Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 349 The Princess in the Wardrobe
The palace was engulfed in white light.

The entire princess's palace melted under the impact.

Such a massive commotion could no longer be concealed. However, at that moment, several other places within the palace experienced spectacular explosions, primarily for their sound and light effects.

That was preparation made before Wu Chen arrived, originally intended to deal with the worst possible scenarios. However, now, this preparation has come in the most limited form of use.

It's good that no one was injured or killed.

Wu Chen stepped forward and saw Marys, who was standing in front of Lia. Her entire body had been scorched and carbonized by the bombardment of the white destructive beam.

She's not dead yet. This is thanks to the highest level of healing magic, Level 2. Her carbonized skin is still deteriorating and regenerating in the air, and perhaps in a few minutes, or even seconds, she will be fully recovered.

She was still alive, and Lydia behind her was naturally unharmed as well. However, the secret passage they had used for escape had collapsed under the bombardment of the white destructive beam. And this willful and capricious little princess was now left with nowhere to run.

Panic finally showed in those blue eyes. And as Wu Chen approached her, she struggled to keep from letting out a scream.

“If we stop now, we can pretend nothing ever happened.” The blue-haired princess straightened her back, maintaining the demeanor and bearing of a princess of Lysas. “I’ve thought about it, and the conditions I offered before were really too poor. How about this: I’ll give you all my savings. I can also recommend you to be the prime minister of Lysas… Maris is very beautiful, isn’t she? I can marry her to you too. If you’re still worried, I can cast a slave contract spell on her; Maris definitely won’t resist.”

Somewhat unexpected.

In Wu Chen's mind, Marys was like Leah's eyes, hands, feet, and even her closest relative. She would never betray Marys. And since Marys was willing to go to such lengths, it naturally proved the extent of her sincerity.

--wrong.

Wu Chen caught a glimpse of Lia's deeply hidden forbearance. And these slight misperceptions arising from his precognitive abilities naturally vanished. After all…

—This is a woman with political skills at level 2.

—Compromise, sacrifice, and exchange of benefits are just like eating and drinking for her.

Thoughts turn.

Wu Chen continued walking forward.

Maris, who had barely regained her human form, struggled to raise her hand and, in a hoarse voice, tried to grab Wu Chen's foot.

"Please... spare Princess Leah."

"If you have any problems, just come at me... I'm willing to do anything."

Wu Chen stopped walking.

"Willing to do anything? What kind of mindset led you to say that?"

"You think you can bear the burden of a mere defeated opponent's life?"

He answered casually.

This may have given Mary a glimmer of hope.

"I...can bear it."

Wu Chen smiled.

"If only someone could take responsibility for the lives of those girls who died at her hands."

"Gu..."

Mary's eyes widened.

Wu Chen raised his palm.

The next moment, Leah's entire upper body was sent flying, half of her body crashing into a broken wall in the distance, splattering into a spray of broken blood.

Princess Lysas didn't even have time to let out a scream. And Marys' eyes suddenly lost their light and luster.

"Princess Li...Lia!?"

She let out a piercing and painful scream.

Wu Chen simply stood there, waiting quietly until a few seconds had passed.

Nothing happened. There was no divine punishment descending from the sky, nor a demon king suddenly appearing. There wasn't even the intruding Miss Lance, or that young redhead who had already embarked on the path of the hero at this point in time.

Without a powerful force, they were concerned about Lydia's death.

Only Mary let out a pitiful scream and cast a look of deep hatred at Wu Chen.

So……

"Death is not the end."

There was no need to use resurrection magic, because Leah's soul had been bound to her flesh and blood by the witch dust from the very beginning. The pure silver light touched her long before the white destructive rays erupted, thus avoiding any interaction with the soul administrators of this world.

The finger twitched slightly.

The ruptured flesh and blood rapidly coalesced, allowing the girl's delicate and frail body to be rebuilt.

"Eek!" The reborn princess screamed. With her soul bound to her body by pure silver, it naturally meant that any trauma inflicted on her body could not be hidden by fainting or death.

"It hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much!" She fell to the ground, rolling and struggling. As a princess, this was probably the first time in her life she had experienced such terrible trauma.

—It makes me feel like the villain.

—I was clearly the one upholding justice.

Wu Chen shook his head, removing the phrase "chivalrous deeds" from his code of conduct as an "adventurer." The identity he had chosen to become didn't contain many attributes of a "knight-errant," and he couldn't let that hold him back.

but……

"Indeed, there was a lack of consideration," Wu Chen thought. This world wasn't a place where death meant the end. The vengeful spirits of the girls tortured to death by Leah still lingered somewhere in this city. And if they wanted to punish this unruly princess, they didn't need Wu Chen to do it for them.

So--

“If you keep making noise, I’ll crush your limbs and then chain you to a flagpole,” he casually threatened.

Almost instantly, Princess Lysas, who had been writhing and struggling just a moment before, raised her hand and covered her trembling mouth.

Marys quickly crawled over and hugged her—the head maid's body had largely returned to normal thanks to the highest level of restoration.

So Wu Chen stretched out his palm and pinched out a suitcase from the ruins that was just big enough to hold the two girls.

“Go in yourselves,” he said. “Or I’ll shove you into an even narrower place.”

They did as instructed.

Then, ten minutes later...

While the entire royal city of Lisas was in chaos due to the explosion of the princess's palace and the disappearance of Lia, Wu Chen, carrying a briefcase, calmly returned to his luxurious hotel room.

He opened the wardrobe and moved the blanket tucked next to the unfortunate ninja. Then he reached out and removed the restraints from Kanami's mouth.

"You...you've given up?" the purple-haired ninja asked cautiously. "I told you, the royal city is heavily guarded. You should...you should give up the idea of ​​being her enemy."

Wu Chen did not answer.

Wu Chen simply opened the briefcase.

The next moment, he heard Kanami's incredulous, suppressed scream.

"Ma... Lady Maris?"

"Princess Leah?"

Each cry was more frantic than the last, each cry more desperate than the last.

Lia and Maris, who had been taken out of the box by Wu Chen, stared at her intently.

“Go in a little further,” Wu Chen said, ignoring Kanami’s trembling and wavering.

"Until I figure out what really happened, this wardrobe will be your home."
