Chapter 748: Emperor of Sword
In the maid's appearance, Edith walked toward the table, silent as a breeze. The silver tray balanced in her gloved hands barely made a sound.
Kaisar didn't even glance at this intruder. His sharp gaze remained fixed on the Cardinal, who was already suffocating.
At that moment, Kaiser knew this intruder had come here well prepared.
With fluid motion, Edith placed the tray down and bowed.
Just as Kaisar tried to nullify the paralysis poison, the Cardinal's eyelids suddenly twitched. A brief flare of divine energy burst from his chest, but Edith was faster. Her palm struck forward like a lightning bolt, fingers glowing faintly red.
A thin needle pierced the Cardinal's neck.
Within a second, his body froze. He slumped onto the table without a sound.
Only then did Kaisar shift in his seat.
His eyes met Edith's.
In an instant, an oppressive aura surged from him, black in color.
