[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke novel Chapter 435

Chapter 435: The Crimson Snow

Realization dawned upon Xion.

This was what Caspian had been aiming for from the start.

He wasn’t aiming to anger Xion—his goal was to turn the others against him.

Caspian was surrounded by nearly 500 of his own armed guards. All the while, those Death Walkers just stood behind them, waiting for orders.

The situation looked scary enough to make a grown man cry, especially when the refugees barely had a few good days. They would kill anyone who came between them and their freedom.

Even their lord Xion.

The soldiers at the wall had their arrows aimed at the enemy, but if even one got inside, it would be a disaster beyond control.

Yet Caspian was controlling it just fine.

Xion was merely standing between the open gates with Allen and Oswin right beside him. With one push, he could run back inside.

With this distance between them, Caspian wouldn’t be able to catch them, let alone those drooling creatures eyeing them like their next dinner.

But... that was never the plan.

Caspian wanted to turn the people against Xion, and with those bloody clothes, he seemed to have driven the final nail into the coffin.

That was if Xion was still the old Xion.

"Come here, Caspian. I need to ask you something."

"Your Grace, he is dangerous."

"Teacher, let me ask him."

Both Oswin and Allen were quick to jump in. When Xion shook his head, they had to grit their teeth.

"Aren’t you a good little dog?" Caspian mocked Allen. "Ah, there was another dog, you know. He died howling your name when I plunged my sword into his chest."

"Allen, step back."

Allen did, but the way his eyes were filled with fury, it somehow mimicked the internal turmoil running rampant inside Xion’s heart.

"Like I said, an obedient dog." Caspian swaggered forward until he was standing right next to Xion’s horse.

Allen’s hand clenched around the dagger. Just one glance from Xion and he would strike.

However, he didn’t get the chance to act.

It happened all of a sudden.

The pure white mana wrapped around Caspian’s neck in a matter of seconds.

It lifted him right off the ground and hung him like a sack of dirt.

His feet kicked, eyes wide as he stared at Xion.

When the soldiers moved to protect their choking leader, Xion snapped his finger.

The white light flashed, and in an instant, hundreds of heads were cut off.

The wet thuds came one after another, skulls splitting as they struck the ground. The hot blood sizzled over frozen land, and steam rose from torn necks like a battle pyre.

Everyone who was within Xion’s reach was dead.

There was not the slightest flicker in Xion’s blue eyes.

He calmly looked down at the choking Caspian, who was clawing at his throat, desperate to get a whiff of oxygen.

Blood started to streak down where he had scratched his skin.

"My Darius is alive. If he weren’t, you wouldn’t be trying to negotiate here."
