Although Diaros was also weak, he was slightly stronger than A-Tui and had the advantage due to the length of the petal whip in his hand.

However, Lu Ye could also see that Diaross had obviously received some training from his family. His movements were actually quite skillful, and he no longer had the previous weakness in his movements. Every time he swung the whip, he was full of power.

Lu Ye knew that this was the power born from hatred.

As time went on, Ame gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. She activated the combat technique of Roger's rapier, and the Shining Sword appeared, but it was countered by Diaros using the relic stone she carried with her.

This surprised Ah Tui.

The Radiant Sword Formation is designed to protect the user. The Radiant Sword will automatically track incoming enemies and objects. Diaros reacted so quickly that he was able to throw a stone at himself immediately to trigger the Radiant Sword's protection mechanism.

"How could someone as weak as you kill my brother?!" Diaros said. "You couldn't have killed him!"

“I definitely couldn’t beat someone like him in a head-on fight, but I can easily slit his throat while he’s resting,” A-Tu said, clumsily swinging his rapier. “Luck is also a part of strength, you know. You can’t not recognize the helmet that your family has passed down through generations, can you?”

"Bastard, I'm going to kill you!!"

Seeing Diaros's performance, Lu Ye finally became certain of the key point.

Diaros can still be saved.

That's the reason why A-Tui was chosen to play.

With such a weak opponent, even if one's blood is boiling, one should still be suspicious.

If it were truly to avenge Yuno Hoslau, then Diaros would have asked the same question as before.

But if Diaros chooses not to speak and continues fighting, then his intention is clear: to kill Ame, to stain his hands with her blood, and to walk the "hero's path" that Tanis spoke of.

Unfortunately, even if Diaross were to follow this path as he wished, he would only meet a tragic end.

He will not become a hero, but will only become a stepping stone for Raccard.

Of course, Lu Ye knew that he and A Tui could not easily change Diaros's mind.

The trouble should end it.

Whoever planted the seed of "heroism" in him is responsible for removing it.

I wonder how much longer it will take Melina to bring the person...

Not long after, an exhausted Ah Tui collapsed to the ground.

Diaros raised the petal whip high at Ame.

Lu Ye's fingers twitched slightly, and the Imperial Arms Dimensional Array: Shangri-La was ready to be deployed at any time.

"go to hell……"

Diaros looked at A-Tui and spoke, but did not rush to make a move.

He wanted to see the man who killed his brother beg for mercy, so as to avenge Juno Hoslau.

But the response he received was A-Tui's laughter.

“No way, you want to kill people, but you can’t accept the killing of the people around you?” A-Mei said. “If you really wanted to become a Herrscher, you should have come with me to kill Yuno Hoslau. That way, you would have followed the path that Tanis pointed out to you, become the sole heir of the family, and no one would have considered you a disgrace to the family anymore… at least on the surface.”

Ah Tui's words were incredibly sarcastic.

"Shut up! You're not worthy to mention that name!"

Just as Diaros was about to swing his petal whip, which was covered in deadly barbs,

Heavy footsteps sounded in the distance, accompanied by the rattling of armor.

The footsteps were soft, but very steady, like a boulder pressing down on us, forcing us to turn our attention to the other side.

Diaros looked in that direction and saw a person completely covered in armor walking towards them.

"who are you?"

“A Herrscher,” the other person said, their voice echoing slightly from inside the helmet.

“To harm one’s fellow citizens is to break the rules and eliminate traitors.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the other person rushed over, not intending to say another word.

Diaross was slightly puzzled by the tone and manner of the other person's speech.

But when he saw the long sword thrusting towards him, his doubts vanished instantly.

Traitors sent from the Volcano Mansion to purge traitors!

Diaros didn't even bother dealing with A-Tui before running towards the back.

But the enemy pursued relentlessly, and its speed, even faster than Diaross's, was due to its full suit of armor.

Just as his opponent was about to catch up, Diaros suddenly rolled to the side, and before his opponent could react, he swung his petal whip again, making a cracking sound.

The opponent seemed to have excellent eyesight, able to clearly capture the trajectory of the whip's movement. He calmly countered the attack with his sword, then smoothly wrapped the whip around it, restraining Diaross while simultaneously closing in on him.

Diablos broke out in a cold sweat.

If this continues, we will be killed.

He released the petal whip and ran towards the cliff behind him.

Although it was a cliff, the slope below allowed him to escape at top speed.

Diaros was confident about the retreat.

Strangely, there were no footsteps chasing after them.

With curiosity in his heart, Diaros glanced behind him.

Then, he stopped.

