A man who looked to be about forty-five came upon Rex quickly. As he approached him, Rex felt immediate danger. He was even willing to use the Demon King of Annihilation form to wipe this man off the Fifth Realm.
"Greetings child, I take it you are the one who shot that arrow?" The man asked.
"Indeed." Rex replied.
"Good. That saves a lot of pain and suffering on both of our ends. Now then, please choose your method of death?"
Several weapons got laid out before Rex. Rex saw the legendary daggers that made even the most advanced assassin piss their pants.
"Legendary Daggers of the Fallen Race"
"Equip Costs: Must have killed over one hundred thousand people, innocent or not. Must have at least 200,000 Qi.
Must have experienced near-death 50 times.
Must have recognition from the daggers themselves.
Must have saved the life of a Queen and/or Princess."
Rex finally understood why the Princess was always alone. She would get the daggers and kill the man who killed her mother. She awaited for the time when her father was either weak or distracted.
"I must say, those daggers are of high Quality. Not to mention that they would cost a fortune to steal. Seems like someone does not understand true beauty." Rex said picking up the daggers.
"Requirements for Equipping"
Requirement 1 You have killed over one hundred thousand people, complete.
Requirement 2 You must have over 200,000 Qi, complete in Demonic Form.
Requirement 3 Must have experienced near-death 50 times, incomplete.
Requirement 4 The daggers must recognize you as their new owner, complete.
Requirement 3 reevaluating...
Requirement 3 Must have experienced near-death 50 times, complete."
Rex wondered why he had to get the reevaluation. He quickly remembered, he has not had that many Life or Death situations this time.
The daggers got a blue hue to them. This told the man everything he needed to know. Before he could choose what weapon he wanted. Rex immediately beheaded the man.
"Such a disgrace to humanity." Rex said.
As a fire skill burnt the corpse, several clangs happened at once around Rex.
It seemed like bodyguards with swords and axes were fighting each other. The Princess was walking towards Rex. She knew the daggers he was holding.
"Hand those daggers over or I will slaughter you." She said angrily.
Before Rex could even give a response.
"Darling, is that you?" A woman came running in.
All fighting stopped and the guards were mad. Only she could make them stop at such a moment.
"My baby girl, why are you dressed as a bandit?" She genuinely asked.
"I was trying to get those daggers to kill that wretched man." She replied honestly.
This was where the bodyguards began to choose sides. Some of the guards were loyal to her, some to the man she wanted to kill, and others loyalty rests with their friends.
"How about I ask what kind of life you would live if you were to become my prisoner?" Rex asked.
The Princess and her mother froze. The guards all gripped their weapons tightly. A single step made the room freeze.
"Dearest Rex, if it is not the Newest Demon King. Care to explain why you would want my daughter and granddaughter to become your prisoners?" The old man asked.
"For starters, I could have already slaughtered the guards here. That makes too much noise and wastes too much Qi. As for the normal guy, he declared to fight me with weaponry that honestly is just garbage besides what I am holding.
The swing of a battle makes all the difference in the world by having a comfortable pair of weapons in your hands. Either it is dual axes, an axe, dual swords, a sword, or a spear. As for daggers, they are meant to keep the royals and nobility in check. Without them, they began to rule with an iron fist.
As for me, ruling is not about being the strongest, most righteous, most evil being, justice will not always prevail and evil will never be subjected, the most important part about a person ruling comes down to is their personality.
An evil person will let evil go wild. A just person will subject evil. A normal person will make mistakes. That is what the Realms need is normal. That makes more sense than having true evil or justice try to always get each." Rex said.
"Bravo."
The elderly man clapped.
The guards also began clapping.
The Queen began to clap.
Finally, the Princess clapped.
Once everyone clapped twice. It all stopped.
"I am glad to see young people fighting for their spot in the Nine Realms. So here, let us began with the introductions.
The girl behind you is Princess Xiao Fang. She is my granddaughter and only grand child. Make sure to treasure her virginity when you try to keep her as a prisoner before I behead you."
The standoff between the two started.
