It wasn''t just the Queen and Saintess of Dawn God Sect. Countless powerful figures in Dawn Citysensed the disturbance caused by Luca.


    Everyone was bewildered, unable to understand why this newly titled Count had gone mad, daring to kill in Dawn Cityof all ces.


    In an instant, all the powerful individuals in Dawn Citywere on the move.


    Streaks of light cut through the sky as they raced toward Luca''s location.


    The Dawn Cityenforcers also received reports and immediately dispatched numerous city guards to maintain order.


    However, when everyone arrived at the scene, they were stunned.


    Four towering thorned ice pirs stood in the streets, and the entire area was covered in frost. Large shards of ice littered the ground, and the blood and flesh glistened under the sunlight, reflecting a shimmering light.


    The Ghost King, holding his long sword, was kneeling on the ground, his head tilted back as he stared at the empty street. His expression was one of shock and despair, his face frozen in an agonized look, almost like a piece of art—yet it sent a chill down the spines of everyone who saw it.


    The Dawn God Sect''spriests and followers, along with the Phillips family''s Ghost Kingand Masked Figures, numbered twelve high-level professionals, including two Superss individuals! All of them had been killed on the spot!


    This scene left everyone present deeply shaken. What kind of person could possess such terrifying strength?


    A high-ranking noble gasped in shock, saying, "From the start of the battle to now, it''s only been about ten minutes. To kill two Superss individuals and twelve high-level professionals, that would require at least a Sky-level Superss. When did such a madman arrive in Dawn City…"


    Another Earth-level Superss shook his head and said, **"The opponent''s strength is far beyond that. I recognize both of them. One was Karle Lyman, a Holy Knightof the Dawn God Sect, a Earth-levelwarrior.


    "The other was Rafe Ward, one of the Phillips family''sseven Ghost Kings, a Sky-level Crimson Mage.


    "These two were no ordinary professionals. For someone to kill both of them here, that person must have at least the raw strength to take on a Star-levelopponent."**


    As soon as these words were spoken, the area fell silent. In the entire Clinton Empire, Star-levelSuperss warriors were a rarity—those who had touched the threshold of the Transcendentrealm. Each of them was likely a legendary figure. No one could say for sure who was responsible for this massacre.


    Soon, the enforcer who had gone to question the witnesses returned.


    "How is this possible..."His face was dazed, his eyes wide with shock, as if he had just received some unimaginable information.


    Curiosity sparked in the minds of many.


    The noble who had previously spoken up asked, "Did you find out who the killer is?"


    The enforcer hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "We''ve found out. You''ve probably all heard of him, but..."


    "Stop stalling and just say who it is!" another person urged.


    The enforcer let out a bitterugh and said, "ording to the witnesses, it seems to be Luca the Count. After all, he''s the only one of that age..."


    "Luca the Count?"Many of the stronger individuals who weren''t following events outside the city looked confused. They couldn''t understand why they should care about a mere Count, especially one who had such powerful strength.


    Augustine, however, paused for a moment before asking, "Are you sure it''s Luca?"


    Not just him—those who knew Luca had expressions of disbelief.


    One person skeptically asked, "Could they have mistaken him? Isn''t Luca the Count only eighteen? And isn''t he just a mid-tier professional? How could he have possibly killed so many powerful people?"


    The enforcer helplessly responded, "I can hardly believe it myself, but the description of Luca the Count matches his appearance exactly. It''s hard to mistake him..."


    The crowd paused and fell into silence.


    It was true. With his appearance, Luca was impossible to miss. It would be difficult for anyone to mistake him.


    In other words, the teenager—only in his teens—had really killed over a dozen high-level professionals?


    The thought left everyone feeling as if they were in a dream.


    1 vs 14, and two of those were Superss professionals. Were the younger generation really this strong now?


    "This kid... really knows how to stir up trouble."Augustine couldn''t help but sigh, finally believing the news. He had just received word that Luca was fine, and before he could even feel relieved, he learned that Luca had gone on a killing spree in the city.


    It was both a relief and a headache for Augustine. The boy had been in Dawn Cityfor just a few days, and he''d already killed so many from Dawn God Sectand the Phillips family. Luca clearly didn''t take them seriously at all!


    "What do you mean trouble? This was self-defense!"Dean Selin shot a re at him, clearly displeased with Augustine''s words.


    They were the ones who had caused trouble for Luca, and when he fought back, he''d killed them. How could that be called "stirring up trouble"?


    It was self-defense, in and simple!


    The strong figures around them couldn''t help but twitch their lips when they heard this.


    Kill 14 people...and you''re calling that self-defense?


    Which kind of self-defense involves killing fourteen people?


