<span style="font-weight:400">"You damn pig! How dare you try to sacrifice my daughter!" Julius mmed his hand down on the chair as he stood up. If looks could kill, Harold would be ughtered like a pig!
<span style="font-weight:400">And he was not alone, as everyone in the Solis Kingdom was about to ughter those nobles.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Harold''s expression turned dark as heughed, "Guess cats out of the bag. But Julius, do you think you can stop me?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I can kill you right now."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Haha, too bad, then your kingdom shall be destroyed."
<span style="font-weight:400">"What?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you really think I can''t use the weapon now?!" Harold ripped the ne off his neck, "Scorch the heavens themselves, I call thy Sirius!"
<span style="font-weight:400">As he said those words, the sky started to rumble as an odd magical tool appeared down the church.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What? How can you use it?!" Julius frowned. Rumors alone, the Philosopher Kingdom had an ancient weapon.
<span style="font-weight:400">However, it was concluded that they couldn''t use it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"This weapon had three shots; thest shot was never used! We just need a bit of her power to activate it! I can easily destroy your puny kingdom with a snap of my fingers."
<span style="font-weight:400">"You damn bastard!" Julius and the rest of the Solis nobles scowled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"No!" Carolyn''s expression paled. Her worst fear had just urred, yet a gentle hand patted her shoulders. She looked up,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Princess, I said before, no one would stop you on your path as long as I''m here. I''m a man of my word."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you think you can stop our kingdom''s strongest weapon?!" Harold''s eyes turned dark. Who was he kidding?! This magic item was at least an ancient level!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Not even that damn dragon could stop this, and you think a clown like you could."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m a thief that keeps my word." As he said this, he turned to the sisters, "Sisters, protect everyone here."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." Instantly, a barrier was erected before everyone. The next second, Masked Thief started to chant.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Brilliant lightning to pierce through all my enemies! Those who are in thy way shall be obliterated."
<span style="font-weight:400">"He''s going to hit that with his grand-level magic?" Jack muttered. Lightning trident was his strongest attack.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...The kid can''t do it." Cedric frowned. He wasn''t alone, as the adults realized.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Lightning trident!" The wave of lightning smashed into Sirius. Yet, it didn''t stop it, a small dent to show off the little effect that lightning had.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you really think you can stop it with a grand-level magic!" Haroldughed haughtily.
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, I was just testing it out. The real show-stopper is now." Taking off his mantle, he ced it on top of Carolyn before walking out again.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Brilliant lightning to pierce through all my enemies! Those who are in thy way shall be obliterated."
<span style="font-weight:400">"He''s using the same spell again?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s not going to-"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wait a minute! Look at his hand!" Everyone noticed how Masked Thief''s hands were weaving!
<span style="font-weight:400">"What the? He''s chanting with his hands as well! It''s a grand-level magic as well!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Lionel crushed the seat''s armguard!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can you even do something like that? Casting two spells at once?" Derek shouted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Theoretically, it should be possible," Alvin responded, "But that''s only in theory. Doing something like that requires you to be able to do two things at once with utmost concentration."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah," The first criterion was met with flying colors.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Does he have enough mana?" Mana and control was the second issue. Could he really handle all of that?
<span style="font-weight:400">"That kid''s going to blow up if he messes up!" Cedric muttered. The recoil would destroy him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You can do it!" Yet, one voice believed he could. Carolyn cheered as loudly as she could!
<span style="font-weight:400">Now! Masked Thief finished his two chants as the two magic circles ovepped one another!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahnte! Baal''s Wrath!" A torrent of blue lightning sted at the magical weapon, mming it! The attack was violent, sending currents of lightning all over the ce!
<span style="font-weight:400">Concentrate. Focus that lightning into one. Slowly, the lightning that raged forth became one, and,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Boom!" It pierced the magical weapon''s hull! And soon came after the explosions from Sirius.
<span style="font-weight:400">"And there you have it," Masked Thief sighed as he turned to the audience. He walked over to Carolyn, "I''ll be taking this," The mantle was redraped over his shoulders.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Everyone was in disbelief.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...No." That haughty expression Harold had was nowhere to be found. All that effort was gone like that. It was destroyed by one person.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Now then, where were we?" Masked Thief looked around.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, yeah. This marriage is voided, am I correct, Your Majesty." His words were directed to Julius.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course!" There was no way he was going to allow that marriage after everything. He felt insulted even when the boy asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">"This is good," Masked Thief nodded, "Now then, I shall take my treasure and be off."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh? You''re still going to take the prized ring?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Here! Take it!" The priest quickly tossed the ring over to the man. He felt fear just standing around him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"This?" He took the ring and stared, "No, this is trash to me," He crushed it in his hand like it was some regr pebble.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." You weren''t after that? Everyone blinked. What are you after then? That stone was the only valuable thing here!
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''ll be taking my treasure." Without any hesitation, the thief grabbed Carolyn''s waist and pulled her close.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"HUH?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m your treasure?" Carolyn blinked; the girl never expected those words toe out of his mouth.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course, treasure is in the eyes of the beholder, and you''re quite the beautiful treasure worth stealing." Masked Thief grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Carolyn''s cheeks turned red.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Well, I best-"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hold it!" Julius''s expression contorted so much that he was about to explode! Thalia chuckled as she watched.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Are you really going to steal her while I''m here?" Brat! Are you trying to court her in a situation like this?!
<span style="font-weight:400">"What if I am? I''m quite a greedy thief; even if she said no, I would take her away either way," Masked Thief added, "And you should really do something about your kingdom''s rats as well."
<span style="font-weight:400">Another orb was brought out,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Who cares about Carolyn. As long as I be crown prince, everything is worth it." It was a video of Felix. His eyes were maniacal as he said this.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Julius''s expression was calm. But it couldn''t be said about the others.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You should really deal with that."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Now then, before I leave with my treasure, I have one final gift for you all. And ites from the great Philosopher Kingdom!"
<span style="font-weight:400">What? Harold looked up. Why would I ever work with you?
<span style="font-weight:400">Masked Thief snapped his fingers. And when he did,
<span style="font-weight:400">Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
<span style="font-weight:400">Four gigantic explosions urred that caused everyone to look outside!
<span style="font-weight:400">"The Philosopher Kingdom really is generous. To explode four of their great mana mines to celebrate this special day. Too bad that their prince was pathetic."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh, no one was harmed in the makings of these fireworks!" He couldn''t forget about that.
<span style="font-weight:400">Cedric was about to fall off his chair, "Your grandson is crazy!" To blow up those mines as fireworks? Who was he kidding?
<span style="font-weight:400">Lionel could only grin.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Harold spat out blood when he heard that! 4 mines! They only had one mine left! How could this be! Everything was going up in mes! Their economy was blown to smoke.
<span style="font-weight:400">Quite literally!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Now I bid everyone adieu." Masked Thief didn''t hesitate to hold Carolyn in a princess carry, "Princess, hold onto me tight."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay!" Carolyn didn''t hesitate to wrap her arms around his neck. It was warm andforting.
<span style="font-weight:400">Snapping his fingers, a hole appeared in the ground, and that was when he jumped!
