Little Tyrant Doesn't Want to Meet with a Bad End Chapter 666.1: The Despairing Truth (1)

Lukas Ackermann was humankind’s greatest traitor, as well Roel’s greatest rival in his fight for Sia’s Scepter.

This was their first meeting, but the two of them had been mortal enemies for a long time. Even when Roel was an unknown small fry, Lukas had already instructed Lilian not to approach him. He didn’t know the reason behind it then, but he understood it now.

Others might have perceived Lukas to be an ordinary human, but through the Crown Origin Attribute, Roel saw something different. He saw a man cloaked in a thin layer of darkness, with something reminiscent of a second heart lodged in his core, constantly gathering mana.

Each time his ‘second heart’ beat, the aura of madness around him would pulsate.

“Is this the reason you’re so vigilant of me, Lukas Ackermann?” Roel asked.

His hand continued to grip the scepter in front of him, and his expression showed no hint of fear. However, his ‘second heart’ began to violently contract, signaling that he had begun.

Seeing that, Roel chose not to bother with words anymore. He knew that the ‘second heart’ was in fact a Fallen Brand, and it was concrete proof that Lukas had been colluding with the Fallens. It was also the reason Lukas was able to get here and covet Sia’s Scepter.

The situation was clear; Roel had no need to waste his time on communicating. Lukas was an enemy he absolutely needed to vanquish, and the soldiers outside were still locked in a terrible battle with the Fallens.

He didn’t want to waste even a second on someone undeserving. His body began to glow, as he gathered his mana in preparation to attack.

Lukas suddenly spoke up. “Remnant of the Ardes, aren’t you afraid of damaging the divine scepter by fighting here?”

“It’s sturdier than you think. It was constructed by Charles and Carolyn. What a desperate attempt to stall for time. So it must not have been long since you arrived too, right?”

“…” Lukas didn’t answer.

That clued Roel in on the current situation.

Lukas might have arrived at the imperial capital
