Endless Extraction in a Game-Like World Chapter 199: The Ritewing Purge! Entrusting Mia to the Ender

"Mark Twilight is now aware of your existence," Lyra said, her voice laced with obvious anxiety.

"Wow. Tell sothing I didn’t know," Caelus replied dryly.

"That Sister Marie and that burly guy, Stephen, who were with you when you first visited. Are they on your side or Mark’s?" Caelus asked.

"Stephen is on Mark’s side," Lyra explained. "Marie is on our side. She controls most of the church."

"Hm." Caelus nodded in thought. "Then where is she right now?"

"She is here. This place is one of the citadels in the central plains."

"Oh." Caelus nodded again, processing the information. "What about the vampires?"

"Leonard is taking care of them," Lyra said. "Now that Azula has been reduced to an ordinary person, Leonard has taken up the role of guiding the vampires."

"And what of Azula himself?"

"He has gone completely insane," Lyra said, slowly shaking her head. "Being reduced to nothing but a mortal brought his ntal sanity down to zero. The shock was just too huge for him to handle."

Caelus remained silent. The man who had lusted after power so much, who had ruthlessly killed others simply because he viewed anyone weaker as a re tool, had now beco the very thing he despised. For Azula, that was the ultimate punishnt.

He glanced at Sylvia standing beside him. She did not seem to care one bit about this revelation. Sylvia had visited Azula while Caelus was unconscious. Seeing her own father locked away in a ntal asylum had not caused a single ripple in her emotions. She was completely past that man. There were only a few people she actually cared about in this life, and those were Caelus and her brother Leonard.

Right now, Leonard was busy managing the vampires, systematically eliminating the forr Azula faction to secure his reign over them.

"I think we should go back to our kingdom in the Aria continent." Caelus turned his attention back to Sylvia. "What do you say?"

"We should," Sylvia agreed, offering a warm smile.

"But what if Mark sends his people after us?" Lyra interjected. "There is the Vance family to worry about as well."

"Isn’t that why you are here?" Caelus said with a confident smirk. "You are coming with us. You are a Crown III, right?"

Lyra’s lips twitched visibly when she heard his casual reasoning.

Before they made their departure, Caelus needed to check his standing. He activated his Open Up Mana buff.

"Open Up!"

[Mark Twilight is a formidable figure wielding terrifying might, for his gaze is fixed upon you, coveting your power as the Origin. Yet, set your heart at ease. The realms of the Middle Expanse have rged as one, and entities from beyond the great void shall soon descend in their soaring vessels. His hands shall be entirely tied by their arrival.]

This ssage ant he would be safe for a while. He fully intended to use this ti to level up. Starting tomorrow, inside his domain, his sole focus would be grinding and leveling.

They did not waste any ti and took a private jet straight back to the Solaris Kingdom.

The Solaris Kingdom still required a lot of reworking. He needed to officially rena it and deal with the other surrounding kingdoms. The Ritewing Kingdom had to be on high alert right now, especially since he had eliminated one of their princes. Caelus decided he was going to deal with the Ritewing Kingdom imdiately.

They did not have a Crown rank expert. The Ritewing king was only of equal strength to the forr king of Solaris. As a result, Caelus knew he could easily defeat him. Besides, they had Lyra the angel on their side now. She was a Crown III powerhouse. Only if two people of the sa caliber jumped her would she ever have a hard ti fighting. Aside from that unlikely scenario, she was a perfect deterrent.

There was also his pillar, Jibril. She possessed an estimated combat score of 150 at Gold III, putting her on the exact sa level as him and Sylvia. But Jibril had the terrifying ability to adapt to her enemies, making her an opponent that even a Crown I should rightfully fear.

It did not take them long to descend upon their destination, as the Ritewing Kingdom was situated quite close to Solaris. As soon as they landed, they noticed a grand funeral taking place. Asking around, they learned it was for Prince Seth. The king had declared a week long lockdown across the entire kingdom to mourn the death of his son.

Caelus, Sylvia, and Lyra did not want to waste any ti waiting around. They walked straight toward the Ritewing palace.

Inside the grand palace, King Anthony Ritewing sat among his ministers, gnashing his teeth in pure anger. "That Player 555. He killed my son. He will not get away with this."

Though he spoke with venom, Anthony knew the true limits of Player 555, who was none other than Caelus Kross, the man who had single handedly taken down the king of his own kingdom. Anthony knew he was only as strong as Solaris the Fourth. He had no real backing either, aside from the Player’s Association, and his relationship with them was incredibly strained. He was all talk, unable to back up his threats.

Just then, the heavy doors to his throne room pushed open. Sylvia, Caelus, and Lyra calmly walked inside.

The king froze in his seat the mont he saw them.

"Greetings," Caelus said casually. "I am here to take your head."

A few minutes later, the grand hall of the palace was painted red. Corpses were scattered across the polished floor. A few ministers had survived the brief slaughter, but the king was not among them. The man radiating the most death energy in the room, according to Sylvia’s senses, had not been spared.

With their task complete, the trio calmly walked out of the ruined palace.

Caelus pulled out his phone and dialed Brenda’s number.

"I took care of the Ritewing Kingdom," he stated simply.

"You... what?" Brenda’s lips twitched on the other end of the line.

"I will leave my pillar, Jibril, here to deal with anyone else that tries to rebel. Once that is over, you can officially take over this kingdom in my na. Make sure Minister Asshart and Old Man Welt know about this."

"Got it," Brenda replied, still processing the sheer speed of his conquest.

With that handled, they finally returned to Caelus’s mansion.

As soon as they arrived, City Lord Leon and his daughter Mia ca to greet them. Lyra decided not to show herself imdiately since Leon was present, choosing instead to wait so she could talk to Mia privately afterward.

"You are back," City Lord Leon said, looking at Caelus with a deeply complicated expression.

"The king of the newly conquered Solaris Kingdom lives in my place. Do you know how terrifying that fact is?" Leon let out a heavy sigh. "A few days back, you were just a Silver. Then you suddenly beca a Gold, and then you overthrew the entire kingdom. I truly have no words."

The matters of the central plains had been heavily suppressed by the higher ups. It was no surprise that Leon had not witnessed Caelus’s true power during his full dragon transformation.

"I am glad that I lived to see the day soone like you existed in this world," City Lord Leon said, heaving another sigh. "I am entrusting my daughter to you, Caelus. Take good care of her."

"What?" Caelus blurted out, completely baffled. Sylvia whipped her head around and stared at Leon with wide, dangerous eyes.

Mia herself looked utterly confused. She tilted her head, wondering what her father ant. Was he planning on going sowhere?

Soon after dropping that bombshell, City Lord Leon left under Sylvia’s intense, watchful gaze. Once he was gone, Lyra finally revealed herself to Mia.

Mia jumped in shock at the sudden appearance of an angel, but Caelus swiftly cald her down before she could get the wrong idea about the situation.

"What is going on?" Mia asked, still reeling after Caelus explained the basics to her. The two of them then found a quiet corner in the mansion to have a proper talk.

Sylvia, on the other hand, stood in the hallway with a deeply annoyed and irritated look on her face.

There were now two potential enemies right inside her house. How could she possibly rest easy?

Especially with Lyra around. She was breathtakingly beautiful due to her angelic nature. Sylvia knew she would not lose out to her in terms of looks, but she still needed to keep her guard up.

She could not help but wonder why her boyfriend attracted all these girls. What about guy friends? Did he even have any? She was fairly certain he did not have a single one.

"I must get these vixens out of my house so I can have so alone ti with my boyfriend," Sylvia muttered to herself, smiling shyly as she imagined having Caelus all to herself.
