Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2490 - 1174: Deadly Game • Prelude (VII) • Sunset Afterglow

With the arrival of dawn, the brief military lockdown of White Sakura City was quickly lifted.

Including the Knight Lord Baghdad Alphonse, who temporarily advanced to Epic status yet was still outnumbered, captured after slaughtering two entire city guard squads, a total of twenty-one ’rebels’ were completely purged. Regrettably, despite the desperate rescue attempts by Rose Georgia and a group of loyal aides, the young City Lord of Glittering City, Lord Sang Qiao, was still brutally murdered by two of his captured traitors amid the chaos of battle.

After that...

"Lord Angus Georgia will be greatly enraged, ordering the execution at noon tomorrow as a warning with you knights as the leading example."

Strolling leisurely along the street still stained heavily with blood, Rose tilted her head and smiled at Baghdad Alphonse, the captain of the guard beside her, who was bound tightly with Mithril locks, his eyes filled with anger and despair: "A magnificent story, isn’t it?"

Having lost his left arm, his armor stained dark red by dried blood, Baghdad ground his teeth and growled between clenched jaws: "This is a despicable, venomous, crude, and riddled with flaws conspiracy! How dare you... how dare you..."

"Who knows, I’m just an errand minion following orders~"

Double Leaf casually interrupted his questioning, shrugging: "But you all were indeed quite foolish; truly, couldn’t you and that Sang Qiao gentleman see what Lord is trying to do? Or did you absolutely believe that even if my future father-in-law wanted to rebel, he wouldn’t dare lay a hand on you?"

Baghdad flew into a rage, and though the Qi force erupting from him did nothing but tear his wounds further, he struggled uncontrollably: "Who gave you the courage to betray the Sun! The glorious dynasty bestowed upon the likes of us mediocre people everything we dreamt of, and yet, just for a slight—"

Bang!!!

Double Leaf swung her elbow, knocking Baghdad to the ground, then stepped on his face distorted with anger and squatted down, smiling: "I’ve said it before, I’m just a lackey obeying orders; there’s absolutely ~ absolutely ~ absolutely no need for you to vent your emotions so passionately in my ear~"

"You vicious bit—"

Bang!!!

Violently grabbed by the hair, Baghdad’s entire face was slammed hard against the ground, abruptly interrupting his words.

"I’m sorry, but at least for now, I’m just a tall woman with a big chest."

Double Leaf patted Baghdad’s cheek, smiling warmly, then stood back up, lifting her foot from his head, humming a cheerful tune as she walked towards the city hall.

The Knight Lord, whose future had already been stripped away, was forced to stand back up and stumble forward under the cold and watchful eyes around him.

Then...

He brushed past a young man who appeared impoverished and downtrodden.

The other’s bald head looked somewhat glaring in the dawn, and his timid demeanor was equally ridiculous and laughable, but it didn’t stop the loyal Baghdad Alphonse from arriving at a conclusion right away.

The person he had just brushed past was precisely the one whom Earl Georgia was trying every means to kill, the young master he served.

Though he had no idea how the other managed it, Baghdad, having just heard that woman’s languid order to lift the lockdown and reopen the city gates, knew full well that those despicable traitors had exhausted all their schemes!

In no time, this bizarre city would face the wrath of Glittering City and the council, turning to scorched earth under the Sun’s glory.

Surveying the surrounding area, which remained relatively tranquil despite a sense of unrest among the populace, Baghdad, seeing an impending Human World Purgatory in his eyes, bent over heavily, laughing in a hidden and ferocious manner, murmuring under his breath: "Praise the Sun."

Meanwhile, departing farther from the team escorting Baghdad and Sang Qiao’s head, Motan, having seen the city gates, also flashed a lighthearted smile—

"Being bald feels fucking great."

Reconnecting with her original body, having lost the identity of Rose, the thirty-centimeter shorter, once-busty girl slowly opened her eyes.

The next moment, she heard the familiar system notification sound:

[Blank Tome 1: Dusk’s Twilight - Sword of Cleansing Task Completed, Reward: Access to the Sixth Layer of Restricted Section, due to a completion rate of 127%, additional reward received: Water Element School Specialization +1.]

And then the girl was dumbfounded.

[One hundred twenty-seven?]

She stood up abruptly, her delicate face full of disbelief: "How could this be! How the hell could this be?!"

Evidently, the system’s final evaluation fell far short of Double Leaf’s expectations, and by more than just a little!

In Double Leaf’s imagination, with Rose’s naive approach, historically, Sang Qiao was likely to have successfully escaped, thus, having eliminated the young lord and further wiped out all his guards, it seemed feasible to aim for a full 200% completion rate!
