Peace Hunter

Meanwhile, Marquess Marcelo looked confused by what Duke James had said before vomiting blood.

"Who is trying to betray us?" Marquess Marcelo thought.

Then Marquess Marcelo turned to Duke Remy. He was surprised to see Duke Remy smiling. Seeing this, Marquess Marcelo immediately spoke again to Judge Roswald.

"Y-Your Honor, I swear that I was not the main perpetrator of that attempt, because the main perpetrator was—," said Marquess Marcelo.

Before Marquess Marcelo could finish his sentence, he immediately vomited a large amount of blood from his mouth. The people who witnessed this were shocked. It was understandable, seeing three people vomiting blood suddenly.

"It seems like something is being covered up," said Miss Karina, who was approaching Queen Kayana.

"Yes, you're right. The three of them vomited blood before they could say anything," said Queen Kayana.

Meanwhile, Duke Louis remained silent, observing the situation in the courtroom.

"Gentlemen, please heal those who have just vomited blood," said Judge Roswald.

"Yes, Your Honor," said the knights in the room.

Several knights immediately approached Duke James and Marquess Marcelo. They immediately healed Duke James and Marquess Marcelo. While being healed, Duke James stared at the floor, but suddenly began to speak.

"Y-you, why did you betray us?" Duke James asked.

Those in the room looked confused as Duke James spoke without naming the person he was talking to. Furthermore, Duke James was currently staring at the floor, making them even more confused as to who he was talking to.

"What is he talking about?" asked a confused Duke Louis.

After Duke James spoke, a voice suddenly rang in his mind. The voice came from telepathic magic.

"It's a shame, Lord James. I decided to betray you because you failed in carrying out my plan. Moreover, you also messed up my plan and made my plan revealed, but fortunately I had already anticipated this and prepared something so that I would not be known to outsiders as someone who participated in my own plan. Therefore, because you have messed up my plan, I decided to betray you. But you can rest assured, even though you have messed up my plan, you are all still my valuable pawns. I have previously inserted a power into your bodies and now it is time for you to use that power," said the voice.

Duke James was shocked when he heard the voice, because it belonged to someone he knew, Duke Remy. Then, Duke James suddenly vomited a large amount of blood from his mouth. Not only Duke James, but Duke Darwin and Marquess Marcelo also vomited large amounts of blood from their mouths. However, it turned out that they weren't the only ones vomiting blood, several people in the courtroom were also vomiting blood. Commander Luka, who was in the defendant's room, also vomited blood, as the sound of him vomiting could be heard throughout the courtroom.

"What exactly happened? Why are so many people suddenly vomiting blood?" asked Judge Roswald, shocked.

Queen Kayana, Miss Karina, and Duke Louis were also shocked. Commander Oliver, Commander Asier, Caroline, Vice Commander Sara, and a woman named Mina were equally shocked by what had happened. Meanwhile, I tried to think about what was happening. I observed those who were vomiting blood. After observing them for a while, I was shocked to see changes in the bodies of those who had vomited blood. The claws on their hands suddenly grew longer and turned jet black. Some parts of their bodies developed jet black markings, and their eyes also turned jet black.

"Those characteristics, don't tell me..." I said, shocked.

Not only me, everyone in the courtroom, including Queen Kayana, Judge Roswald, Commander Oliver, and the others, was also shocked after seeing the changes in their bodies. They all knew the changes their bodies were undergoing were similar to those experienced by a certain race.

Meanwhile, Duke Remy also looked very surprised by their changes. But his shocked expression was merely a fake expression. Because at the same time, Duke Remy was contemplating a plan in his mind.

"Right now, there are Her Majesty the Queen, Commander Asier, and Lord Louis. If I can kill them now, it will mean I have achieved my goal. It's true that the entire San Lucia family isn't present right now, but by killing the two strongest members of the San Lucia family, killing the rest of the San Lucia family will be easier," thought Duke Remy.

Then he used the same telepathic magic he had used on Duke James. The telepathic magic was directed at everyone who had undergone a transformation.

"Kill everyone here!" Duke Remy said telepathically.

After that, the transformed individuals suddenly began attacking everyone else. Commander Luka, who had previously been in the defendant's room, managed to break out and attack the knight guarding the door. Meanwhile, Duke James, who had undergone a transformation, suddenly darted toward Caroline, who was beside me. Duke James prepared to attack Caroline with his kick, but I quickly moved Caroline to switch places with me.

After switching places, I immediately tried to block Duke James's kick with both hands. But instead of being able to block it, I was thrown out of the courtroom. I was thrown so far that I crashed into several buildings in front of the courtroom.

The people gathered in front of the courtroom were shocked when they saw something fly out of the courtroom and crash into several buildings in front of it.

"What the hell is that?!"

"What's going on in the courtroom?" the people asked.

Meanwhile, back inside the courtroom, Caroline looked shocked when she saw Rid being thrown out of the courtroom. Not only Caroline, but Commander Asier, Commander Oliver, Vice Commander Sara, and the woman named Mina were also shocked. They were all shocked because they hadn't noticed Duke James' swift attack.

"Brother Rid!!!" Caroline shouted.

However, while Caroline was worrying about Rid, Duke James, who was now nearby, intended to attack Caroline again. But Commander Oliver and Commander Asier quickly tried to slash Duke James. However, their slashes weren't deep and only scratched Duke James's body. Even so, their slashes managed to force Duke James to retreat and distance himself from Caroline for a while.

"His body...., it seems like Duke James has transformed into that race," said Commander Oliver.

"You're right, Commander," said Commander Asier.

Meanwhile, Queen Kayana, Miss Karina, Duke Louis, and Judge Roswald were on guard.

"Those traits on their bodies—there's no mistaking them for the Demon race. But how could they transform into Demons?" asked a confused Queen Kayana.

After Queen Kayana said this, Duke Darwin, who was standing nearby, suddenly opened his mouth. A mass of pitch-black magic appeared in his mouth. Queen Kayana was shocked to see what was happening.

"That magic—" said Queen Kayana.

Before Queen Kayana could finish her sentence, Duke Darwin shot the magic from his mouth. It was aimed directly at Queen Kayana. Then, the magic exploded, creating a massive black explosion.
