World's End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 398: Since ancient times, fists have represented justice

```

"... i was ready to sacrifice myself, but it was the wise leen who enlightened me, making me realize that my sacrifice was meaningless. so, i will no longer compromise, no longer hope that the evil will come to their senses on their own. i will break the darkness of this world and lead people towards the light."

recounting the story of the people in the prison, du ge's eyes shone with a sacred light. "perhaps it was the gods who took pity on me and granted me a new martial soul, giving me the power to fight against the darkness of this world..."

what nonsense?

you harm others to save them?

to avoid rebellion and prevent the lucerne kingdom from falling into chaos, you sacrificed yourself and your family, and now you're toying with my daughter...

grand duke lynch was completely stunned by du ge's shamelessness.

who's really throwing mud at whom here?

the god who pities scum like you must be an evil god!

"holly, you shameless bastard, how dare you slander me like this..." xima lynch was on the verge of losing her mind. her eyes were bloodshot as she grabbed her staff. "i will kill you."

with that, she swung her staff, launching a series of fireballs at du ge. fire magic has always been the most destructive and the preferred offensive method for mages.

du ge waved his hand, conjuring a curtain of water that effortlessly extinguished xima's fireballs. "xima, there's no one else here, so stop the act. we can discuss a foolproof plan that will preserve your reputation and clear my name."

"shameless scoundrel, why should i admit to something i didn't do?" xima screamed hysterically, growing even more furious as she hurled fireball after fireball at du ge, all of which he easily neutralized.

when du ge threw a water ball at xima lynch's head, she finally calmed down. she suddenly realized that du ge's magic was instant and faster than hers.

she looked at du ge in disbelief, her chest heaving with anger, but she no longer attacked him.

grand duke lynch looked at du ge, his eyes filled with disbelief. no staff, no incantations, instant water magic—holly's magical prowess was at least at the level of a grand magus, a ten-star martial soul, a grand magus...

a powerful figure like this suddenly appearing in his life—if there wasn't a conspiracy behind this, even a ghost wouldn't believe it!

"xima, if what i said was false, then why did the grand duke expel my family and send me to the guillotine without me even touching you?" du ge asked with a smile.

"that's because i didn't want to marry that scumbag nelson," xima lynch blurted out.

you didn't want to marry one scumbag, so you framed another...

du ge looked at xima lynch and shook his head inwardly.

well, she wasn't wrong. if he hadn't possessed holly, xima lynch would have used this to call off the wedding with the prince, get rid of a scumbag, and gain public sympathy. it was indeed a foolproof plan! r

as a duke, lynch could easily place himself above the law and make this an ironclad case without any issues.

of course, judging by grand duke lynch's fear of the king of lucerne and the pope, he might really be planning to establish his own rule or rebel, not wanting to sacrifice xima lynch's future...

killing one scumbag could achieve many goals...

killing multiple birds with one stone, no problem!

unfortunately, he had possessed holly and randomly got a righteous keyword...

they could only blame their bad luck.

...

"holly, xima is a beautiful girl, isn't she?" grand duke lynch broke the silence, looking at du ge.

"indeed," du ge nodded, looking at the drenched xima.

"stephen, we'll settle our grievances later. don't harm xima," grand duke lynch frowned and said.

"i'm not as shameless as you," old gao snorted. "bard lynch, i'll stay here and wait to see you return like a defeated dog."

he was now full of confidence in du ge and no longer thought about taking revenge personally. moreover, without any equipment, he couldn't be a match for grand duke lynch.

grand duke lynch ignored old gao and cast a flying spell on himself and du ge. "let's go, holly. i hope you keep your promise."

"duke, as a man of integrity, i never break my word," du ge said with a smile.

"hmph!"

xima lynch looked coldly at du ge, recalling the look her father had given her earlier. her heart filled with inexplicable sadness.

this time, she would probably become her father's bargaining chip again!

she gripped her staff tightly, making a firm decision. if her father really made her marry this damned holly, she would personally poison him on their wedding night. no one could control her fate!

...

the rhine river!

grand duke lynch looked at du ge across from him. "holly, i actually think highly of you. i'll give you one more chance..."

"duke, it's too late."

du ge looked at grand duke lynch and suddenly smiled. he activated the seven-orifice touch and then quickly plunged into the rhine river.

splash!

grand duke lynch's voice abruptly stopped, his eyes bulging.

he quickly mobilized his magic to try to expel the water elements invading his body, but to his horror, he found that he couldn't control the water elements manipulated by du ge.

holly's magic power was above his?

how was that possible?

the pain inside his body grew worse, and the feeling of suffocation intensified...

grand duke lynch couldn't afford to think about why holly's magic power was higher than his.

while he could still move, he immediately swung his staff, activating the forbidden spell sealed within it—meteor shower.

earth elements quickly condensed, forming countless giant stones with a diameter of two meters, which hurtled towards du ge in the water.

then, grand duke lynch took out a scroll from his storage ring and tore it open, throwing it down. this was another forbidden spell—frozen world.

he wanted to freeze du ge in the rhine river and crush him with the meteors.

at this point, grand duke lynch no longer wanted to recruit du ge.

he just wanted to kill this despicable fellow. no one could use such an evil spell to insult a grand magus.

he wanted to show holly the consequences of angering a grand magus.

so what if his magic power was high?

he would never know how wealthy a duke and a grand magus could be...
