Chapter 228 Byrne! You Betrayed Me!

"Who is the dead Siyate noble?"

There was a huge shock in Byrne's heart, but he soon calmed down and took a deep breath.

"Another thing, why are the heretics from the Star Holding Society able to come here?"

It is clear that the Valley of White Bones is a place left by the powerful Apocalypse, and as long as outsiders do not follow the regular steps and complete the fixed route, they will not be able to reach the real entrance here.

However, those believers from the Star Supporting Society really came in.

Question after question emerged in Byrne's mind, and then a word came from deep inside.

traitor?

There was a traitor among the six who leaked the information. No, to be precise, except for the Viscount of Best, someone among the remaining five leaked the way to enter the Valley of Bones.

"If it's not me, then who among the remaining four will it be?"

Byrne fell into deep thought and thought carefully. The most unlikely person was Aldrich, the "Lord of Dragon Tamers".

That man was the heir to the Luomen family and was very powerful among the lower ranking monarchs. His strength alone was enough to kill everyone else.

So it won't be Aldrich, he doesn't need the followers of the Star Supporters to do anything at all.

He felt that there was a high probability that it would not be the arrogant and cold March, but it was not impossible. After all, he was not very familiar with the mysterious Emerald Elf.

In March, it might even be a fake name.

“Zain Fossac and Renzo Lain also have the possibility of betrayal, but Renzo is from the Lion family after all, so the probability is much smaller. Could it be that he is really Zain?”

Byrne took a deep breath. Could it really be Acting Bishop Zane Fosak?

But if you think about it carefully, it's not very possible. The acting bishop and the heretics would join forces. That kind of thing is scary just thinking about it.

He suddenly became thoughtful and finally realized who the person who leaked the information was.

"I see."

Byrne observed the three extraordinary beings and thought silently.

"Among the three cultists of the Star Supporting Society over there, there is only one who has undergone a qualitative transformation, while the other two are just high-ranking ones from the original point. I think it will be easy to kill them."

He slowly stretched out his hand, intending to launch a fatal attack, but then he thought of something.

"But you can continue to observe them. They may become useful chess pieces."

Then Byrne disappeared into a very thick fog, and he planned to go find other friendly forces, especially the situation of March and Viscount Bester that concerned him very much.

Besides the two of them, the one he cared about most was Zain Fusak, whom he had known for decades. Although the acting bishop was very arrogant at heart, he had always been very kind to the Fisher family.

However, in the thick white fog, it was impossible for Byrne to find anyone, and he vaguely felt that the surrounding terrain was changing.

"My memory of the valley means less if the surrounding terrain changes."

After walking for a long time, Byrne always maintained sufficient vigilance, constantly letting his substitute explore the path first, but because the "total concealment" war spell consumes a lot of money, he did not maintain it all the time.

He remained cautious, but didn't meet anyone for dozens of minutes.

Finally, in the thick white fog, Byrne found a cold body on the ground.

After observing closely through the stand-in, Byrne quickly frowned.

what happened?

That's March's body!

Emerald Elf, March, she fell to the ground with wide eyes, as if she had encountered something extremely terrible, and there was no trace of vitality in her slim body.

Byrne's heart was very uneasy. He never expected that March would die here, so what happened?

Although he didn't know much about March, he knew that March was a very alert, smart and experienced elf.

This guy can travel across the continent and wander around the four eastern countries alone, and he will never miss a place like this easily.

"Could it be that she encountered a powerful enemy at the monarch level?"

The terrifying possibility made Byrne take a deep breath. If there was indeed a monarch-level presence among the visitors, he would pray that he would meet the "Lord of Dragon Taming" soon.

He cautiously inspected March's body through the body double.

Later, Byrne was able to confirm that the corpse was a genuine elf corpse, and there were no traces of disguise. It was March, and there were no curses or traps set.

"..."

Byrne was silent for a long time, and could only give up placing the corpse temporarily and continue to move forward.

He must find someone else as soon as possible, and he needs to be a living person.

A few hours passed quickly, and Byrne, who failed to find anyone, still remained vigilant. A faint voice floated in the silence, like the whisper of a ghost, bringing an indescribable sense of trance.

Suddenly, he found a very familiar voice coming from not far away.

"Hahahahahaha! You disgusting guys, you actually came here to mess with my big event!"

Fully concealed!

