Unfathomable Doomsday

Chapter 217

What was hidden under the glorious exterior of the Obsidian City was not as dazzling as its appearance. The entire city's trade was cut off, supplies were in short supply, and with the demons wreaking havoc, an air of misery pervaded the entire city. The crowd didn't even linger in the streets, all walking quickly through. But this procession into the city did attract the attention of many people.

Led by a group of knights, those civilians who had fallen into distress were placed in other places.

Lucius and Lorna were led to the city master's residence.

On the way, Lucius looked around the city's architectural style, found that this city was a combination of magic and steampunk architecture, a very futuristic city, to say the least. And yes, the city's owner, in a sense, was ahead of this world for centuries.

The city lord's residence was built in the center of the city, a tower that rises straight up to the clouds. At the top of the building shines a blinding light, which was why the city was called Obsidian City.

Lucius countless times guessed how the man who led the Obsidian City easily resisted the invasion of the demon army and Xerath was. As someone who didn't belong to this world, Lucius had thought that he was iron-blooded and ruthless. But it seemed like Lucius had guessed wrong, very wrong.

"Yo! My lovely son, yo! I haven't seen you for a few days, but you've become mature!"

The knights guarding Lorna and Lucius instantly raised their swords and saluted the approaching figure who drew his sword and swung at Lorna.

A figure who's even more handsome than Lorna, and for some reason, he looked so young, it might be more appropriate to say that he looked more like Lorna's brother rather than his father.

But alas, he was Lorna's father, the city's lord, Prince Lodhran!

"Thank you father for the compliment!"

Lorna seemed to have some disharmony with his father. Although his mouth was so flattering, his expression shows a kind of displeasure. Suddenly, a blade was aimed at him. Lorna put his sword against the blade that was swung to him. He blocked the attack and, in return, thrust towards the attacker.

Lodhran gave a big laugh.

A light-hearted uppercut cut off Lorna's thrusting blade. His sword was pressed against Lorna's neck.

"No way. You're not good enough, my dear son. This level is still far from enough, honestly practice a hundred years before you challenge me!"

"Tch." Lorna coldly grunted.

There was absolutely no father and son bonding activity as fierce as this.

The city lord of the city of dazzling light really does live up to his name, emitting this dazzling light almost everywhere he goes. It seemed that Lodhran finally noticed Lucius, who was standing beside Lorna. After looking up and down at Lucius, the original smile on his face froze and then gradually changed to displeasure.

Has my identity been discovered?'

Lucius's whole body tensed up. If his identity was found, he might need some drastic plan B to slaughter the entire city!

He made entering this city his first goal, which now has been achieved, even if he was discovered, it did not matter anymore.

But Lodhran suddenly put his arm around Lorna's shoulder, pressed down Lorna's head, and whispered with Lorna behind Lucius's back, "Hey, hey, my son, what's going on with you? Why did you bring back a guy?"

"Huh? Whether I bring back a boy or a girl has nothing to do with father, right?" Lorna was highly uncomfortable with this cheerful character of his old man.

"What does it matter?! Do you know the reason why I let you go out?"

"To train me so that I can detach myself from you and become an independent adult, am I wrong?"

It was true that this trip out has made Lorna mature completely, but this was not the whole purpose of Lodhran.

"Too naive! My son, too naive! I let you go out in the hope that you would return with a beautiful girl in your arms! If 100% of the women in this city weren't interested in me, I would have wanted to help you find a suitable wife. But why did you bring back a male?"

The angry expression on Lodhran's face became even more terrifying. Finally, Lorna directly put a foot on his old man's calf, almost making Lodhran fall to his knees, but it also made Lodhran grunt in pain.

"Father! He is my savior and protected me all the way here. Without him, I would be dead! So please don't say something so rude."

"I see, but my son, you are so old and still don't have a girlfriend. What should you do in the future? When your old man was thirteen, he had already managed to make three beautiful girls pregnant. Pregnant!"

""

Hey, hey

This group of guys looks like they didn't know that vampire's hearing was a multitude better than anything?

Lucius stared at the two are whispering father and son with no expression. Lucius did not know what to say. The conversation topic was so bizarre. It was definitely a crime to marry a thirteen-year-old girl, let alone made her pregnant. If it was in accordance with the rule of law, he should've been persecuted.

Yet, he shamelessly bragged about it.

Lucius initially thought that the Ruler of the Obsidian City was a powerful and challenging person to deal with. But, unfortunately, this impression has completely disappeared in the heart of Lucius, replaced by this guy who relied on the energy barrier outside of the Obsidian City and lived lavishly.

The fact that Xerath couldn't take care of these people was very disappointing.

But Lodhran's other identity requires Lucius to be vigilant. That was, he does not belong to this world. He came from the distant stars. If his memories were absorbed, Lucius believed that he would get a lot of valuable things.

Just as Lucius's thoughts were flying around, it seemed that Lodhran and Lorna had finished communicating. Lorna did not look very happy. What Lodhran just said probably reminded Lorna of the night three days ago. If it weren't for those demons, maybe Lorna would be back now with the girl of his choice, just like his father said.

He paid the price. He deserved it.

"The Deputy Chief of the Nightwing Knights, Lucius, right?" Lodhran extended his hand, and Lucius also raised his hand to shake with Lodhran, "Thank you for taking care of that incompetent son of mine all the way."

"Pleasure is mine."

But, the moment he touched his hand, Lucius found that he still had no way to sense his life level. This left only two possibilities. The first was that he had the ability to conceal his true power. The second was that his life level was so high that it was beyond the range of what Lucius knew.

Level 7

An existence on par with Xerath
