Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 79 The Cross of Judgment
"Did him."

Caesar raised his hand and waved it.

Four knights raised their longswords and thrust them at the captain.

The captain's body transformed into specks of light, and simultaneously, a beam of light shot out from them—a book. Caesar clearly saw that the title on the cover was *The Pirates of Sisyphus*.

But then the cover changed, and the title suddenly became "Solomon and the Seventy-Two Demons".

As the pages turned, a strong, malevolent aura emanated from the book. In an instant, a demon engulfed in flames, the size of a leopard, and over ten meters tall, leaped out of the book and crashed onto the deck, causing the entire ship to tremble.

"hiss"

The leopard-shaped demon Floros spewed black smoke from its mouth, its lava-cave-like eyes glaring at Caesar.

He suddenly leaped up, twisted in mid-air, and a flaming whip lashed out, striking the heavily armored knight who was blocking Caesar's path.

As the flames exploded, the heavily armored knight retreated several steps, while Caesar used spatial teleportation to leap onto the mast and extinguish the flames on his clothes.

He raised his hand in a gesture, and the four knights surrounding the captain all rushed toward Floros and engaged him in battle.

"It can switch book titles and project the content of the book into reality?"

Based on what he had just seen, Caesar had already guessed the effect of this book.

So, the seven stories Lawrence mentioned before his death mean that this book has seven forms, each with a different effect that can be projected onto reality.

In other words, this single book, "Solomon and the Seventy-Two Demons," has already summoned seventy-two powerful demons into reality.

This ability is a bit ominous.
No, there must be limitations. Otherwise, it wouldn't only summon one at a time. If it summoned all seventy-two at once, it would be impossible to fight. Moreover, the ones it summons don't seem like the legendary demons; they're more like monsters limited to those described in the book.

Caesar gazed at the eerie book floating in the air not far away, its pages turning rapidly.

As if sensing that it had been discovered, it instantly leaped to Floros's body below, merged into it, and disappeared.

With a roar from the leopard-shaped demon Floros, several pillars of fire tore through the deck and rose fiercely around him, directly repelling the four heavily armored knights who were blocking his way.

"Array up!"

Caesar shouted, and the four heavily armored knights raised their giant shields and formed a square formation. Flauros let out a low growl, seemingly very disdainful, and slammed down with his front paws. Cracks appeared on the surrounding deck, and flames that surged out instantly engulfed the four heavily armored knights.

But just as he raised his head, ready to roar in victory, a figure tore through the flames, leaped in front of him, and wielded a double-edged blade, piercing his body and leaving a cross-shaped wound on his chest.

Floros roared and was about to tear the wretched insect apart when Caesar's body leaped back dozens of meters away.

He raised a hand, pointed at the leopard-shaped demon, and shook it.

The cross-shaped wound that should have healed immediately suddenly shone brightly, and Floros's body was locked in place by something. At the same time, a golden cross blade appeared in mid-air above his head, aimed at his neck, and fell heavily.

Judgment Cross, a fifth-order spell, is one of the four highest-order spells that Caesar currently possesses.

After being reborn, his magic power was reset to zero, and because the structure of the world changed after the Great Destruction, many high-level spell casting logics became invalid and disappeared. However, the spells and skills he created could still be used.

These spells, like the powers of the Imperial Seal, are independent of the conventional spellcasting system, so they were not affected by the Great Destruction and can be considered as his legacy.

Judgment Cross is one of them. It used to be my most convenient finishing move; as long as I left a mark on the opponent, Judgment Cross would immediately trigger its finishing effect.

As the cross-shaped blade fell, with a deafening roar, the leopard-shaped demon Floros was decapitated, his body turning into countless specks of light. At the same time, the eerie book flew out of his body.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Caesar immediately locked onto it with the oppressive force of divine wrath, and the book trembled in mid-air, coming to a stop.

Caesar immediately tried to rush forward and subdue it, but then, as if in a final struggle, the book closed, and the cover changed again, this time to a dark green title:
Samba Milan Forest

boom!
This time, thick tree branches kept emerging from the book, countless branches piercing through the entire pirate ship. The branches spread outwards, extending to the tall buildings below, like a spider web, densely covering a large area. The tree trunks extended to the ground, supporting the pirate ship tightly bound in the center, forming a primeval jungle in mid-air, completely changing the surrounding environment.

The book was closed, and then the pages were turned again.

"Tsk."

He swung his longsword in front of him, cutting down the branches blocking his path. A spear materialized before him, releasing extreme pressure and locking onto the strange book above that was turning its pages anew.

It's completely impossible to predict what it will project into reality next, but we absolutely cannot let it continue to run rampant like this. Since we can't subdue it, we'll just destroy it right here!

The golden spear materialized; this was not a weapon summoned from his sacred armory, but rather one of the four high-level spells he possessed: the Spear of Destruction.

The spear shot out fiercely, the magical energy instantly burning away all the surrounding branches before heading straight for the book.

A violent explosion rang out from the sky, and everyone below saw a golden light tear through layers of branches and soar into the air from the center of what looked like a large sphere.

Hiss
At this moment, in the center, a rift through which sunlight streamed in appeared before Caesar, and within it, the book floated perfectly intact, its title now changed to:
"nothingness"

Within the city below.

The members of the Rhinek Bureau were clearing out the looted skeleton soldiers, while Angori stared at the pirate ship with its branches entwined in the sky, his face grave.

His men rushed over.

"Captain, the hunter has arrived! And who is controlling him?"

“Me,” Angoli said.

Your subordinate's face stiffened. "But your body..."

“Don’t worry about that,” Angeli said. “Get ready.”

Just as his subordinates were about to say something, a limousine pulled up and stopped in front of them. The back door opened, and a petite young woman stepped out.

"Fetree" Angori's face darkened.

"What are you doing here?"

“Fetre has far more experience dealing with these kinds of incidents than you do; regulators are ineffective against it,” Ita said calmly.
“From this moment forward, the Frederick family will take full control. You may all leave.”
