Chapter 114: For your crimes!

Nikola made his way into the deserted Longcheng. He had waited two days before going in because he would rather not cause any more deaths. Summoning the Furies was excessive.

They weren't worshiped here, in this corner of the world. He had watched the smoke rise, and the scared soldiers cut down the fleeing civilians. An order from Emperor Han. The man couldn't believe that the city had fallen and saw traitors everywhere.

General Lao had wanted to come with Nikola. It would be bad for morale if the army's only and strongest mage was to fall in the city.

Nikola had brushed his concerns off as politely as he could. Now that he had the complete soul of a phoenix at his disposal, there was nothing that could harm him any longer.

With a flick of his wrist, two corpses rose behind him. They had orange eyes, as if the Maggot was controlling them. But the phoenix was gone.
