The Fanghorn Nobles' Desperation

Inside the City Lord's manor, the Fanghorn Lord and high-ranking nobles continued to take shelter, occasionally reinforcing the building's protective barrier. With all their outside contacts eventually lost, uncertainty and fear filled their hearts.

At this point, they had all placed their hope in Celestial City's aid.

Everyone had witnessed the gruesome fate of captured nobles when they surfed the Celestial Network. Every noble who died during the judgment process was tortured more terribly than the last.

The heartwrenching screams of agony, despair, and fear sent chills down their spines and made their hearts turn cold with dread.

Which one of the nobles wasn't a proud and haughty figure in front of the ordinary civilians?

Yet, regardless of their status, each and every one of them ultimately begged for forgiveness and pleaded for the mercy of death. Even strong-willed nobles would break under the increasingly sophisticated torture.
