The Wolf’s Bride

Chapter 1534

Andrius said solemnly, “I understand.”

Otto turned to Halle again. “Insect Ruler, when the inheritance starts, you just have to focus on accepting it.”

“Okay.” Halle also nodded.

After Otto finished giving out the instructions, he slowly climbed the altar.

With every step he took, he bowed thrice—to the heavens, the earth, and the Murrfield ancestors.

Half a minute later, he finally reached the altar.

Otto chanted a low mantra, and the entire hall instantly changed. It was as if an eternal entity that had been asleep for thousands of years had awoken at that moment.

“Ugh...”

Suddenly, Otto spewed out blood on the altar.

Whirr!

The altar instantly lit up. The sacred fire was lit! Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

At the same time, an evil aura once again spread. Not only was the quantity vast and thick, but the quality had also intensified beyond measure.

Even Andrius felt the pressure from every cell in his body.

Of course, the malevolent energy was directly at Halle, and Andrius was only caught in the crossfire.

Whirr...

Andrius extended his mind toward the altar and was struck with a profound shock. He sensed something.

In the boundless depths beneath the altar exuded a faint force that caused his soul to tremble with fear. It was majestic and unstoppable.

The sensation it conveyed to Andrius was one of extreme danger. It could annihilate him with just a single thought.

However, the force seemed to be sealed away, unable to break free.

If it were to break through the seal and unleash its full power...

Andrius believed that the whole cordillera and a large expanse of Murrfield would be destroyed in an instant, let alone the land of inheritance. It was terrifying.

Against such power, the Divine Steps were useless.

“Phew... Murrfield is indeed mysterious.”

Andrius did not mull over it and focused on protecting Halle’s heart. Such matters were beyond his concern for now.

Crackle...

The secret flame continued to flicker in the silence of the inheritance hall, and time continued to pass.

Correspondingly, Halle’s aura grew stronger and mightier.

“Insect Ruler, Wolf King, the most crucial part of the inheritance is about to begin. Be sure to concentrate and don’t let anything interfere!” Otto reminded them again.

Andrius was fully focused, and Halle concentrated deeply.

Suddenly just as Otto finished speaking, he shouted angrily, “Who goes there? Who dares trespass into the land of inheritance? Do you not value your lives?”

Whoosh...

Swoosh, swoosh...

Before Andrius could ask, a group of people stormed into the hall. It was the Murrfield elites who had been deceived by Arthur earlier.

“Salman Cruz, Frank Dawson, Clark Willis...”

Otto’s expression immediately changed when he saw these people. He took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, “How are you still alive?”

“Of course, it’s because I didn’t let them die!”

With those words, the Murrfield elites parted to reveal a figure walking forward. Elegant yet dominant, the Progenitor Emperor, Arthur, stepped forward with a smirk.

“Y-you...” Otto’s complexion changed abruptly as he instantly understood the situation. “You all sided with him and became his lackeys!”

Salman and the others immediately began to refute.

“Shut up, Otto!”

“What lackeys? We just want to stay alive.”

“That’s right, what’s wrong with wanting to live?”

“You’re the ones who should die!”

...

Arthur glanced at Andrius and Halle, who were at an important juncture, and ordered coldly, “Stop the nonsense and attack together. Kill the Insect Ruler!”

“Kill her!”

“Insect Ruler, you’re dead!”

“Insect Ruler, since you wanted to kill us, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”

“Die, Insect Ruler!”

...

Salman and the others shouted as they charged forward.

“Stop them!”

With a roar from Otto, the temple experts all rushed forward. Both sides clashed fiercely. The scene descended into chaos, filled with battle cries and screams of pain.

“Progenitor Emperor…”
