Chapter 1974
"Whoosh..." It was dead silent in the arena.
The black clouds and purple mist in the sky had instantly disappeared along with the explosion of Buster! Only a cloud of red mist floated down from the sky! Other than that, not a trace of Buster remained! He had used his life force to command his purple sword to forcibly control the unruly raging lightning, and was suffered the terrible backlash from the lightning in the end.
He had brought upon his own death... All of the people turned their gaze to Henry.
"What are you looking at Henry for?"
Azusa brows furrowed. "You all saw that Buster was killed by his own lightning. It was not Henry who had killed him!"
"Princess Azusa, although Henry didn't kill Buster with his own hands, Buster was killed by his own lightning because he was fighting Henry. The Divine Race... probably wouldn't just leave this matter to rest!"
Master Tellfer sighed.
"Even if it's the Divine Clan, they could still be reasoned with, right?
"It was Buster who wanted to challenge Henry. Moreover, Henry didn't kill him, so how could Henry be to blame?"
"There's no point debating about this. Buster is already dead!"
Jacob also sighed. "The power of the Divine Race mustn't be underestimated. If they come forward to reason with us, it won't be easy to deal with them!"
"This..." Only now did Azusa realise how serious the problem was.
If the Buster had only been defeated, then there was naturally nothing to worry about.
However, Buster had died, this matter would be blown out of proportion! He was the Divine Child of a Seven Level Deity Race, a future Divine Master! No matter what, if Buster died here, the Sacred Empire would not be able to explain it to the Divine Race! "For now, it's better to... hand Henry over to the Divine Race for them to deal with him."
Master Tellfer said with a frowned.
"What did you say?
Henry didn't kill Buster, so why do we have to hand him over to the Divine Race?"
Azusa questioned Master Tellfer with a glare.
"Princess Azusa, I'm not trying to be nosy, but right now, only by handing Henry over to the Divine Race will we be able to quell their anger. Otherwise, the Divine Race will start a war against the Sacred Empire!"
Master Tellfer said, "If they team up with the Grand Xia Dynasty and the Moda Hotel, our Sacred Empire will be in danger!"
"Well..." Azusa was once again speechless.
She knew that the Master Tellfer was right.
In order to seek revenge, the Divine race would definitely join forces with the Imperial City of Grand Xia and the Moda Hotel to wage war against the Sacred Empire! At that moment, the best choice was to hand Henry over to the Divine Race.
Only then would the Sacred Empire be able to safely quell the anger of the Divine Race.
Azusa, who had grown up in the royal family, knew very well that her father, Gordie, and her brother, Diarmi, would hand Henry over to the Divine Race without hesitation for the sake of the Sacred Empire! If Buster didn't die, they might still be able to protect Henry and make him serve for Sacred Empire.
However, now that Buster had died, they would naturally give up their gold to protect their king! As Azusa thought of that, she quickly came to Henry's side and said, "Henry! You... you better run! The farther the better!"
"Sigh... it's still just a little short. What a pity!"
Henry was still sighing at the Nine Tribulation Sword in his hand.
Only three or four pieces of rust on the third section of the Nine Tribulation Sword had fallen off, revealing the word "Sky".
Although Henry had used all his strength, it was still insufficient to unlock the third section of the Nine Tribulation Sword.
"What are you sulking about?
What do you mean by 'a little short"?"
asked Azusa out of curiosity.
"Nothing."
Henry put away the Nine Tribulation Sword.
"Run with Little Baby! Buster is dead, if you don't run away... you won't be able to escape!"
Azusa said worriedly.
"Run?
Why should I run?
It was Buster who burned himself while playing with fire." "But the Divine Race will definitely not let you off
the hook!"
"It doesn't matter. I just wanted to check out the divine power of the Divine Race!"
Henry looked thoughtful. He believed that the other people of the Divine Race definitely had the divine power that could unlock the Nine Tribulation Sword.
If he could borrow their strength, he might be able to unlock the third section of the Nine Tribulation Sword.
"What's going on?"
At that moment, Gordie and Diarmi had already received a report from the arena.
"Did Henry really kill buster?"
Gordie looked around and saw the puddle of blood on the arena. He could not believe it.
"No, Henry didn't kill him!"
Azusa told Gordie and Diarmi about everything that had happened in the battle earlier.
"Is all of this true?"
Gordie narrowed his eyes.
"Sage Emperor, Princess Azusa is telling the truth. Buster was indeed struck back by his own lightning, but I'm afraid that the Divine Clan... will not let this matter off the hook!"
Master Tellfer answered, cupping his fist before his chest.
"That's right. Henry didn't kill Buster himself, but Buster died because of him!"
Jacob also echoed.
"..." Gordie's face darkened as he looked at Henry.
Although he did not say anything, everyone could see that Gordie was going to sacrifice Henry to protect the his empire.
"Henry, you've acted too rashly!
How could you kill Buster?"
Diarmi obviously understood what his father was trying to do. He immediately played along with his father.
"Brother, wasn't it already clear enough?
Henry did not kill Buster!"
said Azusa unhappily.
"But Buster died because of him, how are we going to explain it to the Divine Race?
If they team up with the Grand Xia Dynasty and Moda Hotel, our Sacred Empire will be in trouble!"
Diarmi said coldly.
"It doesn't matter. If somebody from the Divine Clan arrives, I'll take care of it!"
Henry waved his hand impatiently.
"What?
You'll take care of it?
Do you know how powerful the divine powers of the Divine Race are?"
Diarmi looked coldly at Henry.
He originally had high hopes for Henry and wanted to cultivate and draw Henry over to his side so that Henry could serve the Sacred Empire.
However now, Buster had died whileBelonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
fighting Henry, causing Henry to
become a massive problem, Diarmi had to get rid of him quickly! "The Divine Race is just a group of ignorant people who think tog highly of themselves, there is no need to worry!"
Henry sneered.
He had long since wiped out countless beings of the Divine Race who arrogantly saw themselves far greater than him.
"You..." "That's enough." Gordie
interrupted Diarmi with a wave of his hand. "It's not Henry's fault. He did it because he was abiding by the rules of the tournament of the Alliance of the Restricted Zones. If we continue to blame him, won't it dampen everyone's morale?"
"That's right! My Father, you're indeed wise!"
Azusa laughed delightedly.
"This..." Even though Diarmi did not know why his father would suddenly protect Henry, he could not push on any further in front of so many people. "Since Henry has defeated Buster, I will now announce that Henry has won the tournament of the Alliance of the Restricted Zones and the leader of
our Sacred Empire!"
Gordie announced.
"Wow! That's great!"
Azusa clapped her hands and cheered.
"Hooray!"
A round of applause erupted within the stadium.
"Father, there's more. Why didn't you finish your announcement?"
Azusa said to Gordie anxiously.
"Act a little more lady-like, will you!"
Gordie paused and glared at Azusa,
then said, "I have already said before that if Henry wins the tournament he will take Princess Azusa's hand in marriage. Now, he is the Devil, Warrior and the husband of Princess Azusa!"
"Hooray!"

Thunderous applause broke out in the arena once more.
"Er..." Henry was speechless.
"Hurry up and thank the king for his kindness, you dummy!"
Azusa said as she pushed Henry shyly.
