Mage Veigar

Chapter 672 Leaving
Vega clenched his empty palm.

He looked at Xia, as if he wanted to say something, but what?
Questioning, blaming, scolding… or praying?
No, there was no need to ask with words, the answer was already written on Xia's face.

Her eyes were full of tears, but she smiled happily as she looked at Vega: "It's great to see you at the end. This must be the greatest gift God has given me, but please forgive me for not being able to leave with you."

Xia turned and looked at the smoke-filled battlefield.

She said with determination in her eyes: "It was Xia's willfulness that ruined your efforts so far and even caused you such a big trouble, so please believe me, Xia will definitely solve all the troubles here by herself!"

He raised the staff in his hand again.

Xia looked at the bone dragon that was about to tear Shadow into pieces. She regretted her own willfulness, but she knew that with Vega's ability, as long as he escaped to the Galan Empire, he would be able to make a comeback.

But not before that.

This monster, which she had created, must be dealt with.

If this monster is not dealt with, it may even threaten Vega’s life and subsequent plans. Even if the monster cannot be defeated, time must be bought for Vega’s retreat. After all, she is... the king!
Honor, faith, responsibility, fault...

All of this needs to be borne by her as the king.

In addition to Vega, there are also the civilians and soldiers of Saint Laurent City. Everything of this needs to be the responsibility of her as the king.

That's right, she is already a king.

From the moment she put on the purple-gold crown, whether she admitted it or not, she was already a king who needed to take responsibility and faults. Her army was still fighting for her, and her people still needed her protection. How could she retreat at this time? There was no other choice except to fight to the death.

Once upon a time, Vega was everything to her.

But from the moment she volunteered to be the king, she had to bear the responsibility of the entire dynasty except Vega.

Vega looked at Shia's back.

He had never imagined that the girl already had her own ideas and she seemed to have really become a king.

But in Vega's opinion, the path she chose was wrong.

A merciful king is useless in any world.

A king who can truly achieve hegemony must be cruel and ruthless. For his own benefit, he can personally push millions of people into the fire pit. They can also easily throw their responsibilities behind their backs and regard everyone as a pawn that can be discarded and used at any time.

This is the eternal law of the jungle.

A benevolent king... This is simply a fairy tale that deceives children. There is no benevolent king in this world. Even if there is a king who truly regards kindness as a belief, it must be a strategy to whitewash himself and deceive the common people.

If any king takes "mercy" seriously, he will surely seek his own death.

So he would sacrifice his life for such ridiculous "kindness" and "responsibility"? Vega would never agree to such a thing. Even if he had to die, he would have to die meaningfully. If he died in such a place, he wouldn't even be qualified to be sung as a hero.

Veigar took two steps forward and snatched Shia's staff.

He forcefully grabbed Xia's hand again and said, "Let's go. I have forgiven you. The country can be rebuilt if it is gone. As long as we are alive, we will make them pay back what they lost with interest sooner or later."

"But……"

"Are you questioning my ability?"

"No, no, but I am the king, I need to take responsibility..."

"Honor, responsibility, obligation... all are shackles that bind the king."

Vega snorted disdainfully. He stood on tiptoe, took off Xia's crown, and threw it under the tower: "Well, from now on, you are no longer the king. Say goodbye to those responsibilities and obligations now."

"But..." Xia wanted to say something else.

Vega didn't give her a chance. He took off the ring on his ring finger and put it on Xia's hand: "Now, you are only the wife of me, Vega Saint Laurent. Come home with me."

Vega's voice made Shia unable to hold back her emotions any longer.

She fled with Veigar, abandoning her soldiers and betraying her subjects.

But at this moment, Xia showed a real smile. She finally let go of the guilt, responsibility, obligation, and honor that bound her, and at the same time she understood how much Vega cared about her.

There is obviously no contract.

She is no longer the king of the dynasty.

Vega could have just ignored her and walked away.

But he forgave her for being so willful, and stood up to such a powerful monster. All of this proved Vega's feelings. It turned out that her prince had never gone far and never left her. Everything was just her worrying.

But what Xia didn't know was.

Although he lost almost all of his foundation in this war, Vega became the biggest winner.

The dynasty was destroyed, and the Galan Empire will replace the dynasty, and he will replace Xia as the new belief here.

One of the biggest threats, Okathos, also died, and no one stood against him after that.

Finally, when he obtained the two trump cards, Xia and Yisha, he also advanced to the Star Mage and became a real boss on the battlefield. After all, the Star Shadow Mage was so powerful that even the Word Spirit Mage could not detect his existence.

To die and then to live.

Everything is going according to Veigar's pre-war arrangements. It is entirely predictable that this boss will return as a king next.

Augustus and Foster both guessed this.

The moment they saw Vega appear on the city wall, it was as if they had foreseen the future and saw the scene of Vega's resurgence, so how could they not be afraid.

"Captain Augustus."

Foster actually came to Augustus in person, pointed in the direction where Vega left and said, “Quick! Tell your army’s bone dragons to ignore the battlefield on the ground and chase Vega immediately. We must not let him leave here alive.”

"It's... too late."

Augustus smiled bitterly and pointed to the sky.

Since Vega's strength was not enough to completely control the shadow, the bone dragon tore the shadow into pieces.

However, it has been 1.5 hours since the bone dragon appeared. Its entire body is turning into powder and slowly disappearing into the air. The only trump card of the Holy Dragon Kingdom has been consumed here.

"How, how could this happen?"

Augustus and Foster all fell silent, their eyes filled with confusion. They clearly still had the advantage, but now they found that they didn't know how to fight the next war.

Carol was also confused with them.

After discovering that Vega had escaped from prison, he hurried back to the battlefield, but in the end he watched Vega leave without the courage to stop him from taking Shia away. Just as Foster and the others were afraid of Vega's war talent, he saw Vega's terrifying posture of using magic to fight against the bone dragon alone, so how could he not be confused.

That was the monster that killed his teacher!
But Veigar was able to fight it alone for such a long time using magic.

With such a huge gap in strength, how can he take the queen away from Vega?