    However, due to Dean Selin''s high status and her strength at the pinnacle of Superss, no one dared to voice their true thoughts aloud.


    "I never expected my junior to be this impressive."From atop a rooftop, a figure in ck armor clicked his tongue in awe. "Eighteen years old, and he can already kill Superss warriors? What will he be like when he''s my age?"


    "It looks like the teacher has taken on a good student this time," God of War Winstonmuttered thoughtfully, stroking his chin. Lucahad killed so many members of the Phillips familyand Dawn God Sect; they would surelye after him. Winston wondered if he''d be able to help resolve things when the time came...


    Meanwhile, at the gates of the royal pce.


    By the time Lucacaught up to Sophiaand the others, they had already been waiting for a while in front of the royal pce gates.


    "You''re done already?"Luciaasked, surprised. She had thought it would take at least half an hour, but Lucahad finished so quickly.


    Luca smiled and shrugged. "Just some small fry. Nothing to worry about."


    Sophia gave him a sidelong nce. "You''re stronger than I expected."


    Her words were sincere. Sophia''sPerceptionability was not something ordinary professionals couldpare to.


    Earlier, she had clearly sensed the fluctuations of power erupting from the street and had a precise sense of Luca''scurrent strength. To be blunt, even without using her trump cards, she wasn''t sure if she could take him on in a fair fight.


    Noticing the faint shadow in Sophia''seyes, Lucashrugged. "Senior, you''re thinking too much. I was just lucky. With your talent, you''ll definitely be stronger than me in the future."


    Sophia was the Frost Goddessin her past life, mastering the highest-levelws. Even at her peak, she might not have been weaker than the Lord of the Sun. Luca, on the other hand, had merely stumbled upon a bit of good fortune. Inparison, he could never hope to match her during her prime.


    Sophia took his words as a form offort and turned away, looking towards the royal pce gates. "Let''s go. We''re heading to the princess''s quarters, aren''t you in a hurry to see the Sixth Princess?"


    "Alright."Luca, unaware of the subtle undercurrent in her tone, led the way into the pce.


    Lucia, with a teasing glint in her eyes, remarked, "Feeling jealous? I told you to make your move earlier. Now, look, your junior has already been swept away by the princess. You couldn''t...?"


    Sophia chose to ignore her teacher''s incessant chatter, maintaining a neutral expression and pretending not to hear.


    The three of them entered the pce and immediately noticed that there were far more people than usual. Everywhere they looked, there were wedding decorations—banners and bouquets of flowers—that gave the pce a festive atmosphere, almost as if it was a grand holiday celebration.


    Tomorrow is the wedding day of the Sixth Princess, and for the past few days, nobles from all over have been flocking to the royal pce to offer their congrattions. Lucaeven noticed some people from other countries—those from the Via Empireand the All-Beings Empire—their distinctive attire making them easily recognizable.


    It was clear that the royal family attached great importance to the wedding of Fratisand Finn.


    Luca''s expression remained calm, seemingly indifferent, but in reality, he had already made up his mind.


    The group continued walking, and when they reached the princess''s quarters.


    They saw a crowd of noblewomen gathered from a distance, all chattering around the elderly butler Lawson, whose hair had turned gray.


    "Why won''t you let me visit Her Highness the Princess? I specially came from the Eastern Territory just to meet her, and now you''re telling me I can''t see her?"one of thedies said with some dissatisfaction.


    "That''s right! I heard Her Highness loves fine food, so I even brought a chef to prepare some delicacies. These are all rare ingredients!"anotherdy added, holding a beautifully wrapped gift and speaking angrily.


    Otherdies tried to use their charms, fluttering their eyes and pouting in a pitiful manner as they begged, "Lawson, please let us see the princess, we won''t stay long~"


    Despite having seen many high-ss individuals in his time, Butler Lawsonwas starting to feel overwhelmed.


    He raised both hands in a gesture of surrender and exined helplessly, "I understand your wish to visit Her Highness, but the princess is currently unwell. It''s not the right time for visitors, so please return for now. You cane by after the wedding."


    "It''s precisely because Her Highness is unwell that we want to visit her!"one of the women quickly interjected.


    Lawson rubbed his forehead in frustration. "You don''t need to worry. Prince Finn has already called in Doctor Kaman to treat the princess. She should recover soon."


    He had hoped that this would be enough to convince the women to leave, but upon hearing that Finnwas involved, their excitement only grew.


    Just as Butler Lawson was starting to feel a headache from all the noise, he looked up and suddenly saw Lucaand hispanions approaching.


    He froze in ce, rubbing his eyes as if he thought he was seeing things.


    When he realized it was really Luca, he jumped in shock, his face turning pale with fear. "Luca the Count, you''re not...?"
