing them, he didn't leave a single body behind. He kept the bodies in his storage ring.

Along the way, he came across the turn that was supposed to take him towards the Cellar where the King and other powerful enemies were trapped. Looking in the direction, a smile spread across his lips.

He had already seen the Queen kill the Demons. It was only a matter of time before she was to come back.

He thought about giving her a welcoming present. He had a feeling that these people couldn't kill her. She was quite strong, but they could at least keep her busy until he found the Celestial Lotus.

He was strong, but not to the point that he could face the Divine Queen, especially after all the Celestial Spirits she had absorbed. The only method to get stronger in a shorter time was to awaken his Second Celestial Spirit, but he needed time to find the Celestial Lotus.

Xu Shan's deep eyes scanned his surroundings, taking a turn towards the Prison Cells. His demeanor calm and composed.