The herald did not pursue him, but he did grab Letia, easily lifted her up, squeezed her throat until she was unconscious, and then held his sword to her neck.

"Letia!" Diaros shouted, "Let her go!"

“Oh dear, what a pity,” Lu Ye called out as he approached the Herrscher. “Mr. Herrscher seems to be too tired to run. He asked me to tell you that if you want this woman named Letia to live, you should come over.”

“You have one minute,” Lu Ye said. “This Herrscher asked me to tell you that you have to pay the price for whatever you want to do, and this is the price of being a traitor. Of course, you can choose to run away, but this woman will have her head cut off and her body chopped into pieces and thrown to the Finger Monster for dinner. You are safe today, but you will still be hunted down after this.”

Although that's what they say, the Herrscher hasn't actually spoken since the beginning, but Diablos doesn't know that.

Seeing the unconscious Letia and the bloodstains left by the sharp blade, Diaros was clearly anxious.

He probably wouldn't have paid this much attention to an ordinary maid.

But Letia was someone who had grown up with him since childhood, a family member who had always been by his side, and he could not treat Letia like an ordinary maid.

“May I offer my opinion?” Lu Ye said, “Although we saved Letia before, we can’t save her again now. Otherwise, you should come over here obediently. Letia is not in the hunting commission. If you come over, she can live, and our previous efforts to save her life will not have been in vain.”

"Anyway, you're not well-regarded in the family, are you? You're a disgrace to the family, utterly useless. Your only brother, who was good to you, was killed not long ago by that woman with the pot upside down on his head. What's the point of you living in this world? You want to follow the path Tanis suggested and prove yourself, that's fine, but now you've caused Letia to suffer like this..."

"I will avenge my brother!!" Diaros said fiercely, veins bulging on his forehead.

“Sure, this way you can still walk the path of a hero and never be looked down upon again. But before that, you need to add one more person to your list of targets for revenge.” Lu Ye looked at Letia. “It’s her.”

Diaros looked at the unconscious Letia and finally nodded, the words escaping through clenched teeth.

"Okay, I'm coming."

He walked towards this side step by step.

However, when he had traveled halfway, he suddenly ran towards A-Tui.

Lu Ye's figure vanished instantly, then reappeared beside A Tui, kicking her in the butt and sending her flying.

A-Tui cried out in surprise and rolled several times before stopping.

Diaros didn't understand why Lu Ye suddenly appeared, but he didn't care. He rushed forward and held the dagger to Lu Ye's neck, the blade pressed tightly against his throat.

"If you want him to live, release Letia!"

"Come on!" A-Tui said, rubbing the spot where he'd been kicked. "Lu Ye isn't that traitor's love interest! Tying him up won't do any good!"

"Is this the path you want to take?" the Herrscher asked.

Diaros was taken aback, not understanding why the other party would ask such a question.

“In that case, kill him,” the Herald said. “That way, at least you’ll get your hands dirty before you die.”

"Why...?" Diaros couldn't figure out the other party's motive for making such a suggestion.

"No matter what you say, I will kill this woman, and then I will kill you."

With that, the Herrscher pinned Letia to the ground, raised his sword high, seemingly about to cut off Letia's head, just as Luye had said.

"No, no—!" Diaros roared hoarsely.

"Stop! I'm coming... Let her go!"

"Why? Kill that man, then escape, take that path while being hunted, and return as a powerful warrior... Isn't that what you want?"

"You came to the Volcano Mansion to tarnish your own hands and become a member of the Herrscher. After killing that man, this woman will also die because of you. Doesn't that meet your expectations?"

“No,” Diaros’s dagger left Lu Ye’s throat, “that’s not it… I just came here because I wanted to stop bringing shame to my family and become a warrior as strong as my brother.”

“I have already lost my brother, and I cannot lose Letia as well… Release her, and I will do as you please. Coming to the Volcano Mansion was merely my selfish wish.”

Diaros turned to the Lawbreaker.

The rebels also released Letia.

When the two came together, the Herrscher suddenly punched Diablos, knocking him down.

He did not use a sword, but instead punched Diaros repeatedly.

Diaros was beaten until he vomited blood and his head was spinning.

He didn't understand why the other party wouldn't give him a quick and easy solution.

Is this an insult to oneself?

He wanted to resist, but found that he had no strength left.

“Ugh, kill, kill me…” Diaros’s words were indistinct.

“Kill you? I’ve said before that I won’t put my family in danger… Hoslough’s blood speaks for itself.”

Upon hearing this, Diaros's eyes widened suddenly, and his body trembled slightly.

After the other party seemed to have had enough, he said:

“You’re such a fool, Diaros.”
