BXBX NOVEL Chapter 315 - The Prince Of Stars
Once Edwin was captured in those chains, multiple arrows were thrown at him. These arrows targeted his vital organs and immobilized him.
Only Edwin\'s mouth could move after so many arrows had pierced his body.
Shun continued to observe Edwin and frowned when he saw no trace of worry on his face, "…You are completely trapped now, Demon."
Edwin smirked as he asked, "Is that so?"
Shun confidently responded, "Yes. All your allies have been dealt with. They have either been killed or threatened to sever their connection with you."
Edwin still remained emotionless. He had already realized all these things.
.Shun also noticed his lack of emotion, and there would be no point if he kept going about these small things.
"Take him to the camp," Shun ordered a few warriors, and they grabbed hold of Edwin before leading him to their camp.
In the camp, Edwin was placed behind bars that were specially designed to nullify Ardor. Shun was sure that Edwin could no longer escape from that location.
Meanwhile, the warriors began to celebrate as they had accomplished their mission and would be rewarded soon.
Shun didn\'t join in the celebration since he was on his way to the place where Edwin was imprisoned. He had a couple of questions for Edwin.
Soon, he stood ahead of Edwin and asked him, "…What were you planning?"
There was no response from Edwin. Shun then began to speak, "What I know is that you planned to have the Sinyalian Kingdom and the Glerian Kingdom be at war against each other. But why? What exactly would you gain if the two kingdoms were at war against each other?"
Since Edwin was not replying to him, Shun continued ahead, "…Were you planning to get stronger through this event? But how?"
Edwin remained silent, and now, this silence was getting on Shun\'s nerves. Even though he had captured Edwin, he was receiving no response.
"Why did you have the Radiant Church fight against the Roger Dukedom?" Shun asked.
"…You are wasting your breath. You won\'t get any answers from me," Edwin finally spoke something.
"I see…" Shun whispered.
"No, you don\'t understand. You have no idea who you are talking to," Edwin spoke.
However, Shun shook his head and responded confidently, "I do know who I am talking to. A Demon God."
Edwin\'s eyes widened slightly as he heard those words. A few seconds later, he chuckled and then whispered, "My Totem, huh?"
"That\'s correct," Shun nodded his head.
"…I see. How long have you known then?" Edwin asked curiously.
Shun sneered in response and responded, "You are the one who is being questioned. I might consider answering you if you answer my question first."
"…" Edwin decided to remain silent.
He had many more questions in his mind, though. Why would the inheritor of the Stars be in such a backward kingdom?
The Inheritors of the Stars were quite famous even during his previous life. They possessed foreign energy called Starforce.
This energy used strength from the stars. Each of these inheritors would be connected to a single star and would derive their energy from it. During the day, they would be weak while they would be strong in the night, depending on how brightly their corresponding star was shining.
However, even amongst the inheritors of the stars, there was an individual who could connect to all the stars in the sky.
That man was called the Prince of Stars! He would receive a significant boost from the Sun\'s energy during the daytime and the millions of stars during the night time.
Azaroth remembered that when the Prince of Stars had reached the 8 Star Rank, the Demon Venerable and the Primordial God had attacked him in secret, killing him before he could grow any further.
This was one secret that might have shaken the world. Till now, other than Azaroth, Demon Venerable, and the Primordial God, no one knew just how the Prince of Stars had died.
Edwin was carefully analyzing Shun with his Mystic Eyes of Perception. His Mystic Eyes of Perception operated on Spiritual Energy, so Shun didn\'t find out about it.
Edwin noticed faint energy injected within Shun\'s body. Since it was still daytime and no stars were glowing in the sky, it meant that this energy was from the Sun.
\'Is he connected to the sun, or is he the Prince of Stars of this generation?\' He was curious about this.
\'I can\'t find out like this,\' Edwin internally sighed out.
He had tried all his methods to break these chains and escape from this prison. But they all failed.
At the least, he couldn\'t escape from this prison with his physical body. He could leave behind his Physical Body here and escape with his Spiritual Body.
After escaping with his Spiritual Body, he could combine back with Azaroth.
Currently, Azaroth already knew what had happened. He was quite startled that he had been caught like this. But slowly, he let out a sigh and thought \'If I didn\'t make those decisions, I wouldn\'t have reached anywhere. But still, next time, I need to be more cautious.\'
Azaroth had teleported to Kloras Town and was gathering his herbs.
Edwin had already constructed a teleportation channel from his end. So, it was extremely easy for Azaroth to come and take those herbs.
Azaroth didn\'t go and try to assist Edwin because he knew that there was no point. Revealing his identity here would not be a good idea.
It would instead be better to allow the Sinyalian Kingdom to let out a breath of relief.
\'It\'s a pity that I couldn\'t get what I wanted from this Kingdom,\' Azaroth coolly thought before teleporting back to the Glerian Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Edwin remained imprisoned since he wanted to gather more information before escaping with his Spiritual Body.
However, he found out that there was no point in remaining here any longer. Thus, in the cold night, Edwin\'s body suddenly fell to the ground.
Pure spiritual energy was released from that corpse as he went past the bars. He was moving towards Kloras Town.
Even as a form of Spiritual Energy, he could still utilize that teleportation array and teleport to Azaroth\'s side.
The next morning, a warrior who came to check up on Edwin found out that his body wasn\'t moving.
Shun was quickly notified and rushed to the scene. He was shocked when he saw Edwin\'s fallen body.
He had expected many things like Edwin making a run for it or some other trick to escape the prison. But this wasn\'t one of them.
Suddenly, he thought \'Is he faking his death?\'
He then looked at a warrior nearby, "Have Sir Mike come and check up on his condition."
"As you command, Inquisitor," the warrior immediately went to look for this man named Mike.
This man was a 6 Star Warrior and a physician as well. He definitely wouldn\'t be fooled by some fake death trick.
Soon, Mike appeared at the scene and checked up on Edwin\'s body. Shun and the other warriors stared at him with a look of anticipation.
Mike then stood up and stared at Shun before speaking, "He is dead. I guarantee it. I don\'t know if he has some trick to breathe life into this body again or not. But to prevent any complications, let\'s burn his body."
"True," A few more 6 Star Warriors agreed to this suggestion.
Meanwhile, Shun was left stunned now that Edwin\'s death had been confirmed.
\'I never imagined him to commit suicide! And how did he commit suicide anyway?\' These thoughts began to haunt Shun for the next couple of days.