He once again unleashed war spells on his avatar, and the next moment, the invisible avatar gradually moved forward.

Then Byrne discovered broken corpses dressed in black robes lying on the ground. They were all believers of the Star Holding Society, and the death conditions of each of them were very cruel.

Many people were even beaten into a pulp, and many died in confusion.

Next, the substitute who gradually approached the source of the sound saw an old man a few meters away, Viscount Best!

"Hahahahaha! There's only one left, why don't you come out quickly!"

Viscount Best's physical condition was very strange. The flesh and blood under his tattered clothes kept squirming, his body swayed strangely, and his whole person seemed very unstable.

He forcibly interrupted the breakthrough process, but did not die directly during the breakthrough process. He forcefully woke up and was still trying to reach the throne in the palace, with his whole body shaking continuously.

"Is this actually the case?"

Byrne immediately realized what was going on. Viscount Best should be about to make a breakthrough. He had successfully opened the door and was just short of the last step to sit on the throne!

Because the pressure brought by the "door" no longer existed, he did not die.

However, because he did not have the power to sit on the "throne" and control the domain, it led to the current strange state.

Theoretically, as long as he returns to the state of silence, he can return to that "palace" and successfully advance to the level of monarch!

"Turtle, why don't you come out? Why have you been hiding nearby?"

Viscount Best, who was in an abnormal state, sneered and cursed.

Byrne was stunned for a moment, and even thought that Viscount Best was scolding him, but he soon realized that there was actually another person not far away!

According to what Viscount Best said just now, that person should also be a believer of the Star Supporting Society.

"So many people in your Star Supporting Club have died. As the deputy leader of this team, don't you want to take revenge? Do you want to keep hiding like this? Hahahahahaha!"

"If you continue to be cowardly, you will never be able to return to the embrace of that disgusting thing!"

Best's taunts are vicious and specifically targeted at his enemy's beliefs.

Deputy leader?

Byrne frowned slightly, and soon realized that there was a stronger enemy in the valley, and that was the leader of this team.

Viscount Best was in a special state and was almost crazy. His whole body was shaking constantly, and his pupils were constantly turning white and black, as if he was about to mutate at any time.

"I will sit on the throne soon, and then all those who betrayed me will die! All of them! You guys don't understand anything at all, hahahahaha!"

His mood became extremely manic, but he was always alert to his surroundings.

Suddenly, in the diffuse white mist, the deputy leader of the Star Supporting Club took action.

That is a transcendent person who has achieved qualitative transformation!

Byrne realized that the deputy leader had become a powerful man who had made a qualitative change, and deep down he felt very bad, because this meant that among the people who came to the Star Supporting Association, there was probably a leader at the monarch level!

The star-supporting cultists in black robes silently released some kind of black smoke, and the black smoke mixed with the white mist and quickly floated over.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Viscount Best laughed wildly, not feeling the slightest fear in the face of the black smoke that was about to hit!

"Lord Best!"

Byrne's substitute suddenly revealed his true state, shouted next to Viscount Best, and then got very serious and prepared to face the enemy!

"Byrne!"

Viscount Best roared and looked at Byrne's substitute with excitement.

The black smoke is about to hit. They contain some kind of power that can eat away everything and is full of despair.

It was most likely not blood power, nor magic, nor some forbidden rare item, but a heretical power temporarily borrowed by cultists from otherworldly gods through sacrifices.

It's just that unlike the Order of the Dawn, the heretical powers mastered by those heretics are one-time or temporary.

Afterwards, the heretics would need to contribute a steady stream of sacrifices in order to maintain their strength.

Byrne's true identity was finally revealed, and he summoned the meteorite through the power of runes without hesitation!

The next moment, a huge, heavy meteorite full of flames fell from the sky, falling straight towards Viscount Best!

"It's you!"

Viscount Bester chuckled and roared angrily.

A huge sword appeared in his old hand, and he continuously waved the violent blue sword energy, sweeping away the black smoke in an instant, and at the same time completely shattering the huge meteorite.

A large amount of gravel fell from the sky, crackling on the tough body of Viscount Best.

He stared at Byrne, with a strong look of disappointment on his face. Even the smile that he couldn't stop just now faded away, and he said coldly:

"What a damn idiot. Do you think I couldn't find you? I can see the trajectory of fate, so being invisible and a substitute are meaningless to me."

"Byrne! You betrayed me!"
