Chapter 362 - 260: The King of the Stars’ Plot! The Witch’s Resurrection?

Chapter 362: Chapter 260: The King of the Stars’ Plot! The Witch’s Resurrection?

Su Xuan’s attention focused on the Additional Trait that had appeared in his trait library: [Demon King]. His heart beat slightly faster, bringing a flush to his cheeks.

This was the first time he had obtained a Super Rare Additional Trait. Unlike fixed traits, Additional Traits could be added beyond the three-trait limit and could be applied to any Adventurer he wished.

Every Super Rare Trait could elevate an Adventurer’s quality to the next level. Moreover, Beira Furo and Beiya Fuli had already leaped from Epic quality to Legendary quality after their baptism by the Elf Mother Tree.

This was proof enough that an Adventurer’s quality could indeed be changed.

’Well then~’

The corners of Su Xuan’s mouth lifted slightly. He already had the perfect candidate in mind for this trait.

Snapping out of his thoughts, he turned his gaze to Edith.

After defeating Lan Kai, a fleeting flicker of joy had crossed Edith’s devastatingly beautiful face, but the delight vanished as quickly as a meteor streaking across the night sky.

Su Xuan walked over to Edith and said, "Lan Kai is dealt with. Next, we should go deal with Princess Vivian."

However, Edith shook her head. Her gaze was fixed on the King of the Stars lying on the bed as she said coldly, "Your Majesty, how long are you going to pretend to be asleep?"

Hearing this, Su Xuan’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes also turned toward the King of the Stars lying on the bed.

Just then, the King of the Stars slowly opened his eyes. His brown irises were deep and sharp, staring intently at Edith and Su Xuan.

His withered fingers twitched slightly, and then he propped himself up, sitting up in bed.

"?"

Seeing the King of the Stars’ reaction, Su Xuan couldn’t help but feel a surge of doubt, his brows knitting tightly. Ivsha and the others were equally surprised by this sudden turn of events.

Who would have thought that the King of the Stars—rumored for years to be gravely ill and on his last breath—would suddenly sit right up!

The King of the Stars slowly turned his gaunt head. A Dark Green light flickered in his eyes, giving him a sinister and bizarre appearance. He stared at Edith and asked in a low voice, "Edith, when did you figure it out?"

"Figure it out?"

Edith chuckled lightly, gently twirling a lock of her hair with her fingertip. She said softly, "You can thank your second daughter, Catherine, for that. She has an unparalleled talent for Spirit Magic and discovered you were feigning your illness a long time ago."

"Catherine?"

Hearing this, the King of the Stars’ eyes narrowed slightly as he murmured Catherine’s name.

He truly hadn’t expected that his own daughter would betray him.

"You have only yourself to blame for insisting on giving the throne to Vivian. I’m quite curious myself—what exactly are you planning?"

Edith’s tone grew serious. "To think you were willing to abandon your own flesh and blood and instead choose to pour the Power of the Stars into a child created by a Witch? If you don’t mind, tell us what’s going on."

As her words fell, Su Xuan and the others all turned their gazes to the King of the Stars, awaiting his answer.

They, too, were desperate to know why the King of the Stars had made such a decision.

"Flesh and blood? Heh, what could you possibly understand?"

The King of the Stars sneered. "Vivian is my most beloved child. Even if she doesn’t share my blood, she is *our* child—mine and hers!"

"Only if Vivian inherits the Power of the Stars will I have a chance to resurrect her. Although this wasn’t her wish, it was only after she passed away that I realized I can no longer live without her."

"She was like an Angel in my life. If it weren’t for that detestable Night Curse, I could be kissing the top of her feet, not the cold soles of her shoes."

"But it doesn’t matter. Once my love is resurrected, her Curse will disappear~ Then, I can be with her forever..."

The King of the Stars’ speech made Su Xuan furrow his brow.

He got a sense of déjà vu, reminding him of when he’d read the Sunset City Lord’s diary.

This King’s actions were even more extreme than the Sunset City Lord’s.

He was actually trying to break the Curse on the Night Witch, desperate to be with her forever.

He was even willing to use the Star Kingdom’s unique Power of the Stars to do it. It was an act that defied the heavens!

And to him, Vivian’s existence was nothing more than a vessel for resurrecting the Night Witch.

After listening, Edith simply smiled, shrugged, and muttered, "As expected. Anyone who gets involved with a Witch goes crazy."

"Crazy?"

"You simply don’t understand my love for her!"

The King of the Stars’ roar shook the entire King’s Bedroom Palace as his body erupted in a Dark Green glow.

Immediately after, rings of green mist swirled around him. His withered body swelled, returning to a normal size.

But his skin had become festering, like pigskin scorched by a blazing fire, and the charred black marks were horrifying to behold.

"I won’t let you ruin this! The moment the Power of the Stars descends, my love will be resurrected!"

Following the deafening roar, black flames suddenly erupted from the ground, spreading rapidly to completely surround the King’s Bedroom Palace.

The flames not only blocked the exit but also cut off the Law Enforcement Knights who were trying to rush in from nearby.

At this moment, Su Xuan’s expression was complicated.

’From the moment I stepped into this King’s Bedroom Palace, I had a feeling I was about to fight a boss. I didn’t expect it to actually be true!’

Just then, information about the King of the Stars appeared in Su Xuan’s vision:

[King of the Stars (Legendary)]

Race: Human

Power: 4622 / Agility: 3560 / Magic Power: 4211 / Physique: 5111

Growth: 12 (Gains 12 points in All Attributes per Level)

Trait: [?]

’Level 90...’

Su Xuan stared at the King of the Stars’ Level, a grave look in his eyes.

His Guild was nowhere near strong enough to challenge a boss of this Level. The only chance of victory seemed to rest with Edith.

However, despite the dangerous situation, Edith seemed to have no intention of making a move. Her gaze merely swept lightly over Lucia, her intentions a complete mystery.

Seeing this, Lucia simply pressed her lips together slightly and then softly called out, "Vanessa!"

"Coming!"

Before her voice had even faded, a woman in a long, pristine white dress appeared silently beside Lucia.

She gripped a gleaming sword, its blade wrapped in light white silk, giving her an ethereal, otherworldly aura.

’Wait a minute?’

Su Xuan suddenly realized this was the White Silk Saintess from the Sun Sect Country who had come to the Star Kingdom!

Just then, Vanessa stepped in front of everyone and said with a smile, "Lucia... Saintess, everyone! Leave him to me. For now, please step back."
